Structural Comparison of Hydroxyapatite from Clam Shell Waste and Eggshell Waste Compared to Commercial Synthetic Hydroxyapatite.

Introduction: This study compares the quality of hydroxyapatite in Anadara granosa waste and laying chicken eggshell waste to commercial synthetic hydroxyapatite.

Material And Methods: This experimental research included 27 samples of hydroxyapatite derived from clam shell waste (CSW-HAP), hydroxyapatite derived from eggshell waste (ESW-HAP), and commercial synthetic hydroxyapatite, with nine samples of each. The calcination method was used to process clam shell waste and eggshell waste into hydroxyapatite, which was then compared with synthetic hydroxyapatite from Bongros® for calcium and phosphate content.

Mesenchymal stem cell secretome ameliorates over-expression of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) in animal SLE model.

Introduction: In the near future, stem cell research may lead to several major therapeutic innovations in medical practice. Secretome, a "by-product" of stem cell line cultures, has many advantages. Its easiness of storage, usage, and fast direct effect are some of those to consider.

Platelet-rich fibrin as a tissue engineering material in accelerate bone healing in rat bone defects: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Various techniques for tissue engineering have been introduced to help regenerate damaged or lost bone tissue. This study aimed to see the potential implication of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to accelerate the bone healing process in rat bone defects.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted from several electronic databases on subjects looking at the use of PRF in rat bone defects and their results in bone regeneration.

Lacrimal Gland Histopathology and Secretory Function in Sjögren's Syndrome Mice Model Treated with Lam. Leaf Extract.

Background: The pathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome involves the activation of NF- κB, producing proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1α, IL- 1β, IL-6, IL-17, and interferon-γ. Through oxidative stress, they will cause necrosis and apoptosis of lacrimal gland cells, resulting in impaired secretory function or reduced tear production. Moringa oleifera leaf extract is known to have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.

Brazilin Isolated from Caesalpina Sappan Wood Induces Intrinsic Apoptosis on A549 Cancer Cell Line by Increasing p53, caspase-9, and caspase-3.

Objective: Lung cancer is the leading cause of death among cancer patients. The majority of lung cancer is the Non-Small Lung Carcinoma (NSLC). This study evaluated the potency of brazilin isolated from Caesalpinia sappan wood to induce apoptosis on non-small lung carcinoma cell line, A549, by examining the expression of p53, caspase-9, and caspase-3.
