Objectives:To evaluate the efficiency of packing jaw defects with a composite of coral and bone marrow. Methods:Twelve patients (9 with jaw cyst and 3 with ameloblastoma) underwent enucleation of jaw lesion and packing with a composite of coral and bone marrow.Repair of the bone defects was evaluated at 1 week,1,6 and 12 months postoperatively by clinical examination and X-ray films. Results:Wound healing after the operations on 10 patients was uneventful,and definite ossification around the implanted material could be detected at 1 month postoperatively.A lot of bone formation and partial resorption of coral were observed at 6 months postoperatively.Complete resorption of coral and complete bone repair were obtained at 12 months postoperatively.Wound breakdown was observed on two other patients,and the composite had to be removed completely. Conclusions:A composite of coral and bone marrow may enhances bone healing in jaw defects after cyst or ameloblastoma removal.

Objective: To study stress distribution and displacement by different distract directioos on mandibular corpus with finite element method. Methods:A three-dimensional finite element model of mandibular distraction osteogenesis was established.Von Mises stress as well as the displac ement of gnathion and gonion under different loads were measured. Result s:The stress and displacement were positively related with distract forc e. Von Mises stress primarily accumulated in distracted areas and were higher un der bilateral distraction parallel to the occlusial plane. Gnathion and gonion w ere positively displaced on X and Z axes and negatively displaced on Y axis. Distraction parallel to the mandibular body induced positive displaceme nt of mandible on X and Y axes and negative on Z axis. Concl usion:Transversal displacement to the opposite side is greater during un ilateral distraction, while displacement on the saggittal plane is greater durin g bilateral distraction.

BACKGROUND: So far there is a lack of reliable biomedical evidence about the effects of three-dimensional y (3D) printed porous β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffold loading poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/anti-tuberculosis drug control-release microspheres on the growth and proliferation of cel s, especial y osteoblasts. OBJECTIVE: To construct porous β-TCP scaffold loading PLGA/anti-tuberculosis drug control-release microspheres by 3D printing technology and to detect its cytotoxicity. METHODS: Twenty porous β-TCP scaffolds whose aperture was 400 μm were prepared by 3D printing technology. Ten of these scaffolds were randomly selected for loading PLGA/anti-tuberculosis drug control-release microspheres, and the others were without any drugs. Then the extracts from two groups were cultured with osteoblasts for 72 hours. Afterwards, cel morphology was observed by inverted phase contrast microscope, and the absorbance value was detected using cel counting kit-8 assay. Besides, the relative growth rate of osteoblasts was calculated to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the scaffold. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The drug-loaded scaffold exhibited with moderate size, regular structure and uniform pores. Within 72 hours of culture in the extracts from the drug-loaded scaffold, elongated or fusiform osteoblasts appeared, with less karyopycnosis. Moreover, the drug-loaded scaffold showed slight cytotoxicity, which was classified as grade 1. In conclusion, the 3D-pinted porous β-TCP scaffold loading PLGA/anti-tuberculosis drug control-release microspheres exhibits no obvious cytotoxicity.

Objective To observe the effects of the Ossatron high-energy shock waves on bone nonunion and delayed union.Methods Between October 2004 and October 2005,18 patients with nonunion and four patients with delayed union were treated with high-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy(Ossatron,HMT Co., Swiss).Facture lines were located with C-arm X-ray before treatment.Parameters of shock waves were decided according to fracture sites.Patients with unstable fixation received plaster or bracing for 6 to 8 weeks after treatment. After therapy,follow-up radiography was performed at 6 and 12 weeks and monthly afterwards until the fracture united. Results The mean follow-up was 6.7 months(range,3 to 12 months).There were no complications except local petechial hemorrhage and local swelling in 10 patients.Thirteen patients(59.1%)got bony union,including 12 patients(66.7% )with stable internal fixation,and the average healing time was 4.3 months(range,6 weeks to 6 months).Nine fractures(40.9%)still suffered nonunion.Conclusion High-energy shock waves are a good alternative therapy for nonunion and delayed union,with obvious advantages of being non-invasive and safe.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of SleX and CD24 in nasal inverted papilloma and its pathologic features.METHODS HE staining were conducted to study the pathologic features in specimens of 11 cases with nasal inverted papilloma. Further,immunohistochemistry stain for SleX and CD24 were performed in total specimens.RESULTS One case(9.1%) was diagnosed as severe atypical hyperplasia but tumor cells did not invaded basal membranes.SleX staining located at cell membranes. Positive SleX staining was found in 9 specimens (81.8%) and 1 normal nasal epithelium (16.7%).CD24 staining located in cytoplasm.Positive CD24 staining was found in 8 specimens of nasal inverted papilloma (72.7%). CD24 was negative in nasal epithelial cells and only a few lymphocytes were positive.CONCLUSION Some cases of nasal inverted papilloma are diagnosed with severe atypical hyperplasia.Most of cases express CD24,so nasal inverted papilloma may be a borderline tumor.Expression of SleX and infiltration of inflammatory cells suggest that nasal inverted papilloma may be related to inflammatory reactions.

AIM Objective By comparing E.coli's resistance to antibiotics and Chinese medical herbs before and after incubated in LB containing Neomycin or Chinese medical herbs, we try to understand the difference in their mechanism of resistance. METHODS We incubated E.coli cells under the culturing media with low concentration of Neomycin and Chinese medicine herbs respectively; lately, the culturing process were continued under the media with no Neomycin or Chinese medicine herbs. We tested the minimal inhibitory concentrations(MIC)of Neomycin(Kanamycin, Gentamicin, Tetracyclin etc) and Chinese medical herbs to culture cells. Result The experimental data indicated that increased resistance of population cells in the broth including Neomycin happened easily, as well as multi resistance simultaneously. As for the Chinese medical herbs, the case is different. After growing in the LB containing one of Huang Lian (rhizoma coptidis), Berberine or San-Huang-Tang of low concentrations, population cells did not increase their resistance either to antibiotics or to Chinese medical herbs. Removing the pressure of Neomycin, E.coli population cells resistance came back to the initial level. CONCLUSION The increased antibiotic resistance of population cells is unstable, and alternative using of different antibiotics maybe contribute to the alleviation of antibiotics resistance.
