Objective: To explore the efficacy difference between electroacupuncture (EA) at "Zusanli" (ST36) and "Baihui" (GV20) for inflammatory pain and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) in rats.
Methods: In 1st part of this study, 90 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation, model (induced by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery and reperfusion), GV20 EA, ST36 EA，and sham EA groups (=16 in each group). In the 2nd part of the study, 40 male SD rats were randomized into saline injection (control), inflammatory pain model (subcutaneous injection of complete Freund's adjuvant ［CFA］ into the right paw), ST36 EA, GV20 EA, and sham EA groups (=8 in each group).

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a modified root canal filling material (MPRCF) against traditional materials, specifically zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE) and Vitapex, in treating primary molars over 6 and 12 months.
- - After evaluating 160 molars in children, results showed that both MPRCF and ZOE maintained a 100% success rate clinically and radiographically after 6 and 12 months, while Vitapex's success declined from 100% at 6 months to 94.5% at 12 months clinically, and from 80.4% to 60.7% radiographically.
- - The research concluded that MPRCF is a
Periodontal diseases, which are characterized by destruction of the connective tissues responsible for restraining the teeth within the jaw, are the main cause of tooth loss. Periodontal regeneration mediated by human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) may offer an alternative strategy for the treatment of periodontal disease. Dogs are a widely used large-animal model for the study of periodontal-disease progression, tissue regeneration, and dental implants, but little attention has been paid to the identification of the cells involved in this species.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTooth agenesis is a common craniofacial congenital malformation in humans, but little is known about the mechanisms of root resorption in this condition. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of root resorption in primary molars without successors. An animal model without permanent tooth germs was established by surgery in beagles.

Objective: To investigate the role of pulp in the root resorption of primary teeth without permanent tooth germs.
Methods: The animal model without permanent tooth germs was established by surgery in Beagle dog. The root resorption was observed by taking periapical radiographs periodically.
