Along with recent advances in biological signal molecule and tissue engineering technology,periodontal regeneration has been gained more and more new opportunities,but also faces many challenges.This paper briefly reviewes the preclinical and clinical studies of periodontal tissue regeneration,highlighting the latest achievement and progress in the clinical study of biological signal molecules and stem cell therapy in the treatment of periodontal disease worldwide.

AIM:To evaluate the effects of treatment with HP 1188-immunoglobulin yolk ( HP1188-IgY) on Helicobacter pylori ( H.pylori)-infected gastritis in BALB/c mice.METHODS:BALB/c mice were used to establish an animal model of H.pylori-infected gastritis, and the mice were divided into 8 groups (10 mice per group).Oral antibiotics were used in group 1, 1 mg HP1188-IgY in group 2, 1 mg HP1188-IgY plus 30%sucralfate in group 3, 5 mg HP1188-IgY in group 4, 5 mg HP1188-IgY plus 30%sucralfate in group 5, PBS in group 6, and 30% sucralfate in group 7 with the treatment once per day for 10 d;and 2.5 mg HP1188-IgY was injected hypodermically twice with a 48-h interval in group 8.Another 10 mice were used as normal control in group 9.The planting of bacteria in the stomach was assayed by bacteri-al culture, rapid urease test, PCR and pathological sectioning .RESULTS:Intragastric administration with 1 mg HP1188-IgY plus 30%sucralfate per day effectively cured the injury of gastric mucosa caused by H.pylori infection, and the effect has no significant difference compared with antibiotics (P>0.05).CONCLUSION:We establish a BALB/c mouse mod-el infected with H.pylori successfully.Sucralfate (30%) is an ideal protectant for HP1188-IgY, which might decrease H. pylori infection in the stomach of BALB/c mice by oral inoculation .

Objective To study the mechanism of serum thyroxin and insulin change after hemihepatectomy. Methods The hemihepatectomy was performed in rabbits, the fasting peripheral blood samples were drawn on the day prior to surgery, and 24 hour, 48 hour, the first week, one month after operation respectively for monitoring the serum thyroxin and insulin.Results The level of TT 3 was (1.93?0.47) nmol/L, TT 4 (53.56?8.4) nmol/L preoperatively. The levels of TT 3 and TT 4 significantly decreased at 24 hour postoperatively, and gradually rose at 48 hour and up to normal levels in the first month postoperatively. The level of insulin rapidly rose immediately after operation, and began to decrease in the first week, and returned to the preoperative level in one month after operation. Conclusions The syndrome of normal thyroid disease and the syndrome of non thyroid disease can occur after hemihepatectomy; and hyperinsulinemia also can occur after hemihepatectomy.

Cerebral artery embolism is a rare but serious complication of facial plastic surgery. This paper reports a case of severe total cerebral arterial fat embolism caused by facial autologous fat injection. The patient past away after 40 hours of treatment. The cause of this total cerebral artery embolism patient was analyzed by tracing relevant medical history and cephalic CTA examination. By studying this case, we hope to reduce the occurrence of similar situations in the future.

This study investigated the perceptions and medical history of third molars (M3s) and assessed the prevalence of visible M3s (V-M3s) among 904 Chinese adults. The enrolled participants were interviewed to complete a structural questionnaire focused on sociodemographic information and their understanding of, attitudes toward, behaviors regarding, and medical history with respect to M3s. In addition, the number of V-M3s in the cohort was determined by oral examination. Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the association between individuals' sociodemographic characteristics and their perception of M3s or the presence of V-M3s. The Chi-square test was used to compare the actions taken against symptomatic M3s and the corresponding outcomes among different groups divided according to respondents' sociodemographic factors. In total, 904 completed questionnaires were gathered and analyzed. Nearly half (43.9%) of the respondents knew nothing about M3s, and only 12.7% provided correct answers to all the questions asked. Male sex, older age, occupation involving physical labor, and no previous dental experience were active factors in unawareness of M3s. Male sex was also significantly associated with the presence of at least one V-M3 and negative behavior about symptomatic M3s. In terms of medical history, 192 participants reported having had at least one M3 extracted (438 in total), and 72.6% of the M3s were removed due to the presence of related symptoms or pathologies. In conclusion, the population investigated had a shortage of knowledge about M3s and adopted negative attitudes and actions about M3-related problems.
