Biofluorescence imaging system (BIS) Guided surgery for MRONJ: A Case Series on the Preservation of Teeth and Implants: Biofluorescence imaging system guided MRONJ surgery.

The decision of surgical margin for Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) surgery is challenging. Recently, a method involving biofluorescence imaging system (BIS) has been reported for its application in MRONJ surgery to live detection of pathologic bone tissue from vital bone, which cannot be distinguished during conventional surgery. This case series aimed to assess the outcomes of adjacent teeth and implants near the lesion site in MRONJ patients who underwent BIS-guided MRONJ surgery.

Primary Solid Pseudopapillary Tumor of the Ovary: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Introduction: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) are rare and mainly originate from the pancreas. SPNs originating from the ovary (SPN-O) are extremely rare, and only 13 cases have been reported in the English literature since 2010.

Single-Entity Electrochemistry in the Agarose Hydrogel: Observation of Enhanced Signal Uniformity and Signal-to-Noise Ratio.

For the first time, single-entity electrochemistry (SEE) was demonstrated in a hydrogel matrix. SEE involves the investigation of the electrochemical characteristics of individual nanoparticles (NPs) by observing the signal generated when a single NP, suspended in an aqueous solution, collides with an electrode and triggers catalytic reactions. Challenges associated with SEE in electrolyte-containing solutions such as signal variation due to NP aggregation and noise fluctuation caused by convection phenomena can be addressed by employing a hydrogel matrix.

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Bridging Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Vibegron in Treating Korean Patients With Overactive Bladder.

Purpose: Vibegron, a novel, potent β3 agonist, has been approved for clinical use in overactive bladder (OAB) treatment in Japan and the Unites States. We performed a bridging study to investigate the efficacy and safety of a daily 50-mg vibegron (code name JLP-2002) dose in Korean patients with OAB.

Methods: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted from September 2020 to August 2021.

Clinical Effectiveness of Vestibular Shields in Orthodontic Treatment: A Scoping Review.

This systematic literature search was performed to determine the clinical effectiveness of vestibular shields (VSs) in children undergoing orthodontic treatment. A comprehensive electronic search was performed in May 2022 using three databases (Medline via PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Ovid). The initial screening of articles was based on titles and abstracts.

Deferiprone-Resveratrol Hybrid, an Iron-Chelating Compound, Acts as an Antimalarial and Hepatoprotective Agent in -Infected Mice.

Free heme in plasma acts as a prooxidant; thus, it is bound to hemopexin and eliminated by the liver. High iron content in the liver can support growth and cause oxidative liver injury. Inversely, the withholding of excessive iron can inhibit this growth and protect the liver against malaria infection.

Application of virtual simulation situational model in Russian spatial preposition teaching.

The purpose is to improve the teaching quality of Russian spatial prepositions in colleges. This work takes teaching Russian spatial prepositions as an example to study the key technologies in 3D Virtual Simulation (VS) teaching. 3D VS situational teaching is a high-end visual teaching technology.

Development of E-ice-COLD-PCR assay combined with HRM analysis for Nucleophosmin1 gene mutation detection in acute myelogenous leukemia.

Mutations of the nucleophosmin1 (NPM1) gene represent the most frequent molecular alteration in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), especially in patients with AML who have a normal karyotype. These alterations have been shown to carry favorable prognostic significance in patients with AML. Several methods have been developed for detection of NPM1 gene mutations.

Oral health for healthy ageing.

Over the past 70 years, the global population and age structure have been changing rapidly. Analyses from the 2017 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study forecasted a continuation of global ageing throughout the remainder of the 21st century, creating major challenges for health-care systems to ensure healthy longevity for ageing societies. Oral health is an intrinsic constituent of general health and wellbeing; however, oral health is largely overlooked on the global health agenda.

Implementation and evaluation of the peer-training program for village health volunteers to improve chronic disease management among older adults in rural Thailand.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of a peer-training program for village health volunteers (VHVs) to improve chronic disease management among older adults in rural Thailand.

Methods: The study was guided by community-based participatory research (CBPR).

Anti-Obesity Effects of Polymethoxyflavone-Rich Fraction from Jinkyool ( Hort. ex Tanaka) Leaf on Obese Mice Induced by High-Fat Diet.

Polymethoxyflavones (PMFs) are flavonoids exclusively found in certain citrus fruits and have been reported to be beneficial to human health. Most studies have been conducted with PMFs isolated from citrus peels, while there is no study on PMFs isolated from leaves. In this study, we prepared a PMF-rich fraction (PRF) from the leaves of Hort ex.
