Effect of Anchor-Guiding Sleeve Length on the Accuracy of Computer-Guided Flapless Implant Surgery. J ORAL IMPLANTOL 2022; 48:578-583. [PMID: 35881817 DOI: 10.1563/aaid-joi-d-20-00285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2020] [Revised: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of anchor-guiding sleeve length on the accuracy of computer-guided flapless implant surgery in edentulous cases. Twelve identical polyurethane edentulous mandibular models were equally divided into short and long anchor-guiding sleeve groups based on the type of anchor-guiding sleeve. After implant placement and scan body connections, digital impressions were taken using the intraoral scanner. Using the software's measurement function, the deviation parameters between the planned and actual position of the placed implants were calculated and compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. In the short anchor-guiding sleeve group, the median angular deviation was 4.05° (range, 2.87°-7.55°). The median linear deviation was 1.17 mm (range, 0.24-2.17 mm) for the implant apex and 0.82 mm (range, 0.43-1.67 mm) for the implant shoulder. The median deviation of the depth was 0.31 mm (range, 0.20-0.79 mm). In the long anchor-guiding sleeve group, the median angular deviation was 2.70° (range, 1.77°-4.08°). The median linear deviation was 0.88 mm (range, 0.21-1.77 mm) for the implant apex and 0.63 mm (range, 0.11-1.97 mm) for the implant shoulder. The median deviation of the depth was 0.24 mm (range, 0.09-0.53 mm). There were significant differences between the 2 groups in the angular and linear deviations at the implant apex and the shoulder and depth deviation. The accuracy of the muco-supported surgical guide was improved using the long anchor-guiding sleeve, thus providing more accurate flapless implant placement in edentulous models. However, model experiments do not always produce predictable and possible uncontrolled cause-and-effect outcomes under natural clinical conditions. Therefore, further in vivo investigations are required to determine whether the results of this study are consistent with clinical findings.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate bone regeneration within infected extraction sockets with bone defects using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) at a 1-year follow-up after implant placement in a prosthetically driven implant position. Forty-eight patients requiring premolar or molar tooth extraction due to bone defects caused by periodontal diseases were included. Vertical and horizontal bone volumes were assessed by overlapping the CBCT scan images with the full digital process. At 1-year post-extraction, a prosthetically-driven implant was planned using virtual implant planning software. At 1 year after extraction, CBCT revealed significant horizontal and vertical bone gains; an overall mean buccolingual bone width gain of 5.46 ± 2.87 mm, and an overall mean vertical bone gain of 0.27 ± 1.28 mm for the lingual bone plate level and 3.50 ± 1.81 mm for the buccal bone plate level were observed. Except for 4 (out of 48) sites, implants were virtually positioned in the center of the edentulous spaces. In summary, despite the dimensional changes after tooth extraction in compromised posterior sockets, there was sufficient bone for placing an implant using the prosthetically driven approach.

Clinical Experience of 1-Minute Brain MRI Using a Multicontrast EPI Sequence in a Different Scan Environment. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 2020; 41:424-429. [PMID: 32029473 DOI: 10.3174/ajnr.a6427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2019] [Accepted: 01/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The long scan time of MR imaging is a major drawback limiting its clinical use in neuroimaging; therefore, we aimed to investigate the clinical feasibility of a 1-minute full-brain MR imaging using a multicontrast EPI sequence on a different MR imaging scanner than the ones previously reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 146 patients who underwent a multicontrast EPI sequence, including T1-FLAIR, T2-FLAIR, T2WI, DWI, and T2*WI sequences. Two attending neuroradiologists assessed the image quality of each sequence to compare the multicontrast EPI sequence with routine MR imaging protocols. We used the Wilcoxon signed rank test and McNemar test to compare the 2 MR imaging protocols. RESULTS The multicontrast EPI sequence generally showed sufficient image quality of >2 points using a 4-point assessment scale. Regarding image quality and susceptibility artifacts, there was no significant difference between the multicontrast EPI sequence DWI and routine DWI (P > .05), attesting to noninferiority of the multicontrast EPI, whereas there were significant differences in the other 4 sequences between the 2 MR imaging protocols. CONCLUSIONS The multicontrast EPI sequence showed sufficient image quality for clinical use with a shorter scan time; however, it was limited by inferior image quality and frequent susceptibility artifacts compared with routine brain MR imaging. Therefore, the multicontrast EPI sequence cannot completely replace the routine MR imaging protocol at present; however, it may be a feasible option in specific clinical situations such as screening, time-critical diseases or for use with patients prone to motion.

