Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how coenzyme Q (CoQ) affects bone remodeling and the movement of teeth during orthodontic treatment in female Sprague‒Dawley rats.
- The experiment involved 42 rats divided into two groups: one receiving orthodontic force alone and the other receiving orthodontic force with CoQ treatment, with measurements taken at various intervals.
- Results indicated that CoQ treatment reduced tooth movement and osteoclast numbers, improved antioxidant status, and altered factors related to bone remodeling, suggesting its potential to influence orthodontic treatment outcomes.

Research on climate-sensitive urban planning is important to improve the quality of city life. Cold climate cities should respect climatic characteristics to diversify outdoor uses and increase air quality to maximize the benefits of winter. This study is aimed to explore the impact of changing urban pattern on air pollution and outdoor human thermal comfort conditions (HTCCs) in a newly developed urban area in Şükrüpaşa neighbourhood, Erzurum, among the coldest cities in Turkey, with high PM and low HTCCs levels.
