Periodontal bone destruction continues to be a leading cause of tooth loss in periodontitis, underscoring the need for novel regenerative approaches. Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess multipotent differentiation capacity that supports bone repair, existing scaffold systems fail to provide targeted recruitment and sustained osteoinductive signals. To address this, we engineered a bone-targeting hydrogel functionalized with osteogenic growth peptide (OGP)-and bone-targeting YLL3 motifs (OGP-HAMA-YLL3), enabling spatiotemporal control of stem cell homing and osteogenic differentiation. Systematic evaluation via subcutaneous transplantation in Balb/c nude mice revealed that this dual-functional biomaterial significantly enhances ectopic bone formation, as confirmed by histological analyses. In rat alveolar bone defect models, OGP-HAMA-YLL3 significantly increased new bone volume and mineralization density at 8 weeks after implantation. Notably, in a clinically relevant minipig periodontitis model, the hydrogel scaffold achieved higher bone defect regeneration with concomitant reduction of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α) while maintaining favorable biosafety profiles in vital organs. As a cell-free therapeutic platform, OGP-HAMA-YLL3 demonstrates translational potential for functional periodontal reconstruction through biomimetic regulation of endogenous stem cell behavior.

Objective: To investigate the biological function of miR-192-5p in osteogenic and odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells(DPSCs). Methods: Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining and western blot analysis were applied to investigate the osteogenic differentiation potential of DPSCs in vitro. The osteogenic capacity was estimated by subcutaneous transplantation in nude mice in vivo. Carboxyfluorescein diacetate, succinimidyl ester (CFSE) assay was used to examine cell proliferation. Bioinformatics analyses, dual-luciferase reporter assays and real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) were applied to explore the regulatory mechanism of miR-192-5p. Results: miR-192-5p decreased the ALP activity, nodule mineralisation and expression of BSP and OCN in DPSCs, and inhibited cell proliferation. Conversely, the miR-192-5p inhibitor motivated the osteogenic and odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs both in vitro and in vivo, along with promoting cell proliferation. COL5A 1 was recognised as the target gene of miR-192-5p through bioinformatics analysis. Furthermore, dual luciferase reporter assays and RT-PCR experiments confirmed this interaction. Subsequent research verified that COL5A 1 knockdown negatively affects the osteo-/odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs, with the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway involved in this process. COL5A 1 knockdown promoted the proliferation of DPSCs. Conclusion: miR-192-5p suppressed osteo/od onto genic differentiation by targeting COL5A 1 in DPSCs and negatively regulated their proliferation. Conversely, COL5A 1 knockdown promoted proliferation.

Aim or purpose: To provide reference for a more suitable type of bulkfill resin in primary teeth filling. Materials and methods: Nanocomposite resin (group A) and giomer (group B) were used as controls, high-viscosity bulkfill resin (group C) and sonic-activated bulkfill resin (group D) were studied. A total of 140 primary molars from 42 children with occluso-proximal caries were selected. The carious teeth were filled with each group of resins randomly (n=35). The operation time of each tooth was recorded, and compared. The restorations of each group were evaluated by modified USPHS criteria at 6- and 12-months follow-up. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve of each group. Results: The operation time of group A (86.02±1.76)s and B (86.14±1.50)s were significantly longer than group C (58.68±1.40)s and D (59.39±1.82)s (P<0.05), and the operation time were similar in group A and B, and in group C and D (P>0.05). The clinical efficacy of each group at 6- and 12-months follow-up were similar (P>0.05). The 1-year survival rates of group A,B,C and D were 87.5%, 81.3%, 84.4% and 76.7% respectively (P>0.05). Conclusions: High-viscosity and sonic-activated bulkfill resin were similar in clinical efficacy and survival rate to nanocomposite resin and giomer, with shorter operation time, and might be an option for primary teeth filling.

