METHODS: The cell survival rate changes induced by cisplatin (DDP) and chloroquine (CQ) in CAL-27 cells were assayed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium method(MTT). The LC3-Ⅱ expression level was detected by laser scanning confocal microscope; The apoptotic rate was determined by flow cytometry. SPSS17.0 software package was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: MTT results showed that compared with the control group, the cell survival rate reduced with the increasing time of DDP and CQ treatment; The optimal concentration of CAL-27 cells was 5 mg/L after treatment with CQ. IC50 of the CAL-27 cells was 5 mg/L after treatment with DDP; MTT results showed that the cell survival rate of CQ+DDP group was significantly lower than control group, CQ group and DDP group (P<0.05). With the action of CQ and DDP to CAL-27 cells for 48 hours, immunofluorescence results showed that the average fluorescence intensity of DDP group was significantly higher than the other 3 groups (P<0.05), while it was significantly lower in CQ group than the other 3 groups (P<0.05). With the action of CQ and DDP to CAL-27 cells for 48 hours, flow cytometry results showed that the cell apoptosis rate of DDP group and CQ+DDP group were significantly higher than control group and CQ group. The cell apoptosis rate of CQ+DDP group was significantly higher than DDP group (P<0.05). With the action of CQ and DDP to CAL-27 cells for 48 hours, cells in G1 phase of DDP group and CQ+DDP group increased, indicating G1 phase blockage. The cell count in G1 phase of CQ+DDP group was significantly higher than DDP group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Inhibition of autophagy can enhance the chemotherapeutic sensitivity of DDP in CAL-27 cells. Autophagy in CAL-27 cells is an important mechanism for chemotherapy resistance of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Autophagy inhibitor may have significant potential to be a novel chemotherapeutic sensitizer for oral squamous cell carcinoma.

METHODS: Fifty extracted maxillary second molars were scanned by CBCT and analyzed using assistant software. Root canal configurations of each root were identified based on Vertucci's classification and recorded. All transparent teeth samples were made with modified root canal staining technique, and the root canal configurations of each root were classified based on Vertucci's classification. The results were analyzed statistically with SPSS17.0 software package. RESULTS: According to transparent tooth technique, typeⅠ was the most common configuration in distobuccal root and palatal root. An additional configuration type 3-2-2 was found in the present study, which was not included in Vertucci’s classification. The wide variety of canal systems was seen in the mesiobuccal root. TypeⅠconfiguration was most prevalent(54.4%), followed by TypeⅡ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ, Ⅵ. The prevalence of second canal in mesiobuccal root (MB2) was 41.3%. The results of canal morphology and configuration were consistent between transparent tooth technique and CBCT. CONCLUSIONS: Maxillary second molars have the most complex root and canal morphology, especially for the mesiobuccal root. For identifying root canal and root anatomy, CBCT can be used as an alternative to transparent tooth technique in clinical practice. The application of 3D reconstruction based on CBCT helps us to visualize the root canal anatomy.

METHODS: The first passage of maxillary primordium mesenchymal cells (MPMCs) from E12.5 embryos were cultured in the osteogenic medium, and 10 nM SB203580 (an inhibitor of phosphorylation of p38) was added in the medium in the experimental group for 1 week. Then immunofluorescence staining was applied to detect the phosphorylation of p38 in MPMCs. Brdu label and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect the proliferation of MPMCs. ALP staining and qPCR were used to detect the mRNA expression of ALP, Runx2, OCN and OPN in MPMCs. ALP staining and PCR were used to evaluate the osteogenic capability of MPMCs. SPSS 18.0 software package was used to analyze the data. RESULTS: Osteogenic induction could promote phosphorylation of p38, inhibit phosphorylation of p38 and proliferation of MPMCs, down-regulate the expression of ALP, Runx2, OCN and OPN, thus weaken the ALP staining in MPMCs. CONCLUSIONS: p38 signal pathway regulates osteogenic differentiation of MPMCs in vitro.

