RESUMO
In view of the surgical complexity of parapharyngeal space tumors involved, this paper summarized the disease data of patients with parapharyngeal space tumors involved in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2015 to January 2021. It also summarized the surgical approach and mandibular management, so as to explore surgical strategies for different characteristics of parapharyngeal space tumors involved. A total of 49 patients, including 28 males and 21 females, median age 52 years (range 24-72 years). They were treated with four surgical approaches for tumor resection, 25 cervical approach, 5 cheek and neck approach, 3 transoral approach, and 16 cervical-maxillary approach. Among the patients treated with cervical-maxillary approach, 3 patients were treated with mandible square resection, and 6 patients were treated with temporary mandible dissection. Seven cases were treated with tumor resection and partial mandibular resection. There are various surgical approaches and mandibular management methods involving tumors in the parapharyngeal space, and clinical decisions should be made based on tumor diameter, location, boundary, blood supply and pathological types.

The depth of invasion is a new index in the 8th edition of TNM classification and staging of oral cancer. Currently, there is no standardized evaluation method for the diagnosis of bone invasion and depth of invasion in lower gingival squamous cell carcinoma (LGSCC). The evaluation of LGSCC bone invasion depth not only provides a reference for surgical margin, but also determines the choice of surgical method, and is an independent prognostic factor for predicting cervical lymphatic metastasis. At present, the main evaluation methods of LGSCC bone invasion and invasion depth include X-ray, MRI, CT, positron emission tomography(PET)/CT, PET/MRI, singlephoton emission CT(SPECT)/CT and pathological examination. In this paper, the evaluation methods and effects of LGSCC bone invasion and invasion depth are summarized, and its advantages and disadvantages are analyzed in order to provide reference for clinical application.
RESUMO
Objetive: To investigate whether the methylation patterns of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) gene promoter changed and whether environmental factors affected the methylation level of IL-4 gene in the peripheral blood of patients with recurrent aphthous ulcer (RAU). Methods: Totally 20 patients, who were diagnosed with RAU, were recruited from May 2018 to May 2019 in the Department of Stomatologyï¼ First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University in the study (RAU group), including 12 females and 8 males, with mean age of 16-35 years. During the same period, 20 healthy volunteers matching the age and gender of the RAU group were selected from the medical personnel of the same hospital as the healty control group, including 11 females and 9 males, with mean age of 15-35 years. Peripheral blood samples of two groups were collected and the methylation levels of the IL-4 promoter were detected by bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP). The IL-4 promoter methylation level of each sample was analyzed by direct sequencing and the IL-4 mRNA level was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The data obtained were statistically analyzed. Results: The IL-4 gene promoter fragment contained 10 CPG sites from -1400 to -1625 bp. The methylation rates of CPG(-1556), CPG(-1483), CPG(-1479)and 10 CPG sites were significantly higher in RAU group ï¼»(32.0±19.9)%, (53.0±13.4)%, (46.0±19.8)% and (39.3±12.4)%ï¼½ than in healthy control group ï¼»(20.0±3.2)%, (35.5±12.3)%, (28.0±14.4)% and (32.6±5.8)%ï¼½, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The relative expression of IL-4 mRNA in the peripheral blood of RAU patients (1.0±0.1) was significantly lower than that of the healthy control group (1.5±0.2) (P<0.01). There was a significant negative correlation between the overall methylation rate of IL-4 gene promoter and the relative expression level of IL-4 mRNA in RAU group (r=-0.494, P<0.05). In the multivariate analysis, smoking, vitamin B12 and folic acid in the RAU group were significantly correlated with the overall methylation rate of the IL-4 gene promoter (P<0.01). Conclusions: The hypermethylation of IL-4 promoter in RAU patients may be related to the reduction of IL-4 gene transcription. Vitamin B12, folic acid and smoking may affect IL-4 gene methylation in peripheral blood of RAU patients.

Depth of invasion is a newly added index for TNM staging of oral cancer in the eighth edition. Preoperative evaluation of depth of invasion not only provides a reference for surgical margin, but also serves as an independent prognostic factor for predicting lymph node metastases. At present, the main methods for assessing the depth of invasion of tongue squamous cell carcinoma include ultrasound examination, MRI, CT, positron emission tomography (PET) and histopathological examination. This paper summarizes the evaluation method and clinical effect of depth of invasion of tongue cancer, and analyzes its advantages and boundedness. In addition, this study is expected to provide a reference for the surgical treatment of tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

Clinical effectiveness of frozen homogenic brephobone as a filling material in the treatment in the treatment of chronic periapical periodontitis was evaluated.42 patents with chronic periapical periodontitis,periapical,cyst and periapical granuloma were observed.After apical curettage was performed,22 cases were filled with frozen homogenic brephobone and other cases were close bone cavity with traditional treatment.All these cases were then covered with periodontal packing agent.Radiograph and clinical observation were made respectively at 2 week,1 month,3 month,6 month and 12 month recall visit following the surgery.It was found that the way of filling with frozen homogenic brephobone is more advantageous than the traditional way.
RESUMO
The foreign Bt gene was transferred into protoplasts of soybean using PEG and PLO methods, respectively. The result indicated that the transformation frequency of PLO method was about 0.1% higher than PEG method. The PCR and Southern blotting analysis of the regeneration plants confirmed the integration of foreign gene into the genome of soybean.

OBJECTIVE:Following ablation of oromandibular malignant neoplasms,3 patients underwent immediate mandibular reconstruction using "chain flap".It was composed of iliac crest composite free flap(ICCFF). seven flaps of 3 cases survived completely,follow-up ranged and donor sites were generally satisfactry.Consecutive X-ray films showed that the grafting bone produed a more rapid processes of incorporation and bone remodling,and experienced minimal bony resorption.The results suggested that FFF could remedy defects of soft-tissue compoment of ICCFF.It was an useful method that mandibular reconstructin of large composite defects using "chain flaps" of ICCFF and FFF.
