Non-surgical treatment of idiopathic gingival enlargement: A case report.

Background: Idiopathic gingival enlargement is associated with plaque, but other contributing factors are unclear. The prognosis of idiopathic gingival enlargement is closely related to the patient's oral hygiene habits and regular follow-up.

Case Presentation: This article reports a case of a 32-year-old male patient with idiopathic gingival enlargement.

Immune-based combination therapy to convert immunologically cold tumors into hot tumors: an update and new insights.

As a breakthrough strategy for cancer treatment, immunotherapy mainly consists of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and other immunomodulatory drugs that provide a durable protective antitumor response by stimulating the immune system to fight cancer. However, due to the low response rate and unique toxicity profiles of immunotherapy, the strategies of combining immunotherapy with other therapies have attracted enormous attention. These combinations are designed to exert potent antitumor effects by regulating different processes in the cancer-immunity cycle.

In situ 3D bioprinting with bioconcrete bioink.

In-situ bioprinting is attractive for directly depositing the therapy bioink at the defective organs to repair them, especially for occupations such as soldiers, athletes, and drivers who can be injured in emergency. However, traditional bioink displays obvious limitations in its complex operation environments. Here, we design a bioconcrete bioink with electrosprayed cell-laden microgels as the aggregate and gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) precursor solution as the cement.

Intraosseous Injection of Calcium Phosphate Polymer-Induced Liquid Precursor Increases Bone Density and Improves Early Implant Osseointegration in Ovariectomized Rats.

Purpose: Osteoporosis, due to bone loss and structural deterioration, is a risk factor for dental implant failure, as it impedes initial stability and osseointegration. We aim to assess the effects of calcium phosphate polymer-induced liquid precursor (CaP-PILP) treatment, which significantly increases bone density and improves early implant osseointegration in ovariectomized rats.

Methods: In this study, CaP-PILP was synthesized and characterized through TEM, FTIR and XRD.
