Article Synopsis
  • Laser melting deposition is a 3D printing technique primarily used in manufacturing machine parts, but its applications for producing orthopedic implants are still underexplored.
  • Researchers successfully 3D printed Ti6Al4V orthopedic plates by optimizing laser power, scanning speed, and powder feed rate to ensure quality deposition and minimize material loss.
  • The resulting implants exhibited a dense structure with a unique biphasic α+β phase and showed good cell compatibility in tests with osteoblast-like cultures, suggesting their potential use in medical applications.

We investigated the expression of cytokeratins 7 (CK7) and 20 (CK20) in nasal polyps on a group of 106 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (45 women - 42% and 61 men - 58%) who benefited from surgical procedures. Harvested biological material was analyzed in the pathology laboratory through two methods: histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis. Classical histopathological method of processing the tissues initially fixed in 10% formalin was used.
