Occupational allergic contact dermatitis and composition of acrylates in dentin bonding systems

Background Dentin-bonding systems contain sensitizing acrylates. They are increasingly used in dentistry, but only few cases of allergy have been encountered. Objective This study reports observations on eleven patients sensitized by acrylates in dentin-bonding compounds. Furthermore, the composition of dentin-bonding products was analysed and compared with the information given in the material safety data sheets. Methods Patch testing was performed to reveal allergic contact dermatitis, and chamber provocation tests to reveal possible respiratory sensitivity. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to analyse the chemical composition of the bonding products. Results The most common sensitizer in our material of eleven patients was 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA). Another putative sensitizer, BIS-GMA, used in dentin adhesives, did not cause sensitization. The typical allergic dermatitis localized to the fingertips (pulpitis). Seven of the eleven patients also developed paresthesia of the fingertips. One patient with positive patch test reactions to (meth)acrylates had pharyngitis hut no skin symptoms. One patient was sensitized because she had been patch tested with too high a concentration (undiluted) of dentin-bonding components. Material safety sheets gave inaccurate or wrong information about the contents. Conclusion Dentin-bonding acrylates are strong sensitizers, and even a single exposure may sensitize.     

壳聚糖作为中枢神经系统支架材料的可行性研究

目的探索壳聚糖作为中枢神经系统组织工程支架材料的可行性。方法选择孕14～16dWistar大鼠剖宫取胎鼠脑进行分离、培养,经巢蛋白、胶原纤维酸性蛋白、特异性烯醇化酶和半乳糖脑苷酯免疫细胞化学染色鉴定获得神经干细胞,种植于壳聚糖膜和明胶膜表面培养,然后行巢蛋白免疫细胞化学染色,观察神经干细胞在壳聚糖膜和明胶膜表面的贴附、生长和分化状态,以及壳聚糖、明胶的降解速度。结果从胎鼠大脑分离获得的神经干细胞,巢蛋白染色呈阳性反应,可分化形成神经元和胶质细胞,分化细胞分别呈胶原纤维酸性蛋白、特异性烯醇化酶和半乳糖脑苷酯染色阳性反应。神经干细胞接种后12h即贴附于壳聚糖膜表面,24h壳聚糖膜和明胶膜均贴附牢固;48h明胶膜表面神经球周围首先出现带突起的分化细胞,壳聚糖膜迟至生长第3天才出现。神经干细胞接种生长后第3天,壳聚糖膜部分降解,明胶膜完全降解;第4天膜表面长满分化细胞;第5、6天壳聚糖膜大部分降解,分化细胞部分死亡。结论壳聚糖与神经干细胞生物相容,具有促细胞贴附和分化作用,由于机械性能差,不宜作为中枢神经组织工程的结构性生物支架材料,但可以单独或者联合促贴附物明胶作为促神经干细胞贴附和分化的支架表面修饰剂。     

衍生肌腱支架材料的细胞相容性研究

目的 探讨衍生肌腱支架材料（tendon derivation biomaterials，TDBM）与肌腱细胞的细胞相容性及肌腱细胞在此三维支架上培养的生物学行为，为肌腱组织工程新型支架材料的应用提供依据。方法将肌腱细胞与TDBM体外复合培养，设置单纯肌腱细胞培养为对照组，进行形态学观察，并检测细胞增殖、细胞周期、细胞DNA倍体水平及肌腱细胞凋亡率。通过^3H-脯氨酸（^3H-Proline）掺入试验了解材料对肌腱细胞胶原合成的影响。结果 肌腱细胞在TDBM上呈梭形生长，TDBM组细胞第2天进入对数增长期，倍增时间为3d，而单纯肌腱细胞培养对照组倍增时间为3．75d。TDBM组与单纯肌腱细胞培养对照组比较，^3H-Proline掺入值差异无统计学意义（P〉0．05），说明细胞功能未受影响。与支架材料复合培养的肌腱细胞DNA指数为0．96，增殖指数较对照组高10．1％，提示肌腱细胞在三维胶原支架上生长速度快，增殖能力强。结论TDBM具有良好的细胞相容性，可作为肌腱细胞的有效载体应用于组织工程化肌腱的构建。

Safety evaluation of surgical materials by cytotoxicity testing

The cytotoxicity of three kinds of commercially available absorbable hemostats [oxidized cellulose (Surgicel, gauze and cotton types), microfibrillar collagen (Avitene), and cotton-type collagen (Integran)] and one adhesion barrier [sodium hyaluronate and carboxymethyl-cellulose membrane (Seprafilm)] were comparatively assessed by a colony assay using V79 cells and a minimum essential medium (MEM) elution assay in combination with a neutral red assay using L929 cells. Strong cytotoxicity was detected for Surgicel by both the MEM elution assay and the colony assay. For Avitene, both methods revealed weak cytotoxicity. For Seprafilm, no cytotoxicity was detected by the MEM elution assay, while a moderate degree of cytotoxicity was observed in the colony assay. For Integran cytotoxicity was not detected by either the MEM elution or the colony assay. The results of the different methods showed some inconsistency in terms of the degree of cytotoxicity of the materials. It is proposed that the combination of two or more sensitive cytotoxicity testing methods for the evaluation of biomaterials is necessary to avoid false-negative results for biomaterials at the preclinical stage. Furthermore, investigation of the correlation between the cytotoxicity and the extraction period of the surgical materials is helpful for predicting the effect of prolonged in vivo use of biomaterials on surrounding cells, tissues, and organs.

口腔门诊治疗并发晕厥106例回顾分析

目的：通过对1983年以来，孝感市中心医院口腔中心门诊治疗并发晕厥106例的回顾性分析，探讨口腔门诊治疗并发单纯性晕厥的原因及一些相关因素，增强医患双方的防治意识，安全顺利的进行口腔门诊治疗。方法：对106例单纯性晕厥反应，采取现场询问式调查的方法，对其一般情况，口腔门诊治疗经历，治疗时的心态，口腔门诊治疗的了解，以及不同口腔治疗晕厥发生情况等进行调查、归纳、分析。结果：1)晕厥的发生与患者的年龄有关，12～40岁口腔门诊治疗经历欠缺的患者是口腔门诊治疗并发晕厥的高危人群。2)口腔患者进行治疗前心理准备充足与否对并发晕厥反应的影响较大。3)晕厥在口腔门诊某些治疗中发生率较高，拔牙术最多，其次为脓肿切排。86％(92例)属因畏惧疼痛导致紧张而诱发的血管抑制性晕厥。4)晕厥多发生于治疗初期(93：13)。结论：口腔门诊治疗并发晕厥临床表现多不严重，但对患者就诊和医师的治疗影响明显，切实做好口腔治疗错误信息，消除和减轻他们的疑虑和畏惧的紧张心情，对保障口腔门诊治疗安全尤为重要。
