Porphyromonas gingivalis is strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of adult periodontitis, the major cause of tooth loss in adults. Use of an antibacterial agent controlling P. gingivalis as a periodontal therapeutic agent has been rationalized. The present study was performed to observe the antibacterial effect of inorganic polyphosphates (polyP) on P. gingivalis. P. gingivalis 2561 was grown in half-strength brain-heart infusion broth containing hemin and vitamin K with or without polyP. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of polyP with various chain lengths was determined by measuring the absorbance of the grown cells at 540 nm. MIC of polyP for the bacterium was determined to be 0.05%. The effect of polyP with a chain length of 75 (polyP 75) was further examined. PolyP 75 added to the growing culture of P. gingivalis at its exponential phase was as effective in inhibiting the growth of P. gingivalis as polyP 75 added at the very beginning of the culture. More than 99% of the cells lost their viability determined by viable cell count when polyP 75 was added to the culture of growing P. gingivalis at the concentration of 0.06%, suggesting that polyP 75 has a bactericidal effect on the bacterium. Intracellular nucleotide release from the cells was increased by approx. 20% in the presence of polyP 75 but was not reversed by the addition of divalent cations like Ca++ and Mg++. Under the transmission electron microscope, only a small number of the growing P. gingivalis cells were actually lysed. However, the majority of the cells appeared to be atypical in their shape, demonstrating accumulation of highly electron-dense granules and bodies of condensed nucleic acid-like material in the cytoplasm. In the presence of polyP 75, the protein profile of P. gingivalis was changed as determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblot, and the proteolytic activity of the bacterium demostrated on the zymograms was decreased. The overall results suggest that polyP have a strong bactericidal activity against P. gingivalis in which lysis in relation to chelation may not play the major role but unknown mechanism that possibly affects the viability of the bacterium may be involved. PolyP may be used as an agent for prevention and treatment of periodontitis.

PURPOSE: To compare results of the modified Brostrom procedure and the Chrisman-Snook procedure for chronic lateral ankle instability. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-eight patients (30 ankles) who underwent 20 modified Brostrom procedures or 10 Chrisman-Snook procedures were available. Follow-up averaged 3.2 years (1.3-5.4 years). Clinical results were graded according to the AOFAS clinical rating system. The talar tilting angle was also measured. RESULTS: Clinical results were rated as excellent in 15, good in 4, and fair in 1 ankle after the modified Brostrom procedure, and excellent in 7, and good in 3 ankles after the Chrisman-Snook procedure. Three complications occurred after the Chrisman-Snook procedure; delayed wound healing in 1 ankle, and transient neuralgia in 2. Mean talar tilting angle was improved from 17.4+/-6.6degrees to 6.6+/-1.2degrees by the modified Brostrom procedure, and from 15.6+/-5.9degrees to 3.0+/-1.1degrees by the Chrisman-Snook procedure. CONCLUSION: Significant differences were found in the clinical results obtained using the two procedures, and good function was obtained in a high percentage of patients. The procedure of choice should be decided upon based on the patient's condition and the doctor's preference.

PURPOSE: To assess the arthroscopic findings in chronic lateral ankle instability and to evaluate the results of modified Brostrom operation and arthroscopic procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-nine cases with chronic lateral ankle instability were treated with modified Brostrom operation and ankle arthroscopy from May 2004 to January 2007. There were 19 male and 10 female with the mean age of 29.7 years. Mean follow up period was 15.8 months. All patients were checked preoperative stress anterior drawer and varus test with X-ray. RESULTS: Associated injuries were 28 fat impingement projected into the joint between distal tibio-fibular space, 20 anterior impingement of soft tissue, 19 osteochondral defects and 13 loose body. Preoperative AOFAS score of pain, function and alignment were 28.9, 34.1 and 7.9 each other. They were improved into 38.7, 40.8 and 9.8 postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: Modified Brostrom operation with ankle arthroscopy for chronic lateral ankle instability is believed to be a reliable option to obtain satisfactory results. Careful attention to the associated injuries such as distal fat impingement, anterior impingement, osteochondral defect and loose body is needed during the arthroscopy.
