Corneal dellen appeared as a complication after perilimbal conjunctival papilloma dissection in a six-year-old patient. Our purpose was to describe the use of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) fibrin membrane in covering the corneal defect after conventional medical treatment failure. PRGF fibrin membrane is an interesting therapeutical option to consider not only in adult patients, but also in children.

Management of an Open Apex Using a Platelet-Rich Fibrin Membrane as an Internal Matrix and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as an Apical Barrier: A Case Report.

Apexification is a crucial procedure for achieving apical healing in non-vital teeth with open apices. Traditionally, calcium hydroxide has been used for this purpose, but it has significant drawbacks, including prolonged treatment duration, increased risk of root fracture, and the potential for porous barrier formation. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has emerged as a superior alternative due to its biocompatibility, faster setting time, and better sealing properties.

Introduction: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disease characterized by autoantibodies against hemidesmosomal proteins on basal membrane zone. The presence of a high incidence of thrombotic events has led to the identification of a hypercoagulable state in BP patients.
Area Covers: This review highlights the interactions between coagulation and immune-inflammatory responses based on the current literature available, as well as individual changes of characteristic coagulation parameters in BP.

: The barrier properties of the human small intestine play a crucial role in regulating digestion, nutrient absorption and drug metabolism. Current in vitro organotypic models consist only of an epithelium, which does not take into account the possible role of stromal cells such as fibroblasts or the extracellular matrix (ECM) which could contribute to epithelial barrier properties. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether these stromal cells or ECM were beneficial or detrimental to barrier function when incorporated into an organotypic human small intestine model.

Objective We evaluated the outcomes of tympanic membrane regenerative treatment using gelatin sponge, recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and fibrin glue at Yokosuka Kyosai Hospital. Methodology We enrolled a total of 42 patients with tympanic membrane perforations (TMPs) (44 ears; right:left = 21:23) that were treated using gelatin sponge, recombinant bFGF, and fibrin glue between July 2020 and December 2023 at Yokosuka Kyosai Hospital. TMP closure rates, improvement of hearing level, and complications were retrospectively included in the evaluation items.

Aims: Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) exhibit an enormous potential to regenerate periodontal tissue. However, their translatability to the clinical setting is constrained by technical difficulties in standardizing culture conditions. The aim was to assess complex culture conditions using a proteomic-based protocol to standardize multi-layer hPDLSC cultivation methodology.
