ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Experimental and clinical experiences show that the surface roughness of dental restoration materials directly affects bacterial adhesion; in addition, the material composition and physicochemical properties are also important influencing factors. OBJECTIVE: To compare the bacterial adhesion of zirconia ceramics and nickel chromium al oy as oral materials. METHODS: Zirconia ceramics and nickel chromium al oy were respectively cut into 10 pieces of 3. 0 cm ×3.0 cm×0. 2 cm plate specimens. For each material, five pieces were subjected to surface polishing treatment, and the other five pieces were glazed. Surface roughness value of specimens was detected. Experimental strains of Streptococcus mutans was cultured on the specimen surface at 37 ℃ for 48 hours, and the amount of bacteria adhering to the specimen surface was detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Surface roughness of four groups of specimens showed no difference. The amount of bacteria that adhered to the polishing specimens of zirconia ceramics was significantly lower than that of nickel chromium al oy (P < 0.05), but no difference was found in the amount of bacteria adhering to the glazing specimens of nickel-chromium al oy and zirconia ceramics. These findings indicate that zirconia ceramics has better ability to inhibit bacterial adhesion than nickel-chromium al oy, especial y after glazing.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of remifentanil on the proliferation,the cell cycle and apoptosis of human liver carcinoma cell line HepG2 in vitro.Methods Human liver carcinoma cells HepG2 were cultured in vitro.The HepG2 cells of the test group were incubated in the RPMI-1640 medium with remifentanil at different concentration(0.001,0.01,0.1,1,10,100,200 μmol/L).The HepG2 cells of the control group were incubated in the RPMI-1640 medium for 48 hours.The level of the cell proliferation was evaluated with methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method.The cell cycle was detected with flow cytometry (FCM).The morphological change of apoptosis cell was observed by fluorescence microscopy after staining by Hoechst33258.Results Remifentanil inhibited the proliferation of the HepG2 cells with a dose-dependent effect.Compared with control group,the cell proliferation capability was apparently decreased in the test group (P ＜ 0.05) when the concentration of remifentanil was over 1 μmol/L (P ＜0.05).However,no significant difference in cell proliferation was found when remifentanil was 100 and 200 μmol/ L.The ratio of G0/G1 phase of HepG2 cells was significantly enhanced and the ratio of S phase of HepG2 cells was significantly decreased when remifentanil was over 1 μmol/L.The fluorescent microscopy stained by the Hoechst33258 showed part of HcpG2 cells apoptosis in test group,and the apoptotic rate was significantly increased when remifentanil was over 1 μmol/L (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The data suggest that remifentanil would inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells and induce apoptosis when remifentanil was over 1 μmol/L.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of intrathecal sufentanil and protein kinase C inhibitor on pain threshold and the expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receaptors (NMDAR)/calcitonin generelated peptide (CGRP) in spinal dorsal horn in rats with neuropathic pain.@*METHODS@#Fifty-four healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (9 in each group). The rats in the sham group(Group S) + spared nerve injury (SNI), SP+SNI, and P+SNI were intrathecally injected sufentanil (1 μg), sufentanil (1 μg) and chelerythrine chloride (11 μg), chelerythrine chloride (11 μg) followed by 10 μL normal saline once every day for 14 days postoperatively, respectively. Similarly, rats in the control group (Group C), the sham group (Group S), and SNI model group (Group SNI) were intrathecally injected 20 μL normal saline in the uniform interval. Pain behaviours were measured on Day 1 pre-surgery and on Day 1, 2, 7, and 14 after the intrathecal injection. The expressions of NMDAR and CGRP in the spinal dorsal horn of L5 segment were determined by immunohistochemistry on Day 2, 7, and 14 after the intrathecal injection.@*RESULTS@#Compared with Group C and Group S, mechanical allodynia threshold in group SNI was decreased after the surgery (P<0.01), and expressions of NMDAR and CGRP immunoreactive soma in the spinal dorsal horn was significantly increased (P<0.01). Mechanical stimulation pain threshold was elevated in Group S+SNI, Group P+SNI, and Group SP+SNI compared with Group SNI (P<0.01), while expressions of NMDAR and CGRP immunoreactive soma in Group S+SNI, Group P +SNI, and Group SP+SNI were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or 0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#Intrathecal administration of sulfentanil and protein kinase C inhibitor can provide significant antinociception in rats with neuropathic pain and obviously inhibit the upregulation of NMDAR and CGRP expressions in the spinal dorsal horn of SNI rat models.

