This study aimed to investigate the success factors of the bone lid surgery technique in the maxillofacial region. A retrospective cohort study was performed on 30 maxillofacial patients who underwent bone lid surgery between January 2014 and December 2019 at our hospital. The predictor variables consisted of clinical factors that were classified as attribute (age and sex), health status (smoking and alcohol intake), anatomical (maxillary/mandibular site, left/right side, and cortical bone thickness), lesion (lesion size, location, and pathological diagnosis), and treatment variables (differences in absorbable osteosynthesis materials). The outcome variable was the incidence of bone lid necrosis after surgery. Various risk factors for postoperative bone lid necrosis were investigated statistically. A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Postoperative bone lid necrosis was observed in three patients (10.0%). No significant differences in the attribute, anatomical, and treatment status variables were noted. Significant differences were observed between smoking (p=0.005) and alcohol intake (p=0.003) in the health status variables. There was a significant difference in the distance of the lesion from the alveolar bone crest in the lesion variables (p=0.037). Smoking and alcohol consumption were the health status variables found to be risk factors for bone lid necrosis. In addition, proximity to the alveolar crest was also a risk factor for lesion development.

Ingestion of excess systemic fluoride results in physiological and pathological disturbances of bone homeostasis. We and others have established that treatment with 50 μM sodium fluoride (NaF) is safe and effective for bone remodeling in cellular and animal models. This study aimed to study the effects of treatment with 50 μM NaF on macrophage-driven osteoclastogenesis and to characterize the function of 50 μM NaF in alveolar bone resorption during aging. Murine RAW264.7 monocytic cells were treated with RANKL in the presence or absence of 50 μM NaF. The mRNA expression levels of Cathepsin K and nuclear factor-activated T-cell cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1), which are involved in the mechanism of osteoclast induction, were measured using quantitative real time RT-PCR. An experimental 50 μM NaF-treated aging mouse model was used to confirm alveolar bone resorption. Micro-CT was used to assess bone loss and immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the protein expression levels of RANKL and Cathepsin K in periodontal tissues. Treatment of RAW264.7 cells with 50 μM NaF repressed osteoclastogenesis. Micro-CT results confirmed that treatment with 50 μM NaF alleviated alveolar bone resorption in aging. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed decreased expression levels of RANKL and cathepsin K in 50 μM NaF-treated mice during aging. Taken together, these results contribute fascinating experimental clues that 50 μM NaF has the potential to function as an anti-resorptive agent during alveolar bone aging.

Bisphosphonate (BP) formulations are drugs that improve bone strength by suppressing osteoclast activation, preventing fractures of the vertebrae and the femoral head, but their side effects include osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). In this case it is known as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), and pathological and microbiological investigations have suggested that infection is one major causative factor. However, many points regarding the etiology of ONJ and its causative factors remain unclear. In this study, we administered BP to model mice and exposed their jaws to bacterial infection to produce a mouse model of BRONJ, and analyzed their bone structure, including an analysis of the quality of bone surrounding extraction cavities. We found that mice not exposed to bacterial infection did not develop ONJ, and that those mice exposed to bacterial infection that did develop ONJ exhibited abnormal collagen fiber arrangement and poor bioapatite crystal alignment. An analysis of areas of bone surrounding poorly healed extraction cavities also revealed that its quality was poor. These results showed that although BP use increases bone mineral density, it reduces the alignment of collagen fibers and decreases bone quality. Zoledronate (Zol) alone resulted in epithelial healing, but reduced bone quality. In addition, it was suggested that bacterial infection could develop into a condition similar to BRONJ.

: Ozone water has long been known as a bactericidal disinfectant. However, the bactericidal effect of ozone water on bacteria associated with oral diseases has not been thoroughly examined. Further, although oral bacteria reside in biofilms, few studies have explored the effects of ozone water on biofilms. In this study, we aimed to investigate the bactericid al effect of ozone water on bacteria and bacterial biofilms associated with oral diseases. We examined the bactericidal and cleaning effects of ozone water on pathogenic bacteria associated with oral diseases ( Staphylococcus aureus , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Streptococcus mutans , and Porphyromonas gingivalis ) under planktonic and biofilm growth conditions. When planktonic bacteria were exposed to 5-ppm ozone water, a remarkable antibacterial activity was observed against all of the tested bacterial species. Contrarily, biofilms showed high resistance to ozone water; the bacterial load only slightly de creased even after repeated exposure to ozone water. However, when ozone water was continuously applied at a low flow rate to the biofilms on polystyrene disks, the number of bacteria on the disks was significantly decreased. Our results have shown that the continuous application of ozone water can eliminate oral disease-related bacteria even in biofilms. washed between treatments, bacterial numbers were also affected by the washing effect of water and ozone water treatments. There were no signs of a reduction in viable counts of S. aureus , P. aeruginosa , and S. mutans biofilms even after three treatments with ozone water, as well as with water. P . gingivalis strains showed a slight decrease in CFUs after water and ozone water treatments.

