Effects of Cytochalasin B on Function and Actin Cytoskeleton of Goat Temporomandibular Joint Disc Cells. ZHANG Wen-xia, KANG Hong, LV Wei, LI Yan-mei, ZHONG Ni, BAO Guang-jie 2016, 32(8): 775-779.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.08.001 Abstract ( 424 )   Objective: To investigate the relationship between cytoskeletal integrity and the functional changes of temporomandibular join disc cells by cytochalasin B(CB). Methods: Taking cell proliferation and morphology as evaluating parameters, different concentrations of CB were added to TMJ disc cells to get an optimal working concentration. Cells exposing to the optimal concentration of CB, apoptosis, adhesion and actin were observed. Results: CB of 2 μmol/L obviously inhibited the proliferative activity of TMJ disc cells. However, as the culturing went on, the inhibition rate significantly reduced. No effect was observed with regard to cell apoptosis. The TMJ disc cell adhesion rate reduced. Compare with the control group, cells gradually lost ecptomas in the treatment group, becoming smoother; actin filaments obviously fractured and fluorescence intensity decreased. Moreover, actin mRNA expression reduced. Conclusion: CB may inhibit TMJ disc cell morphology and function by destroying the structure of actin. References | Related Articles | Metrics

YIN Qiu-rong, WANG Sheng-chao, LUO Ying, TONG Juan, HU Yi 2016, 32(8): 780-784.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.08.002 Abstract ( 353 )   Objective: To investigate Notch expression and apoptosis in odontoblasts of mouse incisor after mechanical injury. Methods: Dental mechanical injury model was established through the cavity preparation on the mandibular incisor of mice. The expressions of Notch1 and Notch2 in the odontoblasts were observed by immunohistochemical staining, and apoptosis of the odontoblasts was observed by TUNEL staining. Results: The expression of Notch in odontoblasts were activated by mechanical injury and showed a dynamic change. One day after injury, the expressions of Notch1 and Notch2 were positive; 3 days after injury, the expressions of Notch1 and Notch2 were significantly increased and were intensively positive; 5 days after injury, Notch1 and Notch2 were still positive; 7 days after injury, the expressions of Notch1 and Notch2 became weak. In control, expressions of Notch1 and Notch2 were very weak. Mechanical injury leaded to massive apoptosis in dental pulp. Apoptosis staining in the odontoblasts was obvious 1 day after injury, and the apoptotic cells decreased gradually from 3-7 days after injury. Few apoptotic odontoblasts were observed in the control group. Concomitant pattern of the cell apoptosis and Notch expression in the odontoblasts were exhibited after mechanical injury of tooth. Conclusion: Dynamic activation of Notch signaling might be connected with apoptosis regulation in odontoblasts after mechanical injury. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods: The SD rats were separated into 4 groups:control group (A),HL group (B),CP group (C),and HL+CP group (D). After model establishment, group C and group D were randomly divided into group C1/D1 (natural process group) and group C2/D2 (scaling and root planning) according to random number table and received the corresponding oral intervention treatment respectively. Serum IL-6 levels were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) respectively one week before the intervention, one week after the first intervention, one, three, five weeks after the second intervention. The unilateral maxilla was collected and stained by methylene blue, and the distance between CEJ and ABC (cementoenamel junction and alveolar bone crest) was measured. Results: Serum IL-6 of group C and D was obviously higher than that of group A (P<0.05). C1/D1 group showed an increased trend with time. The serum IL-6 of C2/D2 group was peaked one week after the second intervention, then gradually decreased and was lower than the baseline (P<0.05). The degree of alveolar bone loss was as follow: C, D group > A group (P<0.001). Serum level of IL-6 and alveolar bone resorption were positively correlated (P<0.01). Conclusion: Hyperlipidemia can aggravate the periodontitis degree, and periodontal basic treatment exacerbates the body's inflammatory response in the short term. To some extent, periodontal basic treatment can decrease the alveolar bone loss in periodontitis rats with or without hyperlipidemia. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods: VEGF production in the supernatants of cultured CAL27 and SCC4 were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA). DCs were generated from human peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs) and sensitized by SCC4 cell lysates. After that, their phenotypes were analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM), mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) for allostimulatory function and IL-12 level was detected by ELISA. DCs loaded with tumor antigen were co-cultured with allogeneic T cells to induce tumor specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Meanwhile, killing effect of Avastin combined with CTLs to SCC4 in vitro was studied. Results: The level of VEGF secreted by SCC4 was higher than CAL27. Compared with the control group, the expression of CD83, HLA-DR, CD86, CD80 and CD40 on DCs loaded with SCC4 cell lysate, the level of IL-12 and the stimulatory capacity to T cell proliferation were obviously enhanced, but the expression of CD1a was down-regulated. DCs loaded with OSCC antigen increased the proliferation of T lymphocytes. The killing effect of Avastin combined with CTLs was 56.1% to SCC4 and was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Avastin combined with CTLs induced by tumor-antigen sensitized DCs could inhibit OSCC growth. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Effect of Sodium Hyaluronateacid (Sh) Injection Combined with Occlusal Splint on Temporomandibular Joint Anterior Disc Displacement without Reduction ZHANG Ling-ge, ZHANG Rui,LI Xi-hong, DING Wen-sheng, LIU Jun 2016, 32(8): 865-868.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.08.022 Abstract ( 348 )   Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of sodium hyaluronateacid(SH) injection combined with stabilizationsplint for the treatment of anterior disc displacement without reduction. Methods: Forty patients with temporomandibular joint anterior disc displacement without reduction were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group wasinjected withSH in the articular cavity combined with stabilizationsplint, and the control group was only injected with SH in the articular cavity. Comparative analysis was performed before, 3 months, and 6 months after treatment in patients withFricton dysfunction index, pain index(VAS) and maximal mouth opening. Results: After treatment, temporomandibular dysfunction,arthralgia and mouth openingof patients in the two groups weresignificantly improved(P<0.05). No significant difference ofthe mouth opening was found between two groups (P>0.05). The VAS,CMI and DI of the experimental group decreased significantly than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Intraarticular injection of SH combined with stabilizationsplint for the treatment of anterior disc displacement without reduction is betterthan the simple articular cavity injection of SH.

