Comparison of the effect of two disinfectants on the independent waterway disinfection of a periodontal ultrasonic scaler / 口腔疾病防治

Objective @#To compare the disinfection effect of 3% (v/v) hydrogen peroxide and 500 mg/L chlorine-containing disinfectants in the independent waterway of a periodontal ultrasonic scaler to provide a reference for clinical waterway disinfection management in stomatology departments.@*Methods @#The 18 ultrasonic scalers were randomly divided into 3 groups of 6 units: the control group, experimental group 1 (3% hydrogen peroxide disinfectant group), and experimental group 2 (500 mg/L chlorine-containing disinfectant group). The replaceable parts of the independent waterway pipes of the 3 groups of ultrasonic scalers were replaced, and the water supply was supplied with sterile distilled water (DW). In the control group, special treatment was not applied to the nonreplaceable pipe part. In experimental group 1, the 3% hydrogen peroxide was used to disinfect nonreplaceable pipelines. In experimental group 2, the nonreplaceable part was disinfected with the 500 mg/L chlorine-containing disinfectant. The water sample was taken from the outlet of the scaler working part in the three groups for monitoring before disinfection, immediately after disinfection and 10 consecutive days after disinfection. Bacteria in the water samples were cultured for the colony counts. Then, the bacterial culture data were compared between groups. The qualified criterion of the water sample was that the number of bacterial colonies was less than or equal to 100 CFU/mL. After disinfection, a bacterial species mass spectrometry identification analysis was carried out when the number of bacterial colonies in each group exceeded the standard for the first time. Biofilms from the inner wall of the tube in the three groups were observed under an electron microscope on the 10th day after disinfection.@*Results @#There were no significant differences between the three groups before disinfection (F = 2.549, P = 0.111). The number of bacterial colonies in the spout of 6 scalers in the control group all exceeded the standard, and three kinds of bacteria were cultured: Sphingomonas melonis, Herbaspirillum huttiense, and Ralstonia pickettii. Compared with those in the control group, the number of bacterial colonies in experimental group 1 decreased significantly for 1-2 days after disinfection (P<0.05) and reached the standard. On the 3rd day after disinfection, the number of bacterial colonies of group 1 increased rapidly and exceeded the standard, and three kinds of bacteria were cultured: Sphingomonas, Herbaspirillum huttiense, and Ralstonia pickettii. For experimental group 2, the number of bacterial colonies decreased significantly compared to the control group on Days 1 to 6 after disinfection, but the number of bacterial colonies increased slightly from the 7th day after disinfection and exceeded the standard. Two kinds of bacteria were cultured: Herbaspirillum huttiense and Ralstonia pickettii. The average number of bacterial colonies 10-day after disinfection in experimental group 2 was lower than that in experimental group 1(P<0.001). Under an electron microscope, the biofilm thickness of the two experimental groups was significantly lower than that of the control group. @* Conclusion @# There is water pollution in the independent waterway of a periodontal ultrasound scaler. Three percent hydrogen peroxide and 500 mg/L chlorine disinfectant both have effective disinfection effects on the outlet water of scalers, and the effect of 500 mg/L chlorine disinfectant is better than that of 3% hydrogen peroxide. The use of 3% hydrogen peroxide to disinfect periodontal ultrasound scaler-independent waterways is recommended for disinfection every other day, and disinfection once a week is recommended for the use of 500 mg/L chlorine disinfectant.

miR-17-5p regulates proliferation, invasion, migration and apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE2 cells by down-regulating BRMS1Lexpression / 中国肿瘤生物治疗杂志

