Methods: A retrospective review was performed on 62 patients with lumbar disc herniation from March 2019 to March 2021. The study included an experimental group of 30 patients and a control group of 32 patients. The experimental group underwent PETD combined with nerve root water imaging of MRI, while the control group received traditional PETD treatment. The visual analogue scoring method (VAS score), and JOA lumbar spine function score before and after surgery were compared between the two groups, and efficacy was assessed and compared using the MacNab score. Results: The mean operation time was significantly reduced in the experimental group (56.43 ±10.40 minutes) compared to the control group (65.69 ±14.12 minutes). The VAS score was compared between the two groups with preoperative (p = 0.624), one month after surgery (p = 0.325), three months after surgery (p = 0.676), one year after surgery (p = 0.341);The JOA score was compared between the two groups with preoperative (p = 0.961), one month after the surgery (p = 0.266), three months after surgery (p = 0.185), one year after surgery (p = 0.870), they were no significant statistical difference;The efficacy evaluation of the last follow-up Macnab showed that all the 30 patients in the experimental group were excellent, 31 of 32 patients in the control group were excellent, 1 case was good;There was no statistical difference in the comparison between the two groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The study concludes that the combined approach of PETD with nerve root water imaging of MRI is a safe, effective, and more efficient alternative to conventional PETD for treating lumbar disc herniation.展开更多

Tooth crown development has been studied intensively during the last few decades, but root development remains not well understood. Here we review the root development processes, including cell fate determination, induction of odontoblast and cementoblast differentiation, interaction of root epithelium and mesenchyme, and other molecular mechanisms. This review summarizes our current understanding of the signaling cascades and mechanisms involved in root development. It also sets the stage for de novo tooth regeneration.展开更多

At present, however, it is unknown, which further (side) effects can be expected during orthodontic treatment at a nicotine exposure corresponding to that of an average European smoker. 63 male Fischer344 rats were randomized in three consecutive experiments of 21 animals each (A/B/C) to 3 experimental groups (7 rats, 112/3). (A) cone-beam-computed tomography (CBCT); (B) histology/serology; (C) reverse- transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR)/cotinine serology--(1) control; (2) orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) of the first and second upper left molar (NiTi closed coil spring, 0.25 N); (3) OTM with 1.89 mg-kg- 1 per day s.c. of L(- )-nicotine. After 14 days of OTM, serum cotinine and IL-6 concentration as well as orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR), osteoclast activity (histology), orthodontic tooth movement velocity (CBCT, within 14 and 28 days of OTM) and relative gene expression of known inflammatory and osteoclast markers were quantified in the dental-periodontal tissue (RT-qPCR). Animals exposed to nicotine showed significantly heightened serum cotinine and IL-6 levels corresponding to those of regular European smokers. Both the extent of root resorption, osteoclast activity, orthodontic tooth movement and gene expression of inflammatory and osteoclast markers were significantly increased compared to controls with and without OTM under the influence of nicotine. We conclude that apart from increased periodontal bone loss, a progression of dental root resorption and accelerated orthodontic tooth movement are to be anticipated during orthodontic therapy, if nicotine consumption is present. Thus patients should be informed about these risks and the necessity of nicotine abstinence during treatment.展开更多

Research on the prestressing of the inner ring gear is in the preliminary stage, and the distribution rule of the prestressing and the influence of each parameter on the interference prestressing have not been derived. In this paper, based on the method of calculating the prestressing of the thick cylinder in interference fit, the ring gear is found to be equivalent to a thick cylinder, and the distribution rule of prestressing of the ring gear in the interference fit is inferred. Then, by modeling and analyzing the gearbox body and ring gear in the interference fit using ABAQUS, the distribution rule of prestressing the ring gear in the interference fit is obtained through a numerical simulation. Finally, the prestressing of the ring gear in the interference fit is measured using X-ray di raction, and the distribution rule of prestressing of the ring gear in the interference fit is obtained through analysis. Compared with the distribution rule of prestressing in theory, numerical simulation, and experiment, the theoretical distribution rule of prestressing is amended through a statistical method, and a more accurate formula of prestressing is obtained. Through the calculation of the stress and bending moment in the dangerous section of the ring gear through prestressing, the formula for checking the tooth root flexural fatigue strength in the interference fit prestressing is inferred. This research proposes a tooth root bending strength conditional formula for the inner ring gear of the interference fit, which serves as a guide for the design and production of the actual interference joint inner ring gear.展开更多

