ADCY6 is a potential prognostic biomarker and suppresses OTSCC progression via Hippo signaling pathway.

Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) is a malignant tumor. Recently, studies have found that adenylate cyclase 6 (ADCY6) plays a pivotal role in many lethal tumors formation processes. The role of ADCY6 in OTSCC remains unknown.

Impact of Hyperbaric Oxygen on the Healing of Teeth Extraction Sockets and Alveolar Ridge Preservation.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) in the healing of teeth extraction sockets and in alveolar ridge preservation. This may provide an experimental basis for the widespread application of HBO in oral implantation.

Methods: A total of 32 beagle dogs were included in the study and randomly divided equally between an HBO group treated with hyperbaric oxygen (100% O, 2.

Impact of Hyperbaric Oxygen on Tissue Healing around Dental Implants in Beagles.

BACKGROUND The impact of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the healing of soft tissues around dental implants was studied in a beagle model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Beagle dogs were randomized to receive implants, followed by postoperative HBO therapy or not (n=10 per group). On postoperative days 3, 7, and 14, tissue specimens were paraffin-embedded and analyzed by hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining, as well as immunohistochemistry against CD31.

Multilayered pore-closed PLGA microsphere delivering OGP and BMP-2 in sequential release patterns for the facilitation of BMSCs osteogenic differentiation.

Bone tissue regeneration may be more effectively administrated by controlled release of multiple biofactors, given that bone healing comprises a cascade of biological events controlled by numerous cytokines and growth factors (GFs). Here, we propose a novel microcarrier with the capability to sequentially deliver dual biofactors for better controlling the bone regeneration process. First, osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) was incorporated in porous poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) microspheres by a simple solution dipping method and subsequent pore-closing treatment.

Development and characterization of a mouse floxed Bmp2 osteoblast cell line that retains osteoblast genotype and phenotype.

Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (Bmp2) is essential for osteoblast differentiation and osteogenesis. Generation of floxed Bmp2 osteoblast cell lines is a valuable tool for studying the effects of Bmp2 on osteoblast differentiation and its signaling pathways during skeletal metabolism. Due to relatively limited sources of primary osteoblasts, we have developed cell lines that serve as good surrogate models for the study of osteoblast cell differentiation and bone mineralization.

Immortalized mouse floxed Bmp2 dental papilla mesenchymal cell lines preserve odontoblastic phenotype and respond to BMP2.

Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (Bmp2) is essential for odontogensis and dentin mineralization. Generation of floxed Bmp2 dental mesenchymal cell lines is a valuable application for studying the effects of Bmp2 on dental mesenchymal cell differentiation and its signaling pathways during dentinogenesis. Limitation of the primary culture of dental mesenchymal cells has led to the development of cell lines that serve as good surrogate models for the study of dental mesenchymal cell differentiation into odontoblasts and mineralization.

[Clinical study on the abutment periodontal condition with extracoronal attachment denture].

Objective: To evaluate the abutment periodontium condition after restored with the distal-extension extracoronal attachment dentures.

Methods: 20 mandibular distal-extension cases were followed up, to measure the gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PLI) of the distant-abutments before restored with attachment dentures and after restored for one month, six months and one year; to compare the length of distant alveolar bone before restored with that after restored one year by taking digital stomatology tomogram photos.

Results: There were not significantly different in the PLI of distant-abutment between before repaired and after repaired one month, six months, one year (P > 0.
