[Cellular engineering in periodontology].

An overview of various cell engineering techniques being developed for modern conservative and reconstructive periodontology is presented. The accelerated development of cellular engineering technologies poses to medicine and, in particular, periodontics, the task of early implementation of the results of such experiments into patient management protocols. The main groups of promising techniques that are closest to practical healthcare are: isolation and use of stem cells; synthesis of biologically active (inductive) signaling molecules; development of scaffolds that ensure three-dimensional tissue growth.

Mid-IR lasing in HgCdTe multiple quantum well edge-emitting ridges.

Thin HgCdTe/CdHgTe quantum wells (QWs) grown on alternative GaAs (013) substrates have been recently proposed as a material for coherent emitters in the mid-IR region. In this work, we develop a technological process for the fabrication of ridge microresonators in waveguide heterostructures with multiple HgCdTe QWs via photolithography and ion etching. We process two samples with different ridge heights and analyze their emission spectra measured under optical excitation.

[Evaluation of the antibacterial effect of passive nanoimpregnation of tooth root dentin by real-time PCR].

Objective: Assessment of antibacterial properties of a new intracanal paste based on calcium hydroxocuprate (CHC) and silver nanoparticles hydrosol for passive root impregnation.

Material And Methods: The study included 55 teeth with 69 root canals belonging patients with chronic apical periodontitis. The main group, including 44 root canals, was filled with a new paste based on CHC and silver nanoparticles for 7 days after preparation and irrigation.

[Perioperative augmented reality technology in surgical treatment of locally advanced recurrent rectal cancer].

Rectal cancer occupies the leading position among cancers, and incidence of locally advanced recurrences is still high despite comprehensive treatment. Combined resections are usually associated with high perioperative risks. These procedures are technically complex interventions requiring further improvement.

Balancing the Number of Quantum Wells in HgCdTe/CdHgTe Heterostructures for Mid-Infrared Lasing.

HgCdTe-based heterostructures with quantum wells (QWs) are a promising material for semiconductor lasers in the atmospheric transparency window (3-5 μm) thanks to the possibility of suppressing Auger recombination due to the no-parabolic law of carrier dispersion. In this work, we analyze the thresholds of stimulated emission (SE) under optical pumping from heterostructures with a different number of QWs in the active region of the structure. Total losses in structures are determined from the comparison of thresholds for the different number of QWs in the active region.