It was suggested that the increase may result from a surgery-associated alteration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium metabolism. Materials and Methods: 30 young adult patients were divided into a mandibular osteotomy group (Group A, n = 20) and an untreated control group (Group B, n = 10). Tooth mobility was evaluated using the Periotest device. Tooth mobility, serum PTH and calcium levels were determined repeatedly for both groups. Results: The tooth mobility was increased significantly in the Group A patients in the first 10 days post-surgery. All serum PTH and calcium mean levels were within normal ranges. No significant differences were found between the measurements of both groups. The serum calcium levels recorded at the 1st post-surgery day were slightly lower in the operated patients compared to the control group. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the increased facility of orthodontic tooth movement immediately post-surgery was confirmed by Periotest measurements, while no association was found with surgery-related altered levels of PTH and calcium. Since dietary effects can be ruled out, the increase of clinical tooth mobility may rather result from preoperative orthodontic forces and/or the post-surgical elimination of masticatory muscular influences.展开更多

文摘Orthodontic forces have been reported to significantly increase nicotine-induced periodontal bone loss. At present, however, it is unknown, which further (side) effects can be expected during orthodontic treatment at a nicotine exposure corresponding to that of an average European smoker. 63 male Fischer344 rats were randomized in three consecutive experiments of 21 animals each (A/B/C) to 3 experimental groups (7 rats, 112/3). (A) cone-beam-computed tomography (CBCT); (B) histology/serology; (C) reverse- transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR)/cotinine serology--(1) control; (2) orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) of the first and second upper left molar (NiTi closed coil spring, 0.25 N); (3) OTM with 1.89 mg-kg- 1 per day s.c. of L(- )-nicotine. After 14 days of OTM, serum cotinine and IL-6 concentration as well as orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR), osteoclast activity (histology), orthodontic tooth movement velocity (CBCT, within 14 and 28 days of OTM) and relative gene expression of known inflammatory and osteoclast markers were quantified in the dental-periodontal tissue (RT-qPCR). Animals exposed to nicotine showed significantly heightened serum cotinine and IL-6 levels corresponding to those of regular European smokers. Both the extent of root resorption, osteoclast activity, orthodontic tooth movement and gene expression of inflammatory and osteoclast markers were significantly increased compared to controls with and without OTM under the influence of nicotine. We conclude that apart from increased periodontal bone loss, a progression of dental root resorption and accelerated orthodontic tooth movement are to be anticipated during orthodontic therapy, if nicotine consumption is present. Thus patients should be informed about these risks and the necessity of nicotine abstinence during treatment.

文摘Introduction: Following orthognathic surgery, increased tooth mobility is observed clinically and is utilized for postsurgical orthodontic tooth movement. It was suggested that the increase may result from a surgery-associated alteration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium metabolism. Materials and Methods: 30 young adult patients were divided into a mandibular osteotomy group (Group A, n = 20) and an untreated control group (Group B, n = 10). Tooth mobility was evaluated using the Periotest device. Tooth mobility, serum PTH and calcium levels were determined repeatedly for both groups. Results: The tooth mobility was increased significantly in the Group A patients in the first 10 days post-surgery. All serum PTH and calcium mean levels were within normal ranges. No significant differences were found between the measurements of both groups. The serum calcium levels recorded at the 1st post-surgery day were slightly lower in the operated patients compared to the control group. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the increased facility of orthodontic tooth movement immediately post-surgery was confirmed by Periotest measurements, while no association was found with surgery-related altered levels of PTH and calcium. Since dietary effects can be ruled out, the increase of clinical tooth mobility may rather result from preoperative orthodontic forces and/or the post-surgical elimination of masticatory muscular influences.

