Article Synopsis
- - Proper technique in canalith repositioning procedures (CRP) is crucial for treating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), as errors in head positioning can lead to treatment failure; specialist-guided methods showed fewer errors compared to self-administered ones.
- - A study compared the accuracy of an inertial measurement unit sensor-based CRP (IMU-CRP) with education-based conventional CRP (EDU-CRP), finding that IMU-CRP had significantly smaller absolute errors in head rotation during BPPV maneuvers.
- - The study indicated a higher treatment success rate with IMU-CRP, achieving 100% success for the Barbeque maneuver and
It has been suggested that connexin (Cx) gap junction proteins act as tumor suppressors and green tea has a potential to prevent tumor development, however, the studies on their association with human keratinocytes were rare. We evaluated the effects of a tumor promoter, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), on the expression of Cxs and gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) in human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) and explored the preventive effects of green tea extracts-epicatechin (EC) and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). We performed neutral red dye uptake assay to determine the optimal concentrations of PMA, EC, and EGCG for this study and confirmed the expression of Cx mRNAs using RT-PCR.
