Methods: 80 SPF-cleaned mice were randomly divided into 4 groups, 20 each, model group, tinidazole group and recombinant human osteoprotegerin group were modeled by Kimura et al., and tinidazole group received tinidazole. After intragastric administration, the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group was injected with recombinant human osteoprotegerin in the periodontal pocket according to the tinidazole group. The periodontal changes of the four groups of mice were observed and recorded, and the gingival rating was performed. Epithelial tissue morphology was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Serum levels of IL-4, IL-6, RANKL and MCP-1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results:After the intervention, the model group developed severe inflammatory reactions, including redness, hemorrhage, and deep periodontal pockets. The teeth were significantly loosened. The mice in the tinidazole group and the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group recovered substantially, and the gingival rating of the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group was better than that. The tinidazole group and the model group (P<0.05). The results of HE staining showed that the model group had edema, vasodilation and a large amount of inflammatory infiltration. The epithelial structure of the mice in the tinidazole group and the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group was intact and arranged closely and orderly. After intervention, the IL-4 in the tinidazole group and the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group was significantly higher than the model group and IL-6 was significantly lower than the model group (P<0.05), and the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group IL-4 was significantly higher after the intervention. IL-6 was significantly lower in the tinidazole group than in the tinidazole group (P<0.05). After the intervention, the tinidazole group and the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group were significantly reduced, and the recombinant human osteoprotegerin group RAKNL and MCP-1 were significantly lower than the model group (P>0.05). Conclusion: Recombinant human osteoprotegerin combined with tinidazole has a better therapeutic effect on gums and teeth in mice with periodontitis, and can lower the levels of RAKNL and MCP-1 in serum, inhibit bone resorption and protect teeth.展开更多

METHODS: Hepatic fibrosis was successfully induced in 150 and 196 rats by subcutaneous injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and intraperitoneal injection of dimethylnitrosamine (DMN), respectively. Each of the two model groups was divided into: (1) fibrotic model group; (2) colchicine treatment group (0.1 mg/kg/day, gastrogavage for 8 weeks); (3) high-dose IFN-gamma group (15 MU/kg per day, i.m. for 8 weeks); (4) medium-dose IFN-gamma group (5 MU/kg daily, i.m. for 8 weeks); and (5) Y low-dose IFN-gamma group (1.67 MU/kg daily, i.m. for 8 weeks). Another group of 10 rats without any treatment was used as normal controls. At the end of the experiment, semi-quantitative histopathological scores of inflammation and fibrosis, liver alpha smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) expression level, liver hydroxyl proline content and serum hyaluronic acid levels were compared. And 47 medium chronic hepatitis B viral fibrosis patients were studied. They were given IFN-gamma treatment, 100 MU/day i.m. for the first three months and 100 MU qod i.m. for the next six months. Semi-quantitative pathological scores of inflammation and fibrosis and serum hepatic fibrosis indices were compared within the 9 months. RESULTS: In animal experiment, the pathological fibrosis scores and liver hydroxyl proline content were found to be significantly lower in rats treated with different doses of IFN-gamma as compared with rats in fibrotic model group induced by either CCl4 or DMN, in a dose-dependent manner. For CCl4-induced model, pathological fibrosis scores in high, medium and low doses IFN-gamma groups were 5.10 +/- 2.88, 7.70 +/- 3.53 and 8.00 +/- 3.30, respectively, but the score was 14.60 +/- 7.82 in fibrotic model group. Hydroxyl proline contents were 2.83 +/- 1.18, 3.59 +/- 1.22 and 4.80 +/- 1.62, in the three IFN-gamma groups, and 10.01 +/- 3.23 in fibrotic model group. The difference was statistically significant (P【0.01). Similar results were found in DMN-induced model. Pathological fibrosis scores were 6.30 +/- 0.48, 8.10 +/- 2.72 and 8.30 +/- 2.58, in high, medium and low doses IFN-gamma groups, and 12.60 +/- 3.57 in fibrotic model group. Hydroxyl proline contents were 2.72 +/- 0.58, 3.14 +/- 0.71 and 3.62 +/- 1.02, in the three IFN-gamma groups, and 12.79 +/- 1.54 in fibrotic model group. The difference was statistically significant (P【0.01).Serum hepatic fibrosis indices decreased significantly in the 47 patients after IFN-gamma treatment (HA: 433.38 +/- 373.00 vs 281.57 +/- 220.48; LN: 161.22 +/- 41.02 vs 146 +/- 35 +/- 44. 67; PC III: 192.59 +/- 89.95 vs 156.98 +/- 49.22; C-I: 156.30 +/- 44.01 vs 139.14 +/- 34.47) and the differences between the four indices were significant (P 【0.05). Thirty-three patients received two liver biopsies, one before and one after IFN-gamma treatment. In thirty of 33 patients IFN-gamma had better effects according to semi-quantitative pathological scores (8.40 +/- 5.83 vs 5.30 +/- 4.05, P【0.05). CONCLUSION: All the three doses of IFN-gamma are effective in treating rat liver fibrosis induced by either CCl4 or DMN, the higher the dose, the better the effect. And IFN-gamma is effective for patients with moderate chronic hepatitis B viral fibrosis.展开更多

Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with CINⅢ and high-risk HPV positive and underwent conization in the 3201 Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University between June 2014 and February 2017 were selected and randomly divided into the observation group who received preoperative anti-HPV bioprotein dressing combined with interferon α-2b therapy and the control group who received no special treatment. CIN lesion was collected to determine the expression of pro-proliferation molecules, pro-apoptosis molecules and epithelial-mesenchymal transition molecules. Results: Rsf1, Piwil2, TOPK, p38MAPK, ERK, Snail, Twist, N-cadherin and Vimentin mRNA expression in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia lesions of observation group were greatly lower than those of control group whereas LRIG3, SARI, IEX-1, FHIT and E-cadherin mRNA expression were greatly higher than those of control group. Conclusion: Anti-HPV bioprotein dressing combined with interferon α-2b therapy can inhibit the proliferation and invasive growth of tumor cells in patients with CINⅢ complicated by high-risk HPV positive.展开更多
