Objective: To investigate whether and how ginsenoside Rg1/ADSCs supplemented with hyaluronic acid as the matrix can improve rabbit temporomandibular joint osteoarthrosis.
Method: Isolate and culture adipose stem cells, measure the activity of differentiated chondrocytes by MTT assay and expression of type II collagen in these cells by immunohistochemistry, in order to evaluate the effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on adipose stem cell proliferation and differentiation into chondrocytes.32 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: blank group, model group, control group and experimental group, 8 in each group.
Background: The effectiveness of platelet concentrates in promoting root development of necrotic immature permanent teeth is unclear. The present study evaluated whether the platelet concentrate protocol was superior to the traditional blood clot protocol in regeneration therapy.
Methods: We searched Electronic databases, such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials and EMBASE.
Implant dentures become the first choice for denture restoration in patients with tooth loss. However, oral implants often fail in osteoporosis (OP) patients. Melatonin (MT) induces osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), suggesting its therapeutic potential in OP treatment.
