Objective Observe the effect of Total paeony glycoside(TPG)has on the T-cell immune action and apoptosis process of Oral lichen planus patients and analyze the mechanism.Methods 20 OLP patients are recruited into this experiment, each is treated with TPG,and their clinical effect is taken notes of.Observe the apoptosis of OLP lesions from each of the patients before and after the treatment,compare the apoptosis condition and the expression of CD4 + ,CD8 + ,and the CD4 +/CD8 + ratio,to analyze the role TPG plays on the immune expression of T-cell and the effect on apoptosis process.Results TPG improve the clini-cal manifestation of OLP patients significantly,resulting in the decrease of reticulum and erosive areas,and the pain index is de-creased obviously.The expression of CD4 + and CD8 + are decreased in OLP lesions after the treatment of TPG.Conclusion TPG may induce the apoptosis of the T-cell in lamina propria of the OLP lesions to regulate the T-cell immune action of OLP patients, and slow the development of inflammatory process of OLP,and in that way,TPG shows its potential in treating OLP,and this ex-periment can provide the primary evidence.

The present paper is to investigate the relationship between height and stress-bearing area of mandibular alveolar ridge, their influence on retention of complete denture, and the effectiveness of denture adhesive (DA). Five mandibular edentulous models of different heights and a rabbit palate model were prepared in Die-Stone. Measurements were made on the heights and stress-bearing areas of mandibular alveolar ridge, the retention force of mandibular models 15 min after DA administration, and the retention force on the rabbit palate before and after adhering. All available data were analyzed statistically. Linear regression relationship was demonstrated between ridge height and bearing area, ridge height and retention force, and bearing area and retention force (P<0.01), separately. Retention force per unit area was positively related to the height and area. Retention force increased to 2.87 times postadhesive-treating. Height and stress-bearing area of mandibular alveolar ridge directly correlate with the retention of complete denture, and DA significantly improves the retention ability of complete denture.
