Objective:To explore the osteogenic effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) in three-dimensional culture conditions in Matrigel hydrogel to provide theoretical basis for tissue engineering bone repair of alveolar process fractures.Methods:This study was performed in the Laboratory of Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center in June 2019. The fourth generation of ADSCs were used to adjust the cell density to 1×10 5/mL. Two-dimensional common culture media (group A) and two-dimensional osteogenic induction media (group B) were used. The ADSCs were encapsulated in hydrogel with osteogenic induction media (group C), and the proliferation of cells was detected by CCK8 method. The cell mineralization effect was detected by alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase activity. The expression levels of osteocalcin (OCN) and osteopontin (OPN) were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot assay. Results:ADSCs were encapsulated in hydrogel. The results of CCK8 kit showed that ADSCs could stably proliferate under the three-dimensional culture. The alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase activity of ADSCs under three-dimensional culture conditions were significantly higher than those of two-dimensional condition. In the detection of Western blotting and RT-PCR, we found that the expression of osteogenic protein and mRNA (OCN and OPN) of ADSCs in three-dimensional culture was also higher than that of two-dimensional culture.Conclusions:The encapsulation of ADSCs in hydrogel does not affect the proliferative potential of stem cells, and 3D cultured stem cells can significantly enhance their osteogenesis in vitro.

Objective To evaluate the role of microRNA130α on rat bone mesenchymal stromal cells(BMSCs)during chondrogenic differentiation.Methods BMSCs were induced to differentiate into chondroeytes by transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)in vitro,immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry were performed to evaluate MSCs differentiation.RT-PCR was performed to analyze microRNA130α expression at different time points.Results microRNA130α was down-modulated during chondrogenesis after BMSCs been cultured with TGF-β1 for 7 days (P ＜0.05).Conclusion During the early stage of BMSC chondrogenic differentiation,mciroRNA130a expression was specifically repressed,suggesting its role in differentiation of rat bone mesenchymal stromal cells.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of pendulum and straight wire technology in patients with fully erupted second molar.MethodsPatients with Angle class Ⅱ malocclusion were chosen.Control group included patients without erupted second molar.Experimental group included patients with completely erupted second molar.Pendulums were used in two groups to distalize maxillary molars.Then straight wire orthodontic treatment had been performed until treatment was over.Cephalograms of each stage were analyzed.ResultsIn the experimental group,mesiobuccal cusp of first molar was distalized for 4.62 mm,geometric center was distalized for 3.75 mm,about 81 percent of the movement of mesiobuccal cusp.In control group,mesiobuccal cusp of first molar was dis talized for 5.78 mm,geometric center was distalized for 3.20 mm,about 55 percent of the movement of mesiobuccal cusp.It turned out first molar was distalized in both groups,but more rotation took place in control group than that in the experimental group.ConclusionsPendulum can distalize maxillary first and second molars in patients with completely erupted second molar.The pendulum and straight wire technology can treat these patients successfully.

Objective To investigate the effects of titanium miniplates used for anchorage between the maxilla and the mandible for maxilly hypoplasia in cleft patients.Methods Miniplates were inserted into the infrazygomatic crests and between the canine and lateral incisor in the mandible on both the right and left sides in 6 subjects (mean age,11.3 years).Maxillomandibular elastics were attached between the upper and lower miniplates on each side.Cephalometric radiographs of each patient were evaluated at the beginning of treatment and at the end of active protraction treatment.Results A-point movement was increased mean 3.67 mm,SNA angle and ANB angle were increased by 2.75° and 3.1° respectively.Wit's appraisal was increased by 4.52 mm,and upper lip to E-plane was decreased mean 2.8 mm in a mean of 15 months and the significant difference was found (P＜0.05).Miniplates stability was excellent in all patients throughout treatment.Conclusions Remarkable advancement in the middle face and consequent fullness in the soft-tissue profile can be achieved by using titanium miniplates protraction for maxilly hypoplasia in cleft patients in the late mixed-dentition and initial stage of permanent dentition period.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical features, diagnosis and prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss accompanied with inner ear hemorrhage.

METHODSEleven cases of sudden sensorineural hearing loss accompanied with inner ear hemorrhage were retrospectively analyzed, including clinical manifestation, hematological and audiological examinations, as well as characteristics of inner ear three-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging (3D-FLAIR MRI).

RESULTSEleven cases of sudden hearing loss with inner ear hemorrhage were accompanied by varying degrees of vertigo, lasting from several minutes to several hours, nine of whom had persistent tinnitus. The audiometry curves of the 11 cases included total deafness or flat descending type. The inner ear 3D-FLAIR MRI studies revealed abnormal high signals at different positions of the inner ear, one case with endolymphatic hydrops. After the treatment, seven cases were invalid, two cases had notable effect, and two cases were effective.

CONCLUSIONSAbnormal high signals in the inner ear were sensitively detected by 3D-FLAIR MRI sequence, which was applied for the diagnosis of the sudden hearing loss accompanied with inner ear hemorrhage. The effect of conventional treatment was not good and the appropriate treatments for this type of sudden hearing loss need further investigation.

Objective: To investigate the role of the bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2)⁃Smad1/5 and p38MAPK signaling pathways in the osteogenic differentiation of MSMSCs by insulin⁃like growth factor 1 (IGF1). Methods : A re⁃ combinant adenovirus (RAD) and IGF1 expressing IGF1 gene were constructed. After osteogenic induction, qRT⁃PCR and Western blot were used to detect the phosphorylation level of Smad1/5 and the expression of the BMP⁃2 protein in the BMP⁃Smad signaling pathway; immunohistochemistry was used to observe the nuclear translocation of Smad1/5; qRT⁃PCR and Western blot were used to detect IGF with Noggin and SB203580, inhibitors of the p38MAPK signaling path⁃ way 1⁃mediated osteogenic differentiation of MSMSCs Results: The recombinant IGF1 adenovirus was constructed suc⁃ cessfully. MSMSCs were cultured in inductive medium after infection with different concentrations of Ad⁃IGF1, and then, the protein levels of BMP2 and p⁃Smad1/5 increased. IGF1 can also induce nuclear translocation of Smad1/5. In addition, Noggin significantly reduced the phosphorylation level of Smad1/5 and the formation of mineralized nodules in the MSMSCs. The mRNA levels of Runx2, OPN and ALP also decreased. In contrast, SB203580 decreased neither the phosphorylation level of p38 nor the mRNA expression of Runx2, OPN and ALP in the Ad⁃IGF1 MSMSCs Conclu⁃sion IGF1 can promote the osteogenic differentiation of MSMSCs via the BMP2⁃Smad1/5 signaling pathway. In con⁃ trast, IGF1 may not promote the osteogenic differentiation of MSMSCs via the p38MAPK signaling pathway.