Abstract
The all-on-4 concept, which is used to rehabilitate edentulous patients, can present with mechanical complications such as screw loosening and fracture. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress patterns induced in the prosthetic screws by the different prosthetic screw and abutment designs in the all-on-4 concept using finite element analysis. Von Mises stress values on 6 groups of each screw type, including short and narrow screw, short abutment; short and wide screw, short abutment; long and wide screw, short abutment; short and narrow screw, long abutment; short and wide screw, long abutment; and long and wide screw, long abutment, were compared under a cantilever loading of 200 N that was applied on the farther posterior to the position of the connection between the distal implant and the metal framework. Posterior prosthetic screws showed higher stress values than anterior prosthetic screws. The stress values in posterior prosthetic screws decreased as the length and diameter increased. In conclusion, the long and wide screw design offers advantages in stress distribution when compared with the short and narrow design.

Immediate nonfunctional loading of implants placed simultaneously using computer-guided flapless maxillary crestal sinus augmentation with bone morphogenetic protein-2/collagen matrix. Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 2019; 21:1054-1061. [PMID: 31402583 DOI: 10.1111/cid.12831] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2019] [Revised: 03/13/2019] [Accepted: 07/23/2019] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Immediate loading has shown positive results for total, partial, or single edentulism. The effects of BMP-2 addition to graft materials on bone formation and implant stability in the early stages of healing have rarely been studied, especially in patients with severely atrophic maxillae. PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of simultaneously placed immediate non-functional loaded implants and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)-loaded Bio-Oss collagen, on bone formation and implant stability during the early healing stages of patients with a severely atrophic posterior maxilla using crestal approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-three cases presenting posterior maxillary residual alveolar bone height of 1-3 mm were evaluated. Flapless crestal sinus augmentation surgery was performed using BMP-2-loaded Bio-Oss collagen, with non-functional implants immediately loaded after surgery. The bone height was assessed using preoperative and postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Bone density of the sinus graft sites and implant stability (after 3 months) were evaluated using postoperative CBCT scans and Periotest, respectively. The periodontal parameters and marginal bone loss around the implant were checked after 37.3 months of final prosthesis. RESULTS The survival rate of the implants was 100% and the gingiva around the implants remained healthy. All implants remained integrated, and all sinus grafts showed radiographic bone formation. The results indicated high level of bone density and good implant stability, showing minimal marginal bone loss after 37.3 months. CONCLUSION This technique could be used in the posterior maxillary region exhibiting poor bone quantity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Conventional MR imaging techniques cannot produce optimal images of bone structures because bone has little water and a very short T2 life span. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical feasibility of skull MR imaging using the zero TE sequence in patients with head trauma by assessing its diagnostic image quality and quantitative measurement compared with CT images. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirteen enrolled patients with head trauma were assessed using brain CT and skull MR imaging. Image quality was graded on a 5-point Likert scale to compare the 2 modalities. To evaluate quantitative analyses between the 2 imaging modalities, we measured skull thickness and normalized bone tissue signal. Interobserver reliability was assessed using weighted κ statistics and the intraclass correlation coefficient. RESULTS Both imaging techniques clearly depicted skull fractures in all 13 patients. The mean scores for skull MR imaging and CT were 4.65 ± 0.56 and 4.73 ± 0.45 (P = .157), respectively, with substantial interobserver agreement (P < .05). The 2 imaging modalities showed no difference in skull thickness (P = .092) and had good correlation (r 2 = 0.997). The mean value of normalized bone tissue signal among the 3 layers of the skull was relatively consistent (P = .401) with high interobserver agreement (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Zero TE skull MR imaging has diagnostic image quality comparable with that of CT images. It also provides consistent results on the quantitative measurement of cortical bone with CT images.

