RESUMO
@#Microorganisms are closely related to the occurrence and development of common oral diseases. Due to the unique physiological and anatomical characteristics of the oral cavity, locally introduced antibacterial drugs cannot be maintained in the effective concentration range under the effect of saliva erosion. Therefore, to enhance the retention and bioavailability of antibacterial drugs in biofilms, some scholars designed pH sensitive drug delivery systems with the fact that the pH value of oral biofilm is lower than the physiological pH value. This article reviews the research reports of a pH-sensitive drug delivery system in the oral cavity and elaborates its application in oral diseases such as dental caries, endodontic disease, periapical disease, peri-implant diseases, and oral candidiasis. Literature review Results show that the pH-sensitive drug delivery system loaded with antibacterial drugs could be used for the control of oral microorganisms with excellent pH sensitivity and antibacterial properties, especially in the application of acid-producing bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans for the prevention and treatment of dental caries. However, the research of pH-sensitive drug delivery systems in the oral cavity is still limited to basic research,and in clinical applications, it still faces many challenges, such as a complex design and synthesis, difficulties with lasting effects and eliminating drug-resistance and persistent bacteria. Further optimization of pH sensitive systems, as well as animal experiments and in vivo studies will be the focus of future research.
RESUMO
This study retrospectively reviewed 9 cases of complicated hepatic cystic hydatidosis with intrabiliary rupture who were surgically treated with pericystectomy in combination with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in our hospital from 2004 to 2010.The clinical features,results of laboratory tests,B-mode ultrasonography and CT,post-operative recovery,days of hospital stay after the operation and post-operative complications were statistically analyzed and the patients were followed up.The subjects in our series included 7 males and 2 females,whose average age was 50.78±7.58 years.Before operation,9 patients suffered from pain of the right upper quadrant and jaundice,which,in 4 cases (44.45％),were accompanied with fever and chills.Preoperative B-mode ultrosonography and CT showed that all the 9 patients had single hydatid cyst,with their diameter being 9.33± 1.58 cm on average.The lesions involved segments V,Ⅵ in 6 cases,and segment Ⅵin 3 cases.By WHO classification,7 cases were classified as CE3 and 2 cases as CE4.They all had choledochectasia.The subjects underwent the surgery uneventfully.Intraoperatively,2-4 biliary fistula orifices were found,with the average of the orifice being (0.79±0.20) cm.After the operation,one patient developed incision infection,one had pulmonary infection and one suffered from reflux cholangitis.No anastomotic leaks or peri-operative deaths took place and follow-up revealed no recurrence and implantative metastasis.We are led to conclude that pericystectomy in combination with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy can achieve satisfactory results for the treatment of complicated hepatic cystic hydatidosis with intrabiliary rupture.
