Partial hydatidiform mole pregnancy ended in full-term delivery of a normal infant: a case presentation.

Background: Twin pregnancy with a partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) and a coexistent live fetus is extremely rare. The fetus usually has a normal karyotype. The surviving rate of the fetus till lung maturity is only about 25-40%.

Erratum: Effect of local application of biphosphonates on improving peri-implant osseointegration in type-2 diabetic osteoporosis.

Effect of local application of biphosphonates on improving peri-implant osseointegration in type-2 diabetic osteoporosis.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a leading cause of osteoporosis, remains a contraindication for bone implant therapy. Although associated with side effects when systemically administered, biphosphonates (BPs) play a positive role in diabetic osteoporosis treatment. We hypothesized that local BP therapy would prevent decayed implant osseointegration under T2DM conditions.

[Effects of salinomycin on proliferative, migratory and invasive property of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells in vitro].

Purpose: To investigate the effects of salinomycin on proliferative, migratory and invasive properties of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells, and to explore its possible mechanism.

Methods: CCK8 assay was used to detect the effect of salicamycin and cisplatin on proliferative abilities of CAL-27 cells and EA.hy926 cells.

Intraoperative frozen pathological diagnosis of cystic tumor of the atrioventricular node: a case report and review of the literature.

Cystic tumor of the atrioventricular node is an extremely rare primary tumor of the heart. Here we report a case of a 41-year-old female who presented with dizzy and palpitations. Electrocardiography revealed third-degree atrioventricular block.

Dicer-dependent pathway contribute to the osteogenesis mediated by regulation of Runx2.

Osteogenesis is mediated by sophisticated interactions of various molecular functions and biological processes, including post-transcriptional regulation. A range of miRNAs have been reported to regulate bone homeostasis and osteoblasts differentiation either positively or negatively through multiple signaling pathways. RNase III endonuclease Dicer is the key enzyme required for the biogenesis of miRNAs and small interfering RNAs.

[Clinical significance of calcitonin gene-related peptide level before and after treatment in patients with chronic periodontitis].

Purpose: To explore the clinical significance of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels in patients with chronic periodontitis before and after treatment, and to detect the calcitonin gene-related peptide content in human venous blood.

Methods: Thirty healthy controls and thirty patients with mild, moderate, severe periodontitis were enrolled from August 2014 to June 2015.CGRP level in the patients' peripheral blood was detected by ELISA.

[Effect of different doses of radiation on human salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma cells].

Purpose: To explore the effect of different doses of radiation on human salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma cells (SACC-83, SACC-LM).

Methods: Different doses of radiation (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 Gy) were applied to SACC-83, SACC-LM cells and the cells were continued to culture for 48 h. CCK-8 test, flow cytometry(FCM) and cell scratch experiment were used to observe cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell migration.

Genetic association between PIK3CA gene and oral squamous cell carcinoma: a case control study conducted in Chongqing, China.

PIK3CA has been shown to be involved in many malignant tumors. This study was designed to determine the expression level of PIK3CA in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and the association of gene polymorphisms of PIK3CA with OSCC in Chinese population. The expression of PIK3CA was detected by real-time PCR in tumor and pericarcinomatous tissues of 10 OSCC patients.

Immune tolerance of mice allogenic tooth transplantation induced by immature dendritic cells.

As a common procedure in dentistry for replacing a missing tooth, allogenic tooth transplantation has encountered many difficulties in the clinical application because of immunological rejection. It is hypothesized that immature dendritic cell injection might be a potential alternative method to avoid or alleviate immunological rejection in allogenic tooth transplantation. To test this hypothesis, a mouse model of allogenic and autogeneic tooth transplantation was to established test the immunosuppressive effect of immature dendritic cells (imDCs) derived from donor bone marrows on transplant rejection in allogenic tooth transplantation.
