Abstract
This study investigated the potential of BioUnion filler containing glass ionomer cement (GIC) to enhance the properties of enamel surrounding restorations, with a specific focus on the effect on hardness. The hardness of the bovine enamel immersed in the cement was measured using Vickers hardness numbers. Following sliding and impact wear simulations, the enamel facets were examined using confocal-laser-scanning microscopy and scanning-electron microscopy. Surface properties were further analyzed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A significant increase in Vickers hardness numbers was observed in the BioUnion filler GIC after 2 days. Furthermore, the mean depth of enamel facets treated with BioUnion filler GIC was significantly less than that of untreated facets. Characteristic XRD peaks indicating the presence of hydroxyapatite were also observed. Our findings imply that GIC with BioUnion fillers enhances the mechanical properties of the tooth surface adjacent to the cement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Leptin receptor-positive (LepR+) periodontal ligament (PDL) cells play a crucial role in osteogenesis during tooth socket healing and orthodontic tooth movement; however, the factors regulating osteoblast differentiation remain unclear. This study aimed to demonstrate the function of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) in alveolar bone formation by examining conditional knockout (cKO) mice lacking LRP1 in LepR+ cells. DESIGN Bone mass and formation were examined via bone morphometric analysis. Bone formation and resorption activities were determined via histochemical staining. Additionally, PDL cells collected from molars were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts with the addition of BMP2 and to mineralize with the addition of osteogenic medium. Osteoblast differentiation of PDL cells was examined by measuring the expression of osteoblast markers. RESULTS Bone morphometry analysis revealed decreased mineral apposition rate and alveolar bone mass in cKO mice. Additionally, cKO mice showed a decreased number of osterix-positive cells in the PDL. cKO mice had a large number of osteoclasts around the alveolar bone near the root apex and mesial surface of the tooth. In the PDL cells from cKO mice, inhibition of mineralized matrix formation and decreased expression of alkaline phosphatase, osterix, bone sialoprotein, and osteocalcin were observed even when BMP2 was added to the medium. BMP2, BMP4, and osteoprotegerin expression also decreased, but RANKL expression increased dominantly. CONCLUSION LRP1 in LepR+ cells promotes bone formation by stimulating osteoblast differentiation. Our findings can contribute to clinical research on bone diseases and help elucidate bone metabolism in the periodontal tissue.

Abstract
Interleukin-1α (IL-1α), a cytokine released by necrotic cells, causes sterile inflammation. On the other hand, IL-1α is present in the nucleus and also regulates the expression of many proteins. A protein substrate containing a classical nuclear localization signal (cNLS) typically forms a substrate/importin α/β complex, which is subsequently transported to the nucleus. To the best of our knowledge, no study has directly investigated whether IL-1α-which includes cNLS-is imported into the nucleus in an importin α/β-dependent manner. In this study, we noted that all detected importin α subtypes interacted with IL-1α. In HeLa cells, importin α1-mediated nuclear translocation of IL-1α occurred at steady state and was independent of importin β1. Importin α1 not only was engaged in IL-1α nuclear transport but also concurrently functioned as a molecule that regulated IL-1α protein level in the cell. Furthermore, we discussed the underlying mechanism of IL-1α nuclear translocation by importin α1 based on our findings.

Abstract
Insulin plays roles in brain functions such as neural development and plasticity and is reported to be involved in dementia and depression. However, little information is available on the insulin-mediated modulation of electrophysiological activities, especially in the cerebral cortex. This study examined how insulin modulates the neural activities of inhibitory neurons and inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) in rat insular cortex (IC; either sex) by multiple whole-cell patch-clamp recordings. We demonstrated that insulin increased the repetitive spike firing rate with a decrease in the threshold potential without changing the resting membrane potentials and input resistance of fast-spiking GABAergic neurons (FSNs). Next, we found a dose-dependent enhancement of unitary IPSCs (uIPSCs) by insulin in the connections from FSNs to pyramidal neurons (PNs). The insulin-induced enhancement of uIPSCs accompanied decreases in the paired-pulse ratio, suggesting that insulin increases GABA release from presynaptic terminals. The finding of miniature IPSC recordings of the increased frequency without changing the amplitude supports this hypothesis. Insulin had little effect on uIPSCs under the coapplication of S961, an insulin receptor antagonist, or lavendustin A, an inhibitor of tyrosine kinase. The PI3-K inhibitor wortmannin or the PKB/Akt inhibitors, deguelin and Akt inhibitor VIII, blocked the insulin-induced enhancement of uIPSCs. Intracellular application of Akt inhibitor VIII to presynaptic FSNs also blocked insulin-induced enhancement of uIPSCs. In contrast, uIPSCs were enhanced by insulin in combination with the MAPK inhibitor PD98059. These results suggest that insulin facilitates the inhibition of PNs by increases in FSN firing frequency and IPSCs from FSNs to PNs. (250 words).

