Research Progress of Porphyromonas Gingivalis Promoting Cardiovascular Disease WU Qinrui, PENG Xian 2022, 38(2): 108-112.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2022.02.003 Abstract ( 272 )   PDF (1381KB) ( 482 )   Chronic periodontitis and cardiovascular disease are two common chronic inflammatory diseases in today's society, which are affected by a variety of risk factors. Epidemiological investigations found that chronic periodontitis is closely related to increased cardiovascular disease risk. Porphyromonas gingivalis colonized in the gingival sulcus of chronic periodontitis patients could invade cardiovascular tissues through bacteremia and phagocyte-mediated pathways and secrete virulence factors. By triggering endotoxemia, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, foam cell formation and lipid accumulation, vascular remodeling, plaque rupture and thrombosis, it leads to serious cardiovascular end-events. The study on the specific ways that Porphyromonas gingivalis affects cardiovascular disease provides a new method for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, thereby reducing the burden of disease in society.

Methods: The geometric models of cylindrical and tapered implants were established by using relevant software. The implants were implanted into class Ⅱ and class Ⅲ jaw models at the angles of 0°, 10°, 20°, and 30° respectively, and the two-stage individualized abutment with corresponding angles was used for restoration. The models were loaded by simulating three stress states. The peak stress and stress distribution were observed. Results: The stress of each component of the denture and the surrounding bone increased with the increasing of implant angle. Under the same load condition, the peak stress around the implant in class Ⅱ bone was significantly smaller than that in class Ⅲ bone. The peak stress in the columnar implant group was smaller than that in the tapered implant group, while that in the surrounding bone and the upper Ti-base stress was relatively larger. Conclusion: The direction of the implant had better be aligned with the axis of natural tooth to reduce the adverse effects of lateral force. Class Ⅱ bone was more conducive to disperse the stress than class Ⅲ bone. The tapered implant was beneficial to disperse the stress and help to protect the surrounding bone tissue, however, it was more prone to mechanical complications than the cylindrical implant.

