    Notes: This study aimed to investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on the tissue reactions to commercially pure (c.p.) titanium implants placed in free autogenous bone graft by a 1-stage procedure. Eighty c.p. titanium implants were placed in the bone grafted from iliac crest to bilateral mandible of 40 Japanese white rabbits without tapping. Twenty rabbits underwent daily a HBO treatment for 60 min under 2.4 ATA during 20 consecutive days and the other untreated 20 rabbits served as controls. The implants with surrounding bone tissue were retrieved 20, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after surgery, fixated, dehydrated and embedded in resin. About 20 μm thick ground sections were prepared prior to microscopical observations. The bone area and the bone-to-implant contact inside the threads were calculated separately in the grafted bone and in the host bone for each implant. After 30 and up to 120 days, the HBO treated group showed more bone-to-implant contacts in the grafted bone as compared to the non-HBO treated group. In the host bone there were no differences observed between HBO and non-HBO treated groups. This study indicated that HBO treatment was beneficial for the tissue incorporation of c.p. titanium implants when placed immediately in free autogenous bone grafts.

    Notes: Cyclosporin A (CSA)-induced gingival overgrowth was immunohistochemistry compared with that phenytoininduced and nonspecific inflammatory gingiva, and CSA concentration was determined for dental plaque. Leu-6+ epithelial dendric cells (EDC) were found to significantly decrease in number in CSA-induced gingival overgrowth, while the ratio of HLA-DR+ EDC to Leu-6+ EDC did not change significantly. The expression of class II major histocompatibility complex antigens, such as HLA-DR, -DP and -DQ on keratinocytes did not change by CSA-treatment. Leu-4+ mononuclear cells in CSA-induced gingival overgrowth were located primarily in the connective tissue far outside the epithelium. CSA concentration was much higher in dental plaque than in blood and other tissues. Immune response thus appears to be suppressed in the epithelial layer of CSA-induced gingival overgrowth through decrease in Leu-6+ HLA-DR+ EDC and T cell infiltration, both due to CSA in dental plaque. DNA polymerase a was detected in much fewer basal keratinocytes of CSA- and phenytoininduced gingival overgrowth. Epithelial hyperplasia may thus be not due to increased keratinocyte proliferation, but rather to enhanced keratinocyte life span.

    Notes: Abstract On the assumption that neutrophils around the injection site of OK-432, a heat- and penicillin-treated lyophilized preparation of the Su strain ofStreptococcus pyogenes, enhance immunologic response through the production of Interleukin-1 (IL-1), OK-432 was injected into rat tongue, and specimens from the tongue were immunohistochemically investigated at various intervals after the injection, to clarify the process of inflammatory and immune responses at the injection site. Neutrophils and mononuclear cells appeared around the OK-432 injection site after 1 hour, increased to their maximum level at 24 hours, and then decreased from the 3rd to the 7th day. IL-1 was detected on neutrophils 3 hours after the injection, and OX-08-positive cells (suppressor/cytotoxic T cells and the majority of natural killer cells) remarkably increased. OX-39-positive cells (IL-2 receptor) appeared after 12 hours. These results suggest that neutrophils around the injection site of OK-432 at early phases of inflammation play a role in the expression of BRM function through IL-1.
