RESUMEN

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To construct a multiple-scale organized implant surface with super-hydrophilicity.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The SiC paper polished titanium disc was sandblasted and treated with HF/HNO₃ and HCl/H₂SO₄, then acid-etched with H₂SO₄/H₂O₂. The physicochemical properties of the surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscope, static state contact angle and X-ray diffraction. MC3T3-E1 cells were used to evaluate the effects of the surface on the cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The acid-etching process with a mixture of H₂SO₄/H₂O₂ superimposed the nano-scale structure on the micro-scale texture. The multiple-scale implant surface promoted its hydrophilicity and was more favorable to the responses of osteoprogenitor cells, characterized by increased DNA content, enhanced ALP activity and promoted OC production.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>A multiple-scale implant surface with super-hydrophilicity has been constructed in this study, which facilitates cell proliferation and adhesion.</p>

RESUMEN

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effects of overexpression of exogenous Notch1 in human tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) cells on cell growth and expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in vitro.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Human TSCC cell line Tca8113 cells were transiently transfected with the eukaryotic expression plasmid pRAMIC-IRES2-EGFP encoding exogenous intracellular fragment of Notch1 and control plasmid pIRES2-EGFP by Lipofectamine 2000, respectively. Untransfected parental Tca8113 cells served as control. The cell proliferation was evaluated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay. The apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. The mRNA and protein levels of Notch1 and EGFR in Tca8113 cells were detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. The expression of EGFR protein in Tca8113 cells was detected by immunocytochemistry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>MTT assay showed that the cell proliferation of Tca8113 cells transfected with pRAMIC-IRES2-EGFP was significantly inhibited as compared with controls (P < 0.05). After transfected with pRAMIC-IRES2-EGFP for 48 h, the apoptosis rate of Tca8113 cells was significantly higher than those of Tca8113 cells transfected with pIRES2-EGFP and untransfected Tca8113 cells (P < 0.05), and Notch1 expression was significantly increased at mRNA (P < 0.05) and protein (P < 0.05) levels, while EGFR expression was significantly decreased at mRNA (P < 0.05) and protein (P < 0.05) levels.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Overexpression of exogenous Notch1 may inhibit cell growth and down-regulate EGFR expression in TSCC cells.</p>

RESUMEN

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effects of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene silencing mediated by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) on proliferation and apoptosis of human tongue carcinoma cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>shRNA eukaryotic expression vector targeting the specific sequence of human EGFR gene was constructed and termed shEGFR. The control vector targeting the unrelated sequence was also constructed and termed shNC. The vectors were transiently transfected into Tca8113 cells of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma by Lipofectamine 2000, respectively. The mRNA and protein levels of EGFR in Tca8113 cells were detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. The cell proliferation of Tca8113 cells was evaluated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The apoptosis of Tca8113 cells was assessed by flow cytometry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>EGFR expression in Tca8113 cells transfected with shEGFR were obviously decreased at mRNA level (81.6%) and protein level (72.0%) (P < 0.05) 48 h after transfection of shEGFR compared with untransfected Tca8113 cells. The proliferation activity of Tca8113 cells transfected with shEGFR was significantly lower than that of Tca8113 cells transfected with shNC and untransfected Tca8113 cells (P < 0.05). The early apoptotic rate of Tca8113 cells transfected with shEGFR was significantly higher than that of Tca8113 cells transfected with shNC and untransfected Tca8113 cells [(39.4 +/- 7.7)%, (4.3 +/- 1.2)%, (2.5 +/- 0.9)%, P < 0.05] 48 h after transfection of shEGFR.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>EGFR gene silencing mediated by shRNA may inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in human tongue carcinoma cells.</p>

