Background: An earlier study showed that an injectable calcium phosphate cement (CPC) served as a stable scaffold for bone formation and promoted histocompatible healing of periodontal tissue in dogs. In this study, we evaluated the influence of CPC on regeneration of periodontal defects with experimental periodontitis in dogs.
Methods: Experimental periodontitis was induced by placing stainless-steel mesh on the mesial side of maxillary canines in six adult, healthy beagle dogs. Subsequently, intrabony defects were resized so as to be standard, and CPC was injected in the experimental bone defects. Non-grafted defects on the contralateral side served as controls. Twelve weeks after surgery, the animals were sacrificed and histologic specimens were prepared. Periodontal tissue healing was evaluated histologically and histometrically.
Results: Healing of periodontal tissues, in terms of bone and cementum formation, was consistently observed in the CPC-applied sites. CPC was partly replaced by new bone. New cementum and periodontal ligament-like tissue were observed between CPC and the root surface. New bone (P <0.05), new cementum (P <0.01), and new connective tissue attachment and adhesion (P <0.05) were significantly enhanced in the experimental sites.
Conclusion: Calcium phosphate cement provides stable wound healing and enhanced periodontal regeneration in periodontal defects in dogs with experimental periodontitis.

Diabetes exacerbates the occurrence and severity of periodontitis, the pathogenesis of diabetic periodontitis (DPD) is influenced by the delayed resolution of inflammation. Eldecalcitol (ED-71) has shown promise in preventing bone loss in DPD. We herein aimed to investigate the role of ED-71 in the inflammatory regression phase of DPD and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

The objective of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties, drug release and in situ depot-forming behavior of alginate hydrogel containing poorly water-soluble aripiprazole (ARP) for achieving free-flowing injectability, clinically accessible gelation time and sustained drug release. The balanced ratio of pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) and glucono-delta-lactone (GDL) was crucial to modulate gelation time of the alginate solution in the presence of calcium carbonate. Our results demonstrated that the sol state alginate hydrogel before gelation was free-flowing, stable and readily injectable using a small 23 G needle.

Unlabelled: Diverse marine animals undergo a metamorphic larval-to-juvenile transition in response to surface-bound bacteria. Although this host-microbe interaction is critical to establishing and maintaining marine animal populations, the functional activity of bacterial products and how they activate the host's metamorphosis program has not yet been defined for any animal. The marine bacterium stimulates the metamorphosis of a tubeworm called by producing a molecular syringe called metamorphosis-associated contractile structures (MACs).

Background: L-arginine (Arg) is a semi-essential amino acid that can be used as a key mediator for the release of growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1), and other growth factors. In this study, we comprehensively evaluated the effect of Arg intake on bone growth and associated markers.
Methods: The study involved 24 Sprague-Dawley rats (12 males, 12 females) divided into two groups (Age = 24 days).
