The present study aimed to explore variations in the efficacy of rapid expansion combined with maxillary protraction therapy in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion at different growth and development stages. Clinical records of 45 patients with skeletal class III malocclusion who underwent rapid expansion combined with maxillary protraction therapy from January 2019 to June 2022 were included in the present study. Based on the cervical vertebral maturation method (CVM), the patients were retrospectively divided into three groups: Pre-pubertal (CVM stages I-II, n=15), pubertal (CVM stage III, n=15) and post-pubertal (CVM stages IV-VI, n=15). Lateral head radiographs before and after the treatment and various bone, dental and soft tissue measurements were compared between groups to assess the differences in treatment effects. The results of the intra-group comparison before and after the treatment showed that the dental and bone indicators, such as A Point-Nasion-Point B angle, sella-nasion-A point angle, sella-nasion-B point angle, mandibular plane angle, A Point-VR plane and anterior Nasal-VR plane (ANS-VR) were significantly different compared with those before treatment in all three groups of patients (P<0.05). The posterior Nasal-VR plane (PNS-VR) changed significantly in the pre-pubertal and pubertal groups (P<0.05), but there was no significant change in the post-pubertal group. The Glabella-Pronasale-Pogonion of soft tissue and Sella-Nasion-Nasion-Bs Point angle decreased significantly post-treatment in the three groups, while the Sella-Nasion-Nasion-Sn Point angle increased (P<0.05). Intergroup comparisons before and after treatment showed that there was no significant difference in the post-treatment indexes between the pre-pubertal and pubertal groups. The changes in ANS-VR and PNS-VR values before and after treatment were statistically significant between the post-pubertal and the other two groups (P<0.05). In conclusion, rapid expansion combined with maxillary protraction therapy has the best treatment effects in patients in the pre-pubertal and pubertal stages and is associated with significant skeletal effects and less alveolar response. Although the skeletal treatment effects are less favorable in patients in the post-pubertal stage with more pronounced alveolar responses, the treatment can still provide appropriate compensation for facial deformities and reduce the likelihood of orthognathic surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":94002,"journal":{"name":"Experimental and therapeutic medicine","volume":"29 5","pages":"105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11995448/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144048589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the effect of CysLTR1 blockade on bronchial epithelial cell apoptosis and the nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway remains unclear. The present study established an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthmatic rat model. Varying doses (1, 4 and 30 mg/kg) of montelukast sodium, a specific CysLTR1 antagonist, were used to inhibit CysLTR1 function in an asthmatic rat model. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression levels of CysLTR1, NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1). CysLTR1 and Nrf2 protein expression levels were determined using western blotting. Immunofluorescence assays were used to evaluate the relative fluorescence intensity of Nrf2 in rat lung tissues. Lung tissue histology was assessed through hematoxylin & eosin, alcian blue and periodic acid-Schiff and Masson's trichrome staining assays. The levels of IL-17, IL-4, serum IgE and the reduced/oxidized glutathione ratio were determined using ELISA assay kits. The number of inflammatory cells was analyzed using Wright-Giemsa staining. Bronchial epithelial cell apoptosis was measured using a TUNEL assay. The results indicated that OVA-induced inflammatory responses and increased eosinophil, lymphocyte and macrophage counts were significantly attenuated following blockade of CysLTR1. Downregulated expression of antioxidant genes NQO1 and HO-1 and the reduced GSH/GSSG ratio caused by OVA challenge were restored by blockade of CysLTR1. Additionally, CysLTR1 blockade also reduced collagen deposition, suppressed goblet cell hyperplasia and inhibited bronchial epithelial cell apoptosis in a rat model of asthma. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the blockade of CysLTR1 could significantly increase Nrf2 expression. In conclusion, the blockade of CysLTR1 could alleviate asthma in an OVA-induced rat model by inhibiting bronchial epithelial cell apoptosis and activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway.
