ABSTRACT
The data of 10 cases of traumatic extra-articular ankylosis of temporomandibular joint(TMJ),including the type of trauma and the type of ankylosis,pathology,treatment method,prognosis,and so on were collected and analyzed.A reference of diagnosis and treatment is provided.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of bFGF on the proliferation of human salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma cell ACC-2 in vitro. Methods:The effect of bFGF on proliferation of ACC-2 cell line was observed by MTT assay; ERK activity was measured by immuno-precipitation; and ERK and I-?B? expressions were assessed by Western blot. Results:bFGF can enhance the proliferation of ACC-2 cell line. Stimulated by bFGF, the proliferation ratio increased significantly. The intracellular ERK activity and p-ERK expression were increased and I-?B? expression was inhibited by different concentrations of bFGF. The above effects of bFGF can be attenuated by MEK inhibitor U0126. Conclusion:bFGF stimulates the proliferation of ACC-2 in the dose dependent manner, which may be due to up-regulating ERK, NF-?B signaling pathway.
