Abstract Purpose. To demonstrate appropriate treatment methods for mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN) by evaluating previous results. Methods. The relationship between the time interval after radiation therapy (RT) and severity of ORN was examined. Eighty‐seven patients were classified according to extent lesion (grades), cure rates calculated RT modality, grade, method ORN. Results. later developed higher dose irradiation, particularly among who received external RT, more it progressed....
Abstract In response to a moisture gradient, roots exhibit hydrotropism control the orientation of their growth. To hydrotropism, however, they must overcome gravitropism that is dominant on Earth. We found gradient or water stress caused immediate degradation starch anchors, amyloplasts, in root columella cells Arabidopsis and radish (Raphanus sativus). Namely, development hydrotropic was accompanied by simultaneous reduction content cells. Rapid amyloplasts also occurred water-stressed...

The effects of ketamine on CNS electrical activities (EEC and multiple-unit activity the brain-stem core) gross behavior were studied in cats with chronically implanted electrodes. Ketamine induced three distinct patterns, related to dose An initial excitation coupled catatonic was followed by disorganized characterized a catatonie-anesthetic state finally, electrographic seizures without clinical correlates. During period increased. Following this, basal level decreased, but increased...

Background/Objectives: Undernutrition increases the mortality risk in older persons requiring long-term care; further, it is associated with oral functions such as swallowing and chewing. Moreover, occlusion affects function crucially involved nutritional intake. The present study aimed to examine association between number of molar occlusions undernutrition according body mass index (BMI) care. Methods: Japanese care were categorized based on BMI (<20 kg/m2 vs. 20 kg/m2). We examined (one...
ABSTRACT Objective To date, no studies have directly investigated the association between oral health management (OHM) and food forms. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate OHM by dental hygienists forms in older adults admitted long‐term care facilities (LTCFs). Background involves maintenance may prevent weight loss pneumonia LTCFs. Materials Methods Older LTCFs Japan ( n = 273) who participated baseline (2018) follow‐up (2019) surveys were evaluated. Basic characteristics, medical...
Hypoxia is a common feature of cancer and prognostic factor for many types cancer. (18)F-fluoromisonidazole ((18)F-FMISO) PET can detect tumor hypoxia noninvasively. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) key player in the transcriptional response to low oxygen tension Its activity mainly dependent on stability modification HIF-1α, which composition HIF-1. However, it unclear whether (18)F-FMISO identify HIF-1α expression oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The present study was performed...
Aim Efforts to combat frailty and preserve good health in older adults have highlighted oral as an early indicator of overall frailty. Individuals showing are at elevated risk insufficient nutritional intake compared with those without frailty; however, underlying mechanisms remain poorly explored. In this cross‐sectional study, we aimed examine the link between undernutrition, especially regarding poor appetite low dietary diversity. Methods The analysis included 2727 late‐stage (mean age...
Human HOX genes consist of 39 and encode transcription factors that function as master developmental regulators. We hypothesized the misexpression was associated with carcinogenesis malignant progression. The expression levels in 31 human oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), 11 dysplasia, 10 normal mucosa tissues were quantified by real-time RT-PCR method. 18 SCC significantly higher than those tissues. dysplasia showed HOXA2, A3, B3, D10 whereas they lower HOXA1, B7, B9, C8 SCC. lymph node...
