Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of induced membrane on guided bone regeneration and to compare its effect with poly-tetra-flourur-ethylene (PTFE) membrane and collagen membrane.
Methods: Sixteen white Vienna rabbits were used for experiments. Initially 1 defect was created on the parietal bone of all animals and cement was placed inside the defects. After 8 weeks, the bone cements were removed, without damaging the induced membrane formed in the defect cavity. And then 2 more defects were created. All defects were filled with xsenogenic graft materials and were covered with newly formed induced membrane, d-PTFE membrane and collagen membrane. Eight animals were sacrificed at 4th week and other 8 animals were sacrificed at 8th week and all bone specimens were histologically evaluated.
Results: New bone formation and bone marrow ratios were significantly higher in induced membrane and d-PTFE membrane group compared to collagen membrane group (P < 0.05) at 4th week. Mature bone ratios were significantly higher in induced membrane and d-PTFE membrane group compared to collagen membrane group (P < 0.05) at 8th week. The best CD31 value was detected with d-PTFE membrane group at 4th week and with induced membrane at 8th week.
Conclusion: Induced membrane can act as a strong barrier membrane and stimulate bone regeneration. Induced membrane technique can be accepted as a good alternative for the reconstruction of critical size defects in maxillofacial region.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality parameters and selected biochemical markers of canine semen sampled at 24-h intervals over a period of 5 days, preceded by 6 months of sexual abstinence. Full ejaculates were obtained from 6 dogs. Ejaculate volume and total sperm counts in the ejaculate decreased gradually on successive sampling days.

Background: Endometriosis patients exhibit a cancer-like glycolytic phenotype. The pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2)/hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) axis plays important roles in glycolysis-related diseases, but its role in patients with endometrial polyps (EPs) combined with endometriosis has not been validated.
Methods: EP samples were collected from patients with and without endometriosis.

Background: Aneuploidy is crucial yet under-explored in cancer pathogenesis. Specifically, the involvement of brain expressed X-linked gene 4 () in microtubule formation has been identified as a potential aneuploidy mechanism. Nevertheless, 's comprehensive impact on aneuploidy incidence across different cancer types remains unexplored.

Background: K48-linked ubiquitin chain (Ub-K48) is a crucial ubiquitin chain implicated in protein degradation within the ubiquitin-proteasome system. However, the precise function and molecular mechanism underlying the role of Ub-K48 in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and neuronal cell abnormalities remain unclear. The objective of this study was to examine the function of K48 ubiquitination in the etiology of AD, and its associated mechanism of neuronal apoptosis.

The ability to quench reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduced in plant chloroplasts under light stress conditions is essential for securing plant photosynthetic performance and agricultural yield. Although genetic engineering can enhance plant stress resistance, its widespread application faces limitations due to challenges in successful transformation across plant species and public acceptance concerns. This study proposes a nontransgenic chemical approach using a designed chimeric peptide that scavenges ROS within plant chloroplasts for managing light stress.
