Two-stage treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion during the early permanent dentition.

A patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion was treated in 2 phases during the early permanent dentition. In phase 1, maxillary protraction was combined with rapid palatal expansion; in phase 2, fixed appliances were placed. The results were good posttreatment, and, 1 year later, a favorable growth tendency could be observed. This report shows that treatment for a patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion can be started in the early permanent dentition, with very good final results.     

Nerve growth factor and tyrosine kinase A in human salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma: expression patterns and effects on in vitro invasive behavior.

PURPOSE: Perineural invasion is a frequent occurrence in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and may prevent complete surgical resection. Studies have indicated that nerve growth factor (NGF) and its high-affinity receptor tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) may play a role in perineural invasion in several malignancies in which perineural invasion is observed. The present study was conducted to investigate the expression of NGF and TrkA in salivary ACC and to examine the effects of NGF on adhesion, migration and invasion capacities of a salivary ACC cell line (SACC-83) in vitro. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Expression of NGF and TrkA was explored using immunohistochemistry in paraffin-embedded tissues of 32 cases of salivary ACC. The effects of NGF on in vitro adhesion, migration, and invasion capacities of the SACC-83 cell line were examined using an MTT assay and a modified Boyden chamber assay respectively. RESULTS: In ACC specimens, 31 (96.9%) and 32 (100%) tumors showed immunoreactivity for NGF and TrkA respectively. Significant correlations were found between NGF/TrkA expression levels and perineural invasion (P < .05). In cell adhesion assay, the percent adherences of SACC-83 cells co-cultured with 25 ng/ml NGF at 1.5 hours and 5, 25 ng/ml NGF at 6 hours were significantly higher than that co-cultured with 0 ng/ml NGF (P < .05). However, high concentration of NGF (500 ng/ml) resulted in a significant inhibition of invasion (P < .05). CONCLUSION: Overexpression of NGF and TrkA in human salivary ACC tissues may constitute a reason for perineural invasion in salivary ACC.     

金地鼠颊囊癌前病变的细胞增殖动力学研究

目的研究口腔上皮组织癌和癌前病变的细胞动力学变化特征。方法采用Ｓａｌｅｙ的ＤＭＢＡ涂布诱导法，建立金地鼠颊囊癌前病变模型，并用溴脱氧尿苷流式细胞动力学检测方法，对３０只叙利亚种金地鼠进行分组对照研究。结果涂药组光镜下的细胞病变程度随涂药时间延长而逐渐加重，而空白对照组无变化；ＦＣＭ检测显示涂药组与对照组在Ｓ期阳性细胞检出率存在显著差异。即使在光镜下表现为轻度不典型增生时，ＦＣＭ检测结果也有显著差别。结论金地鼠颊囊癌前病变具有细胞异常增殖的细胞动力学特征     

一次手术法对自制两段式种植体种植效果的实验研究

本实验用自制纯钛两段式种植体,以一次手术法植入到狗的下颌前磨牙区,观察5个月,结果表明,观察期间内牙龈无炎症,种植体稳固,X线片显示种植体周围无透射区,镜下可见种植体表面与牙龈之间形成上皮附着样结构,与骨组织之间大多呈骨性愈合。提示了两段式种植体有两种设计和手术方式可供选择。骨内部分在开放的环境中也可达到骨性愈合。     

继发性唇裂鼻畸形硅胶植入整复术

本文介绍一种使继发性唇裂鼻畸形获得较好外形的新手术方法。术式包括切除偏曲的鼻中隔软骨,并将一片硅胶植入于中央作为鼻小柱支柱,从而矫正歪斜的鼻小柱和抬高鼻尖,使两侧鼻孔形态对称一致,用本法为11例单侧唇裂畸形较重者进行了整复,随访4个月至4年半。绝大多数(10/11)取得满意效果,未见有严重感染和变形等并发症。     

口腔黏膜下纤维性变S100蛋白表达

目的 :研究口腔黏膜下纤维性变中S10 0蛋白的表达水平及其与正常口腔黏膜上皮、异常增生上皮的比较。方法 :应用免疫组织化学 (SP)法 ,检测 10例口腔黏膜下纤维性变、10例上皮异常增生、8例正常口腔黏膜上皮S10 0蛋白表达水平 ,并作对比研究。结果 :S10 0蛋白在正常口腔黏膜上皮中无表达 ,口腔黏膜下纤维性变上皮中和异常增生上皮中S10 0的阳性表达率为 5 0 %,后两者的阳性表达率明显高于正常黏膜组上皮 (P <0 .0 5 ) ;口腔黏膜下纤维性变组与异常增生上皮组比较 ,差异无显著性 (P >0 .0 5 )。结论 :口腔黏膜下纤维性变发生发展与S10 0蛋白过表达密切相关 ,S10 0蛋白表达强度与异常增生上皮表达强度一致。
