CAO Pei-lin, ZHANG Lei, PAN Yi-Sha, LIU Qiang, CHEN Rui-tian, CHEN Zhi. 2017, 33(5): 467-470.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2017.05.001 Abstract ( 438 )   PDF (1496KB) ( 291 )   Objective: To compare the influence of various self-etch adhesives on interfacial integrity restored with flowable resin composite. Methods: Forty-two extracted intact human third molars were selected and cavities of 2mm*2mm*2mm were prepared on the occlusal surface of the teeth. The prepared teeth were randomly divided into seven groups and treated with different self-etch adhesives: Group A (SE Bond), Group B (Liner Bond F), Group C (SE Protect), Group D (SE Bond 2), Group E (SE One), Group F (S3 Bond), and Group G (Universal Bond Kit). All of the teeth were restored with flowable resin composite and were light-cured for 20s. Acoustic emission (AE) events were recorded when the light-curing started, and last for totally 2000s during and after light-curing time. The interfacial integrity was detected by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Results: The cumulative AE number increased rapidly in the early time period until 150s. The AE number of Group E was the lowest, while the AE number of Group B was the highest. However, there were no significant differences among all groups. The percentage of interfacial debonding in Group E was the lowest. The percentages of interfacial debonding calculated by OCT were not significantly different in all groups. Conclusion: AE technology and OCT were effective methods to detect tooth-composite interfacial integrity. The interfacial integrity showed no significant difference between one-step and two-step self-etch adhesives. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods: The EcoR I restriction sites and GST tag which was connected with DDDDK enterokinase site were inserted to the N-terminus of the Apidaecin gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A termination codon and Not I restriction sites were inserted at the C-terminus. The amplified fragments were connected to the expression vector pPICZαA and the recombinant expression vector pPICZαA-GST-Apidaecin was established and the sequence was identified. The pPICZαA-GST-Apidaecin was electrotransfected into P.pastoris X33 and was fermented. The expression products were purified and the molecular weight was appraised by SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis. The antibacterial activity was tested after the GST was excised by EK kinase. Results: SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis showed that the molecular weight of the product was about 28KD which was identical with the theoretical molecular weight. After removal of GST fusion tag by enterokinase, the antibacterial activity of Apidaecin to E.coli BL21 was significant. Conclusion: The antimicrobial peptides of Apidaecin typecan successfully expressed in P. pastoris and had significant antibacterial activity. References | Related Articles | Metrics

WANG Mi, GAO Ying, YAN Wen-ting, ZHOU Gen-xiang, LIU Xia-qing. 2017, 33(5): 479-481.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2017.05.004 Abstract ( 235 )   PDF (1327KB) ( 224 )   Objective: To investigate the effect of metformin on serum advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Methods: Forty female SD rats underwent bilateral ovariectomy or sham operation, three months later they were randomly assigned into four groups for metformin treatment: Sham rats, OVX rats, OVX+50 mg/kg/day rats, and OVX+100 mg/kg/day rats. Another three months later, all rats were sacrificed to evaluate the histology differences between different groups and to compare the serum AGEs differences by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Compared with Sham group, bilateral ovariectomy induced impaired bone mass and increased serum AGEs; while metformin treatment significantly reversed these actions, leading to improved bone mass and decreased serum AGEs. However, there was no significant difference between OVX+50 mg/kg/day rats and OVX+100 mg/kg/day rats. Conclusion: Metformin may have a direct inhibition effect on bone loss in postmenopausal osteoporosis, and this action could be partly mediated through regulating AGEs levels in vivo.

ZHANG Xiao-xiao, LI Jing, WANG Jun-mei, LI Tong, YANG Mo-yang, WU Zhe. 2017, 33(5): 491-495.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2017.05.007 Abstract ( 302 )   PDF (1810KB) ( 287 )   Objective: To investigate the effect and possible mechanisms of GBE(ginkgo biloba extract)on the differentiation of osteoblast. Methods: Different concentrations of GBE were applied to the MG63. The osteogenic differentiation capacity was evaluated by Alizarin red and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. RT-PCR was taken to test the expression of COL1A1 (type I collagen), OC (osteocalcin), Runx2, and cyclinD1. Western blot was adopted to inspect the protein level of cyclinD1 and subcellular localization of β-catenin. Results: Incubation of MG63 cell in GBE-supplemented culture medium significantly increased ALP activity, the mRNA expression levels of COL1A1, OC, Runx2, and cyclinD1 as well as the cyclinD1 protein level and β-catenin nuclear accumulation at day 7. The matrix mineralization was also augmented after 14 days incubation of GBE. And the 75mg/L was the most effective concentration. Importantly, the positive effects of GBE above were abolished by DKK1, a blocker of the Wnt/β-catenin receptor. Conclusion: GBE has a significantly positive effect on the osteogenic differentiation of the MG63 and the 75mg/L was the most effective concentration, in which Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway may play an important role.

Methods: The vibrations of the TMJ were recorded bilaterally from 30 subjects with reducible disc displacement by joint vibration analysis (JVA) in two movement patterns (1.open/close cycle from the intercuspal position; 2. open/close cycle from edge-to-edge position). Mandibular opening and its pattens were recorded and analyzed by Joint-3D technique. Results: The values of total integral and peak amplitude (P<0.01) in movement 2 were lower than that in movement 1. The wave patterns of the power-frequency spectra for all participants were qualitatively similar unimodal spectrum in two types of movement but with lower amplitude in movement 2. There was no significant difference between 2 movement patterns for peak frequency (P=0.705) and the ratio of >300 Hz/<300 Hz (P=0.386). Conclusion: Edge-to-edge open/close movement can reduce the intensity of joint vibration compared to the open/close cycle from the intercuspal position. The electronic recording of vibrations in TMJ can provide a quantitatively analysis and reliable evidence for repositioning splint through mandibular protrusion.

Methods: One hundred and thirty-three cases of mandibular deeply impacted wisdom teeth were randomly assigned to two groups:one group was extracted by using electric micro-dynamic systems (MDS Group),while the other was treated by using high-speed air-turbine drill (HST Group). Then the duration of operation, postoperative pain, swelling, trismus and the rate of dry socket,inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury, and damage to adjacent teeth were compared. The data were statistically analyzed with SPSS19.0 software package. Results: The data showed that the duration of operation of MDS group was shorter than HST group significantly. The occurrence of postoperative pain, swelling and trismus of MDS group was fewer than that of HST group statistically(P<0.05). The incidence rate of dry socket and IAN injury of MDS group was lower than that of HST group, but no statistical difference be found. Conclusion: Compared with high-speed air-turbine drill, electric micro-dynamic systems can obtain better clinical effect by cutting down duration of operation with minor wound and reducing the incidence of postoperative complications efficiently.
