Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted using a split-mouth design. A total of 53 participants aged 6-9 years with 97 pairs of caries-free newly erupted first permanent molars were enrolled in the study.
Protective Effects of Sesame Glycoproteins on Ultraviolet-Induced Skin Aging: In Vitro and In Vivo Studies.
Pharmaceuticals (Basel)
September 2024
Background/objectives: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a primary factor in skin photoaging, leading to wrinkles, reduced elasticity, and pigmentation changes due to damage to cellular DNA, proteins, and lipids. Glycoproteins from sesame cake (SPE) have potential protective effects against UV-induced skin aging. This study investigated the anti-photoaging effects of SPE on UV-induced damage in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells and SKH-1 hairless mice.

- Scaphoid nonunion frequently occurs after scaphoid fractures, and the study examines the effectiveness of headless compression screws (HCS) versus scaphoid plates for treatment, highlighting the challenges faced by surgeons in choosing optimal methods.
- Ninety-seven patients were treated from 2008 to 2023, with results showing that the plate fixation led to better bone union rates compared to screw fixation, particularly in specific anatomical locations of the scaphoid.
- The study concludes that scaphoid plate fixation is generally more effective than screw fixation, with significant improvements in bone healing and clinical outcomes, especially in waist and proximal nonunions.
Background And Purpose: The co-occurrence of amyloid-β pathology in Parkinson's disease (PD) is common; however, the role of amyloid-β deposition in motor prognosis remains elusive. This study aimed to investigate the association between striatal amyloid deposition, motor complications and motor prognosis in patients with PD.
Methods: Ninety-six patients with PD who underwent F florbetaben (FBB) positron emission tomography were retrospectively assessed.
