    Abstract609)      PDF (802KB)(1927)      
    Pulp vitality is the basis of the diagnosis and treatment of dental pulp disease. Cold pulp test, hot pulp test, and electric pulp test are widely applied to clinical diagnosis, and they are collectively known as pulp sensitivity test. But at present, stomatologists find that there are many deficiencies in sensitivity test, and in some cases such as young permanent teeth show high misdiagnosis rate. In order to improve the diagnostic accuracy, the dental pulp blood flow test is proposed, greatly reducing the rate of misdiagnosis. However, it is not widely used in clinic. In addition, magnetic resonance imaging and quantitative test of biomarkers are also considered to judge the pulp vitality in theoretical aspect. This paper briefly introduces several methods to judge the pulp vitality and the advantages and disadvantages of them.

    Advancements in Application of Copper Death in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Oral Cancer
    WANG Chenchen, XU Yu
    Journal of Oral Science Research    2023, 39 (9): 771-774.   DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2023.09.002
    Abstract254)      PDF (812KB)(1110)      
    Oral cancer is the sixth most frequently occurring type of cancer in the world, whose incidence is on the rise in China. How to alleviate patients'pain and improve their prognosis through effective treatment is an issue worthy of our research and discussion. Recent research has identified a copper-dependent form of cell death known as 'cuprotosis'. Copper binds directly to the lipid acylated fraction involved in mitochondrial respiration, contributing to the aggregation of lipidated proteins and the reduction of iron-sulphur cluster proteins, resulting in a proteotoxic response that leads to cell death. Because abnormalities of copper homeostasis in the body can affect the growth of tumour cells, the efficacy of copper homeostasis in the diagnosis and treatment of malignancies has attracted much attention in recent years. This paper briefly describes three copper-mediated anti-tumour mechanisms and a variety of novel copper complexes involved in solving clinical problems in oral malignancies. We hope that this will provide a reference for the clinical management of oral cancer.

    WANG Dan, MENG Weiyan
    Journal of Oral Science Research    2022, 38 (3): 216-219.   DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2022.03.003
    Abstract617)      PDF (826KB)(1196)      
    Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of tooth-supporting tissues. It could give a rise to a progressive loss of attachment by destructing the connective tissue and alveolar bone, and may eventually lead to tooth loss. Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is an important pathogen of chronic periodontitis, which expresses several virulence factors, including lipopolysaccharide, fimbriae, hemagglutinins, and cysteine proteinases. Among them, gingipains (belonging to cysteine proteinases) account for most (85%) of the general proteolytic activity caused by P. gingivalis, and have been considered as the essential virulence factor. This review discusses the gingipains's classification, secretion, pathogenic effects, and inhibitors.

    Objective: To analyze the stress distribution characteristics of different materials custom post-and-core at different angles for maxillary central incisor by three-dimensional finite element analysis. Methods: The models with different inclination angles of post-and-core-and-crown in the maxillary central incisor were created. Three post-and-core materials were used in the model: cast gold-palladium alloy, glass fiber reinforced resin, and carbon fiber reinforced polyether ether ketone (CFR-PEEK). They were finally restored with an all-ceramic crown. The equivalent stresses in the post-and-core and dentin of the different models were analyzed under centric occlusion. Results: At the same angle, the highest stresses in the cast gold-palladium post-and-core correspond to the lowest stresses in the dentin. The CFR-PEEK post-and-core exhibited the lowest equivalent stress, corresponding to the highest stress in dentin. The stress of post-and-core and dentin decreases with increasing buccal angle for the same material. Conclusion: The angle of the post-and-core had no significant effect on restoration and dentin resistance under the same loading direction. The post-and-core with a lower elastic modulus is recommended when the dentin ferrule is intact.

    Journal of Oral Science Research    2022, 38 (2): 108-112.   DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2022.02.003
    Abstract346)      PDF (1381KB)(844)      
    Chronic periodontitis and cardiovascular disease are two common chronic inflammatory diseases in today's society, which are affected by a variety of risk factors. Epidemiological investigations found that chronic periodontitis is closely related to increased cardiovascular disease risk. Porphyromonas gingivalis colonized in the gingival sulcus of chronic periodontitis patients could invade cardiovascular tissues through bacteremia and phagocyte-mediated pathways and secrete virulence factors. By triggering endotoxemia, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, foam cell formation and lipid accumulation, vascular remodeling, plaque rupture and thrombosis, it leads to serious cardiovascular end-events. The study on the specific ways that Porphyromonas gingivalis affects cardiovascular disease provides a new method for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, thereby reducing the burden of disease in society.

    ZHANG Xiaocen, CHANG Maolin, ZOU Hao, LIU Xiaoyu, HAN Guangli
    Journal of Oral Science Research    2023, 39 (7): 619-624.   DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2023.07.010
    Abstract168)      PDF (1993KB)(774)      
    Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanisms of Smad ubiquitylation regulatory factor 2(SMURF2) in cyclic stretch-induced osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs). Methods: Cyclic stretch was applied on hPDLCs. The expression of SMURF2 and osteogenic genes were analyzed by qRT-PCR. The expression of SMURF2 and molecules mediating canonical WNT signaling were examined by western blotting. The osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs was assessed by ALP staining and expression of osteogenic genes. A small interfering RNA was used to knockdown SMURF2 in hPDLCs to investigate effects of SMURF2 on the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs and canonical WNT signaling. Results: Expressions of SMURF2, ALP, OPN, OSX, COL-1, and β-catenin were up-regulated in hPDLCs applied cyclic stretch. Activity of ALP was also up-regulated in stretched cells. Depletion of SMURF2 impaired the activity of ALP, down-regulated the expression of ALP,OPN, and OSX genes, and β-catenin protein. However, the protein level of GSK-3β was not changed after SMURF2 depletion. Conclusion: SMURF2 may promote cyclic stretch-induced osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs through canonical WNT signaling pathway.

    ZHANG Shichen, HAN Bing
    Journal of Oral Science Research    2020, 36 (12): 1091-1094.   DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2020.12.003
    Abstract263)      PDF (781KB)(456)      
    Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth common cancer in the world. Although therapies have been improved gradually, the 5-year survival rate of patients with HNSCC remains stable at about 63%. Currently, all therapeutic strategies have severe side effects which reduced the quality of life. Therefore, it is essential to find a new therapy with lower toxicity and higher safety. Metformin is a hypoglycemic agent of biguanide class. Researches have shown that the metformin could inhibit the development and progression of HNSCC, in addition to reduce blood glucose. Mechanisms of metformin against HNSCC might include reducing the level of insulin, inhibiting the mTOR pathway and cancer stem cells, inducing cell cycle arrest, promoting apoptosis and immunomodulation, and enhancing the effect of adjuvant therapies. This article reviews the possible mechanism of metformin against HNSCC based on current available literatures.