Abstract
Few studies have evaluated direct digital scans of edentulous jaws using intraoral scanners because it is difficult to scan edentulous sites that are smooth and devoid of features. A scanning technique is introduced for making direct digital scans of edentulous jaws with intraoral scanners in patients with a broad palate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) can be used to increase the number of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in blood clots formed by microfracture arthroplasty (MFX) and whether it can improve the therapeutic outcome for cartilage repair. METHODS Thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were divided into four groups: (1) control, (2) GM-CSF, (3) MFX, and (4) GM-CSF + MFX. GM-CSF was administrated intravenously (IV) at 10 μg/kg body weight 20 min before the MFX surgery. The repaired tissues were retrieved and examined by histological observation, quantitative assessment, and biochemical assays at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after treatment. The number of MSCs was measured in the blood clots by the colony forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) assay. The kinetic profile and distribution of GM-CSF in vivo was also evaluated by near-Infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging and enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay. RESULTS In the histological observations and chemical assays examined at 4, 8, and 12 weeks, the MFX after GM-CSF administration showed better cartilage repair than the one without GM-CSF. The CFU-F assay showed a significantly larger amount of MSCs present in the blood clots of the GM-CSF + MFX group than in the blood clots of the other groups. The blood concentration of GM-CSF peaked at 10 min and decreased back to almost the initial level after a couple of hours. GM-CSF was distributed in many organs including the bone marrow but was not observed clearly in the joint cavity. CONCLUSION Intravenous administration of GM-CSF together with MFX could be a promising therapeutic protocol to enhance the repair of cartilage defects.

Abstract
Our aim was to describe the clinical indications, surgical technique, and clinical outcomes of a pancreas transplantation, performed 4 years after liver transplantation, as treatment for new-onset, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus in a 53-year-old man. Liver transplantation was performed for end-stage liver disease secondary to hepatitis B virus infection and hepatocellular carcinoma. The patient had no history of diabetes prior to the liver transplantation. The decision to proceed with a pancreas transplantation was made when the patient's blood sugar levels could not be normalized despite insulin doses >100 IU/d. A modified cadaveric transplantation technique was used, with the recipient's inferior vena cava dissected for anastomosis with the portal vein of the graft, using a diamond-shaped patch procedure. Moreover, the right common iliac artery was anastomosed with a Y-graft in the pancreas graft, and the duodenum remnant of the graft was anastomosed to the recipient's duodenum using a side-to-side procedure. The 6-month postoperative follow-up included repeated endoscopic biopsy of the graft duodenum, with no evidence of thrombosis or rejection of the graft, with glucose level within normal limits without requirement for diabetic drugs. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pancreas transplantation after liver transplantation.

Abstract
Enteric drainage has been the main trend in solitary pancreas transplantation. Compared with bladder drainage, it does not cause metabolic or urologic complications, but there is no way to perform immunologic monitoring, except by graft pancreas biopsy. Additionally, although portal drainage of the graft vein is considered physiological drainage, it has more of a risk for surgical complications. To overcome these disadvantages, we successfully performed inferior vena cava (IVC)-duodenal drainage in pancreas alone transplantation. A 44-year-old man underwent pancreas alone transplantation. He had insulin-dependent diabetes because of chronic pancreatitis, thus he had taken a pancreatic enzyme. After right-sided medial visceral rotation, the IVC was dissected for anastomosis with a graft portal vein. The right common iliac artery was anastomosed with a Y-graft in the pancreas graft. The graft duodenum was anastomosed with recipient duodenum using the side-to-side manner. Postoperatively, he underwent protocol biopsies of the graft duodenum through endoscopy two times. There was no evidence of graft thrombosis or rejection. He had a normal glucose level without any diabetic drugs, and he required no pancreatic enzyme for digestion. The IVC-duodenum drainage procedure was a feasible method for preventing thrombosis and providing an opportunity for direct graft monitoring through endoscopy.