Abstract
PURPOSE Inhibitory synaptic currents from fast-spiking neurons (FSNs), a typical gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic interneuron in the cerebral cortex, to pyramidal neurons are facilitated by insulin. FSNs frequently show electrical synapses to FSNs, however, the effect of insulin on these electrical synapses is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of insulin on electrical synaptic potentials between FSNs. METHODS Electrical synaptic potentials via gap junctions between FSNs were recorded to examine how insulin modulates these potentials in the rat insular cortex (IC). RESULTS Bath application of insulin (10 nM), which increases the spike firing rate of pyramidal neurons and unitary inhibitory postsynaptic currents recorded from FSN to pyramidal neuron connections, slightly but significantly increased electrical synaptic currents. The mean ratio of electrical synapses, the coupling coefficient that is obtained by postsynaptic voltage responses divided by presynaptic voltage amplitude, was 8.3 ± 1.1% in control and 9.2 ± 1.1% (n = 14) during 10 nM insulin application. Input resistance and voltage responses to large hyperpolarizing currents (-140 pA) were not changed by insulin. CONCLUSION These results suggest that insulin facilitates spike synchronization by increasing electrical synaptic currents via gap junctions of GABAergic FSNs in the IC.

Abstract
Bone remodelling is the process of bone resorption and formation, necessary to maintain bone structure or for adaptation to new conditions. Mechanical loadings, such as exercise, weight bearing and orthodontic force, play important roles in bone remodelling. During the remodelling process, osteocytes play crucial roles as mechanosensors to regulate osteoblasts and osteoclasts. However, the precise molecular mechanisms by which the mechanical stimuli affect the function of osteocytes remain unclear. In the present study, we analysed viability, cell cycle distribution and gene expression pattern of murine osteocyte-like MLO-Y4 cells exposed to tension force (TF). Cells were subjected to TF with 18% elongation at 6 cycles/min for 24 h using Flexcer Strain Unit (FX-3000). We found that TF stimulation induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase but not cell death in MLO-Y4 cells. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between TF-stimulated and unstimulated cells were identified by microarray analysis, and a marked increase in glutathione-S-transferase α (GSTA) family gene expression was observed in TF-stimulated cells. Enrichment analysis for the DEGs revealed that Gene Ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways related to the stress response were significantly enriched among the upregulated genes following TF. Consistent with these results, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was elevated in TF-stimulated cells. Activation of the tumour suppressor p53, and upregulation of its downstream target GADD45A, were also observed in the stimulated cells. As GADD45A has been implicated in the promotion of G2/M cell cycle arrest, these observations may suggest that TF stress leads to G2/M arrest at least in part in a p53-dependent manner.

Abstract
Little information is available about enamel wear caused by zirconia brackets, an inadvertent side effect of orthodontic treatment. The purpose of this study was to examine potential enamel damage induced by contact with zirconia brackets. Sliding and impact wear simulations were performed using bovine enamel specimens positioned at a 25° slant to a zirconium ball to determine wear behaviour. Different chewing patterns, tapping and grinding, were simulated. Specimens were profiled using confocal laser scanning microscopy, and the mean maximum depth and surface roughness were measured. Scanning electron microscopy was also performed. The mean maximum depth of wear values differed according to the number of mastication cycles, with a higher number of cycles producing higher depths of wear. The facet wear depth was significantly greater with the tapping pattern than with the grinding pattern. Scanning electron microscopic observation of the wear facets revealed that surface textures at the edges were rougher than those at the centre of all facets. The results of this study indicated that enamel wear was induced by contact with zirconia brackets during the early period of mastication, and that the patterns and number of cycles of mastication affected the wear progression of enamel.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the torque moment that occurs between esthetic brackets and bendable alloy (stainless steel [SS], titanium-molybdenum [Ti-Mo], and titanium-niobium [Ti-Nb]) wires. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study examined ceramic (CR), zirconium oxide (ZC), polycarbonate (PC), and conventional metallic brackets (MT) (upper, 0.018-inch and 0.022-inch slots) combined with SS, Ti-Mo, and Ti-Nb wires using elastic module ligation. The torque moments delivered by various wire and bracket combinations were measured using a torque gauge apparatus. The wire torque angles at 5-40° were examined. RESULTS The torque value increased in the order of CR, ZC, MT, and PC brackets for both 0.018-inch and 0.022-inch slots. The fracture points of the CR and ZC brackets combined with SS and Ti-Mo wires were approximately more than 30° and 35°, respectively. No fracture points were detected in the combination of ZC brackets and Ti-Nb wires. CONCLUSIONS The current study identified the material characteristics of CR, ZR, and PC brackets during torque tooth movements. The present results demonstrate a characteristic combined effect between different esthetic brackets and bendable alloy wires.

