Objective To investigate the effect of Hydroxycamptothecin on the proliferation,apoptosis,migration and distribution of the cellcycle in FaDu after exposed to HCPT. Methods Human pharyngeal squamous carcinoma cell line FaDu was cultivated. The growth inhibition was evaluated by MTT assay and the migration was measured by Transwell migration assay. The apoptosis and the cell cycle distribution were detected by flow cytometry after the treatment with HCPT. Results MTT and Transwell experiments showed that certain concentration of HCPT could effectively inhibit the growth and migration of cell line FaDu. According to the results of flow cytometry,the cell cycle was arrested in S phase and apoptosis was obviously induced after treated with HCPT(80ng/ml).Conclusions HCPT can inhibit the growth and migration of cell line FaDu and induce its apoptosis. HCPT induced apoptosis of the cell cycle in FaDu is probably connected with its effect on the cell cycle of FaDu.

Objective To detect the expression levels of SMAD4 in Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma (TSCC) and analyze its correlation with cellular differentiation degree and lymph node metastasis. Methods 8 cases of normal oral mucosa paraffin specimens, 38 cases of TSCC paraffin specimens were collected in the present experiment. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression levels of SMAD4 in normal and TSCC tissues. Results SMAD4 protein in squamous cell carcinoma tissues showed lower expression level than in normal tongue mucosa tissues(P <0.05). Well differentiated TSCC and moderately or poorly differentiated TSCC had no significant difference in overall expression levels of SMAD4 protein(P>0.05). But the SMAD4 expression in nuclei of the cells in well differentiated TSCC group was higher than that in moderately or poorly differentiated TSCC group(P<0.05). SMAD4 expression in nuclei of the cells in non- metastatic TSCC group was higher than that in metastatic TSCC, especially in moderately or poorly differentiated TSCC group (P <0.05). Conclusion The expression level of SMAD4 in TSCC , especially in nuclei of the cells correlates with differentiation levels of TSCC cells and tumor metastasis.

Objective No universally accepted classification exists for intracapsular condyle fractures (ICF). In this study we proposed a new classification based on the concept of “disc-condyle” unit and aimed to validate the feasibility and clinical values of this classification. Methods From 2010 to 2014, adult patients with unilateral intracapsular fractures were included and classified into three types. Type A was defined by reduction of the mandibular height with or without disc displacement. Type B had disc displacement without mandibular height reduction. Type C had no mandibular height reduction nor disc displacement. Open reduction and fixation treatment was performed for both type A and B fractures, while type C fractures were managed nonsurgically. CT, MRI, and function examination were conducted to evaluate patients’ prognosis and the clinical values of the new classification. Results There were 55 patients included in this study, 31 with type A,17 with type B,7 with type C. In the 6-month follow-up, no differences in vertical ramus height, mandibular deviation, protrusion and lateral protrusion were observed between the fractured and healthy sides. All patients had normal occlusion and functional recovery post-operatively and only one patient in type A was reported to have pain in the joint area. MRI and CT examination showed good osseous healing and disc-condylar relationship in all cases. Conclusions This study shows the effectiveness of the new classification, and the importance and the necessity to recover the position of the articular disc in the treatment and prognosis of ICFs.

Objective Complete removal of submandibular gland including the tumor is the main operation method of benign submandibular gland tumors. This paper aims to establish a gland-preserving operation for benign tumors of the submandibular gland and evaluate its efficacy. Methods  40 patients with benign submandibular gland tumors treated in our department from January 2007 to December 2008 were randomly divided into two groups: the gland was completely removed in one group and partially preserved in the other one.. Duration of operation, extent of injury to the nerve, postoperative function of the gland, aesthetic appearance, and recurrence of the two groups were assessed and compared. Results  There was no significant difference in baseline characteristics among patients in two groups. The extents of injury to the nerve, together with deformities of the facial contour, were significantly less in the group in which the gland was preserved than in which the gland was completely removed. Postoperative gland secretive function and overall patients’ satisfaction were better in the former group. There was no recurrence in either group during the follow up period of 38 months–5 years. Conclusions The gland-preserving procedure has advantages over the typical approach in which the gland is sacrificed. There is less risk of injury to the nerve, less deformity of the facial contour, and better preservation of gland function, and patients are more satisfied. The gland-preserving technique can therefore be the first choice for management of benign submandibular tumors.

With the continuous improvement of living quality, the general public is not satisfied with just aligned and healthy teeth but also in search of a more pleasure and comfortable way to align teeth. This trend is more obvious in adults who seek orthodontic treatment. They view orthodontics with clear aligner as their preferred choice. When comparing with the classic brackets and wire treatment method, clear aligners employ a series of transparent and self-removable plastic aligners to align teeth and treat malocclusion. However, in the treatment process, there is a lag between the intended amount of teeth movement and the amount actually delivered, which causes a treatment efficacy issue. In order to facilitate the patient selection and the design of treatment involving clear aligners, this article reviews literatures concerning the efficacy of Invisalign when used to deliver a series of tooth movement including extrusion, intrusion, rotation, tipping movement ,expansion arch and molar distalization.