文摘BACKGROUND Pulp revascularization is a novel way to treat immature teeth with periapical disease,and the technique has become increasingly well established in recent years.By puncturing the periapical tissue,bleeding is induced,and a blood clot is formed in the root canal.The blood clot acts as a natural bioscaffold onto which mesenchymal stem cells from periapical tissue can be seeded and restore pulp vascularity,thus promoting root development as well as apical closure.Although the effect of pulp revascularization is ideal,there are certain requirements for the apical condition of the teeth.The apical barrier technique and apexification are still indispensable for teeth that cannot achieve ideal blood clot formation.In addition,a meta-analysis of several clinical studies concluded that pulp revascu-larization has no significant advantages over other treatments.CASE SUMMARY A 10-year-old girl complained of pain in the right upper and lower posterior teeth for 2 d.Clinical and radiological examinations revealed that both the right maxillary and mandibular second premolars were immature with periapical radiolucency.The right maxillary second premolar was treated by pulp revascu-larization,while the right mandibular second premolar was treated by conven-tional apical barrier surgery after revascularization failed.The purpose of this report is to compare the different root maturation processes induced by the pulp revascularization and apical barrier techniques in the same patient in homonymous teeth from different jaws.Twelve months of follow-up showed that the apical foramen of both teeth presented a clear tendency to close;however,the tooth treated with pulp revascularization showed a significant increase in root length as well as root canal wall thickness.CONCLUSION For the treatment of nonvital immature teeth,pulp revascularization showed a superior therapeutic effect in comparison with the apical barrier technique.
文摘目的:体外评价新型根尖倒充填材料iRoot BP plus和iRoot FS的生物学性能。方法:(1)将牙根预备成长3 mm、根管直径1 mm的试样,分别于根管内填充iRoot BP plus、iRoot FS和三氧化矿物凝聚体(mineral trioxide aggregate,MTA)。将制备好的试样置于模拟体液(simulated body fluid,SBF)中,用扫描电子显微镜观察暴露的材料表面矿物沉积情况,并通过X射线能谱对其表面形成的晶体进行元素分析,测定SBF的p H值随时间的变化。(2)将iRoot BP plus、iRoot FS和MTA制备成直径8 mm、高度2 mm的圆柱,制备DMEM浸提液,通过MTT实验观察材料对MG63细胞增殖活性的影响,并通过实时荧光定量PCR和碱性磷酸酶(alkaline phosphatase,ALP)染色分析材料对ALP基因及蛋白表达的影响。结果:(1)在SBF中浸泡24 h时,iRoot BP plus、iRoot FS和MTA表面均已有矿物沉积,14 d后有大量矿物沉积,钙∶磷比值分别为1.43、1.39和1.51;(2)iRoot BP plus、iRoot FS和MTA均可使SBF的p H升高,3周时分别为8.09±0.07、7.91±0.06和8.11±0.06;(3)以体积比为1∶5和1∶10稀释的iRoot BP plus、iRoot FS和MTA浸提液对MG63细胞的增殖无明显促进或抑制作用;(4)iRoot BP plus、iRoot FS和MTA组对MG63细胞ALP基因的表达均具有促进作用,ALP染色各组未见明显差异。结论:iRoot在模拟体液中可诱导矿物质沉积,促进MG63细胞的分化和矿化,具有良好的生物活性和促成骨作用。
文摘目的:探究纤维桩+复合树脂+氧化锆全瓷冠修复根管治疗后后牙楔状缺损患者的效果及美观满意度。方法:纳入2022年1月-2023年1月在笔者医院就诊的102例后牙楔状缺损患者,根据患者自主选择意愿分为研究组(n=50)和对照组(n=52),对照组行金属桩核+金属烤瓷冠修复,研究组行纤维桩+复合树脂+氧化锆全瓷冠修复。6个月后,对比两组临床疗效,观察两组牙周健康情况(牙龈指数、菌斑指数、龈沟出血指数),检测牙周炎症[肿瘤坏死因子-α(Tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)、白细胞介素-4(Interleukin-4,IL-4)、白细胞介素-6(Interleukin-6,IL-6)],调查美观满意度[美国公共健康服务标准(United states public health service,USPHS)]和实用度(咀嚼功能、咬合情况、语言功能),比较两组并发症发生情况。结果:治疗后,研究组治疗有效率达92.00%,高于对照组的76.92%(P<0.05);两组牙周健康相关指数及TNF-α、IL-4、IL-6均较治疗前降低,且研究组降低幅度大于对照组(P<0.05);治疗后,研究组牙齿表面形态、色泽协调性、边缘着色满意度均高于对照组(P<0.05),两组咀嚼功能、咬合情况、语言功能均较治疗前提高,但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);两组并发症发生率比较治疗组低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:采用纤维桩+复合树脂+氧化锆全瓷冠修复根管治疗后后牙楔状缺损能够减轻炎症反应,提升患者牙周健康,增加美观满意度及实用度,疗效显著,安全性高。
