Reconstruction of mandibular defects is a challenging issue in maxillofacial surgery. Success of the treatment is defined by the process of reparative regeneration of bone tissue, which is often accompanied with wound infection, failure of microcirculation and tissue hypoxia. Aim of our project was to demonstrate the advantage of osteoplastic material and bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells combination in regeneration of lower jaw bone defect. For this reason, mandibular bone defect was created in laboratory rats. Experimental treatment of animals was performed in three different ways: group 1. - Bone defect was regenerated without any treatment, group 2. - Bone defect was filled with osteoplastic material (BIO-OSS), group 3. - Bone defect was filled with BIO-OSS, which was previously infiltrated by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Animals were under observation for 6 months. During this period bone regeneration was comparatively analyzed in these tree experimental groups. Observational, histochemical and x-ray research methods were used in this study. Our results suggest that use of osteoplastic material and mesenchymal stem cells combination can increase formation of red bone marrow, which is normally slow under natural condition. Therefore, we can conclude that application of osteoplastic material with bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells can decrease time of bone defect osteointegration and define the quality of regenerated bone tissue.

Immune-mediated bone regeneration driven by bone biomaterials offers a therapeutic strategy for repairing bone defects. Among 2D nanomaterials, TiCT MXenes have garnered substantial attention for their potential in tissue regeneration. This investigation concentrates on the role of MXene nanocomposites in modulating the immune microenvironment within bone defects to facilitate bone tissue restoration.

Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage from skull base fractures increases the risk of bacterial meningitis, which is associated with a high mortality rate in adults, and commonly results in severe neurological outcomes. While most cases of CSF leakage occur within three months post-injury and generally resolve spontaneously, delayed-onset meningitis remains a challenging complication. Herein, we report a rare case of severe bacterial meningitis with an intraventricular abscess one year following a frontal skull base fracture, despite no CSF leak.

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) disorder characterized by persistent thrombocytosis and characterized by frequent association with cellular genetic alterations. The 10%-15% of ET that is not associated with genetic abnormalities is known as triple-negative essential thrombocythemia (TNET). A common complication observed in around 20% of ET patients is the development of acquired von Willebrand disease (AvWD).

Alveolar bone defects have always been an urgent problem in the oral cavity. For some patients with periodontal disease or undergoing orthodontic treatment or implant restoration, alveolar bone defects can greatly inconvenience clinical diagnosis and treatment. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are considered a promising source for stem cell therapy due to their high osteogenic differentiation capability.

This study sought to identify the parameters with the greatest relative impact on progression of CKD-MBD abnormalities.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study measured 237 parameters including serum markers, clinical variables, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements, vascular calcifications, and histomorphometric results from bone samples obtained at baseline and after 2 - 3 years.
