ABSTRACT
This article presented a series of cases using vascularized interpositional periosteal-connective tissue ( VIP-CT) flap with guide bone regeneration ( GBR) in peri-implant soft and hard tissue reconstuction at the esthet-ic zone of maxillary. Fifteen cases with bone and soft tissue defects underwent VIP-CT flap with GBR in the implant treatment. And the attached gingiva width was evaluated before treatment and six months and eighteen months after the operation. The width of attached gingival of six months and eighteen months after surgery was significantly dif-ferent from the preoperative value (P<0. 05). However, no statistically significant difference could be found at six months and eighteen months postoperative. The application of VIP-CT flap could increase the width of attached gin-giva around implants and the short-term effects were stable and favorable.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of HAp-CS composite microsphere scaffold on the in vitro cell behaviors of mesenchymal cells and evaluate its potential application for bone tissue engineering.Methods Nano-hydroxyap-atite (HAp)and chitosan (CS)composites solution were assembled into microsphere scaffold through microfluidic and observed by inverted microscope.Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were co-cultured in vitro with the microspheres for calculating the adhesion rate for the first 6h.Proliferation rate was measured by cell counting in the next 1,3,6,9 d,respectively,and GraphPad Prism 6 software was used for statistical analysis.The morphology of BMSCs on the surface of HAp-CS composite microsphere was observed by scanning electron micros-copy (SEM)and confocal scanning microscopy.The cells and HAp-CS microspheres were filled into a disc mold and co-cultured for 14 ~21 d to observe the morphology.Results HAp-CS microspheres were observed to be round and with uniform size by microscope.The adhesion rate of BMSCs reached 80% after cultured for 6 h,and proliferation rate reached the highest value when cultured for 6 d.SEM observations showed that BMSCs adhered compactly to the surface of the microspheres,and the microspheres could be connected together through BMSCs.Af-ter co-culturing BMSCs with microspheres for 14 ~21 d,a complete tissue constructs could be formed.Conclusion HAp-CS microspheres are proved to be good scaffolds for promoting BMSCs adhesion and proliferation.Large a-mount of extracellular matrix can be formed to connect microspheres after co-cultured for a certain time,which paves the way for HAp-CS microspheres to be applied for bone regeneration in animal experiments.
ABSTRACT
Currently,with the rapid development of drug delivery technologies,more and more efforts are taken into the efficient therapies for various diseases by delivering biologically-active macromolecules into the target cells directly.Although a certain number of positive treatment results were obtained from the therapies by using the biomacromolecules to cure some diseases,the microenvironment around the target cell still has a great influence on the final treatment effect.Since many diseases and injuries interfere the normal architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM),the cell adhesion to ECM and the subsequent cellular activities,the normal microenvironment of the cell plays a critical role in maintaining body balance,tissue regeneration and repair.Given these points,this paper reviews the effects of the cellular microenvironment constructed by ECM on the efficacy of bioactive macromolecules,and provides a theoretical basis for future drug design and synthesis of pharmaceuticals.

ABSTRACT
From March 2004 to June 2007, the effect of the 32 Endopore implants which were placed in 25 patients with the inadequate alveolar jaw bone treated in the Implant Center of Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Anhui Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with Endopore implants of 5 mm ? 7 mm without any bone grafts simultaneously. Second-stage restoration was conducted 3-6 months later. Regular follow-up was between 1 and 4 years. All of the 32 implants gained osseointegration and were restored. During the follow-up, no implant loosed or lost. No inflammation was observed in the soft tissue around the implants. All the patients were satisfied with the final prostheses. With the unique root surface of porous microscopic titanium particle and the shorter design, Endopore implants can be used in the posterior area of inadequate alveolar jaw bone. They could improve the indication of the dental implant.
