Clinical significance of CD20 expression in oral potentially malignant disorders Liu Yi, Zhou Hao, Fei Wei Inter J Stomatol. 2018, 45 (2):  135-139.  DOI: 10.7518/gjkq.2018.02.003 Abstract ( 1096 )   HTML ( 10 )   PDF（pc） (6999KB) ( 196 )   Save Objective This study aims to investigate the expression of C20 in oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) by using the histological analysis and evaluates the clinical value of using CD20 as indices to assess the carcinogenic potential of OPMDs.Methods Clinical data from 17 cases with oral hyperplasia mucosa, 21 cases with oral lichen planus (OLP), 15 cases with mild oral dysplasia mucosa (D1), and 9 cases with mild moderate dysplasia mucosa (D2) were analyzed by using retrospective analysis. Immunohistochemical analysis was applied to investigate the expression of CD20 in paraffin sections of oral hyperplasia mucosa, OLP, D1, and D2 tissues. Subsequently, the relationships between such expression and clinical factors were investigated.Results Results The positive rates of CD20 expression in the oral hyperplasia mucosa, OLP, D1, and D2 mucosa were 11.76%, 61.90%, 20.00%, and 66.67% (P<0.05), respectively. CD20 expression was found uncorrelated with age, gender, region, alcohol use, and smoking status (P>0.05). The multiple-factor analysis showed that the odds ratios of OLP and D2 significantly increased (P<0.05) when oral hyperplasia mucosa was used as the reference group. Conclusion CD20 may be used individually as clinical index to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of OPMDs. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Establishment of diabetic mouse model with conditional knockout of FoxO1 in osteoblasts Xiong Yi, Gong Ping, Wu Yingying Inter J Stomatol. 2018, 45 (2):  170-176.  DOI: 10.7518/gjkq.2018.02.009 Abstract ( 761 )   HTML ( 7 )   PDF（pc） (1529KB) ( 286 )   Save Objective This study aims to establish a diabetic mouse model with conditional knockout of FoxO1 in osteoblasts and preliminary explore the phenotypes.Methods Wild type (WT) and gene knockout mice were obtained according to the designed reproductive strategy. DNA was extracted from mouse tail and amplified by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The mice phenotypes were also detected. The mRNA and protein levels of FoxO1 in osteoblasts and other tissues were obtained and detected by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Mice weight and fasting blood glucose were measured. Insulin tolerance test (ITT) was conducted to assess the role of FoxO1 in glucose metabolism. Results Diabetic mouse models with conditional knockout of FoxO1 in osteoblasts were successfully established. The body weight of diabetic mice was significantly lower than that of normal mice at 2 weeks. The fasting blood glucose in diabetic gene knockout mice was lower than that in diabetic WT mice. In addition, ITT showed that FoxO1 knockout promoted insulin sensitivity in diabetic gene knockout mice compared with that in diabetic WT mice.Conclusion Diabetic mouse model with conditional knockout of FoxO1 in osteoblasts was successfully established. FoxO1 knockout ameliorated hyperglycaemia, which may be accounted for the increased insulin sensitivity in diabetic gene knockout mice. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Reliability and validity of the velopharyngeal insufficiency effects on life outcomes instrument Huang Hanyao, Wang Mengjiao, Wu Hao, Jiang Liping, Zhang Wenjing, Wei Shan, Yin Heng Inter J Stomatol. 2018, 45 (2):  177-184.  DOI: 10.7518/gjkq.2018.02.010 Abstract ( 1062 )   HTML ( 9 )   PDF（pc） (1251KB) ( 432 )   Save Objective In this study, we aim to translate the original English version of the velopharyngeal insufficiency effects on life outcomes instrument (VELO) into Chinese and test the psychometric properties of VELO among eligible Chinese patients with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI).Methods The original English version of VELO was translated, back-translated, and adapted among different cultures. Based on the standard procedures of the International Quality of Life Assessment (IQoLA) project, VELO was established for self-assessment by patients and assessment by caregivers. The reliability and validity of our translated VELO were assessed in Chinese patients with VPI and their caregivers.Results A total of 366 questionnaires were completed, 211 of whichwere completed by patients and 155 by caregivers. In addition, 362 (98.91%) valid questionnaires were collected, comprising 109 questionnaires from the patients in the experimental group, 99 from the patients in the control group, 66 from the caregivers in the experimental group, and 88 from the caregivers in the control group. The cronbach’s α of VELO for a patient with VPI was 0.937, and that of a caregiver was 0.950. Meanwhile, the Guttman split-half reliability coefficient of a patient with VPI was 0.908, and that of a caregiver was 0.887. After the content was validated, the items had intermediate or high correlation with corresponding domains. The patients with VPI and control patients were effectively discriminated through VELO, indicating that the results reached the IQoLA standard. The same result was obtained in the caregivers.Conclusion The translated Chinese version of VELO has acceptable reliability and validity. These psychometric properties provide theoretical evidence for further use of VELO in Chinese patients with VPI. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Effects of melatonin regulating on growth and development of hard tissues Chen Haoling, Lin Yujing, Zhu Hui, Yang Tingting, Huang Fang Inter J Stomatol. 2018, 45 (2):  185-191.  DOI: 10.7518/gjkq.2018.02.011 Abstract ( 1225 )   HTML ( 6 )   PDF（pc） (1239KB) ( 513 )   Save The function and mechanism of melatonin are current research focus. A number of studies showed that melatonin can promote the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, thereby inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts and inducing the differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts. Melatonin can also inhibit the proliferation of dental papilla cells and promote their differentiation. Melatonin is closely related with teeth and bone diseases. The mechanism may be associated with melatonin receptors and their functional pathways. In this review, we summarise the effects of melatonin on hard tissue and its potential mechanism.

Cytotoxic mechanism of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate Chen Xiuchun, Zhang Zhimin, Hong Lihua, Zhang Yaqi, Zheng Peng, Li Wenyue Inter J Stomatol. 2018, 45 (2):  209-213.  DOI: 10.7518/gjkq.2018.02.015 Abstract ( 648 )   HTML ( 5 )   PDF（pc） (1246KB) ( 125 )   Save Cell toxicity is a pure cell killing event caused by a cell or chemical substances. The chemical substances act on the basic structure of the cell and/or physiological processes, such as cell membrane and cytoskeleton structure, cell metabolism, synthesis of cellular components or products, degradation or release, ion regulation and cell division. Which leads to adverse reactions such as cell survival, proliferation and/or functional disorder. Triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) is a commonly used diluent of many resin-based dental composites. It is an important relevant monomer responsible for the cytotoxicity of the resin matrix. The monomer can lead to a series of toxic reactions, such as oxidative imbalance, apoptosis, DNA damage and so on. In this paper, the research advances in mechanism of cytotoxicity induced by TEGDMA monomer is reviewed, the aim is to lay the foundation for further clarifying the mechanism of toxicity and to reduce or eliminate the toxic effect.
