Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(24):3818-3823
BACKGROUND:The characteristics of condylar morphology should be first understood in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the bilateral condylar morphology in adult patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate. METHODS:This study included 25 patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (study group), and 25 normal volunteers (control group). The upper condylar height, ramal height, condylar height and condylar width were measured on panoramic radiographs. The ratio of the upper condylar height to the ramal height and the ratio of the condylar height to the condylar width were calculated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, upper condylar height, condylar width, condylar height and the ratio of the upper condylar height to the ramal height were reduced in the study group between the normal and affected sides (P<0.05). Moreover, significant differences in condylar morphology were detected between the two groups. No significant difference in ramal height and the ratio of the condylar height to the condylar width was detected between the two groups (P>0.05). No significant difference in upper condylar height, ramal height, condylar width, condylar height, the ratio of the upper condylar height to the ramal height, the ratio of the condylar height to the condylar width, and condylar morphology was detectable between the normal and affected sides in the experimental group (P>0.05). These data show that adult patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate presented short condylar process and narrow neck, and the condylar process is shorter than ramus, which provides clinical evidence for patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

Objective:To compare and analyse the clinical outcome, advantages and disadvantages of submental artery island flap (SAIF) and free anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) in the repair and reconstruction of tongue after radical surgery of tongue cancer.Methods:From January, 2016 to December, 2018, a total of 40 patients received tongue repair and reconstruction with either SAIF or ALTF after radical resection of tongue cancer. There were 28 males and 12 females, with an average age of 51 years old. Eighteen patients received tongue repair and reconstruction with SAIF and 22 with ALTF. Postoperative follow-up were carried out and the clinical data were collected. Swallowing, speech and softness of the tongue between the 2 repair methods were compared and statistically analysed. P<0.05 indicated a significant statistical difference between 2 groups. Results:All flaps survived. One ALTF had a venous vascular crisis. The flap survived after the removal of thrombus at the anastomotic site. Functional recovery of tongue was analysed after the follow-up of 12-48 months. It was found that there was no significant difference in speech function between the 2 groups (SAIF vs ALTF: 13 vs 15, P=0.206). The swallowing dysfunction in SAIF group was significantly higher than that of the ALTF group (SAIF vs ALTF: 15 vs 7, P=0.014). Moreover, the average time of surgery in SAIF group (3.5 h) was significantly less than that of the ALTF group (6.8 h), which had statistically significance ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The SAIF and ALTF are ideal flaps for repairing the tongue defect caused by tongue cancer surgery. SAIF features a simple surgical procedure and a short time for flap taking. ALTF provides sufficient amount of tissue to cover the scars left by the surgery, reduce donor site complications, and benefit the recovery of swallowing and speech functions.

Objective To investigate the signal pathway of platelet activation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods Thirty healthy Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into control group (n = 6) and model group (n = 24). The model of ARDS was reproduced by intravenous injection of oleic acid (0.25 mL/kg), and the rats in control group were injected with the same amount of normal saline. The blood of abdominal aorta was collected at 2, 6, 24, and 72 hours after model reproduction, the platelets were separated, and c-Jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation (pJNK) levels which was one of major protein kinases in the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signal pathway was determined by Western Blot. The rats were sacrificed, the lung tissues were harvested, and lung coefficient (lung weight/body weight ×100%) and lung wet/dry (W/D) ratio were calculated. Pathological changes in the lung tissue were observed with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining in light microscope. Results Comp ared with the control group, platelet pJNK level in ARDS model group was significantly increased at 2 hours after model reproduction (gray value: 0.72±0.09 vs. 0.22±0.01), and peaked at 6 hours (gray value: 0.91±0.03 vs. 0.22±0.01), then it was decreased gradually. It was also significantly higher than that of control group till 72 hours after model reproduction (gray value: 0.39±0.06 vs. 0.22±0.01, all P < 0.05). Lung coefficient and lung W/D ratio in ARDS model group were significantly increased at 2 hours after model reproduction as compared with those of control group [(1.30±0.20)% vs. (0.60±0.10)%, 6.00±0.60 vs. 3.30±0.30], then they were decreased gradually. They were also significantly higher than those of control group till 72 hours after model reproduction [(0.90±0.10)% vs. (0.60±0.10)%, 4.80±0.70 vs. 3.30±0.30, all P < 0.05]. It was showed by light microscopy that lung tissue of rats in the control group had no significant pathological changes. At 2 hours after model reproduction in model group, clearly visible alveolar edema and interstitial edema, interstitial lung infiltration of inflammatory cells, small blood vessels dilation and congestion were found, and the re were a lot of protein exudates. The lesions of lung peaked at 24 hours. At 72 hours, absorption of most of fluid leaking in alveolar, alveolar space narrow, alveolar septum thickening, the reduction of inflammatory cells infiltration, fibrous tissue proliferation, and micro thrombosis formation were found. Conclusion In ARDS, in addition to pathological changes in the lung tissue, platelet activation occurs, and its activation process is related to the priming of JNK signal transduction pathways.

BACKGROUND: Bracket dropping is often seen in clinic. Can these shed brackets be used again; what should be done to treat these brackets; is the bond strength of these recycled brackets different from those new ones, these questions are often concerned by orthodontists in their clinic and are the purpose of our study as well.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the shear bond strength and compare two base-cure methods of recycled brackets. DESIGN: Grouping control study. SITTING: Department of Orthodontics, the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Qingdao University; Department of Materials, Dental School, Beijing University. MATERIALS: The teeth were collected from Oral Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Qingdao University. The age was from 11 to 19 years. The gender was half male and half female. Intact enamel of the crown was required, but decayed, fracture, tetracycline pigmentation teeth or fluorosis teeth were excluded. Patients provided the confirmed consent for this experiment.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in Stomatology College of Peaking University in December 2005. Thirty ex vivo teeth were selected randomly from those prepared enamel surfaces, used as sample for rebounding. The edgewise brackets of swallow-tailed brackets were bonded on each tooth and rebonded after 24 hours. The teeth were cleaned and divided randomly into 3 groups. There were 10 teeth in each group. Group 1 was bonded with new brackets; group 2 with recycled brackets whose adhesive remnant were burned and got rid of; group 3 with recycled brackets whose adhesive remnant in the groove of the base were stored. Bracket was provided by Standard edgewise, Orsu Company, Hangzhou, China. After 24 hours, the shear bond strength was tested with material testing machine (Autogragh, Shimadzu, Japan). Adhesive remnant index (ARI) was added up. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Shear strength of old metal bracket after rebonding and adhesive remnant.RESULTS: ① Shear bond strength: The shear bond strengths were (10.094±3.158 9) in group 1, (10.266±2.406 0) in group 2 and (8.898±1.365 9) in group 3. There were no statistically significant differences among the three groups (P > 0.05). ② ARI scores: ARI scores were 51.7%, 58.3% and 35.0% in the three groups, respectively. There were statistically significant differences between group 2 and 3. CONCLUSION: In vitro study indicates that the recycled metal brackets can reach good bond strength and that maybe there is chemical bond between new and old adhesive.
