    Objective Our aim was to study the oral health behaviour and dietary habits of undergraduates on campus. In order to provide original data for improving oral health education and putting forward an optimized educational pattern. Methods Stratified sampling was used to pick up 1 500 undergraduates from Sichuan University. Participants were investigated by using questionaires on oral health behaviour and dietary habits. Results Most students brushed tooth for keeping tone fresh. The frequency and amount of sugary food intake was mostly once or twice a week and 100~400 g perspectively. Girls ate sugary food in significant higher frequency while boys drank more beverage both in frequency and amount. The majority of students did nothing after taking sugary food and they also failed to pay dental visits when the tooth appearances had changed or toothache had occurred. Unless the hurt feeling had overpassed their tolerance would they consult dentists. Conclusion Most undergraduates lack oral health behavior. Frequency and amount of taking sugary food were in high level while dental visit inclination was low.

    Objective To summarize all the related reports to explore causes of the misdiagnoses of other diseases as temporomandibular disorder(TMD) and develop strategies in reducing the misdiagnosis, and to assess appropriateness of using“systematic review” in replace of“review” for this kind of literatures. Methods Medline (via OVID), EMBASE, Chinese BioMedical Literature Database(CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals(VIP) were searched electronically till December, 2011 for identifying the case reports, case series or “systematic reviews” of misdiagnoses of other diseases as TMD. The eligible studies were selected and extracted by two independent reviewers. All the data were summarized to show distributions of other diseases and classifications of the possible causes of the misdiagnoses. For second aim of the study, some so-called systematic reviews on misdiagnosis in which only case reports or case series being included were also collected, to explore appropriateness of the term “systematic review” for such literatures. Results A total of 21 case r eports or case series involving 57 patients met the inclusive criteria, of which 10 being in Chinese and 11 in English. The 57 patients being misdiagnosed as TMD were suffering from 20 sorts of diseases, such as pericoronitis of the maxillary third molar(43.86%), nasopharyngeal carcinoma(15.79%), different kinds of tumors(15.97%) in the orofacial region, etc.. Suspected causes of the misdiagnoses could be classified into 7 categories, such as similar clinical manifestations(33.96%), confused chief complaints (26.43%), insufficient understanding of the clinicians(22.64%), etc.. Thirty five articles naming as systematic review in which case reports or case series on misdiagnoses being included were found through intensive searching, 8 in English and 27 in Chinese. They were narrative reviews in light of congeries of same facts without appraising quality of methodology or validity of the case reports or case series.“Review” should be appropriate term for such literatures and it is no need to use a modern term “systematic review” instead. The later term did not raise any new value to the term“review”. Conclusion The misdiagnoses of other diseases as TMD were mainly caused by similarities in symptoms and clinical signs of the diseases with TMD, and insufficient understandings of the clinicians. It is better to use“review” instead of“systematic review” to describe same type of the literatures.

    Help T cells(Th)-17 cells are identified as a new subset of CD4 positive T cells unrelated to Th1 or Th-2 cells, and several cytokines are involved in regulating their activation and differentiation. Th-17 cells not only play an important role in host defense against extracellular pathogens, but also are associated with the development of autoimmunity and inflammatory response. Although the pathological mechanisms of periapaical lesions are not fully understood, accumulating evidence suggests that the abnormality of innate and adaptive immunity responses play an important role in periapical lesions inflammation. The identification of Th-17 cells can explain some of the anomalies seen in the Th-1, Th-2 axis and the immunopathogenesis of Th-17 cells in development of the periapical lesions. Periapical lesions, which form as a result of a root canal infection, are characterized by a host response to continuous antigenic stimulation in the infected canals and periapical bone destruction. Its pathological mechanisms are closely related to local inflammatory and immunity of periapical tissue. This review will introduce the Th-17 cells, the differentiation and fanctions of Th-17 cells in addition to the relationships between Th-17 cells and periapical lesions..

    Gummy smile always consitutes an unesthetic smile characterized by excessive exhibition of the gums during a full smile. There are several etiologies for gummy smile, and the most commonly overlooked etiology is altered passive eruption(APE). APE is a clinical situation produced by excessive gum overlapping over the enamel limits, resulting in a short clinical crown appearance, which is due to failure in concluding the passive eruption phase. APE can be corrected by periodontal surgery. However, it is essential to establish a differential diagnosis for achieving an esthetic, biological and stable result that satisfies both clinician and patient.
