Evaluation of the Effects of ß-Adrenergic Receptor-Propranolol on Osseointegration of the Titanium Implants.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of systemic propranol on the osseointegration of titanium implants. After the surgical insertion of titanium implants into the metaphyseal part of the tibial bone, the rats were randomly divided into 2 equal groups: the control (CNT) (n = 10) and propranol group (P) (n = 10); CNT: Rats received no further treatment during the 4 week experimental period after surgery. Rats received 10 mg/kg propranol in every day during the 4 week experimental period in PRP group after the surgical insertion of the implants.

The effects of metformin on the bone filling ration around of TiAlVa implants in non diabetic rats.

Objectives: In this research it was aimed to that evaluation of the effects of systemic metformin administration on the periimplant bone tissue response of TiAlVa implants in experimental rat model.

Materials And Method: Firstly TiAlVa implants were inserted surgically in the metaphyseal part of the tibial bone and after, the rats were randomly separated into two groups: Controls (CNT) (n = 10) and Metformin group (M) (n = 10). No additional treatment was applied to the controls during the 4-week experimental period.

Evaluation of the accuracy of the mechanical torque wrench by the number of uses and ratchet type.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of mechanical torque rachet types based on the number of uses.

Methods: A total of 25 ratchets, including three frictional- and two spring-type torque ratchets from every mechanical torque ratchet group, were used in our study. A digital torque measurement device was used in assessing the efficiency of mechanical torque ratchets.

Vertical Bone Augmentation Using Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells: An In Vivo Study in the Rabbit Calvaria.

Purpose: To evaluate the bone regeneration capacity of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) in vertical guided augmentation of bone tissue.

Material And Methods: The calvaria of 20 rabbits were vertically augmented with autogenous bone graft (ABG); collagen/beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) linked scaffold transplanted with 15 × 10 BMSCs; or scaffold alone (control). The augmentation materials were covered with stainless steel domes.

Acute hemiscrotum due to inguinoscrotal Littre hernia: a case report.

Meckel diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract that is generally asymptomatic and only manifests in a specific way when complications exist. An unusual complication of MD is known as Littre hernia. It comprises less than 1% of all MD.

Comparison of brucella and non-specific epididymorchitis: gray scale and color Doppler ultrasonographic features.

Objective: The aim of this study is to find out if it is possible to differentiate between brucellar and non-specific epididymorchitis by comparing ultrasonography (US) and color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) findings.

Material And Methods: Fifty-six patients diagnosed to have epididymorchitis both clinically and ultrasonographically were included to study. All of the patients were investigated serologically for brucella.
