Inefficient and low-precision delivery of exogenous nucleic acids (ENA) severely limits gene therapy on ischemic stroke (IS). Two problems need to be urgently addressed to improve the efficacy of gene therapy; first, the blood brain barrier (BBB) should be open to promote the accumulation of ENA or genetic material carriers in the ischemic brain parenchyma, and second, the efficient delivery of ENA into the ischemic cells. Previous studies applied ultrasonic cavitation either for opening BBB or for inducing sonoporation to deliver genetic materials into cells.

Introduction: Children who suffer from severe caries in childhood may have negative impacts on the growth, development, nutritional problems and quality-of-life problems related to the oral health of the child and their family. There are no studies that have compared rehabilitative techniques of primary anterior teeth regarding patient-centred outcomes and even longevity of the restoration. Thus, this project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of restorative treatment of anterior primary teeth with monochromatic composite resin in single insertion through polyvinyl crowns, after selective removal of carious tissue compared with the effectiveness of conventional restoration.

Objective: This study aimed to explore whether cavitation generated by ultrasound-stimulated microbubbles (USMB) can enhance the therapeutic efficacy of colchicine and diminish its gastrointestinal side effects in rats with acute gouty arthritis (AGA).
Materials And Methods: The rat AGA model was established by injection of Monosodium urate (MSU) crystals. The rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (A: control group, B: model control group, C: cavitation group, D: high dose colchicine group, E: cavitation + low dose colchicine group, F: cavitation + high dose colchicine group) according to whether they were given cavitation and different doses of colchicine.

Background: Oral health behaviors are the primary determinants of dental health. They undergo modification and stabilization during adolescence, and can persist into adulthood.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the oral health behaviors of individuals aged 12 and 15-18 years, and to examine the impact of these behaviors on the occurrence and severity of dental caries in different age groups.

An uncommon and recently identified Müllerian anomaly is the accessory cavitated uterine mass (ACUM). It is distinguished by the presence of a noncommunicating auxiliary cavity inside the uterus, located near and surrounded by uterine smooth muscle, and bordered by functioning endometrium beneath the round ligament's insertion, with a perfectly healthy uterus, ovaries, tubes, and cavity. Given that it is a congenital ailment with a persistent Müllerian duct at the level of the round ligament, primarily resulting from gubernaculum dysfunction, it usually manifests clinically as childhood dysmenorrhea in girls.