Methods: PRF membrane was prepared. Scanning electron microscope and histopathology were used to observe the ultrastructure. CCK-8 and transwell test was used to detect cell proliferation and migration ability. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of soft tissue healing marker genes COL-I and TGF-β at different time points. HE staining and immunohistochemistry were used to observe tissue healing at different time points, and qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of inflammatory factors IL-6, TNF-α, and TGF-β. Results: PRF could promote the proliferation, healing, and migration of human gingival fibroblast after trauma (P<0.05). The expressions of COL-I and TGF-β in the PRF group were higher than those in the DMEM group on day 7 (P< 0.05). The healing effect of PRF group was better than that of the control group. Histological observations showed that the PRF group had less inflammatory cell infiltration than the control group, and the PRF group had more angiogenesis than the control group. On day 7 after operation, the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in the control group was higher than that in the PRF group, and the expression of TGF-β in the control group was lower than that of the PRF group (P<0.05). VEGF immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of positive cells in the PRF group was earlier than that in the control group. Conclusion: PRF can promote the expression of COL-I, TGF-β, and VEGF in the gums, reduce the local inflammation, and accelerate tissue healing. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods: A three-dimensional finite element model of a short-implants-assisted removable partial denture was established to restore Kennedy class Ⅰ dentition defect, and nine experimental group models were constructed according to the implant positions (position A: the second premolar area, position B: the first molar area, position C: the second molar area) and attachment types (Brevis, Locator, and Magfit). A removable partial denture model was established as the control. The stress distribution of each component was analyzed, and the maximum von Mises stress values and displacement values were recorded. Results: Three-dimensional finite element models of short implant-assisted removable partial denture were established. Under vertical and oblique loads, the denture displacement was greater in the RPD group than in the experimental groups; under oblique loads, the denture displacement was greater in the Magfit groups than in the Brevis and Locator groups, while the implant-bone interface stress was smaller and the mucosa stress and cortical bone stress around the short implant were greater; the implant-bone interface stress and short implant stress were smaller, and the short implant stress was greater when the short implant was located at position C. Conclusion: Short implants-assisted removable partial dentures can significantly improve the retention and stability of the denture, and magnetic attachments are more beneficial to the long-term success of short implants. Position C is better suited for dispersion of occlusal forces. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods: Osteoporosis mouse model was established. OP-ASCs were isolated and cultured in vitro. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 method after using different concentrations of PSP to intervene in OP-ASCs. Osteogenic capacity was analyzed by western-blot, real-time PCR, and ALP staining at day 3 and 5 after osteogenic differentiation in PSP-intervened OP-ASCs. Results: When the concentration of PSP was 5, 10, 25, and 50 mg/L, the proliferation of OP-ASCs was not significantly affected on day 3 and 5 (P>0.05). Western-blot and real-time PCR results showed that Runx2, OPN, β-catenin, P-GSK-3β protein and Runx2, Opn, β-catenin gene expression in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). ALP staining showed that the osteogenic effect was significantly higher than the control group. Conclusion: PSP can enhance osteogenic differentiation of OP-ASCs, which may be achieved by up-regulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Effects of Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibitor on Proliferation and Osteogenic Differentiation of Stem Cells from Apical Papilla in Inflammatory Environment DANG Haixia, WANG Fu, CHEN Lan, WANG Yulin, ZHOU Zhiqiang 2022, 38(2): 164-168.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2022.02.014 Abstract ( 168 )   PDF (2058KB) ( 212 )   Objective: To investigate the effect of TPPU on proliferation and differentiation of hSCAPs in the inflammatory microenvironment. Methods: hSCAPs were cultured and identified by flow cytometry and alizarin red staining. The hSCAPs were treated with 1 mg/mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to simulate the inflammatory microenvironment, and then treated with TPPU. The CCK-8 method was used to study whether TPPU had an effect on the proliferation ability of hSCAPs on the first 1, 3, 5, and 7 days. After 24 hours cultivation, the expressions of inflammation-related factors were detected by qRT-PCR. On the day 7 and 12, the expression levels of genes related to osteogenic differentiation were detected by qRT-PCR. On the day 7, ALP activity was analyzed by staining. On day 21, the formation of mineralized nodules was observed by alizarin red staining. Results: hSCAPs were confirmed by flow cytometry and alizarin red staining. CCK-8 results showed that there was no significant difference in OD value between hSCAPs. The expression of IL-1β and IL-6 of hSCAPs induced by LPS was significantly up-regulated compared with the vehicle group (P<0.05). Compared with the LPS group, the expression of IL-1β and IL6 in LPS+TPPU group was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05), but the expression levels of osteogenic genes in LPS+TPPU group were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05). ALP staining and alizarin red staining showed that the TPPU treated groups had deeper staining than LPS groups. Conclusion: TPPU can inhibit the expression of inflammatory factors in inflammatory microenvironment. TPPU may not promote the proliferation, but promote the tooth/osteogenic differentiation of hSCAP in inflammatory microenvironment. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods: A defined concentration of SIRT1 activator (SRT1720) and inhibitor (EX527) is 0.5 μmol/L. Then SRT1720 and EX527 were added to the experiment groups for preconditioning 3 days. We investigated the effects of SIRT1 on the osteogenic differentiation of SHEDs. Expression of osteoblastic differentiation markers was assessed by RT-PCR. Results: Activation of SIRT1 using SRT1720 increased the expression of osteoblastic differentiation markers, as assessed by alkaline phosphatase, Runt-related transcription factor-2, osteopontin, collagen type Iα1, and osteocalcin. In contrast, inhibition of SIRT1 using EX527 suppressed the expression of above-mentioned factors. Conclusion: SIRT1 is a key regulator of differentiation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth. SIRT1 also regulated the expression of PPAR-γ. The SIRT1/PPAR-γ pathway may be crucial for enhancement of osteogenesis. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods: Fourteen cases of MAJ from 2006 to 2020 were collected. The clinical and CT features were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The primary sites were lung (n=6), liver (n=4), kidney (n=2), prostate (n=1), and cardia (n=1). CT manifestations were classified as 5/14 osteolytic type with permeative destruction margin, 4/14 mixed type mostly with moth-eaten destruction margin, 3/14 cystic type and 1/14 alveolar bone resorption type with geographic destruction margin, and 1/14 osteoblastic type with sclerotic destruction margin. Conclusion: MAJ usually occurs in the middle-aged and elderly men, especially in the posterior part of mandible. It is the first time to add the cystic type and alveolar bone resorption type on the basis of classical classification. MAJ is characterized by rapidly progressive osteolytic bone destruction with periosteal reaction and localized soft tissue mass without jaw expansion, which plays an important role in differential diagnosis.

Hyperplastic dental follicles are entities with few cases described to date, and most of them are accompanied with impacted teeth. This case report presented a deeply impacted mandibular second molar with hyperplastic dental follicle, and the roots of the tooth adjoined the lower margin of the mandible. A minimally invasive surgical procedure was performed to extract the tooth and curettage the dental follicle, which came to a favorable prognosis. References | Related Articles | Metrics
