Objective This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of concentrated growth factor(CGF)membrane and collagen as barrier materials in sealing the alveolar socket in alveolar ridge preservation(ARP)in the posterior region during a one-year follow-up.Methods A total of 24 pa-tients who underwent ARP in the posterior region were selected for inclusion and randomly assigned to the CGF group(12 cases)and Collagen group(12 cases).The pa-tients in both groups underwent extraction of posterior teeth.The extraction sockets were filled with a bone sub-stitute to the level of the pre-extraction buccal and lingual or palatal alveolar bone plates.The wounds in the CGF group were closed with a fabricated CGF overlaying the upper edge of the bone substitute material,whereas those in the Colla-gen group were closed with Bio-Oss Collagen.The implants were placed after 6 months.The evaluation was based on implant retention,re-grafting rate,and vertical and horizontal alveolar ridge bone volume changes measured by cone beam computed tomography(CBCT).Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 28.0 software.Results No patient withdrew throughout the follow-up period.No implant failure and no severe peri-implant or mucosal soft tissue compli-cations were observed.Six months after the operation,the degree of vertical alveolar ridge height resorption in the CGF group was lower than that in the Collagen group(P<0.05).There were no statistically difference between the groups at 1 year after the operation(P>0.05).The amount of bone reduction in horizontal alveolar ridge width showed no difference between the groups at 6 months and 1 year after surgery(P>0.05).Conclusion CGF membrane and Bio-Oss Collagen as barrier materials for posterior ARP inhibited reduction in alveolar ridge bone mass.

Bone formation and deposition are initiated by sensory nerve infiltration in adaptive bone remodeling. Here, we focused on the role of Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A), expressed by sensory nerves, in mechanical loads-induced bone formation and nerve withdrawal using orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) model. Firstly, bone formation was activated after the 3rd day of OTM, coinciding with a decrease in sensory nerves and an increase in pain threshold. Sema3A, rather than nerve growth factor (NGF), highly expressed in both trigeminal ganglion and the axons of periodontal ligament following the 3rd day of OTM. Moreover, in vitro mechanical loads upregulated Sema3A in neurons instead of in human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) within 24 hours. Furthermore, exogenous Sema3A restored the suppressed alveolar bone formation and the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs induced by mechanical overload. Mechanistically, Sema3A prevented overstretching of F-actin induced by mechanical overload through ROCK2 pathway, maintaining mitochondrial dynamics as mitochondrial fusion. Therefore, Sema3A exhibits dual therapeutic effects in mechanical loads-induced bone formation, both as a pain-sensitive analgesic and a positive regulator for bone formation.

While the development of multi-campus hospitals is conducive to promoting the expansion and equal distribution of high-quality medical resources and improving the overall medical quality of municipalities, the model puts forward high requirements for the capabilities of integrated operation and management of public hospitals. As key part of health services and the higher medical education system, facing the multi-campus hospital reform, hospital affiliated to colleges and universities should carry out rearrangements in both medical and educational aspects at the same time. Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine has made substantial progress in integrated and homogenized management since the integration of the Lingang campus as a whole into the parent hospital in 2021. The department of undergraduate clinical medical education has analyzed the difficulties in teaching management and talent cultivation in the multi-campus system during the rearrangement process, forming a coordinated management mechanism for undergraduate clinical medical education within campuses under the concept of "homogeneity-difference-collaboration". This article may provide a reference for enriching multi-campus hospital management practice and improving the quality of undergraduate clinical medical education in hospitals affiliated to colleges and universities.

Objective·To reveal the direction,efficiency,and mechanical load of single tooth displacement with clear aligners for expansion treatment during the transitional dentition period with the aid of finite element analysis.Additionally,overcorrection and torque compensation systems were designed to address insufficient expansion efficiency and buccal inclination of posterior teeth.Methods·One volunteer in mixed dentition period was included to construct a three dimentional cranio-maxillary complex model and an invisible orthodontic system,simulating the buccal displacement(load 1?4:0.200,0.275,0.300,0.325 mm,respectively)and root buccal torque(load 1:buccal displacement load 0.200 mm,root buccal torque 0°;load 5:buccal displacement load 0.275 mm,root buccal torque 1.0°;load 6:buccal displacement load 0.300 mm,root buccal torque 1.3° and load 7:buccal displacement load 0.325mm,root buccal torque 1.8°)on the maxillary deciduous teeth to the first permanent molar with a non bracket invisible orthodontic appliance.Through finite element analysis,the tooth displacement and equivalent stress distribution of the periodontal membrane can be calculated.Results·Expansion treatment with clear aligners in the transitional dentition phase primarily revealed the effect of buccal expansion of teeth;different teeth achieved different levels of expansion rate.At a set expansion amount of 0.200 mm per side,expansion efficiency in the maxillary first permanent molar was 51.86%,second primary molar 68.76%,first primary molar 73.48%,and primary cuspid 84.17%.By designing over-correction(0.275,0.300,0.325 mm),the results showed significant enhancement in expansion effect.When overcorrection length reached 150%(0.300 mm),expansion efficiency at the maxillary first permanent molar,second primary molar,first primary molar,and primary cuspid were 75.16%,99.96%,107.35%,and 122.37%,respectively.The expansion efficiency of maxillary second primary molar,first primary molar,and primary cuspid was close to 100.00%.The overcorrection design exacerbated the dental effects of expansion,intensifying the tendency for teeth to tilt toward the cheek side,leading to side effects such as buccal inclination and drooping of the palatal cusps.When the overcorrection amount for expansion reached 150%,the crown-root displacement in the upper first permanent molar,second primary molar,first primary molar,and primary cuspid were-0.109,-0.134,-0.132,and-0.298 mm,respectively.Applying specific torque compensation for different tooth positions can combat the buccal inclination of posterior teeth.At an overcorrection length of 150%(0.300 mm)with an added 1.3° root buccal torque,expansion efficiency was 56.15%,73.88%,79.49%,and 87.80%,respectively.While the crown-root displacement differences reduced to-0.081,-0.097,-0.095,and-0.208 mm.Conclusion·When using clear aligners for expansion treatment during a transitional dentition period,side effects such as buccal inclination of posterior teeth exist.Furthermore,various teeth realize differing levels of expansion efficiency,necessitating the design of unique adjustment strategies according to different tooth positions.Overcorrection can improve expansion efficiency but needs to be coordinated with root buccal torque for the whole tooth to move buccally.
