To investigate the effects of artificial light at night on the growth of mandibles in mice and its regulatory mechanisms. A mouse model of artificial light at night (night light pollution group) and normal lighting (normal light group) was established by controlling light exposure time, with 4 mice in each group. Micro-CT was employed to analyze the differences in bone quantities of the mandibles between the two groups.

Background: Upper eyelid ptosis is a common aesthetic concern among Asian patients, resulting in a tired and drowsy appearance that affects their attractiveness. The levator advancement technique is widely used for ptosis correction; however, achieving precise results remains challenging.
Objectives: This study introduces a modified approach to improve the accuracy of levator aponeurosis advancement by focusing on precise measurements and anterior displacement within a defined corneal range.

Introduction: Trauma and hemorrhagic shock (T/HS) are associated with multiple organ injury. Antithrombin (AT) has anti-inflammatory and organ protective activity through its interaction with endothelial heparan sulfate containing a 3-O-sulfate modification. Our objective was to examine the effects of T/HS on 3-O-sulfated (3-OS) heparan sulfate expression and determine whether AT-heparan sulfate interactions are necessary for its anti-inflammatory properties.

This study was undertaken to establish a culture system to evaluate the effect of female hormones on the growth of ULM cells in each ULM subtype.
Methods: ULM cells isolated from MED12m(+) or MED12m(-) tissues were cultured in a monolayer for 7 days with four hormone treatments: estrogen (E) and progesterone (P) (E + P), E only (E), P only (P), and medium only (CTRL).

Movento an insecticide containing spirotetramat, has been shown to cause severe toxicity in humans and rats. Due to the widespread use of the Movento in agriculture, and since the cardiac effects of this toxin have not been investigated in any study so far, in this study, for the first time, the effect of movento on the structure and function of the heart in rats was investigated. 24 adults' male Wistar rats randomly divided to 4 experimental groups: 1- control (CTL), 2- Movento (M) 3- M + Basal media (BM) 4- M + Conditioned medium (CM).
