WANG Jiao-jiao, WANG Li-na, YE Dan-dan, AO Xiang, DING Yin-hao, QU Wen-shu, NIU Wei-dong. 2016, 32(6): 549-553.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.06.001 Abstract ( 499 )   PDF (3206KB) ( 380 )   Objective: To investigate the expression of NLRP3/Caspase-1 inflammation pathway in induced rat periapical lesions. Methods: 30 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were selected. The pulp cavities of the bilateral mandibular first molars were opened and sealed with phosphate buffer saline (PBS) and glass ionomer. The rats were randomly sacrificed at 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. The mandibles were extracted forhematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining to observe the inflammation conditions in the apical area. The expression of NLRP3, Caspase-1 and IL-1β were examined by immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR. Results: NLRP3, Caspase-1 and IL-1β could be detected in the inflammatory periapical tissues, and the expression were remarkably increased when compared with the control group (P<0.05). The number of Caspase-1 and IL-1β positive cells were significantly correlated with the number of NLRP3 positive cells in the periapical lesions (P<0.01). Conclusion: The expression pattern of NLRP3/Caspase-1 inflammation pathway in experimental periapical lesions suggested that NLRP3-mediated signaling pathway might play an important role in periapical immune defense.

LI Ji-qing, LIU Yi-ming, ZHU Song-song, LI Yun-feng, HU Jing. 2016, 32(6): 564-569.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.06.004 Abstract ( 338 )   PDF (4518KB) ( 217 )   Objective: To evaluate whether Lactoferrin (LF) has a therapeutic effect on cartilage and subchondral bone in osteoporotic (OP) rats with osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Forty female Sprague Dawley rats were stratified into four groups with 10 animals per group: OA, OA+LF, OP+OA, OP+OA+LF. OA was induced 12 weeks after bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) or sham operation. LF dissolved in 2ml 0.9% normal saline was administered by oral gavages at a dose of 85mg/kg/d, starting from the first day after the induction of OA. After 8-week treatment, the proximal tibia was harvested for histology, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), immunohistochemical staining, real-time polymerase chain reaction, as well as western blot evaluation. Results: Therapeutic effect of LF was mainly observed in OVX rats, which increased BV/TV by 30.2%, the Tb.Th by 33.7%, and decreased Tb.Sp by 50.1% in micro-CT analysis of the subchondral bone. LF treatment also decreased the mRNA and protein expression of matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), as well as increasing the mRNA and protein expression of runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) in OVX rats. Conclusion: LF treatment reduced traumatic osteoarthritis in OVX rats, which was possibly related to the beneficial effect of LF on subchondral bone tissue indirectly, or direct effect on cartilage by decreasing the expression of MMP-13 and TRAP.

