Objective:To analyze the effects of basic treatment of periodontal diseases combined with orthodontic treatment on periodontal pocket depth and bleeding index (BI) in patients with anterior tooth displacement caused by periodontal diseases.Methods:A total of 136 patients with anterior tooth displacement due to periodontal disease treated in the Second People′s Hospital of Yueqing from October 2020 to October 2022 were enrolled and they were divided into two groups by random number table method, and each group with 68 cases. The control group was given basic treatment for periodontal disease, while the experimental group was combined with orthodontic treatment on the basis of the control group. The clinical efficacy, masticatory efficiency, periodontal pocket depth (PD), probing BI, gingival sulcus inflammatory factors and the total incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The total effective rate in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group: 95.59%(65/68) vs. 79.41%(54/68), there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). After treatment for 3 months, the masticatory efficiency in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, and PD, BI in the experimental group were lower than that in the control group: (70.52 ± 6.88) % vs.(61.52 ± 4.04) %, (2.12 ± 0.62) mm vs. (3.18 ± 0.85) mm, (1.26 ± 0.26) scores vs. (2.42 ± 0.33) scores, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group: (11.16 ± 1.85) μg/L vs. (16.92 ± 2.84) μg/L, (8.16 ± 1.34) ng/L vs. (15.49 ± 2.74) ng/L, (6.18 ± 1.46) ng/L vs. (10.33 ± 1.75) ng/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The total complication rate in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group: 1.47%(1/68) vs. 11.76%(8/68), there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Basic treatment of periodontal diseases combined with orthodontics can effectively improve the masticatory efficiency of patients with anterior tooth displacement caused by periodontal diseases, reduce PD,BI and alleviate gingival sulcus inflammation, and reduce the incidence complications.

Objective To explore the relationship between sleep disorders and polysomnography parameters and serum 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)levels in Parkinson's disease patients.Methods 80 Parkinson's disease patients admitted of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine from July 2021 to June 2023 were collected,and based on the Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)score divided them into study group(n=46,PSQI>10 points)and control group(n=34,PSQI≤10 points).Overnight polysomnography monitoring on two groups of patients was conducted,serum 5-HT levels were detected,polysomnography parameters and serum 5-HT levels between two groups were compared,and the correlation between sleep disorders and polysomnography parameters and serum 5-HT levels were analyzed.Results The total sleep time of study group was significantly shorter than that of control greup,sleep efficiency,and minimum blood oxygen saturation of study group were significantly lower than those of control group(P<0.05).The serum 5-HT levels in study group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).Correlation analysis showed that the PSQI score was negatively correlated with total sleep time,sleep efficiency,minimum blood oxygen saturation,and serum 5-HT levels(P<0.05).Conclusion Sleep disorders in Parkinson's disease patients are associated with decreased total sleep time,sleep efficiency,minimum blood oxygen saturation and serum 5-HT levels.
