Quantitative analysis of occlusal balance in intercuspal position using the T-Scan system.

The T-Scan system was used to evaluate the distribution of time and force in occlusal balance. Sixty normal subjects demonstrated bilateral balance and an anteroposterior center of force in the first molar region. However, patients with craniomandibular disorders demonstrated marked differences from the control group. The T-Scan system was found to be clinically useful as a diagnostic screening method for occlusal stability in intercuspal position.

Mechanism for splenocyte-mitogenesis induced in mice by water-extract of coniferous slash pine.

A water extract of wood chips of coniferous slash pine induced appreciable splenocyte-mitogenesis in healthy adult, aged, and also tumour-bearing mice. Mitogenesis was induced mainly in B-cell subset of splenocytes. The induction was not mediated by IL-2 or IFN gamma released from the activated helper T-cell. It may be worth noting that this extract could be included in a new type of immunomodulator for promotion of the host defense mechanism.
