Abstract
External root resorption is physiological or pathological destruction of the hard tissues on the root's external surface caused by various factors. Dental trauma is one of the main causes of pathological external root resorption. The manifestation and prognosis of external root resorption are closely related to the type of dental trauma, the degree of root damage, the stage of root development, and the presence of microbial infection et al. Effective management can prevent the occurrence of external root resorption or stop the progress of root resorption to avoid the early loss of traumatic teeth. This review focuses on the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and management strategies for permanent teeth with external root resorption after dental trauma, in order to provide a reference for the prevention and intervention of external root resorption after trauma in permanent teeth.

Abstract
Heterogeneous mutations in dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) gene, which is located on autosome 4, are associated with hereditary dentin developmental disorders. According to the new classification proposed by de La Dure-Molla et al, diseases caused by DSPP gene mutations mainly manifested as abnormal dentin development are collectively referred to as dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI), including dentin dysplasia type Ⅱ (DD-Ⅱ), dentinogenesis imperfecta type Ⅱ (DGI-Ⅱ) and dentinogenesis imperfecta type Ⅲ (DGI-Ⅲ) in Shields classification. And dentin dysplasia type Ⅰ (DD-Ⅰ) in Shields classification is redesignated as radicular dentin dysplasia. In this paper, progress in the classification, clinical characteristics and genetic mechanisms of DI are reviewed. This paper also provides clinical management and treatment strategies for patients suffering DI.

Abstract
Infraocclusion is a phenomenon that the relative occlusal growth of a tooth stops after the period of active eruption and then the tooth becomes depressed below the occlusal plane. Infraocclusion occurred more commonly in children and the mostly affected teeth were the primary mandibular second molars. The occlusal problem caused by infraocclusion may progressively worsen with age. This review summarizes the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of infraoccluded second primary molars, so as to provide reference for the dental clinicians.

Abstract
Objective: To identify risk factors associated with mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in oral and maxillofacial cancer patients following radiotherapty and to provide scientific basis for the etiological research and clinical prevention of mandibular ORN. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in patients with oral and maxillofacial-head and neck cancer during the period from January 2013 to December 2015. Influential factors related to mandibular ORN were screened by single factor analysis, Lasso and Logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 757 patients were analyzed, and the total incidence of mandibular ORN was 12.0%(91/757). There were 443 males and 314 females, aged (51.8±13.7) years. Thirty-five related factors were screened to 28 by single factor analysis. It was determined by Lasso regression analysis that, radiation doses (OR=1.135, P=0.034, 95%CI: 1.089-1.232), T classification (OR=2.586, P=0.001, 95%CI: 1.482-4.512), mandibular surgery (OR=9.101, P<0.001, 95%CI: 2.796-29.630), periodontitis (OR=6.089, P<0.001, 95%CI: 2.708-13.693), diabetes (OR=4.467, P=0.002, 95%CI: 1.705-11.704), tooth extraction after radiotherapy (OR=3.228, P=0.001, 95%CI: 1.640-6.350), dental caries (OR=2.911, P=0.009, 95%CI: 1.300-6.516), periapical periodontitis (OR=2.726, P=0.016, 95%CI: 1.209-6.145), smoking (OR=4.438, P=0.002, 95%CI: 1.702-11.571) and unilateral/bilateral radiotherapy (OR=2.225, P=0.028, 95%CI: 1.090-4.545) were significantly associated with developing mandibular ORN. Conclusions: Ten main risk factors for mandibular ORN were identified through the single center, large sample, retrospective analysis, which has a certain value for clinical prevention of mandibular ORN. Prospective, randomized controlled trials and long-term follow-up are still needed.