Abstract
Liver transplantation is a potentially curative treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma. However, patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation have few treatment options and local treatment may not be feasible. Sorafenib, an orally active multikinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, significantly improves progression-free and overall survival. However, only a few studies have evaluated the efficacy of sorafenib in patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma following liver transplantation. Here, we report a case of a patient with recurrent advanced hepatocellular carcinoma after living donor liver transplantation who achieved complete remission in response to sorafenib treatment. The patient has survived for more than 4 years post-transplantation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this study we evaluated heat generation during the low-speed drilling procedure without irrigation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten artificial bone blocks that were similar to human D1 bone were used in this study. The baseline temperature was 37.0℃. We drilled into 5 artificial bone blocks 60 times at the speed of 50 rpm without irrigation. As a control group, we drilled into an additional 5 artificial bone blocks 60 times at the speed of 1,500 rpm with irrigation. The temperature changes during diameter 2 mm drilling were measured using thermocouples. RESULTS The mean maximum temperatures during drilling were 40.9℃ in the test group and 39.7℃ in the control group. Even though a statistically significant difference existed between the two groups, the low-speed drilling did not produce overheating. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that low-speed drilling without irrigation may not lead to overheating during drilling.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the bovine nephroblastoma overexpressed (NOV) gene and to evaluate whether these polymorphisms affect carcass traits in the Korean cattle population. We resequenced to detect SNPs from 24 unrelated individuals and identified 19 SNPs within the full 8.4-kb gene, including the 1.5-kb promoter region. Of these 19 SNPs, four were selected for genotyping based on linkage disequilibrium (LD). We genotyped 429 steers to assess the associations of these four SNPs with carcass traits. Statistical analysis revealed that g.7801T>C and g.8379A>C polymorphisms in the NOV gene were associated with carcass weight (p = 0.012 and 0.008, respectively), and the g.2005A>G polymorphism was associated with the back fat thickness (BF) trait (p = 0.0001). One haplotype of the four SNPs (GGTA) was significantly associated with BF (p = 0.0005). Our findings suggest that polymorphisms in the NOV gene may be among the important genetic factors affecting carcass yield in beef cattle.

A Whole Genome Association Study to Detect Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms for Blood Components (Immunity) in a Cross between Korean Native Pig and Yorkshire. ASIAN-AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCES 2014; 25:1674-80. [PMID: 25049532 PMCID: PMC4094150 DOI: 10.5713/ajas.2012.12503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2012] [Revised: 09/20/2012] [Accepted: 09/19/2012] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to detect significant SNPs for blood components that were related to immunity using high single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) density panels in a Korean native pig (KNP)×Yorkshire (YK) cross population. A reciprocal design of KNP×YK produced 249 F2 individuals that were genotyped for a total of 46,865 available SNPs in the Illumina porcine 60K beadchip. To perform whole genome association analysis (WGA), phenotypes were regressed on each SNP under a simple linear regression model after adjustment for sex and slaughter age. To set up a significance threshold, 0.1% point-wise p value from F distribution was used for each SNP test. Among the significant SNPs for a trait, the best set of SNP markers were determined using a stepwise regression procedure with the rates of inclusion and exclusion of each SNP out of the model at 0.001 level. A total of 54 SNPs were detected; 10, 6, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 10, and 6 SNPs for neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophil, basophil, atypical lymph, immunoglobulin, insulin, and insulin-like growth factor-I, respectively. Each set of significant SNPs per trait explained 24 to 42% of phenotypic variance. Several pleiotropic SNPs were detected on SSCs 4, 13, 14 and 15.

Abstract
A whole genome association (WGA) study was performed to detect significant polymorphisms for meat quality traits in an F2 cross population (N = 478) that were generated with Korean native pig sires and Landrace dams in National Livestock Research Institute, Songwhan, Korea. The animals were genotyped using Illumina porcine 60k SNP beadchips, in which a set of 46,865 SNPs were available for the WGA analyses on ten carcass quality traits; live weight, crude protein, crude lipids, crude ash, water holding capacity, drip loss, shear force, CIE L, CIE a and CIE b. Phenotypes were regressed on additive and dominance effects for each SNP using a simple linear regression model, after adjusting for sex, sire and slaughter stage as fixed effects. With the significant SNPs for each trait (p<0.001), a stepwise regression procedure was applied to determine the best set of SNPs with the additive and/or dominance effects. A total of 106 SNPs, or quantitative trait loci (QTL) were detected, and about 32 to 66% of the total phenotypic variation was explained by the significant SNPs for each trait. The QTL were identified in most porcine chromosomes (SSCs), in which majority of the QTL were detected in SSCs 1, 2, 12, 13, 14 and 16. Several QTL clusters were identified on SSCs 12, 16 and 17, and a cluster of QTL influencing crude protein, crude lipid, drip loss, shear force, CIE a and CIE b were located between 20 and 29 Mb of SSC12. A pleiotropic QTL for drip loss, CIE L and CIE b was also detected on SSC16. These QTL need to be validated in commercial pig populations for genetic improvement in meat quality via marker-assisted selection.

