The usefulness of two-color flow cytometry with a CD19 gate (CD19-FCM) for detecting clonal B-cells in the bone marrow was evaluated. Since kappa and lambda ratios analyzed in the bone marrow from healthy adults were within the range of 0.5-3.0, outside of this range was regarded as the existence of clonal B-cells. Mixing experiments in vitro showed that 10% or more of clonal B-cells contaminating normal bone marrow cells could be detected using CD19-FCM. Ninety-nine bone marrow samples from 60 patients with B-cell lymphoma were simultaneously analyzed using CD19-FCM and histologic examination of both bone marrow aspiration and core needle biopsy samples. The agreement of results obtained by both examinations was 82% (81/99). Discrepant results were found in 18 samples of 10 patients. All except one sample were positive for CD19-FCM analysis but negative for histologic examination and the conversion of CD19-FCM-positivity to CD19-FCM-negativity was associated with chemotherapy. These results suggest that CD19-FCM is useful for the evaluation of bone marrow involvement of B-cell lymphoma.

Background/purpose: Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), a complication arising from the use of bisphosphonates (BPs), inflicts long-term suffering on patients. Currently, there is still a lack of effective treatments. This study aimed to explore the preventive effects of propranolol (PRO) on BRONJ in vitro and in vivo, given PRO's potential in bone health enhancement.

Background/purpose: studies are essential for understanding cellular responses, but traditional culture systems often neglect the three-dimensional (3D) structure of real implants, leading to limitations in cellular recruitment and behavior largely governed by gravity. The objective of this study was to pioneer a novel 3D dynamic osteoblastic culture system for assessing the biological capabilities of dental implants in a more clinically and physiologically relevant manner.
Materials And Methods: Rat bone marrow-derived osteoblasts were cultured in a 24-well dish with a vertically positioned dental implant.

Background/purpose: Membrane-free stem cell components (MFSCCs) have been developed by removing cell membranes with antigens to overcome the limitations associated with cell-based therapies and isolate effective peptides. MFSCCs have been reported to have effects on oral infection sites. Chronic inflammatory diseases cause excessive bone resorption.

The immune responses following SARS-CoV-2 infection in children are still under investigation. While coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is usually mild in the paediatric population, some children develop severe clinical manifestations or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) after infection. MIS-C, typically emerging 2-6 weeks after SARS-CoV-2 exposure, is characterized by a hyperinflammatory response affecting multiple organs.
