RESUMO
Objective: To systematically compare the bowel cleaning ability, patient tolerance and safety of oral sodium phosphate tablets (NaPTab) and oral polyethylene glycol electrolyte lavage solution (PEGL) to inform clinical decision making. Methods: PubMed, Embase, CBM, WanFang Data, CNKI, and VIP databases were searched for studies that used randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the roles of NaPTab and PEGL in bowel preparation before colonoscopy. Two reviewers independently screened the studies, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias in the included papers. A meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 13 RCTs were eligible for inclusion, including 2,773 patients (1,378 and 1,395 cases in the NaPTab and PEGL groups, respectively). Meta-analysis revealed no significant difference in the cleansing quality of the NaPTab and PEGL groups [RR 1.02, 95% CI (0.96-1.08), P = 0.46]. The incidence of nausea was lower in the NaPTab group than in the PEGL group [RR 0.67, 95% CI (0.58-0.76), p < 0.00001]. Patients rated the taste of NaPTab higher than PEGL [RR 1.33, 95% CI (1.26-1.40), P < 0.00001]. Willingness to repeat the treatment was also higher in the NaPTab group than in the PEGL group [RR 1.52, 95% CI (1.28-1.80), P < 0.00001]. Both serum potassium and serum calcium decreased in both groups after the preparation; however, meta-analysis revealed that both minerals decreased more in the NaPTab group than in the PEGL group [MD = 0.38, 95% CI (0.13-0.62), P = 0.006 for serum potassium and MD = 0.41, 95% CI (0.04-0.77), P = 0.03 for serum calcium]. Meanwhile, serum phosphorus increased in both groups after the preparation; however, levels increased more in the NaPTab group than in the PEGL group [MD 4.51, (95% CI 2.9-6.11), P < 0.00001]. Conclusions: While NaP tablets and PEGL were shown to have a similar cleaning effect before colonoscopy, NaP tablets had improved patient tolerance. However, NaP tablets had a strong effect on serum potassium, calcium, and phosphorus levels. For patients with low potassium, low calcium, and renal insufficiency, NaP tablets should be prescribed with caution. For those at high-risk for acute phosphate nephropathy, NaP tablets should be avoided. Given the low number and quality of included studies, these conclusions will require additional verification by large high-quality studies.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Curculigoside is a natural phenolic glycoside compound produced by Curculigo orchioides Gaertn. This study aimed to explore the effects of curculigoside in promoting the osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) as well as the underlying mechanism. METHODS: ADSCs were treated with curculigoside at different concentrations (0 µmol/L, 1 µmol/L, 2.5 µmol/L, 5 µmol/L, 10 µmol/L, and 20 µmol/L), and cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay. Then, the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was determined, and alizarin red S (ARS) staining was performed to measure the extracellular mineralization of curculigoside. Information about protein-chemical interactions is provided by the search tool for interactions of chemicals (STITCH) database. Then, LY294002 was administered to explore the mechanism by which curculigoside promotes the osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs. Western blot assays were performed to assess changes in the expression of osteogenic-related markers and the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT. Finally, we established an ovariectomized (OVX)-induced osteoporosis mouse model and administered curculigoside to explore the effects of curculigoside in preventing bone loss in vivo. RESULTS: The CCK-8 assay indicated that curculigoside did not induce cytotoxicity at a concentration of 5 µmol/L after 48 h. The ALP and ARS results revealed that the induced group had higher ALP activity and calcium deposition than the control group. Moreover, the curculigoside group exhibited increased biomineralization, ALP activity, and ARS staining compared to the induced and control groups, and these effects were partially inhibited by LY294002. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis indicated that the target genes of curculigoside were mainly involved in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. PCR and western blot analysis showed that the expression of RUNX2, ALP, and Osterix was upregulated in curculigoside-treated ADSCs, but this effect was partially reversed by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002. Moreover, the curculigoside-treated group exhibited significantly increased phosphorylation of AKT to P-AKT compared with the osteogenic induction group. After treatment with curculigoside, the mice had a higher bone volume than the OVX mice, suggesting partial protection from cancellous bone loss. In addition, when LY294002 was added, the protective effects of curculigoside could be neutralized. CONCLUSIONS: Curculigoside could induce the osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs and prevent bone loss in an OVX model through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND: ß-ecdysone (ßEcd) has numerous pharmacological effects, although its role in the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) has