High-pressure processing is a nonthermal method of food processing that is widely used in sterilization and enzyme inactivation. Although some works on technological parameters and quality evaluation have been performed, the mechanism of high pressure on food is still unclear. Due to the complexity of food ingredients, a tremendously important…[Read more]

tify risk factors of lung cancer in the elderly. The proposed models provided intervention indicators to prevent lung cancer, especially in older men. This approach might be used as a risk factor identification tool to apply in other cancers and help physicians make decisions on cancer prevention. ©Songjing Chen, Sizhu Wu.

The relevance of circular RNAs (circRNAs) has been indicated in the progression of various diseases. Nevertheless, the precise function of circRNAs in osteoarthritis (OA) remains to be established. Therefore, we aimed to investigate changes in the expression of a specific circRNA, hsa_circ_0134111 (circ_PDE1C) and predict its functions in OA. A…[Read more]

No statistically significant relationship was found between the parameters, clinical subtypes of onychomycosis and demographic characteristics (p>.05).

Patients with onychomycosis showed a shifted thiol/disulphide homeostasis towards oxidative stress with a reduction in thiols and an increase in disulphide/native thiol, and…[Read more]

Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are a class of anti-hypertensive drugs that act by blocking aldosterone action. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the MRAs spironolactone and eplerenone influence adrenal cortical physiology and morphology. Spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR, n = 18) and normotensive rats (WKY, n = 18) were…[Read more]

The percentage of wounds suffered through biting was significantly reduced in the groups exposed to enrichment devices, notably in the turtles exposed to the SS device, followed by the RS device. Significant differences between experimental groups in the specific activities of the major intestinal protein-digesting enzymes (trypsin and…[Read more]

Proclined teeth has been one of the main reasons for compromised esthetics. In a patient with proclined anteriors, retraction is done after 1

premolar extraction. Absolute/maximum anchorage is required to achieve the best esthetics.

We conducted this study with the aim of retracting the proclined maxillary anterior teeth and to check…[Read more]