Abstract
Objective: Pain is a problem during bracket removal, and more comfortable treatment is needed. This study examined the association of pain with the removal force required for ceramic brackets, compared with metal and plastic brackets, to determine which removal method resulted in less pain and discomfort. Methodology: 81 subjects (mean age, 25.1 years; 25 males and 56 females) were enrolled, from whom 1,235 brackets (407 ceramic, 432 plastic, and 396 metal) were removed. Measured teeth were distinguished at six segments. Pain was measured with a visual analogue scale (VAS) during the removal of each bracket. An additional grip was placed on the grips of debonding pliers with right-angled beaks; a mini loading cell sensor pinched by the grips was used to measure removal force during debonding. VAS and force values were statistically analyzed. The Kruskal–Wallis test followed by the Mann–Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction were performed for multiple comparisons; multiple regression analysis was also performed. Results: Forces in the upper and lower anterior segments were significantly smaller (p<0.05) than those in the other segments. Pain tended to be greater in the upper and lower anterior segments than in the posterior segments. In all segments, the removal force was greater for metal brackets than for plastic or ceramic brackets. Ceramic brackets caused significantly greater pain than plastic brackets for the upper and lower anterior segments. Debonding force was involved in the brackets, following adjustments for pain, upper left segment, age, and sex. Conclusions Pain and discomfort are likely to occur during bracket debonding.

Abstract
Percutaneous treatment of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) to the site of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) transection promotes functional regeneration, but the detailed mechanism is unknown. We examined the involvement of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), which primarily binds with tropomyosin receptor kinase C (TrkC), in functional transected IAN regeneration following LIPUS treatment in rats. Daily LIPUS treatment to the transected IAN was performed, and the mechanical sensitivity of the facial skin was measured for 14 d. On day 5 after IAN transection, the expression of NT-3 in the transected IAN and TrkC-positive trigeminal ganglion neurons were immunohistochemically examined. Further, the effect of TrkC neutralization on the acceleration of facial mechanosensory disturbance restoration due to LIPUS treatment was analyzed. LIPUS treatment to the site of IAN transection significantly facilitated functional recovery from sensory disturbance on facial skin. Schwann cells in the transected IAN expressed NT-3, and LIPUS treatment increased the amount of NT-3. The facilitated recovery from the mechanosensory disturbance by continuous LIPUS treatment was inhibited by the ongoing TrkC neutralization at the IAN transection site. These results suggest that LIPUS treatment accelerates the recovery of orofacial mechanosensory function following IAN transection through the enhancement of NT-3 signaling in the transected IAN.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the stability of orthodontic anchor screws (OASs) in the mid-palatal area according to pre-drilling diameter. METHODS The success rate of 161 OASs (83 patients, φ2.0 mm, 6.0 mm in length) placed in a corresponding area to the mesial and distal borders of the first molar (mesial zone and distal zone) was assessed according to placement location and pre-drilling diameter (1.2 and 1.5 mm). Placement torque values from 73 OASs with a pre-drilling diameter of 1.2 mm were compared between success and failure groups. RESULTS The success rates of OASs pre-drilled with φ1.2 and 1.5 mm were 94.5% and 83.0%, respectively (P < 0.05); corresponding rates in the mesial zone were 100.0% and 77.3% (P < 0.005), and those in the distal zone were 89.2% and 88.6%, respectively. Placement torques of OASs predrilled with φ1.2 mm in the success and failure groups were 25.9 and 19.2 N·cm, respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION A smaller pre-drilling diameter was associated with a higher success rate of OASs in the mid-palatal area, especially in the mesial zone. When pre-drilling diameter of 1.2 mm was used for φ2.0 mm OAS, greater placement torque was indicative of greater OAS stability.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the acid-electrolyzed functional water (FW)-mediated cytokine release in an oral squamous cell carcinoma-derived cell line (OSCC) following treatment with FW. FW is generated by the electrolysis of a sodium chloride solution and accelerate the burn wound healing. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, the cytokine/chemokine secretion profile of HSC3 cells was examined using a cytokine array. FW treatment significantly induced interleukin (IL)-1α secretion, which was confirmed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Subsequently, the HSC3 cells were pre-treated with cycloheximide (CHX) for 1 h prior to FW stimulation to determine whether the augmented IL-1α secretion was due to enhanced protein synthesis. CHX pre-treatment did not affect IL-1α secretion suggesting that the secreted IL-1α might have been derived from intracellular storage sites. The amount of IL-1α in the cell lysate of the FW-treated HSC3 cells was significantly lower than that of the non-treated cells. Immunofluorescence staining using a polyclonal antibody against full-length IL-1α revealed a drastic reduction in IL-1α inside the FW- treated cells. IL-1α is synthesized in its precursor form (pIL-1α) and cleaved to produce pro-piece and mature IL-1α (ppIL-1α and mIL-1α) inside the cells. In the present study, only pIL-1α was detected within the HSC3 cells in its resting state. However, FW stimulation resulted in the release of the 33 kDa and two other smaller forms (about 19 kDa) of the protein. These results indicates that FW treatment induces IL-1α secretion, a typical alarmin, from the intracellular storage in OSCC cells.

