Journal of Practical Stomatology 2000;0(05):-
砄bjective:To study the effects of superlong pedicled latissimus dorsi muscle transplantation (SPLDMT) in the treatment of facial paralysis.Method: 16 cases of unilateral long standing facial paralysis were treated with SPLDMT in 1991~1998;follow up was conducted and the effects were analysed. Results:After operation satisfied movement recovery of the facial muscles was observed in 12 and improvenent in 3 of the 16 patients,no change was found in only 1 case.

Journal of Practical Stomatology 1995;0(04):-
Objective:To evaluate functional recovery of nerve and muscle after end-to-side neurorrhaphy.Methods:10 SD rats were randomly and evenly devided into group A and group B.Right common peroneal nerve was amputated in all the rats.Then the distal stump was sutured to the ipsilateral tibial nerve by the end-to-side way through a epineurial window in group A. The right common peroneal nerve was severed in group B as denervated control.After 1.5 months all the rats were subjected to walking track analysis,histological and ultrastructure observation.Results:In group A peroneal nerve index (PFI) achieved -41.634,density of collateral axons 51.437?12.041/1 000 ?m 2,synapsin (SYP) 439?120.5.In group B PFI was -100,SYP 0. In normal control PFI was 0, density of collateral axons 18.847?1.078/1 000 ?m 2,SYP 842?84.7.Conclusion:End-to-side neurorrhaphy may induce nerve sprout plenty of collateral axons.The axons can reach target muscle to reconstruct functional neuromuscular junction,and recover the function of the muscle in some degree.

To evaluate the incidence of sub-clinical neck metastasis and its surgical treatment in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) without clear evidences for lymph nodes metastasis, a total of 205 patients with OSCC in N0 and N1 stage(UICC 1987′s classification) were included in the study.Their clinical and histopathological files were retrospectively studied and patients were followed up after operation. Histopathological positive lymph nodes were found in 10.8%(13/120) of patients,and postoperative lymph nodes metastasis occurred in 16.5%(14/85) of patients without neck dissections.There were no significant differences between N0 and N1 groups.Neck recurrence occurred in 11.9%(5/42) of patients after functional neck dissections.The rate was higher in patients with bucal lesions.Patients undergoing radical neck dissections also had neck recurrence with an incidence of 6.4%.But most of them occurred on contralateral side. It suggested that subclinical metastasis of OSCC with clinically negative neck lymph nodes could not be neglected.Functional neck dissection should include the lymph nodes of level Ⅲ,especially for cancers located on bucca mucosa and tongue.Bilateral neck dissection is necessary for large primary lesions spreading to the contralateral side.

Objectives: To study the treatment outcome of mucoepidermoid carcinoma(MEC).Methods:128 cases of MEC with definite pathologic diagnosis treated in our hospital during the past 15 years were investigated. The relationship between the effects of the therapy and the prognosis was analysed.Result:Treatment with surgical operation only was used in 99 cases,radiotherapy after operation was applied in 26 cases and follow-up was carried out in 76 cases. 5-year survival rate was 90.7%.5 patients who died within 5 years after operation were all with the diagnosis of MEC in clinical stage Ⅳand poor differentiaton.Conclusion:The local extensive excision for the well differentiated MEC,the radiotherapy after operation for poorly differentiated or that of clinical stage Ⅳ,especially in maxilla,may increase 5-year survival rate.Since there were cases of recurrences of MEC 13 years after surgical treatment,long-term follow-up is necessary.

objective: To develop injectable tissue engineered bone through injection of osteoblasts/alginate composite in rabbits. Methods: Bone marrow cells isolated from iliac bone of New Zealand rabbits were cultured and induced to differentiate into osteoblasts.The osteoblasts were mixed with 25 g/L sodium alginate solution to generate osteoblasts/alginate composite with final cellular density of 5?10 6/ml. 0.17 g of sterilized CaSO 4 powder was then added to 2 ml osteoblasts/alginate. The mixture was injected into the dorsal subcutaneous tissue at left side of 6 New Zealand rabbits. The alginate composite without osteoblasts was injected into the right side as the control. 4 and 8 weeks after implantation, the bone formation was evaluated by means of gross, X ray and histological observation. Results: 4 weeks after implantation, cartilage formation was observed and 8 weeks after implantation,new mature bone was observed in the osteoblasts/alginate composites. No new bone formation was observed in all of the control specimens. Conclusion: Calcium alginate can be used as a carrier in injectable bone tissue engineering, and new bone can be created through injection of osteoblasts/alginate composites in immune animals.

To investigate the feasibility of using poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Marrow stromal cells were harvested from New Zealand rabbit′s iliac bone. After being cultured and multiplied in vitro,with the use of dexamethasone to promote the osteoblastic phenotype of the cells, the cells were seeded into poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate. The cells/ poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate construction was implanted subcutaneously in nude mice. In control animals, poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate alone was implanted. Osteogenesis was assessed by histological and roentgenographic analysis. Four weeks after implantation, osteoid tissue had been observed in the specimens of the composite; 8 weeks after implantation, large amount of new bone had been found, and lamellar bone had been observed also. In the control, only fibrous tissue had been found. It suggested that poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate can be used as a scaffold material for bone tissue engineering.
