[Methods] The extraction process of Coicis Semen Damp-clearing Mixture was optimized by L 9(3 4) orthogonal design with the content of total flavonoids and the dry yield rate as the evaluation indicators, and the amount of water, extraction time and extraction times as the factors, to determine the formation process of Coicis Semen Damp-clearing Mixture. In addition, the quality of the mixture was studied by thin layer chromatography (TLC). [Results] The optimal extraction process of Coicis Semen Damp-clearing Mixture was as follows: decocting twice, one hour each time, adding 8 times of water in the first time and 6 times of water in the second time, standing the extract in a cool place, adding 0.1% steviosin to facilitate the formation of the mixture;Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma and Dendrophenol in the mixture were well separated by TLC with good reproducibility and specificity. [Conclusions] The preparation process and quality control indicators determined by the experiment are reasonable and feasible. It can provide a reference for the pilot production and quality standards of Coicis Semen Damp-clearing Mixture.展开更多

The dynamic oral microbiota cooperates with the host to reflect the information and status of immunity and metabolism through two-way communication along the oral cavity and the systemic organs. The oral cavity is one of the most important interaction windows between the human body and the environment.The microenvironment at different sites in the oral cavity has different microbial compositions and is regulated by complex signaling,hosts, and external environmental factors. These processes may affect or reflect human health because certain health states seem to be related to the composition of oral bacteria, and the destruction of the microbial community is related to systemic diseases. In this review, we discussed emerging and exciting evidence of complex and important connections between the oral microbes and multiple human systemic diseases, and the possible contribution of the oral microorganisms to systemic diseases. This review aims to enhance the interest to oral microbes on the whole human body, and also improve clinician’s understanding of the role of oral microbes in systemic diseases. Microbial research in dentistry potentially enhances our knowledge of the pathogenic mechanisms of oral diseases,and at the same time, continuous advances in this frontier field may lead to a tangible impact on human health.展开更多

The 2019-nCoV was different from SARS-Co V,but shared the same host receptor the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2). The natural host of 2019-nCoV may be the bat Rhinolophus affinis as 2019-nCoV showed 96.2% of whole-genome identity to Bat Co V Ra TG13. The person-to-person transmission routes of 2019-nCoV included direct transmission, such as cough, sneeze, droplet inhalation transmission, and contact transmission, such as the contact with oral, nasal, and eye mucous membranes. 2019-nCoV can also be transmitted through the saliva, and the fecal–oral routes may also be a potential person-to-person transmission route. The participants in dental practice expose to tremendous risk of 2019-nCoV infection due to the face-to-face communication and the exposure to saliva, blood, and other body fluids, and the handling of sharp instruments. Dental professionals play great roles in preventing the transmission of2019-nCoV. Here we recommend the infection control measures during dental practice to block the person-to-person transmission routes in dental clinics and hospitals.展开更多

However, research on the human oral microbiota has not made as much progress as research on the gut microbiota. Currently, the causal relationship between the oral microbiota and oral diseases remains unclear, and little is known about the link between the oral microbiota and human systemic diseases. To further understand the contribution of the oral microbiota in oral diseases and systemic diseases, a Human Oral Microbiome Database（HOMD） was established in the US. The HOMD includes 619 taxa in 13 phyla, and most of the microorganisms are from American populations. Due to individual differences in the microbiome, the HOMD does not reflect the Chinese oral microbial status. Herein, we established a new oral microbiome database—the Oral Microbiome Bank of China（OMBC,http：//www.sklod.org/ombc）. Currently, the OMBC includes information on 289 bacterial strains and 720 clinical samples from the Chinese population, along with lab and clinical information. The OMBC is the first curated description of a Chinese-associated microbiome; it provides tools for use in investigating the role of the oral microbiome in health and diseases, and will give the community abundant data and strain information for future oral microbial studies.展开更多

Antibacterial quaternary ammonium compounds （QAs） have been developed to preveFnt or treat dental caries. However, there is no report on the tolerance of S. mutans to QAs. In this study, we investigated the development of S. mutans persistence induced by a novel dental caries defensive agent, dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate （DMADDM）, for the first time. Typical biphasic killing kinetics for persisters were observed in both S. mutans planktonic and biofilm cultures challenged by DMADDM at concentrations of 20 and 200 pg.mL- z respectively. The persisters tolerated six other antibiotics with different antibacterial mechanisms, while only daptomycin and vancomycin could slightly reduce the persister numbers in planktonic cultures. The distribution of persisters in DMADDM-treated biofilms was similar to that in the untreated control, except that the total biomass and biofilm height were significantly reduced. A higher exopolysaccharides （EPS）：bacteria ratio was observed in DMADDM-treated biofilms. Persisters in biofilms significantly upregulated gtf gene expression, indicating an increase in the bacteria＇s ability to produce EPS and an elevated capability of cariogenic virulence. Carbon source metabolism was significantly reduced, as related metabolic genes were all downregulated in persisters. Concentrations of 0.1 mM, 1 mM and 10 mM of extra glucose significantly reduced the number of persisters both in planktonic and biofilm conditions. The formation of non- inheritable and multidrug tolerant persisters induced by DMADDM suggested that drug tolerance and new persistent eradication strategies should be considered for oral antibacterial agents.展开更多

The experimental result indicated that the stacking fault probability decreases with increasing carbon addition, the SFE increases linearly when the carbon content in mass percent is between 0.23 M and 1.41%. The thermody namic calculation results showed that the SFE varied from 22.40 to 29.64 mJ ~ m 2 when the carbon content in mass percent changes from 0.23 % to 1.41%. The XRD analysis revealed that all steels were fully austenitic before and after deformation, which suggested that TWIP effect is the predominant mechanism during the tensile deformation process of Fe-20Mn-3Cu-XC steels.展开更多
