Modulation of Osteoimmune Microenvironment by Adding Bioactive Elements to Implants Surface FU Wenqi, LIU Huiying 2020, 36(10): 908-911.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2020.10.005 Abstract ( 296 )   PDF (769KB) ( 234 )   Osteoimmune microenvironment has profound influence on initial osseointegration, which is closely related to implants surface characteristics. The high diversity and plasticity of immune cells make it possible to manipulate the immune cells response and cytokines expression, thus modulating the osteoimmune microenvironment. Modified by the bioactive elements, such as Zn, Sr, Si, the implants surface can stimulate the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and increase the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines in immune cells. Based on these complex interactions, this review discusses the strategies by adding bioactive elements to implants surface and highlights the possible underlying mechanisms of osteoimmunomodulation in order to guide the development of advanced implants.

Plumbagin Induces Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells Apoptosis via ROS-mediated JNK Signaling Pathway ZHOU Qun, QIU Jiaxuan 2020, 36(10): 921-924.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2020.10.008 Abstract ( 224 )   PDF (922KB) ( 242 )   Objective: To explore the underlying molecular mechanisms of plumbagin-induced apoptosis of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells. Methods: The effect of plumbagin on cell proliferation was determined by CCK-8 assay. Cell apoptosis and the expression of cellular ROS generation were measured by flow cytometry. Protein levels of Bcl-2, Bax, and p-JNK were evaluated by Western blot. Results: CCK-8 assay showed that plumbagin significantly inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.001). The results of flow cytometer suggested that plumbagin markedly increased cell apoptosis and ROS generation. Western blot showed that the expression of Bax increased, while the expression of Bcl-2 decreased after plumbagin treatment. In a time-dependent manner, plumbagin up-regulated the expressions of p-JNK (P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001). However, the ROS inhibitor NAC significantly reversed the expression level of p-JNK and cell apoptosis(P<0.001,P<0.001). Conclusion: Plumbagin had excellent anti-proliferation effects on tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells. In addition, plumbagin induced cell apoptosis through ROS-mediated JNK pathway.

Remodeling Pattern of Mandible after “All-on-4” Immediate Fixed Rehabilitation: A Radiographic Study JIA Shengnan, DI Ping, LIN Ye 2020, 36(10): 957-961.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2020.10.016 Abstract ( 217 )   PDF (1148KB) ( 180 )   Objective: To investigate the pattern of mandible remodeling after “All-on-4” immediate fixed rehabilitation and its influential factors. Methods: 30 patients rehabilitated with “All-on-4” implant-supported fixed restorations were studied. All patients were followed-up for more than 1 year. Panoramic radiographs (OPT) were taken after the completion of prosthetic restoration and during the follow-up period. The samples were investigated by 2-dimensional radiological retrospective analysis. 7 sites on the mandible were marked (M: mid-line site; ML/MR: the sites between two implants on the same side; L1/R1: molar sites; L2/R2: retromolar sites) based on the anatomical landmarks and the locations of implants on the OPTs. The vertical bone heights were measured and the average annual bone resorption rates were calculated on these 7 sites. Correlation analysis was conducted for age, gender, initial mandibular height, and chewing force, respectively. Results: Bone resorption was observed on sites ML, M, and MR [ML:(-0.02±0.33) mm/year;M:(-0.15±0.27) mm/year;MR:(-0.02±0.22) mm/year]. Bone augment was discovered at L1/R1 [L1: (0.25±0.57) mm/year, R1: (0.21±0.61) mm/year]. While slight alveolar height increments were recorded at L2/R2 [L2: (0.07±0.580 mm/year, R2: (0.01±0.52) mm/year]. Furthermore, chewing force was positively correlated with the height changes at site L1/R1 (P<0.05). Conclusion: “All-on-4” immediate fixed rehabilitation may change the mandible remodeling pattern. Placing implants between the mental foramen contributes to the lower resorption rate in the area between mental foramen and fixed rehabilitation contributes to the increments of vertical bone height at the molar sites of the mandible.

Effects of Ridge Preservation with Different Membrane Techniques after Extraction of Severe Periodontitis Related Teeth ZHANG Hexin, LI Xinyue 2020, 36(10): 962-967.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2020.10.017 Abstract ( 266 )   PDF (3710KB) ( 325 )   Objective: To compare the clinical effects of different treatment techniques of ridge preservation following tooth extraction in patients with severe periodontitis. Methods: A total of 21 hopeless teeth diagnosed with severe periodontitis at our institution were included. Tooth extraction and ridge preservation were operated in each socket. All sockets were grafted with Bio-Oss after tooth extraction. They were divided into three groups by covering different membranes: Bio-Gide group, PRF group, and Bio-Gide+PRF group. Clinical and radiographic examinations were carried out pre operation, 3 and 6 months post-operation. Keratinized tissue width (KTW) and gingival recession (GR) of adjacent tooth were measured. Adjacent bone height (ABH) and socket depth (SD) were measured using parallel projection of apical radiographs. Buccal-lingual bone width (BLW) was measured using CBCT. Results: There was no significant difference at GR and ABH among three groups 6 months post-operation (P>0.05). Compared to pre-operative parameters, after 6 months, SD values of 3 groups had significant change (P＜0.05). Only BLW result of PRF group became worse after surgery (P<0.05). After surgery, the values of KTW from high to low were as follows: Bio-Oss+PRF group, Bio-Oss+Bio-Gide+PRF group, and Bio-Oss+Bio-Gide group. Conclusion: All techniques following tooth extraction in advanced periodontitis patients can effectively maintain the adjacent alveolar bone height and reduce the further recession of soft tissue. Covering Bio-Gide+PRF membrane after Bio-Oss grafting is more beneficial to maintain the width of buccal-lingual alveolar bone and has advantages of promoting soft tissue healing and preserving sufficient keratinized gingiva.
