ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of minimally invasive techniques for removing impacted wisdom teeth on local inflammation and pain. Methods A total of 110 patients with impacted wisdom teeth removed in our department from June 2016 to February 2018 were divided into observation group(55 cases,minimally invasive removal) and control group (55 cases, traditional chisel) according to the surgical method. The operative status, the inflammatory mediators and pain mediators in the gingival sulcus before and after the treatment, and the therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared. Results The operative time of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group,the intraoperative blood loss was less than that in the control group, the differences were significant(P ＜ 0. 05). The levels of PTX3, cells in the gingival sulcus adhesion of cytokine 1 (ICAM1),peroxidase (MPO),prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels,pain mediator 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT), calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP), substance P(SP), galanin(Gla) and adenosine triphosphate(ATP) in the observation group after treatment was lower than those in the control group, the differences were significant(P ＜ 0. 05); The degree of mouth opening restriction, facial swelling and visual analog scale score(VAS) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, the differences were significant(P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion Compared with traditional chisel in extraction of impacted wisdom teeth, the minimally invasive wisdom tooth extraction can relieve the inflammatory response and pain sensation of patients,and the clinical treatment effect is significant.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the role of sinusoidal endothelial cell in the development of liver fibrosis, and to dissect the relationship among hepatic microcirculation disorders, hepatic sinusoidal capilarization and liver fibrosis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Liver biopsy was performed in fifty-six patients with chronic hepatitis B. The liver tissues were observed under light microscope and transmitted electronic microscope.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of 56 cases, 39 cases were mild hepatitis, 10 were moderate hepatitis, and 7 were severe hepatitis. The morphology of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) was similar to that of fibroblasts in the tissues of the patients with chronic hepatitis B. Collagenous fibers were deposited around the hepatic stellate cells. Electron-dense materials were deposited between sinusoidal endothelial cell and hepatic stellate cell. The size and amount of fenestraes of sinusoidal endothelial cells were reduced in 53 of 56 cases. The consecutive or inconsecutive membrane-like materials were observed along sinusoidal endothelial cells in 20 cases. Collagen fibers were observed in the space of Disse in 15 cases. Even in the patients with normal hepatic functions, red blood cells aggregation and microthrombi could be observed in the liver tissues.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Sinusoidal endothelial cells are involved in development of liver fibrosis by interacting with hepatic stellate cells. Hepatic microcirculation disorders and sinusoidal capillarization are important changes in the early stage of liver fibrosis.</p>
