Purpose: This laboratory study conducted to evaluate and compare the influence of different flask closure methods on linear dimensional changes of standardized simulated maxillary complete dentures.
Materials And Methods: Thirty casts were made from a silicone mold representing an edentulous maxillary arch. Thirty identical maxillary dentures were made and randomly assigned to 3 test groups (A, B, C). In Group A, flasks were placed directly in pressure clamp after trial closure. Group B: The final closure was done in a hydraulic press then transferred to pressure clamp. Group C: After trial closure flask was positioned between the two iron plates of the Restriction System flask closure (RSFC) method. Then linear distances were measured three times before and after polymerization: right incisor to left incisor (RI-LI), right premolar to left premolar (RPM-LPM), right molar to left molar (RM-LM) and left incisor- to- left molar (LI-LM) and right incisor- to- right molar (RI-RM) with the help of digital caliper with an accuracy of 0.01mm. ANOVA and Tuckey's test were used to compare the groups (p < 0.05).
Results: Inter molar (LM-RM) width showed the greatest dimensional change after processing and Linear dimensions were not significantly influenced by the packing procedure.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, Restriction System flask closure (RSFC) method demonstrated a similar performance in reducing the tooth movement when compared with other flask closure methods. The posterior region of the denture may present changes in the tooth position after processing, which need to be clinically adjusted.

Article Synopsis
- - Surgical advancements for treating full-thickness macular holes include vitrectomy, membrane peeling, and the new petaloid technique, which positions the internal limiting membrane flap under air to enhance closure success rates.
- - In a study of 28 eyes, primary closure was achieved in 96.42% of patients, with significant visual acuity improvements noted at 3 and 6 months post-surgery, particularly for certain closure patterns (Type A and C).
- - The shape of macular holes, as assessed by OCT, played a significant role in predicting visual acuity outcomes six months after surgery, indicating that the specific shape can affect recovery trajectories.
Effect of TGF-β3 on wound healing of bone cell monolayer in static and hydrodynamic shear stress conditions.

Introduction: Wound healing is characterized as a complicated and sophisticated biological process through which tissue heals and repairs itself after injury. However, the normal wound healing process relies on different growth factors as well as the presence of an accurate cytokine level to ensure appropriate cellular responses. In the case of wound healing, the effects of various growth factors have been studied, but the effects of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) on wound healing have been found to be more significant because of its broad spectrum of impacts on healing the wounded tissues or skins.

Cultivations of mammalian cells are routinely conducted in shake flasks. In contrast to instrumented bioreactors, reliable options for non-invasive, time-resolved monitoring of the culture status in shake flasks are lacking. The Respiration Activity Monitoring Respiration Activity Monitoring System system was used to determine the oxygen transfer rate (OTR) in shake flasks.

Purpose: A reproducible protocol for the production of corneal mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (cMSCs) is necessary for potential clinical applications. We aimed to describe successful generation and expansion of cMSCs using an explant method.
Methods: Corneoscleral rims of human cadaveric eyes were divided into four pieces and used as explants to allow outgrowth of cMSCs (passage 0, or P0).

Severely resorbed residual alveolar ridges are a challenge in rehabilitation with removable complete dentures. Increased interarch space may result in increased height of maxillary and/or mandibular dentures with corresponding increase in weight, which may compromise retention and resistance of the denture and ultimately, the success of the removable prosthesis. There are many techniques and materials described for reducing the weight of dentures.
