认知功能障碍是严重危害老年人的常见病,为了降低老年人认知功能障碍的发病率,有必要研究认知障碍的危险因素有哪些.咀嚼运动是咀嚼肌在各神经系统的综合支配下产生的随意和非随意的节律性运动,大脑在咀嚼过程中发挥了重要作用,反过来咀嚼对脑功能乃至全身健康也产生重要影响.大量研究表明咀嚼功能减退与认知功能下降有关.目前咀嚼功能减退影响认知功能的机制研究主要关注以下 3 个方面:(1)感觉反馈机制与咀嚼功能减退导致的认知功能障碍的相关性;(2)咀嚼功能减退与运动控制的补偿能力的相关性;(3)小脑功能减退在认知功能下降和咀嚼功能减退的作用.本文对认知功能与咀嚼功能减退的关系做一综述,旨在了解二者的相关性研究进展.
Objective:To investigate the regulation of proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BM-SCs)by CKIP-1 in vitro.Methods:BMSCs from CKIP-1 nock out(KO)and wild type(WT)C57 mice were isolated and cultured u-sing adherence method in vitro.BMSCs of the 3rd passage were induced to osteogenic and adipgenic differentiation.Cell proliferation was examined by MTT assay.Cell surface markers were tested by FCM.The osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation was studied by alkaline phosphatase (ALP)staining,alizarin red staining and oil red O staining.Results:The proliferation and cell marke expression of the 2 groups were similar.ALP staining of KO group was strong than that of WT group after osteogenic induction.Alizarin red stai-ning showed that there were more mineralized nodules in BMSCs of KO group than in those of WT group.Oil red O staining of KO mice BMSCs was stronger than that of WT.Conclusion:CKIP-1 deficiency can enhance the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation without influence on the proliferation of BMSCs.
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of malocclusion among children with primary dentition in Xi’an, China.
PURPOSE:Mini-implants have been used as anchorage for years, but failure is common in clinical practice. Mini-implant design is a critical factor affecting its stability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of continuous and simultaneous variations of thread height and pitch on the biomechanical properties of an orthodontic mini-implant.METHOD:A 3D finite element model, composed of a posterior maxilla section and an orthodontic mini-implant, was created. Mini-implant thread height ranged from 0.10 to 0.40 mm, and thread pitch ranged from 0.50 to 2.00 mm. Effects of the implant thread height and pitch on the maximum Von Mises stresses in maxilla and mini-implant, as well as maximum displacements in the mini-implant, were evaluated by a finite element method. Bivariate analysis was used to determine the optimal range of thread height and pitch.RESULTS:Variation of thread height and pitch decreased the maximum Von Mises stresses in cortical bone, cancellous bone and mini-implant by 54.9, 78.4 and 23.6 %, respectively. The maximum displacement in the mini-implant decreased by 21.8 %.CONCLUSION:Maxillary stress and mini-implant stability were influenced by mini-implant thread height and pitch. Increased thread height with a thread pitch of 1.20 mm was better for orthodontic mini-implant in the maxillary posterior region. Thread height played a more significant role than the thread pitch in reducing maxillary stress and enhancing orthodontic mini-implant stability.
We investigated the response of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) placed on the titanium-6aluminium-7niobiuim (Ti-6Al-7Nb) alloy modified by hydrofluoric acid etch combined with subsequent anodic oxidation. Pure titanium (Ti) discs and Ti-6Al-7Nb discs were treated by hydrofluoric acid etch and anodic oxidation, and polished pure Ti discs and Ti-6Al-7Nb discs without surface modification served as controls (n=35 in each group). Scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and radiographic photoelectron spectroscopy assays were used to detect the properties of the samples' surface. The morphology, adhesion, proliferation, and alkaline phosphatase activity of BMSC were examined using various techniques of microscopic and biological characterisation. The results showed that both Ti-6Al-7Nb samples and the pure Ti samples showed hierarchical micro/nanotopographies, and fluorine emerged on the surfaces of the samples after modification. The hierarchical micro/nanotopographies significantly increased the spreading, adhesion, and proliferation of BMSC and activity of alkaline phosphatase. In addition, modified samples of Ti-6Al-7Nb showed significantly higher alkaline phosphatase activity than modified pure Ti samples (p<0.05). The experiment successfully confirmed that Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy with hierarchical micro/nanotopographies treated by hydrofluoric acid etch and anodic oxidation possessed good biocompatibility, and may be a promising candidate for dental implants.

METHODS: Strontium-substituted biomimetic surface titanium implants were manufactured by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. The morphology and the component of the coating were examined by SEM and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy( EDS). The surface-coated implants( experimental group) and machanically-surfaced implants( control group) were randomly inserted into the distal femura of 20 SD rats,dual fluorochrome sequential labeling was used for osseointergration observation. 4 weeks after the surgery, the morphology was observed by histological examination. The maximal pull-out force of the specimens was measured by universal material testing machine. RESULTS: The strontium-substituted coating presented a micro / nanorough structure,in the coating the content of Sr was 1. 2%. Stronger osteogenic activity at early stage of bone healing was observed in experimental group. The bone implant contact,mineral apposition ration and maximal pull-out forces of experimental group were significantly higher than those of control group( P 0. 05). CONCLUSION: Modification with strontium-substituted biomimetic surface can promote osseointegration of dental implants in early stage of implantation.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of micro/nanorough-surface on osseointegration in early stage of dental implants.Methods:Forty implants were equally divided into two groups:machined-surface implants as the control group;micro/nanorough-surface implants as the experimental group.All implants were inserted into the distal femurs of 20 rats randomly.At week 0 and 2 following implantation,microcomputed tomography(micro-CT) scanning in vivo was used to assess micro-architectural changes in the bone around.Two weeks after implantation,all the rats were killed and the femurs with implants were harvested for histomorphometry analysis and biomechanical test.Results:Micro-CT analysis showed that the bone volume ratio,the trabecular thickness and number all increased significantly in the micro/nanorough-group compared with the machined-group,while the trabecular separation decreased significantly in the micro/nanorough-group.The bone-implant-contact were 38.94±9.48% and 51.49±12.49% in the machined-group and the micro/nanorough-group.The maximum pull-out forces were 64.95±6.11N and 81.90±13.10N,respectively.There was significant difference between the two groups in the BIC value and the maximal pull-out forces.Conclusion:Modification with micro/nanorough-surface could promote dental implants osseointegration in early stage of implantation.