Abstract
AIM To establish a cell line of immortalized human dental papilla cells (hDPCs). METHODOLOGY Primary hDPCs were cultured and infected with lentivirus containing the hTERT gene. Integration and transcription of the hTERT gene were verified by PCR. The characteristics of the cells, such as morphology, proliferation and mineralization, were analysed. Also, the expression of odontoblastic-related markers including ALP, DMP1, DLX3, OSX, DSP and Nestin, was detected by immunohistochemistry and real-time RT-PCR. RESULTS hTERT gene was integrated into genomic DNA of immortalized cells (hDPC-TERT) and transcribed into mRNA. With long-time culture, hDPC-TERT bypassed senescence and grew over 120 population doublings. hDPC-TERT cells have a higher proliferation rate, but retain the phenotypic characteristics of the primary hDPCs, and so was ALP activity and mineralization activity. Furthermore, the hDPC-TERT cells express no DSP and Nestin with maintenance medium, but highly expressed DSP and Nestin after odontoblastic induction. CONCLUSIONS A line of immortalized human dental papilla cells, which remains in an undifferentiated state and has odontoblastic differentiation potential, was established. This cell line can be used as a cell model for studying the mechanism of the initiation of odontoblast differentiation.

Abstract
Plasmonic vortices (PVs) are generated by focusing a radially polarized optical vortex (OV) beam onto a metal surface. The intensity distribution of the PV is registered with a near-field scanning optical microscopy and agrees well with a theoretical prediction as well as numerical calculation. Beside the dark central spot, the numerical calculation also shows an azimuthal Poynting vector belonging to the PV, implying that the orbital angular momentum (OAM) was transferred from the radially polarized OV. To directly verify the OAM, plasmonic trapping experiments with gold micrometer particles are performed and the particle rotation is visualized. Further experiments by varying the topological charge of radially polarized OVs show the corresponding changes in rotation in terms of speed and radius.

Abstract
A novel phase modulation method for dynamic manipulation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) with a phase engineered optical vortex (OV) beam illuminating on nanoslits is experimentally demonstrated. Because of the unique helical phase carried by an OV beam, dynamic control of SPP multiple focusing and standing wave generation is realized by changing the OV beam's topological charge constituent with the help of a liquid-crystal spatial light modulator. Measurement of SPP distributions with near-field scanning optical microscopy showed an excellent agreement with numerical predictions. The proposed phase modulation technique for manipulating SPPs features has seemingly dynamic and reconfigurable advantages, with profound potential for development of SPP coupling, routing, multiplexing and high-resolution imaging devices on plasmonic chips.

Abstract
Generation of a nondiffracting transversally polarized beam by means of transmitting an azimuthally polarized beam through a multibelt spiral phase hologram and then highly focusing by a high-NA lens is presented. A relatively long depth of focus (∼4.84λ) of the electric field with only radial and azimuthal components is achieved. The polarization of the wavefront near the focal plane is analyzed in detail by calculating the Stokes polarization parameters. It is found that the polarization is spatially varying and entirely transversally polarized, and the polarization singularity disappears at the beam center, which makes the central bright channel possible.

Abstract
We demonstrate an experimental result that shows the phase singularity of surface plasmon waves generated by the direct transform of optical vortices at normal incidence focused on a structureless metal surface. The near-field two-dimensional intensity distribution near the focal plane is experimentally examined by using near-field scanning optical microscopy and shows a good agreement with the finite-difference time-domain simulation result. The experimental realization demonstrates a potential of the proposed excitation scheme to be reconfigured locally with advantages over structures milled into optically thick metallic films for plasmonics applications involving plasmonic vortices.

Abstract
We propose an approach to the generation of nondiffracting quasi-circularly polarized beams by a highly focusing azimuthally polarized beam using an amplitude modulated spiral phase hologram. Numerical verifications are implemented in the calculation of the electromagnetic fields and Poynting vector field near the focus based on the vector diffraction theory, and the polarization of the wavefront near the focal plane is analyzed in detail by calculating the Stokes polarization parameters. It is found that the electric field, magnetic field, and Poynting vector field can simultaneously be uniform and nondiverging over a relatively long axial range of ~7.23λ. In the transverse plane, the ellipticity and azimuthal angle of the local polarization ellipse varies from point to point. No polarization singularity and phase singularity are found at the beam center, which makes the bright spot possible.

Abstract
Manipulation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) by phase modulation of incident light beams is proposed with analytical and numerical verifications when an optical vortex (OV) beam is employed as an example. Fundamental functionalities of a plasmonic chip such as in-plane focusing, coupling and multiplexing of SPP by sequentially varying the topological charge of OV beam are demonstrated. Complementary to the manually-controlled optical-path-different technique reported in literature, the proposed method reveals a direct phase transform from OV beam to SPP with dynamic and reconfigurable advantages.

