Ferroptosis has been shown to be a non-self apoptotic, iron ion-catalysed, controlled cell death process involving cellular lipid oxides. The gnes that may affect ferroptosis may be candidate biomarkers. But the value and predictive value of ferroptosis-related genes in colorectal adenocarcinoma (COAD) are not fully understood. Therefore, we analyzed the expression status in COAD and healthy colon tissue using GEO, GEPIA and HPA databases. The role of predictive and genetic alterations of ferroptosis-related genes were investigated using cBioPortal, HPA, PrognoScan, STRING, GeneMANIA and LinkedOmics databases. Then, immunohistochemistry staining was performed to detect the both epithelial and stromal expression of FTL in COAD. Using FerrDb and GEO databases, the transcript levels of XBP1, TSC22D3 and YWHAE were identified to correlate with advanced tumor stage, FTL, DUSP1, TSC22D3 and GDF15 were related to poor prognosis of COAD. As immunohistochemistry staining shown that FTL was significantly up-regulated in COAD tissues. Cox survival analysis and KM survival analysis indicated that high epithelial FTL levels is associated with a poor prognosis in COAD.

Objective: Purpose of this work was to discuss effects and mechanisms of Sema 4C in colon cancer development. Results: Sema4C were significantly upregulated in cancer tissues (P <0.001). Following transfection, the expression levels of Sema4C mRNA were significantly downregulated in the si-Sema4C groups compared with those in the si-negative control groups of both HT-29 and SW620 cells (both P <0.001). The apoptotic rate was significantly increased, while the invasive and wound healing rates were significantly suppressed in the si-Sema4C groups of HT-29 and SW620 cells (both P < 0.001). The results of the RT-qPCR and western blotting analyses revealed that PI3K, AKT, MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA and protein expression levels, respectively, were significantly downregulated, while caspase-3 mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly upregulated in the si-Sema4C groups of HT-29 and SW620 cells. Conclusion: The findings of the present study demonstrated that the knockdown of Sema4C expression suppressed CRC cell biological activities by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Therefore, Sema4C may act as an oncogene in CRC.

Objective: To discuss sealing properties between BeeFill 2in1 warm vertical compaction technique and cold lateral compaction technique. Methods: Group1 BeeFill 2in1, Group 2: cold lateral compaction. The leakage specimens were measured using the transverse root sectioning, after 1 month. Results: The statistical analysis showed that the frequency of section with void, the percentage of void area and the percentage of sections at 1 mm–13 mm levels, the BeeFill 2in1 group were lower than those of the cold lateral compaction group. Conclusion: BeeFill 2in1 warm vertical compaction technique has its advantage in dealing with the long oval canal.

Purpose: Previous studies have demonstrated the osteogenic effects of icariside II (ICSII), which is a metabolic product of the prenylated active flavonol icariin (ICA) from the roots of Epimedium. However, the in vivo osteogenic effects of ICSII remain unclear. Thus, in this study, we evaluated the osteogenic effects of ICSII in vivo. Methods: Complexes of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) with or without ICSII were subcutaneously implanted into nude mice (ectopic osteogenesis test) and into tooth sockets in beagles after maxillary canine tooth extraction (in situ osteogenesis test). The samples were harvested at different time points, and the in vivo osteogenic effect of the ICSII on the BMSCs was evaluated by histology, microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) and the bone mineralization apposition rate (MAR). Results: The proliferation and viability of BMSCs in the ICSII-loaded CPC scaffold were significantly increased (P < 0.01). The new bone area and MAR in the CPC+BMSC+ICSII group were greater than those in the CPC+BMSC group (P <
