The prevalence of malocclusion and oral health-related quality of life among 12- and 15-year-old schoolchildren in Shanghai, China: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Malocclusion is one of the three major oral diseases and may cause deterioration in oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). This study aims to determine the prevalence of malocclusion by gender and its impact on quality of life among 12- and 15-year-old children in Shanghai.

Methods: This study summarizes the data obtained in the Shanghai Oral Health Epidemiological Survey conducted in 2019.

In-depth proteomics and Phosphoproteomics reveal biomarkers and molecular pathways of chronic intermittent hypoxia in mice.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is characterized by Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia (CIH). In this study, we employed Data-independent acquisition (DIA) Mass Spectrometry to conduct comprehensive proteomic and phosphoproteomic profiling of a murine model subjected to Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia (CIH), a model we had previously established. Utilizing three CIH and three normal control genioglossus samples, we gathered valuable insights into the molecular alterations associated with CIH.

Comparison of Osteogenic Potentials of Dental Pulp and Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Using the New Cell Transplantation Platform, CellSaic, in a Rat Congenital Cleft-Jaw Model.

Scaffolds stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation and play major roles in providing growth and nutrition factors in the repair of bone defects. We used the recombinant peptide Cellnest™ to prepare the three-dimensional stem cell complex, CellSaic, and evaluated whether CellSaic containing rat dental pulp stem cells (rDPSCs) was better than that containing rat bone marrow stem cells (rBMSCs). rDPSC-CellSaic or rBMSC-CellSaic, cultured with or without osteogenic induction medium, formed the experimental and control groups, respectively.
