Study on technique of enzyme-ultrasonic extraction of polysaccharides from Talinum crassifolium / 国际生物医学工程杂志

Objective To comparatively study the advantage and disadvantage of different polysaccharide extraction methods of enzymatic extraction,ultrasonic extraction and a combination of these two processes.Methods The enzymatic extraction and ultrasonic extraction were first optimized by orthogonal design and then compared with the effect of combination.Results From the results of three extraction techniques,enzymatic extraction of Talinum crassifolium polysaccharide's average extraction rate was 17.45％,ultrasonic extraction was 20.01％,enzyme-ultrasonic extraction was 20.74％.Conclusion The combined optimum preparative procedure of Talinum crassifolium is simple,quickly and high efficient.

Effect of platform switching technique on bone loss in the posterior area of the mandible in the first year following dental implantation / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Peri-implant crestal bone resorption is considered as a normal reaction according to traditional butt-joint prosthesis around two-piece implants. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate bone loss around two-piece implants restored according to the platform switching concept in the posterior area of the mandible. METHODS: Eighty-eight implants were consecutively placed in 50 patients following submerged surgical protocol. In the test group, 40 Ankylos implants were placed using platform switching technique, while 48 3i implants using traditional butt-joint in the control group. All the implants were positioned at the crestal level. Definitive prosthesis was delivered after 3 months. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All implants were judged to be successfully osseointegrated. The success rate was 100%. Twelve months after restoration, radiographic analysis showed an average bone reduction level of (0.31±0.39) mm in the test group that was statistically significantly different (P < 0.01) from the average reduction in the control group [(0.94±0.43) mm]. In the follow-up time, no implants were loose or lost and healthy gingival was seen. These findings show that the platform switching technique can reduce peri-implant crestal bone resorption and preserve alveolar bone level around dental implants 12 months after restoration.Oral Implantology Center, Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Qingdao University, Qingdao 266003, Shandong Province, China
