The role of soft tissue transplantation in the reconstruction of gingival papilla / 中华口腔医学杂志

Black triangle caused by gingival papilla loss is an ordinary clinical problem. Gingival recession and alveolar bone absorption in the area of gingival papilla lead to the increase of the vertical distance from the adjacent contact point to the alveolar ridge. Periodontal soft tissue grafts play a certain role in the gingival papilla reconstruction. This paper reviewed the effects of soft tissue grafts on the reconstruction of gingival papilla loss through following several aspects, summary of gingival papilla loss, gum soft tissue reconstruction, biological and chemical factors influencing gingival papilla reconstruction. The role of coronally advanced flap surgery, semilunar coronal repositioned flap surgery, subepithelial connective tissue graft, pedicle flap graft, envelop flap graft and tunnel technique were evaluated.

The relationship between inflammatory factor expression and cell apoptosis in gingival tissue of the subjects with diabetes associated periodontitis / 实用口腔医学杂志

Objective:To study the relationship between IL-1β and TNFα expression and cell apoptosis in gingival tissue of the subjects with diabetes associated periodontitis(DAP).Methods:20 cases of DAP(group DAP) and 20 cases of health controls(group H)were included.The cell apoptosis and the ultrastructural changes in gingival tissue were observed by Tunnel staining and transmission electron microscope (TEM).IL-1β and TNFα expression in gingival tissue were detected by immunohistochemical staining.SBI,GI,PD and AL of the subjects were measured.The relationship between the level of IL-1β,TNFα and the cell appotosis was analyzed.Results:Apoptosis was obvious in prickle cells and basal cells of gingival tissue of DAP group.The percentage of apoptosis cells of DAP group was significantly higher than that of group H(P＜0.01).The expression of IL-1β and TNFα in group DAP was significant higher than that of group H (P＜0.01),and the mainly positive expression cells were macrophages,plasmocytes and lymphocytes.Conclusion:IL-1β and TNFα play a role in cell apoptosis in the gingival tissue of the patients with DAP.

Size effects on metal-insulator phase transition in individual vanadium dioxide nanowires.

We report the size effects on the metal-insulator phase transition of vanadium dioxide (VO2) nanowires prepared by chemical vapor deposition. The phase transition temperature can be tuned from 67 °C in the bulk VO2 to as low as 29°C by reducing the diameter of VO2 nanowires to nanoscale. Temperature-dependent Raman spectra display a clear dynamic picture on the metal-insulator phase transition process of the VO2 nanowires. Whilst, Raman study shows no remarkable strain effect on the phase transition behaviors of our samples. The increasing surface defect density with reducing nanowire size facilitates the decreasing phase transition temperature. In addition, the polarized-photocurrent effect was observed, resulting from the anisotropy of the photoresponse and also caused by the reduced dimensionality.Our results indicate that size of VO2 nanostructures can dominate their thermoelectric and photoelectrical properties.

Study of perioral force exerted on the teeth in preadolescent children with anterior crossbite / 生物医学工程学杂志

30 preadolescent children with anterior crossbite were selected for the present study. Among them 15 were male and 15 children were female. Their age ranged from 8 to 12 years. The mean age was 10. 8 years. Their perioral forces were measured in the areas as following: the labial and lingual sides of mandibular and maxillar central incisors, the first premolars and molars of both sides. After analysis of the results, some conclusions were drawn as the following, the distribution of the perioral force of bilateral arch was symmetric, and there were no significant differences between genders. The values of the perioral force in the premolar and molar area were the largest. When the children were in their nature head position, the perioral force values of labial side were larger than those on the lingual side. On the lingual side of mandibular incisors negative values were found. The perioral force correlated with malocclusion. The position of the teeth decides the value of the perioral force. It has been well concluded that the forces exerted on the teeth were not the only factor that influenced teeth position. There are also other factors influencing the teeth poison. This needs further study.

Identification of the Peptides that Bind to PTA1 mAb(LeoA1) by Phage Displayed Library / 细胞与分子免疫学杂志

Aim To screen peptides binding specifically to anti-human PTA1mAbs from a random twelve-peptide phage-disp-layed library. Methods Series of PTA1mAbs(LeoA1、 1B11、 C9、 2D1、 2E9、 2G8、 2H2 and E8)were purified using protein-A affinity column. PTA1mAbs which could bind PTA1-Fc fusion protein binding to its ligand were confirmed by flow cytometry, and then used as target to screen phage library. After three rounds of affinity screening, the peptide sequences of positive phage clones were determined and analyzed. Results LeoA1 could block PTA1-Fc fusion protein binding to its ligand. 13 phages which could bind specifically to LeoA1 were isolated from phage library and further confirmed by ELISA. Conserved motifs were found among the sequences of the peptides. Conclusion It was shown that the conserved motifs were candidafe regions binding to PTA1 ligand,which is important to identify functional epitopes for seeking ligand of PTA1 and further investigation of biological function of PTA1.
