Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(2):289-294
BACKGROUND:As one of common oral diseases, periodontitis is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress on periodontitis treatment.
METHODS:A computer-based search was performed on the PubMed database and CNKI database for articles addressing periodontitis treatment. The key words were“periodontitis, treatment, tissue engineering, gene engineering”in English and Chinese, respectively. Final y, a total of 57 articles were included to review.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Currently, the majority of scholars are stil focus to improve periodontal tissue, promote the regeneration and repair of periodonttal tissue. With the development of tissue engineering and gene technology in recent years, periodontitis has been treated from multiple perspectives and multiple aspects, to solve the problems of patients with periodontitis. However, some treatment methods are stil in their early stage and need in-depth research.

Purpose To evaluate the breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) of ultrasound and 18F-lfuorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT in diagnosis of breast tumor, and to analyze the correlation between them. Materials and Methods 18F-FDG PET/CT images and ultrasound images of 103 patients with suspected breast cancer were retrospectively analyzed to get correlation between the maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) and BI-RADS. Sensitivity, speciifcity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value were compared with histology or follow-up results as golden standard. Results Of the 103 lesions, 46 were benign and 57 were malignant. Pearson correlation coefifcient was 0.464 (P<0.01). The sensitivity, speciifcity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of PET/CT were 89.47%, 73.91%, 80.95%and 84.99%, respectively;those of BI-RADS were 94.70%, 69.60%, 79.42%and 91.38%, respectively. The sensitivity, speciifcity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value in patients with BI-RADS 3-4 were 88.90%, 71.40%, 66.65%, and 90.91%, respectively. The sensitivity, speciifcity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for BI-RADS grading diagnosis were 88.90%, 46.40%, 51.60%and 86.67%, respectively. Conclusion There is no signiifcant correlation between SUVmax and BI-RADS. BI-RADS has low speciifcity for patients with BI-RADS grade 3-4, while PET/CT can make up this shortcoming. Combined diagnosis in the breast disease can be potentially recommended in clinics.

Objective To explore the influence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with coronary lesions to the ST segment resolution (STR) and clinical prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods 380 patients with AMI were detected twice each hour for the situation of STR,before and after coronary angiography and PCI.According to the STR,the patients were divided into STR (≥ 50%) group and no STR (< 50%) group.The relationship between STR and clinical prognosis of hospitalization or follow up were analyzed.Results The STR rate of patients with coronary multivessel disease or proximal lesions after PCI was lower than the rate of patients with coronary single vessel disease or distal lesions (P < 0.05).The incidence rate of major cardiac events and LVEDd during hospitalization in patients with proximal coronary lesions was obviously higher than patients with distal lesions,while LVEF was lower than distal lesions(P <0.01).It had no significant differences in LVEF,LVEDd between coronary multivessl disease and single vessel disease during follow up (P < 0.01).Conclusion It has significant relationship between coronary multivessel disease,proximal coronary,STR resolution in patients with AMI after PCI and the prognosis during hospitalization and follow up.

Objective To investigate the topographic distributions of dopamine transporter (DAT),dopamine D2 receptor and glucose in Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) using positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scanning and statistical parametric mapping (SPM) analysis.Methods Seventy subjects (39 PD patients,15 MSA patients and 16 normal controls) who came from People's Liberation Army General Hospital from September 2013 to November 2015 underwent DAT,D2 receptor and glucose brain PET/CT scans using 11 C-methyl-N-2-β-carbomethoxy-3-β-(4-fluorophenyl) tropane (11C-β-CFT),11C-raclopride and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) as radiotracers,respectively.The uptake patterns were analyzed using SPM software.Results Striatal DAT binding decreased in the putamen in PD patients compared with controls (Z =5.21-5.77,P =0.002-0.016).D2 receptor showed no significant differences.However,glucose uptake decreased in cingulate gyrus(Z =4.51-4.67,P =0.010-0.017).For MSA patients,both DAT and D2 receptor binding decreased in the putamen(Z =2.13-3.42,P =0.000-0.016).Glucose uptake decreased in the bilateral putamen,cerebellum and part of frontal temporal lobes (Z =1.86-3.75,P =0.000-0.032).Conclusion Multiple modalities PET/CT scans using the ligands 11 C-β-CFT,11C-raclopride,and 18F-FDG are valuable in diagnosis of MSA and differential diagnosis of MSA from PD.

Objective To investigate the effect of Smad3 on cell migration of A549 and HeLa cells.Methods Primers for pCMV-Myc-Smad3 plasmid construction and siRNA targeting Smad 3 were designed and synthesized .pCMV-Myc-Smad3 plasmid was constructed with molecular cloning techniques .Overexpression of Smad 3 with Myc-tag or silencing of endogenous Smad3, and then scratch assay was used to detect the migration ability of A 549 and HeLa cells in vitro. Results pCMV-Myc-Smad3 plasmid was successfully constructed .Overexpression of Smad 3 significantly up-regulated the migration rate of A549 and HeLa cells.Conversely, in the same cells, silencing of endogenous Smad3 or treatment with Smad3 inhibitor, SIS3, down-regulated the migration rate .Conclusions Smad3 promotes cell migration of A549 and HeLa cells.

Objective:To compare the accuracy of visual qualitative assessment and semi-quantitative analysis for 18F-florbetaben ( 18F-FBB) β-amyloid (Aβ) imaging in the diagnosis of Alzheimer′s disease (AD) and to explore their clinical application value. Methods:From January 2019 to October 2019, 17 patients (8 males, 9 females, age (74.1±8.5) years) with mild/moderate-stage clinically probable AD and 17 cognitive normal control (NC; 9 males, 8 females, age (64.5±6.3) years) were prospectively enrolled in this study. All patients underwent dynamic 18F-FBB PET/CT brain imaging in the Chinese PLA General Hospital. Visual qualitative assessment and semi-quantitative analysis methods were used to analyze PET brain imaging results. The difference of standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) between the two methods was analyzed by using independent sample t test. The consistency of the two methods and clinical results was analyzed by Kappa test. The cut-off value of SUVR for the diagnosis of AD was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of visual qualitative assessment to diagnose AD were 14/17, 16/17 and 88.2% (30/34). The global SUVR of NC and AD group were 1.09±0.85 and 1.75±0.25 ( t=-10.263, P<0.001), and the composite SUVR were 1.16±0.57 and 1.89±0.15 ( t=-10.789, P<0.001), respectively. The cut-off value of SUVR for the diagnosis of AD was 1.47, with the sensitivity of 15/17, the specificity of 16/17 and the accuracy of 91.2%(31/34). The visual qualitative assessment and semi-quantitative analysis had good consistency with clinical diagnosis results with Kappa value of 0.765 and 0.824 respectively (both P<0.001). Conclusion:The visual qualitative assessment and semi-quantitative analysis methods used in 18F-FBB Aβ imaging to diagnose AD patients show high accuracy and can provide effective value for clinical diagnosis, but the visual qualitative assessment method is concise and easy to grasp, which is worth further promotion and use in clinical.
