Abstract
SUMMARY
The five cases presented here describe a conservative treatment procedure for complicated crown-root fractures of molars with extensive loss of tooth structure. After the mobile crown-root fragments were extracted, the remaining crowns were restored at the juxtagingival level. The follow-up time ranged from two years, seven months, to four years. At the follow-up examinations, all of the teeth were asymptomatic and had healthy clinical appearances. There was no evidence of pockets related to fractures. The results of these cases show that complete periodontal healing is possible with conservative treatment of complicated crown-root fracture of molars.

Abstract
Murine Uromodulin-like 1 (Umodl1) encodes Ca2+-dependent EGF-like membrane-bound proteins. This study presents its novel expression in the immune and female reproductive systems. Upon stimulation by CD3/CD28 antibodies, Umodl1 showed a prompt and robust response in the proliferating CD4+ T cells, suggesting its implication in immune defense against pathogens. In ovary, Umodl1 is regulated by gonadotropins. Mice carrying extra copies of functional Umodl1 were generated by BAC transgenesis. Defects in the female reproductive system became evident from 4 months of age, manifested by reduced or diminished fertility. Histology revealed that the ovaries contained very few discernible follicles in the cortical region, and were devoid of distinguishable corpus lutea (CL). Among the multilayered preantral follicles, elevated apoptosis was observed in both the oocytes and surrounding granulosa cells (GCs). Furthermore, a high level of PPARγ indicated an abnormal adipogenesis in the mutant ovaries, which resulted in the conversion of GCs into adipocytes. By 6 months of age, all mutant mice became anovulatory. Ovarian tissues including CL, follicles of various stages and associated stromal cells were degenerated. Altered expression of AMH, follicle-stimulating hormone and other ovary-specific marker genes such as Gdf-9, Rnf35, NOHLH and Gcx-1 further demonstrated that the molecular properties of the mutant ovaries have been severely disturbed. This work presents a novel animal model for investigating the pathogenesis of premature ovarian failure or early ovarian ageing.

Abstract
A rare midfoot injury pattern of navicular—cuneiform and calcaneal—cuboid fracture—dislocation is presented with two typical cases and a systematic review of the literature. This injury usually occurs as a result of high-energy crushing trauma and most often causes plantarly directed dislocation of the midfoot. Initial diagnosis includes a thorough physical examination and adequate radiological imaging, comprising anteroposterior, oblique and lateral X-radiography and computed tomography with three-dimensional reconstruction. Care should be taken to determine any injury to adjacent midfoot joints, in particular the Lisfranc joint. Intrasurgical protection of soft tissue is essential. Open reduction using two parallel incisions with minifragment plate fixation is recommended in more comminuted injuries. The navicular—cuneiform and calcaneal—cuboid joints play important roles in maintaining the arch of the foot and in weight-bearing during locomotion. Without proper therapy in the immediate post-traumatic phase, the long-term results are generally unsatisfactory.

Abstract
Mutations in the DAX1 gene result in X-linked congenital adrenal hypoplasia (AHC). Affected boys usually present with primary adrenal failure in early infancy or childhood and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) at puberty. This paper describes the clinical, hormonal, radiological, and genetic characteristics of 2 Chinese patients with X-linked AHC. Primary adrenal insufficiency occurred in the 2 patients during their childhood and HH was recognized at puberty. Genomic DNA was extracted from their peripheral blood leukocytes and coding sequence abnormalities of the DAX1 gene were assessed by PCR and direct sequencing analysis. Genetic analysis of the DAX1 gene revealed 2 novel mutations c.572-575 dupGGGC, p.Thr193Gly,fs,205X and c.773- 774 dupCC, p.Ser259Pro,fs,264X in exon 1, causing frameshifts and yeilding premature stop codons at 205 and 264, respectively. This study identifies 2 novel mutations in the DAX1 gene which can further expand the mutation database and benefit patients in the diagnosis and treatment of AHC.

Abstract
AIM To present a case that used spiral computerized tomography (CT) to locate and successfully remove a fractured endodontic instrument lying beyond the apical foramen using a surgical approach. SUMMARY The fracture of an endodontic instrument beyond the apical foramen is rare. In this case report, after an attempt to remove a fractured instrument failed, a multi-slice spiral computerized tomography (MSCT) was used for diagnosis and treatment planning. The fractured segment was precisely located and found in the soft tissue and successfully removed by surgery. For the successful removal of a fractured endodontic instrument beyond the apical foramen, the following are necessary: (i) knowledge of the cause of fracture and how to plan treatment; (ii) determining the precise location of the fractured segment using CT; and 3) skilful operation. KEY LEARNING POINTS • Fractured endodontic instruments might lie within the soft tissue. • Computerized tomography is an effective diagnostic aid for localizing the precise position of fractured instruments.

