Purpose: To study the changes of expression of dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), bone sialoprotein (BSP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in rat dental pulp cells, which were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Methods: Rat dental pulp cells were cultured by the method of tissue block in vitro and identified. The cells were treated with Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g) LPS at concentrations of 0.1, 1, 10, 100 and 10000 ng/mL. The effects of treatment were respectively examined by the expression of DSPP, BSP and ALP in rat dental pulp cells with real time PCR (RT-PCR) after 1, 3, 5 days of culture. The data was statistically analyzed with SPSS17.0 software package.

Results: Under phase contrast microscopy, the adherent cells were found to be primarily typical fibroblasts, and part of the polygonal cells with protuberant cytoplasm. RT-PCR showed that rat dental pulp cells expressed higher mRNA of BSP, DSPP and ALP at concentrations of 1 ng/mL and 10 ng/mL, whereas the expression of BSP, DSPP and ALP mRNA were lower at concentrations of 100 ng/mL and 10000 ng/mL. After 1, 3, 5 days treatment, the expression of BSP, DSPP and ALP gradually reduced in the cells treated with 1, 10, 100 and 10000 ng/mL LPS; while they had no significant change at the concentration of 0.1 ng/mL LPS.

Conclusions: Lower concentration of P.g LPS promotes the expression of ALP, BSP and DSPP in rat dental pulp cells, but larger concentration has inhibitory effect. With the increase of incubation time, the promoting effect decreases gradually, while the inhibition effect increases gradually.

Objectives: Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/collagen (Col) cylinders with laminated collagen layers were implanted into the tibial diaphysis of rats and examined histochemically to clarify how the orientation of HAp and Col bone-like nanocomposite fibers in HAp/Col blocks affects bone resorption and formation.

Methods: HAp/Col fibers were synthesized and compressed into cylindrical blocks to mimic bone nanostructures. These were implanted into the cortical bone cavities of 10-week-old male Wistar rats with fiber bundles parallel to the tibial surface.

In dental implant surgery, infection is identified as the primary factor contributing to the failure of bone grafts. There is an urgent need to develop bone graft materials possessing antibacterial characteristics to facilitate bone regeneration. Magnesium phosphate bone cement (MPC) is highly desirable for bone regeneration due to its favorable biocompatibility, plasticity, and osteogenic capabilities.

Background There are many reports of anatomical and physiological studies on trigeminal ganglion neurons, but few studies have analyzed temporal changes in the excitation of the trigeminal ganglion. This study aimed to establish an experimental system for spatial and temporal imaging analysis of the excitatory dynamics of trigeminal ganglion cells evoked by stimulation of a peripheral branch of the trigeminal nerve. Methods After excision of the trigeminal ganglion with the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) from Sprague Dawley rats (seven to nine weeks old), 400-µm-thick slices of the trigeminal ganglion with the IAN were prepared.