Tooth Movement Tendency with Different Traction Positions in Lingual Orthodontics: A 3-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis. GAO Xue, ZHANG Chun-zhi, ZHANG Dong-liang. 2016, 32(6): 596-600.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.06.011 Abstract ( 229 )   PDF (2716KB) ( 325 )   Objective: To analyze the tooth movement tendency during anterior retraction with micro implant and sliding method in the customized lingual appliance when traction position is different. Methods: An entire 3-D finite element (FEM) model was constructed, including dentition, periodontal ligament (PDL), alveolar bone, and customized lingual appliance. Using this 3-D FEM model, at different traction positions, mesial or distal to the canine, the anterior teeth and posterior teeth movement tendency during anterior retraction in three dimensions was analyzed. Results: When the lingual anterior retraction hooks (LARHs) were placed distal to the canine, the retraction amount in anterior teeth was more uniformly distributed, dentition constriction appeared in canine and second premolar area, whereas the vertical "bowing effect" was more obvious. Conclusion: During space closure by customized lingual appliance, it is better to locate LARHs distal to the canine. In this way, the decrease of intercanine and interpremolar dental arch width counteracts transverse "bowing effect" effectively. Due to the obvious "bowing effect" in vertical, 10 degrees reverse curve arch wire is necessary to counteract the side effect. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods: One hundred and thirty-eight patients with combined periodontal-endodontic lesions, from October 2013 to October 2015 in Nanjing Stomatological Hospital, were randomly divided into control group (group A) and the test group (group B). The involved teeth were treated with root canal therapy (RCT) and full mouth supragingival scaling, and then the subgingival scaling and root planning (SRP) were performed 1 week (group A) or 4-6 weeks (group B) later. SBI, PD, AL, PLI, and TM were recorded at baseline, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months for statistical analysis. Results: All the indices observed were not significantly different between group A and group B at baseline before RCT. The differences of SBI, PD, TM were statistically significant between two groups before periodontal treatment (P<0.05). When compared with pre-treatment, the difference of the parameters of baseline and of 2 months after periodontal treatment was statistically significant in both groups. However, there were no statistically significant of the parameters at maintenance periods of 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months when compared to 2 months after treatment. There was no significant difference between two groups at any time point (P<0.05). Conclusion: SRP was suggested to perform 1 week after RCT. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods: Forty patients with endotracheal tube after surgical treatment in oral and maxillofacial surgery were randomly divided into P-H group (propofol plus hydromorphone), P-D group (propofol plus dexmedetomidnie). P-H group received propofol 0.5-1.0 mg/kg/h intravenous infusion plus hydromorphone 4-8μg/kg/h, and P-D group received propofol 0.5-1.0 mg/kg/h intravenous infusion plus dexmedetomidnie 0.2-0.6μg/kg/h. Ramsay score, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory and other changes were compared between two groups. Time check points included before administration (T0), 30 minutes after administration (T1), 1 hour after administration (T2), 2 hours after administration (T3), 6 hours after administration (T4), 12 hours after administration (T5) and 10 minutes after extubation (T6). The data were processed with SPSS 16.0 software package. Results: There was no significant difference for arterial blood gas analysis, oxygen saturation, mean arterial pressure, respiratory rate and ramsay score between two groups at all time points. However,the changes of heart rate were significantly different between the two groups at T2,T5 and T6. Conclusion: Similar sedative and analgesic effects can be gained in treating postoperative patients with tracheostomy tube in oral and maxillofacial surgery with P-H compared to with P-D. Besides, the former does not result in bradycardia. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Relationship between Occlusal Tooth Wear and Chewing Side Preference and Lateral Occlusion. MENG Meng, CHAI Zhi-guo, XIE Cheng, ZHANG Shao-feng, MA Chu-fan. 2016, 32(6): 639-642.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.06.021 Abstract ( 200 )   PDF (800KB) ( 321 )   Objective:To investigate the relationship between tooth wear and chewing side preference as well as lateral occlusion. Methods: The data were collected by a questionnaire survey and clinical examination. Then t-test was applied to analyze the relationship between occlusal tooth wear and chewing side and preference as well as lateral occlusion. Results: There were 133 subjects (52%) who reported a chewing side preference: 77 (30%) for the right side and 56 (22%) for the left in all of 257 subjects. Chewing side preference was significantly correlated with OTWI scores (P<0.05). If analyzed for the different dental regions separately, the significant difference of OTWI score only existed in the molar region (P<0.05). Of all subjects, 23 (8.9%) had canine protected guidance, 213 (82.9%) had group function, 21 (8.6%) were not measurable at the left side. And 22 (8.6%) subjects had canine protected guidance, 217 (84.4%) had group function, 18 (7.0%) were not measurable at the right side. Subjects with group function had higher mean OTWI scores than those with canine protected guidance in the molar region (P<0.05). Conclusion:Occlusal tooth wear of the chewing side preference was severer than the other side. The molar region occlusal tooth wear of group function was severer than that of canine protected guidance in the molar region. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Two Minimally Invasive Maxillary Sinus Lifting and Simultaneously Placement of Implants from the Top of Alveoli with 3~5 Years Clinic follow-up Study. GAO Wei, LI Liang-yu, ZHANG Feng. 2016, 32(6): 643-647.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.06.022 Abstract ( 216 )   PDF (2543KB) ( 376 )   Objective: To compare 2 minimally invasive treatment procedures for maxillary sinus lifting and simultaneously placement of implants. Methods: Seventy cases (81 implants) underwent sinus floor bone graft and simultaneously placement surgery. The mean time of follow up was 36.78±13.74 months. Results: There were 2 implants loose or lost, no clinical complaint of the maxillary sinus area, and X-ray examination of 79 implants showed well osseointegration in 6 to 72 (36.78 ± 13.74) months postoperatively. Conclusion: When residual alveolar bone height was 6-8mm, no significant difference in bone loss was recorded between two minimally invasive applications. While residual alveolar bone height was 2-5mm, a simplified surgical procedure for accessing the maxillary sinus via crestal approach by DASK tools could be adopted. It made the patients less pain and higher satisfaction. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of Parotid Gland: Analysis of 6 Cases. ZHANG Chen-yu, WEN Wei-sheng, TAO Ye. 2016, 32(6): 648-651.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.06.023 Abstract ( 266 )   PDF (1089KB) ( 218 )   Objective: To investigate the clinical manifestation, pathological characteristics, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of parotid gland. Methods: Six cases of IMT of parotid gland treated in our hospital from 2011 to 2015 were reviewed and analyzed. Results: Six patients, composed of 3 male and 3 female (age 6-75 years), had the IMT of parotid gland in superficial lobe. All the patients were treated by surgery, while 2 of them received hormone therapy after surgery. The patients were followed up for 2-5 years with no recurrence. Conclusion: IMT is a rare benign neoplasm. It is composed of large amounts of spindle cells and infiltrating inflammatory cells such as lymphocytes and plasma cells. IMT of parotid gland is more rare and easy to misdiagnose. Diagnose is relied on the pathology. Treatment is mostly relied on surgery with supplementary hormonotherapy. Prognosis is good and recurrence rate is relatively low References | Related Articles | Metrics

Role of RANK-RANKL-OPG Signaling Pathway in Bone Remodeling LI Xue, ZHOU Yan-min, MA Shan-shan, MA Yao, GUO Tian-qi, XU Zhao-nan. 2016, 32(6): 659-671.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.06.027 Abstract ( 497 )   PDF (843KB) ( 771 )   Bone is a dynamic organization which sustains its balance and structural integrity through bone remodeling that composed of bone resorption and bone formation. Receptor activator of nuclear factor kB (RANK)-receptor activator of nuclear factor kB ligand (RANKL)-osteoprotegerin (OPG) has major effects on bone remodeling, especially in the osteoblast lineage to regulate the differentiation and activity of osteoclasts. In addition, the further research of this pathway will have important guiding significance for the clinical treatment of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. This article aims to explain the RANK-RANKL-OPG signaling pathway's molecular mechanism in bone. References | Related Articles | Metrics
