Objective To investigate the effective of FGF-23(R176Q)overexpression of adult mouse mandible formation and mineralization.Methods CT scanning,serological examination,HE staining,immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR analysis were used to compared mandible of FGF-23(R176Q)transgenic mice(TG group)and wild type mice(WT group),serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations mandibule formation and mineralization were analysised.Results Serum calcium,phosphorus and 1, 25(OH)2 D3 concentrations in WT group were significantly higher than that in TG group,the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05);the Ob.s/B.Pm TG group was lower than that of WT group,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05);the positive percentage of Biglycan in TG group was higher than that in WT group,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05);the OCN and type I collagen mRNA levels in the WT group were significantly higher than that in TG group,the difference were statistically significant(P <0.05).Conclusion FGF-23(R176Q)overexpression can inhibit the formation of mandible,reduce the formation of mineralized,and reduce the development of the mandible.

Objective:To construct the siRNA expression vector of focal adhesion kinase(FAK) gene and inhibit the expression of FAK gene in tongue cancer cell line Tca8113 by RNA interfering technique. Methods:According to the encoding sequence of FAK mRNA, two pieces of oligonucleotide sequences were designed and synthesized. The annealed oligonucleotide fragments were subcloned into pGCSilencerTM-U6/Neo siRNA expression vector. After being identified by restriction enzyme method, the recombinant pSilencer-FAK plasmids were transfected into Tca8113 cells. The transfected cells were selected by G418 method. Immuocytochemistry and Western blotting were used to evaluate FAK gene silencing efficiency. Results:The oligonucleotide fragments were correctly inserted into pGCSilencerTM-U6/Neo vector. FAK expression of the transfected cells was significantly down-regulated by pSilencer-FAK. Conclusion:The siRNA expression vector of FAK is successfully constructed and FAK expression of Tca8113 cells can be inhibited by RNA interfering technique.

Craniofacial malformation caused by premature fusion of cranial suture of infants has a serious impact on their growth. The purpose of skull remodeling surgery for infants with craniosynostosis is to expand the skull and allow the brain to grow properly. There are no standardized treatments for skull remodeling surgery at the present, and the postoperative effect can be hardly assessed reasonably. Children with sagittal craniosynostosis were selected as the research objects. By analyzing the morphological characteristics of the patients, the point cloud registration of the skull distortion region with the ideal skull model was performed, and a plan of skull cutting and remodeling surgery was generated. A finite element model of the infant skull was used to predict the growth trend after remodeling surgery. Finally, an experimental study of surgery simulation was carried out with a child with a typical sagittal craniosynostosis. The evaluation results showed that the repositioning and stitching of bone plates effectively improved the morphology of the abnormal parts of the skull and had a normal growth trend. The child's preoperative cephalic index was 65.31%, and became 71.50% after 9 months' growth simulation. The simulation of the skull remodeling provides a reference for surgical plan design. The skull remodeling approach significantly improves postoperative effect, and it could be extended to the generation of cutting and remodeling plans and postoperative evaluations for treatment on other types of craniosynostosis.
