In this study, a titanate-polyurethane-chitosan ternary nanocomposite was prepared by physical mixing. Sodium titanate nanotubes (Na-TNTs) were prepared by the hydrothermal method, and chitosan was extracted from shrimp shell. Na-TNTs were mixed with polyurethane (PU) of different ratios by weight, and chitosan was added after optimization.

The aim of the study was to compare the amount of ridge gain by the Osseodensification method with the manual bone expanders method for healed edentulous sites in the maxilla at different time intervals (immdiate postoperative and 6 mo postoperative). Two groups were equally and randomly divided with a total of 14 implants (Biohorizons) placed in the maxillary arch for 8 patients, osseodensification was used for 1 group (group 1), whereas manual threaded expanders (bone spreaders) was used for the other group (group 2).

- - This study investigated how vitexin impacts sepsis-related acute lung injury, utilizing network pharmacology and various lab experiments to assess its potential in preventing cell death and regulating specific genetic pathways.
- - The researchers created a model of acute lung injury in mice and human lung cells, discovering that vitexin effectively reduced inflammation and lung damage while enhancing cell recovery and function through multiple experimental techniques.
- - Results revealed that vitexin lowers oxidative stress and influences epigenetic factors related to inflammation, highlighting its potential as a treatment for acute lung injury and suggesting new therapeutic targets for future research.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and predictors of malignant soft tissue deposits (MSTDs) in advanced laryngeal carcinoma. MSTDs prognostic value on locoregional recurrence within 2 years after curative surgery was also studied. 40 patients with cT3/cT4 N0 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) were prospectively involved in the study.
