Modulation of osteogenic potential by recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2 in human periodontal ligament cells: effect of serum, culture medium, and osteoinductive medium

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Bone morphogenic proteins are known, in animal models, to promote many developmental processes, including osteogenesis. Clinical trials are currently underway to evaluate the potential of bone morphogenic proteins to promote bone and periodontal regeneration in humans. The aim of this study was to establish an optimal cell culture condition for using to study the biological effects of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2 on periodontal ligament cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The roles of serum concentration, types of culture medium (alpha-modified essential medium or Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium), the presence of osteoinductive medium (including dexamethasone, ascorbic acid and beta-glycerophosphate), and timing of addition of the osteoinductive medium and recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2, on the expression of alkaline phosphatase were investigated in cultured periodontal ligament cells. Cytochemical stainings and biological assay of alkaline phosphatase were also demonstrated. RESULTS: Our results suggested that an increased concentration of serum might mask the effect of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2 on the expression of alkaline phosphatase in periodontal ligament cells. alpha-Modified essential medium was found to induce a stronger cytochemical staining of the alkaline phosphatase than Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium under similar culture conditions. Pre-incubation of cells with osteoinductive medium before the addition of various concentrations of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2 enhanced greater alkaline phosphatase expression than the simultaneous presence of both osteoinductive medium and recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest that the effect of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2 on periodontal ligament cells could be efficiently investigated after the proper selection of culture variables and temporal sequence of adding bioactive factors. The optimal culture condition identified in this study might be useful in further studies to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of periodontal ligament cells in periodontal regeneration after stimulation with recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2.     

1354 freshmen's dental investigation]

1354 freshmen have been investigated to discover the relationship between dental diseases and environments,living habits and personal sanitary conditions,because urban young men like sweet foods and snacks,the incidence of caries is greater in the cities than in the country,more people with tetracycline discolored tooth live in urban areas than in the rustic ones,which is due to dense living conditions, vulnerable to respiratory organs disease,medical conditions and convenience of taking tetracycline when ill;on the other hand,gingivitis is more common within the country students than within the city students,for those students from the country are used to brush their tooth after adolescence and usually have more dental calculus which is harmful to the gingiva.More than half of the investigated freshmen are ignorant of correct method of brushing and oral health and that is important factors of high rate of dental disease,according to the above reasons,the effective measures should educated to prevent dental disease.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the synergistic effects of rapamycin and cisplatin on head and neck squamous cancer cells regulated by chemokine( C-C motif) ligand 19 (CCL19). Methods The role of rapamycin and cisplatin was detected on cell-cycle and apoptosis in CCL19 induced PCI-4B and PCI-37B cells by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) and flow cytometry(FCM). Dose-effect relationship parameters and combination index(CI) were calculated on the median-effect equation and multiple drug effect equation using computer software CalcuSyn. Statistical analysis was performed by the unpaired student's t-test.Results Rapamycin and cisplatin could respectively increase the growth arrest, the proportion of G1 phase and apoptosis of CCL19 induced cancer cells (P ＜0. 05 ). Under inhibitory concentration 50% (IC50), CI was less than 1, and in IC75, it was more than 1 in PCI-4B cells. In PCI-37B cells, under IC75, CI was less than 1, and in IC90, it was more than 1. Conclusions Rapamycin and cisplatin can inhibit CCL19-regulated PCI-4B and PCI-37B cells' survival. The two drugs have synergistic effects when used in combination.

Histological evaluation of direct pulp capping with a self-etching adhesive and calcium hydroxide on human pulp tissue

Aim  To evaluate human pulp tissue response following direct pulp capping with a self-etching adhesive: Clearfil SE BOND (SB).
Methodology  Forty-five sound teeth from 20 subjects were used. Forty-one teeth had their pulp mechanically exposed at the base of a Class 1 cavity preparation and were divided into two groups: group 1, teeth were capped with SB ( n  = 21), and group 2, with calcium hydroxide cement (CH) ( n  = 20). Four teeth were maintained intact as an untreated control group. After 7, 30 and 90 days, respectively, 15 teeth were extracted and processed for light microscopic examination. Pulp healing and bacterial microleakage were assessed by haematoxylin and eosin, Masson trichrome and Brown and Brenn stain techniques. The data were analysed statistically by using the Mann–Whitney U test.
Results  After the 7-day observation period, the inflammatory reaction in the SB group was slight and significantly less severe than that of the CH group ( P  < 0.05). After the 30- and 90-day observation periods, the inflammatory reaction was slight in both groups, but specimens with dentine bridge formation in the SB group were significantly less common than those in the CH group ( P  < 0.05).
Conclusions  Clearfil SB had good biocompatibility with human pulp tissue, but its ability to induce reparative dentine was significantly lower than that of calcium hydroxide.

The value of the different radiological examining methods in caries diagnosis]

This in vitro study compared the results of clinical examination (abbreviation CE) and the three radiological methods (i.e RVG-radiovisiography) on occlusal and proximal caries diagnosis,using pathological observation as the final standard.The results are:on occlusal caries diagnosis,CE provide the most accordant result to the pathological result.There are statistically significant differences between SR and CE,BW and CE.1st suggests that to occlusal caries diagnosis,CE is still a convenient and efficient way.On proximal caries diagnosis,there are statistically significant differences between SR and CE,BW and CE.BW has the most coincident result with pathological one.