Effect of Co2+ on the Cytotoxicity of Human Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells and Gene Expression of Bax and Bcl-2 LUO Xin-nian, LIAN Wen-wei 2016, 32(8): 869-873.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.08.023 Abstract ( 253 )   Objective: To study the effect of Co2+ on the cytotoxicity of human renal tubular epithelial cells and the gene expression of Bax and Bcl-2. Methods: HK-2 cells were cultured and incubated with five different concentrations of Co2+ solution(0-10 μmol/L)for 12h, 24h and 48h in vitro. Cells were observed and recorded under inverted phase contrast microscope. Cell proliferation of each culture group was detected by MTT and the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by RT-PCR at different time points. Results: Co2+ had no toxicity on HK-2 cells when the concentration was lower than 7.5 μmol/L during the observation time. While when the concentration was higher than 7.5 μmol/L, Co2+ had mild toxicity on HK-2 cells after 24h. As to the increase of Co2+ concentration and time of duration, the mRNA expression of Bax in each experimental group gradually increased, while the mRNA expression of Bcl-2 gradually decreased and the value of Bax/Bcl-2 increased. Conclusion: Co2+ inhibited the proliferation of HK-2 cells. It has no toxicity on human renal tubular epithelial cells at low concentration,but has mild toxicity and promotes cell apoptosis at high concentration(≥7.5 μmol/L).

Comparison of Different Volumes of Articaine for Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block with Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis WANG Su, LI Jing-hong, BI Cheng, ZHOU Yi 2016, 32(8): 874-876.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.08.024 Abstract ( 299 )   Objective: To compare the efficacy of 1.7 mL and 3.4 mL articaine for an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) when treating molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Methods: Seventy-six teeth were randomly received conventional IANB injection either with 1.7 mL or 3.4 mL of 4% articaine with 1:100000 epinephrine. The patients recorded their pain before and during access cavity preparation as well as during root canal instrumentation using a HeftParker visual analog scale. Data were analyzed by T and chi-square tests. Results: Seventy-two patients were eligible to participate in this study, which showed that 3.4 mL articaine provided a significantly higher success rate (74.4%) of IANBs compared with 1.7 mL of the same anesthetic solution (27.8%) although neither group had 100% successful anesthesia (P<0.001). Conclusion: Increasing the volume of articaine provided a significantly higher success rate of IANBs in mandibular first molar teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, but it did not result in 100% anesthetic success.

Curative Effect Comparison of Two Different Tooth-colored Improved Onlay/crown Restorations on the Seriously Damaged Molars ZHOU Lei, WANG Chuan-jiang, WEI Yu-hua 2016, 32(8): 877-880.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.08.025 Abstract ( 297 )   Objective: To compare the clinical effects of two tooth-colored improved onlay/crown restorations in the seriously damaged molars. Methods: A total of 51 onlay/crowns restorations were placed in 46 patients. The restorations were allocated into CAD/CAM zirconia ceramics and Co-Cr PFM onlay/crowns. According to modified USPHS criteria, all improved onlay/crowns were checked and recorded at 1 week, 1 year and 2 year after the restorations were placed. Results: Only one Co-Cr PFM onlay restoration was broken on the ceramic layer at the second year. There were no restoration loss, tooth fracture and secondary caries during the study. Three CAD/CAM zirconia ceramics and 7 Co-Cr PFM restorations were little mismatch in color with adjacent teeth. Conclusion: Improved tooth-colored onlay/crown restoration provides the dentists with another treatment choice for seriously damaged posterior teeth. However, long-term observation is necessary.

Sagittal Correction with Cusp Reshaping and the Mechanism: A Case Report JIN Li-fei, HUANG Yi-hui, GONG Guo-liang, LIN Xin-ping 2016, 32(8): 881-882.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.08.026 Abstract ( 261 )   Class II malocclusion is one of the most prevalent malocclusions. The locked teeth between upper and lower arch often discount its sagittal correction. Clinically, it is a valid method by reshaping the cusp of the teeth, followed by redistributing the occlusal force, and finally achieving directional movement. This paper reported a case successfully corrected by the method of cusp reshaping. Besides, relevant literature was reviewed to discuss the biomechanics, so as to provide a reference for clinical treatment. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Application Progress of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in the Field of Periodontal Tissue Reconstruction CHEN Liang-wen, YAN Qi, SHI Bin 2016, 32(8): 883-885.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2016.08.027 Abstract ( 305 )   Through loading specific transcription factors into virus vectors and importing them into mature body cells, somatic cells can be reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells). IPS cells can proliferate and maintain the undifferentiated state, and can differentiate into a variety of mature cells, tissues and organs. By the method of tissue engineering, when culturing iPS stem cells in the medium added with functional cell factors, and combining with the cytoskeleton, the periodontal tissue defects can be reconstructed through cells’ proliferation, differentiation, mineralization precipitation, osteoinduction and vascularization. This article systematically reviews the source, culture methods, tissue engineering-related cytokines, cell bracket, and application of iPS cells in the periodontal tissue regeneration.