Abstract
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with fat deposition traits in pigs are important gene positions in a chromosome that influence meat quality of pork. For QTL study, a three generation resource population was constructed from a cross between Korean native boars and Landrace sows. A total of 240 F2 animals from intercross of F1 were produced. 80 microsatellite markers covering chromosomes 1 to 10 were selected to genotype the resource population. Intervals between adjacent markers were approximately 19 cM. Linkage analysis was performed using CRIMAP software version 2.4 with a FIXED option to obtain the map distances. For QTL analysis, the public web-based software, QTL express (http://www.qtl.cap.ed.ac.uk) was used. Two significant and two suggestive QTL were identified on SSC 6, 7, and 8 as affecting body fat and IMF traits. For QTL affecting IMF, the most significant association was detected between marker sw71 and sw1881 on SSC 6, and a suggestive QTL was identified between sw268 and sw205 on SSC8. These QTL accounted for 26.58% and 12.31% of the phenotypic variance, respectively. A significant QTL affecting IMF was detected at position 105 cM between markers sw71 and sw1881 on SSC 6.

Effects of Dietary Fat Types on Growth Performance, Pork Quality, and Gene Expression in Growing-finishing Pigs. ASIAN-AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCES 2014; 25:1759-67. [PMID: 25049542 PMCID: PMC4094162 DOI: 10.5713/ajas.2012.12416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2012] [Revised: 09/16/2012] [Accepted: 09/04/2012] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
This study was performed to determine the effects of dietary fat sources, i.e., beef tallow, soybean oil, olive oil and coconut oil (each 3% in feed), on the growth performance, meat quality and gene expression in growing-finishing pigs. A total of 72 crossbred pigs (Landrace×Large White×Duroc) were used at 71±1 kg body weight (about 130 d of age) in 24 pens (320×150 cm) in a confined pig house (three pigs per pen) with six replicate pens per treatment. The growing diet was given for periods of 14±3 d and the finishing diet was given for periods of 28±3 d. The fat type had no significant effect either on growth performance or on chemical composition or on meat quality in growing-finishing pigs. Dietary fat type affected fatty acid composition, with higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) in the olive oil group. Microarray analysis in the Longissimus dorsi identified 6 genes, related to insulin signaling pathway, that were differentially expressed among the different feed groups. Real time-PCR was conducted on the six genes in the longissimus dorsi muscle (LM). In particular, the genes encoding the protein kinase, cAMP-dependent, regulatory, type II, alpha (PRKAR2A) and the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1, beta isoform (PPP1CB) showed the highest expression level in the olive oil group (respectively, p<0.05, p<0.001). The results of this study indicate that the type of dietary fat affects fatty acid composition and insulin signaling-related gene expression in the LM of pigs.