Rosemary is used as an herb in cooking and aromatic oils, and has long been used as a medicinal herb because of its functional components. According to folklore, monks recommended a remedy of rosemary in alcohol (“Hungarian water”) to a Hungarian queen suffering from limb numbness, resulting in instant recovery and rejuvenation. This is why the queen married a 20-year-old king of Holland while in her seventies. In order to clarify the “rejuvenation” mechanisms of traditional Hungarian water, we examined the anti-oxidant activity, anti-glycation activity, inhibition of melanin production and suppression of tumor growth of ethanol extracts of rosemary in this study. It was found that the ethanol extract had high anti-oxidant activity, high anti-glycation activity, high inhibition of melanin production and high suppression of tumor cell growth.

: To detect the expression of miR-590 in oral lichen planus (OLP) tissues and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissues, and to analyze the correlations with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of OSCC patients. The oral mucosa tissues were selected from 180 patients with OLP or OSCC. They were divided into OLP group (n=92) and OSCC group (n=88), and 40 healthy volunteers with normal oral mucosa tissues were set as control group. Human tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line SCC9 and human oral keratinocyte HOK were used. The expressions of miR-590 in tissues and cells were detected using qPCR. SCC9 cells were transfected with small interfering (si)-miR-590 and si-NC plasmids. MTT assay, flow cytometry and Transwell assay were used to detect cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion abilities, respectively. The expression levels of apoptosis-, migration- and invasion-related proteins were examined using Western blotting. Control, OLP and OSCC groups displayed successively increased expression of miR-590, suggesting that the expression was related to the TNM stage and lymph node metastasis of OSCC patients (P<0.05). Following transfection with si-miR-590, the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of SCC9 cells were weakened significantly, while the apoptosis rate rose (P<0.05). The expression levels of Bcl-2, N-cadherin and vimentin dropped significantly, whereas those of Bax and E-cadherin increased (P<0.05). MiR-590 is highly expressed in OSCC and SCC9 cells. Silencing miR-590 can suppress the proliferation, migration and invasion and promote the apoptosis of SCC9 cells.

: The sinonasal inverted papilloma is one of the more common benign tumors of the nasal cavity and sinus. It origi-nates from the schneiderian membrane. It has the characteristics of easy recurrence and malignant transformation. This experiment found that Cytokeratin 8 expression increased in the sinonasal inverted papilloma. To better detect the role of Cytokeratin 8 in the proliferation and deterioration of the sinonasal inverted papilloma, we divided the sinonasal inverted papilloma into NIPN, NIPAP, and NIPAH by histological. The expression of Cytokeratin 8 in the sinonasal inverted papilloma was detected by immunohistochemistry. We found that the increased expression of Cytokeratin 8 was consistent with the invasion of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma. In vitro , it was found that after Cytokeratin 8 interference, the proliferative and invasion of head and neck squamous cells were decreased. Cytokeratin 8 played an important role of sinonasal inverted papilloma malignant transformation to sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma. Inhibition of Cytokeratin 8 could diminish the proliferation and block the invasion of head and neck squamous cells.

