Background: Mast cells (MCs) are immune cells derived from a multipotent CD34 precursor. The most significant identifying feature of MCs is the presence of metachromatic granules. MCs are increased in oral reactive lesions and are possibly involved in pathogenesis of these lesions.
Objectives: 1. To compare the number of MCs between reactive and nonreactive lesions of gingiva using toluidine blue (TB) and mast cell tryptase (MCT) as a specific marker for MCs 2. To compare the staining specificity/efficacy of TB and MCT.
Methodology: The study sample comprised 90 tissues which were divided into three groups: Group A comprised 30 cases of pyogenic granuloma (PG), Group B consisted of 30 cases of gingival hyperplasia (GH) and Group C comprised 30 cases of pericoronitis. Staining was done between 1% TB and immunohistochemistry (IHC) marker MCT.
Results: A significant increase in number of MCs was observed in PG as compared to GH and pericoronitis. IHC marker MCT proved to be a more specific marker for MCs compared to TB.
Conclusion: IHC marker MCT is a specific marker compared to TB. The position of MCs changed from juxtaepithelial in GH to deeper connective tissue in PG which was in correlation with the proliferating tissue that is epithelium in GH and blood vessel in PG.

Introduction: The differential diagnosis of orbital complications of rhinosinusitis with diseases of the lacrimal sac in childhood remains unresolved both due to the similarity of the symptoms of the diseases and due to certain diagnostic difficulties requiring computed tomography.
Objective: To develop an algorithm for routing a patient to the emergency department of a multidisciplinary emergency hospital based on clinical and diagnostic distinctive features of sinusitis with orbital complications and diseases of the lacrimal sac with reactive edema of the eyelids.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of children's medical histories, who were treated in the otorhinolaryngological and ophthalmological departments of the Morozovskaya Children's City Clinical Hospital during 2022 was performed for orbital complications of rhinosinusitis or dacryocystitis with reactive edema of the eyelids.

Objectives: Despite advancements in modern medicine, the effectiveness of in vitro fertilization (IVF) remains low. This study aimed to assess the impact of specific features of T-shaped uterine cavity malformation and its intermediate forms on reproductive function and the effectiveness of assisted reproductive technology (ART), particularly on IVF results and pregnancy outcomes.
Methods: A prospective cohort study included 388 somatically healthy patients undergoing 3D ultrasound (US) examination of the uterine cavity before embryonic transfer for IVF treatment.
Validation of quantitative [F]NaF PET uptake parameters in bone diseases: a systematic review.

Purpose: [F]NaF PET has become an increasingly important tool in clinical practice toward understanding and evaluating diseases and conditions in which bone metabolism is disrupted. Full kinetic analysis using nonlinear regression (NLR) with a two-tissue compartment model to determine the net rate of influx (K) of [F]NaF is considered the gold standard for quantification of [F]NaF uptake. However, dynamic scanning often is impractical in a clinical setting, leading to the development of simplified semi-quantitative parameters.

Unlabelled: This study examines how power training affects estimated bone strength, revealing that females benefit more than males, especially in the upper limbs (radius). These findings highlight the importance of designing sex-specific exercise programs to enhance bone health. Further research is needed to optimize training duration and address site-specific differences.

Purpose: We aimed to investigate early effects of regulating alpha‑7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) agonists and antagonists on maxillary expansion in mice.
Methods: We allocated 36 six-week-old male C57BL/6J mice into three group: 1) expansion alone, 2) expansion plus the α7nAChR-specific agonist 3‑(2,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)-anabaseine dihydrochloride (GTS-21), and 3) expansion plus alpha-bungarotoxin (α-BTX), a competitive antagonist of α7nAChR. The groups were daily injected with saline, GTS-21 (4 mg/kg/day) or α‑BTX (1 mg/kg/day), respectively, from days 0-7.
