Cephalometric tracing is a standard analysis tool for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The aim of this study was to develop validate fully automatic landmark annotation (FALA) system finding cephalometric landmarks in lateral cephalograms its application the classification skeletal malformations. Digital 400 subjects (age range: 7-76 years) were available. All had been manually traced by two experienced orthodontists with 19 landmarks, eight clinical parameters calculated each...
Engineering the cellular microenvironment has great potential to create a platform technology toward engineering of tissue and organs. This study aims engineer neural through fabrication three-dimensional (3D) engineered collagen matrixes mimicking in-vivo-like conditions. Collagen was chemically modified with pentapeptide epitope consisting isoleucine-lysine-valine-alanine-valine (IKVAV) mimic laminin structure supports extracellular matrix (ECM). Three-dimensional without IKVAV peptide...
Stem cells (SCs) are characterized by the ability to undergo self-renewal and differentiation into multi-lineage cell types. The low risk donors, ease of harvest, abundance in human body adipose-derived SCs make it an attractive source for adult SCs. Oral adipose tissue was collected clinical surgery as certified Institutional Review Board. were isolated purified with collagenase containing Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) confirmed immunofluorescence staining early stage germinal...
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is associated with various developmental issues that affecting dentition. We aimed to determine whether AR an increased risk of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) in Taiwanese individuals. used the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) conduct a nested case-control study. compared cohort matched patients without AR. New TDI cases were determined during our study period. To compare between cohorts, we Cox proportional regression analysis, and hazard...
Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes dysfunction of salivation and harmful oral conditions. The association between periodontal (PD) pSS with or without geniquin therapy remains controversial. This study evaluated the risk subsequent development PD in patients. From Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database, we selected control cohort 106,818 patients, followed up from 2000 to 2015, matched (1:4) by age index year 427,272 non-pSS We also...
