Objective To study the mandibular anterior alveolar morphological characteristics of skeletal ClassⅢmalocclusion patients by CT quantitative research , which can provide guidances and indications for clinical skeletal Class Ⅲmalocclusion treatment and prevent iatrogenic complications , such as rootabsorption. Method 25 skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion patients during thepostpubertal were selected , three-dimensionalspiralCTscanning was applied to measure cortical and cancellousbonethickness around 6 mandibular incisors for analyzing the relationship between the bone mass and its anatomyaround the mandibular incisors roots. Results (1) The bone thickness around the lower anterior homonym teeth was basically symmetric in the skeletal Class III malocclusion. The labial thickness is a little less than the lingual side , gradually thickening along the root apical direction; (2) The area of mandibular incisors was inhomogeneous , and the 1/2 regional cancellous bone thickness of mandibular incisors was often lacked. Conclusion (1) The synchronous compensation of the teeth and alveolar bone is the significant feature of the skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion. (2) The responding regions ofthe alveolar bone in the 1/3 labial-cervical and root-tip may be the sensitive areas during the orthodontic treatment.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of percutaneous locking compression plate(LCP) internal fixation for distal tibial comminuted fracture.Methods35 patients of distal tibial Comminuted fracture were treated with percutaneous locking compression plate(LCP) internal fixation.ResultsAll patients were followed up for average 1.8 years(ranging from 1 to 2.5 years).All of cases have healed well,and the average bone healing was 14.6 weeks (ranging from 8 to 28 weeks ).All of them have no infection and no loosening or breakage of internal fixation.According to Mazur criterion,excellent effect 17 cases,good effect 16 cases,fair effect 1 case poor effect 1 case,94.3％ was excellent or good.ConclusionThe LCP internal fixation for distal tibial comminuted fracture have the advantage of less invasive,good internal fixation and bone union fastly and little complications.

BACKGROUND: The source of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is limited, and the cellular morphology,proliferation and multi-directional differentiation capacities can vary during serial passages in BMSCs in vitro.OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) on cellular morphology, proliferation and differentiation of serially passaged BMSCs.METHODS: (1) BMSCs were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats and cultured. These cells were passaged six times in vitro, and the cellular morphology was observed and photographed. (2) BMSCs at passage 6 were seeded into 96-well plates and randomly divided into control group and FGF treatment group. The proliferation of cells in both groups was detected with cell counting kit-8 kit at days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 after culture. (3) BMSCs at passage 6 were seeded into 6-well plates and randomly divided into control group and FGF treatment group. After 7 days treatment with growth medium or growth medium containing FGF, the cellular morphology was observed and photographed. And then the cells of both groups were treated with osteogenic induction medium, adipogenic induction medium and chondrogenic induction medium for the next 7 days. The osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic related genes (RUNX2, ALP, OCN;PPARγ2, AP2, ADIPOQ; SOX9, collagen II, aggrecan) were detected with real-time PCR. The protein expressions of RUNX2, PPARγ2, SOX9 were detected with western blot assay. (4) BMSCs at passage 6 were seeded into 6-well plates and randomly divided into control group and FGF treatment group. After 7 days treatment with growth medium or growth medium containing FGF, the cells were cultured with osteogenic induction medium, adipogenic induction medium and chondrogenic induction medium for the next 14 days. Then, alizarin red S staining, oil red O staining and alcian blue staining were performed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) After in vitro passage for six times, the cellular morphology changed obviously, and FGF treatment recovered the characteristics of primary cells. (2) Compared with the control group, the cell proliferation in the FGF treatment group was significantly increased (P < 0.05). (3) Compared with the control group, the expression of osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic related genes (RUNX2, ALP, OCN; PPARγ2, AP2, ADIPOQ; SOX9, collagen II, aggrecan) was increased significantly in the FGF treatment group (P < 0.05). The protein expressions of RUNX2,PPARγ2, SOX9 were also higher in the FGF treatment group than the control group (P < 0.05). (4) Compared with the control group, the number of extracellular calcium nodules, the number of intracellular lipid droplets, and the expression of acid acidic mucopolysaccharide were significantly increased after FGF pretreatment. To conclude, FGF pretreatment can preserve the stemness of BMSCs serially passaged in vitro.
