Research Progress on Biomimetic Enamel Mineralization Induced by Proteins and Peptides from Oral Cavity. HU Die, ZHANG Ling-lin 2019, 35(6): 517-520.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2019.06.002 Abstract ( 379 )   PDF (804KB) ( 602 )   During enamel biomineralization, ameloblasts secrete proteins to mediate the hydroxyapatite crystallites to form the well-organized prism pattern. Finally, a highly complex and ordered enamel structure is formed. When the enamel is destructed, it is of great difficulties and high popularity to find biomimetic reparative materials or methods that can induce the regeneration of enamel microstructure at present. Among them, enamel biomimetic mineralization using proteins derived from oral environment and their derived peptides is a promising way to rebuild the enamel. In this paper, we review the advancement of enamel biomimetic mineralization induced by proteins and their derived peptides from oral cavity according to the latest reports in recent years.

Methods: Sixty 8-week-old male SD rats were exposed and directly capped on the first maxillary molars. Rats were sacrificed on days 1, 3, 7, and 14, dental pulp repair was detected with HE and Masson's trichrome staining. Inflammation markers TNF-α, CD68, and autophagy proteins LC3B and Beclin1 were detected by immunofluorescence staining. Damaged pulp tissue and dental pulp cells (DPCs) treated with LPS in vitro were extracted to detect the expression of inflammation, mineralization, and autophagy genes by real-time quantitate PCR. Results: Inflammation was increased gradually from 1st to 3rd day after operation, but no obvious inflammation was observed at 14th day. New collagen fibers were formed (P<0.05). Autophagy related proteins were mainly expressed on the cytoplasm and membrane of DPCs, odontoblasts, and vascular endothelial cells. The mRNA level of tissue showed that inflammatory markers IL-1β, CD68, and TNF-α were peaked at 3th day and then gradually decreased; the mineralization markers COL1, DSPP, and DMP1 were increased gradually after injury. LC3B and Atg5 reached the peak after 12 hours, decreased to the bottom after 24 hours, and then gradually increased; Atg12 and Beclin1 showed a trend of decreasing first and then increasing. The trend of mRNA in DPCs was consistent with pulp tissue (P<0.05). Conclusion: During the process of dental pulp injury and repair, autophagy participates in the development of pulp inflammation and promotes the repair of pulp tissue.

Methods: Streptococcus mutans fluoride-resistant strain and parental strain were divided into parental group (Streptococcus mutans parental strain grown in fluorine-free BHI medium), fluoride-resistant group (fluorine-resistant strain grown in fluorine-free BHI medium), and fluorine-containing group (the fluoride-resistant strain was grown in BHI medium having a fluorine content of 1 g/L). The biofilm formation of three groups at 6h, 12h, 18h, 24h, 36h, and 48h was observed by crystal violet staining, scanning electron microscopy, and laser confocal microscopy. The statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 21.0 one-way analysis of variance. Results: (1) The biofilm biomass was observed to increase with time by crystal violet staining, which reached the maximum at 24-36 h and was relatively stable. There was no significant difference in biofilm biomass between the parental group and the fluoride-tolerant group (P>0.05). The biomass of the fluoride group was significantly less than the fluoride-resistant group at the six time points (P<0.05). (2) Scanning electron microscopy showed that the structure of biofilm became more complicated with the increase of time, and the fluorine-containing group did not form a complete biofilm during the experimental time. (3) The laser confocal experiment showed that the biofilm showed green fluorescence at 6h-24h through live bacterial death, and the biofilm was mainly composed of 36h-48h biofilm, which was mainly yellow. There were significant statistical differences in bacterial density and viable ratio between the experimental groups at different time points (P<0.01). Conclusion: There is no significant difference in the in vitro formation of fluoride-resistant strains and parental strains of Streptococcus mutans. Fluoride has a significant inhibitory effect on the formation of biofilms resistant to fluoride. This experiment lays the foundation for the research of the follow-up drugs on the prevention and treatment of biofilm and the study of metabolomics. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Expression and Significance of Eya4 in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma GAO Xu, ZHOU Yang, LI Chen, XUE Xiao-han, WEI Xiu-feng 2019, 35(6): 555-558.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2019.06.011 Abstract ( 206 )   PDF (2149KB) ( 206 )   Objective: To study the expression and significance of eya4 protein in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods: The expression of eya4 in oral mucosa of 60 patients with OSCC and 20 controls with normal oral mucosa (NOM) were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results: Statistical analysis showed that eya4 was highly expressed in NOM tissues and highly differentiated OSCC squamous cell carcinoma tissues, with expression rates of 100% and 95%, respectively, while expression rate was only 5% in poorly differentiated OSCC squamous cell carcinoma tissues. This indicated that eya4 might be involved in the development of OSCC disease. In addition, by studying the relationship between the expression of eya4 and various clinicopathological parameters, the expression was not related to the age and sex of the patient. However, the eya4 expression levels were significantly lower in patients with lymph node metastasis than in patients without lymph node metastasis. Conclusion: Eya4 may influence the occurrence, development, and metastasis of OSCC. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods: The expressions of microRNA-9 (miR-9) from ACC-2 cells and ACC-M cells were analyzed using qRT-PCR after transfected with miR-9 lentivirus. Cell invasion was measured by transwell experiment after transfection. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of matrix metalloproteinases family and tumor-related signaling pathways in SACC cell lines after transfection. SPSS 16.0 was used to analyze the data. Results: MiR-9 expression was remarkably down-regulated in the ACC-M cells in contrast to ACC-2 cells (P<0.01). After 72h transfection, the expression of miR-9 was increased in both ACC cells (P<0.01). MiR-9 overexpression triggered to a decreased cell invasion after transfection for ACC-M cells (P<0.01). The expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins were significantly decreased after transfection in the ACC-M cells, while AKT protein phosphorylation was significantly decreased. Conclusion: Upregulation of miR-9 can inhibit the invasion of SACC cells. The mechanism might relate to the down-regulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 mediated by AKT signaling pathway.

