Objective To study the apoptosis activity of the basal cells during the growth and development of rats, and iNOS, Fas expression and the regularities of distribution in this process. Methods SPF grade SD male rats were divided into seven groups (4, 8, 16, 32, 48, 64,128d). TUNEL method and immunohistochemical S-ABC method were used to detect temporal and spatial characteristics of the apoptotic pathways and correlation between each way. Results Yellow fluorescent TUNEL cartilage cell apoptosis can be seen in each group. 4d,8d,16d after birth, a small amount of cell apoptosis appeared in the hypertrophic zone and the junctional zone of the synchondrosis and the number of cells increased with the time went by. iNOS mainly expressed in the quiescent zone and the proliferative zone. Fas existed in almost every period of each layer of cartilage joint and expressed more in the hypertrophic zone and the junctional zone. Conclusion The growth and development of synchondrosis is closely linked with chondrocyte apoptosis. There were two pathways in the synchondrosis. Fas pathway plays a leading role while mitochondrion pathway is more significant to the growth in quiescent zone and proliferative zone.

Objective To compare the influence of implants with different diameters and lengths on the stress distribution of implant - bone interface. Methods According to the different lengths and diameters of the implant,, fully three-dimensional finite element model was established. The 3 I implant system used as reference, 3D entity model including the implant, corresponding abutment and dental crowns was drawn with Solidworks 3D cartography software. The group for size analysis consisted of 16 implant model with the cross combination of the different lengths which were set to 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm and the different diameters set to 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm, 3.5 mm, 5.0 mm. Take vertical and oblique loading on each model, and compare Von Mises stress distribution and the trend of stress changes of each model with Ansys Workbench13.0. Results Under each loading, the Von Mises stress of implant-bone interface in all models concentrated in the cortical bone around the neck of implant and cancellous bone area of the root tip. With the increase of implant length, stress concentration in the cancellous bone area of the root tip slowly declined while with the increase of the diameter, the stress concentration decreased significantly. Conclusion Both diameter and length have an influence on the stress concentration of implant - bone interface. The longer the diameter and the length, the smaller the stress concentration. Compared with length, diameter has a more significant influence.

[Abstract] Objective To study the clinical efficacy of reduction and fixation of the traumatic embedded dislocation of young permanent anterior teeth. Methods 39 embedded dislocated young permanent teeth selected from 26 cases from August 2009 to June 2012 were set as the treatment group and they were treated according to the properties of different types. (1)When the embedded depth was ≤ 2mm,the teeth were reset to the original intercuspal position and fixed;(2)When the embedded depth was>2mm , and there were multiple fractures in alveolar fossa and the loosening of teeth, the teeth were fixed in situ; 3)When the embedded depth was>2mm ,and the teeth were locked in alveolar cavity and there was no loosening, the teeth were reset 1mm and then fixed.41 embedded dislocated young permanent teeth were fixed in situ and set as the control group. Results After 1 and half years of clinical observation, the retention rate of the treatment group was about 87.18% and the vital pulp rate was 43.59% while the rates in control group were respectively 58.54% and 24.39%. The retention rate and the vital pulp rate in treatment group were obviously higher than in control group. Conclusion Adopting different methods of reduction and fixation according to different embedded depths and the surrounding alveolar bone is a more effective way to treat the traumatic embedded dislocation of young permanent anterior teeth. It can more effectively keep the teeth and the vital pulp.

Objective To study the effects of the different concentrations of tea polyphenols and grapefruit-seed extract mixtures on water- insoluble glucan of Streptococcus mutans (S.mutans), and to further explore the cariostatic mechanism of S.mutans in order to provide much more profitable experimental proof for the clinical practice of the mixture. Methods The 4 mixtures(1/2、1/4、1/8、1/16 MIC) of TP and GSE sub-MIC were cultivated with S.mutans. The supernatant was collected and to measure the content of extracellular polysaccharide with anthrone method. Results The content of water insoluble glucan of S.mutans decreased gradually when the concentrations of TP and GSE mixtures increased. However, in terms of water soluble glucan content, compared with control group, only the experimental group with the highest concentration showed obvious difference (P<0.05). Conclusion The mixture of TP and GSE can effectively inhibit WIG of S.mutans, but it has no obvious inhibitory effect on water-soluble polysaccharide of S.mutans.

Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of pure titanium discs treated with hydrogen peroxide and heat on attachment, proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells of mice. Methods Sandblasted, dual acid-etched titanium discs were set as control group, whereas sandblasted, acid-etched and hydrogen peroxide and heat treated titanium discs were as test group. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used for surface characterization. Pre-osteoblasts MC3T3-E1 were seeded on these discs in 2 groups, and then early cell attachment, cell proliferation and cell differentiation were evaluated. Results SEM analysis showed that the titanium discs in the 2 groups both had roughened surfaces with porous network structure. However, XRD examination indicated that anatase only covered on the surfaces in the test group. Early attachment of osteoblasts was much stimulated by the titanium discs in the test group (P<0.05). Besides cell proliferation on the surfaces of titanium discs was faster in the test group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin production on surfaces of titanium discs were dramatically elevated in the test group, whether in protein level or in transcriptional level. Conclusions Sandblasted, acid-etched and hydrogen peroxide and heat treated pure titanium implants are prone to integrate with surrounding bone tissue.
