The Role of Formononetin in Osteoblast Function and Mineralization Potential with Deproteinized Bovine Bone Material.

Objectives: Dental bone formation involves various cellular and molecular mechanisms, and phytoestrogens such as formononetin (FORM) are promising because of their estrogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. This study investigated the effect of FORM on osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization in combination with spongiosa granulates (BO) in vitro.

Materials And Methods: Human fetal osteoblast cells (hFOB1.

Criteria for early diagnosis of congenitally missing second premolars based on the calcification grades of other permanent posterior teeth: a retrospective study.

Diagnosing congenitally missing second premolars (SPs) in early childhood is challenging due to variations in their calcification ages. In this study, we investigated the correlation between calcification grades of SPs and other permanent posterior teeth to aid clinicians in the early diagnosis of congenitally missing SPs. This cohort study retrospectively evaluated 6813 images from 9261 panoramic image records of children aged 42-78 months.

The importance of autologous blood transfusion in lung transplantation and cardiovascular surgeries.

Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of using autologous blood recovery systems on transfusion-related complications in patients undergoing lung transplantation and cardiovascular surgeries.

Methods: Between May 2016 and May 2019, a total of 104 patients (90 males, 14 females; mean age: 59.3±16.
