Fifty three Wistar rats were randomly divided into healthy control group, COPD model group and NAC group, PKC inhibitor H7 intervention group and TGF ? monocolonal antibody group(TGF ? MA group).To study the role of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) and the tissue inhibitor of MMPs(TIMP 1) in the airway extracellular matrix(ECM) remodelling of COPD rat models and to observe the effects of NAC, H7 and TGF ? MA intervention on the regulation of MMPs and TIMP 1 and on ECM remodelling of the airway walls. Compared with control group, the airway collagen, the hydroxyproline(Hy) content of lung homogenates ,the number of fibroblasts(Fb) , the protein and/or mRNA expressions of MMP 2, MMP 9, TIMP 1 and TGF ? Ⅰ, Ⅱ receptor and the enzyme activities of MMP 2 (72kD), MMP 9 (92kD) were significantly increased in COPD model group. In all the drug intervention groups, the expressions of the above parameters were significantly decreased than those in model group except for Hy and Fb in H7 group, protein expression of TGF ? I receptor in NAC group and MMP 9 in TGF ? MA group. The results suggested that increased MMPs as matrix degrading enzymes might be responsible for the excessive degradation of ECM in airway, whereas incresed TIMPs might promote excessive ECM synthesis and deposition. The imbalance of MMP 9/TIMP 1 was related to the airway ECM remodelling. An antioxidant NAC and TGF ? MA might regulate the MMPs/TIMP 1 expression and reduce the airway fibrosis.H7 had strong collagenase inhibitory action,resulting increse in Hy and Fbs. The data may be helpful for searching effective prevention and treatment of airway ECM remodelling.

BACKGROUND:Numerous studies have demonstrated that the use of periodontal tissue-guided regeneration technique significantly elevated success rate of immediate technical planting. No significant difference is detected as compared with the delayed planting success rate in the clinic. OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical effects of immediate implant and delayed implant in the restoration of anterior teeth. METHODS:A total of 100 cases with former dental implants, who had 160 diseased teeth, were enroled in this study. They were divided into experimental and control groups according to the principle of random pairing. In the experimental group, the implant was put into the extraction sockets after minimaly invasive tooth extraction with the use of periodontal guided tissue regeneration technique. In the control group, at 3 months after minimaly invasive tooth extraction, implant was implanted in the sockets. Delayed planting repair of denture in the missing teeth area was performed with the use of periodontal guided tissue regeneration technique. Crown restoration was conducted in both groups at 3 months after implantation. Aesthetics, periodontal pocket depth and implant success rate were compared after repair in both groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Gingival esthetics score was better at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after repair in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Periodontal pocket depth was less at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after repair in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). No significant difference in success rate of implants was detected at 12 months after repair between both groups (P> 0.05). Above findings confirmed that aesthetic effect, treatment cycle, and the health of periodontal tissue were better in the immediate implanting group than in the delayed implanting group. However, no significant difference in success rate was detected between immediate implanting and delayed implanting groups.

BACKGROUND:A large amount of apicocoronal and buccolingual bone resorption occur in alveolar bone after tooth extraction, leading to the distinct shortage of bone mass of alveolar bone in tooth-missing area, which has a certain effect on the stability of early implantation and postoperative aesthetic outcomes and greatly affects the long-term success rate of denture implantation. Therefore, immediate-delayed implantation can shorten the time of repair. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of implant repair after immediate-delayed implantation and application of guided bone regeneration technique in anterior maxila area. METHODS:Nineteen patients (28 teeth lost) with maxilary anterior tooth loss and labial one-waled bone defects were selected. Twenty-eight OSSTEM implants were implanted at 4 weeks after tooth extraction. Guided bone regeneration technique was applied concurrently in labial bone defect area. The secondary repair was performed after 6 months. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The success rate of these 28 implants was 100% at 24 months after denture implantation. The peri-implant bone height loss at 6, 12 and 24 months was 0.1, 0.6 and 0.11 mm, respectively. Red aesthetic scores were satisfactory. Immediate-delayed implantation combined with application of guided bone regeneration technique for treatment of maxilary anterior tooth loss and mild bone defect can restore the height and width of peri-implant bone and acquire stable vertical bone resorption and satisfactory gingival aesthetic outcomes .

BACKGROUND:Hyaluronic acid has antioxidant, immune regulation, anti-inflammatory roles as wel as promotes wound healing. Hyaluronic acid is more and more applied in the treatment of chronic periodontitis and achieves a significant effect. OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effects of local application of sodium hyaluronate in the treatment of chronic periodontitis. METHODS:Sixty cases of chronic periodontitis (300 teeth) were selected. According to self-control method, the teeth in district A, 150 premolars or molars, were as experimental group, and other 150 teeth in district B served as control group. In the experimental group, periodontal scaling, subgingival scaling, and local application of Gengigel gel (0.2% hyaluronic acid) in the gingival sulcus were employed; in the control group, the treatment was same to that in the experimental group except local application of Gengigel gel. During 8-week folow-up, dental plaque index, sulcus bleeding index, probing depth, and clinical attachment loss were changed dynamicaly. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After treatment, al the measurement indexes were improved remarkably in the two groups. However, there was no difference in the dental plaque index between the two groups at 1, 4, 8 weeks after treatment. The sulcus bleeding index was lower in the experimental group than the control group at 1, 4, 8 weeks after treatment (P < 0.05). The periodontal probing depth of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group at 4 and 8 weeks (P < 0.05). The clinical attachment loss was lower in the experimental group than the control group at 8 weeks (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that periodontal treatment with local application of sodium hyaluronate in the gingival sulcus is significantly effective for the treatment of chronic periodontitis.
