Objective: To explore the effects of MT01 on the differentiation of osteoblasts by determining the expression of specific osteoblast-related factors in MG63 infected by porphyromonas gingivalis. Methods: Human osteoblast-like cells MG63 were seeded into 6 well plates. Specific sequence oligodeoxynucleotide MT01 at a concentration of 1 μg·mL^-1 and the same volume of PBS were added separately, and the cells were incubated for 3 hours. Then bacterium suspension of P.g at multiplicity of infection MOI=100∶1 was added. The same volume of PBS was added in the control group. Four groups were set, i.e. MT01+P.g, MT01, P.g, and blank control group. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the mRNA expression of osteoblast-related factors Runx2, SP7 at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours respectively. Results: The mRNA levels of osteoblast-related factors in MG63 were markedly upregulated after adding MT01 following infected by P.g or not. However, the ability of MT01 to upregulate the expression of Runx2 and SP7 at different time-points was different. Conclusion: MT01 could promote the differentiation of osteoblasts in infected status.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of fiber laser systems on flexural strength and shear bond strength of zirconia ceramics. Methods: Fifty sintered zirconia ceramic blocks were prepared and divided into five groups (n=10). Group A: control group without treatment, Group B: air abrasion with Al2O3 particles, Group C to E: fiber laser with 2W, 4W, 6W power respectively. The flexural strength of all samples was measured and the microscopic morphology of each group was observed under SEM. After that, dual-cure composite resin cement Multilink N was bonded to the ceramic specimens and stored in distilled water at 37℃ for 24h. Mean values of shear bond strength (MPa) were calculated. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and LSD tests (P<0.05). Results: The flexural strength did not show significant difference among the groups. The bond strength of group A and E were lower than that of group B, C, D (P<0.05). No significant differences were found among group B, C, D. Conclusion: This study shows that with proper laser power, fiber laser treatment can increase the bond strength of zirconia compared to the untreated group without affecting the flexural strength of the ceramics. Fiber laser may be an alternative method to pretreat zirconia ceramics in the clinic.

Objective: To investigate the expression of p53 and ki67 proteins, and their relations to prognosis of patients in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods: A retrospective study including 132 patients with OSCC was performed, and the follow-up time was at least 5 years. The expression levels of p53 and ki67 were detected by immunohistochemistry and analyzed for the correlation with pathological features and prognosis of patients in OSCC. Results: The expression levels of p53 and ki67 correlated with cell differentiation, TNM stages and tumor site in OSCC (P＜0.05). In addition, the expression of p53 was an independent prognostic parameter in patients with OSCC (P＜0.05), but ki67 expression was not. Conclusion: The expression level of p53 is an effective biomarker and an independent prognostic parameter in oral squamous cell carcinoma

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of modified marginal resection of mandible remaining its continuity with combined radical neck dissection in the surgical management of tongue squamous cell carcinoma. Method: Modified marginal resection of mandible remaining its continuity with combined radical neck dissection was used in 137 cases of tongue squamous cell carcinoma. In the modification group, slice cut and selective grinding of bone between inner inferior border of mandible and mucosa of floor of mouth were added. Selective/radical neck dissection was applied. 30-month follow-up was conducted at least. Results: The median follow-up time was 42 months. Three- or five-year survival rate was 74.45% (101/137) and 70.80% (97/137), respectively. Mastication, swallowing, speech and appearance of all the cases were significantly improved. The curative effect was satisfactory. Conclusion: Modified marginal resection of mandible remaining its continuity with combined radical neck dissection is feasible in the treatment of tongue squamous cell carcinoma.