OBJECTIVE:To study clinicopathological features and differential diagnosis of hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma in the head and neck. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed patients with hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma in the head and neck, who underwent surgical resection in Beijing Tongren Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2014 to May 2024. The clinical features of HCCC were analyzed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Tumor sections were further characterized using hematoxylin and eosin staining, immunohistochemistry, and fluorescence in situ hybridization. RESULTS:There were 4 male and 5 female cases in 9 patients. The age range was 28-84 years-old, the middle age was 60 years-old. 9 patients, 5 in the nasopharynx, 2 in the base of the tongue, and 2 in the oropharynx. At the cellular level, the HCCC tumors were composed of transparent and eosinophilic cells (in various ratios), which were typically arranged into nests, cords, and trabeculae, and embedded in a glassy hyaline substance. Immunohistochemical evaluation showed positivity for CK7, P63, P40, CK5/6, and negativity for S100, SMA, GFAP, and calponin. Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed EWSR1 rearrangement in all the nine patients evaluated. CONCLUSIONS:Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma is a rare low-grade salivary gland carcinoma that mostly occurs in the minor salivary glands. They had an indolent disease course, with few metastases. Our study shows that the above combination of analytical techniques can be used to accurately characterize and diagnose HCCC. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:Level 1.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biological regulatory function of Gremlin1 (GREM1) and tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein eta (YWHAH) in dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), and determine the underlying molecular mechanism involved. METHODS:Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, alizarin red staining, scratch migration assays and in vitro and in vivo osteo-/dentinogenic marker detection of bone-like tissue generation in nude mice were used to assess osteo-/dentinogenic differentiation. Coimmunoprecipitation and polypeptide microarray assays were employed to detect the molecular mechanisms involved. RESULTS:The data revealed that knockdown of GREM1 promoted ALP activity, mineralisation in vitro and the expression of osteo-/dentinogenic differentiation markers and enhanced osteo-/ dentinogenesis of DPSCs in vivo. GREM1 bound to YWHAH in DPSCs, and the binding site was also identified. Knockdown of YWHAH suppressed the osteo-/dentinogenesis of DPSCs in vitro, and overexpression of YWHAH promoted the osteo-/dentinogenesis of DPSCs in vitro and in vivo. CONCLUSION:Taken together, the findings highlight the critical roles of GREM1-YWHAH in the osteo-/dentinogenesis of DPSCs.

Objective: To identify the main factors associated with early childhood caries by analyzing the risk factors of early childhood caries, thus providing a reference for developing prevention programs to reduce the risk of early childhood caries.Methods: We selected a total of 221 children aged 3-4 years from two kindergartens in Tongzhou District, Beijing for this study. We conducted oral examination and the caries activity test (Cariostat) on children and their parents / primary caregivers, and the parents / primary caregivers additionally answered a questionnaire survey. Based on the results, we comprehensively evaluated the caries status of children and statistically analyzed the caries-related factors to identify the relevant risk factors.Results: The mean age of children in the study children was 40.08 +/- 2.65 months, with a caries prevalence rate of 54.97% and a mean caries value of 4.61. Early childhood caries was correlated with the intake frequency of sugary foods, intake of sugary foods before bedtime, frequency of tooth brushing, oral health knowledge of parents, caries susceptibility, and age of starting to brush teeth. Logistic regression analysis results showed that the intake frequency of sugary foods, oral health knowledge of parents, and caries susceptibility were the factors influencing early childhood caries, especially the intake frequency of sugary foods.Conclusion: The intake frequency of sugary foods, intake of sugary foods before bedtime, frequency of brushing teeth, oral health knowledge of parents, caries susceptibility, and age of starting to brush teeth were associated with early childhood caries. Among these, the intake frequency of sugary foods, oral health knowledge of parents, and caries susceptibility, especially the intake frequency of sugary foods, were the influencing factors.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist Gremlin 1 (GREM1) on the function of stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) and explore its mechanism. METHODS:After isolation and culturing of stem cells from apical papilla in vitro, immunofluorescent staining was done to examine the subcellular localization of GREM1 in SCAPs. Transfection with lentiviral GREM1 shRNA was done to knock-down the GREM1. The SCAPs were subjected to osteogenic induction in both the GREM1 knockdown group and the control group, and the knockdown effect of GREM1 was examined using real time-PCR and Western blot. Two groups of cells were collected and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was measured 7 d after osteogenic induction. Alizarin red staining was done 3 weeks after osteogenic/odontogenic induction and real time-PCR was done after 0, 1, 2, 3 weeks of osteogenic induction to examine the expression of osteogenic/odontogenic marker genes, including osteocalcin ( OCN), osteopontin ( OPN), bone sialoprotein ( BSP), dentin matrix protein 1 ( DMP1), dentin sialophosphoprotein ( DSPP) and and the critical transcription factor osterix ( OSX), Runt-related transcription factor 2 ( RUNX2), and distal-less homebox 2 ( DLX2). Two groups of cells were collected, and CCK-8 and CFSE assay were used to evaluate changes in cell proliferation. In addition, real time-PCR was used to examine the expression of senescence-related genes p53 and wide-type activated factor 1 ( Waf1), a regulatory factor of the cell cycle, stemness associated gene krupple-like factor 4 ( KLF4), and SRY related HMG box-2 ( SOX2), and the expression of bone morphogenetic protein ( BMP) 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 after GREM1 knockdown. RESULTS:Immunofluorescence staining showed that the expression of GREM1 in the nucleus was higher than that in the cytoplasm. Real time-PCR and Western blot affirmed that GREM1 was knocked down steadily. The ALP activity of the GREM1 knockdown group was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05), and the alizarin red staining was lighter than that of the control group. The expression of OCN and DMP1 increased in the first, second and third week, OPN was increased in the second week, BSP increased in the third week, DSPP increased in the first week, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The key osteogenic transcription factors RUNX2, OSX, and DLX2 all increased at different stages, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). CCK-8 and CFSE assay showed that the proliferation ability of the GREM1 knockdown group decreased ( P<0.05). In the GREM1 knockdown group, the expression of BMP2, 6, and 7 increased, the expression of SOX2 and KLF4 increased, while the expression of p53 and Waf1 decreased ( P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The knockdown of GREM1 enhanced the osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation and stemness of SCAPs and inhibited the proliferation and senescence of SCAPs. Effects of GREM1 on the function of SCAPs maybe achieved through regulating the gene expression of BMP2, BMP6, and BMP7 at the mRNA level.

