METHODS: Four primary OMM specimens were implanted into immune-deficient nude mice subcutaneously, the mice were evaluated for tumor growth, stable xenograft tumor models and were passaged. Histopathological characteristics were observed by H-E staining. OMM-associated clinical markers (HMB-45, Melan-A, S-100 and Ki-67) were detected by immunohistochemistrical staining. RESULTS: OMM samples from 4 patients were implanted subcutaneously and passaged for expansion successfully. Histopathologically and immunohistochemistrically, PDX models showed similar morphology and HMB-45, Melan-A, S-100 and Ki-67 protein expression to the primary tumor. CONCLUSIONS: Four xenograft models were successfully established, in which the histopathological and molecular features of the primary tumors are preserved through passaging, which provid promising preclinical models for translational research of OMM.

METHODS: Forty New Zealand white rabbits from the same offspring were used to make wound healing model in cleft lip Millard's procedure. The volumes were measured respectively and granulation tissues were observed visually at 2nd week, 3rd week, 4th week and 5th week after operation. The rabbits were sacrificed and scar tissues were harvested in the indicated time. Immunohistochemical paraffin section (IHC-P), myofibroblast (MFB) cell count and Western blot were performed to detect the expression level of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in the scar tissue. SPSS 18.0 software package was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The results showed that the scar contraction was significant at 3rd and 4th week, comparing to 2nd and 5th week after surgery. The degree of scar hyperplasia after surgery was approximately in normal distribution. CONCLUSIONS: MFBs were important cells in scar formation and α-SMA was an important marker of MFBs. The study provides an objective basis for determination of scar severity by measuring the protein expression of α-SMA. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Exploration of a pathway for sinus augmentation in Beagle dogs LIN Hai-yan, WANG Ren-fei, YU Yan-chun, DENG Li-quan, ZHANG Wei-dan, LIN Zheng-yu 2017, 15 (6):  498-502.  doi: 10.19438/j.cjoms.2017.06.004 Abstract ( 628 )   PDF (3804KB) ( 329 )   PURPOSE: To establish a Beagle model, which was used to explore a new surgical pathway of sinus augmentation and analyze the effect of implantation of artificial bone substitutes. METHODS: Eleven male Beagle dogs (17 months, weighing 12-14 kg) were chosen with 22 maxillary sinus. Bilateral cone-beam CT (CBCT)scans were taken under intravenous anesthesia, to locate the range of the maxillary sinus, analyze the anatomical structure of the maxillary sinus wall, so as to make a plan of teeth extraction and measure the height and anteroposterior diameter of the sinus. A second CBCT scan was performed 2 months after extraction, to measure the height and the anteroposterior diameter of the bilateral maxillary sinus, in order to determine the volume of the artificial bone substitute, measure the distance from the bottom of the sinus to the crest(hereinafter referred to as the distance from B to C), and analyze the pathway. Fenestration of the maxillary sinus wall was conducted under general anesthesia and tracheal intubation, and the subjects were divided into 3 groups by implanting 3 kinds of artificial bone substitutes as designed (BioCap coating group, BioCap group and Bio-Oss group). The animals were sacrificed after taking the third CBCT scan 3 months after operation to test the bilateral maxillary sinus and sampled for analysis. The differences were analyzed with SPSS 19.0 software package for LSD test. RESULTS: It was found that the presence rate of thick infraorbital nerve bundles outside the maxillary sinus on CBCT was 100%. The maxillary sinus was located above the maxillary canine and the mesial root of third molar. The height of sinus was (8.10±1.05) mm, the anteroposterior diameter was (20.87±1.51)mm before teeth extraction. The height was (8.15±1.01)mm, the anteroposterior diameter was (20.89±1.21)mm, the distance from B to C in the middle of the sinus was (4.16±0.85)mm 2 months after teeth extraction. 1.2 mL artificial bone substitute were implanted into each sinus. The anteroposterior diameter was (20.86±1.27) mm, the distance from B to C in the middle of the sinus was (7.16±0.76)mm, the osteogenesis percentage was 85.15%±6.76% in BioCap coating group, 35.14%±6.13% in BioCap group, and 33.16%±6.75% in Bio-Oss group, 3 months after windowing. Statistical analysis showed that the distance from B to C after surgery was significantly higher than that before surgery (P<0.01). Osteogenic percentage in BioCap coating group was significantly higher than that in BioCap group and Bio-Oss group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference between BioCap group and Bio-Oss group (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: There was a large infraorbital nerve vascular bundle outside the maxillary sinus of Beagle dog which needed to open two layers of bone window to get into the sinus. Implanting artificial bone substitutes by opening a window outside the maxillary sinus of Beagle dogs could significantly increase the distance from the bottom to the crest, and could be used as animal models for maxillary sinus surgery.

