BACKGROUND:Nanosilver has significant antibacterial properties, and nanohydroxyapatite has good biological activity and mechanical strength, while their mixture cannot only promote bone formation but also have antibacterial properties. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of nanosilver and nanohydroxyapatite mixed filing on the osseointegration of immediate implants. METHODS: Nine New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into experimental group (n=6) and control group (n=3) after four incisors from the upper and lower jaw were extracted. The mixture of nanosilver and nanohydroxyapatite was filed into the tooth socket in the experimental group, while nanohydroxyapatite was filed into the tooth socket in the control group. Titanium screw was immediately implanted into both groups. The intact maxila and mandibular specimens were harvested at the 4th, 8th, and 12th weeks after operation. Gross observation, X-ray bone density analysis, torque test and histological observation were conducted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The gray value and maximum torque value of regenerated osseous tissue at different time points in experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Within 12 weeks of implantation, the bone formation rate and maturity of new bone tissue were higher in the experimental group compared with the control group, and no inflammatory cel infiltration occurred. At the 4th week after implantation, there was a large amount of inflammatory cel infiltration, and few inflammatory existed at the 8th week after implantation. These results demonstrate that compared with nanohydroxyapatite alone, the mixture of nanosilver and nanohydroxyapatite shows better antibacterial effect, biocompatibility and osteoinductive ability, which may accelerate osseointegration and promote osteogenesis.

Objective Study the fecal flora diversity of the tree shrew , to provide a basis data of fecal bacteria of feeding the tree shrew .Methods Ten tree shrews were used in this study .The Stools of the animals were respectively cultured with oxygen and without oxygen to isolate the bacterial .Then the PCR-amplified 16S rRNA of the bacterial was sequenced and analyzed .Results 25 bacterial strains belonging to ten bacterial species were isolated by anaerobic incubation , and 25 bacterial strains belonging to twelve bacterial species were isolated by aerobic incubation .Proteus vulgaris, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia fergusonii, Enterococcus faecium, Shigella flexneri, Shigella sonnei, Staphylococcus aureus , Aeromonas salmonicida subsp .masoucida , Rahnella aquatilis , Exiguobacterium aquaticum , Raoultella terrigena , and Escherichia coli were identified in this study .Conclusions There is a fecal flora diversity of the tree shrew, and the Proteus vulgaris , Escherichia fergusonii and Enterococcus faecium may be the major parasitic flora .
