Recent advancements in the arena of therapeutic molecular enhancement have shown favorable clinical findings for periodontics. However, further studies to optimize clinical outcomes using this technology are warranted. Twelve premolar extraction sockets were assigned randomly for treatment with 0.3 mg/mL recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF-BB) combined with either a collagen containing anorganic deproteinized bovine bone (xenograft) or beta-tricalcium phosphate (b-TCP). Histologic evaluation of extraction socket healing was performed at 3 months. Histologic findings were similar with b-TCP and the xenograft, having 21% and 24% vital bone, respectively. The use of rhPDGF-BB with either b-TCP or a xenograft resulted in uneventful socket healing. At reentry, all implants were placed without the need for further grafting, and 100% implant success was recorded at the time of final evaluation (restoration completion).

Objective: Osteoporosis is a systemic disease with high morbidity and significant adverse effects. Increasing evidence supports the close relationship between oxidative stress and osteoporosis, suggesting that treatment with antioxidants may be a viable approach. This study evaluated the antioxidant properties of dichotomitin (DH) and its potential protective effects against osteoporosis.

Background: This study aimed to assess the histological and radiographic effects of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) as a direct pulp capping (DPC) agent in immature permanent dog premolars.

Methods: A split-mouth design was employed with three healthy 4-month-old Mongrel dogs, each having 36 premolars. The premolars were randomly assigned to either SHMP or MTA.

January 2025

Department of Urology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong 510515, China (B.Z., F.M., X.S., S.L., Q.W.); Department of Urology, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong 510080, China (Q.W.). Electronic address:

Rationale And Objectives: To develop an automatic deep-radiomics framework that diagnoses and stratifies prostate cancer in patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels between 4 and 10 ng/mL.

Materials And Methods: A total of 1124 patients with histological results and PSA levels between 4 and 10 ng/mL were enrolled from one public dataset and two local institutions. An nnUNet was trained for prostate masks, and a feature extraction module identified suspicious lesion masks.

Liver Fibrosis and Cardiovascular Events.

South Med J

January 2025

From the Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Disease, University of Chicago-Northshore Program, Evanston, Illinois.

Objectives: Liver fibrosis represents a common sequela of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and other chronic liver diseases. Noninvasive liver fibrosis scores (LFSs) aim to evaluate the severity of liver fibrosis. Whether LFSs can predict the risk of future cardiovascular events (CVEs) remains unclear.

Lymphoma is the most common neoplasia in the intestine of cats. According to ACVIM consensus statement, low-grade intestinal T-cell lymphoma (LGITCL) represents a monomorphic infiltration of the lamina propria or epithelium or both of cats with small, mature, neoplastic (clonal) T lymphocytes. Despite the importance as contributing factors of inheritance and environment in the pathogenesis of LGITCL, the chronic inflammatory status plays a fundamental role.
