Objective: To study the effects of tissue engineered bone in the repair of mandibular defect.Methods:The experiments were conducted in 12 dogs.Bone marrow stromal stem cells(BMSCs) of dog were cultured in DMEM containing 100 ml/L fetal bovine serum and induced to differentiate towards osteoblasts.Then the cells were seeded onto absorbable polylactic acid(PLA) compounded with rhBMP-2(0.16 mg for each implant), the composite was implanted into the oval-shaped mandibular bone defect in the size of 30 mm?12 mm on one side,another side was used as blank control.The dogs were divided into 4 grups with 3 in each group.PLA/rhBMP/BMSCs,PLA/rhBMP,PLA/BMSCs and PLA were used as the implants in group A,B,C and D respectively. 2, 4 and 8 weeks after implantation,the effectiveness of bone formation was evaluated by means of gross observation,histological and scanning electronic microscope ( SEM) examination. Results: In group A new bone formation in the implanted defects was observed 4 weeks after operation, the defects were replaced by muture bone tissue 8 weeks after operation. In group B a little new bone was found in the implanted area 4 weeks after operation and fibrous bone was observed 8 weeks after operation. In group C chondral ossification was found and in group D fibrous tissue was found in the bone defects 8 weeks after operation.Conclusion:PLA/rhBMP/BMSCs may be feasible in the repair of bone defect.

BACKGROUND: Long-term radioactive ray accumulation leads to surrounding tissues fibrosis accompanied by limitation of mouth-opening, which seriously affects life quality of tumor patients. OBJECTIVE: To observe pathological change of soft tissues in rats with radiation masseter injury and the level of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) mRNA expression in vivo.METHODS: A total of 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group (n=10) and radiated group (n=20). Radiated group were radiated with linear accelerator at a dose of 40 Gy. The pathological changes of vessels were observed under light microscope and electron microscope and expression of TGF-β1 was detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The microvessel density of radiated group was obviously decreased than that of the control group (P < 0.01), but the mRNA expression of was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.01). It suggests that radiated injury can induce fibrosis to repair the radiated injury.

Objective To determine association between tongue carcinoma and polymorphism of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (PLAU) gene.Methods PLAU genotypes of 97 patients with tongue carcinoma and 91 health controls were examined by the PCR-RFLP method.Statistical analyses included a chi-square test for homogeneity and logistic regression analysis.Results The polymorphism in PLAU gene was rs2227564 C/T.Logistic analyses indicated that compared with CT and TT genotypes,CC genotype was risk factor for development of tongue carcinoma (adjusted OR =1.281,95 % CI 1.098-2.577,P =0.037).Conclusion PLAU polymorphism may be associated with development of tongue carcinoma.

BACKGROUND:Recently,acellular dermal matrix allograft has been widely used in the repair of oral mucosal defects.But little information is about the heterogeneous acellular dermal matrix (HADM) patch for repair of oral mucosal defects.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the efficacy and biosafety of HADM in the repair of oral mucosal defects.METHODS:In total 71 patients with oral benign or malignant tumors who had oral mucosal or soft tissue defects following tumorectomy were included in this study.These patients comprised 37 males and 34 females,and were averaged 45 years (range,20-70 years old).Of them,42 suffered from benign tumors and 29 from malignant tumors.HADM patches were used for repair of oral mucosal defects.The survival,color,and texture of HADM patches were observed.Shrinkage rate of HADM patches was compared between regions without supports from hard tissues (cheeks,tongue,and mouth floor) and with supports from hard tissues (gingiva,hard palate).RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:All 71 HADM completely survived.No necrosis and infection occurred.At 2 weeks after transplantation,(98.20±5.20) % of patch area survived.At 3 months after transplantation,patches showed similar color to surrounding oral mucosa and most patients had sense of tension to different extents.At 6 months after transplantation,cell creeping substitution and vasculadzation were successfully accomplished in the region of patch transplantation.Patches grew stably,with smooth pink appearance and good elasticity,and no further shdnkage.Patients felt normal.HADM patch shrank primarily at 2 weeks-1 month after transplantation,and tended to be stable at 3 months.There was no significant difference in tissue morphology between surgical region and normal tissue.The HADM shdnkage rate was significantly higher in regions without supports from hard tissues than regions with supports from hard tissues.These findings indicate that HADM patches have advantages in repair of oral mucosal defects including good histocompatibility,wide source,simple manipulation,and able to cover the wound surface in the early state,promote wound surface healing,and reduce scar formation,and can be used as an ideal matedal for repair of oral mucosal defects.

OBJECTIVETo examine the cytokeratin expression in cervical lymph nodes of patients with mandibular gingival squamous cell carcinoma and its clinical significance.
METHODSThe data of 42 cases with mandibular gingival squamous cell carcinoma after operation from July 2009 to December 2012 were included. Forty-two patients (male = 27, formale = 15) were included, with a mean age of 54.1 years (range 27-77). The lesions were staged (stage I:9, stage II:16, stage III:6, stage IV:11). The cervical lymph nodes were examined by immunohistochemistry and HE. The cytokeratin expression in the lymph nodes was analyzed.
RESULTSThe rates of lymph nodes metastasis detected by routine HE staining, serial sections HE staining and IHC were 8.0% (47/585), 9.6% (56/585) and 12.8% (75/585), respectively. There was significant difference (χ(2) = 7.17, P < 0.01) in the diagnosis of lymph nodes metastasis between IHC and routine HE staining, There was no significant difference between IHC and serial HE staining (χ(2) = 3.10, P > 0.05). Metastasis occurred mainly in the Level I, II and III. Nineteen lymph nodes in 12 patients were found micrometastasis with IHC. Serial sections and routine HE staining did not find micrometastasis.
CONCLUSIONSCK markers is sensitive in detecting lymph node metastasis of mandibular gingival squamous cell carcinoma.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the osteogenesis of alveolar bone graft (ABG) in patients with alveolar cleft by cone beam CT (CBCT).
METHODSABG surgery was performed in 20 patients with unilateral complete alveolar cleft. The patients were followed up for 3 and 6 months after surgery and the osteogenesis of the bone graft was evaluated by CBCT. The bone density and the height of labial and palatal bone graft area were analyzed.
RESULTSThere was no significant difference in the bone density between 3 months [(403.79 ± 64.70) HU] and 6 months[(411.45 ± 42.62) HU ] (P = 0.329).However, there was significant difference in bone height in the labial and palatal side between 3 months and 6 months (labial P = 0.020, palatal P = 0.008).
CONCLUSIONSThe osteogenesis was the best 3 months after bone graft. The following treatment can start in this stage.