RESUMEN

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the expression of Notch1 in human tongue squamous carcinoma (TSCC) and precancerous lesion, and to explore the potential relation between Notch1 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The expression of Notch1 and EGFR was detected in human TSCC (n = 41), tongue leukoplakia (LP) (n = 39) and normal tongue mucosa (n = 7) by immunohistochemistry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In normal tongue mucosa and LP, the positive staining of Notch1 was mainly distributed in stratum corneum, partially in stratum granulosum and stratum spinosum, but not in stratum basale, while the positive staining of EGFR was mainly distributed in stratum basale, rarely in stratum spinosum, but not in stratum granulosum and stratum corneum. In TSCC, Notch1 expression was mainly distributed in locations of squamous metaplasia, but not in peripheral cells of carcinomas, while EGFR expression was detected mainly in peripheral cells of carcinomas, but not in locations of squamous metaplasia.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Notch1 promotes the differentiation of epithelial cells in tongue mucosa and acts as a tumor suppressor in TSCC. EGFR may act as a negative regulator of Notch1 expression in epithelium of tongue mucosa and TSCC, for maintaining cell proliferation and promoting the tumorigenesis and progression of TSCC.</p>

RESUMEN

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the potential anchorage of bicortical microimplant for tooth movement.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Five bicortical microimplants were inserted in the interradicular area of the second premolar (P2) in one side of the mandible (test side), 5 monocortical microimplant in the contralateral region (control side) in 5 beagle dogs. A total of 100 g force was generated between the implant and the fourth premolar (P4) in two sides. M1-P4, CA-IB and CA-M1 were measured biweekly. At the end of loading, specimens with P4 segments were cut and grounded to 70 microm to calculate the bone-to-implant contact (BIC).</p><p><b>RESULT</b>All the bicortical microimplants remained stable during the treatment periods, while 1 monocortical microimplant was lost within 1 week. Mesial movement of P4 was ( 3.92+/-0.22) mm in the test side, (2.03+/-0.15) mm in the control side (P<0.05). Analysis showed no difference of the BIC between the bicortical microimplants and the monocortical microimplants.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The bicortical microimplant may be used as orthodontic anchorage for mesial movement of posterior tooth.</p>

RESUMEN

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Electrochemical therapy (ECT) has been used to treat unresectable hepatic tumor. In order to improve its efficacy, we combined ECT with hyperthermia induced by electrothermal needle (ETN) (ETECT). The aim of this study is to investigate the destructive effect of ETECT on normal rat liver.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty rats were randomized into 4 treatment groups (n=5 in each group): control, ECT alone, hyperthermia alone and ETECT. Following the treatment, sections of the livers were histologically examined by light microscopy and the destructive volumes were measured with micrometer.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>We found that the destructive volumes in ETECT group were the largest (P<0.01). In ETECT group coagulative necrosis was found in both anode and cathode areas, around which transition zones existed. The transition zones can only be seen when coulomb was increased in ECT group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>ETECT was demonstrated to enhance the destructive effect of ECT. This study provides theoretical and experimental basis for a new local ablative treatment for unresectable primary liver tumor.</p>

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To study expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) and its relations to microvessel density (MVD) and lymphatic metastasis. METHODS: With 9 cases of normal oral mucosa as control, the expression rate of iNOS in 41 cases of OSCC was evaluated by immunohistochemstry SP staining. With CD34 as label, MVDs of these cases were also detected. RESULTS: The iNOS expression rate of OSCC cases was 63.41%(26/41), while no positive expression was seen in 9 cases of normal oral mucosa. Anymore, the expression rate of N+ group was 85.00% while that of N group 42.90%, the rate between them was significantly different (P<0.01). There was correlation between MVD and lymphatic metastasis (rs=0.51, P<0.01). MVDs in groups of different iNOS expression( approximate, equals +++) were 29.667+/-6.945, 34.833+/-4.579, 46.357+/-6.687, 54.167+/-5.565, respectively, and were significantly different with each other (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: There is high expression rate of iNOS in OSCC, and it has close relation to lymphatic metastasis; angiogenesis may facilitate lymphatic metastasis of OSCC, and expression of iNOS has positive relation to MVD in OSCC.
