Objective To evaluate in vitro effects of propranolol and isoproterenol on proliferation of infantile hemangioma endothelial cells(IHECs)as well as expressions of vascular endothelial growth factors(VEGF and VEGF-2) and human basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Methods The second - third passage endothelial cells derived from the proliferative phase of infantile hemangioma were divided into propranolol and isoproterenol groups. The propranolol group was further classified into 5 groups to be treated with propranolol solutions at concentrations of 10, 15, 20 mg/L, EGM-2 medium (blank control group 1), or EGM-2 medium containing 0.16% DMSO (DMSO group), while the isoproterenol group was classified into 4 groups to be treated with isoproterenol solutions at concentrations of 5, 10, 20 mg/L or EGM-2 medium(blank control group 2). Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay was performed to evaluate cellular proliferative activity in these propranolol groups at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours separately, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)to measure VEGF, VEGF-2 and bFGF lev els in culture supernatants of IHECs at 24 and 48 hours separately. Results The proliferative activity of IHECs showed no significant differences between 10-, 15- and 20-mg/L propranolol groups at either 24 or 48 hours (H = 1.152, 2.643, respectively, both P > 0.05), or between the blank control group 1, DMSO group, and 10- and 15-mg/L propranolol groups at either 72 or 96 hours, but significantly decreased in the 20-mg/L propranolol group compared with the blank control group 1 at 72 and 96 hours (both P < 0.05). The 24-hour treatments with propranolol or isoproterenol at the above concentrations all affected the expressions of VEGF, VEGF-2 and bFGF to different degrees. At 48 hours, there was a significant decrease in VEGF levels in 15- and 20-mg/L propranolol groups, as well as in VEGF-2 and bFGF levels in 10-, 15- and 20-mg/L propranolol groups compared with the blank control group 1 (all P < 0.05), but a significant increase in VEGF levels in 5-, 10- and 20-mg/L isoproterenol groups compared with the blank control group 2 (all P < 0.05), as well as in VEGF-2 and bFGF levels in the 20-mg/L isoproterenol group compared with the blank control group 2, 5- and 10-mg/L isoproterenol groups (all P < 0.05). Conclusions The treatment with propranolol at certain concentrations for certain durations can suppress the growth of, as well as expressions of VEGF, VEGF-2 and bFGF in, endothelial cells derived from the proliferative phase of infantile hemangioma, whereas that with isoproterenol has opposite effects. The therapeutic mechanism of propranolol in infantile hemangioma may be associated with expressions of β-adrenergic receptors and their downstream signal transduction-related cytokines.

Objective:To investigate the changes of the vertical height and width of the alveolar bone six months after the alveolar ridge preservation in periodontal compromised molar sites of severe alveolar bone defects with clinical direct measurement,parallel periapical radiographs,and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT),and to analyze the effect of the three different methods of measurement.Methods:In this study,20 subjects requiring tooth extraction on account of periodontal disease with a total of 23 ex-tracted molars were enrolled.Extractions were performed atraumatically and patients were received alveo-lar ridge preservation procedure with Bio-Ossand Bio-Gide.Clinical direct measurements were taken after tooth extraction and during the implant surgery 6 months later,CBCT scans and parallel periapical radiographs were taken immediately after ridge preservation and 6 months later.The changes of alveolar ridge width and vertical height after six months were measured and analyzed through the above-mentioned three methods and the similarities and differences of the measured effect were compared.Results:There were no significant difference of alveolar vertical height in the center of the extraction sites,the center of distal aspect,and distobuccal aspect between the clinical direct measurements and the CBCT measure-ments (P>0.05),alveolar vertical height in other points and alveolar width measurements were statical-ly significant (P<0.05).After 6 months,1 0 sites of 1 0 subjects were received a flap and re-entered to perform dental implants surgery.The vertical height in the center of alveolar increased significantly and the changes of alveolar vertical height of clinical direct and CBCT measurement were (6.1 5 ±1 .73)mm and (6.59 ±2.53)mm,respectively.The measurements of the width of the alveolar bone were (8.45 ± 1 .1 8)mm and (8.52 ±1 .27)mm,respectively.The measurements of the two methods were not statisti-
cally significant (P>0.05).The change of the alveolar height in the center of the extraction socket after six months measured by parallel periapical was (5.84 ±4.28)mm,which was closed to the clinical di-rect measurement and the CBCT measurement.Conclusion:Clinical direct measurement and CBCT measurement were largely consistent in the evaluation of the alveolar bone height and width after the alveolar ridge preservation using deproteinized boving bone mineral (DBBM,Bio-Oss)and bioabsor-bable collagen membrane (Bio-Gide)in periodontal compromised molar sites of severe bone defects.