Abstract
We propose a modified effective-refractive-index model for the design of relief dielectric structures on a metal surface to realize phase modulation of surface-plasmon polaritons (SPPs). In this model, the length of the dielectric structure is optimized to reach phase shifting between the SPP waves transmitted through dielectric structure and those directly propagated with the consideration of SPP losses. Specifically, a one-dimensional dielectric Fresnel zone plate is designed by employing the proposed model to demonstrate phase modulation of SPPs for the highest focusing efficiency.

Abstract
The transcription factors Runx2 and Osx are necessary for osteoblast and odontoblast differentiation, while Dspp is important for odontoblast differentiation. The relationship among Runx2, Osx, and Dspp during tooth and craniofacial bone development remains unknown. In this study, we hypothesized that the roles of Runx2 and Osx in the regulation of osteoblast and odontoblast lineages may be independent of one another. The results showed that Runx2 expression overlapped with Osx in dental and osteogenic mesenchyme from E12 to E16. At the later stages, from E18 to PN14, Runx2 and Osx expressions remained intense in alveolar bone osteoblasts. However, Runx2 expression was down-regulated, whereas Osx expression was clearly seen in odontoblasts. At later stages, Dspp transcription was weakly present in osteoblasts, but strong in odontoblasts where Osx was highly expressed. In mouse odontoblast-like cells, Osx overexpression increased Dspp transcription. Analysis of these data suggests differential biological functions of Runx2, Osx, and Dspp during odontogenesis and osteogenesis.

Abstract
Polymer refractive microstructures are fabricated on metallic thin films and employed to modulate surface plasmons (SPs) propagations in a refractive manner. SP waves converging with different focal lengths and diverging effects are realized by the refractive structures. Authors investigated the modulation effect on SP waves as a function of different thicknesses and different shapes of the polymer micro-structures based on the effective refractive index model, where imaging properties of the SPs are observed experimentally by detecting the leaky radiation intensity of the SPs.

Abstract
Between the incisor and molars in each dental quadrant, mice have a toothless gap (diastema) that may contain vestigial tooth primordia. It is still not clear whether suppression of odontogenesis in the mouse lower diastema can be attributed to epithelium, mesenchyme, or both. Therefore, using recombination experiments with mouse tissues from E11.5 and E13.5 stages, we investigated whether the epithelium or mesenchyme is responsible for the suppression of odontogenesis. Five groups of recombinants were established and cultured under mouse kidney capsules. The results demonstrated that at E11.5, the lower diastemal epithelium and mesenchyme possessed odontogenic potential and competence, respectively; at E13.5, both the lower diastemal epithelium and mesenchyme had odontogenic competence, while the lower diastemal mesenchyme did not possess odontogenic potential. On the basis of comparison of the odontogenic capabilities between the lower diastemal and molar tooth primordia, we conclude that mesenchyme is responsible for tooth regression in the mouse lower diastema.

Abstract
Impaired immune reconstitution following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) remains a major obstacle to its clinical application. In this study, interleukin (IL)-7-transduced bone marrow stromal cells (MSC-IL7, 1 x 10(6)/mouse) were transfused into lethally irradiated C57BL/6 recipient mice. By day 40 after transplantation, the recipient mice were challenged with the lymphoma cell line EL4. MSC-IL7 co-transplantation protected recipient mice from leukemic mortality (MST >120 days after BMT vs mean survival time (MST) 70 days in the PBS group) It enhance the PFC count and DTH responses of recipients after transplantation. In conclusion, MSC mediated IL-7 gene therapy and may be a more feasible strategy to restore immune function following allo-TCD-BMT.

Abstract
The underlying mechanism of the degradation of articular cartilage is an imbalance between anabolic and catabolic pathways, which are under the control of cytokines. Chemokines are a novel class of small cytokines and have a wide range of effects in many different cell types, both inside and outside of the immune system. Their actions are mediated by a family of 7-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors. Recent studies have demonstrated that chondrocytes co-express chemokines and their receptors, and that the interaction of chemokines with their receptors results in the release of cartilage matrix-degrading proteinases, and affect proteoglycan metabolism in chondrocytes. These data reveal a catabolic pathway primed by chemokine/chemokine receptor system in articular cartilage, thus proposing a novel therapeutic approach against cartilage destruction in arthropathy.

