RESUMO
BACKGROUND:The mechanism underlying orthodontic-induced external root resorption is not yet clear, and it differs individual y. Kidney deficiency has been proved to be related to bone diseases which mediated by different cytokines. Interleukin-17 is an important cytokine involved in external root resorption. So figuring out whether kidney deficiency and interleukin-17 are related to root resorption wil be helpful for etiological research. OBJECTIVE:To explore the relationship between kidney deficiency physique, interleukin-17 and root resorption during orthodontic treatment in rats. METHODS:Thirty-six Wistar rats were selected and equivalently randomized into two groups, fol owed by modeled into kidney deficiency (kidney deficiency group) or injected with normal saline (control group), respectively. Afterwards, the right maxil ary of each rat served as an orthodontic force model, and the left maxil ary as a non-orthodontic force model. Al rats were respectively sacrificed under general anesthesia at the 3, 7 and 14 days after given orthodontic force. Then, the mesial surface of the root of maxil ary first molars and the expression level of interleukin-17 were observed through hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Histological observation showed that significantly increasing root resorption in a time-dependent manner could be observed, and there were various absorbed lacunae of osteoclasts on the enamel in the kidney deficiency orthodontic force group. The alveolar bone resorption and widened periodontal membrane appeared in the control orthodontic force group. While no remarkable root and alveolar bone resorptions were found in the other two non-orthodontic force groups. The expression level of interleukin-17 in the kidney deficiency orthodontic force group was higher than that in the control orthodontic force group;the expression level of interleukin-17 in the kidney deficiency non-orthodontic force group was higher than that in the control non-orthodontic force group. In conclusion, kidney deficiency patients are easy to develop root resorption, the mechanism of which is maybe relevant to the upregulation of interleukin-17.
RESUMO
Objective:To study the effect of IL-24 on the differentiation and function of osteoclasts.Methods:Mature osteoclasts were isolated from long bones of neonate rats.Optimal multiplicity of infection(MOI)of AdCMV-EGFP was determined.Then osteo-clasts and RAW264.7 cells were transfected with AdCMV-EGFP and AdCMV-IL-24 respectively.The function of osteoblasts was studied by the observation of bone resorption lacunae,the differentiation of RAW264.7 cells was evaluated by the expression of osteo-clast related genes examined with real-time PCR.Results:Osteoclasts were TRAP positive with more than 2 neclei.MOI=400 was suitable for AdCMV-EGFP transfection.The resorption lacunae area in AdCMV-IL24 transfected cells was larger than that in AdCMV-EGFP transfected cells(P<0.05).Real-time PCR showed that under induced conditions,osteoclastic related genes NFATc1,CTSK and TRAP were changed in RAW264.7 cells transfected with AdCMV-IL-24.Conclusion:IL-24 may promote the differentiation and function of osteoclasts.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the treatment effect of later course accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy with chemotherapy for stage Ⅲ and ⅣA nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods 116 patients with stage Ⅲand Ⅳ s nasopharyngeat carcinoma were randomly divided into three groups: the conventional fractionation radiotherapy(CFR, 38 cases), the concurrent radiochemotherapy group(CCRT, 39 cases) and the later course accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy group (LCAF+CT, 39cases). CFR group was treated with 60Co γ rays and X rays. When the patients had received the dose of 36～38 Gy through composite faciocervical fields, changed into preauricular fields, the total dose was 70 ～75 Gy.And the total dose of cervical metastasis lymph nodes were 70～80 Gy. CCRT group was treated with DDP and 5-Fu. LCAF+CT group was treated with accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy. When the dose of composite faciocervical fields had reached 36～38 Gy, changed the fields and treated with accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy, 1.3 Gy/fraction, twice daily. The total dose was 69.8～75 Gy. And the chemotherapy drugs was similar to CCRT group. Results The positive response rate among LCAF+CT, CCRT and CFR groups were 94.9 %, 89.7 %, 76.3 % respectively. The complete response rate in the nasopharyn of LCAF+CT group was higher than CFR group(P ＜0.05). The local control rates of one, two and three year of three groups were 100 %, 97.4 %, 89.5 %, 94.9 %, 84.6 %, 68.4 % and 89.7 %, 74.4 %, 57.9 %respectively; and the survival rates of one, two and three year of three groups were 100 %, 92.3 %, 84.2 %;89.7 %, 84.6 %, 71.0 % and 79.5%, 76.9 %, 57.9 % respectively. There were obvious difference between LCAF+CT and CCRT groups in local control rate and survival rate. But there were no difference between LCAF+CT group and CCRTgroup, and also between CCRT group and CFR group. Conclusion The later course accelerated hyperfraetionated radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy can promote disappearance of primary lesion and improve the local control rate and survival rate of patients with stage Ⅲand ⅣA nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