Abstract
This study used finite element (FE) analysis to investigate the stability of miniscrews (screws) placed at the median palate. FE models with variable suture maturity and screw-suture distances were used to examine the relationship with screw stability. Four groups were classified by extent of maturation of the midpalatal suture (0%, 60%, 75%, and 100%). The placement position was set at the center of the suture (0.0 mm), or 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm to the side of the suture, and von Mises stress values in bone and screw displacement were compared among models. The stress value for the unsutured model, in which the screw was placed at the center of the suture, was greater than 30 MPa. Stress values for models in which screws were placed to the side (0.5-1.5 mm) were less than 28 MPa. Maximum screw displacement was greater in the 0.0-mm incomplete suture model than at other placement positions. Because bone conditions vary among patients, placement position and suture maturation should be examined on cone beam-computed tomography images, to ensure screw stability.

Abstract
Chemical transitions after atmospheric pressure plasma irradiation were investigated by evaluating intermolecular attractions and atomic and molecular reactions. Gold, titanium and stainless-steel alloy samples were ground with #800 grit SiC waterproof paper and nitrogen gas atmospheric plasma irradiation was conducted. The surface free energies of the treated alloys were calculated and compared statistically. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis was performed.The surface free energies of all metal surfaces treated by plasma irradiation were 1.5-times higher than those of the untreated metals. The energy of the hydrogen bonding component increased, and all alloy surfaces were coated with metal oxide after only a short period of plasma irradiation. The surfaces oxidized by plasma exhibited a high active energy, mainly due to an increase in the hydrogen bonding component. Reactions with oxygen in the air were promoted on the clean surfaces with exposed reactive elements.

Abstract
Interleukin-1α (IL-1α) is produced inside cells in its precursor form (pIL-1α). Enzymatic cleavage yields mature (mIL-1α) and the propiece of IL-1α (ppIL-1α), which are thought to be localized in the nucleus, because of the presence of nuclear localizing signals. Studies of ppIL-1α function have been hampered by the lack of a ppIL-1α-specific antibody (Ab). In the present study, the authors generated anti-ppIL-1α Ab by using recombinant histidine-tagged ppIL-1α (His-ppIL-1α) as an immunogen. Rabbits were immunized with His-ppIL-1α, and affinity-purified Ab was obtained. Ab reactivity and specificity were examined by Western blotting. The antibody successfully recognized transfectant-derived green fluorescence protein (GFP)-tagged ppIL-1α but not GFP. A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system established by biotinylating the anti-ppIL-1α Ab successfully detected GFP-ppIL-1α. The Ab and ELISA system allows functional analysis of ppIL-1α and improves understanding of ppIL-1α.

