Article Synopsis
  • A study evaluated the effectiveness of caerin 1.9 peptide-coated titanium plates in preventing infections after facial bone surgery in rabbits, aiming to find alternatives to traditional antibiotics.
  • The experiment involved 22 rabbits divided into three groups: one with the coated plates, one with standard plates, and an untreated control group, assessing various health indicators and infection parameters.
  • Results showed the caerin 1.9 group had significantly lower bacterial presence in wounds and better overall healing, indicating its potential as a promising method to reduce post-surgery infections.

Introduction: During dental treatment procedures ultrasonic scalers generate droplets containing microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. Hence, it is necessary to study the dynamic properties of generated droplets in order to investigate the risks associated with the spread of infection. The aim of this study was to visualise the flow state of droplets and to evaluate the impact of droplets generated during the use of an ultrasonic scaler during an oral surgical procedure.

DREAM (downstream regulatory element antagonist modulator), Calsenilin and KChIP3 (potassium channel interacting protein 3) belong to the neuronal calcium sensor (NCS) superfamily, which transduces the intracellular calcium signaling into a variety of activities. They are encoded by the same gene locus, but have distinct subcellular locations. DREAM was first found to interact with DRE (downstream regulatory element) site in the vicinity of the promoter of prodynorphin gene to suppress gene transcription.
