Momordica charantia Linn. is used as an edible and medicinal vegetable in sub-tropical areas. Until now, studies on its composition related activities have been confined to compounds of low molecular mass, no data reported concerning the plant's polysaccharides. In this work, a crude polysaccharide M. (MCP) fruit was isolated by hot water extraction then purified using DEAE-52 cellulose anion-exchange chromatography produce two main fractions MCP1 MCP2. The immunomodulatory effects...

Objective: Finite element analysis (FEA) of the biomechanical properties modified extraoral distractor device used in mandibular distraction craniofacial microsomia patients. Materials and Methods: models 5 patients under 2 working conditions, instance when is activated participates mastication, were included current study. To conduct FEA, load boundary conditions (35.6 N on for first condition 50 unoperated side, 100 200 both sides second condition) applied. Besides, constraint contact also...

The intake of oleic acid-rich fats, a hallmark the Mediterranean diet, has well-documented beneficial effects on human metabolic health. One key mechanisms underlying these is regulation gut microbiota structure and function. However, most existing studies focus bacteria, while fungi, as vital component microbiota, remain largely unexplored. This study compared regular peanut oil (PO) high-oleic acid (HOPO) mycobiome serum metabolome employing ITS high-throughput sequencing UPLC-MS/MS...

Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) is the second most common congenital craniofacial deformity, presenting diverse clinical manifestations and treatments that may influence oral bacteria dysbiosis (OBD). However, research linking CFM to OBD limited. Saliva samples were collected from 20 patients with 24 controls. We compared microflora gene function using 16 S ribosomal RNA sequencing metagenomics. also evaluated correlation between phenotypes microbiota community structure. Patients demonstrated...

Percutaneous kyphoplasty might be effective for osteoporotic Kümmell disease.To investigate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous in hyperextension disease.Retrospective study.A retrospective analysis was carried out on data from downstream balloon treatments 18 patients with disease. All cases were single-segment disease affecting T5 (1 case), T7 T8 (2 cases), T11 (6 T12 (4 L1 L2 or L4 case). Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry bone mineral density values ranged -2.8 to -5.8 SD. The sagittal...

Parry-Romberg syndrome is an acquired facial deformity that manifests as progressive hemifacial atrophy has unknown cause. Many surgical techniques to address it have been reported, such fat transplantation and use of free flaps. Undoubtedly, the results can be satisfactory for mild after soft tissue restoration. But in severe cases, except large-scale atrophy, osseous framework involved, rendering their management difficult, are often inadequate. On basis severity extent involvement...

Mandibular distraction is a well-established method of correcting facial asymmetry in hemifacial microsomia. However, lower width remains after because its inability to increase bone thickness. Therefore, the authors used mandibular outer cortex grafting augment face following restore symmetry.From January 1997 December 2007, 21 patients with microsomia underwent unilateral followed by augmentation using graft harvested from normal side. Age at surgery ranged 7 27 years. Facial symmetry was...

The position and contour of the chin are important components in facial harmony balance. In aesthetic contouring lower face, mandibular angle, body, should be considered as 1 unit. Any developmental broad or residual square after angle osteotomy can often make face appear unattractive. For correction chin, technique horizontal-T genioplasty has been introduced; however, manipulation this is sometimes complicated during repositioning fixation because there multiple lines if muscular...

Background/Objectives: An inappropriate intake of dietary fats can disrupt the homeostasis intestinal microbiota, affect host’s metabolic status, and increase risk chronic diseases. The impact fat types on composition functionality microbiota has become a research focus over recent years. objective this study was to explore effects regular peanut oil (PO) high-oleic-acid (HOPO) function microbiota. Methods: A intervention test conducted SD rats fed high-fat/high-fructose (HFF) diet....

Treacher Collins syndrome is a congenital craniofacial malformation affecting the structures derived from first and second brachial arches. For complete form, deformities can be severe; both orbital-zygomatic region mandible as well soft tissues should reconstructed. To explore surgical management of this kind deformities, we proposed our protocol for staged reconstruction: (1) upper-facial reconstruction with specially designed outer calvarial table, (2) mandibular lengthening by...

Abstract Background Severe atrophic acne scars (AAS) remain the “Achilles's heel” of AAS treatment. The combination microfat and subcision treatment is a potential solution for severe AAS. Aims This study aimed to evaluate efficacy safety combined (Grade 4) Methods Data patients with Grade 4 who underwent between September 2016 December 2020 were reviewed. Post‐treatment evaluation was performed at least 3 months postoperatively. severity graded based on Goodman's qualitative classification....

BACKGROUND: Kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) is a short but painful intervention. Different anesthetic techniques have been proposed to control pain during kyphoplasty; however, all limitations. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block with local anesthesia percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). METHODS: In this prospective study, non-randomized patients OVCF undergoing PKP received either (group P) or...

BACKGROUND: It is important to evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of posterior internal fixation using pedicle screw system. OBJECTIVES: To investigate characteristics patients diagnosed with fracture-dislocation the thoracic spine or without minimal spinal cord. METHODS: Twe nty-eight cord injury were retrospectively analyzed. All received reduction RESULTS: The mean follow-up duration was 11.4 months. Among 28 patients, 24 cases complicated bilateral laminal fracture. Preoperatively,...

To characterise the morphology of temporal bone in patients with craniofacial microsomia (CFM).

To investigate condylar bone density (BD) in children with craniofacial microsomia (CFM) and identify factors that contribute to early stage resorption (CR) after mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO).
