Objective:To compare the maxillary sinus mucosa's stress distribution when elevated by three lift materials.Methods:Three Finite element models of maxillary sinus mucosa with 0.3 mm thickness elevated by implant,grafting autogenous cancellous bone and hydroxyapatite respectively were established in the specific units.ANSYS finite element analysis software was used to evaluate maxillary sinus mucosa deformation by the simulated closed sinus lift surgery.Differences of Von Mises stress values of mucosa surface were calculated when maxillary sinus mucosa lift height was increased from 1 mm to 5 mm according to the a large deformation theory. Results:The Von Mises stress values on membrane surface elevated by implant,grafting autogenous cancellous bone and hydroxyapa-tite bone substitute materials showed no difference within 5 mm elevation.Conclusion:Closed maxillary sinus floor lifting operation with implant elevating the maxillary sinus membrane directly is a simple and minimally invasive way for sinus floor elevation.

BACKGROUND:How to avoid iatrogenic maxil ary sinus mucosal perforation after closed maxil ary sinus augmentation.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the influence of maxil ary sinus mucosa at different thicknesses on the mucosal perforation in closed maxil ary sinus augmentation operation by using finite element analysis.
METHODS:Three finite element models of maxil ary sinus mucosa at different thicknesses of 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm respectively and implant with 4.2 mm diameter were established in the SHELL63 units. ANSYS finite element analysis software was used to evaluate maxil ary sinus mucosal deformation by the simulated closed maxil ary sinus augmentation surgery. Differences of Von Mises maximum stress values of mucosa surface were calculated according to the non-linear large-deformation theory.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:When maxil ary sinus mucosa height was increased from 1 mm to 5 mm, the large deformation was observed in the center of mucosa center. The maximum stress curve slope was shifted mild between 1-4 mm deformation, while shifted abruptly after 4 mm. There was no difference in the value of Von Mises maximum stress values between three maxil ary sinus mucosa at 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm thickness, when the lift height was increased from 1 mm to 5 mm (P>0.05). Maxil ary sinus mucosa are faced with a higher risk of mucosal perforation and elastic elongation when maxil ary sinus height is increased more than 4 mm. Maxil ary sinus mucosa at 0.3-0.8 mm thickness are faced the similar risk of mucosal perforation in closed maxil ary sinus augmentation operation within 5 mm. While more considerations should be paid on patients with less than 0.3 mm maxil ary sinus mucosa thickness.

BACKGROUND:Various factors can affect the osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cel s, and the osteoinductive factor of traditional Chinese medicine is very important for the research of human adipose-derived stem cel s. OBJECTIVE:To investagate the effects of ginsenoside Rb1 on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cel s in vitro. METHODS:The human adipose-derived stem cel s were isolated and cultured in vitro. After passaqed to the third generation, human adipose-derived stem cel s at 2×103/wel were incubated in a 96-wel plate, and treated with 200μL of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0,6.0μmol/L ginsenoside Rb1 medium. The human adipose-derived stem cel s in the control group were treated with an equal volume of Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium. Growth curves were examined by 2,3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulphenyl)-(2H)-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide T colorimetric assay. Alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin content were detected by alkaline phosphatase kit and radio-immunity method, respectively. Calcified nodules were observed using alizarin red O staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The proliferation viability of human adipose-derived stem cel s was significantly increased after cultured with 0.5μmol/L ginsenoside Rb1. With the increasing of the concentration of ginsenoside Rb1, the mitogenic activity of the cel s was decreased. The 6.0μmol/L ginsenoside Rb1 showed a depressant effect on proliferation. Ginsenoside Rb1 could promote alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin expression in human adipose-derived stem cel s and showed a dose-dependent manner. Calcified nodule formation induced by 4.6 and 6.0μmol/L ginsenoside Rb1 were better when compared with 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0μmol/L ginsenoside Rb1. Ginsenoside Rb1 can promote the proliferation of human adipose-derived stem cel s cultured in vitro in a certain concentration, and in the high concentration, the ginsenoside Rb1 can promote the osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cel s. So ginsenoside Rb1 can be used as an osteoinductive factor.

Objective To evaluate the effect of neurectomy and chemodenervation of the masseter muscle on mandible bone mineral density.Methods Thirty 28-day-old Wistar rats were divided into four groups:operation groups 1 and 2,botulinum toxin group and control group.The main trunk and initial branches of masseteric nerve on the right side were resected in the operation group 1.The nerve was exposed,but not resected in the operation group 2.The right side of masseter muscle was injected with botulinum toxin type A and the left side was injected with sterile saline in botulinum toxin group when the rats were 28 days old.The control group was only anaesthetised.Bilateral mandibles of all four groups were scanned by GE lunar prodigy bone densitometer when the rats were 75 days old.Results BMD was (0.184±0.012) g/cm2 on the left side and (0.184±0.026) g/cm2on the right side in operation group 1.BMD was (0.179±0.022) g/cm2 on the left side and (0.173±0.019) g/cm2 on the right side in operation group 2.BMD was (0.165±0.061) g/cm2 on the left side and (0.158±0.051) g/cm2 on the right side in botulinum toxin group.BMD was (0.196±0.026) g/cm2 on the left side and (0.185±0.022) g/cm2 on the right side in control group.The variance of BMD between two sides of each group was not significant difference.The variances of BMD among the right side of the four groups were not significant difference.Conclusions No pathological changes in mandibular bone mineral density after denervation and chemodenervation of the massetermuscle are observed in this study.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the roles of MMPs-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 in cesarean section scar healing.

METHODSThe expressions of the MMPs-9, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were detected by EnVision immunohistochemistry in 22 pregnant women with serious complications of the uterine scar, including 8 with early caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and 14 with full-term pregnancy undergoing hysterectomy for placenta previa or implanted placenta. Thirty-eight full-term pregnant women without serious complications of the uterine scar and 32 normal full-term pregnant women served as the control I and control II groups, respectively.

RESULTSThe expressions of MMPs-9 and TIMP-1 differed significantly between the 3 groups (P<0.05), whereas TIMP-2 did not (P>0.05). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the expression of MMPs-9 in the uterine scar tissues was positively correlated with poor uterine scar healing with the correlation coefficients of 0.309 and 0.643. An increased severity of poor healing scar was associated with a significantly increased expression of MMPs-9 (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe imbalanced expressions of MMPs-9 and TIMP-1 in injury repair can be related to poor uterine scar healing and CSP.
