    Objective  To investigate the effect of Porphyromonas gingivalisP.gingivalis) fimbrillin(Fim) A on alveolar bone absorption resulting from P.gingivalis challenged periodontitis in mouse. Methods  Mice were orally infected with the wild strains P.gingivalis ATCC33277, P.gingivalis KDP150 without fimA gene. Fifteen male, specific pathogen-free 3-week-old mice were divided into three groups: Control group, group infected with P.gingivalis ATCC33277, and group infected with P.gingivalis KDP150. After twenty two days, all animals were killed. The distance from the alveolar bone crest to the cemento-enamel junction was measured with Image-Pro software. Results  Compared with control group, alveolar bone absorption was higher in the P.gingivalis ATCC33277 group(P<0.05), but no difference was observed between P.gingivalis KDP150 group and control group(P>0.05). P.gingivalis ATCC33277 group was higher than P.gingivalis KDP150 group in alveolar bone absorption(P<0.05). Conclusion  P.gingivalis fimA is a potential virulence factor for alveolar bone absorption in the procedure of periodontitis.

    Objective To investigate the adaptive changes of morphology and cytoskeleton of the dendritic cells (DC) before and after lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced maturation. Methods The murine bone marrow mononuclear cells were induced into immatured dendritic cells(imDC) with granulocyte -macrophage colony -stimulating factor(GM-CSF) and interleukin(IL)-4, after 6 days imDC were further induced into matured DC(mDC) with LPS for 48 hours. These DC morphology was observed under fluorescent microscope and inverted phase contrast microscope(IPCM), and the changes of cytoskeleton between imDC and mDC were compared. Results mDC expressed higher level of CD11c, MHC-Ⅱ, CD86 compared with imDC via flow cytometry. After LPS stimulation, the DC
    became a little bigger. The external dendrites had obvious changes from thin, short(imDC) to thick, long(mDC), finally thin, short again. Filament-actin(F-actin) was mainly focused on cytomembrane and dendrites. The mean
    fluorescence of F-actin in cytomembrane and dendrite was the highest after 24 hours stimulated with LPS, but decreased apparently after 48 hours stimulated with LPS, and this time the F-actin in cytoplasma became sparse and
    fragmentarypartially. Conclusion During the maturation, DC became more and more large with number, length and consistence of surface processes improved gradually, which helps to augment surface of cell and play the important
    role of translation and presentation of antigen. Gradually largened nucleolus suggested that it maybe play a very important role in the translation and presentation of antigen. Within the progress of maturation, cytoskeleton,
    such as F-actin, gave a closed cooperation via gradually increased number.

    Objective The purpose of the present study is to analyze effect of periosteum in angiogenesis of non-vascularied autogenous bone grafts. Methods Thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were subjected to this study. Bilateral radial bones were partially removed as free bone grafts, half of which periostea were intact while rest of which periostea were peeled off. All grafts were implanted in the masseter muscle separately. At 3 days, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 weeks after surgery the rabbits were sacrificed and the specimens were procured for Chinese ink
    perfusion, CD34 immunohistochemistry stain and tetracycline fluore-scence labeling. Microvessel density(MVD) and tetracycline fluorescence labeling intergrated optical density(Di ) were assessed in order to evaluate angiogenesis and rate of new bone formation of autogenous bone grafts. Results At 3 days and 1 week after surgery, MVD and Di of two groups had no significant difference(P>0.05). Revascularization and new bone formation of both groups were found at 2 weeks after surgery. At 2, 3, 4 and 6 weeks after surgery, MVD and Di of test group were significantly higher than those of control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Angiogenesis in non-vascularized autogenous bone graft was promoted when periosteum of graft was intact. Thereby followed osteogenesis was also accelerated.
