BACKGROUND:Bioglass has good biocompatibility and biological activity, which can be combined with calcium phosphate bone cement to form an absorbable bioglass that has the advantages of both materials and is expected to have a better use of space. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechamism of the new type of absorbable bioglass injection for vertebral body supporting and osteogenic induction in osteoporosis rats. METHODS:Twenty-seven female Sprague-Dawley rats were selected to make osteoporosis models by bilateral ovariectomy, and after 1 month, the rats were randomized into three groups. Bone defect models were established in the lumbar L4 segment of al the rats. Rats in the experimental group were subjected to absorbable bioglass injection; rats in the control group 1 underwent polymethylmethacrylate bone cement injection; and rats in the control group 2 were given injectable calcium phosphate. Twelve weeks after implantation, the compressive strength, degradation and osteogenesis of the implant materials were detected, and levels of serum bone morphogenetic protein-2 and transforming growth factor-β were measured. RESULTSAND CONCLUSION: The compressive strength, hydroxyapatite deposition amount, and weight loss ratio in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the two control groups (P < 0.05); the relative volume, thickness and number of bone trabeculae in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control groups (P < 0.05); the bone morphogenetic protein-2 and transforming growth factor-β protein levels in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the two control groups (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the new-type absorbable bioglass can greatly strengthen the vertebral body supporting and promote osteogenic effect in osteoporosis by enhancing the bone morphogenetic protein-2 and transforming growth factor-β protein levels.

BACKGROUND:With the extensive application of cone-beam CT in oral and craniofacial surgery, a clear hyoid bone position indicator for normal population has important implications for the change of hyoid bone position before and after orthodontics. OBJECTIVE:To determine the cone-beam CT measurement range of hyoid bone position in populations aged 6-19 years from Shandong, so as to provide a reference marker for the change of hyoid bone position before and after orthodontics in local children and adolescents. METHODS:Totaly 254 healthy children (120 males and 134 females) aged 6-19 years from Shandong Province were subjected to cone-beam CT scan of the hyoid bone. Mimics10.01 was used to evaluate the linear and angular measurements of hyoid bone position, and then the normal value range was confirmed. Independent-samplet-test was used for analysis of gender difference and 95% confidence interval was calculated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were gender differences in a part of indicators of hyoid bone position among 14-15 years, 16-17 years, 18-19 years groups (P < 0.05). For children aged 12-13 years, the hyoid bone position vertical to the base of skul and upper jaw bone is lower in males than in females. For children aged 14-15 years and 18-19 years, the hyoid bone horizontal to the cervical spine is more forward in males than in females.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to improve students' ability in practical and theoretical courses of oral health education and to promote students' learning interest and initiative.

METHODSFourth-year students of the oral medical profession from 2006 to 2008 at Weifang Medical University were chosen as research objects for oral health education to explore the experimental teaching reform. The students were divided into test and control groups, with the test group using the "speak out" way of teaching and the control group using the traditional teaching method. Results of after-class evaluation of the test group, as well as final examination and practice examination of the two groups, were analyzed and compared.

RESULTSAfter-class evaluation results of the test group showed that the "speak out" teaching method was recognized by the students and improved students' ability to understand oral health education. The final examination and practice examination results showed that the score of the test group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSION"Speak out" teaching methods can improve students' ability for oral health education, in accordance with the trend of teaching reform.