not yet been explored. METHODS: In cell experiments, BMSCs were induced to differentiate by osteogenic induction medium (OIM) or ßEcd. In animal experiments, an osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) rat model was established using lipopolysaccharide plus methylprednisolone and treating the rats with ßEcd. The osteogenic differentiation capacity of human BMSCs (hBMSCs) was analyzed by alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red S staining. Histopathological changes in rat femoral head tissues were observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The expression levels of RUNX2, COL1A1, OCN and phosphorylated Akt in BMSCs from rat femoral head tissues were measured by a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or western blot analysis. RESULTS: Alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium nodules in the ßEcd-treated BMSC group dose-dependently increased compared to those in the control and OIM groups. The hematoxylin and eosin staining results indicated that femoral head tissues of ONFH rats showed typical osteonecrosis, which could be ameliorated by ßEcd. Western blot, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry assays demonstrated that the expression levels of RUNX2, COL1A1 and OCN in hBMSCs and femoral head tissue models were obviously increased after ßEcd treatment, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase and Akt phosphorylation were also increased. CONCLUSIONS: ßEcd may be beneficial for the recovery of ONFH patients by accelerating osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, which may be a novel therapy for related diseases.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To measure the positional changes of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disk and condyle with insertion of anterior repositioning splint (ARS) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for further understanding of the splint therapy mechanisms.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty-two patients with temporomandibular joint clicks were included. 31 TMJs were diagnosed as anterior disk displacement with reduction (disk-displaced group), and the other 13 TMJs were normal (normal group). All joints were scanned oblique-sagittally by MRI before splint treatment in three positions including closed-mouth position of centric occlusion (the position before insertion of ARS), incisors' edge to edge position, and mandibular least forward protrusion position (the position after insertion of ARS).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>1) Disk-condyle angle: In closed-mouth position, the average angle was 54.23 degrees in the disk-displaced group, while it was 9.80 degrees in the normal group; in incisors' edge to edge position and mandibular least forward protrusion position, the angle was reduced to normal in most of the disk-displaced cases. 2) Disk position: From closed-mouth position to incisors' edge to edge position or mandibular least forward protrusion position, the forward displaced disk moved backward significantly, while the disk with normal position did not change significantly in the three positions. 3) Condyle position: From closed-mouth position to incisors' edge to edge position or mandibular least forward protrusion position, the condyle moved forward and downward significantly both in the disk-displaced group and in the normal group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>With insertion of the splint, the condyle moved anteriorly and inferiorly and the disk moved posteriorly, most of the anterior displaced disks could be reduced to normal positions in the joint fossa. The result indicated that the splint protruded condyle forward and prevented the backward reduced disk from displacing forward again during mouth closing.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To detect the mutation and expression of SH-3BP-2 in Chinese patients of cherubism and to investigate the possible relationship of gene mutation and multinucleated giant cells in lesions.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Genomic DNA was extracted from paraffin-imbedded tissues and peripheral blood samples of 10 cases of cherubism (6 familial cherubism and 4 sporadic cherubism). SH-3BP-2 mutations were detected by PCR-direct sequencing. The nature of multinucleated giant cells in lesions was detected by enzyme histochemical staining and immunohistochemical staining using paraffin-imbedded tissues sections. The SH-3BP-2 protein was detected by immunohistochemical staining.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Three missense mutations (G1520A, G1505A, G1505C) in exon 9 of SH-3BP-2 were identified which led to 3 transitions (Gly420Glu, Arg415Gln, Arg415Pro). There were no abnormalities in exon 3 of SH-3BP-2 except 1 case which had not PCR products. The protein SH-3BP-2, the calcitonin receptor and the tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase were detected in the cytoplasm of all multinucleated giant cells and parts of monokaryon matrix cells in 8 paraffin-imbedded samples.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The SH-3BP-2 mutation may participate in the differentiation and maturation of osteoclast-like cells in the lesion of cherubism.</p>
