Scaffold Application for Bone Regeneration with Stem Cells in Dentistry: Literature Review.

Bone tissue injuries within oral and dental contexts often present considerable challenges because traditional treatments may not be able to fully restore lost or damaged bone tissue. Novel approaches involving stem cells and targeted 3D scaffolds have been investigated in the search for workable solutions. The use of scaffolds in stem cell-assisted bone regeneration is a crucial component of tissue engineering techniques designed to overcome the drawbacks of traditional bone grafts.

Evaluation of plasma circ_0006282 as a novel diagnostic biomarker in colorectal cancer.

Background: Nowadays, non-invasive and rapid detection of cancers through molecular biomarkers has received much attention. Therefore, this study investigated the non-invasive and rapid diagnosis of colorectal cancer through one of the newest biomarkers (circular RNA).

Methods: For this purpose, we collected tumoral, adjacent normal tissue, and plasma samples from 100 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, 25 postoperative CRC patients, 28 colitis patients, and 108 healthy donors.

The Expression Pattern and Clinicopathological Importance of Hsa_circ_000425 in Colorectal Cancer.

Although colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers, the exact molecular mechanism of this cancer is not yet known. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a class of non-coding RNAs, are newly identified and their role in the pathogenesis of various cancers has been shown. In this research, we studied the expression pattern and clinical importance of hsa_circ_000425 in CRC patients.

Isolation of Brucella spp. from clinical specimens.

For recovery of brucellae from clinical specimens, a lysis-concentration procedure was superior to the procedure of Castañeda (M. R. Castañeda, Proc.

Comparison of the BACTOMETER microbial monitoring system with conventional methods for detection of microorganisms in urine specimens.

A rapid impedance-based screen for bacteriuria (less than 10(5) organisms per ml) was compared with a standard loop method, using 156 clinical urine specimens. Agreement between the methods was 96.8%.