Abstract
Background Osteoclast precursor cells are constitutively differentiated into mature osteoclasts on bone tissues. We previously reported that the continuous stimulation of RAW264.7 precursor cells with compressive force induces the formation of multinucleated giant cells via receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK)-RANK ligand (RANKL) signaling. Here, we examined the bone resorptive function of multinucleated osteoclasts induced by continuous compressive force. Material/Methods Cells were continuously stimulated with 0.3, 0.6, and 1.1 g/cm2 compressive force created by increasing the amount of the culture solution in the presence of RANKL. Actin ring organization was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy. mRNA expression of genes encoding osteoclastic bone resorption-related enzymes was examined by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Mineral resorption was evaluated using calcium phosphate-coated plates. Results Multinucleated osteoclast-like cells with actin rings were observed for all three magnitudes of compressive force, and the area of actin rings increased as a function of the applied force. Carbonic anhydrase II expression as well as calcium elution from the calcium phosphate plate was markedly higher after stimulation with 0.6 and 1.1 g/cm2 force than 0.3 g/cm2. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression decreased and cathepsin K expression increased slightly by the continuous application of compressive force. Conclusions Our study demonstrated that multinucleated osteoclast-like cells induced by the stimulation of RAW264.7 cells with continuous compressive force exhibit high dissolution of the inorganic phase of bone by upregulating carbonic anhydrase II expression and actin ring formation. These findings improve our understanding of the role of mechanical load in bone remodeling.

Abstract
Acid-electrolyzed functional water (FW) is obtained through the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution. Stimulation of the human fibroblastic cell line HeLa by FW led to the augmented secretion of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Immunoprecipitation followed by Western blot analysis revealed that both high and low molecular weight isoforms of bFGF were secreted in response to FW treatment. To explore intracellular bFGF localization, a cell fractionation assay was performed. Despite the presence of nuclear localization signals within the N-terminal portion of these proteins, the high molecular weight isoforms (34, 24, 22.5, and 21 kDa) were localized in the cytoplasm. FW stimulation drastically reduced the amount of intracytoplasmically localized isoforms, and the 34-kDa isoform was found to localize in a DNase-sensitive fraction, suggesting a weak nuclear attachment. By contrast, the 24-kDa isoform remained in the nucleus even after FW stimulation. Functional differences between the 34- and 18-kDa isoforms were examined further. Chinese hamster ovary cells were transfected with expression plasmids for each isoform. By treating each transfectant with FW, both isoforms were secreted successfully into the culture supernatants. Stimulation of HeLa cells with these supernatants resulted in the augmented secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). To further confirm the functionality of these isoforms, an in vitro transcription/translation reaction was performed; both of the isoforms induced VEGF secretion from HeLa cells. Taken together, these results indicate that the high molecular weight 34-kDa isoform and low molecular weight 18-kDa mature bFGF isoform have identical roles in VEGF induction.

Abstract
During orthodontic treatment, binding teeth, may change the topographically organized representation of teeth in the cerebral cortex. To test the hypothesis that experimental tooth movement (ETM) changes the somatotopy of an individual tooth arrangement in the somatosensory cortex, we examined the spatiotemporal features of cortical excitatory propagation in response to mechanical stimulation of the maxillary incisor or molar using optical imaging in late adolescent rats without or with ETM. The ETM models consisted of 1d, 3d, and 7d ETM in which a closed-coil spring was ligated between the maxillary first molar and incisors. In controls, incisor and molar mechanical stimulation evoked excitation in the rostral and dorsocaudal regions of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1), respectively. In addition, the secondary somatosensory cortex and insular oral region (S2/IOR) were also activated. Incisor stimulation-induced excitatory regions in S1 of 3d and 7d ETM shifted without changing the maximum excitatory area or peak amplitude; the incisor stimulation-responding region moved toward the dorsocaudal region, which responded to molar stimulation in the control. This shift in excitatory region was not observed in 1d ETM. One day after removal of the coil spring that was attached for 6 days, the excitatory region shift in S1 was recovered to the control region. On the other hand, 1d ETM exhibited facilitation of the excitatory area and peak amplitude upon molar stimulation, and the facilitation of excitatory propagation disappeared in 3d and 7d ETM. These results may explain the clinical finding that abnormal sensation temporally occurs during orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
The purpose of this experiment was to investigate whether low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) irradiation can inhibit dentoalveolar ankylosis in transplanted rat teeth. LIPUS irradiation (the pulsed ultrasound signal had a frequency of 3.0 MHz, a spatial average intensity of 30 mW/cm2, and a pulse ratio of 1:4) was performed on the face over the re-planted teeth of rats for 4 weeks. After the rats were euthanized, we measured mobility (Periotest value [PTV]) of the transplanted and control teeth using a Periotest. Finally, we performed histological evaluation to detect ankylosis. PTVs tended to be significantly lower for re-planted teeth than for control teeth. Histological evaluation revealed that the roots of all re-planted teeth were coalescent with alveolar bone. Furthermore, no ankylosis was observed in three-fifths of the re-planted teeth following LIPUS irradiation. These results indicate the potential efficacy of LIPUS to inhibit dentoalveolar ankylosis.

