MicroRNA-22 Promoted Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells by Targeting HDAC6.

Stem cells transplantation is a promising therapy strategy for accelerating periodontal regeneration and reconstruction. Genetic modification could induce stem cells directional differentiation to facilitate recovery of physiological functions. In this study, we investigated the role and mechanism of miR-22 on human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs).

[Surgical management of complicated orbital fractures: experiences with 89 orbital corrections and reconstructions].

Objective: To summarize the experiences in the treatment of complicated orbital fractures.

Methods: A total of 89 patients with complicated orbital fractures treated in Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, China Medical University from January 2005 to January 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. The classification of these cases included naso-orbital-ethmoid fracture, frontal orbital fracture and orbitozygomatic fracture.
