The effect of mandibular reconstruction plates on the dose distribution of megavoltage photons was analysed. All treated patients showed the normal reactions expected from radiation therapy regardless the modification of dose distribution by the metal plates. For dose estimation measurements were done in a phantom with photons of the energy 60Co to 42 MV and different material.

Neuropathic pain is a disorder affecting the somatosensory nervous system. However, this condition is also characterized by significant neuroinflammation, primarily involving CNS-resident non-neuronal cells. A promising target for developing new analgesics is histamine H receptor (HR); thus, we aimed to determine the influence of a novel HR antagonist/inverse agonist, E-98 (1-(7-(4-chlorophenoxy)heptyl)-3-methylpiperidine), on pain symptoms and glia activation in model of neuropathic pain in male mice (chronic constriction injury to the sciatic nerve).

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality, and easy to develop resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. Telomeres are DNA-protein complexes located at the termini of chromosomes in eukaryotic cells, which are unreplaceable in maintaining the stability and integrity of genome. Telomerase, an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase, play vital role in telomere length maintain, targeting telomerase is a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer.

The challenge of imaging low-density objects in an electron microscope without causing beam damage is significant in modern transmission electron microscopy. This is especially true for life science imaging, where the sample, rather than the instrument, still determines the resolution limit. Here, we explore whether we have to accept this or can progress further in this area.

Nowadays, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been introduced as one of the minimally invasive methods for disinfection of the surfaces of dental implants. Being derived from seaweed, Chlorella has been used as a photosensitizer in this study. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of aPDT with Chlorella on the rate of reduction of in vitro.

Flurbiprofen (FBP) is poorly water-soluble BCS class II drug with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, used to treat arthritis and degenerative joint diseases. This study was aimed to develop SNEDDS loaded with FBP. Six SNEDDS using two oils olive oil (F, F, F) and castor oil (F, F, F) with three different Smix ratios consisting of Tween 20 and PEG 400 (1:1, 1:2, 2:1) were prepared and characterized.