Abstract
The primary function of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system is to regulate the immune response. Because of its important role in the immune response and its high degree of polymorphism, the HLA system is associated with many diseases. We examined the polymorphisms of HLA-A, B and DRB1 alleles in 100 unrelated patients with lung carcinoma and in 438 unrelated normal controls of Han nationality from North China, using sequence-based typing and PCR with sequence-specific primers. We found that the frequencies of HLA-A*0201, A*2601, B*1518, B*3802, DRB1*0401, DRB1*0402, and DRB1*1201 were higher in the lung carcinoma group than in the normal control group. The P values were 0.035, 0.040, 0.001, 0.017, 0.014, 0.004, and 0.019, respectively, and the odds ratio values were 1.052, 3.513, 4.047, 3.054, 4.237, 19.397, and 2.128, respectively. The frequency of HLA-DRB1*1302 was lower in the lung carcinoma group than in the normal control group (P = 0.046, odds ratio = 0.168). We concluded that patients with lung cancer and healthy controls of Han nationality from North China differ in the frequencies of various HLA alleles.

Abstract
The current paper describes a modified treatment procedure for a traumatized mandibular left second molar resulting in a crown-root fracture and root perforation with the fracture line below the gingival attachment and alveolar bone crest. After the mobile crown-root fragment was extracted, the root perforation was obturated with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and the subgingival defect was directly repaired with polyacid-modified resin composites (Ionosite Baseline). A 24-month recall showed no evidence of periodontal inflammation and no adverse symptoms, and the treated tooth exhibited good healing and normal function.

Abstract
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade plays an important role in cell life. Herein we show that small interfering RNAs targeting MAPK1 can inhibit HeLa cell growth and induce apoptosis along with up-regulation of signal transducers and activator 1 and 2 (STAT1/2). However, across-talk between the ras-raf-ERK1/2 signalling cascade and the JAK-STAT pathway remain largely unknown. Using MEK inhibitor U0126 and JAK-2 inhibitor AG490, we analyzed the relationship between ERK1/2 and STAT1/2 in HeLa cells. U0126 inhibited HeLa cell growth, arrested the cell cycle at G1/G0, and induced cell apoptosis, and AG490 partially reversed the effects of U0126. U0126 induced up-regulation of ERK1/2 and down-regulation of phosphorylated ERK1/2, increased STAT1 and STAT2 expression in a dose-dependent manner, and activated STAT1/2 via their phosphorylation. AG490 markedly inhibited the phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2 and slightly increased that of ERK1/2 inhibited by U0126. We suggest that STAT1/2 is involved in the inhibition of cell growth induced by U0126 in HeLa cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of etanercept therapy on radiographic progression in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS Patients with AS who had previously participated in a 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of etanercept therapy were enrolled in a 72-week open-label extension. Radiographs of the cervical and lumbar spine from patients who received etanercept (25 mg twice weekly) for up to 96 weeks were compared with radiographs from patients in a large prevalence cohort (Outcome Assessments in Ankylosing Spondylitis International Study [OASIS]) who had not been treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNFalpha) agents. Radiographs obtained at 2 time points up to 96 weeks apart from patients in both study populations were digitized and read by 2 independent readers who were blinded with regard to patient group and sequence. The primary end point was the 96-week change in the modified Stoke AS Spine Score (mSASSS). RESULTS A total of 257 patients treated with etanercept were compared with 175 unselected patients from the OASIS study. There was no significant difference in the change in the mSASSS from baseline among patients who received etanercept (mean +/- SD 0.91 +/- 2.45) versus those from the OASIS group (0.95 +/- 3.18). CONCLUSION Unlike other inflammatory rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, structural progression in AS seems to be independent of TNF, despite the fact that TNF is responsible for the signs and symptoms due to inflammation in this disease.

