BACKGROUND: There are various methods for management of allogeneic bone, xenogeneic bone and various tissue engineered materials, but there is no ideal method for treatment of insufficient bone mass following jaw defects. OBJECTIVE: To observe the repair efficiency of bone composite and biomembrane following large mandibular defect and mandibular defect combined with tooth luxation in animal studies. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The controlled observational animal study was performed at the Animal Laboratory of Zhejiang University from March to July 2006. MATERIALS: The mixed proportion of Bio-oss material and autologous bone powder was 1:1. The proportion of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 freeze-dry powder dissolved in autologous fresh blood was 0.25 mg:1 mL. Bone powder mixture was moistened by blood containing human bone morphogenetic protein to stick on the medicine spoon for moulding easily. METHODS: Ten New Zealand rabbits were selected. Consecutive bone defects (15 mm×6 mm×5 mm) were made in the inferior border of bilateral mandible body. Bone composite and Bio-gide membrane were randomly implanted into one side (bone composite + Bio-gide membrane group). Another side was directly sutured as blank control group. The remaining 30 rabbits were considered bone composite + Bio-gide membrane + implantation tooth group. A bone defect (15 mm×6 mm×8 mm) was made at the upper site of inferior border of mandible, with the combination of tooth luxation. Bone composite and Bio-gide membrane were implanted, and the luxation teeth were implanted into the original site. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Implantation site, composite conjugation, loose of bone formation and implanted teeth were generally observed. New bone formation at the bone defect site was observed using radiograph and histological method. RESULTS: At 12 weeks following surgery, a bone defect, which was smaller than the original bone, was found at the mandibular defect site in the blank control group. New bones were visible in the mandibular defect site in the bone composite + Bio-gide membrane group. Radiograph demonstrated that the density of defect bone site was similar to normal bone tissue. Histological method revealed that bone implant formed board-shaped bone. No significant loose was detected in implanted teeth of 17 rabbits in the bone composite + Bio-gide membrane + implantation tooth group. Radiograph demonstrated that no transparent area was found in the root tip of 13 rabbits. Histological method showed replacement resorption in 13 rabbits. CONCLUSION: Bone composite combined with Bio-gide membrane for repairing large mandibular defect obtained good efficiency. The outcome of autologous tooth implantation is acceptable in the near future.

Objective To observe the effects of Compound Uncaria Hypotensive Tablets on expressions of MCP-1 and MMP-9 of vascular remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR); To discuss it possible mechanism of action. Methods Totally 24 12-week old male SHR were randomly divided into SHR model group, Compound Uncaria Hypotensive Tablets group, and positive medicine group, with 8 rats in each group. Another 8 WKY rats were set as normal control group. Medication groups were given relevant medicine for gavage for successive 6 weeks. Noninvasive tail cuff method was used to observe blood pressure; morphological changes in thoracic aorta and renal artery were observed by HE staining; immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein expressions of MCP-1 and MMP-9 in thoracic aortic wall. Results Protein expressions of MCP-1 and MMP-9 in thoracic aortic wall of SHR model group were significantly higher than those of normal control group (P<0.01); Compared with the SHR model group, protein expressions of MCP-1 and MMP-9 in thoracic aortic wall decreased significantly in the medication groups (P<0.05, P<0.01); Compared the Compound Uncaria Hypotensive Tablets group and positive medicine group, there was no obvious difference in protein expressions of MCP-1 and MMP-9 in thoracic aortic wall. Conclusion Compound Uncaria Hypotensive Tablets can reduce the blood pressure of SHR, reduce inflammation reaction, and regulate vascular remodeling, which mechanism may be related to down-regulation of expressions of MCP-1 and MMP-9 in SHR aortic endothelial cells.

Objective To investigate the awareness of osteoporosis and its influential factors in middle-aged and older people. Methods By using self-designed questionnaire, 354 middle-aged and old people were investigated as to their awarness of osteoporosis in Chajiao street community in Guangzhou. Among them, 58 people were measured the bone density in the calcaneal bone by Ultrasound. Results The average score of the questionnaire was 9.46 ± 5.13, and the accuracy was 39.4%. In the diagnosis and treatment, the accuracy was just 17.8%. The diet (the accuracy in 54%) and sport (the accuracy in 50.3%) were good. The statistical analyses showed the linear relationship between the T value of bone density and the age (P = 0.021), between the T value and the score (P = 0.047). Wilcoxon rank sum test found that the T value between female and male was significantly different (Z = -3.749, P < 0.000). With multiple linear regression analysis, the T value had a linear correlation with the score (F = 4.224, P = 0.045) positively. Conclusions Currently, the awareness of osteoporosis in the middle-aged and old people was inadequate. To better prevent osteoporosis, the propogation of knowledge and guidance provided by clinicians in osteoporosis should be improved necessarily and emergently.