Abstract
This study examined the relationship of vertical and horizontal changes in the alveolar bone crest with upper incisor movement after orthodontic treatment. Tooth movement was measured on lateral cephalograms. Vertical and horizontal changes in the median alveolar crest and distance from the cementoenamel junction and anterior nasal spine to the alveolar crest were measured with cone-beam computed tomography. The incisal edge moved distally, and the cervical point intruded significantly and moved distally. The median alveolar crest decreased by 3.80 ± 2.05 mm. The distance from the labial cementoenamel increased significantly, by 0.35 ± 0.38 mm. The vertical distance from the anterior nasal spine decreased significantly, and the alveolar crest moved distally. Vertical tooth movement was positively associated with change in the distance from the labial cementoenamel junction and inversely associated with vertical change in the distance from the anterior nasal spine on the labial and palatal sides. Lingual tooth movement was positively and negatively correlated with horizontal changes in the labial and palatal alveolar crest and vertical change in the palatal alveolar crest. The lingual movement of incisors was related to labial bone resorption. Greater lingual and extrusive movement of incisors led to a greater decrease in the alveolar bone crest.

Abstract
This study investigated guidelines for placement of monocortical screws in the mandible, particularly the mandibular canal. In this study of 35 patients, we used cone-beam computed tomography to determine the distance from the alveolar crest to the superior border of the mandibular canal (DMC) and the shortest distance from the buccal and lingual cortex to the mandibular canal (attaining distance) in the areas between premolars (premolar area), between the second premolar and first molar (middle area), and between the first and second molars (molar area). The DMC values for these areas were 16.55, 18.94, and 16.58 mm, respectively, and were similar in adults and adolescents. When the attaining distance was 8 mm, the heights on the buccal and lingual sides of the areas were 9 and 16.6 mm, 13.7 and 14.7 mm, and 15.3 and 12 mm, respectively. Risk of proximity to the mandibular canal should be considered at above heights or greater when an orthodontic anchorage device (OAD) 8 mm in length is placed. Careful attention is needed for placements on lingual side in adolescents. By reducing the OAD length to 6 mm, placement safety increases in all areas except the premolar area, especially on the buccal side.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of a bite-jumping appliance combined with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulation on the mandibular condyle of growing rats using micro CT (mCT) and histological examinations. Twelve Wistar rats were divided into three groups of four individuals each: Group 1 was an untreated control group, Group 2 received bite-jumping appliances, and Group 3 received bite-jumping appliances and LIPUS stimulation (15 min/day, 2 weeks) to the temporomandibular region. We measured the length and three-dimensional bone volume of each rat's mandibular condyle using mCT. The condylar cartilage was observed after the rats had been sacrificed. There was no significant difference in condylar sagittal width among the groups. The bite-jumping appliance combined with LIPUS stimulation increased the condylar major axis, mandibular sagittal length and condylar bone volume to a greater degree than use of the bite-jumping appliance alone. Histological examination demonstrated hypertrophy of the condylar cartilage layers, the fibrous layer and hypertrophic cell layer of the rats treated with bite-jumping appliances combined with LIPUS stimulation in comparison to rats treated with bite-jumping appliances alone.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of proximity of the root apex to the maxillary labial cortical plate, palatal cortical plate, and incisive canal cortical plate on apical root resorption. Cone-beam computed tomography was used to measure the amount of root resorption and root apex movement around maxillary right and left central incisors in 30 adults who underwent four-bicuspid extraction followed by treatment with multibracket appliances. The patients were divided into three groups on the basis of the direction of root apex movement, after which the correlation between the amount of root resorption and root apex movement was determined. Mean apical root resorption was 1.80 ± 0.82 mm (range, 0.18-3.96 mm). The amount of root apex movement was positively correlated with the amount of root resorption on the side of pressure. Root apex proximity to the maxillary labial cortical plate, palatal cortical plate, and incisive canal cortical plate was associated with apical root resorption. Orthodontic treatment plans should carefully consider root proximity to the maxillary cortical plate. (J Oral Sci 58, 231-236, 2016).

