ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the periodontal status in patients with oral submucous fibrosis (OSF), and to provide reference for the treatment and prophylaxis in patients with OSF and betel chewers.@*METHODS@#Fifty samples clinically and pathologically diagnosed as OSF patients were selected as the OSF group, another 50 age-matched healthy volunteers in the similar living condition were compared with the OSF patients and non-betel nut chewers were classified as the control group. The 5 periodontal clinical parameters were collected and recorded, including plaque index, periodontal probing depth, clinical attachment loss, gingival index, and tooth count of bleeding of probing.@*RESULTS@#There was a significant difference in plaque index (PLI) between the OSF group (2.14+/-0.64) and the control group (1.7+/-0.89) (P0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#OSF patients tend to accumulate plaque, and have deep periodontal pocket, periodontal inflammation or severe periodontal damage.

Objective To investigate the effects on proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) by recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in mice. Methods Kunming mice were randomly divided into G-CSF and control groups (n=15). The mice were subjected to subcutaneous injections of rhG-CSF at a dose of 80 ?g/kg per day and control of saline for 5 days. The bone marrow was obtained on 6th, 12th and 168th h respectively after the final administration. The MSCs were separated and cultured, and the colony-forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) was evaluated. The cell cycle and the surface antigens were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results The number of CFU-F was increased after administration of the rhG-CSF (P 0.05). Flow cytometic detection of MSCs surface marks in fibroblast colony showed CD34~ -, CD133~ -, CD90~ + and CD105~ +, with the percentage of 2.5 %, 3.1 %, 67.0 % and 78.0 %, respectively. After mobilization with rhG-CSF, the percentage of G_0/G_1 phases in bone marrow MNCs was decreased (P
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To detect the expression and distribution of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in periodontal tissues, and analyze the role of EGF in orthodontic tooth movement.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>According to Kings methods, 40 g mesial force was applied to pull the left maxillary first molar in the rat. Using immunohistochemical method (HI-SABC method) to localize and examine the expression of EGF and EGFR in decalcified alveodental connective tissues at 24 hours and 168 hours of tooth movement.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>EGF and EGFR were stained at some of periodontal ligament of furcation and radical regions in control group. These expressions of EGF and EGFR increased in periodontal tissues (P < 0.01), with the expressions at 168 hours higher than those at 24 hours (P < 0.01). And levels of EGF and EGFR at tension side were higher than those at pressure side at the same time (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Epidermal growth factor participated in the tissues remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement and especially played a more important role in orthodontic bone formation.</p>

Objective To investigate the effect of co transfusion of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSC) on hematopoietic recovery in mice after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation(allo-BMT).Methods Both BMMSC obtained after three to four weeks of culture and bone marrow cells of donor mice C57BL/6(H-2~b) were transplanted into the recipient mice BalB/c(H-2~d) that were lethally irradiated.Peripheral blood cells were counted on day 1,7,and 14 post-transplantation.CFU-S in recipient bone marrows were measured on day 7 and 14.Results The numbers of peripheral WBC,RBC,platelets and the number of CFU-S in recipient bone marrows on day 7 and 14 were all significantly higher in the co-infusion group than those in control group(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSC) on graft versus host disease (GVHD) and survival rate after allogenic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) mice. Methods In the experimental group, both bone marrow cells and BMMSC obtained from donor mice were transplanted into the recipient mice injected with leukemia cells five days ago, and in the control group, the mice was injected with bone marrow cells alone. The impact of BMMSC on the quantity of CD 4 + and CD 8 + T cells after allo-BMT was evaluated by flow cytometry. The general manifestation and pathological changes of GVHD were observed. The survival time of recipient mice was recorded. Results BMMSC could decrease the quantity of CD 4 + T cells, increase CD 8 + T cells number, delay GVHD, and obviously increase the survival time in the mice treated with allo-BMT(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of IL 11 on graft versus host disease and graft versus leukemia after allogenic bone marrow transplantation and related mechanism in acute lymphoblastic leukemic (ALL) mice. Methods Twenty nude mice and 20 BABL/c mice were randomly divided into 2 groups separately, total 4 groups. Group A and C, nude mice and BABL/c mice control group respectively; Group B and D, nude mice and BABL/c mice experimental group. The mice in the experimental groups were subjected to the subcutaneous injection of IL 11 2 days before transplantation and 7 days after transplantation, while those in the control groups not to IL 11. The effects of IL 11 on CD4 + and CD8 + T cells before and after transplantation in ALL mice were evaluated by flow cytometry. The survival time of ALL mice after marrow transplantation was recorded. The GVHD pathological changes of liver, spleen and intestine in ALL mice after transplantation were observed. The level of tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF ?) was detected by ELISA. Results In group D, IL 11 could significantly decrease the number of CD4 + T cells and increase CD8 + T cells simultaneously. IL 11 could obviously prolong the survival time, delay and relieve GVHD, and decrease the level of TNF ? in ALL mice after transplantation. Conclusion IL 11 could alleviate GVHD and retain GVL effect after allogenic bone marrow transplantation.
