In vivo assessment of APPJ discharge on the earthworm: coelomic TAC and MDA levels, cell death, and tissue regeneration.

The effective medical applications of cold atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) have been reported by many researchers, including sterilization of liquid and solid surfaces, treatment of chronic wounds, treatment of cancer tumors, and blood clots. Therefore, in this study, we exposed Aporrectodea trapezoides and Eisenia fetida earthworms to APPJ discharge (0-30 s) to evaluate the impacts on regeneration of missed segments, apoptosis, lipid peroxidation (LPo), catalase activity (CAT), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total proteins, and protein profile. Results showed APPJ induced significant effects on regeneration ability of earthworms after 20 and 30 s of exposure (p < 0.

Effect of stress, anxiety and depression on unstimulated salivary flow rate and xerostomia.

Unstimulated salivary flow rate can be influenced by different factors. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of stress, anxiety and depression on unstimulated salivary flow rate in adults. A total of 247 adult subjects, randomly selected from patients referring to Zanjan Dental School, were included in this investigation.

Central ameloblastoma with a peripheral ameloblastoma-like component: a case report.

Amebloblastoma as the most common epithelial odontogenic neoplasm may occur in two forms of central and peripheral. This report presents a case of a 41-year-old Iranian female with a six-month complaint from a painless mass in the right posterior portion of the mandible. The case was diagnosed as an exophytic epulis-like peripheral component with characteristics of peripheral ameloblastoma and an intrabony component like solid ameloblastoma.