MRI evaluation of disc status changes of anterior displacement with reduction and without reduction HU Ying-kai, YANG Chi, CAI Xie-yi, XIE Qian-yang 2017, 15 (6):  508-514.  doi: 10.19438/j.cjoms.2017.06.006 Abstract ( 919 )   PDF (5276KB) ( 665 )   PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to evaluate disc status changes of anterior disc displacement with reduction (ADDWR) and without reduction (ADDWoR),in order to get a better understanding of the disease progress without intervention. METHODS: This longitudinal retrospective study included 217 joints in 165 patients, which were divided into ADDWR group and ADDWoR group based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The joints were assessed quantitatively for disc length and displacement distance at initial and follow-up visits. Disc morphology, which was classified into 5 types, as well as Wilkes stages were also evaluated. Paired t test and Wilcoxon signed rank test were used to assess intra-group differences and independent t test for inter-group differences using SPSS 17.0 software package. RESULTS: There were 86 joints in ADDWR group and 131 joints in ADDwoR group. The follow-up interval was 9.38 months in ADDWR group, compared to 8.54 months in ADDWoR group. Discs tended to become shorter, move further forward and distort more seriously in ADDWoR group than in ADDWR group during follow-up period. Type I disc morphology dominated in ADDwR group both at first and follow-up visits, demonstrating great value of disc repositioning. However, major disc morphology changed from type II to type IV in ADDWoR group, indicating decrease of the value of disc repositioning. CONCLUSIONS: Discs tended to become shorter, move further forward and distort more seriously, especially in ADDWoR group, which reminds TMJ surgeons to perform disc repositioning surgery as soon for ADDWoR patients with risk factors, instead of nonsurgical surgery for 6 months that may lead to serious deterioration in disc status.

METHODS: Twenty-six adults patients were selected as the experimental group, cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans were conducted. InVivo 5 software was used to transform CBCT into cephalogram from CBCT(CCB) which were imported into the software named Geometer's Sketchpad. All points were measured in the system of rectangular coordinates and were used for statistical analysis SPSS17.0 software package. RESULTS: There was a linear relationship between soft and hard tissue. The correlation in mandible was stronger than that in maxilla, Sn:A=0.18:1, UL:Ui=0.31:1, LL:Li=0.80:1,Si:B=0.84:1,Pg':Pg=0.90:1. There was no correlation between the thickness of nasal floor and the changes of the soft and hard tissue. The same was the thickness of chin. There was negative correlation in the thickness of lip with the soft and hard tissue changes. The upper lip became thinner, the lower lip became thicker. CONCLUSIONS: There was a linear correlation between the hard tissue and the soft tissue. The correlation and ratio of mandible was stronger than maxilla. Changes of hard tissue had major effects on the soft tissue of nasal floor and chin, but minor effects on lip. There was better mobility in thinner upper lip than thicker lip.

