The treatment with ATV at different doses elevated NO level and RHI and declined ET-1 content. Gastrointestinal reaction, muscular pain, and increased aminopherase were observed after treatment with the ATV at different doses with more obvious symptoms detected accompanied by the increase of the dose. The RHI was in negative correlation with the ET-1 and HS-CRP while in positive correlation with NO. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that ATV can significantly improve the vascular endothelial function in LA patients with a dose-dependent effect. © 2020 The Authors. Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.DNA damage repair is a key factor in the maintenance of cell genome stability, plays an important role in the regulation of tumour evolution, and can affect the prognosis of cancer patients. This study aimed to detect the protein expression of the DNA damage repair protein P53 and its upstream and downstream regulators, CHK1, GADD45A, and MDM2, in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), in order to analyse the association between the expression of these proteins and overall survival, and to assess their prognostic implications for OSCC patients. The expression of the above proteins was detected by immunohistochemistry in 80 human OSCC tissue samples and in non-cancerous tissue samples. Compared to that in the non-cancerous tissue, the expression of CHK1, GADD45A, and MDM2 in OSCC tissue was significantly increased. The protein expression of the tumour suppressor gene P53 was also increased. Patients with high CHK1 and MDM2 expression levels had a reduced survival time and a poor prognosis, whereas patients with high GADD45A expression levels had a good prognosis. Our results indicate that high CHK1 expression is an independent risk factor for poor OSCC prognosis, and that CHK1 may be a potential target for OSCC clinical treatment. © 2020 Eur J Oral Sci.The aim of this study was to evaluate the hydrophilicity, surface free energy, and proliferation and viability of human osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells on sandblasted and acid-etched titanium surfaces after air-abrasion with 45S5 bioactive glass, zinc-containing bioactive glass, or inert glass. Sandblasted and acid-etched titanium discs were subjected to air-abrasion with 45S5 bioactive glass, experimental bioactive glass (Zn4), or inert glass. Water contact angles and surface free energy were evaluated. The surfaces were studied with preosteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Air-abrasion with either type of glass significantly enhanced the hydrophilicity and surface free energy of the sandblasted and acid-etched titanium discs. The MC3T3-E1 cell number was higher for substrates air-abraded with Zn4 bioactive glass and similar to that observed on borosilicate coverslips (controls). Confocal laser scanning microscopy images showed that MC3T3-E1 cells did not spread as extensively on the sandblasted and acid-etched and bioactive glass-abraded surfaces as they did on control surfaces. However, for 45S5- and Zn4-treated samples, the cells spread most at the 24 h time point and changed their morphology to more spindle-like when cultured further. Air-abrasion with bioactive glass and inert glass was shown to have a significant effect on the wettability and surface free energy of the surfaces under investigation. Osteoblast cell proliferation on sandblasted and acid-etched titanium discs was enhanced by air-abrasion with 45S5 bioactive glass and experimental Zn4 bioactive glass compared with air-abrasion with inert glass or no air-abrasion. © 2020 Eur J Oral Sci.On March 28, 2019, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use adopted a positive opinion recommending the marketing authorization for the medicinal product plerixafor.