Abstract
Recently, several authors have shown that simultaneous sinus lift and implantation using autologous platelet-rich fibrin as the sole filling material is a reliable procedure promoting bone augmentation in the maxillary sinus. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of simultaneous sinus lift and implantation using platelet-rich fibrin as the sole grafting material on bone formation in a canine sinus model. An implant was placed after sinus membrane elevation in the maxillary sinus of six adult female mongrel dogs. The resulting space between the membrane and sinus floor was filled with autologous platelet-rich fibrin retrieved from each dog. The implants were left in place for six months. Bone tissue was seen at the lower part of the implants introduced into the sinus cavity. The height of the newly formed bone around the implants ranged from 0 mm to 4.9 mm (mean; 2.6 ± 2.0 mm) on the buccal side and from 0 mm to 4.2 mm (mean; 1.3 ± 1.8 mm) on the palatal side. The findings from this study suggest that simultaneous sinus lift and implantation using platelet-rich fibrin as sole grafting material is not a predictable and reproducible procedure, especially with respect to the bone formation around the implants in the sinus cavity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Many osteoarthritis (OA) models have been developed in mice to understand OA progression and evaluate new OA therapies. However, the individual variation of the joint lesions remains a critical problem in most of the current OA models. We established an OA model in C57BL/6 mice that is more reproducible and amenable to therapeutic intervention by controlling their movement. DESIGN OA was induced in 9-week-old C57BL/6 mice by destabilizing the medial meniscus. The mice were then raised in the standard cage for free movement or in a confined cage customized to restrict movement. Mice in the confined cage were subjected to no exercise or exercise of 400, 800, and 1200 m/day. RESULTS OA lesions of mice in the confined cage were more severe in the exercise group and showed much less variation. However, the patterns of OA lesions over time were quite different depending on the amount of daily exercise; the patterns increased linearly until 8 weeks in 400 m/day exercise group, but showed plateauing after 4 weeks in 800 m/day and 1200 m/day groups. The validity of our novel OA model with movement control was proven by successfully discriminating the therapeutic effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) in histological scores, while the OA model using standard caging showed a statistically insignificant difference. CONCLUSION The mouse OA model using the confine cage and enforced periodic exercise of mice is more reproducible and reliable than standard caging methods.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the heat generation in vitro during the flapless drilling procedure using surgical drill guides. Ten resin models with bilateral edentulous tooth spaces in the first and second molars in the mandible were used in this study. On one side of the mandible, drilling was performed with a flapless approach using a surgical drill guide. On the other side of the mandible, drilling was performed with a flap approach. The temperature changes were measured during final drilling by thermocouples. The mean maximum temperatures during drilling with guided flapless procedures were 29.5 °C and 32.6 °C at the depths of 3 and 6 mm, respectively, whereas for flap procedures they were 29.4 °C and 31.3 °C. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups. These findings suggest that drilling with external irrigation in an up-and-down pumping motion may not lead to a significant increase the bone temperature during a flapless procedure using surgical drill guides.

A comparative study of the regenerative effect of sinus bone grafting with platelet-rich fibrin-mixed Bio-Oss® and commercial fibrin-mixed Bio-Oss®: an experimental study. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2013; 42:e47-50. [PMID: 23911120 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2013.05.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2012] [Revised: 05/29/2013] [Accepted: 05/30/2013] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Anorganic bovine bone (Bio-Oss®) particles are one of the most popular grafting materials. The particles are often mixed with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) or a commercial fibrin (Tisseel®) to form a mouldable graft material. The objective of this study was to compare the potentials of PRF-mixed Bio-Oss® and Tisseel®-mixed Bio-Oss® to enhance bone regeneration in a canine sinus model. Six mongrel dogs were used in this study. After elevating the sinus membrane in both maxillary sinus cavities, an implant was placed into the sinus cavity. In one of the sinus cavities, the PRF/Bio-Oss® composite was grafted, and the Tisseel®/Bio-Oss® composite was grafted in the other sinus cavity. After a 6 month healing period, bone formation in the graft sites and bone-implant contact were evaluated. The mean osseointegration rate was 43.5 ± 12.4% and new bone formation rate 41.8 ± 5.9% in the PRF/Bio-Oss® composite sites. In the Tisseel®/Bio-Oss® composite sites they were 30.7 ± 7.9% and 31.3 ± 6.4%. There were statistically significant differences between the groups. The findings from this study suggest that when platelet-rich fibrin is used as an adjunct to Bio-Oss® particles for bone augmentation in the maxillary sinus, bone formation in the graft sites is significantly greater than when Tisseel® is used.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify genetic variants in the bovine fatty acid synthase (FASN) gene and to evaluate associations with fatty acid composition from longissimus lumborum muscle using 90 purebred Hanwoo steers. Sequence alignments observed 6 genetic variants located in exons 20, 24, 32, 34, and 39, and PCR-RFLP analysis confirmed these variations. Genotypes of the g.15532A>C locus were significantly associated with Linolenic acid (C18:3), and genotypes of the g.17924G>A locus were significantly associated with Palmitic (C16:0), Palmitoleic (C16:1), Oleic (C18:1), saturated fatty acids, and unsaturated fatty acids. The analysis revealed that SFA and UFA showed significant correlations with fatty acid composition (Myristic (C14:0), Palmitic (C16:0), Stearic (C18:0), Oleic (C18:1), and Eicosenoic (C20:1) acids). Oleic acid (C18:1) was negatively correlated with Myristic (C14:0), Palmitic (C16:0), and Palmitoleic (C16:1) acids (P<0.001).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Arthritis with intra-articular inflammation was accompanied by joint pain, swelling, and stiffness leading to significant functional impairment. Thus, regulation of joint inflammation is a good therapeutic approach for patients with arthritis. In this study, the effect of low intensity ultrasound (LIUS) applied to an adjuvant-induced arthritic rat model on the synovium was investigated. DESIGN Synovial inflammation was induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-injection into the rat knee joint. LIUS (200 mW/cm(2)) was applied on the ipsilateral knee everyday for 10 min beginning 1 day after inflammation induction. The expression of proinflammatory factors and immunohistochemical staining pattern of the synovium were assessed. RESULTS CFA induced an increase of the knee circumference that was significantly diminished by LIUS. Synovial membrane hyperplasia in the ipsilateral joint was also affected by LIUS. The inflammatory mediators, COX-1/2, IL-1β, and iNOS, but not TNF-α, in the synovial membrane were induced after 3 days, and they closely correlated with the degree of edema. In the synovial membrane, the expression of inflammatory mediators was reduced by LIUS. The chemoattractant chemokine receptor CCR5 also was involved. On immunohistochemical analysis, CFA caused increased infiltration of CD11b-positive cells in the synovium. After 3 days, neutrophils, myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive cells filled the inflammatory core; later, monocytes and macrophages, ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1)-positive cells in the periphery infiltrated the core by day 5. LIUS markedly reduced CFA-induced inflammatory cells infiltration. CONCLUSION LIUS showed a potent anti-inflammatory effect in this animal arthritis model with reduced infiltration of inflammatory cells into the synovium.

