AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how effective three different progestins (dienogest, depo medroxyprogesterone, and micronized progesteron) are in treating simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia in premenopausal women.
- After 6 months of treatment involving 120 participants, the comparison showed high resolution rates for all three progestins, with no instances of progression to atypical or complex hyperplasia.
- While dienogest had the highest resolution rate at 96.9%, the differences among the treatments were not statistically significant, indicating comparable efficacy for all three progestins.
Article Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of dienogest (DIE), depo medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate (MPA), and micronized progesteron (MP) regimens for treatment of simple endometrial hyperplasia (EH) without atypia.
Methods: One hundred and twenty premenopausal patients aged between 35 and 55, with simple EH without atypia, were offered 3 types of progestins (MPA, MP, and DIE) and were randomized to one of them. After 6 months of treatment, patients were reevaluated. The efficacy of different progestins in treatment of EH was compared with regard to resolution and regression rates. We classified the terms of resolution and regression as "complete response" and persistence as "no response".
Results: A total of 99 patients continued the study (31 in MP, 35 in MPA, and 33 in the DIE group). None of the results of endometrial pathology were progressed to atypia or complex hyperplasia. The complete response resolution rate was 93.5% in the MP, 88.5% in the MPA, and 96.9% in the DIE group. The highest complete response rate was in the DIE group, although there was no statistically significant difference between groups (p = 0.39). The efficacy of progestins was similar between the groups.
Conclusion: DIE is an effective and convenient method for thinning the endometrium.

Early effects of α7nAChR regulation on maxillary expansion in mice : A study on osteogenesis and inflammatory factors.
J Orofac Orthop

Department of Orthodontics, Beijing Stomatological Hospital, Capital Medical University, 100050, Beijing, China.
Purpose: We aimed to investigate early effects of regulating alpha‑7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) agonists and antagonists on maxillary expansion in mice.
Methods: We allocated 36 six-week-old male C57BL/6J mice into three group: 1) expansion alone, 2) expansion plus the α7nAChR-specific agonist 3‑(2,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)-anabaseine dihydrochloride (GTS-21), and 3) expansion plus alpha-bungarotoxin (α-BTX), a competitive antagonist of α7nAChR. The groups were daily injected with saline, GTS-21 (4 mg/kg/day) or α‑BTX (1 mg/kg/day), respectively, from days 0-7.
Internal and marginal fits of 3D-printed provisional prostheses: comparative effect of different printing parameters.

Department of Substitutive Dental Sciences, College of Dentistry, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
Objectives: The influence of printing parameters on the marginal and internal fit of three-dimensional (3D) printed interim fixed partial dentures (IFPDs) has been understudied. This investigation sought to elucidate the impact of printing orientation and post-curing time on these critical factors.
Methods: A total of 260 3-Unit IFDPs were printed using two different resins (130/NextDent C&B MFH and 130/ASIGA DentaTOOTH).
New constitutive model and hot processing map for A100 steel based on high-temperature flow behavior.

To predict the flow behavior and identify the optimal hot processing window for A100 steel, a constitutive model and a hot processing map were established using true stress-strain data extracted from isothermal compression tests performed at temperatures ranging from 1073 to 1353 K and strain rates varying between 0.01 and 10 s. The results indicate a strong linear trend between the logarithmic stress and the reciprocal of temperature, along with a significant quadratic relationship between the logarithmic stress and logarithmic strain rate.

Background And Aim: Treatment effects of a combined rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and Delaire facemask (DFM) therapy have so far only been scientifically investigated through cephalometric analyses. The combination of cephalometric, dental cast and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan analysis was not yet used for investigating morphologic changes of the tooth-bearing palate. The aim of the present study was to determine whether patient age at treatment begin has an influence upon palatal length changes after RME/DFM therapy, and to what extent transverse palatal sutures contribute to these.

Background: Older people who die from serious chronic disease typically experience long periods (months or years) of illness and complex fluctuations in their physical health and in their social, psychological and existential well-being. Our understanding of these end-of-life trajectories is very limited, focuses predominantly on physical function and clinical predictors and neglects inter-individual differences. A better understanding of end-of-life trajectories, including what is shared among people and what is individually specific, is needed for an optimal provision of palliative care and health services planning.
