    Abstract:Postoperative hemorrhage of tooth extraction is one of the common complications following the extraction of tooth which makes patients suffer much. Though the hemorrhage caused by systematic factors are rare,they will bring more risks for patients,sometimes even threaten the lives of patients, if our oral and maxillofacial surgeons(OMFS) could not treat it timely. So as OMFS, we should not only concern on local factors, but also know the systematic factors. This paper will introduce the probable systematic factors which may cause postoperative hemorrhage,in order to provide help for clinicians to treat and prevent this complication.

    Abstract:Tooth extraction is the most common and basic oral surgery, with which bleeding is a normal complication. Due to the oral cavity's unique anatomical structure and physioloical environment, major hemorrhage can occur if attentions are inadequate during inquiry, operation, and postoperative treatment of preoperative extractions. This may lead to the death of patient. This paper, by introducing the causes and the precautions of tooth extraction hemorrhage resulted from local factors, helps doctors recognise the importance of bleeding and its appropriate handling, making the clinical operation process more standardized and predictable.

    Abstract:Objective To discuss the effect of PG0839 of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.gingivalis) on inflammatory cytokine expression, including interleukin 1β and interleukin 6, in liver tissues and serum of mice. Methods The study was completed in the central laboratory of School of Stomatology, China Medical University from Jun. 2013 to Nov. 2013. Group 1 was challenged with P.gingivalis W83 strain at the doses of 1×109 CFU/ml cells. Group 2 was challenged with PG0839-defective mutant at the same dose. All mice in both groups were challenged with subcutaneous injections of 0.1 mL of bacterial suspension at two sites on the dorsal surface. Control group was challenged with 0.1 mL sterile PBS only. After 5 days, all mice were sacrificed, and the liver and serum were stored. The levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in mice liver tissue and serum were detected using ELISA. Analyze all result data with statistics software SPSS 13.0. Results IL-1β expression in the liver tissue and serum of mice was lower in group 2 than in group 1 (P < 0 05). Compared with the control group, IL-1β and IL-6 expressions in the liver tissue and serum of mice were significantly increased in group 1 and 2 (P < 0 05). Conclusion These results suggest that PG0839 may participate in the process of P.gingivalis inducing systemic inflammation in mice.

    Abstract:Objective To discuss the castability of domestic pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Methods This study was conducted in the Dalian Stomatological Hospital and Dalian University of Technology in 2012 from September to December. Domestic pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy were two treatment groups; imported pure titanium was control group. Eighteen net wax patterns were made for castability value with 20 mm × 20 mm × 0.76 mm, 7×6 grating net, each group was with 6 wax patterns. Six rod patterns were made for SEM with 3.5 mm in diameter, 10 mm in length; each group was with 2 wax patterns. All wax patterns were through investing, roasting, and casting. Casting property of domestic pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy were evaluated on castability value, X-ray, scanning electron microscope and vickers hardness tester. Results The castability value of domestic pure titanium, Ti-6Al-4V alloy and imported pure titanium were different. Imported pure titanium was higher(χ2 = 9.28,P<0.05). All the three materials had a bit of pores far from the heart of casting. SEM showed that loosen porous could be seen on the surface topography of them all. SEM analysis displayed impurity element diffusion. Vickers hardness test showed that the hardness of surface was higher than the interior. Conclusion Domestic pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy are different from imported pure titanium in castability value, but all of them complied with the requirements of the clinical use. Internal pore and surface reaction layer are similar to import pureed titanium;both domestic pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy can be applied to clinical use in castability.