Methods: OSCC cell lines CAL-27 and SCC-15 were cultured and treated with different concentrations of resveratrol (0 μmol/L, 50 μmol/L, 100 μmol/L, 200 μmol/L, 400 μmol/L, and 800 μmol/L) for 24 h. Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay, and the value of IC50 was calculated. OSCC cells were treated with 250 μmol/L resveratrol or 10 nmol/L rapamycin (mTOR inhibitor) for 24 h, and then the cellular glucose uptake was assessed by 2-NBDG staining. Lactate production in the cell supernatant and the activity of hexokinase and pyruvate kinase in the cells were detected using colorimetric method. The proteins expression of hexokinase-2 (HK2), M2 isoform pyruvate kinase (PKM2), mTOR, and p-mTOR in the cells were analyzed by Western blotting. Results: Resveratrol had an obvious inhibitory effect on the proliferation of CAL-27 and SCC-15 cells in a concentration dependent manner (P＜0.05). Resveratrol intervention significantly inhibited the glucose uptake and decreased the production of lactate in both OSCC cells (P<0.05). It also significantly inhibited the activity of pyruvate kinase and decreased the protein expression of PKM2 in CAL-27 and SCC-15 cells (P<0.05). However, it had no significant effect on the activity of hexokinase and the protein expression of HK-2 (P>0.05). At the same time, resveratrol intervention also significantly decreased the phosphorylation level of mTOR (P<0.05). In addition, rapamycin intervention could also inhibit glucose uptake, decrease the production of lac- tate and the phosphorylation level of mTOR, and down-regulate the protein expression of PKM2 in CAL-27 and SCC-15 cells. Conclusion: Resveratrol inhibits the glycolysis of OSCC cells, and its mechanism might relate to the inhibition of the mTOR/PKM2 axis pathway. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods: Titanium alloy microarc oxidized (MAO) silane was used as control group (A). Experiment groups were: titanium alloy-MAO-silane-bovine lactoferrin (BLF) group (B) and titanium alloy-MAO-silane-human lactoferrin (HLF) group (C). They were implanted into the mandible of rabbits at random. Through cone beam three-dimensional imaging equipment (CBCT), the bonding between titanium implant and bone tissue was observed. And through scanning electron microscopy, the thickness of new bone and the morphology of implant-bone interface after implantation were observed. Results: Through CBCT, with the increase of time, the bone density around the implant increased and the range of transmission image narrowed. Group (C) was better than group (B), and group B was better than group A. After 8 weeks, the bone tissue healing was better in group (C), and group (B) was better than group (A). Scanning electron microscopy showed that the composite membranes in group (C) distributed evenly on the implant surface, and compared with group (A) and (B), the contents of Ca and P increased, the new bone quantity increased, and the elements of the composite membranes penetrated into the surrounding bone tissue more extensively. Conclusion: Titanium alloy microarc oxidation silane coupled with human lactoferrin composite membrane could shorten the time of bone binding and might have more osteoinductive ability.