Dental stem cells for dental pulp regeneration have become a new strategy for pulpitis treatment. Angiogenesis and neurogenesis play a vital role in the pulp-dentin complex regeneration, and appropriate growth factors will promote the process of angiogenesis and neurogenesis. Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) is involved in the regulation of tooth growth and development. A previous study showed that IGFBP5 enhanced osteo/odontogenic differentiation of dental stem cells. Our research intends to reveal the function of IGFBP5 in the angiogenic and neurogenic differentiation of human dental stem cells. Human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were used in the present study. Lentiviral IGFBP5 shRNA was used to silence the IGFBP5. Retroviruses expressing Wild-type IGFBP5 were used to over-express IGFBP5. Angiogenic and neurogenic differentiation were carried out by in vitro study. Real-time RT-PCR and western blot results showed that over-expression of IGFBP5 upregulated the expressions of angiogenic markers, including VEGF, PDGFA and ANG-1, and neurogenic markers, including NCAM, TH, Nestin, βIII-tubulin, and TH, in DPSCs. Moreover, microscope observation confirmed that over-expression of IGFBP5 enhanced neurosphere formation in DPSCs in size and amount. Immunofluorescence staining results showed that over-expression of IGFBP5 also prompted the percentage of Nestin and βIII-tubulin positive neurospheres in DPSCs. While depletion of IGFBP5 downregulated the expressions of VEGF, PDGFA, ANG-1, NCAM, TH, Nestin, βIII-tubulin, and TH, it decreased the neurosphere formation and percentage of Nestin and βIII-tubulin positive neurospheres in DPSCs. In conclusion, our results revealed that IGFBP5 promoted angiogenic and neurogenic differentiation potential of DPSCs in vitro and provided the possible potential target for enhancing directed differentiation of dental stem cells and dental pulp-dentin functional regeneration.

Objectives In dental tissue engineering, niche is important for maintaining stem cell function and regenerating the dental tissues. However, there is limited knowledge for the growth factors in niche to maintain the function of stem cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of IGF2, a growth factor in stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) niche, on differentiation and proliferation potentials of SCAPs. Materials and methods Recombinant human IGF2 protein (rhIGF2) was used. Cell counting kit-8 assay, Carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, Alizarin Red staining, quantitative calcium analysis, immunofluorescence staining and real-time RT-PCR were performed to investigate the cell proliferation and differentiation potentials of SCAPs. And proteomic analysis was used to identify the differential secreted proteins. Results By ALP activity assay, we found that 5 ng/mL rhIGF2 might be the optimal concentration for treatment. Then, Alizarin Red staining, quantitative calcium analysis and osteogenesis-related gene expression results showed that 5 ng/mL rhIGF2 could enhance the osteo-/dentinogenic differentiation potentials in SCAPs. Immunofluorescence staining and real-time RT-PCR results showed that neurogenic markers were significantly induced by 5 ng/mL rhIGF2 in SCAPs. Then, CCK-8 assay and CFSE assay results showed that 5 ng/mL rhIGF2 could enhance the cell proliferation in SCAPs. Furthermore, proteomic analysis showed that IGF2 could induce some secreted proteins which function related to the osteogenesis, neurogenesis and cell proliferation. Conclusions Our results identified that IGF2 might be the potential mediator in niche to promote SCAP function and dental tissue regeneration.

Fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS) is commonly caused by various Aspergillus species (spp) and Mucorales fungi, and the treatment and prognosis of cases differ depending on the causative fungus. The present study describes a novel immunohistochemical method that has high sensitivity and specificity for distinguishing between these two types of fungi in patients with FRS. Three groups were included in the study. Group A included formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded blocks of 51 nasal tissue specimens of patients with FRS (27 Aspergillus spp and 24 Mucorales) that were continuously obtained from the Department of Pathology of Tongren Hospital in Beijing as the experimental group and 34 cultures (26 Aspergillus spp and 8 Mucorales) of FRS that were randomly selected from the bacterial laboratory of Tongren Hospital in Beijing to verify the staining results of the paraffin‑embedded blocks. Formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded blocks of 10 esophageal cancer specimens were included in Group B as the positive control group. All specimens in Groups A and B were stained with interferon‑γ (IFN‑γ) antibody. Group C consisted of the same specimens as described in Group A, however, when performing the immunohistochemical assay, IFN‑γ antibody was replaced by PBS and this served as the negative control group. The differences in IFN‑γ immunohistochemical staining between Aspergillus spp and Mucorales were analyzed. Staining of IFN‑γ in paraffin‑embedded samples was positive in 92.6% (25/27) of specimens in which Aspergillus spp were the causative pathogen, which was significantly higher compared with specimens in which Mucorales was causative (P<0.001), with only 4.2% (1/24) of specimens staining positive for IFN‑γ. Immunohistochemical staining of cell cultures was 100% positive for Aspergillus spp, whereas all Mucorales were negative. Thus, the results of the current study indicated that IFN‑γ antibody immunohistochemical staining may be used as a novel diagnostic tool to distinguish between Aspergillus spp and Mucorales when identifying the causative agent in FRS, providing a useful supplementary test to the current immunohistochemical methods in the clinical diagnosis of FRS.

Objective: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) exist in human saliva and dentin and play an important role in the degradation of organic matrix in teeth. Chemically modified tetracycline-3 (CMT-3) is an inhibitor of MMPs. CMT-3 has been used experimentally to treat caries since 1999, but no distinction between dental caries prevalence and dentin caries prevalence has been described. Methods: A total of 65 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups. The positive control group (25 rats) was inoculated with Streptococcus mutans (ATCC700610) and fed the cariogenic feed of improved Keyes Diet 2000. The CMT-3 group (25 rats) was also inoculated with S. mutans and fed the cariogenic feed of improved Keyes Diet 2000; the surfaces of rats’ molars were daily treated with 0.02% CMT-3. The negative control group (15 rats) was only fed the standard rodent chow. At the end of the 10th week, the dental caries prevalence and dentin caries prevalence of each group were calculated, and the regions of caries were assessed. Results: No caries was found in the negative control group. The dental caries prevalence of the CMT-3 and the positive control group was 75.0 and 83.3%, respectively (p > 0.05, Table 2). The dentin caries prevalence of the CMT-3 and the positive control group was 33.3 and 70.8%, respectively (p < 0.05, Table 2). The Keyes scoring of dentin caries in the CMT-3 group was significantly lower than that in the positive control group (p < 0.05, Table 3). Conclusions: CMT-3 had no effect on the prevalence of dental caries, but could lower the prevalence and slow down the progression of dentin caries.

The microenvironmental niche plays the key role for maintaining the cell functions. The stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) are important for tooth development and regeneration. However, there is limited knowledge about the key factors in niche for maintaining the function of SCAPs. In this study, we analyse the gene expression profiles between apical papilla tissues, SCAPs and SCAPs cell sheet to identify the key genes in SCAPs niche.