@# Objective: To explore the molecular mechanism of miR-17-5p regulating the proliferation and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by regulating the expression of breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 like (BRMS1-like or BRMS1L) gene. Methods:A total of 40 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and corresponding paracancerous tissues resected from nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, who were admitted to the General Hospital of Pingdingshan Shenma Medical Group during January 2014 to December 2017, were included in this study; in addition, nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines CNE 2, HONE 1, C666-1 and nasopharyngeal immortalized epithelial cell line NP69 were also collected for this study. The expression of miR-17-5p in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and cell lines was detected by qPCR. The targeted relationship between BRMS1L and miR-17-5p was predicted by the StarBase and verified by the Dual luciferase reporter gene assay. Effects of transfection of miR-17-5p mimics and inhibitors on the expression of BRMS1Lin CNE2 cells were detected by WB assay. CCK-8, Transwell and Flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of miR-17-5p/BRMS1L axis on the proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of CNE 2 cells. Results: miR-17-5p was highly expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and cell lines (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Knockdown of miR-17-5p significantly inhibited proliferation, invasion and migration of CNE2 cells but promoted apoptosis (P<0.05 or P<0.01); miR-17-5p targeted BRMS1Land down-regulated its expression. Over-expression of BRMS1Lsignificantly inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of CNE2 cells but promoted apoptosis (all P<0.01); while simultaneous over-expression of miR-17-5p and BRMS1L reversed the above effects (all P<0.01). Conclusion: miR-17-5p promoted proliferation, invasion, migration and inhibited apoptosis of CNE 2 cells by down-regulating the expression of BRMS1L.

Effects of RFX1 over-expression on proliferation and invasion of glioma cells / 中国肿瘤生物治疗杂志

@# Objective: To validate the effect and the possible mechanism of human regulatory factor X1 (RFX1) over-expression on the proliferation and invasion of glioma F98 cells. Methods: RFX1-overexpressed F98 cells (F98-RFX1 group) were constructed by lentivirus transfection, a control group (F98-Vector group) and normal group (F98 group) were established. The effect of RFX1 over-expression on F98 cell proliferation was observed with counting method, cell apoptosis was determined by AnnexinV-PI staining, and the cell invasion was observed with Transwell method. Results: F98 cell line over-expressing RFX1 was successfully established. The proliferation capacity of F98-RFX1 group was significantly lower than that of F98 group (48 h: [12.08±2.17]×104/ml vs [23.67±4.51]×104/ ml, P<0.05] and F98-Vector group (96 h: [8.17±0.31]×104/ml vs [18.58±1.18]×104/ml, P<0.05); The apoptosis level of cells in F98RFX1 group was significantly increased ([21.89±2.33]% vs [3.38±1.39]%, [10.42±1.83]%, P<0.05]; The invasiveness of cells in F98RFX1 group was significantly reduced ([33.3±7.99] vs [56.5±13.9], [60.6±11.8], P<0.01). Conclusion: RFX1 can regulate the expression of genes related with proliferation and invasion, thereby inhibiting the proliferation and invasion ability of glioma cells and promote cell apoptosis.

Motivations, Challenges and Coping Strategies for Smoking Cessation:Based on Multi-ethnic Pregnant Couples in Far Western China / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

The present study aimed to clarify the smoking cessation motivations,challenges and coping strategies among pregnant couples.A qualitative design using a grounded theory approach was applied.Data were collected by individual semi-structured interviews with 39 married individuals (21 non-smoking pregnant women and 18 smoking or ever-smoking men with a pregnant wife) and 3 imams in an ethnically diverse region of far westem China.The most common theme for smoking cessation motivation was "embryo quality" (i.e.,a healthier baby),followed by family's health.Most interviewees reported that husband's withdrawal symptoms were the greatest challenge to smoking cessation,followed by the Chinese tobacco culture.Coping strategies given by the pregnant women typically involved combining emotional,behavioral and social interventions.Social interventions showed advantages in helping to quit smoking.Pregnancy appears to be a positive stimulus for pregnant couples' smoking cessation.Our results suggest that pregnancy,a highly important life event,may help to reduce barriers to smoking cessation at the social level (e.g.,limiting access to cigarettes,avoiding temptation to smoke),but does little to help with the withdrawal symptoms.Professional guidance for smoking cessation is still necessary.