METHODS: Forty-five pre- and post-stimulation saliva samples were tested for occult blood, with bleeding on probing (BOP) as an indicator of gingival inflammation. Subjects with BOP%<15% were defined as control group. The examinations were repeated 3 months after periodontal initial therapy. The relationship between the results of SOBT and gingival inflammation was analyzed. SAS6.12 software package was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The SOBT of pre-stimulation was higher in gingivitis group than in control group (P<0.05). BOP% and SOBT of post-therapy was significantly decreased (P<0.01), with 90% of pre- and 63% of post-stimulation SOBT turning negative. The sensitivity and specificity of pre- stimulation SOBT in screening gingivitis were 32.35% and 100%. The sensitivity and specificity of the post-stimulation SOBT were 88.24% and 81.82%. CONCLUSIONS: SOBT is correlated with gingival inflammation, which may be used as an objective parameter to evaluate gingival inflammation and the efficacy of periodontal therapy at individual level. It may offer a simple screening method for gingival inflammation applied in periodontal epidemiologic studies in large population.

METHODS: Patients treated in the Department of Endodontics in West China Hospital of Stomatology were randomly collected. The baseline information, primary sites and severity of dental caries on the mandibular second molar, and eruption pattern of the mandibular third molar were recorded. The data was analyzed with SPSS13.0 software package. RESULTS: Four hundred eighty-one patients including 227 males and 254 females were collected. Caries on the mandibular second molar starting from the occlusal, distal proximal and buccal surfaces accounted for 33.8%, 33.2% and 24.4%, respectively. Caries involving dental pulp (49.7%) were significantly more than deep and shallow to moderate caries (31.7% and 18.6%). Gender was not correlated with the site and severity of caries. However, impacted mandibular third molars and age were significantly related to both caries site and severity. CONCLUSIONS: Occlusal and distal proximal surfaces are the most predisposed sites to have caries on mandibular second molar. Impacted mandibular third molar and age are significantly related to caries of mandibular second molar.

METHODS: A total of 68 TMD patients were divided into 2 groups (30 patients with acute pain and 38 patients with chronic pain) and treated with relaxed splint or stabilized splint. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores and electromyography (EMG) of bilateral anterior temporal muscle (TA) and masseter muscle (MM) were recorded before treatment and 1 month after treatment. The data was analyzed using variance analysis and student’s t test with SPSS11.0 software package. RESULTS: At rest position, patients’ EMG decreased remarkably (P<0.05) after both kinds of splints treatment. During maximal voluntary clench, the EMG of masticatory muscle (TA, MM) of patients with acute pain and EMG of MM of patients with chronic pain increased significantly after relaxed splint treatment (P<0.05), but only EMG of MM increased significantly after stabilization splint treatment (P<0.05). Patients’ VAS scores decreased remarkably after both kinds of splints treatment (P<0.05), but during function, patients’ acute pain eased remarkably after relaxed splint treatment (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The relaxed splint and stabilized splint can relax the masticatory muscles and ease TMD pain, but relaxed splint has significant effect on the treatment of acute TMD patients.

Cephalometric analysis was used to analyze hard and soft-tissues change before and after treatment, with the aim to investigate the effects of treatment on adult bimaxillary arch protrusion with micro-implant anchorage. METHODS: Fifteen adult patients with mild and moderate bimaxillary arch protrusion were selected in this study. Micro-implants were inserted into the zygomaticoalveolar ridge of maxilla and the external oblique line of mandible. A NiTi coil spring was attached to the micro-implant to drag the whole upper and lower dentition for distal movement. Cephalometrics were taken before and after treatment, and the changes of soft and hard-tissue profile were studied. SPSS13.0 software package was used to analyze the data. RESULTS: ①Sixty micro-implants remained stable.②SNA, SNB had no significant changes (P>0.05), and the relationship between the maxilla and the mandible did not change significantly. U1/NA, U1-NA, L1/NB, L1-NB and U1/L1 changes in hard tissue had significant difference in cephalometric measurement (P<0.05). The upper and lower anterior teeth were more retrusive, and the tipping of incisor decreased significantly.③Cephalometric analysis showed that lateral appearance improved and soft tissue cephalometric-related measurements such as Cm-Sn-UL,LL-B’-Pos increased significantly (P<0.01). ④Molars and incisors acquired distal movement. CONCLUSIONS: Micro-implant can provide not only excellent skeletal anchorage but also a novel way to distalize the whole dentition efficiently.
