Background: The ossification mechanism of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) condyle remains unclear in human embryo. The size and structure of TMJ, shape of articular disc and the characteristics of omnivorous chewing in the pig are similar to those of humans. The pig is an ideal animal for studying the mechanism of ossification of the TMJ condyle during the embryonic period.
Method: In a previous study by our group, it was found that there was no condylar ossification on embryonic day(E) 45, but the ossification of condyle occurred between E75 and E90. In this study, a total of 12 miniature pig embryos on E45 and E85 were used. Six embryos were used for tissue sections (3 in each group). The remaining six embryos were used for transcriptomic and proteomic studies to find differential genes and proteins. The differentially expressed genes in transcriptome and proteomic analysis were verified by QPCR.
Results: In total, 1592 differential genes comprising 1086 up-regulated genes and 506 down-regulated genes were screened for fold changes of ≥2 to ≤0.5 between E45 and E85. In the total of 4613 proteins detected by proteomic analysis, there were 419 differential proteins including 313 up-regulated proteins and 106 down-regulated proteins screened for fold changes of ≥2 to ≤0.5 between E45 and E85. A total of 36 differential genes differing in both transcriptome and proteome analysis were found. QPCR analysis showed that 14 of 15 selected genes were consistent with transcriptome analysis.
Conclusion: Condylar transcriptome and proteomic analysis during the development of TMJ in miniature pigs revealed the regulatory genes/proteins of condylar ossification.

To investigate the effects of artificial light at night on the growth of mandibles in mice and its regulatory mechanisms. A mouse model of artificial light at night (night light pollution group) and normal lighting (normal light group) was established by controlling light exposure time, with 4 mice in each group. Micro-CT was employed to analyze the differences in bone quantities of the mandibles between the two groups.

Bioreactor can provide a dynamic culture environment for the in vitro construction of osteochondral tissue engineering. They facilitate more efficient exchange of nutrients and provide mechanical and other beneficial stimulation. Previous findings demonstrated that rotary flask (RF) bioreactor, rotary cell culture system (RCCS), or electromagnetic field (EMF) mediated scaffold culture could create a favorable dynamic environment for osteochondral tissue engineering.

Background: Mandibular growth following distraction osteogenesis (DO) in patients with craniofacial microsomia (CFM) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate both the short- and long-term effects of DO on mandibular growth in children with Pruzansky-Kaban type IIA CFM based on skeletal units.
Materials And Methods: We collected computed tomography data from 15 children with CFM preoperatively(T0), immediately after distractor removal(T1), and 4-6 years after distractor removal(T2).
Less-Invasive Technique for Non-stabilized Mandibular Fracture in Mouse Models.

Non-stabilized fractures can be made at mandibular sites in mice, thus making it possible to analyze bone repair using an endochondral ossification mode. To most accurately reflect this process in vivo, it is necessary to have a standardized protocol to avoid excessive bone loss and soft tissue damage, particularly at the mandibular site, an anatomical site characterized by minimal access. To our knowledge, we describe for the first time a less-invasive protocol of non-stabilized mandibular fracture in mice.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the natural growth patterns of the mandible in children with unilateral type IIA craniofacial microsomia (CFM) by analyzing CT data from 8 unoperated children over 2 to 6 years.
- - Results indicate that the affected side of the mandible exhibits smaller condylar, coronoid, and body units compared to the unaffected side, with notably slower growth in the condylar unit.
- - The findings suggest that the condyle unit is central to the deformity in type IIA CFM and that the affected side's hemi-mandible undergoes backward rotation during growth, complicating spatial relationships; further research with larger samples is needed.
