Comparison research of transcutaneous bilirubin measurement and serum bilirubin measurement during phototherapy in neonates / 中华护理杂志

Objective To compare the correlation between transcutaneous bilirubin(TcB) measurement and serum bilirubin (TSB) measurement at covered and exposed skin sites during phototherapy in neonates.Methods Two sites of exposed skin and two sites of covered skin were chosen to measure the transcutaneous bilirubin.The serum bilirubin was monitored at admission and during phototherapy,while the transcutaneous bilirubin was tested and recorded at the same time of monitoring the serum bilirubin.Results A total of 112 cases were included from January 29th to April 15th in 2016.At the four monitoring points during phototherapy,the differences between the transcutaneous bilirubin of the two exposed sites and the serum bilirubin were statistically significant (P＜0.01).For the covered site 4,there were no significant differences between transcutaneous bilirubin and serum bilirubin at every test point (P＞0.05).When the serum bilirubin was higher than 307.8 μmol/L (18mg/dl),the serum bilirubin measurement was larger than the transcutaneous bilirubin measurement.Conclusion The transcutaneous bilirubin level of covered skin was more close to serum bilirubin,especially when the covered median skin of the second rib was chosen to monitor the transcutaneous bilirubin.When the serum bilirubin was greater than 307.8 μmol/L(18mg/dl),the transcutaneous bilirubin couldn't represent serum bilirubin quite well.

Effects of cetylpyridinium chloride buccal tablets on halitosis induced by oral conditions / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of cetylpyridinium chloride buccal tablets on halitosis induced by oral conditions.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>With Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia and Fusobacterium nucleatum as the testing bacteria, the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of cetylpyridinium chloride buccal tablets was determined using minute amount serial dilution test. The production of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) was measured using sulfide detector halimeter in the anaerobic bacteria culture at 4 and 8 h after addition of the tablets. The effect of the tablets in suppressing odor production by mouth-borne halitosis bacteria was assessed using cysteine challenge test in healthy volunteers, and the effectiveness was evaluated by measuring the reduction in VSCs production and the duration of the effect.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Cetylpyridinium chloride buccal tablets inhibited the growth of all the 3 bacteria. The tablets obviously inhibited VSCs production by the 3 bacteria with a effect similar to chlorhexidine. Compared with distilled water gargle, the buccal tablets significantly reduced cysteine-induced VSCs production level in the healthy volunteers (P<0.05), and the effect lasted for 230 min.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Cetylpyridinium chloride tablets can obviously suppress bacteria responsible for oral halitosis and produce good effects in the treatment of halitosis induced by oral conditions.</p>

Influence of surface modification of titanium on OPG/RANKL mRNA expression in MG-63 human osteoblast-like cells / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the influence of surface modification of titanium on OPG/RANKL mRNA expression in human osteoblast-like cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>MG-63 osteoblast-like cells were seeded on the titanium plates with surface polishing and with surface modification by sandblasting plus acid-base treatment, with the cells on glass slides as the control. On days 2, 4, 6, and 8 following cell seeding, the cells were harvested for examination of OPG/RANKL mRNA expression using RT-PCR and real-time PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expression of OPG/RANKL mRNA was sensitive to the surface microphotography. Compared with the other groups, the cells on the titanium plates with sandblasting plus acid-base treatment, which resulted in a porous micro-structure and high roughness, showed significantly up-regulated expression of OPG mRNA. OPG mRNA expression also showed a time-dependent up-regulation, and was the highest on day 8. The expression of the RANKL mRNA in cells on both of the titanium plates was higher than that in the control cells. The peak level of RANKL mRNA expression occurred on day 6 followed by a gradual decrease.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>A rough and porous surface of the culture plates and prolonged culture time can synergistically up-regulate the ratio of OPG/RANKL mRNA.</p>

Effects of mineralization liquid on rat's osteoblast proliferation and differentiation / 华西口腔医学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the rat osteoblast proliferation and differentiation in the mineralization condition and non-mineralization condition, and to prove the feasible time of adding the mineralization liquid to the cell surroundings.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>SD rat's calvarial osteoblast was primary cultured and passaged to the 4th generation. After proliferation stabilized, the 4th generation rat's osteoblast was cultured in the mineralization condition and non-mineralization condition. The cellular modality was observed by inverted microscopy analyzing system. Proliferation was described by MTT chromatometry and growth curve. Expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was proved by alkaline phosphatase staining, mineralized nodus alizarin red staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The cell apoptosis and proliferation were examined by flow cytometry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The proliferation of osteoblast went to the flat stage about in the 8th day. After in the mineralization condition 3 weeks, a number of mineralized nodus formed. After the osteoblast proliferation almost stabilized, the mineralization group and the non-mineralization group had the similar proliferation index (PI), but in the mineralization group, the expression of alkaline phosphatase of the osteoblast was more and kept longer than the last group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>After the osteoblast proliferation almost stabilized, adding the mineralization liquid would not influence the proliferation, but accelerate the osteoblast alkaline phosphatase expression and mineralized nodus amount. It proved that the feasible time to add the mineralization liquid was after the cell proliferation almost stabilized.</p>

Effects of nuclear factor-?B on cell apoptosis and left ventricular segmental function in acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion / 中华急诊医学杂志

Objective To probe the effects of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-?B) on cell apoptosis and left ventricular segmental function in acute ischemia repeffusion in dogs.Method Twenty-four dogs were randomly divided into three groups:without left anterior artery (lAD) ligation group (C group),LAD was occluded 30 min following reperfusion 120 minutes in isehemical reperfusion group (IR group),and dogs were administered with PDTC before LAD ligation in ischemical reperfusion plus pyorrole dithitocarbamate group (PDTC group).The left ventricular segmental function was detected by echo cardiography using strain rate anlysis software.EF measured by Simpson's method.Cardiac myocyte apoptosis numbers were determined by terminal deoxynudeotidy transferease-mediated biotinylated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling (TUNEL).lmmunohistochemistry and western-blot anylysis of NF-?B protein expression.Results NF-?B was obviously expression on injury myocardium of IR group,and increased significantly in contrast to control group (P0.05)Conclusions NF-?B might play an important role in acute myocardial ischemia reperfusion.PDTC reduces myocardial iscbemia/repeffasion injury by preventing expression of factor NF-?B.