Objective To investigate the root canal numbers of maxillary second primary molars. Methods 216 maxillary second primary molars from 204 children aged 3-8 years old were selected. All the teeth need to do the root canal therapy. After opening the pulp chamber, the root canal were examined and determined with small size K file and 17%ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Hand instruments were used for root canal preparation and then zinc-oxide iodoform paste was used for filling. Results 216 maxillary second primary molars, 122 teeth had three root canals (56.5%), and 94 teeth had four root canals (43.5%). The incidence of second mesiobuccal canal (MB2) was 41.2%. There was no correlation between the incidence of the MB2 canal and gender and tooth position. Conclusion The root canals of maxillary second primary molars had more variations, and there was a high incidence of the second mesiobuccal canal.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical and pathologic features of middle ear adenoma (MEA).METHODS:Eight cases of MEA were collected from Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University between 2004 and 2014, and immunohistochemical staining was performed.RESULTS:The patients included five women and three men (mean age, 37.5 years; median 37 years; range, 21-51 years). All patients had unilateral lesions. Five MEA occurred on the left side, and three on the right. In seven patients the MEA was primary, and they presented with hearing loss (6 cases), tinnitus (5 cases), sense of ear blockage (3 cases), otalgia (1 case) and facial nerve paralysis (1 case). The remaining patient had recurrent MEA, and presented with otorrhea, aural fullness and tinnitus. Histologically, the tumor cells were arranged in a variety of patterns, including solid sheets, nests, glands, ribbons or trabeculae. Glandular structures were prominent in one case only. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were diffusely positive for keratin (8/8) and vimentin (8/8), and focally positive for CK 7(8/8) and CK5/6(8/8). CK7 and CK5/6 were predominantly positive in tumor cells with glandular growth pattern; CK7 was positive in the luminal cells while CK5/6 was positive in the abluminal cells. Both were also expressed focally in scattered tumor cells with non-glandular pattern. The tumor cells were also diffusely positive for synaptophysin(8/8), diffusely but weakly positive for NSE (5/8), and were diffusely or focally positive for chromogranin A (4/8). Both S-100 protein and calponin were negative in all cases. The proliferation rate was low, about 1%-2%. Six cases were followed up for one year and three months to ten years and six months, with an average follow-up period of four years and two months. Two patients developed recurrence, but there were no regional or distant metastases.CONCLUSIONS:Diagnosis of MEA requires pathologic confirmation since the clinical symptoms are non-specific. MEA can show a variety of histologic patterns, and should be distinguished from other space-occupying lesions at this site. Immunohistochemical staining has greatly contributed to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of MEA. The prognosis of this tumor is good. Patients with MEA require long-term follow-up for recurrences.

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-mediated periodontal tissue regeneration is considered a promising method for periodontitis treatment. The molecular mechanism underlying directed differentiation and anti-inflammatory actions remains unclear, thus limiting potential MSC application. We previously found that insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) is highly expressed in dental tissue-derived MSCs compared with in non-dental tissue-derived MSCs. IGFBP5 is mainly involved in regulating biological activity of insulin-like growth factors, and its functions in human MSCs and tissue regeneration are unclear. In this study, we performed gain- and loss-of-function assays to test whether IGFBP5 could regulate the osteogenic differentiation and anti-inflammatory potential in MSCs. We found that IGFBP5 expression was upregulated upon osteogenic induction, and that IGFBP5 enhanced osteogenic differentiation in MSCs. We further showed that IGFBP5 prompted the anti-inflammation effect of MSCs via negative regulation of NFκB signaling. Depletion of the histone demethylase lysine (K)-specific demethylase 6B (KDM6B) downregulated IGFBP5 expression by increasing histone K27 methylation in the IGFBP5 promoter. Moreover, IGFBP5 expression in periodontal tissues was downregulated in individuals with periodontitis compared with in healthy people, and IGFBP5 enhanced MSC-mediated periodontal tissue regeneration and alleviated local inflammation in a swine model of periodontitis. In conclusion, our present results reveal a new function for IGFBP5, provide insight into the mechanism underlying the directed differentiation and anti-inflammation capacities of MSCs, and identify a potential target mediator for improving tissue regeneration.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is rare in nasal cavity and paranasal sinus. The aim of this study was to describe the clinicopathological features of sinonasal IMT and analyze the relationship between the clinicopathological features and the prognosis. A retrospective study of 25 IMT patients between 2001 and 2012 was performed. Data on clinical features, treatment, and follow-up were recorded. The histological characters were observed. Overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Clinically, the most common symptoms were nasal obstruction, facial pain, and toothache. Twenty patients received follow-ups 6–120 months after initial diagnosis. Fifteen (75 %) developed recurrence 1 or more times. One patient had left cervical lymph node metastasis (5 %). Five patients died of the tumor (25 %). Histologically, the IMTs composed of bland spindle cells admixed with a prominent infiltrate of plasma cells and lymphocytes and showed obvious atypia in recurrent cases. Histology with necrosis, mitosis (≥1/10 HPF), ganglion-like cells, histological pattern I or II and relapse (≥4 times) was significantly associated with poor OS and EFS. IMT of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses exhibits relatively bland histologic appearances, but can shows strongly aggressive behavior and relatively poor outcomes. Multiple relapse, necrosis, frequent mitosis, the presence of ganglion-like cells, and histological pattern might be associated with poor clinical outcomes.
