Research progress on forkhead box protein O1 and bone metabolism / 华西口腔医学杂志

Recent studies found that forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) does not only demonstrate important biological functions in cell proliferation, gluconeogenesis, energy metabolism, and oxidative stress, but it also plays a vital role in the remodeling process of bones. FoxO1 can regulate bone mass by affecting osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and precursor cells. In this article, we review the role of FoxO1 in bone metabolism and elucidate its underlying mechanism.

Three-dimensional finite element analysis of canine distalization through reducing resistance and distraction osteogenesis / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:Peridental membrane distraction osteogenesis exerts the functions at peridental membrane and leads to tooth movement. Alveolar bone distraction osteogenesis produces tooth movement through the displacement of the whole bone plate. OBJECTIVE:To establish three-dimensional finite element model of upper and lower jaw of healthy adults under three different conditions, and to compare the stress distribution and distal movement of the models using three-dimensional finite element analysis method. METHODS:Model 1:three-dimensional finite element model of the canine under normal conditions using a variety of software;Model 2:three-dimensional finite element model of the canine after distracting osteggenesis of the periodontal ligament;Model 3, three-dimensional finite element model of the canine after reducing resistance and distracting osteggenesis of the alveolar bone. The force loadings were stimulated among these models. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The biggest displacements on those three models occurred in canine crown on 1/3, and the displacement quantity on canine was model 2>model 3>model 1. The biggest equivalent stress concentrated in distal alveolar crest, and the equivalent stress was model 2