METHODS: Ten resected condyles were obtained from patients with TMJ replacement due to TMJ osteoarthrosis. Traditional and modified anchoring nails with 3-0 anchoring lines, modified anchoring nail with 2-0 anchor line were implanted respectively in the cortical bone of the inferior border of mandibular condyle. Each group contained 20 nails and was tested by tensile tester to observe the cortical bone damage, anchor nail breakage or loosening and line fracture. The data were analyzed with SPSS17.0 software package. RESULTS: During the two kinds of medical anchoring nail implantation and tensile test, bone cortex damage, anchoring nail fracture and loosening did not occur, except line fracture. Maximum tensile force of traditional nails with 3-0 anchoring lines, modified anchoring nails with 3-0 anchoring lines and modified anchoring nails with 2-0 anchoring lines was (27.53±5.47) N, (25.89±2.64) N and >50 N, respectively. There was significant difference between traditional and modified anchoring nail with 3-0 anchoring line (P<0.05), there was also significant difference between traditional anchoring nail with 3-0 anchoring line and modified anchoring nail with 2-0 anchoring line. CONCLUSIONS: Both conventional and modified medical anchoring nails can be successfully implanted into the condylar neck without nail fractures and damaging the condylar neck cortical bone. The modified anchoring nails are more competent in adapting the condyle anatomical shape, and proven to be safer and more comfortable. Furthermore, the 2-0 anchored line can withhold a higher pull force than the conventional anchoring nails. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Analysis on pathogenic microorganism and drug-resistance of severe oral and maxillofacial infections in ICU WANG Hai-yun, ZHOU Long-nv, ZHU Hong 2017, 15 (6):  538-542.  doi: 10.19438/j.cjoms.2017.06.012 Abstract ( 367 )   PDF (3954KB) ( 283 )   PURPOSE： To investigate the pathogenic distribution and drug resistance characteristics of severe oral and maxillofacial infections in ICU, and to provide evidence for clinical rational use of antibiotics. METHODS: Eight-nine patients with severe oral and maxillofacial infections in ICU were chosen from January, 2010 to December, 2016. The strains from each patient were cultured and identified respectively. Each stain was used to test drug susceptibility. RESULTS: One hundred and thirty strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated from 89 patients , including 66 strains of gram-negative bacteria,accounting for 50.77%; 59 strains of gram-positive bacteria, accounting for 45.38%; 5 strains of fungi,accounting for 3.85%. Drug susceptibility test showed that the Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli were susceptible to imipenem, sulbactam and cefoperazone and tazobactam sodium. Prevotella was susceptible to metronidazole imipenem and sulbactam and cefoperazone. Staphylococcus aureus, Viridans Streptococci and Enterococcus were susceptible to linezolid and vancomycin. Most pathogens were resistant to many antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS: Severe oral and maxillofacial infections in ICU were mainly caused by gram-negative bacteria. Most pathogenic bacteria are resistant to many antibiotics, which suggests that more reasonable use of drug should be performed to prevent drug resistance in clinical treatment.

METHODS: From November 2012 to June 2016, eleven patients with oral tuberculosis were treated. The patients' general condition, clinical symptoms and signs, imaging modalities, pathological files, treatment and prognosis were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: Among 11 patients, there were 6 males and 5 females with a mean age of 59.1 years, ranging from 48 to 78 years old. Five patients presented ulceration (four in gingiva and one in buccal region), four patients presented mass (one in gingival and three in buccal region), one patient presented osteomyelitis; only one patient presented enlargement of cervical lymph nodes. Five patients' chest radiography showed sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis. Two of ten patients received drug therapy after surgical biopsy, and eight patients received surgical resection of mass in the oral cavity. After being diagnosed as oral tuberculosis by pathological examination, six patients received purified protein derivative examination, and four of them received drug therapy against tuberculosis. The mean follow-up period was 24.9 months ranging from 8 to 48 months, with one patient loss to follow-up, no lesion recurrence was found during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: Oral tuberculosis is rare, with no specific clinical appearance. Pathology and other examinations are necessary for diagnosis of oral tuberculosis. The treatment of oral tuberculosis is suggested as surgical resection or surgical resection combined with drug therapy against tuberculosis. The prognosis of oral tuberculosis is fine.
