The protocol introduces a novel multi-chamber bioreactor tailored for ex-vivo cell culture in dentistry research, emulating the 3D dental environment to propel research in dental applications. Constructed primarily from a polymeric material with a sophisticated 3D design, the bioreactor securely holds teeth structures within sealed chambers, enabling controlled perfusion of culture medium crucial for cell growth through a singular entry and exit point. An integrated electronic system manages flow and pressure, ensuring precise control over environmental conditions. This technology facilitates cell cultivation under conditions closely resembling natural tooth microenvironments, offering opportunities for varied studies from understanding cellular behavior in dental contexts to targeted therapy development. The bioreactor's amalgamation of polymeric components, 3D design, and electronic controls enhances adaptability and accuracy, rendering it a valuable asset in dental research. The report comprehensively delineates the bioreactor's design, operations, and potential applications, showcasing its significant contributions to dental research and regenerative medicine. By amalgamating advanced technologies, this bioreactor emerges as a pivotal tool for investigating cellular processes within dental structures, paving the way for scientific exploration and therapeutic advancements.

Fracture Resistance and Wear Behavior of Ultra-Thin Occlusal Veneers Made From Translucent Zirconia Ceramics Bonded to Different Tooth Substrates.
J Esthet Restor Dent
January 2025
Department of Prosthodontics, Propaedeutics and Dental Materials, School of Dentistry, Christian-Albrechts University at Kiel, Kiel, Germany.
Objective: Investigation of the mechanical properties of occlusal veneers made from zirconia with varying translucency, bonded to different tooth substrates.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-four extracted molars were divided into two groups: preparation within enamel (E) or extending into dentin (D). Veneers were milled from four zirconia ceramics (n = 8): 5Y-TZP (HT), a multilayer of 5 and 3Y-TZP (GT), 3Y-TZP (LT), and 4Y-TZP (MT).
The depth of arterial supply of forehead: a meta-analysis.
Folia Morphol (Warsz)
January 2025
Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Kraków, Poland.
Background: The rapid growth of aesthetic medicine has led to an increased demand for non-surgical cosmetic procedures in the frontal region of the face. However, alongside this rise in popularity, there is a growing awareness of the potential complications associated with these procedures especially connected with fillers. The intricate vascular anatomy of the forehead, specifically the supratrochlear (STA) and supraorbital (SOA) arteries, poses significant risks if not thoroughly understood.

Folia Morphol (Warsz)
January 2025
Department of Histology and Developmental Biology, Tokyo Dental College, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Some mammals including the swine carry a fibrous vestigial clavicle, but a subclavius muscle (SBM) extends between the first rib and the supraspinatus muscle surface fascia. We aimed to examine development of the SBM and clavicle for finding a specific factor to provide the curious morphology.
Materials And Methods: Histological sections of early- and midterm fetuses of the swine, human and mouse were observed and compared at the almost same morphological stage.
L-arginine in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6: a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial.

December 2024
Department of Neurology, Brain Research Institute, Niigata University, Niigata, Japan.
Background: Therapeutic advancements for the polyglutamine diseases, particularly spinocerebellar degeneration, are eagerly awaited. We evaluated the safety, tolerability, and therapeutic effects of L-arginine, which inhibits the conformational change and aggregation of polyglutamine proteins, in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6).
Methods: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial (clinical trial ID: AJA030-002, registration number: jRCT2031200135) was performed on 40 genetically confirmed SCA6 patients enrolled between September 1, 2020, and September 30, 2021.
A noninvasive urinary microRNA-based assay for the detection of pancreatic cancer from early to late stages: a case control study.
EClinicalMedicine
December 2024
Department of Pathology and Genetics, Laboratory of Cancer Medical Science, Hokuto Hospital, Obihiro, Hokkaido, Japan.
Background: Pancreatic cancer is highly aggressive and has a low survival rate primarily due to late-stage diagnosis and the lack of effective early detection methods. We introduce here a novel, noninvasive urinary extracellular vesicle miRNA-based assay for the detection of pancreatic cancer from early to late stages.
Methods: From September 2019 to July 2023, Urine samples were collected from patients with pancreatic cancer (n = 153) from five distinct sites (Hokuto Hospital, Kawasaki Medical School Hospital, National Cancer Center Hospital, Kagoshima University Hospital, and Kumagaya General Hospital) and non-cancer participants (n = 309) from two separate sites (Hokuto Hospital and Omiya City Clinic).
