RESUMO
BACKGROUND:The implant osseointegration rate of patients with diabetes is low,and the failure rate is high,which seriously affects the quality of life.It is urgent to improve the implant osseointegration of patients with diabetes by effective means to elevate the success rate.Exploring the effect of berberine on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under a high-glucose environment and its specific mechanism will provide effective theoretical support for solving the above problems. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of natural extract berberine on the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under the high-glucose microenvironment. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells of SD rats were cultured by the whole bone marrow adherence method.CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effects of different concentrations of berberine on the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells under the high-glucose environment and to screen out the optimal berberine concentration.The expressions of Runx2 and Osx were detected by alkaline phosphatase activity,alicarin red staining and PCR to determine the effect of berberine on osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesymal stem cells under the high-glucose environment.To further explore the underlying mechanism,we introduced the AMPK-specific inhibitor Dorsomorphin and used a DCFH-DA reactive oxygen species fluorescent probe to examine reactive oxygen species levels.The p-AMPK expression was also determined by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)10 μmol/L was the optimal concentration of berberine to promote bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell proliferation.(2)Alberberine promoted alkaline phosphatase viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and mineralized nodule formation in a high-glucose microenvironment.(3)Alberberine promoted the expression of Runx2 and OSx in a high-glucose microenvironment.(4)Alberensine effectively inhibited the reactive oxygen species level of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in a high-glucose environment.(5)The effects of berberine on promoting bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis and inhibition of reactive oxygen species were reversed by the AMPK inhibitor.(6)Berberine activated AMPK and promoted p-AMPK expression.(7)The above results indicate that berberine(10 μmol/L)promotes the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in a high-glucose environment by activating AMPK and reducing intracellular reactive oxygen species levels.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To assess the practical and health economical values of non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) in Changsha Municipal Public Welfare Program.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was carried out on 149 165 women undergoing NIPT test from April 9, 2018 to December 31, 2019. For pregnant women with high risks, invasive prenatal diagnosis and follow-up of pregnancy outcome were conducted. The cost-benefit of NIPT for Down syndrome was analyzed.@*RESULTS@#NIPT was carried out for 149 165 pregnant women and succeeded in 148 749 cases (99.72%), for which outcome were available in 148 538 (99.86%). 90% of pregnant women from the region accepted the screening with NIPT. 415 (0.27%) were diagnosed as high risk. Among these, 381 (91.81%) accepted amniocentesis, which led to the diagnosis of 212 cases of trisomy 21 (PPV=85.14%), 41 cases with trisomy 18 (PPV=48.81%) and 10 cases with trisomy 13 (PPV=20.83%). The sensitivity and specificity of NIPT for trisomy 21, trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 were (97.70%, 99.98%), (97.62%, 9.97%) and (100%, 99.97%), respectively. In addition, 213 and 30 cases were diagnosed with sex chromosomal aneuploidies (PPV=46.2%) and other autosomal anomalies (PPV=16.57%), respectively. For Down syndrome screening, the cost and benefit of the project was 120.79 million yuan and 1,056.95 million yuan, respectively. The cost-benefit ratio was 1: 8.75, and safety index was 0.0035.@*CONCLUSION@#NIPT is a highly accurate screening test for trisomy 21, which was followed by trisomy 18 and sex chromosomal aneuploidies, while it was less accurate for other autosomal aneuploidies. The application of NIPT screening has a high health economical value.

