<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the the feasibility and effectiveness of narrowing and sliding genioplasty combined with mandibular outer cortex ostectomy technique to reshape a square jaw in short face.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From July 2005 to October 2009, a total of 57 patients received narrowing and sliding genioplasty combined with mandibular outer cortex ostectomy procedure to correct square jaw in short face. All the patients had standard frontal and lateral cephalometric radiographs, panoramic radiographs, and were photographed preoperatively and postoperatively to assess their face contour. The alteration of mandibular angle, mental contour and width of lower face was observed for 6 to 24 months postoperatively. Questionnaires were used to assess the patients' satisfactory.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>It showed that the postoperative lower face had narrowed and become softer, slender and oval, with a slick mental region. The final aesthetic outcomes were quite satisfactory in all cases from both the view of surgeons and patients.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Narrowing and sliding genioplasty combined with mandibular outer cortex ostectomy procedure could efficiently adjust the shape and position of chin to obtain a good proportion of the lower face, and to change square and short face to slender oval one by single operation in accordance with the fashionable aesthetics in orientals.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the applicability and effectiveness of reconstruction of mandibular condyle by transport distraction osteogenesis in an animal model of rhesus monkeys.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Six adult rhesus monkeys were used in this study. Bilateral condyles and articular discs were extirpated, and the technique of transport distraction osteogenesis was performed to reconstruct the condyle. X-ray and CT scanning films were taken at various intervals. Two monkeys selected at random were sacrificed respectively at 4, 12 and 24 weeks after completion of distraction, and the newly formed condyles resulted from bony transport disc were harvested and processed for histologic examination. The removed condyles at surgery were used as normal control and prepared in the same manner.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Open bite was seen in all animals postoperatively, and disappeared at the end of distraction. The shape and appearance of the bony transport disc was similar to original condyles at sacrifice. The articular cavity was filled with fibrous connective tissue and considerable cartilage cells were observed in the surface of the condyle stump. Bone regeneration was perfect in the distraction gap.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>A neocondyle with functional shape can be created by transport distraction osteogenesis, which suggested that this technique might be an alternative method in reconstruction of the condyle.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effect of hyperthermia on expressions of multidrug resistance (MDR) genes in tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line Tca8113 and its MDR cell line Tca8113/CBDEA and intracellular ADM concentration.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Cell lines were hyperthermia-treated (42 degrees C for 0.5 h), 4 h and 24 h later real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detected expressions of MDR relative genes (MDR1, MRPI, GST-pi) and HTS 7000 Plus Bio Assay Reader measured intracellular ADM concentration.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Expressions of MDR1, MRPI, GST-'pi genes in Tca8113/CBDEA significantly descended at 4 h and 24 h post-hyperthermia (P < 0.01). Expressions of MDR1, MRP1 genes in Tca8113 significantly descended at 4 h and 24 h post-hyperthermia (P < 0.05), but there was not statistical difference between 4 h and 24 h post-hyperthermia. GST-pi expression had not statistical descent at 4 h, but there was significantly descend at 24 h post-hyperthermia (P < 0.01). Drug tolerance decreased and hyperthermia increased intracellular drug concentration in Tca8113/CBDEA and Tca8113 (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Hyperthermia enhance chemotherapy effect and reverse MDR genes expression in tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line. It is suggested that hyperthermia could be used as a method to overcome MDR, which is worth more investigation.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effect of angiogenesis inhibitor and its combine with chemical drug in suppressing the growth of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Acc-M cells were inoculated subcutaneous into BABL/C nu/nu mice. The mice were divided into control, different dose of TNP-470 treatment groups, 5-Fu treatment group and TNP-470 plus 5-Fu treatment group. Treatments were given 48 hours after inoculation. The mice were sacrificed on the 22nd day and excised tumors were weighted. Tumors were also investigated by immunohistochemistry and ultrastructural observations.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>TNP-470 100 mg/kg/qod efficiently inhibited the growth of Acc-M tumors. TNP-470 30 mg/kg/qod combined with 50 mg/kg/week 5-Fu also resulted in significant growth inhibit of the tumors. TNP-470 suppressed tumor growth by inhibiting neovascularization, therefore inducing apoptosis of Acc-M cells. All experimental groups had different degrees of VEGF and bFGF express.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Since ACC is a slow developing tumor, blood supply is not so sufficient as sarcomas. Angiogensis inhibitor may inhibit its growth in high dosage. Combining medium dosage of angiogensis inhibitor with chemical drug may have synergistic result in inhibiting ACC growth.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effects of rhBMP-2 on bone formation of mandibular distraction osteogenesis in rabbits.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Bilateral mandibular osteotomies were performed in 12 mature rabbits. 5 mg rhBMP-2 with the collagen carrier was implanted in the osteotomy site of one side of the mandibles. Only the collagen sponge was placed in the contra-lateral side as control. The mandibles of 8 rabbits were lengthened by 6mm using a custom-made distractor. At 4 weeks after the end of distraction, all animals were killed and the distracted calluses were harvested and processed for histological, scanning electron microscopic, as well as Ca/P ratio analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The regenerated bone was found in the distraction gap after mandibular lengthening. The mandibular side treated with rhBMP-2 had greater amounts of new bone formation and earlier mineralization than contra-lateral side (non-rhBMP-2 treated).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Recombinant human BMP-2 appears to be able to accelerate bone formation of mandibular distraction osteogenesis in rabbits.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effects of repeated injections of L-NMMA on a goat model with osteoarthrotic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disease.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Eight goats were selected in this study. Bilateral TMJ osteoarthrosis (OA) was induced by injecting 0.5% collagenase. L-NMMA was injected into one side of TMJs at 4 weeks after collagenase injection (one time every three days). Another joint as control was simultaneously injected using 0.9% saline solution. All goats were killed at 12 weeks after collagenase injection. The TMJ specimens were harvested and processed for histological examination. Modified Mankin's grading score system was used for evaluating changes in the TMJ.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The control side of TMJs showed severe osteoarhrotic changes in the condyle whereas the L-NMMA-treated TMJs showed less degenerative alterations. The histologic score was 3.83 in the L-NMMA treated side, and 6.33 in the control. There was a significant difference in osteoarthrotic changes between the L-NMMA-treated and control TMJs (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Repeated intra-articular injection of L-NMMA into TMJ may play a role in inhibiting TMJOA progression.</p>
