The immune system is the body’s defense mechanism against infections and is made of two pathways – the innate and adaptive pathway. The innate pathway is present from birth and is pre-programmed. The innate immune system consists of the cellular component, which includes monocytes, macrophage, and natural killer cells, and the humoral component, w…[Read more]

02, 0.007, 0.01 and 0.02 at 4mm, 8mm, 16mm and 24mm, respectively, from the incisive foramen). PBT at the most anterior paramedian locations was also lower in DS than in controls (P=0.02 and 0.03, respectively, 3mm to the right and left of midline).

In DS individuals, the most suitable area for miniscrew placement in terms of bone volume…[Read more]

Adipogenesis is closely related to human health, livestock growth, and meat quality. A previous study identified that bovine lncFAM200B promoter has high activity in 3T3-L1 mice preadipocytes. Thus, lncFAM200B was a candidate gene for regulating adipogenesis. This study aimed to uncover the role of lncFAM200B in bovine adipogenesis and identify…[Read more]

The E-cigarette market continues to expand at an alarming rate with thousands of flavours available for purchase and continuously evolving devices. Now that it is a multi-billion dollar industry and one without stringent regulation, there is rising concern over the safety of vaping products. Since June 2019, over 2800 cases of…[Read more]

In addition, we found that there are a limited number of literature on the role of CDU in reconstructive surgery, especially on its intraoperative and postoperative use. CONCLUSION  CDU is a valuable and powerful tool for any reconstructive surgeons who are interested in performing microsurgery or supermicrosurgery. As the demand of customized f…[Read more]

Purpose Correlations among the aqueous flare value (an indicator of inflammation), several functional-morphologic parameters, and aqueous humor levels of multiple cytokines or inflammatory factors were investigated in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) receiving intravitreal ranibizumab injection (IRI). Methods Aqueous humor levels of 12…[Read more]

39 ± 3.39, P = 0.000). During the follow-up, none of the patients experienced any severe complications, and the rate of vaginal erosion was 20% (12/60). The PFIQ-7 score in the 1-month follow-up decreased more than 50% and was associated with continuous pessary use [OR 20.75, P = 0.027, 95% CI (2.28, 189.27)]. CONCLUSIONS Successful pessary use…[Read more]

flecting changes in the underlying processes in the transplant. These data suggest that differential serine hydrolase pathways may be active in subclinical versus clinical rejection which requires further exploration in larger patient cohorts. Although this study focused on PR3/PRTN3, this does not preclude the possibility that other enzymes may…[Read more]