: Drug repositioning (DR) is a strategy to explore new medicinal effects from existing approved drugs whose safety and pharmacokinetics have already been established. We focused on geranylgeranylacetone (GGA), which is known as a heat shock proteins (HSPs) inducing agent. GGA is mainly used as a gastric mucosal protective agent; however, its effects on bone tissues have not been studied. Therefore, we hypothesized that “GGA induces HSPs in osteoblasts thereby promotes cell differentiation”, and administered GGA to MC3T3E-1 cells to examine cell responses. Methods: MC3T3E-1 were cultured in osteogenic medium. After the cultures were established, test cultures were exposed to GGA (GGA group). Cell proliferation, collage synthesis and ALP activity were measured on days 7 and 14 of culture. Alizarin Red S staining was performed on days 21 of culture. Results: On days 14 of culture, cell proliferation and collage synthesis were signifi cantly higher in the GGA group than in the control group (P<0.05). On days 7 and 14 of culture, ALP activity was signifi cantly higher in the GGA group than in the Control group (P<0.05). On days 28 of culture, the Alizarin Red S stained areas were significantly higher in the GGA group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: GGA promoted the differentia tion of MC3T3E-1 in an in vitro cell culture model. We hypothesized that GGA upregulates HSPs and promotes osteoblast differentiation and tested our hypothesis using a series of in vitro experiments. We investigated the responses and phenotypic changes occurring in MC3T3E-1 mouse osteoblast-like cells exposed to GGA. A 10 -3 M GGA concentration was applied to all cell cultures as preliminary assays demonstrated that it was the minimum concentration necessary to produce different calcification levels (unpub lished data).
药物重新定位(Drug repositioning, DR)是一种从已经获得批准且安全性和药代动力学已经确定的药物中探索新疗效的策略。我们重点研究了香叶乙酸酮(GGA)，它被称为热休克蛋白(HSPs)诱导剂。GGA主要用作胃粘膜保护剂;然而，其对骨组织的影响尚未被研究。因此，我们假设“GGA在成骨细胞中诱导热休克蛋白，从而促进细胞分化”，并将GGA注入MC3T3E-1细胞，观察细胞反应。方法:在成骨培养基中培养MC3T3E-1。培养建立后，将实验培养物暴露于GGA (GGA组)。在培养第7天和第14天测定细胞增殖、拼贴合成和碱性磷酸酶活性。第21天进行茜素红S染色。结果:培养第14天，GGA组细胞增殖和拼贴合成显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。培养第7天和第14天，GGA组ALP活性显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。培养第28天，GGA组茜素红S染色面积显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:GGA促进MC3T3E-1在体外细胞培养模型中的分化。我们假设GGA上调热休克蛋白并促进成骨细胞分化，并通过一系列体外实验验证了我们的假设。我们研究了暴露于GGA的MC3T3E-1小鼠成骨细胞样细胞的反应和表型变化。10 -3 M GGA浓度应用于所有细胞培养，初步分析表明，这是产生不同钙化水平所需的最低浓度(未发表的数据)。

: In this study, we determined whether cisplatin can induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) via the activation of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) or glioma-associated antigen-1 (Gli1) signaling pathway in mouse Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath (HERS) cells using a genetic knockdown approach. HERS cells treated with a low concentration of cisplatin (0.5 µM) for 24 h showed no reduction in the cell viability; however, there was a significant increase in the percentages of nu clear staining with γH2AX as compared to that with untreated control cells, indicating that 0.5 µM cisplatin induces DNA damage. Further, 0.5-µM cisplatin-treated cells provided an induction of EMT, showing decreased and increased expression of epithelial and mesenchymal markers, respectively. Enhancement in the EMT activity in cisplatin-treated HERS cells was correlated with increased expression of Shh and accelerated translocation and accumulation of Gli1 expression into the nucleus. The RNA interference-mediated silencing of Gli1 suppressed the acceleration of EMT in cisplatin-treated HERS cells; this was confirmed by no down-regulation or up-regelation in the expression of E-cadherin and vimentin, respectively, along with no increased expression of Snail expression. These findings suggest that the activation of Shh/Gli1 signaling pathway may be required for the enhancement of EMT in cisplatin-treated HERS cells. concentration the activation Shh/Gli1 signaling pathway by of DNA damage. by the following observations: (a) low concentration of cisplatin (0.5 µM) induces DNA damage; however, this concentration does not reduce the cell viability; (b) cisplatin-induced EMT is examined on the basis of downregulated and up-regulated expression of epithelial and mesenchymal markers, respectively; (c) the cispla-tin-treated HERS cells increased Shh and Gli1 expressions; (d) Transfection of Gli1 siRNA into the HERS cells reveals a significant suppression of cisplatin-induced EMT.

: In recent years, atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) has been widely developed for various medical applica-tions, such as medical equipment sterilization, gene transfection, cell proliferation, and wound healing. In particular, non-thermal APPJ enables direct treatment of the biological system without any thermal-associated damage. The effect of cells on APPJ depends upon the gas species used in the treatment. However, the mechanisms underlying osteoblast differen tiation mediated by APPJ with nitrogen are yet to be studied. This study investigated the effects of nitrogen-APPJ on osteo blast differentiation by assessing the transcription factors, extracellular matrix proteins (ECMPs), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and the mRNA and protein expressions of ALP, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and cyclooxygen-ase-2 (COX-2), in an osteoblast mouse cell line. We found that nitrogen-APPJ induced osteoblast differentiation-related transcription factors (runt-related transcription factor 2 [Runx2] and osterix), osteocalcin (OCN), and ALP activity, as well as reduced the mRNA and protein expressions of iNOS and COX-2. Thus, we concluded that APPJ affects differentiation of the osteoblast cells.
