BACKGROUND:Based on variational principle and weighting technology of three-dimensional finite element method, human teeth with a complex morphology can be modeled, which helps to understand the stress distribution of dental hard tissue and prosthesis during the dynamic repair process. OBJECTIVE:To comprehensively analyze the three-dimensional finite element studies concerning biomechanics of dental prostheses, focusing on the effects of metal crown, porcelain thickness, root canal preparation and fil ing on the tooth stress. METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed (1993-04/2012-09), China Academic Journal Network Publishing Database (2001-2008), and VIP (2001-2008) was performed by the first author to retrieve articles concerning the effects of metal crown, porcelain thickness, root canal preparation and fil ing on the tooth stress. The keywords were“porcelain-fused-to-metal, finite element method, stress analysis, root canal”in English and Chinese. Articles with repetitive contents or meta-analysis were ruled out. Then 40 articles were suitable for further analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Finite element method has important significance to establish high-fidelity and high-accuracy models in oral medicine, thereby providing effective biomechanical information for the root canal treatment and post-treatment repair. Scholars continue to explore the stress distribution of dental prostheses during chewing. This review summarizes the stress changes of post and core crowns, supporting reference for further research. Three-dimensional finite element method can be used to build nonlinear three-dimensional finite element models with anisotropic biomechanical characteristics, and can gradual yimprove the transition from static analysis to a dynamic analysis, truly achieving accurate simulation of oral biology and dental morphology as wel as chewing function of the teeth.

This study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of solution form of 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on removing smear layer of root canals at different exposure time periods and to provide scientific basis for EDTA as a choice of root canal irrigation in clinical practice. Twenty-five single-rooted teeth were randomly divided into 5 groups: control group (group A) was given 2.5% NaOCl, and 4 experimental groups were given 2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA, including groups B, C, D and E with exposure time of 1, 3, 5 and 7 min, respectively. After preparation of the root canals, the teeth were split along their longitudinal axis, and the root sections were examined under scanning electron microscope for evaluation of smear layer removal and erosion on the surface of the root canal walls. The specimens in group B showed presence of smear layer on the walls of the root canal with no statistical difference from that in group A (P>0.05). In groups C and D, partial removal of smear layer was obtained, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05), but there was significant difference in removal of smear layer between group C and group B (P<0.05). Root canal walls in group E specimens showed almost complete removal of smear layer, and the removal of smear layer was significantly different from that in group D (P<0.01). There was no significant change in the structure of the surface of root canal for each sample. It was concluded that combined irrigation with 17% EDTA and 2.5% NaOCl could remove the smear layer with no significant alteration in dentinal structure when the chelating agent was applied for 7 min. At 3 and 5 min of application, partial removal of smear layer was observed and at 1 min negligible removal of smear layer was achieved.

Objective To investigate whether KAP-1 could induce CSC-self renewal in pancreatic cancer cell lines.Methods KAP-1 expression was examined in 14 cases of pancreatic cancer with immunohistochemistry.KAP-1 shRNA amplified by PCR was inserted into pGC-LV in vector,and then identified by restriction endonuclease digestion and nucleotide sequencing.The lentiviral vector pGC-shRNA-KAP-1 was co-transfected with pHelper 1.0 and pHelper 2.0 packaging plasmids into HEK 293T cells,and the lentivirus was collected and virus titer was measured.The expressions of KAP-1 and vimentin were detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR when human pancreatic cancer cell line Panc-1 was infected by the lentivirus.Sphere forming assay was conducted to assess the capacity of CSC or CSC-like cell self-renewal in this study.Results The KAP-1 expression level in cancerous tissues on immunohistochemistry was significantly higher than in the corresponding normal tissues (P=0.002).After infected by lentivirus,the expressions of KAP-1 and vimentin were knocked down,which could be detected by Wesren blot and RT-qPCR.Compared to Panc-1-GFP (NC) cells,the outcomes suggested that knocking down the expression of KAP-1 could decrease the formation of pancreatospheres,which further suggested the capacity of CSC-self-renewal in primary and secondary pancreatospheres of Panc-1-shRNA-KAP-1 and NC cells.Conclusions KAP-1 expression in pancreatic cancer tissues has been identified.The lentiviral vector for shRNAs targeting KAP-1 was constructed successfully.The formation of pancreatospheres decreased by knocking down the KAP 1 gene.KAP-1 is involved in the regulation of CSC phenotype.The mechanism is probably related to the upregulated expression of the EMT marker vimentin.
