RESUMEN
Objective:To compare the effects and multi-organ intervention of tripterygium glycosides(TG) tablet from Hunan Qianjin Xieli (QJ) and Zhejiang Deende (DED) on type Ⅱ collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in rats. Method:The 72 SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, QJ TG clinical group 2 times, 6 times equivalent dose group (QJ-TG 0.018, 0.054 g·kg-1), derende TG clinical group 2 times, 6 times equivalent dose group (DED-TG 0.018, 0.054 g·kg-1). The intragastric administration was started on the day after the first immunization, once a day. After the second immunization, the symptoms such as redness and swelling of joints were observed, and the clinical score of arthritis were evaluated. The materials were taken for pathological examination of the inflammatory joints on the 21th and 42th day. The concentration of alkaline phosphatase(ALP), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), gamma-glutamyltransferase(GGT), total bilirubin(TBIL), creatinine(CRE) and urea(UREA) in serum were detected by enzymatic assay. The rate of sperm deformity, testicular and ovarian tissue damage in the rat epididymis was assessed. Result:TG from two manufacturers attenuated the inflammation, redness, swelling and deformity of joints in CIA rats, reduced the clinical score and incidence of arthritis in CIA rats. Meanwhile, it also exhibited obvious reduction in all pathological features such as joint synovitis, pannus, cartilage erosion and bone destruction. There were significant differences between the QJ-TG high and low dose groups and the DED-TG high dose group compared with the model group (PP-1 group had a significant inhibitory effect on the clinical scores on the 15th and 18th days than the QJ-TG same dose group (P-1 dose of DED-TG, the white blood cell count and spleen index were significantly increased.At the same time, two different manufacturers of TG had no effect on body weight, organ index, digestive system, liver and kidney function, liver and kidney pathology of CIA model rats. QJ-TG and DED-TG all significantly increased the rate of male rats sperm malformation and significant damage to testicular seminiferous tubules and the toxicity increased with the increase of dose and time. while the mole reproductive toxicity of DED-TG was higher than that of QJ-TG at the same dose. In the DED-TG 0.054 g·kg-1 and QJ-TG 0.054 g·kg-1 group, there were only the reduction of vascular distribution in the ovarian tissue and the reduction of the corpus luteum, and no other toxic effects were observed. Conclusion:Two manufacturers TG2 times (0.018 g·kg-1) and 6 times (0.054 g·kg-1) clinical equivalent dose can delay the onset of CIA in rats, reduce the clinical score of arthritis, improve the pathological changes of joints, but have a certain degree of male reproductive toxicity. The high-dose DED-TG is more toxic than the QJ-TG.
RESUMEN
This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of solution form of 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on removing smear layer of root canals at different exposure time periods and to provide scientific basis for EDTA as a choice of root canal irrigation in clinical practice. Twenty-five single-rooted teeth were randomly divided into 5 groups: control group (group A) was given 2.5% NaOCl, and 4 experimental groups were given 2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA, including groups B, C, D and E with exposure time of 1, 3, 5 and 7 min, respectively. After preparation of the root canals, the teeth were split along their longitudinal axis, and the root sections were examined under scanning electron microscope for evaluation of smear layer removal and erosion on the surface of the root canal walls. The specimens in group B showed presence of smear layer on the walls of the root canal with no statistical difference from that in group A (P>0.05). In groups C and D, partial removal of smear layer was obtained, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05), but there was significant difference in removal of smear layer between group C and group B (P<0.05). Root canal walls in group E specimens showed almost complete removal of smear layer, and the removal of smear layer was significantly different from that in group D (P<0.01). There was no significant change in the structure of the surface of root canal for each sample. It was concluded that combined irrigation with 17% EDTA and 2.5% NaOCl could remove the smear layer with no significant alteration in dentinal structure when the chelating agent was applied for 7 min. At 3 and 5 min of application, partial removal of smear layer was observed and at 1 min negligible removal of smear layer was achieved.

RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical pathological feature and diagnostic criteria of tongue amyloidosis (AL).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>During 1992 to 2005, 25 patients pathologically diagnosed as tongue AL in our hospital were reviewed retrospectively, and all of them had no enlarged tongue. Haematoxylin and eosin (HE) and immunohistochemical staining were used to detect the amyloid deposition on the tongue.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Totally 84% (21/25) patients had symptoms of xerostomia and taste-blindness, 44% (11/25) patients complained of activity limitation of tongue. Macroscopic observation showed mucosa pallescence, punctuate hemorrhage, red grain particles, and ulcers on the tongue. HE staining indicated amyloid depositions in basement membrane, muscle cell, vessel wall, and nerve fiber. Immunohistochemical study demonstrated kappa light-chain deposition in 64% (16/25) cases, and lambda light-chain deposition in 36% (9/25) cases. They presented in vessel wall, nerve fiber, and muscle cells.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The biopsy is an important means for the diagnosis of early tongue AL, and the wide variety of amyloid light chain is helpful to differential diagnosis.</p>