Mechanosensitive ion channels (MSCs) are key molecules in the mechano-electrical transduction of arterial baroreceptors. Among them, acid-sensing ion channel 2 (ASIC2) and transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1) have been studied extensively and documented to play important roles. In this study, experiments using aortic arch-aortic nerve preparations isolated from rats revealed that both ASIC2 and TRPV1 are functionally necessary, as blocking either abrogated nearly all pressure-dependent neural discharge. However, whether ASIC2 and TRPV1 work in coordination remained unclear. So we carried out cell-attached patch-clamp recordings in HEK293T cells co-expressing ASIC2 and TRPV1 and found that inhibition of ASIC2 completely blocked stretch-activated currents while inhibition of TRPV1 only partially blocked these currents. Immunofluorescence staining of aortic arch-aortic adventitia from rats showed that ASIC2 and TRPV1 are co-localized in the aortic nerve endings, and co-immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that the two proteins form a compact complex in HEK293T cells and in baroreceptors. Moreover, protein modeling analysis, exogenous co-immunoprecipitation assays, and biotin pull-down assays indicated that ASIC2 and TRPV1 interact directly. In summary, our research suggests that ASIC2 and TRPV1 form a compact complex and function synergistically in the mechano-electrical transduction of arterial baroreceptors. The model of synergism between MSCs may have important biological significance beyond ASIC2 and TRPV1.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Apical sealing ability is the key to ensure the long-term curative effect of root canal therapy. The post space preparation exposes some inevitable influence on root canal sealing ability, so how to minimize this effect becomes a hot spot.OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of immediate or delayed post space preparation on the apical sealing ability of different root canal sealers.METHODS: Forty-eight extracted human premolar teeth were obtained, and the tooth crown was cut off. The samples were randomly divided into three groups (n=16 teeth per group). Group A underwent the immediate post space preparation; group B underwent the delayed post space preparation; group C without the post space preparation. Then all groups were subdivided into two groups, and then were filled with the gutta-percha/AH-Plus (groups A1, B1 and C 1)or the gutta-percha/mineral trioxide aggregate (groups A2, B2 and C2). The depth of apical dye penetration was measured using pressure-driven system. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in the apical microleakage between groups A1 and B1, A2 and B2, C1 and C2 (P > 0.05). The apical microleakage in the group A1 was significantly higher than that in the group A2, and the group B1 also showed higher apical microleakage than the group B2 (P < 0.05). Our findings suggest that either immediate or delayed post space preparation exposes little influence on the apical microleakage after root canal filling with gutta-percha/mineral trioxide aggregate, which exhibits better apical sealing ability than the AH-plus.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Guidances for design of Chinese people’s temporomandibular joint prosthesis are urgently needed because foreign prosthesis is unsuitable for Chinese people due to variant anatomy parameters. OBJECTIVE:To provide a reference for improving the design of artificial temporomandibular joint through computer three-dimensional digital measures of the anatomy parameters of the temporomandibular joint. METHODS:Continuous CT data with layer thick 0.625 mm of 30 normal temporomandibular joints were selected. Three-dimensional digital reconstruction and eight related anatomy parameter measurements of the articular fossaandcondylar of the joints were performed using Mimics10.01 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The internal and external diameter of the mandibular fossa, head of mandible and neck of mandible were greater thantheanterior and posteriordiameter. The mandibular foramen was located at middle-posterior of the ramus ofthe mandible. The distance between head of the mandible and coronoid process was longer than the depth of the mandibular notch. There were no significant differences between two sidesregardingal above-mentioned parameters. There are certain regular patterns in anatomy parameters of the temporomandibular joint. The study results wil provide a reference for improving the design of artificial temporomandibular joint.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: At present, there is no consensus on the timing of post space preparation in the clinical medical treatment. But it can be inferred from some studies that post space preparation may affect coronal microleakage using different fil ing materials. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of immediate post space preparation and delayed post space preparation restoration on coronal microleakage using different fil ing materials. METHODS: Forty-eight extracted and single-rooted premolars were randomly divided into six groups (n=8 per group): premolars were fil ed with AH-plus paste and gutta-percha with the immediate post space preparation as group A1; premolars fil ed with mineral trioxide aggregate paste and gutta-percha with the immediate post space preparation as group A2; premolars fil ed with AH-plus paste and gutta-percha with the delayed post space preparation 1 week later as group B1; premolars fil ed with mineral trioxide aggregate paste and gutta-percha with the delayed post space preparation after 1 week later as group B2;premolars fil ed with AH-plus paste and gutta-percha as negative control group; premolars fil ed with gutta-percha as positive control group. Afterwards, al specimens were soaked for 4 weeks under simulated oral environment to measure the length of coronal microleakage by pressurized dye penetration method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: No coronal microleakage was found in the negative control group, but serious coronal microleakage occurred in the positive control group involving the entire root canal. And there was no significant difference in the length of coronal microleakage between group A2 and B2, as wel as between group A1 and A2 (P > 0.05); but the length of coronal microleakage in the group A1 and B2 was significantly less than that in the group B1 (P < 0.05). These results show that the delayed post space preparation has overt effect on the coronal microleakage of root canal fil ed with AH-plus paste.