Study on Relationship between Occlusion Design of Implant-supported Restorations and Peri-implant Tissues Health HU Mi-na, LUO Shan-feng 2019, 35(6): 600-603.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2019.06.021 Abstract ( 223 )   PDF (1488KB) ( 264 )   Objective: To evaluate the relationship between occlusion design of implant-supported restorations and peri-implant tissues health. Methods: 203 implants were inserted into 154 patients with posterior teeth loss. The occlusal surfaces of implant-supported restorations were designed for cusp to circle sunken. Peri-implant bone loss, PD, GI, occlusal contact, and proximal contact were evaluated within 12 to 24 months follow-up. Results: In 12 to 24 months follow-up, the peri-implant bone loss was (0.86±0.21)mm and (1.05±0.30)mm, PD was (1.83±0.87)mm and (2.06±0.59)mm, respectively. There were no significant differences. There were 4 and 10 restorations with food impaction. GI was not significantly changed at different call back times. Conclusion: The occlusal surface of implant-supported restorations designed as cusp to circle sunken was useful to peri-implant tissues health. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Expression of Interleukin-1β and Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in Periodontal Tissues of Rat during Root Resorption HUANG Lin, FANG Wei-su, CAO Jun 2019, 35(6): 604-607.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2019.06.022 Abstract ( 171 )   PDF (1414KB) ( 215 )   Objective: To analyze the expression of interleukin-1β and matrix metalloproteinase-2 in the periodontal tissues of rat during root resorption. Methods: Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups, each with ten rats. Group A was the blank control group, and no treatment was done. Group B was applied 40g force on the right upper incisor and the first molar, and group C was applied 100g force at the same position. The degree of root absorption of the teeth was observed by histologically. Before and after 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days, interleukin-1β and matrix metalloproteinase-2 of gingival crevicular fluid were detected by enzyme-linked immunoassay. Results: HE staining showed no obvious root absorption in group A, with dense periodontal membrane fibers and regular arrangement and bone resorption in group B, and the osteoblasts were cubic arranged at the margin of alveolar bone. In group C, periodontal fibers were disordered, and the root was absorbed at the bifurcation point and absorbed to the dentin layer. Before applying the force, there was no statistically significant difference in expression of interleukin-1β and matrix metalloproteinase-2 among three groups (P>0.05). After 1 day of force application, interleukin-1β and matrix metalloproteinase-2 levels in group A were (108.7±7.25)mg/L and(658.3±28.9)μg/L, (165.2±12.4)mg/L, and (702.3±30.4)μg/L in group B,(225.7±16.4)mg/L and(845.7±46.4)μg/L in group C. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05), and group C was significantly higher than group B and group A, reaching peak on the 7th day. Conclusion: The levels of nterleukin-1β and matrix metalloproteinase-2 are involved in root resorption, and monitoring them can provide new ideas for root resorption diagnosis and prevention.

Ananalysis on Buccal Corridor Area Changes with Damon Q and 3M Smartclip Brackets XU Jing, PAN Yu, CHEN Yi-jia 2019, 35(6): 608-610.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2019.06.023 Abstract ( 277 )   PDF (770KB) ( 290 )   Objective: To evaluate the effect of Damon self-ligating and 3M smartclip bracket systems on buccal corridor area and maxillary arch width. Methods: A retrospective sample of consecutively treated patients using either 3M or Damon self-ligating brackets was analyzed to determine any differences in buccal corridor area both within and between groups. Pretreatment and post-treatment standardized frontal posed smile photographs and upper dental casts were taken. Results: There were no significant differences in any buccal corridor area either within or between the Damon and 3M smartclip system (P＞0.05). The inter second premolar and first molar width had significant changes in Damon system after treatment, and the changes had significant difference between two groups (P＜0.05). Conclusion: After treatment, arch width increases more in patients treated by Damon self-ligating brackets than 3M smartclip. There is no significant difference in buccal corridor width between patients treated with the Damon and 3M smartclip system. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Clinical Application of Silicone Rubber Impression Positioning Paralleling Technique HAN Chao, GAO An-tian, WANG Tie-mei, HUA Ling-chen, LI Hou-xuan, LIN Zi-tong 2019, 35(6): 611-614.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2019.06.024 Abstract ( 221 )   PDF (1355KB) ( 254 )   Objective: To explore the application of silicone rubber impression positioning paralleling technique in clinic practice. Methods: 24 periodontitis patients needed repair of periodontal bone defects and 24 endodontic patients needed root canal treatment were performed silicone rubber impression positioning paralleling technique and bisecting-angle technique respectively. The length of the tooth along the long axis of the tooth and the width of tooth at enamelo-cemental junction were measured on the digital periapical radiograph,which were divided into anterior teeth + maxillary molar group and mandibular molar group. Paired t test and reliability test was used to compare the differences and correlations of the periapical radiograph before and after treatment, SPSS 22.0 was used for analysis. Results: Although there was no significant differences of the length and width on periapical radiograph before and after treatment using paired t-test(P>0.05), compared with the bisecting-angle technique, the silicone rubber impression positioning paralleling technique showed stronger correlation, which suggested silicone rubber impression positioning paralleling technique was more stable. Conclusion: The silicone rubber impression positioning paralleling technique is reliable, stable, and relatively simple technique. It is suitable for the diagnosis and analysis of various dental diseases requiring longitudinal quantitative comparison. References | Related Articles | Metrics
