Comparative Outcomes of Block and Cancellous Iliac Bone Grafting in Older Unilateral Alveolar Cleft Patients.
Cleft Palate Craniofac J
August 2019
Objective: To compare osseous outcomes of block and cancellous iliac bone grafting in older unilateral alveolar cleft patients.
Design: Retrospective and observational follow-up study.
Setting: Cleft Lip and Palate Centre, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Stomatology, Nanjing Medical University, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the levels of interferon-alpha in the blood of patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) and to examine the relationship between pSS and interferon-alpha levels.
- Using ELISA and real-time PCR, researchers found that 43.24% of pSS patients had detectable levels of interferon-alpha, while all control subjects showed undetectable levels, indicating a significant difference.
- Results also showed that the mRNA expression of the interferon-alpha gene was higher in patients with pSS, suggesting an overall overexpression of interferon-alpha in these individuals.

Objective: To investigate root canal curvatures of human maxillary first premolars in buccolingual directions.
Methods: One hundred extracted permanent maxillary first premolars were used. After access preparation, a K-file was inserted into the canals and gently advanced until it reached the apical foramen.
