Application of Paranasal Sinus Imaging in Forensic Identification YANG Xiao-fang, LI Bing 2019, 35(4): 322-324.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2019.04.004 Abstract ( 273 )   PDF (770KB) ( 238 )   The main task of forensic anthropology is individual identification. Current methods include fingerprint analysis, DNA matching, palatal wrinkle, and iris contrast, which will be limited when the body is decomposed. The skeletal system is the last to decay after the death of the organism, and then, the enamel. As a result, forensic exports often analyze the skeletal remains of the bodies to make gender and individual identification. However, most skeletons have been found to be incomplete, which is not conductive to proper identification. Paranasal sinuses are oxygenated bone space, which is more resilient than other bones in the body. Therefore, they are often complete when there are major disasters, such as explosions, traffic accidents, and plane crashes, and often used for forensic identification. This paper summarizes the research achievements of scholars at home and abroad, and summarizes the research progress of paranasal sinus image used in the field of gender identification in forensic medicine.

Methods: Thirty extracted maxillary central incisors were randomly divided into 3 groups regarding their preparation methods. The preparation methods were full-preparation (group A), full-preparation and finishing with fine diamond bur (group B), and no-preparation, only grinding with diamond bur (group C). After conditioning the teeth, ceramic veneers (IPS e.max) were silanated and then cemented with DuoLink luting cement. The shear bond strength was measured for each group and failure mode was determined by stereomicroscopic examination. Results: Group C exhibited the highest shear bond strength. The shear bond strength was significantly different between groups C and B (P< 0.05). However, the difference between group A and C was insignificant, as was the difference between group A and B (P>0.05). Adhesion failure mode was found to be more common than the cohesive mode. Conclusion: Regarding the failure mode of unprepared anterior teeth to porcelain laminate veneers yielded by this study, no-preparation veneers might be used when the enamel is affected by wearing, trauma, or abrasion. It can also be used in patients who refuse the treatments which involve tooth reduction and preparation. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods: A transwell co-culture system composed of T cells and oral keratinocytes was used as a model of OLP in vitro. The effects of activated T cells pretreated with LY294002, rapamycin, and IGF1 on the levels of IL-2 and TNF-α in supernatant from T cell alone and co-culture system were detected via ELISA, respectively. Results: Compared to the T cells cultured alone, the interaction of keratinocytes and T cells could increase the secretion of TNF-α (P<0.05), but has no impact on the level of IL-2. Whereas the aberrant IGF1-PI3K/MTOR signaling decreased the IL-2 and TNF-α secretion in the co-culture system (P<0.05). Conclusion: The IGF1-PI3K/MTOR signaling may modulate the cytokine networks in the crosstalk between T cells and keratinocytes and participate in the progression of OLP.

Effects of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived Exosomes on Proliferation and Differentiation of Osteoblasts CHEN Yan, JIANG Sheng-jun, PENG You-jian 2019, 35(4): 401-404.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2019.04.023 Abstract ( 294 )   PDF (2056KB) ( 253 )   Objective: To evaluate the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) derived exosomes on the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Methods: BMSCs were cultured in vitro and exsomes were isolated by ultracentrifugation from supernatants. After treated with BMSCs derived exosomes, the proliferation of osteoblasts was detected by CCK-8 assay. Alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) analysis and alizarin red staining were adopted to evaluate the effect of BMSCs derived exosomes on mineralization process of osteoblasts. Real-time PCR was utilized to detect the expression of odontogenesis-related genes. Results: BMSCs derived exosomes enhanced the proliferation of osteoblasts and upregulated the expression levels of odontogenesis-related genes. The ALP activity and calcium accumulation of osteoblasts were increased significantly as well. Conclusion: BMSCs derived exosomes could promote the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts.

Biomechanical Properties of Polyetheretherketone Prostheses Prepared by Three Different Processes GUO Fang, HUANG Shuo, ZHU Yong, XUE Yang, HU Min, GAO Yue-rong, LIU Chang-kui 2019, 35(4): 405-408.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2019.04.024 Abstract ( 243 )   PDF (1149KB) ( 256 )   Objective: By testing the biomechanical properties of three different processes PEEK standard parts, to evaluate the advantages and clinical application prospects of 3D printing PEEK prosthesis. Methods: Standard parts for biomechanical testing were manufactured by three processes: isomer (injection molding), reduction (machining) and augmentation (3D printing). Uniaxial tensile test, uniaxial compression test, and three-point bending test were carried out to test the biomechanical properties of the standard parts. LSD test was used to compare the mean values among groups. Results: There was no significant difference in tensile strength between 3D printing specimens and mechanical processing and injection molding. The bending strength of 3D printing was slightly lower than that of mechanical processing, but not significant different from that of injection molding. Conclusion: The polyetheretherketone prosthesis prepared by 3D printing technology has better mechanical properties and can better meet the individualized clinical needs.
