    pIgR/sIgA and Oral Diseases
    LIU Jianguo, ZHAO Yujie
    2021, 37(8): 677-681.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2021.08.001
    Abstract ( 234 )   PDF (1395KB) ( 416 )  
    The mucosal immune system is the first line of defense against all kinds of antigens. The oral cavity is protected by the mucosal immune system. The sIgA in saliva is essential to protect the transmission of oral mucosal pathogens and maintain the homeostasis of oral mucosal surface. As a special transporter protein, polymer immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) is a key participant in the formation and secretion of sIgA. In oral mucosal immunity, pIgR plays an important role in the defense of oral bacteria. Reducing the expression of pIgR in submandibular gland will inhibit the secretion of sIgA into saliva, and lower levels of sIgA in saliva make it easier for bacteria to enter the epithelial surface, leading to a variety of diseases. This article reviews the function of pIgR/sIgA in oral diseases and its immune regulation mechanism, in order to provide more research ideas for the study of pIgR/sIgA in oral microenvironment.

    Abstract ( 163 )   PDF (1659KB) ( 193 )  
    Objective: To compare the clinical effects of direct filling with SDR resin and indirect repair of non-carious cervical lesion with Ceramage polymer ceramic inlays. Methods: 52 patients with bilateral symmetric non-carious cervical lesion in mandibular first premolar with wear index Ⅲ in the Department of Stomatology of our hospital were selected from September 2018 to August 2019. Each pair of the defects was randomly divided into group A and group B. The two groups were respectively filled with SDR resin and repaired with Ceramage polymer ceramic inlay. After 1 month, 3 months, and 12 months, the clinical effects of these two methods were evaluated by checking the defects of the filling body, the degree of edge coloration, the degree of edge tightness, and the tooth sensitivity after operation. Results: 12 months after filling, there was no loss or defect in the two restorations. The difference of marginal tightness between two restorations after 12 months of filling was not statistically significant (P>0.05), however, the difference of edge staining degree was statistically significant (P<0.05). The edge coloring degree of group B was lighter than group A. The sensitivity of two groups of teeth after 1 month of filling was statistically significant (P<0.05), in which the sensitivity of group B was lower than that of group A. Conclusion: Both Ceramage polymer ceramic inlay and SDR resin are ideal materials for repairing non-carious cervical lesion. The postoperative edge coloring process and postoperative sensitivity rate of Ceramage polymer ceramic inlays were better than those of SDR resin direct filling.

    Objective: To explore the spatio-temporal variational rules of electric signal in palate development of C57BL/6J mice, and assess the membrane potential changes of palate after selective inhibited KATP channel. Methods: DiBAC4(3) was used to trace the electric signal of embryonic palate through conversion from biological signal to optical signal with histological examination. Then the embryonic palate was cultured in vitro and treated with a selective K(ATP) channel inhibitor (HMR1098) for 24, 48, and 72 hours. The expression levels of TGF-β3 during palatogenesis were examined by immunohistochemistry analysis. Results: The oral, nasal, and medial edge epithelium existed obvious electrical signal during the four palatal development phases. The electrical signal intensity of medial edge epithelium decreased gradually along with palatogenesis. After treated by HMR1098, the palatal process could still elevate, contact, and fuse in vitro, however, the form of palatal process was slenderer and sharper. The TGF-β3 was strongly expressed in the oral, nasal, and medial edge epithelium after treated for 24h. With the increase of the HMR1098 treatment time, the expression of TGF-β3 trended to decline, eventually disappear. Conclusion: There were spatio-temporal variation of electric signal during palatogenesis, and the endogenous electrical fields affected the development of palate.
