Objective: A vagus nerve–mediated, brain cholinergic protective mechanism activated by melanocortin peptides is operative in conditions of circulatory shock; moreover, there anatomical evidence dual vagal-cardiac efferent pathways rats, which could play different roles controlling heart function. Therefore, we investigated the role and functional such vagal pathway(s) an experimental model ischemic disease. Design: Randomized study. Setting: Research laboratory. Subjects: Adult Wistar rats...
The morphological changes undergone by the osteoblast at ultrastructural level, during its differentiation into osteocyte, were studied in primary parallel-fibred bone of newborn rabbit means incomplete three-dimensional reconstruction from partially serial-sectioned preosteocytes. findings obtained suggest that formation osteocyte cytoplasmic processes is an asynchronous and asymmetrical phenomenon seems to precede mineralization organic matrix give rise mature osteocyte. functions as...
Abstract Objective Prosthetic abutment height and peri‐implant mucosal thickness are considered factors that influence marginal bone remodeling during biological width establishment around dental implants. However, no clinical studies have evaluated their simultaneous effect on loss (MBL). This study analyzes the of MBL implants surrounded by both thin thick mucosa up to 12 months after prosthetic loading. Material methods Seventy platform‐switched with internal hex were placed equicrestally...
Ischemic stroke is one of the main causes death and disability. We investigated whether melanocortin peptides, which have protective effects in severe hypoxic conditions, also produce neuroprotection a gerbil model ischemic stroke. A 10-min period global cerebral ischemia, induced by occluding both common carotid arteries, caused impairment spatial learning memory that was associated with activation inflammatory apoptotic pathways, including DNA damage delayed neuronal death, hippocampus....
The aims of this work were to histologically examine the healing mineralized human bone allograft (MHBA) in sinus augmentation for elevating a severe maxillary atrophy ridge (≤2 mm residual height) and correlate results cavity size.A two-stage protocol was conducted 23 patients, all having crestal ≤2 mm. A mixture 80/20 cortical/cancellous MHBA particles used augment using lateral window approach narrow (NS; <15 bucco-palatal distance) wide (WS; ≥15 sinuses, based upon computerized...
The aim of this study was to clinically and histologically analyze the healing grafted sockets by mineralized human bone allograft (MHBA) nongrafted sockets, correlating results with buccal plate thickness.Thirty-one were randomly split into control (CG) treatment (MHBA grafted) (TG) groups and, subsequently, four subgroups according thickness: a ≤ 1 mm b > mm. Ridge thickness, depth, height monitored. Four months after, at implant placement, core biopsy for histologic morphometric analyses...
Backgroud: Alzheimer disease is an age-related severe neurodegenerative pathology. The level of the third endogenous gas, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), decreased in brain Alzheimer's (AD) patients compared with age-matched normal individuals; also, plasma H2S levels are negatively correlated severity AD. Recently, we have demonstrated that systemic injections neuroprotective early phase preclinical AD.This study focuses on possible neuroprotection a chronic treatment donor and sulfurous water...
Abstract Objectives: This work aims to evaluate the regenerative potential of platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) on an implant site peculiar clinical impact, such as sinus augmentation. Material and methods: Sixteen consenting patients (11 females five males), with symmetrical maxillary atrophy, underwent bilateral floor augmentation, using autologous (iliac crest) bone one side PRP plus contralaterally. Implants were inserted 4, 5, 6 7 months after surgery in randomly split into four groups....
A vagus nerve-mediated, efferent cholinergic protective pathway activated by melanocortins is operative in circulatory shock and myocardial ischemia. Moreover, have neuroprotective effects against brain damage after ischemic stroke. Here we investigated cerebral systemic pathophysiologic reactions to focal ischemia rats induced intrastriatal microinjection of endothelin-1, the possible role melanocortin-activated vagal pathway. In striatum liver saline-treated control rats, activation...
ABSTRACT Objective: Observational studies on the association among systemic/general and oral cavity indices, tooth loss, periodontal conditions, socioeconomic inequalities are to be still performed in population of Southern Europe. This study aims determine extent this relationship Italian healthy adults 50 years age above. Materials Methods: Socioeconomic lifestyle characteristics, cardiovascular indicators, systemic indices were examined by contrasting dental adult people Northern Italy....
This retrospective study quantitatively analyzed the minimum prosthetic abutment height to eliminate bone loss after 4.7-mm-diameter implant placement in maxillary and how grafting techniques can affect marginal implants placed areas.Two different types with a similar neck design were singularly two groups of patients: test group, platform-switched implants, control conventional (non-platform-switched) implants. Patients requiring augmentation underwent unilateral sinus using transcrestal...