Abstract
Microcystin (MC) problem made more and more care about in China, intercellular MC (Int-MC) and cellular MC (Cel-MC) were important contents to reflect the producing-MC ability by cyanobacteria and by lakes. To study the correlations between Int-MC, Cel-MC concentration and biological and environmental factors, eight cyanobacterial blooming lakes were studied in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Microcystin-RR (MC-RR) and Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) were the primary toxin variants in our data. From the linear correlations between MC and environmental factors, cellular-YR had significant correlation with most of chemical factors except total nitrogen (TN) and the ratio of total nitrogen and total phosphorus (TN/TP), most intracellular MC analogues had significant correlations with total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), ammonium (NH (4) (+) ), nitrite (NO (2) (-) ), TP, total dissolved phosphorus (TDP), Microcystis. From the canonal correspondence analysis, Int-MC concentrations were closely related with the chemical and biological factors, such as TP, total organic carbon (TOC), chlorophyll a (Chl a), Microcystis biomass, et al. While Cel-MC contents, especially Cel-RR and Cel-LR, were closely related with light environmental in the lakes such as water depth and transparence.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids are widely used in the treatment of human glomerular diseases, but their mode of action is poorly understood particularly in steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome, which is most common in childhood and is characterized by a lack of inflammation in the kidney. The podocyte is a key cell in the glomerulus in health and disease: until recently, human podocytes have been difficult to study in vitro. We have developed a conditionally immortalized human podocyte cell line transfected with a temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 transgene: when the transgene is inactivated in vitro, these cells adopt the phenotype of differentiated podocytes. We have used these cells to evaluate, using immunocytochemistry, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, and Western blotting, direct effects of the glucocorticoid dexamethasone at concentrations designed to mimic in vivo therapeutic corticosteroid levels. Dexamethasone upregulated expression of nephrin and tubulin-alpha, and downregulated vascular endothelial growth factor. Effects on cell cycle were complex with downregulation of cyclin kinase inhibitor p21 and augmentation of podocyte survival, without any effect on apoptosis. We report cytokine production by human podocytes, especially interleukin (IL)-6 and -8; IL-6 expression was suppressed by dexamethasone. These potent direct effects on podocytes illustrate a novel mode of action of glucocorticoids and suggest potential new therapeutic strategies for glomerular disease.

Abstract
Glomerular endothelial cells (GEnC) are specialized cells with important roles in physiological filtration and glomerular disease. Despite their unique features, GEnC have been little studied because of difficulty in maintaining them in cell culture. We have addressed this problem by generation of conditionally immortalized (ci) human GEnC using technology with which we have previously produced ci podocytes. Primary culture GEnC were transduced with temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large tumour antigen and telomerase using retroviral vectors. Cells were selected, cloned, and then characterized by light and electron microscopy (EM), response to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)alpha, expression of endothelial markers by focused gene array, immunofluorescence and Western blotting, and formation and behaviour of monolayers. CiGEnC proliferated at the permissive temperature (33 degrees C) and became growth arrested at the non-permissive temperature (37 degrees C). CiGEnC retained morphological features of early-passage primary culture GEnC up to at least p41, confirming successful immortalization. EM demonstrated fenestrations, increased in number by VEGF. mRNA analysis confirmed expression of the endothelial markers platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1, intercellular adhesion molecule 2, VEGF receptor 2, and von Willebrand factor, validated by immunofluorescence and Western blotting. CiGEnC also expressed Tie2, and TNFalpha upregulated E-selectin. CiGEnC formed monolayers with barrier properties responsive to cyclic adenosine 3',5' monophosphate (cAMP) and thrombin. CiGEnC retain the markers and behaviour of primary culture GEnC. They express fenestrations which are upregulated in response to VEGF. These cells are a unique resource for further study of GEnC and their roles in glomerular filtration, glomerular disease, and response to glomerular injury.

Abstract
Phage display was used to identify new components of the mammalian mitochondrial receptor complex using Tom20 as a binding partner. Two peptides were identified. One had partial identity (SMLTVMA) with a bacterial signal peptide from Toho-1, a periplasmic protein. The other had partial identity with a mitochondrial inner membrane glutamate carrier. The bacterial signal peptide could carry a protein into mitochondria both in vivo and in vitro. The first six residues of the sequence, SMLTVM, were necessary for import but the two adjacent arginine residues in the 30-amino-acid leader were not critical for import. The signal peptides of Escherichia coli beta-lactamase and Bacillsus subtilis lipase could not carry proteins into mitochondria. Presumably, the Toho-1 leader can adopt a structure compatible for recognition by the import apparatus.

