Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy of low level laser treatment (LLLT) combined with initial periodontal therapy in treating chronic periodontits.Methods Eighteen patients with chronic periodontitis were randomly treated in a spit-mouth design with combination of laser (808 nm,80 mW) treatment with scaling and root planing (experimental) or with scaling and root planing alone (contol) after OHI and supragingival cleaning.Clinical parameters of sulcus bleeding index (SBI),periodontal probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) of both sides were recorded and gingival crevicular fluid samples were collected at baseline and 1,4,12 weeks after the treatment.GCF samples were analyzed for b-FGF,IL-1β,IL-8 level using ELISA assay.Results For the change of SBI and PD,only SBI in the experimental group experienced significant reduction (P＜0.05) at 1 week compared with baseline (P＜0.05),and the reduction in both groups were statistically significant (P＜0.05) at 4 weeks.The same situation occurred while both experimental groups made more significant difference (P＜0.01) at 12 weeks.The reduction of SBI was obvious in both groups when the PD was more than 6 mm.For CAL,the experimental group showed signs of improvement (P＜0.05) at 4 weeks; both groups indicated improvement (P＜0.05),while the experimental was more significant (P＜0.01) at 12 weeks.For the levels of b-FGF,it showed steady rise after treatment in experimental group,while it went up to the baseline after falling in control group.At 12 weeks,there were statistical significance of differences between two groups (P＜0.05).The changes of IL-1β and IL-8,in the experimental group showed better results than that in control group,while the difference between two groups was not significant (P＞0.05).Conclusion LLLI can accelerate the healing of periodontal tissue by reducing the SBI,decreasing the PD,improving the CAL and increasing levels of b-FGF in the GCF of the patients.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have confirmed that healing of in vivo tendon is the outcome of interaction between endogenous healing and exogenous healing. Exogenous healing is a main reason for tendon adhesion, and affects the recovery of tendon function.OBJECTIVE: To explore application of tissue engineering technique and its materials in prevention and treatment of tendon adhesion induced by movement injury.METHODS: Using the key words of "movement injury, biomaterial, tissue engineering, tendon adhesion", we retrieved randomized animal controlled studies and clinical application literatures addressing tendon biomechanics function, adsorbable biomaterial polyglycolic acid, tendon cells-constructed tissue engineered tendon in vitro, biomembrane, chitosan, adsorbable antistick membrane, sodium hyaluronate, bioprotein gel and so on in prevention of tendon adhesion in Chinese Journal Full-text Database published from January 1990 to December 2000. By aggregate analysis of literature data, follow-up and function evaluation, this article summarized clinical application of tissue engineered techniques and materials in prevention of tendon adhesion.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 61 literatures were primarily obtained. Following reading titles and abstracts, 31 literatures of irrelevant objectives and contents, and 9 literatures of repetitive contents were excluded. Totally 21 literatures were included for analysis. Tendon adhesion refers to hyperplasia and invasion of surrounding tissues during repair of tendon damage. With the deep understanding of tendon repair healing, application of tissue engineering to preventing tendon adhesion became more and more. Tendon healing is an interaction between endogenous healing and exogenous healing, and mainly endogenous healing, which was simultaneously associated with tendon sheath, vincula tendinum and synovial fluid. Tendon adhesion is mainly induced by excessive action of exogenous healing and damage to surrounding tissues. Tissue engineering is a novel technique. Novel biomaterials are widely used in tissue engineering performance to solve problems such as tendon injury andchondronecrosis. Presently, it Is important to reconstruct tissues, which can reach clinical outcomes of preventing adhesion.

Objective: To explore the relationship between the preoperative immune state and the progress, the prognosis in patients with gastric carcinoma. Methods: The NK cell activity (lactdehydrogenase releasing),the level of T cells subgroup (FACS) were detected preoperatively. The data of intra operative findings, pathologic observations and the results of clinical follow up were also studied. Results: The preoperative immune function in cancer patients was significantly reduced compared with the control group, and it had a significantly negative correlation with the stage of the cancer, but a positive correlation with the prognostic results. Conclusion: The detection of the preoperative immune state can play an important role in the estimation of the disease progress and the prognosis in cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of low 1evel laser treatment (LLLT) on periodontal clinical index,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and metabolic control in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus combined chronic peridontitis.Methods Nighty patients with type 2 diabetes combined chronic peridontitis were divided into three groups:initial periodontal therapy (group A),initial therapy combined with LLLT (group B) and control group (group C).The periodontal clinical parameters including periodontal probing depth (PD),clinical attachment loss (CAL),sulcus bleeding index (SBI),hs-CRP,HbA1c and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were tested before and at three months after therapy.Results The periodontal clinical parameters (PD,CAL,SBI) and hsCRP in group A and B improved significantly compared with that of group C after therapy (P＜0.05),with group B had more significant difference (P＜0.01).For the levels of HbA1c and FPG,group A and B showed downtrend,and more obvious outcome was detected in group B (P＜0.05).Conclusions LLLT can effectively improve periodontal status,hs-CRP levels and metabolic control of patients with type 2 diabetes combined with chronic peridontitis,and thus to prevent the occurrence of diabetes complications.