Abstract
Background: Electrolytically-generated acid functional water (FW) is obtained by electrolyzing low concentrations of saline. Although it has been widely used in clinical practice with various purposes, the underlying mechanisms of action involved have not been fully elucidated so far. We used the human cervical cancer-derived fibroblastic cell line (HeLa), to examine the cytokine secretion profile following FW treatment in the present study. Results: FW stimulation significantly induced the secretion of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN). The effect of both factors on osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells was further examined by stimulating the cells with the conditioned medium of FW-stimulated HeLa cells. However, the conditioned medium failed to induce IL-6 secretion. The MC3T3-E1 cells were further stimulated with recombinant bFGF or EMMPRIN or a combination of both factors. Intriguingly, bFGF-stimulated IL-6 induction was totally inhibited by EMMPRIN. Pretreatment with the specific inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) drastically inhibited IL-6 secretion indicating that bFGF-induced IL-6 expression was dependent on NF-κB activation. The phosphorylation status of NF-κB p65 subunit was further examined. The results indicated that EMMPRIN inhibited bFGF-induced NF-κB p65 phosphorylation. Conclusions: These findings suggest that bFGF can induce IL-6 secretion in MC3T3-E1 cells through NF-κB activation. As EMMPRIN inhibited bFGF-induced IL-6 secretion by reducing the p65 subunit phosphorylation, it might be concluded that bFGF and EMMPRIN crosstalk in their respective signaling pathways.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Class III relationships can be corrected with single-jaw or bimaxillary surgery. The purpose of this research was to assess patient satisfaction after bimaxillary surgery, compared with setback surgery alone, for Class III corrections. Identifying patients' relative levels of satisfaction will provide guidance for the selection of surgical options. METHODS The cephalometric outcomes for 25 patients who underwent 2-jaw surgery were compared with the outcomes in 40 patients who had mandibular setback. Soft and hard tissue changes were evaluated using initial and postsurgical lateral cephalograms. The patients were asked to complete self-administered questionnaires after orthognathic treatment. Correlations between cephalometric improvement and patient satisfaction were evaluated. RESULTS The patients in the 2-jaw group reported significantly higher satisfaction in the appearance of the mouth (P <0.05), smile (P <0.05), and treatment outcome (P <0.001). These item scores and the changes in ANB, ANS-M, and nasolabial angle showed strong correlations in the 2-jaw group and moderate correlations in the 1-jaw group. CONCLUSIONS ANS-M and nasolabial angle should be considered in the conventional diagnosis of skeletal Class III orthognathic surgery to obtain adequate correction of facial esthetics and patient satisfaction. Esthetic needs contribute to surgical decisions when treating patients with skeletal Class III malocclusions and dentofacial deformities such as maxillary deficiency and long facial height that causes a turned-up upper lip.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was performed to determine the accuracy of measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) and cortical bone thickness (CBT) at miniscrew implantation sites in small animals and to verify the usefulness of in vivo microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Rat femurs were scanned before and after placing miniscrews using in vivo micro-CT. The images were superimposed using a subtraction method with bone volume measurement software. At each screw site, the total BMD was calculated as the average BMD of a cylinder 1.6 mm in diameter and 2.0 mm in depth, while the cortical BMD was the average BMD of a cylinder 1.6 mm in diameter and 1.0 mm in depth. CBT was measured three times on transaxial images of the rat femurs, and the average value was used. All miniscrews were placed using the maximum torque, verified with a digital torque tester. To verify the usefulness and accuracy of in vivo micro-CT, CBT on micro-CT images was compared with that measured on histologic sections. RESULTS Significant correlations were observed between placement torque and cortical BMD (R = 0.572), total BMD (R = 0.732), and CBT (R = 0.788). There was a significant correlation between CBT measured via field-emission scanning electron microscopy images and CBT measured with in vivo micro-CT (R = 0.974). CONCLUSIONS The BMD over a narrow range can be measured accurately in small animals with high reproducibility of the trabecular structure using a combination of high-resolution in vivo micro-CT and image superimposition using a three-dimensional subtraction method.

Abstract
We assessed the stability of orthodontic mini-implants in young rats. Male rats with mean ages of 6 weeks (n = 16) and 20 weeks (n = 16) were divided into four groups (n = 8 each). In the 6- and 20-week immediate-loading groups, immediately after placement, mini-implants were exposed to an experimental traction force for 2 weeks. In the 6- and 20-week healing groups, the force was applied for 2 weeks after a 6-week healing period. Right tibiae served as the test limbs and the left tibiae as controls. A Periotest device was used to measure mini-implant mobility after traction, and Tukey's test was used to compare Periotest values among groups. The results showed significantly greater mobility in the 6-week immediate-loading group than in the 20-week immediate-loading and 6- and 20-week healing groups, and significantly less mobility in the 6-week healing group than in the 20-week immediate-loading group (P < 0.05). Mini-implants were stable during the healing period. The results indicate that mini-implants can be used for orthodontic anchorage in juvenile patients if the duration of healing is sufficient.

