Article Synopsis
- Epulis fissuratum is a growth caused by chronic irritation from ill-fitting dentures, requiring surgical excision and proper prosthetic fit for treatment.
- A case study of a 72-year-old female patient showed successful excision of the lesions using CO(2) laser, which effectively managed her antithrombotic medication-related risks.
- The patient had no complications post-surgery, recovered fully within 20 days, and remained free of recurrence after one year, highlighting CO(2) laser as a preferred method for lesion excision in similar cases.
We have evaluated the influence of protein kinase C (PKC) activity on penile smooth muscle tone in tissues from diabetic and nondiabetic men with erectile dysfunction. Human corpus cavernosum (HCC) strips were obtained from impotent diabetic and nondiabetic men at the time of penile prosthesis implantation and studied in organ chambers. Contractility responses to a prostanoid precursor, to prostanoids, and to the endothelium-dependent vasodilator acetylcholine were studied.