Implantation of bone marrow-derived buffy coat can supplement bone marrow stimulation for articular cartilage repair. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2011; 19:1440-8.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bone marrow stimulation (BMS) has been regarded as a first line procedure for repair of articular cartilage. However, repaired cartilage from BMS is known to be unlike that of hyaline cartilage and its inner endurance is not guaranteed. The reason presumably came from a shortage of cartilage-forming cells in blood clots derived by BMS. In order to increase repairable cellularity, the feasibility of autologous bone marrow-derived buffy coat transplantation in repair of large full-thickness cartilage defects was investigated in this study. METHODS Rabbits were divided into four groups: the defect remained untreated as a negative control; performance of BMS only (BMS group); BMS followed by supplementation of autologous bone marrow buffy coat (Buffy coat group); transplantation of autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOTS) as a positive control. RESULTS Repair of cartilage defects in the Buffy coat group in a rabbit model was more effective than BMS alone and similar to AOTS. Gross findings, histological analysis, histological scoring, immunohistochemistry, and chemical assay demonstrated that supplementation of autologous bone marrow buffy coat after BMS arthroplasty effectively repaired cartilage defects in a rabbit model, and was more effective than BMS arthroplasty alone. CONCLUSION Supplementation of autologous bone marrow-derived buffy coat in cases of BMS could be a useful clinical protocol for cartilage repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Rosiglitazone is a widely used oral hypoglycaemic agent, which improves insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. Chronic rosiglitazone treatment is associated with a number of adverse cardiac events. The present study was designed to characterize the effects of rosiglitazone on cloned K(v)4.3 potassium channels. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The interaction of rosiglitazone with cloned K(v)4.3 channels stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells was investigated using whole-cell patch-clamp techniques. KEY RESULTS Rosiglitazone decreased the currents carried by K(v)4.3 channels and accelerated the current inactivation, concentration-dependently, with an IC(50) of 24.5 µM. The association and dissociation rate constants for rosiglitazone were 1.22 µM(-1)·s(-1) and 31.30 s(-1) respectively. Block by rosiglitazone was voltage-dependent, increasing in the voltage range for channel activation; however, no voltage dependence was found in the voltage range required for full activation. Rosiglitazone had no effect on either the deactivation kinetics or the steady-state activation of K(v)4.3 channels. Rosiglitazone shifted the steady-state inactivation curves in the hyperpolarizing direction, concentration-dependently. The K(i) for the interaction between rosiglitazone and the inactivated state of K(v)4.3 channels was 1.49 µM, from the concentration-dependent shift in the steady-state inactivation curves. Rosiglitazone also accelerated the kinetics of the closed-state inactivation of K(v)4.3 channels. Rosiglitazone did not affect either use dependence or recovery from inactivation of K(v)4.3 currents. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Our results indicate that rosiglitazone potently inhibits currents carried by K(v)4.3 channels by interacting with these channels in the open state and by accelerating the closed-state inactivation of K(v)4.3 channels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flapless implant surgery has been shown to accelerate recovery and increase the vascularity of the peri-implant mucosa after implant placement. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare dental implant stabilization patterns between flap and flapless implant surgeries over the first 8 weeks after implant placement. STUDY DESIGN In 6 mongrel dogs, bilateral, edentulated, and flat alveolar ridges were created in the mandible. After 3 months of healing, 2 implants (Straumann SLA-active) were placed in each side of the mandible using either a flap or flapless procedure. The implant stability quotient (ISQ) that was obtained from Osstell Mentor was measured at the time of implantation and weekly over the first 8 weeks after implant placement. RESULTS Implants stabilized more quickly without flap elevation than with flap elevation. For flapless implants, an increase in stability occurred after 2 weeks without a period of decreasing stability. However, for flap implants, a shift in implant stability from decreasing stability to increasing stability occurred after 2 weeks. CONCLUSION In the canine model, flapless surgical placement of implants may increase the initial stability of implants compared with implants placed after the reflection of the mucoperiosteal flap.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been reports of successful bone formation with sinus floor elevation induced by simply elevating the maxillary sinus membrane and filling the sinus cavity with a blood clot. PURPOSE We investigated the feasibility of maxillary sinus floor augmentation using the patient's own venous blood in conjunction with a sinus membrane elevation procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS An implant that protruded 8 mm into the maxillary sinus after sinus membrane elevation was placed in the maxillary sinus of six adult female mongrel dogs. The resulting space between the membrane and the sinus floor was filled with autologous venous blood retrieved from each dog. The implants were left in place for 6 months. RESULTS During the experimental period, the created space collapsed and the sinus membrane fell down onto the implant. A small amount of new bone formation occurred in the space created by the collapsed membrane. The average height of newly formed bone around the implants in the sinus was 2.7+/-0.7 mm on the buccal side and 0.6+/-0.3 mm on the palatal side. CONCLUSION The results of this pilot study indicate that blood clots do not have sufficient integrity to enable the sinus membrane to remain in an elevated position for therapeutically effective periods of time. Accordingly, it is recommended that this method be used only when a small amount of new bone formation is necessary around implants in the maxillary sinus cavity.