    Abstract:Objective To detect the influence of high glucose circumstance on expression of correlation factors including TRAIL, OPG and OPGL and proliferating cycle of human osteoblast (MG63) in order to make sure whether high concentration of blood glucose can have relationship with physiological functions of human osteoblasts. Then the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus with chronic periodontitis can be explored which may provide theoretical basis for clinical orthodontic treatment. Methods Firstly, MG63 cells were put into medium of different concentrations (5.5, 8, 11, 20, 30mmol/L) for 24 hours. Then several measurements were carried out;MTT colorimetric measurement was used to detect proliferation;flow cytometry was used to detect cell cycle; reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of TRAIL, OPG, OPGL and mRNA. All the data were analyzed by SPSS 16 software. Results Low concentration of glucose had no significant influence on the proliferation of MG63 cells and other biological activity; with the concentration of glucose increasing, the proliferation of MG63 cells was inhibited (the percentage of G1 phase cells increased;the proportion of S phase unchanged;the percentage of G2 phase cells decreased);with the increase of glucose concentration, expression of TRAIL and OPGL mRNA of MG63 cells showed an increasing trend (P < 0.05), but OPG showed opposite trend. Conclusion Circumstance of high glucose can inhibit MG63 proliferation and lead to the increasing expression of TRAIL and OPGL and the decreasing expression of OPG of human osteoblast.

    Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect of rapid and slow palatal expansion with Hyrax for correcting narrow maxilla during late mixed dentition. Methods Sixty adolescent patients at late mixed dentition with transverse deficiencies were divided into two groups. They received RME treatment and SME treatment. They received cone beam computerized tomography scans before and after expansion. With three-dimensional reconstruction on Invivo5 software, items were measured including maxillary width at the level of hard palate, buccal dental arch width , angle of bilateral inclination alveolar , angle of bilateral inclination teeth,and buccal and lingual bone thickness in maxillary first molar and first premolar. The data was statistically analyzed. Results Oronal - There was no difference in two groups in bone effect and buccal dental arch width. Buccal dental arch width increased after expansion, bone effect in first premolar was more significant than first molar. The alveolar bone reconstruction and teeth tipping were obvious. The alveolar bone reconstructions in slow maxillary expansion group were more obvious than rapid maxillary expansion group, but teeth tipping in rapid maxillary expansion group was more obvious than slow maxillary expansion group. Axial - buccal bone thickness was reduced, lingual bone thickness was increased, but buccal reduction in rapid maxillary expansion group was more than slow maxillary expansion group. Two groups were significantly different. Conclusion Compared with rapid maxillary expansion, slow maxillary expansion meets the physical characteristics with slight force,which is an effective form of arch expansion with little influence on buccal bone thickness at late mixed dentition patients.

    Abstract: Objective To study the expression of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)and Survivin in ameloblastoma(AB)tissues and its clinical significance. Methods Detect the expression of COX-2 and Survivin by Western Blot method from 20 cases suffering from AB and 20 cases of normal oral mucosa. Results The expression of COX-2 and Survivin in ameloblastoma tissues was significantly higher than those in normal oral mucosa tissues (P < 0.05). The high expression of COX-2 was positively correlated with the positive expression of Survivin at the same time(r = 0.778, P < 0.05).Conclusion COX-2 and Survivin are overexpressed in the AB, and they express slight in the normal oral mucosas. The results suggest that the overexpression of COX-2 and Survivin in human ameloblastoma is closely correlated. COX-2 and Survivin get involved in the occurrence and development of the AB.

    Abstract: Pulp canal obliteration (PCO) is one of the common complications after dental trauma, usually occurring in adolescents, more commonly in immature teeth. The exact mechanism of PCO is not fully understood, which may be an outcome of revascularization and/or reinnervation of the impaired pulp after trauma. And it also may be attributable to the trauma itself or to the changes in pulpal blood flow after repositioning and splinting of the traumatized teeth. As to the teeth with PCO following dental trauma, some scholars believe that root canal therapy is necessary to avoid apical periodontitis or for esthetic restoration. However, most scholars consider that long-term follow-up is still strongly recommended. Root canal therapy of the involved tooth should be performed only if the pulp tissue becomes necrotic or if apical periodontitis develops. Moreover, root canal therapy is a challenge for the teeth with PCO, which is technically complicated. In a word, periodic follow-up and close observation of traumatized teeth are necessary to timely detect the occurrence of PCO.
