Tissue samples taken from human gingiva were primarily cultured and passaged. Cells from passages 3–7 were used. HGFs were treated by modified nonequilibrium plasma with 2% CHX for 0 min（control group）, 30 s, 1 min, 1.5 min, 3 min, 5 min, and 10 min, respectively, and then they were incubated for 0, 24, and 48 h. After that, cell counting kit-8（CCK-8） assay was applied to analyze the cytotoxicity of modified nonequilibrium plasma with 2% CHX on HGFs. There was no significant difference between the 0 h group treated with the modified nonequilibrium plasma for 1 min and the control group（P〉0.05）. However, there were significant differences between all the other treated groups and the control group（P〈0.05）. When treated for 1.5 min or shorter, the cell viability was obviously increased; while treated for 3 min or longer, it was obviously reduced. Moreover, when successively cultured for 0, 24, and 48 h, cell viability was decreased at first and then increased in the 3-min-treated and 5-min-treated groups. The modified nonequilibrium plasma with 2% CHX was of no influence on cell viability in 1.5 min treatment, and it could be safely used on root canal treatment.展开更多

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the proliferation and cell growth capacity of lidocaine on human gingival fibroblast cells and the different signal pathways involved in its effect. Method: For this purpose in vitro cultures of human gingival fibroblasts were assayed and the effects of lidocaine on proliferation and cell DNA synthesis, Na+-K+-ATPase and PKC activities and K+ efflux were also evaluated. Results: Lidocaine stimulated in a concentration-dependent manner proliferation and cell growth of human gingival cells and the mechanism involve an increment in Na+-K+-ATPase and PKC activities, which led to an increase in K+ release. All of these effects were blocked by tetrodotoxin, ouabain and calphostin C. In addition, PMA (activator of PKC) increased per se the DNA synthesis of human gingival fibroblast cells. Conclusions: This work demonstrates that lidocaine increase human gingival fibroblasts DNA synthesis and proliferation through an activation of PKC pathway accompanied by the stimulation of Na+-K+-ATPase activity with an increase in K+ efflux. These results contribute to showing another action of lidocaine different to its general use as a drug that relieves odontologic pain or acts as an anti-arrithmogenic agent.展开更多

Continuous 3T3 mouse fibroblast cell lines were used for comparison. The results show that conventional glass-ionomer cement (GIC) Fuji II is not cytotoxic to all the cells. Resin-modified GIC (RMGIC) Fuji II LC is not cytotoxic to both HPCs and HGFs but cytotoxic to 3T3 cells. RMGIC Vitremer and resin composite Z100 are very cytotoxic to all the cells. Resin composite P60 is cytotoxic but much less cytotoxic than Z100. Polycarboxylate cement Durelon is the most cytotoxic among the six tested materials. It was found that continuous 3T3 cell lines were more vulnerable to leachable cytotoxic components than primary HPCs and HGFs. It was also found that the cytotoxcity of the tested materials was dose-dependent.展开更多

In this study,we fabricated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-3-hydroxyvalerate)(PHBV)coatings doped with Gd^(3+)(1,5,and 10×10^(−4) mol/L)on Ti6Al4V alloy for the first time to promote soft tissue sealing around dental imp...In this study,we fabricated poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-3-hydroxyvalerate)(PHBV)coatings doped with Gd^(3+)(1,5,and 10×10^(−4) mol/L)on Ti6Al4V alloy for the first time to promote soft tissue sealing around dental implants.The corrosion resistance of Gd^(3+)-modified PHBV-coated Ti6Al4V was studied by electrochemical and immersion tests,respectively,whereas CCK-8 and RT-PCR evaluated the biocompatibility to human gingival fibroblasts(HGFs)and human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs).It was found that the Gd^(3+)-modified PHBV coating could enhance the corrosion resistance of Ti6Al4V.In vitro cell tests showed that PHBV coatings with and without Gd^(3+) addition could promote adhesion and proliferation of HGFs and HUVECs,showing a Gd^(3+) content-dependent manner.Moreover,it was found that the PDA-PHBV@1Gd showed the best proliferation to HGFs by up-regulating gene expressions of VINCULIN,ITGB1,and ITGA3,whereas the best response to HUVECs with the highest gene expression of eNOS and HIF-1αgenes was found in the PDA-PHBV@5Gd-coated group.展开更多
