Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the antimicrobial properties of carboxymethyl chitosan zinc (CMCSZ) and its active peptide complex (CMCSZP) against bacteria that cause dental cavities.
  • Researchers used agar dilution and disk diffusion methods to measure the effectiveness of CMCSZ and CMCSZP against various cariogenic bacteria, finding both substances to be effective.
  • Results showed that while both CMCSZ and CMCSZP are stable under light, their antimicrobial activity decreases significantly at higher temperatures, with optimal performance observed in acidic conditions.

We discussed the correlation of TLR2 (Toll-like receptor) and TLR4 expressions in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to Th1- and Th2-type immune responses in children with Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP). The role of TLR2 and TLR4 in the pathogenesis of HSP was analyzed. Sixty-four HSP children treated at our hospital from October 2011 to November 2012 were enrolled and divided into NHSPN group (complicated by renal impairment, 36 cases) and HSPN group (not complicated by renal impairment, 28 cases).

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical value of suction drainage to prevent fistula after parotidectomy, and seek the best opportunity to remove the drainage according to the draining output and duration.

Methods: One hundred and ninety-four patients with parotid diseases after superficial parotidectomy were assigned into pressure dressing group and suction drainage group. Pressure dressing was used after suction drainage tube was removed in the pressure group, while suction drainage tube was fixed through the process in the suction group.

Purpose: To observe the effects of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) on bone formation of tissue engineered bone in dogs.

Methods: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and EPCs were derived from dog bone marrow and cultured in different medium in vitro. They were seeded on demineralized bone matrix (DBM) to build tissue engineered bone, then the construct was implanted into the fasciae of latissimus dorsi muscle, the degree of bone formation was analyzed with imaging and histological methods at different time points.
