The effects of polytetrafluoroethylene (e PTFE) membrane on periodontal ligament cell (PDLC) growth and periodontal tissues and new cement regeneration were studied, and the prospects of clinical application of e PTFE membrane were discussed. The results showed that PDLC grew well on the e PTFE membrane and no toxicity or inhibition was found. Close adhesion of the cells to the membrane was observed by scanning electron microscope. Histological studies suggested that the peculiar porous structure of e PTFE membrane protects and promotes healing of alveolar bone defect when the membrane edge was sealed perfectly on the crown side,exhibiting inhibition of growth of epithelium towards tooth root. The membrane was beneficial to regeneration of new alveolar bone and cement and establishment of new adhesion,and was regarded as a good substitute of old materials.

Objective Describes the use of homemade simple bedside bracket of children supracondylar fracture closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixed surgical methods and clinical effects.Methods 16 cases of children supracondylar fractures Gartland type Ⅱ cases,15 cases Gartland type Ⅲ,13 males and 3 females,with an average age of 6 years old,all patients used our hospital homemade simple bedside shelf assisted closed reduction,percutaneous pin fixation,and fixed with plaster immobilization.Results 16 patients were followed-up,in addition to the two cases of pin tract infection,fracture all were healed smoothly.Without iatrogenic nerve injury and internal fixation loosening,and also no volkmann contracture,and myositis ossificans etc complications.The average fracture healing time for three weeks,no bone delayed union or nonunion occurred.According to Flynn clinical function evaluation,there were excellent in 7 cases,good in 9 cases.Conclusion Useing homemade simple bedside shelf to children supracondylar fractures closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixed can ensure the efficacy,and also simplify the surgical procedure,reduce radiation intake,which is the worthy of clinical practice.

Objective To explore the expression change of death associated protein kinase(DAPK)and therapeutic time window for traumatic brain injury in rats.Method The traumatic brain injury models of rats were achieved by free drop impact model.The adult rats were randomly divided into normal control,sham-operation and TBI groups.Samples of"TBI group were acquired at the time point of2h,8h,24h,48h and 72h after brain injury.Pathological changes of injured neurons were demonstrated by H-E staining,the expression of DAPK mRNA W8.8 detected by RT-PCR,relative quantitation of neuron apoptosis Wa$detected by TUNEL.Results At the Sh after brain injury,the expression of DAPK increased evidently and neuron apeptosis Wag detected.The expression of DAPK and quantitation of neuron apeptosis reached peal[at the 24h after injury.Conclusion These obaervatiorm showed that the expression of DAPK in the cerebral tissues reached peak at the 24h after injury.The optimum therapeutic time window wag 24h after injury.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of iNOS in the middle and late stage of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and the effect of L-Arginine(L-Arg) on these stage.MethodsThirty healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups.All rats except those in control group were injected intraperitoneally (ip) with a single dose (50 mg/kg) of MCT to induce PH.Then the L3 and L5 groups were injected ip with 500 mg/kg L-Arg daily for 3 weeks and 5weeks respectively,the M3 and M5groups received a daily ip injection of the same amount of saline as L-Arg for 3 weeks and 5 weeks respectively; the same amount of saline was injected ip daily in control group for 5 weeks.Right ventricular systolic pressure(RVSP) was measured before lungs were excised for immunohistochemistry at the end of experiments. ResultsThe expressions of iNOS and elastin in M3 and M5 were higher compared to the control group,but L-Arg partly reduced the expressions of iNOS and elastin both at 3weeks and 5 weeks post-MCT.The reduction of eNOS expression in L3 and L5 groups were lower compared to M3 and M5 groups,but the eNOS expression in L3 and L5 groups were still lower than control group.ConclusionDuring the middle and late stage of PH,the expression of eNOS was decreased.The expression of iNOS was induced,which would produce numerous NO.However,these NO had no benefit on the development of PH.L-Arg could restore the balance of eNOS and iNOS,and could inhibit the development of PH,which may provide a new clues to explore the pathogenesis and treatment of PH.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of calcification of autogenous bone marrow stem cell transplantation in periodontal tissue regeneration.

METHODSBone marrow stem cells derived from the same dog were cultured with alpha-MEM. 1 x 10(7) cells of first passage were allowed to attach to the collagen membrane for 24 hours. The membrane-cells were transplanted into periodontal defect in the same dog. Then the defects were covered with e-pTFE membranes. The defects covered only with e-pTFE without membrane-cells were served as control. Eighteen teeth of 6 dogs for every group were studied. The dogs were sacrificed after 6 weeks.

RESULTSThe results showed that new bone formation in test group was significantly higher than that of control group. The calcification of new bone in test group was better than control group.

CONCLUSIONSThe results suggested that autogenous bone marrow stem cell transplantation with guided tissue regeneration technique could enhance periodontal tissue regeneration and could form new bone tissue fast and could shorten times of periodontal tissue regeneration in dogs.