Abstract
This study aimed to show the effects of metal artifacts on the in vivo micro-CT of mini-implants by measuring bone volume. We drilled a hole in the cortical bone of a rat tibia and embedded a titanium orthodontic mini-implant (diameter, 1.5 mm) in the hole. Twelve individually weighed hydroxyapatite grains (HA grains) were placed around the implant either by one dentist (method 1) or separately by 12 dentists (method 2). In vivo micro-CT was used to scan the model after placement of each grain to measure increases and decreases in bone volume voxel number. The subtracted bone voxel volume increased with HA weight in both methods. Simple linear regression analysis showed a significant correlation between weight and volume in both methods (method 1: regression coefficient: 516.502, P < 0.05; method 2: regression coefficient: 4837.432, P < 0.05). Metal artifacts did not appear to influence measurements of bone volume, although further studies are required to determine the effect of thicker implants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the stimulatory effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the stability of mini-implants in rat tibiae. BACKGROUND DATA In adolescent patients, loosening is a notable complication of mini-implants used to provide anchorage in orthodontic treatments. Previously, the stimulatory effects of LLLT on bone formation were reported; here, it was examined whether LLLT enhanced the stability of mini-implants via peri-implant bone formation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-eight titanium mini-implants were placed into both tibiae of 6-week-old male rats. The mini-implants in the right tibia were subjected to LLLT of gallium-aluminium-arsenide laser (830 nm) once a day during 7 days, and the mini-implants in the left tibia served as nonirradiated controls. At 7 and 35 days after implantation, the stability of the mini-implants was investigated using the diagnostic tool (Periotest). New bone volume around the mini-implants was measured on days 3, 5, and 7 by in vivo microfocus CT. The gene expression of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 in bone around the mini-implants was also analyzed using real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction assays. The data were statistically analyzed using Student's t test. RESULTS Periotest values were significantly lower (0.79- to 0.65-fold) and the volume of newly formed bone was significantly higher (1.53-fold) in the LLLT group. LLLT also stimulated significant BMP-2 gene expression in peri-implant bone (1.92-fold). CONCLUSIONS LLLT enhanced the stability of mini-implants placed in rat tibiae and accelerated peri-implant bone formation by increasing the gene expression of BMP-2 in surrounding cells.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between masseter muscle size and craniofacial morphology, focusing on the maxilla. Twenty-four patients (11 males and 13 females; mean age 27.6 ± 5.6 years) underwent cephalometric analyses. Ultrasonography was used to measure the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the masseter muscle and bite force was measured using pressure sensitive film. The results showed that CSA-relaxed was positively correlated with upper anterior face height (UAFH)/total anterior face height (TAFH) and negatively with lower anterior face height (LAFH)/TAFH and LAFH (P < 0.05). CSA-clenched was correlated positively with SN-palatal, FH-palatal, UAFH/TAFH, and lower posterior face height (LPFH)/total posterior face height (TPFH) and negatively with LAFH/TAFH, LAFH, upper posterior face height (UPFH)/TPFH, and UPFH (P < 0.05). Bite force was positively correlated with LPFH/TPFH and negatively with UPFH/TPFH (P < 0.05). As the masseter became larger, the anterior maxillary region tended to shift downwards relative to the cranial base, whereas the posterior region tended to shift upwards. The decrease in LAFH/TAFH and increase in LPFH/TPFH as the size of the masseter muscle increases may be influenced not only by the inclination of the mandibular plane but also by the clockwise rotation of the maxilla.

Abstract
Cortical bone thickness (CBT) was evaluated at mini-implant placement sites in 65 orthodontic patients and was found to be directly proportional to the success rate of the mini-implant. The success rate of the mini-implant was significantly greater at sites with CBT> or =1.0mm. To examine the biomechanical effects of CBT, finite element models were made for CBT from 0.5 to 1.5mm, at 0.25-mm intervals. Cortical bone models without cancellous bone were constructed to examine the biomechanical influence on cortical bone after cancellous bone resorption. CBT influenced the stresses in the cancellous bone, but could not directly influence the stresses in the cortical bone. For CBT<1mm, the cancellous bone models exhibited von Mises stresses exceeding 6MPa, and the cortical bone models without cancellous bone showed von Mises stresses exceeding 28MPa. Greater CBT values were associated with higher mini-implant success rates. This morphometric study and mathematical simulation verify that a clinical CBT threshold of 1mm improves the success rate of mini-implants.
