ABSTRACT
Autogenous odontogenic materials are a new, highly biocompatible option for jaw restoration. The inorganic component of autogenous teeth acts as a scaffold to maintain the volume and enable donor cell attachment and proliferation; the organic component contains various growth factors that promote bone reconstruction and repair. The composition of dentin is similar to that of bone, which can be a rationale for promoting bone reconstruction. Recent advances have been made in the field of autogenous odontogenic materials, and studies have confirmed their safety and feasibility after successful clinical application. Autogenous odontogenic materials have unique characteristics compared with other bone-repair materials, such as the conventional autogenous, allogeneic, xenogeneic, and alloplastic bone substitutes. To encourage further research into odontogenic bone grafts, we compared the composition, osteogenesis, and development of autogenous odontogenic materials with those of other bone grafts. In conclusion, odontogenic bone grafts should be classified as a novel bone substitute.

ABSTRACT
Objective To Explore the effect of Cassia Seed budding transforming organic vanadium. Methods Separate organic vanadium from inorganic vanadium in Cassia Seed sprouts by dislysis bag. The content of total vanadium and inorganic vanadium were determined by using the method of Graphite Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The transformation efficiency of organic vanadium in the Cassia Seed spouts was calculated. Results The seed coat of Cassia Seed could accumulate massive inorganic vanadium existing in environment during the process of its natural growing period,but the transformation efficiency of organic vanadium mainly occurred inside seed coat of Cassia Seed. Condusion Cassia Seed budding is one pathway of the biologic organification of vanadium.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the proper inner control genes suitable for mRNA expression level comparison of aging rat tissues.Methods Real-time reverse transcription PCR was used to examine in aging rat tissues the expression level of G3pd(glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase),ACTB(?-actin),H3f3b(H3 histone,family 3B),Arbp(acidic ribosomal phosphoprotein P0)and 18S(18S ribosomal RNA).Results The most stably expressed housekeeping gene in aging rat kidney was ACTB,in heart and lung G3pd showed the minimum variation;Arbp expression was the most stable one in different tissues.Conclusion For aging rat intra-tissue mRNA normalization at least two housekeeping genes should be used: one is the ribosomal RNA gene 18S and another one is Arbp.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To study regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and neuronal apoptosis in penumbra following focal cerebral infarction in rats.METHODS: To establish the model of focal cerebral infarction based on the principle of photochemical initiation of thrombosis.Laser Doppler flowmetry was used to measure rCBF in ischemic core and penumbra.The numbers and anatomic distribution of apoptosis cells were examined in situ histologically with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase(TdT)-mediated dUTP-fluorescein nick end-labeling(TUNEL) assay in adjacent sections.RESULTS: rCBF in penumbra decreased to the minimum at(6 h) in which it was 30.88%?7.11% of normal.From 9 h to 48 h,rCBF in penumbra increased gradually.At 48 h,91.90%?4.56% of normal cerebral blood flow was recovered which was significant differences than others.Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase(TdT)-mediated dUTP-fluorescein nick end-labeling(TUNEL) assay demonstrated that TUNEL-positive cells occurred at 6 h and were expending in a radial fashion only in penumbra.The numbers of apoptosis cells were progressively increased with time and to the maximum in penumbra after 48 h following focal cerebral infarction.CONCLUSION: There were delayed neuronal apoptosis following focal cerebral infarction.The mechanism may be related to ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by the recovery of rCBF in penumbra.
