Objective: The aim: To study the effectiveness of chronic apical periodontitis treatment by the combined use of ultrasonic treatment of root canals and multicomponent antimicrobial gel according to the results of clinical and microbiological researches.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 64 patients with chronic apical periodontitis at the age of 18-56 years were treated. Patients were divided into two groups: the main and control. In the main group the root canals of 36 teeth were sonicated in combination with multicomponent antimicrobial gel, in the control - 35 teeth were treated by a standard method. The content of the root canals for microbiological studies was obtained before endodontic treatment and before permanent obturation. Frequency of content and number of bacteria in the samples were evaluated.
Results: Results: All samples before treatment were positive for the presence of variable bacterial flora, among which Staphylococcus epidermidis (43.9%), Enterococcus faecalis (37.9%), Streptococcus spp. (24.8%), Candida albicans (24.4%), Fusibacterium (9.4%) were the most dominant, their number was 7.4-4.8 lg CFU/ml. Repeated research after the proposed and standard method of root canal decontamination has shown a significant decrease in microflora. According to the data of clinical and microbiological examination, the method which was developed by us revealed a positive result in 86% of cases compared with 63% when treated by the standard method.
Conclusion: Conclusions: The effectiveness of a complex treatment method with combined use of the ultrasonic irrigation and multicomponent antimicrobial gel for root canals decontamination in chronic apical periodontitis is demonstrated. Significant reduction of microflora growth and destruction of microbial associations, good penetration of multicomponent antimicrobial gel into endodontic structures due to ultrasound compared with a standard method were achieved.

Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair remains one of the most challenging procedures and is associated with high mortality and complication rates. Careful consideration of the surgical strategy is essential, particularly in cases involving extensive replacement and high-risk patients. A 61-year-old man with a 55-mm TAAA was referred for surgical treatment.

Background: Circadian rhythm disruption (CRD) affects the expression levels of a range of biological clock genes, such as brain and muscle ARNT-Like-1 (BMAL1), which is considered to be an important factor in triggering or exacerbating inflammatory response. However, the underlying effect of CRD on the pathogenesis of apical periodontitis, a common oral inflammatory disease, currently remains unknown. Exploring the effects and pathogenic mechanisms of CRD on apical periodontitis will be beneficial in providing new ideas for the prevention and treatment of apical periodontitis.

Diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis (DSO) is a non-bacterial disease of the jawbone, characterized by intermittent pain, swelling, and a mixture of osteosclerosis and osteolysis on radiographs. Its etiology remains unclear, and a standard treatment, based on clear diagnostic criteria, has not been established. We present the case of a 48-year-old male patient, who was initially diagnosed with chronic mandibular osteomyelitis due to apical periodontitis in the right lower second premolar, and underwent antimicrobial medication and surgical therapy based on computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bone scintigraphy.

Since the development of the three-dimensional (3D) "mini-gut" culture system, adult stem cell-derived organoid technology has rapidly advanced, providing in vitro models that replicate key cellular, molecular, and physiological properties of multiple organs. The 3D intestinal organoid system has resolved many long-standing challenges associated with immortalized or cancer cell cultures, offering unparalleled capabilities for modeling gastrointestinal development and diseases. However, significant limitations remain, including restricted accessibility to the epithelial apical surface for studying host-microbe interactions, interruptions in modeling chronic gastrointestinal diseases due to frequent passaging and dissociation, and the absence of mechanical cues such as peristalsis and luminal flow, which are critical for organ development and function.
