The Effect of Porphyromonas gingivalis Lipopolysaccharide on the Pyroptosis of Gingival Fibroblasts.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and other pathogens. P.

Automated Assessment System for Neonatal Endotracheal Intubation Using Dilated Convolutional Neural Network.

Neonatal endotracheal intubation (ETI) is an important, complex resuscitation skill, which requires a significant amount of practice to master. Current ETI practice is conducted on the physical manikin and relies on the expert instructors' assessment. Since the training opportunities are limited by the availability of expert instructors, an automatic assessment model is highly desirable.

Effects of D-arginine on Porphyromonas gingivalis biofilm.

Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is one of the major pathogenic bacteria of periodontitis or peri-implantitis. P.

[Comparative study of the titanium and titanium alloy implant electrolytic etching surface].

Objective: This preliminary study aims to investigate the effects of titanium and titanium alloy micro-nano-dimensional topography on the biological behavior of osteoblasts in vitro.

Methods: Electrolytic etching (EE) method was used to produce micro-nano dimensional titanium surfaces. The surfaces were observed to determine their effects on the adhesion, proliferation, cell morphology, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of osteoblasts.

[A retrospective study of infection after onlay graft].

Objective: To investigate the treatment and prevention of infection after alveolar crest onlay bone graft.

Methods: From January 2006 to May 2010, 11 infection cases after onlay graft on alveolar crest were reviewed to evaluate the infection time, clinical situation, treatment measure, and therapeutic effect.

Results: The infection of all 11 cases occurred about 15 days after bone graft, which showed either soft tissue fistulae or bone graft exposure in the oral cavity.
