The weak signal obtained from the anomalous scattering (at lambda = 1.54 A) of naturally occurring elements such as sulfur, phosphorus and ordered solvent chloride ions is used to determine the atomic positions of these atoms. Two examples are discussed: the sulfur and chlorine substructure of tetragonal hen egg-white lysozyme and an oligonucleotide containing ten P atoms. The substructure of lysozyme was also solved from Cu K(alpha) radiation data collected on a standard rotating-anode generator. The results presented here are an illustration of the power of the matrix methods, which are to be implemented in next distribution of the direct methods package CRUNCH.

Institute of Biomaterials, The First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo university, China.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a network of proteins and other molecules that encase and support cells and tissues in the body. As clinical and biotechnological uses of ECM are expanding, it is essential to assess the environmental impact associated with its production. Due to high levels of customization, various laboratories employ distinct methods; therefore, this study evaluates three common protocols.

BACKGROUND This study included 32 patients with single missing teeth and alveolar bone defects and aimed to compare outcomes from guided bone regeneration with a gelatin/polylactic acid (GT/PLA) barrier membrane and a Guidor® bioresorbable matrix barrier dental membrane. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 32 participants were recruited in the clinical study, with single missing teeth and alveolar bone defects, requiring guided bone regeneration (32 missing teeth in total). They were randomly divided into the GT/PLA membrane group (experimental) and Guidor® membrane group (control) by the envelope method (n=16).

The scientific establishment of the Ecological Security Pattern (ESP) is crucial for fostering the synergistic development of ecological and recreational functions, thereby enhancing urban ecological protection, recreational development, and sustainable growth. This study aimed to propose a novel method of constructing ESP considering both ecological and recreational functions, and to reconstruct ESP by weighing the relationship between ecological protection and recreational development. Utilizing Fuzhou City as a case study, a comprehensive application of methodologies including Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA), landscape connectivity analysis, ArcGIS spatial analysis, social network analysis (SNA), and circuit theory is employed to develop both the ESP and the Recreational Spatial Pattern (RSP).

Department of Cerebrovascular Diseases, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, 2 Jingba Road, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.
Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) causes prominent deposition of extracellular matrix molecules, particularly the chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan (CSPG) member neurocan. In tissue culture, neurocan impedes the properties of oligodendrocytes. Whether therapeutic reduction of neurocan promotes oligodendrogenesis and functional recovery in ICH is unknown.

Introduction: Soft-tissue defect is commonly seen in immediate maxillary posterior implantation because of tooth extraction wound and tension from bone graft. Bone graft materials exposure has a significant detrimental influence on bone augmentation. However, previous studies lack sufficient evidence to guide wound closure after immediate posterior implantation.