A 1-year prospective clinical study of soft tissue conditions and marginal bone changes around dental implants after flapless implant surgery. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2010; 111:41-6. [PMID: 20598591 DOI: 10.1016/j.tripleo.2010.03.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2009] [Revised: 03/03/2010] [Accepted: 03/29/2010] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite several reports on the clinical outcomes of flapless implant surgery, limited information exists regarding the clinical conditions after flapless implant surgery. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the soft tissue conditions and marginal bone changes around dental implants 1 year after flapless implant surgery. STUDY DESIGN For the study, 432 implants were placed in 241 patients by using a flapless 1-stage procedure. In these patients, peri-implant soft tissue conditions and radiographic marginal bone changes were evaluated 1 year after surgery. RESULTS None of the implants were lost during follow-up, giving a success rate of 100%. The mean probing depth was 2.1 mm (SD 0.7), and the average bleeding on probing index was 0.1 (SD 0.3). The average gingival index score was 0.1 (SD 0.3), and the mean marginal bone loss was 0.3 mm (SD 0.4 mm; range 0.0-1.1 mm). Ten implants exhibited bone loss of >1.0 mm, whereas 125 implants experienced no bone loss at all. CONCLUSION The results of this study demonstrate that flapless implant surgery is a predictable procedure. In addition, it is advantageous for preserving crestal bone and mucosal health surrounding dental implants.
