RESUMO
Objective @# To compare the tooth drift differences between different types of patients after orthodontic extraction for 1.5 months (45 days) without return to the clinic on time for some reasons.@*Methods@#This study has been reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee, and informed consent has been obtained from patients. A total of 84 patients had bilateral premolars extracted but were not bonded the bracket for some reasons. The upper and lower jaw dental models were cast, scanned, and reconstructed in 3D. Patients were divided into 12 groups based on extraction positions (first premolar or second premolar), jaw types (maxilla or mandible) and vertical facial types (average angle, high angle, or low angle). Multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze the changes in the following five indicators in different types of patients who were interrupted for 1.5 months after extraction: anterior tooth crowding, width between canines, width between first molars, tooth extraction space, and overbite of anterior teeth. @*Results @#The tooth extraction position, jaw type and vertical facial type had an effect on the reduction in tooth extraction space and anterior tooth crowding before and after the sudden emergent state (1.5 months after tooth extraction) (P<0.001), and the tooth extraction position and vertical facial type had an effect on the increase in anterior tooth overbite (P<0.001). The drift of bilateral adjacent teeth was greater in patients with first premolars extracted than in those with second premolars extracted (P<0.001), and the drift of bilateral adjacent teeth in the maxilla was larger than that of the mandible (P<0.001). The drift of bilateral adjacent teeth in patients with high angles was more obvious than that of patients with average angles and low angles (P<0.001). @* Conclusion@# For orthodontic patients who have maxillary tooth extraction, first premolar extraction, and even high angles in the vertical facial type, the bilateral adjacent teeth are easier to drift, orthodontic treatment should be carried out soon after extraction, and attention should be given to anchorage control.
RESUMO
Objective @# The purpose of this study was to clarify the regulatory effect and mechanism of Src homology-2 domain containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP2) on human periodontal ligament stem cell (hPDLSC) proliferation and osteogenic differentiation under inflammatory environment and to provide a new target for the treatment of periodontitis. @*Methods@#SHP2 was knocked down in hPDLSCs, and the transfection efficiency of SHP2 was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. An in vitro inflammatory environment was created using tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). The effect of SHP2 knockdown on hPDLSC viability under normal and inflammatory conditions was detected by CCK-8, and the osteogenic capacity of hPDLSCs under normal and inflammatory conditions was detected by ALP staining, ALP activity, ARS staining, RT-qPCR and Western blot. The mechanism by which SHP2 knockdown affected the MAPK pathway and its downstream NF-κB pathway under inflammatory conditions was assessed by Western blot. @*Results@# Green fluorescence was observed after transfection for 72 h, and the titer of SHP2 shRNA recombinant lentivirus was 2.9×108 TU/mL. SHP2 expression was significantly downregulated in lentivirus-transfected cells, as demonstrated by Western blot and RT-qPCR (P<0.001). SHP2 knockdown inhibited hPDLSC proliferation to a certain extent and increased the expression of early osteogenic markers under normal conditions, including increased ALP activity and increased ALP and COL-1 expression (P<0.05). However, SHP2 knockdown exerted no effect on mineralized nodule formation. In the TNF-α- and IL-1β-induced inflammatory environment, SHP2 knockdown exerted no effect on hPDLSC proliferation (P>0.05). Osteogenic markers were upregulated (P<0.05), and mineralized nodules were significantly increased (P<0.05) after SHP2 knockdown. Western blot analysis showed that p65 phosphorylation and IκB-α degradation were reduced in SHP2-knockdown hPDLSCs in the inflammatory environment. Moreover, SHP2 knockdown significantly inhibited the expression of p-p38 and p-JNK MAPK, which represent pathways upstream of the NF-κB pathway (P<0.05). @*Conclusion @# SHP2 knockdown did not affect cell viability but promoted the osteogenic potential of hPDLSCs by inhibiting the MAPK/NF-κB-mediated signaling pathway under inflammatory environment.