Abstract
T-lymphocytes play an important role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, we evaluated the hypothesis that common T-cell receptor (TCR) structural features may exist among infiltrating T cells of different RA patients, if the TCR repertoire is shaped by interaction with common self or microbial antigens in the context of susceptible HLA genes in RA. Synovial lesion tissue (ST), synovial fluid (SF) and blood specimens from RA patients and controls were analyzed for TCR V gene repertoire by real-time PCR. There was highly skewed BV14 and BV16 usage in synovial T cells of RA as opposed to those of controls, which was accompanied with a trend for correlation between skewed BV16 and DRB1(*)0405. Immunoscope analysis of the V-D-J region of ST-derived T cells demonstrated oligoclonal and polyclonal expansion of BV14(+) and BV16(+) T cells. Detailed characterization using specific BV and BJ primers further revealed common clonotypes combining the same BV14/BV16, BJ and CDR3 length. DNA cloning and sequence analysis of the clonotypes confirmed identical CDR3 sequences and common CDR3 sequence motifs among different RA patients. The findings are important in the understanding of BV gene skewing and CDR3 structural characteristics among synovial infiltrating T cells of RA.

Abstract
The Mouse Genome Database (MGD) forms the core of the Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) system (http://www.informatics.jax.org), a model organism database resource for the laboratory mouse. MGD provides essential integration of experimental knowledge for the mouse system with information annotated from both literature and online sources. MGD curates and presents consensus and experimental data representations of genotype (sequence) through phenotype information, including highly detailed reports about genes and gene products. Primary foci of integration are through representations of relationships among genes, sequences and phenotypes. MGD collaborates with other bioinformatics groups to curate a definitive set of information about the laboratory mouse and to build and implement the data and semantic standards that are essential for comparative genome analysis. Recent improvements in MGD discussed here include the enhancement of phenotype resources, the re-development of the International Mouse Strain Resource, IMSR, the update of mammalian orthology datasets and the electronic publication of classic books in mouse genetics.

Abstract
The Gene Ontology (GO) project (http://www. geneontology.org/) provides structured, controlled vocabularies and classifications that cover several domains of molecular and cellular biology and are freely available for community use in the annotation of genes, gene products and sequences. Many model organism databases and genome annotation groups use the GO and contribute their annotation sets to the GO resource. The GO database integrates the vocabularies and contributed annotations and provides full access to this information in several formats. Members of the GO Consortium continually work collectively, involving outside experts as needed, to expand and update the GO vocabularies. The GO Web resource also provides access to extensive documentation about the GO project and links to applications that use GO data for functional analyses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the mechanism of asthma remission. The plasma soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), airway responsiveness (PC20) and other relative factors were measured in asthmatics with remission at least 3 years and compared with healthy controls. METHODS Group I (asthmatics with remission at puberty): 20 cases including 11 males and 9 females, mean age of 21 years. All of the patients were definitely diagnosed as asthmatics in childhood and got natural remission for at least 3 years(with median duration of 6 years). Group II (normal controls): 21 healthy college students including 10 males and 11 females, mean age of 22.5 years, had no history of asthma or other allergic diseases. The intravenous blood was taken from all subjects with EDTA as anticoagulant for study. The airway responsiveness were measured by methacholine bronchial provocation test(PC20). The sVCAM-1 was measured with ELISA, according to the manual of the kit. Methacholine was atomized by Wright atomizer [Devilbiss AP-50, USA, driven by air compressor, with a constant atomizing volume of (0.13 +/- 0.02) ml/min, diameter of atomizes particles 1.3-3.0 microns]. Its concentration was redoubled from 0.03 to 128 g/L until a certain dose as PC20 value triggering forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) decreased by 20% reached. The eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) levels were measured with enzyme-linked immuno-CAP system. Blood eosinophils(> 330/mm3 as being above normal) and basophils (> 33/mm3 as abnormally increased) were counted using Acian blue dyeing. RESULTS (1) The mean value of sVCAM-1 of group I (63.7 +/- 31.7) micrograms/L was significantly higher than that of group II (41.9 +/- 11.7) micrograms/L. (2) The percentage of the cases with increased eosinophils in group I was 15.0% (3/20), had no significant difference compared with that in group II (4.8%, 1/21). The percentage of the cases with increased basophils of group I was 45.0%(9/20), significantly higher than that of group II, 4.8%(1/21), P < 0.01. (3) The blood ECP level of group I was (2.7 +/- 1.3) micrograms/L, simillar to that of group II (2.18 +/- 0.5) micrograms/L. (4) The PC20 value of group I (M = 2.6 g/L) was significantly lower than that of group II (M = 128 g/L).
