RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the distribution, survival conditions, and medical support of newly diagnosed occupational pneumoconiosis (hereinafter referred to as pneumoconiosis) patients in Zhangdian District, Zibo City. Methods A total of 1 189 newly diagnosed pneumoconiosis patients in Zhangdian District from 1956 to 2019 were selected as the study subjects using retrospective method. Data of their age of onset, years of occupational exposure, category of working industry, type of pneumoconiosis, and status of medical support was collected and analyzed. Results The median and the 25th-75th percentiles ［M (P25, P75)］ of the age of onset were 51.8 (45.5, 56.1) years, and the mortality was 37.0%. The majority of pneumoconiosis cases were silicosis (45.2%) and coal workers' pneumoconiosis (39.8%). The highest prevalence of pneumoconiosis was in the coal mining and washing industry (42.4%), followed by manufacturing (33.4%). Pneumoconiosis patients in stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ, and Ⅲ accounted for 89.1%, 8.7%, and 2.2%, respectively. The M (P25, P75) of the length of work exposed to dust were 24.1 (16.5, 29.9) years.The higher stage of pneumoconiosis the shorter of the length of work exposed to dust among these pneumoconiosis patients(all P<0.05). The overall survival rate, the 5-year survival rate and the 10-year survival rate of these pneumoconiosis patients were 63.0%, 92.3% and 85.9%, respectively. Among the 749 surviving cases, 60.8% were aged 60.0 to <80.0 years. In terms of social security, 100.0% surviving cases enjoyed basic medical insurance, meanwhile, 96.1% and 81.8% patients were covered by major medical insurances and occupational injury insurances, respectively. The M (P25, P75) of age at death were 73.1 (64.0, 77.1) years. The main causes of death were respiratory diseases (59.3%) and malignant tumors (20.4%). Conclusion The prevalent types of pneumoconiosis in Zhangdian District, Zibo City, are coal workers' pneumoconiosis and silicosis. Medical support and assistance are relatively limited. The pneumoconiosis prevention and control focus should be on silicosis and coal workers' pneumoconiosis, particularly in the manufacturing industry.

RESUMEN
Objective In the present study, we investigated the effects of advanced oxidation protein products(AOPP) on reactive oxygen species(ROS) production in murine osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells by NADPH oxidase enzymes pathway. Methods Experiments were divided into three groups, including control group, rats albumin(RSA) group, and AOPP group. Different concentrations of AOPP were added to the osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells culture medium. The production of ROS in MC3T3-E1 cells was measured by the fluorescence intensity of intracellular fluoroprobe ( DCFD ) . In order to verify the effect of enzyme of the production of ROS, the specific inhibitors of corresponding enzymes were added in the MC3T3-E1 cells which were cultured in the medium with AOPP. Finally, western blot and immunofluorescence were used to observe the changes of NADPH oxidase enzymes subunits. Results Different concentrations of AOPP (50,100,200μg/ml) induced MC3T3-E1 cells to produce different amount of ROS. The higher concentrations of AOPP were added, the more ROS were produced. Furthermore,200μg/ml AOPP induced the maximum amount of ROS production(P<0. 05). Meanwhile, AOPP induced MC3T3-E1 cells to produce different amount of ROS with a time-dependent manner. The peak amount of ROS production in MC3T3-E1 cells was observed in 3h when AOPP were added (P<0. 05). In addition, when specific inhibitors of corresponding enzymes were added in the MC3T3-E1 cells, the production of ROS were significantly suppressed by C-SOD, DPI, and apocynin(P<0. 05). On the other hand, AOPP can up-regulate the expression of Nox4 protein of the MC3T3-E1 cells, which is one of the subunits of NADPH oxidase enzymes. Meanwhile, AOPP can also induce the membrane migration of p47phox subunit. Conclusion AOPP induces osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells to produce ROS by NADPH oxidase enzymes pathway, and which may be one of the pathogenesis of AOPP involved in osteoporosis.

RESUMEN
Objective To explore the expressions ofmiR-124* and laminin-8 in different grades of human gliomas,and analyze the potential regulatory relationship between them.Methods Thirty human glioma specimens of different stages and two healthy brain tissues,collected in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2012,were used in our study; Western blotting was performed to detect the laminin-8 and miR-124* protein expressions; plasmid vectors carried psiCHECKTM-2-wild-type (WT) laminin β1 chain 3 'untranslated region (3'UTR) and psiCHECKTM-2-mutant (MUT) laminin β1 chain 3'UTR were established,and they were,respectively,co-transfected with the miR-124* mimics,negative control ofmiRNA mimics,miR-124* inhibitors,negative control ofmiRNA inhibitors into the U87 cells;besides,cotransfection with psiCHECKTM-2 into U87 cells was used as blank control group; the fluorescence intensity of each group was determined by dual-luciferase assay 48 h after the cotransfection.Dual-luciferase assay was developed to verify the regulatory effects ofmiR-124* on laminin-8.The nu/nu nude mice were given subcutaneous injection of U87 cells to establish giloma animal models; the expression of β1 chain-containing laminin-8 protein was detected in gliomas by Western blotting; the expression of vascular endothelial cell marker CD31 was observed by immunohistochemical staining.Results Western blotting showed high expressions of laminin-8 protein in high-grade gliomas (WHO grade Ⅲ/ⅣV),but low expressions in low-grade gliomas (WHO grade Ⅰ/Ⅱ); real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR showed that the expression of miR-124* in high-grade gliomas was significantly lower than that in low-grade gliomas.Dual-luciferase assay confirmed that fluorescence intensity of U87 cells carried psiCHECKTM-2-WT laminin β1 chain 3'UTR and miR-124* mimics (2.13±0.25) was significantly weaker than that of cells carried psiCHECKTM-2-WT laminin β1 chain 3'UTR and negative control of miRNA mimics (2.71±0.08,P＜0.05); that of those carried psiCHECKTM-2-MUT laminin β1 chain 3'UTR and miR-124* inhibitors (3.18 ±0.22) was significantly stronger than those carried,psiCHECKTM-2-MUT laminin β1 chain 3'UTR and negative control of miRNA inhibitors (2.70±0.17,P＜0.05).The animal model results indicated the laminin-8 and CD31 expressions in miR-124* treatment group were obviously lower than those in control group.Conclusion MiR-124*,which can affect the malignant degrees of human gliomas through playing its negative regulation role in laminin-8 expression,maybe a target gene for the diagnosis and therapy of gliomas.
RESUMEN
A total of 62 disk-shaped specimens in the size of 30 mm (diameter) ×2 mm (layer thickness) were made with auto-polymerized acrylic resin (2 specimens for infrared spectrum comparison and 60 specimens for tests of water sorption and solubility). Duration of Ar plasma application was 2 minutes and plasma power applied was 60 W. Storage intervals were 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months, separately. A control group and a corresponding experimental group were set for each storage interval, with 6 specimens per group. All specimens were weighted 3 times, i.e., initial weight; weigh after absorption of distilled water, and final weight after desiccation. Percentages of water absorption and solubility of auto-polymefized acrylic resin were calculated. Results revealed that after Ar plasma treatment, C-H structure of auto-polymerized acrylic resin was reduced; following 1-month storage interval, water absorption percentage was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group; following 1-day, 1-week, and 1-month storage interval, the experimental group exhibited significantly lower solubility of auto-polymerized acrylic resin, compared to the control group (P<0.05). These results indicated that within 1-month storage, Ar plasma treatment can decrease water sorption and solubility of auto-polymerized acrylic resin.
