RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In recent years, the development of tissue engineering has provided a new approach for the treatment of periodontal bone defect. Tissue engineering therapy includes seed cells, scaffolds and growth factors. Platelet gel contains a large number of platelet growth factors, and collagen is often used for the preparation of scaffold materials. Therefore, the platelet gel and collagen biologically active composite membrane can provide scaffolds and growth factors for the defect bone. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of autologous platelet gel-collagen biologically active composite membrane on the repair of periodontal bone defect in rats. METHODS: Forty-two Wistar rats (Shanghai Xipuer-Bikai Experimental Animal Co., Ltd., China) were selected. (1) Collagen was cut into 5 mm×2 mm size, and 10 mL of whole blood was extracted from 6 rats to obtain platelet-rich plasma. Autologous platelet gel-collagen composite membrane was prepared by adding bovine thrombin, calcium chloride and collagen in a certain proportion. Platelets in whole blood and in platelet-rich plasma were detected. The levels of platelet derived growth factor AB, transforming growth factor-β, basic fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor in whole blood and platelet-rich plasma were detected by ELISA. (2) The models of mandibular periosteal defect were established in 36 rats (the size of the bone defect was 5 mm×2 mm, and the root surface cementum was removed) , and randomly divided into two groups. Autologous platelet gel-collagen group placed the autologous platelet gel-collagen composite membrane in the bone defect, and the control group did not place any materials. The hematoxylin-eosin staining of periodontal tissues of rats in each group was analyzed at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after surgery. Rate of new born, new centumum formation, new alveolar bone formation, and new periodontal ligament tissue formation height were measured. The expression of bone morphogenetic protein-2 was detected by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The mean platelet count in platelet-rich plasma was 4.78 times as high as the whole blood, indicating that the number of platelets increased significantly after prepared into platelet-rich plasma (P < 0.05) . The levels of platelet derived growth factor AB, transforming growth factor-β, basic fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor in platelet-rich plasma were 3.10, 3.45, 7.17 and 5.45 times of the whole blood, respectively (P < 0.05) . (2) The results of hematoxylin-eosin staining observed that the rate of new born, new centumum formation, new alveolar bone formation, and new periodontal ligament tissue formation height at 2 weeks in the autologous platelet gel-collagen group showed no significant difference from the control group (P> 0.05) . At 4 and 8 weeks, all above indexes in the autologous platelet gel-collagen group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05) . (3) Results of immunohistochemical staining revealed that at 2 weeks, bone morphogenetic protein-2 in the autologous platelet gel-collagen group began to express, and the expression of bone morphogenetic protein-2 was highest at 4 weeks (P < 0.05) , and the positive expression was weakened at 8 weeks (P> 0.05) . (4) Our results clarify that autologous platelet gel-collagen bioactive composite membrane can significantly promote the regeneration of new tooth, which is associated with the expression of bone morphogenetic protein-2, and reduce the repair time after periodontal tissue defect.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of oral ulcer protective agent in the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) radiotherapy and its effect upon serum inflammatory factors.Methods A total of 90 patients diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma presenting with grade I oral mucositis caused by radiotherapy in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into two groups.In the experimental group,oral ulcer protective agent was given,and Kangfuxin gargle was administered in the control group.The incidence time and degree of radioactive oral mucositis,visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score,serum levels of CRP,TGF-β1,IL-6 and T lymphocyte subsets were statistically compared between two groups by independent-sample t-test.Results At 4 and 6 weeks after corresponding treatment,the incidence of grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ oral mucositis in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P=0.018,0.021,0.027,0.014)).In the experimental group,the incidence of moderate and severe pain assessed by VAS was significantly lower compared with that in the control group (P=0.019,0.025);After corresponding treatment,the CRP levels in both groups were down-regulated and the CRP level in the experimental group was considerably lower than that in the control group (P=0.013).The levels of TGF-β1 and IL-6 in the control group were significantly increased (P=0.015、0.021),whereas dramatically declined in the experimental group (P=0.012,0.019).CD3(+),CD4 (+),CD8(+) and CD4(+)/CD8(+) were remarkably elevated in two groups,and more significant increase was observed in the experimental group (P=0.024,0.036,0.029,0.017).Conclusions Oral ulcer protective agent can effectively inhibit the progression of oral mucosal injury,shorten the healing time and relieve the pain of oral mucosal injury in patients with NPC.,which is worthy of clinical application.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the value of psychological nursing in treatment of children caries.Methods 200 children with caries were divided randomly into the experimental group and the control group with 100 cases in each group.The experimental group was given psychological nursing according to different age groups,while the control group only received routine treatment.The compliance degree of children patients were compared between the two groups. Results The compliance degree of the experimental group was better than the control group. Conclusions Psychological nursing can alleviate intense,anxiety,pain,dread of children patients,enhance medical compliance degree,thus ensure the smooth progress of treatment reduce the treatment time greatly,raise working efficiency in order to achieve high quality service.
