Bone defect occurs as a consequence of many conditions. Diseased bones don't heal properly and defects in face area need proper bone reconstruction to avoid psychological and social problems. Tissue engineering is an emerging new modality of treatment.

The anti-osteoporotic and anti-atherogenic effects of alendronate and simvastatin in ovariectomized rats fed high fat diet: A comparative study of combination therapy versus monotherapy.

Aim: Epidemiological studies suggest a possible link between osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases. Mevalonate pathway was pointed to as a part of this link. This study was done to investigate the effects of Alendronate (Al) and Simvastatin (Sim), both act on the mevalonate pathway, on osteoporosis, dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic changes in ovariectomized (OVX) rats fed high fat diet (HFD).

Efficacy of medical ozone in attenuation of murine Schistosomiasis mansoni infection morbidity.

Mice were divided into 3 groups: non-infected control, S. mansoni infected non-treated for 10 weeks and group receiving ozone intraperitoneally for 21 days 10 weeks postinfection. Results showed that ozone therapy in chronic schistosomiasis mansoni decreased worm burden, increased number of dead eggs, decreased both mature and immature eggs, increased RBC count, improved hemoglobin concentration with reduced reticulocytes %, as well as increased lymphocyte %, decreased neutrophil % and markedly increased eosinophil %.