RESUMO
Objective To explore the effect of the gene silencing of phosphatidic acid-preferring phospholipase A1 (PA-PLA1) on insulin secretion in mouse insulin-secreting cell line MIN6. Methods The siRNA expression vector of mouse PA-PLA1 gene targeting was constructed using mouse PA-PLA1 mRNA sequence available in GenBank, and MIN6 cells were transfected with the vector. Fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western-blotwere applied to screen efficient RNAi-vector. After transfection with obtained efficient RNAi-vectors for 48 hours, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion experiments were conducted, and the changes of insulin secretion were examined. Results Four siRNA expression vectors of mouse PA-PLA1 gene targeting were confirmed to be successfully constructed by the analyses of enzyme cleavage and sequencing. The results of fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot analyses indicated that the siRNA expression vectorpGPU6-PA-PLA1-1885was the most effective RNAi-vector in the four vectors. The expression levels of the PA-PLA1 mRNA and protein of the MIN6 cells transfectedwith pGPU6-PA-PLA1-1885 decreased to 46.3% and 33.9% of that of the control, respectively, and meanwhile the insulin secretion levels of the cells decreased to 65.0% of that of the control (P < 0.05). Conclusion The gene silencing of phosphatidic acid-preferring phospholipase A1 might decrease insulin secretion in MIN6 cells.

RESUMO
Objective To study the linguistic manifestations and locations of brain lesions of Uyghur aphasia patients,and the differences between Uyghurs and other Chinese aphasics.Methods Forty-five aphasic Uyghurs and forty-five other Chinese aphasies were studied.All had suffered a stroke.Aphasia examinations were performed using a Chinese aphasia battery(ABC).CT and MRI images were taken of all patients.Results There was no obvious difference in linguistic manifestations between the Uyghur and other aphasics.The brain lesions of 24 Uyghur cases(53.33%)and 36 of the others(80%)were located in the classic language centers,a highly significant difference.The incidence of crossed aphasia in the Uyghur group was higher than among the others.Conclusion Various types of aphasia have their own unique linguistic characteristics,but the same type of aphasia has the same linguistic characteristics among Uyghurs and other Chinese.Chinese aphasia is more coincident with the pattern of classic language centers than aphasia among Uyghurs.
RESUMO
To study the effect of exogenous oxygen, we added water solution of paraquat to 7 d cultures of Coriolus versicolor for the next 148 h. Enzyme exudation and biochemical process were investigated on the addition of paraquat. We found that compared with the control (without paraquat), the addition of 30 micromol/L paraquat stimulated the activity of manganese dependent peroxidase (MnP), lignin peroxidase (LiP), and laccases (Lac) 7, 2.5 and 1.3 times, respectively. Also, addition of paraquat enhanced activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in the first 48 h. Impact of paraquat on ligninolytic enzymes was significant than that on antioxidant enzyme. Addition of paraquat enhanced phenolic compounds and formaldehyde of cultures too. And concentration of malondialdehyde was increased in the first 24 h. The results showed that addition of paraquat promoted oxidative stress, but the antioxidant systems of the fungal strain are sufficient to prevent mycelia from oxidative stress. As exogenous oxygen, paraquat might be a useful substrate in degradation of lignocellulose.
