Introduction: The aim of the study was to assess and compare the efficacy of autotransplantation of molars with complete and incomplete root formation, by checking the viability of the procedure to replace non-restorable molar teeth in the extraction sockets.
Materials And Methods: Twenty patients with non-restorable molars were included in this study. They were divided into two groups with complete and incomplete root-formed third molars, which needed to be transplanted in place of non-restorable molars. A routine surgical procedure was performed to remove infected molars. Atraumatic removal of the third molar was performed and reimplanted in the socket of previously extracted infected molars.
Results: Results were evaluated based on clinical observation and radiographic analysis of the transplanted tooth. Out of 20 transplants, one transplant, despite good initial stability, was extracted after one month because of abnormal horizontal and axial mobility; this was the single failure case (5%). Of the rest, 19/20 (95%) transplants were followed up for 6 months and showed no failure.
Conclusion: This study clearly indicated that the benefits of autotransplantation over other treatment options are numerous, and the results are not affected by whether the root of the transplanted tooth is complete or incompletely formed.

Anthropogenic activities such as industrial pollution of water bodies possess threat to floras leading to extinction and endangerment. This study investigates the impact of industrial pollution on vegetation along River Chenab and its associated drains. Rivers and channels transporting industrial effluents have been determined to be significantly contaminated.

Piper longum, commonly known as long pepper, is highly valued for its bioactive alkaloid piperine, which has diverse pharmaceutical and culinary applications. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing and de novo transcriptome assembly to analyze the transcriptomes of P. longum leaves, roots, and spikes.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the rate-limiting enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, impacts cancer cell proliferation and plant stress responses. However, its role in plant cell dedifferentiation and callus formation is not well understood. This study explores the function of cytoplasmic G6PD isoforms in Arabidopsis pericycle cell reprogramming into callus by employing a suite of mutant analyses, qRT-PCR, and GC-MS.

This review article series on water and electrolyte disorders is based on the 'Electrolyte Winter Seminar' held annually for young nephrologists in Japan. The seminar includes lively discussions based on cases, which are also partly included in this series as self-assessment questions. The first article in this series focuses on pathophysiology, symptoms, outcomes, and evaluation of hyponatremia, a common water and electrolyte disorder in clinical practice.

Boron, a crucial element for plant growth, has been demonstrated to mitigate cadmium (Cd) absorption in rice seedlings. However, its impact on Cd accumulation in rice grains and the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. The current study explored the roles of boron in reducing Cd accumulation and promoting ripening in rice through pot and hydroponic experiments.