Objective To compare the effects of different administration routes and dosages of tropisetron on cisplatin-induced kaolin intake in rats.Methods Ninety-six healthy adult male Wistar SPF rats were randomly divided into 8 groups(n =12 each):intrathecal (IT) control group (group TC) and 3 tropisetron groups receiving IT tropisetron 10,20 and 30 μg,the volume of each group was 30 μl (group T10,T20,T30),intravenous(Ⅳ) control group (group IC) and 3 tropisetron groups receiving Ⅳ tropisetron 0.3,0.5 and 0.7 mg/kg respectively (group I0.3,I0.5,I0.7).In group TC and IC,normal saline 30 μl and 0.5 ml were injected IT and Ⅳ,respectively.All rats received cisplatin 3mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection at the time point of thirty minutes after administration,each rat weight,the daily food and kaolin intakes were detected at the time point of 48 hours after cisplatin administration.Results Compared with group Tc,each rat weight loss,the kaolin intakes were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05),and food intake dose was significantly increased in group T20 (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group IC,each rat weight loss,the kaolin intakes were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05),and food intake dose was significantly increased in group I0.5 and I0.7 (P ＜0.05).There was no significant difference between group I0.5,I0.7 and group T20.Conclusions The kaolin intakes and the rat weight loss can be decreased by IT tropisetron,and the food take dose was increased meanwhile,and IT tropisetron 20 μg has equivalent efficacy to IV tropisetron 0.5 or 0.7 mg/kg.IT could be the new administration route of tropisetron.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of intrathecal (IT) ketamine on the synapsis remodeling in the spinal dorsal horn during devolopment of morphine tolerance in a rat model of neuropathic pain (NP). Methods Male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were used in this study. IT catheter was placed in the subarachnoid space according to Yaksh. Forty-eight SD rats in which IT catheter was successfully placed were randomly divided into 6groups (n=8 each): group sham operation (group S); group NP; group normal saline 20 μl IT(group NS);group morphine 20 μg IT (group M); group ketamine 50 μg IT (group K) and group morphine 20 μ g + ketamine 50 μg IT (group MK). NP was induced by compression of right L4,5 dorsal root ganglions with steel wire inserted through L4,5 intervertebral foramen in NP,M,K and MK groups. Normal saline or morphine and/or ketamine were injected IT once a day for consecutive 14 days. Paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) to mechanical stimulation and paw withdrawal latency (PWL) to a thermal nociceptive stimulus were measured on 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 14 days during the consecutive 14 days of administration. The animals were sacrificed after the final IT administration. The lumbar segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the number of synapsis in the spinal dorsal horn by immuno-histochemistry in 4 animals in each group and observation of synaptic structure remodeling using electron microscope in another 4 animals in each group. Results Compared with group S, PWT was significantly decreased and PWL was shortened in the other 5 groups, and the number of synapsis was significantly increased and the synaptic structure was thickened in NP, NS, M and K groups (P ＜ 0.05). Compared with group NP,PWT was significantly increased and PWL was prolonged in M, K and MK groups, and the number of synapsis was significantly decreased and the thickness of synaptic structure was significantly reduced in group MK ( P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group M, PWT was significantly increased, PWL was prolonged, the number of synapsis was significantly decreased and the thickness of synaptic structure was significantly reduced in group MK ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion IT ketamine can inhibit the synaptic remodeling in the spinal dorsal horn during development of morphine tolerance in a rat model of NP.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the changes of haemodynamics and cerebral state index during double-lumen endobronchial intubation with glidescope ranger video laryngoscope (GSVL) and macintosh direct laryngoscope (MDLS). Methods Forty-eight ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 35 ～ 67 yrs were enrolled in this study, who were scheduled for elective pulmonary cancer or cancer of esophagus radical correction tients were random divided into 2 groups( n =24 each), GSVL group and MDLS group. After anesthesia was induced, all patients were given a score of Cormack grading under MDLS and GSVL, and then endobronchial intubation was performed. Noninvasive BP and HR were recorded before and after induction of anesthesia, during endobronchial intubation and after endobronchial intubation was completed for 1,2, 3, 4,5 min. The CSI was continuously monitored and recorded before and after induction of anesthesia, and after endobronchial intubation for 1 ～ 2 min and 3 ～ 5 min. Results Compared with MDLS group, the rate of Cormack grade 1 was significant higher in GSVL group (91% vs 58% ) ( P ＜0. 01 ). BP of two groups at T1 and T5 ～ T7 were significantly decreased compared to T0 values ( P ＜0. 01 ). Endobronchial intubation (T2 ～T4) caused significant increase in BP and HR compared to post-induction values(T1 ) ( P ＜0. 01).The highest values of HR after intubation exceeded even their baseline values before induction of anesthesia.The haemodynamic responses to endobronchial intubation in GSVL group at T2 ～ T4 were significantly different from those in MDLS group( P ＜0. 05). CSI of two groups at T1 was significantly decreased compared to To values( P ＜0. 01 ), CSI of two groups at T2 induced significant increase compared to T1 values, and the increase of CSI in MDLS group was stronger than that in GSVL group( P ＜0.01). Condusion The haemodynamic responses produced by orotracheal intubation using GSVL had more obvious advantages than MDLS, but GSVL seemed to provide a clear view of glottis and a little change CSI effect.
