INFLUENCE OF VARIOUS FACTORS ON THE VITAMIN D LEVELS IN MENOPAUSAL WOMEN LIVING IN KVEMO KARTLI.

The aim of the study was to study the level of vitamin D in menopausal women living in Kvemo Kartli region; to determine the relationship between various factors and vitamin D deficiency; to formulate recommendations about efficient preventive activities based on epidemiologic study results. Research methods and materials: Cross-sectional (prevalence) research was conducted in three different medical institutions in Rustavi with a high number of patients. The study population involved women aged 47-54 years who had not received vitamin D supplements or other food supplements in the last 2 months.

Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation attenuates growth of chemotherapy treated oral squamous cell carcinoma in an animal model.

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated mesenchymal stem cell migration toward tumor locations. When applied locally, MSCs interact with the locally residing host cells. The mechanisms behind this are still unclear.

NEW METHOD OF BONE AUGMENTATION DU-RING DENTAL IMPLANTATION IN LAB ANIMALS.

The success of surgical treatment of maxillo-facial bone defects depends on bone regeneration ability. Bone volume can be restored by surgical implantation of various biomaterials, which have ability either to accomplish mechanically the function of bone or to produce the induction effect on bone regeneration process. Latest advancements in tissue engineering are enabling to find new materials with significantly less disadvantages than the currently used osteoplastic materials.

Benign osteoblastoma of the mandible in a 12-year-old female: A case report.

Benign osteoblastoma refers to a benign tumor of the bone. Osteoblastoma most commonly affects the vertebrae and long tubular bones, however, in rare cases is observed in the facial bones. The current study presents the case of a 12-year-old female patient with a tumor in the mandibular body.

Restoration of jaw bone tissue defect using osteoplastic material.

Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to repair mandibular bone defect using BIO-OSS artificial bone implantation. The experiment was conducted on 30 white laboratory rats. Defect in the bone of lower jaw was created surgically.
