Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a differentiation process of epithelial cells into mesenchymals,which is widespread in the invasion and metastasis of malignant tumor.Studies show that EMT is influenced by a variety of factors such as cytokines,signaling pathways and transcription factors.Studies also show that intracellular and extracellular signal transmission could induce EMT.Signal transduction is a process which involves ligand-receptor binding in the extracellular,going into the cell and activating different nuclear transduction factor through intracellular signal transduction pathway.

Objective To investigate the influence of tooth preparation surface roughness and different dental ce-ments on adhesive strength, and provide some reference information on the selection of dental rotary instruments and dental cements. Methods Sixty dentin samples were prepared and randomly divided into 3 groups. Samples from group A, B and C were grinded by diamond burs with grit-sizes of 125μm, 60μm and 28μm respectively. Two samples selected randomly from each group were observed under scanning electron microscope (SEM) for the surface microprofile. The remaining 18 samples from each group were evenly divided into 3 subgroups. Each subgroup was teamed with one of 3 dental cements:zinc polycarboxylate cement (ZP), glass ionomer cement (GI) and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGI). Co-Cr alloy casts were cemented onto the dentin samples, and the adhesive strength was tested. Meanwhile, the types of failure were re-corded for each sample. Results The surface roughness of tooth preparation samples showed a downward trend in group A, group B and group C. Among the involved 3 dental cements, RMGI exhibited the highest adhesive strength, and there was no significant difference in the adhesive strength between ZP and GI. Among different combination subgroups, A-RMGI had the highest adhesive strength, B-RMGI run the second place, while C-ZP and C-GI were proved the lowest. However, there was no interaction between the two factors. Furthermore, group A mainly showed failure typesⅠandⅡ, group B evenly showed all the failure types and group C mainly showed failure typesⅡandⅢ. Conclusion The adhesive strength is related to the surface roughness. RMGI exhibits the highest adhesive efficiency. There is no obvious compatibility in particular surface roughness and dental cements.

Objective To evaluate effects of different types of gingival flap suture on the quality of life in patients after removal of mandibular third molar. Methods A randomized, controlled clinical trial design was adopted. Sixty-two patients in oral surgery department, Stomatology Hospital of Tianjin Medical University were selected. Patients were required removal of bilateral symmetry impacted mandibular third molars, and enclosed suture (primary suture) was used in one side, open drainage suture (secondary suture) was used in the other side. The postoperative symptom severity scale (PoSSe scale) was used to evaluate the quality of life in patients after removal of mandibular third molar. The evaluation was completed 7 days after surgery, and the scale was compared between two groups. Results A total of 57 cases of clinical data were enrolled in the final analysis. The operative time for primary suture group was (17.7±4.6) min, and the operative time for secondary su?ture group was (16.3 ± 5.1) min, the difference was not statistically significant (t=1.539, P>0.05). The PoSSe score was sig?nificantly higher in primary suture group (26.348 ± 12.414) than that of secondary suture group (21.633 ± 11.382, P<0.05). Conclusion Secondary suture reduces the influence of teeth removal on quality of life in patients through relieving pain and swelling, and which is suitable for clinical application.

In the two groups, conventional internal treatment was given to all patients, and in the treatment group, additionally the Qishen Tongluo Zengzhi decoction was administered orally(composition: astragalus membranaceus 30 g, radix pseudostellariae 30 g, notoginseng 10 g,spatholobus stem 25 g, hirudo 3 g, pberetima 10 g, radix paeoniae rubra 12 g, Chinese angelica 12 g, peach kernel 10 g, carthamus tinctorious 10 g, achyranthes 12 g, radix rhapontici 10 g, rhizoma alismatis 6 g, Acorus gramineus Soland 9 g, polygala root 9 g, rhizoma cyperi 10 g, herba siegesbeckiae 15 g),one dose a day. While in the control group, oxiracetam 4.0 g intravenous drip was given, once a day. The whole course was 21 days in both groups. Before and after treatment, the cognitive function of all the patients in two groups was assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)and Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA) scores, and incubation period and amplitude of P300 wave were recorded.Results Finally 62 cases were in treatment group and 63 cases in control group. Before treatment, the comparisons of the MMSE score, MoCA score and P300 latent period and amplitude between the two groups had no statistically significant differences(allP>0.05).

Objective To investigate the impact of the modified cast impression technique on distal-extension alve-olar ridge morphology of partially edentulous casts and the restoration outcome of removable partial dentures (PRDs). Meth-ods Fifty-four patients with mandibular free-end dentition defect were selected. Impressions were taken from each patient using both modified cast technique and conventional technique. Coronary cross-sections of the casts were scanned from dis-tal to mesial extension;the images were compared to reveal morphological differences. And the relationship between these differences and location of the cross-sections were analyzed. After the patients were evenly divided into two groups per paired design, the impressions were taken using the respective modified cast and conventional impression techniques to pre-pare RPDs. The subsequent comparisons between the two groups included frequency of adjustments during the adaptive phase, masticatory efficiency of the denture at ending of the adaptive phase and visible movement of the extension base dur-ing mastication. SPSS 16.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results The number of pixels in the same cross-sec-tion was less in the impression taken with modified cast technique than that with conventional technique. And their differ-ence is of statistical significance (P ＜ 0.01). The difference in the number of pixels (D) was negatively correlated with the number of cutting and grinding, and N (location of the cross-sections). In addition, there were statistically significant differ-ences in frequency of adjustments during the adaptive phase (times:1.12 ± 0.77 vs 3.41 ± 0.82), masticatory efficiency of the denture (0 vs 18.5%) and visible movement of the extension base during mastication (96.3%vs 74.1%) between the modified cast group and conventional group. Conclusion Morphology of distal-extension alveolar ridge of the casts differs signifi-cantly between the impressions obtained with modified cast technique and the impressions obtained with the conventional technique;the difference increases with greater distance to the distal surface of the terminal abutments. The restoration out-come of RPDs is significantly better with the modified cast impression technique than with the conventional impression tech-nique.