Abstract
Although chondrocyte apoptosis has been noted in arthritic joints, the mechanism is not clear. To investigate whether Fas-mediated apoptosis has a role in this process, the presence of Fas mRNA and expression of cell surface Fas protein in monolayer-cultured human articular chondrocytes was analyzed. Fas mRNA was found in all chondrocyte samples analyzed; moreover, the majority of cells in chondrocyte populations expressed cell-surface Fas (12-90%, average 49%). Nevertheless, treatment with an agonistic anti-Fas antibody did not induce significant apoptosis in these chondrocytes in vitro. However, it was also found that chondrocytes express Fas-associated death domain-like interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme-inhibitory protein (FLIP), a molecule which blocks Fas-mediated apoptosis. Correspondingly, activation of caspase-8 was minimal in these cultured chondrocytes. In conclusion, although human articular chondrocytes do express cell-surface Fas, this receptor did not fully mediate death-inducing signals in vitro. This resistance to Fas may be partly due to the constitutive expression of FLIP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the involvement of the chemokine/chemokine receptor system in cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS Expression of the 4 C-C chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein 1alpha (MIP-1alpha), MIP-1beta, and RANTES, and their receptors CCR-2 and CCR-5, was assessed in 11 OA patients and 5 normal controls, by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunochemistry, and flow cytometry on untreated or interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)- and/or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-stimulated chondrocytes. The effects of these chemokines on the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases were assayed by RT-PCR and ELISA. The effects on proteoglycan synthesis and release were also assayed, using 35S-sulfate incorporation and 35S-proteoglycan release. RESULTS The C-C chemokines and their receptors CCR-2 and CCR-5 were found to be expressed in normal and OA chondrocytes. However, regulation of chemokine expression by IL-1beta and TNFalpha differed between normal and OA chondrocytes. Intracellular staining revealed that approximately 20% of the chondrocytes contained CCR-2 and CCR-5 in the cytoplasm, whereas cell surface expression was detected less frequently. Interestingly, RANTES induced expression of its own receptor, CCR-5, suggesting an autocrine/paracrine pathway of the chemokine within the cartilage milieu. Finally, addition of MCP-1 or RANTES not only induced MMP-3 expression, but also inhibited proteoglycan synthesis and enhanced proteoglycan release from the chondrocytes. CONCLUSION The differential expression of chemokines and their receptors under the regulation of IL-1beta and TNFalpha suggests that the cytokine-triggered chemokine system may play a key role in the cartilage degradation of OA, possibly acting in an autocrine/paracrine manner.

Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the involvement of Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) in ankylosing spondylitis. Serum IgA, IgG and IgM antibodies to Kp were measured with ELISA in 60 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), 28 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 45 healthy individuals. A marked elevation of IgA antibody to Kp was detected in the sera of patients with AS, compared to that in patients with RA (P < 0.02) and healthy controls (P < 0.001). The positive rate of antibodies to Kp was 55% in patients with active AS, significantly higher than that in patients with inactive AS (16.7%, P < 0.01), patients with RA (17.8%, P < 0.05) and healthy controls (4.4%, P < 0.001). Stool culture for Kp was carried out in 15 of the 60 patients with AS simultaneously, 3 (20%) of them were positive. Our results are in line with the previously published findings suggesting that Kp may play a role in the pathogenesis of AS.

Abstract
Serum creatinine (Scr) and creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) were measured for their normal values in young and youngster. The subjects included 251 health individuals between the age of 15 and 29.251 of them were tested actually. The datum had been treated by a computer. The Scr normal values are 72.49 and 50.39 mumol/L respectively in the males and females. Their means showed significance differences between the males and females. The upper limit of 95% of normal values were 94.59 and 66.3 mumol/L respectively. The Ccr means of the males and females were 136.89 and 132.13 ml/min/1.73 m2 respectively. Their means showed no significance difference between them. A common lower limit of 95% of normal values was 75.03 ml/min/1.73 m2. It is expected that the information above provide a scientific base and important reference in the future.
