Biomechanical comparison of the efficacy of Cfr-PEEK and titanium systems in the fixation following sagittal split advancement osteotomy: a biomechanical study.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Ordu University, Cumhuriyet Yerleşkesi Cumhuriyet Mahallesi, 52200, Ordu, Türkiye, Turkey.

Background: This study evaluates the efficacy of carbon fiber reinforced Polyetheretherketone (Cfr-PEEK) in fixation after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) by comparing it with titanium in vitro.

Methods: Twenty-eight sheep hemimandibles were randomly assigned to four groups for SSRO surgery. Fixation was performed with a 4-hole titanium mini plate for 5 mm advancement in Group 1, with a 4-hole Cfr-PEEK mini plate for 5 mm advancement for Group 2, with a 4-hole titanium mini plate for 10 mm advancement for Group 3, and with a 4-hole Cfr-PEEK mini plate for 10 mm advancement for Group 4.

Exosomes, which are known to transport diverse proteins from parent cells to recipient cells, consequently influence the biological activities of the recipient cells. Among those proteins, the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), plays a crucial role as it is implicated in cell adhesion and signaling processes. As exosomal EpCAM potentially affects the migration of recipient cells, direct visualization with high spatial resolution is essential to better understand this impact and the role of exosomal EpCAM in recipient cells.

Mechanical forces continuously provide feedback to heart valve morphogenetic programs. In zebrafish, cardiac valve development relies on heart contraction and physical stimuli generated by the beating heart. Intracardiac hemodynamics, driven by blood flow, emerge as fundamental information shaping the development of the embryonic heart.

mRNA display is an effective tool to identify high-affinity macrocyclic binders for challenging protein targets. The success of an mRNA display selection is dependent on generating highly diverse libraries with trillions of peptides. While translation elongation can canonically accommodate the 61 proteinogenic triplet codons, translation initiation is restricted to the native start codon AUG.

Designing RNA sequences that form a specific structure remains a challenge. Current computational methods often struggle with the complexity of RNA structures, especially when considering pseudoknots or restrictions related to RNA function. We developed DesiRNA, a computational tool for the design of RNA sequences based on the Replica Exchange Monte Carlo approach.
