Growth delay is common in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD), often associated with poor quality of life. The role of anemia in uremic growth delay is poorly understood. Here we describe an induction of uremic growth retardation by 0.2% adenine diet in wild type (WT) and hepcidin gene (Hamp) knock-out (KO) mice, compared with their respective littermates fed a regular diet.
Mineralising and antibacterial effects of modified calcium phosphate treatment on human root cementum
Aging population will lead to the increase of incidence of root caries globally. The clinical management of root caries is challenging due to the difficulty in moisture isolation. The root caries is caused by the release of organic acids from cariogenic bacteria which results in the dissolution of cementum and dentin of the root.
Treatment of Articular Cartilage Defects With Microfracture and Autologous Matrix-Induced Chondrogenesis Leads to Extensive Subchondral Bone Cyst Formation in a Sheep Model
A HISTOMORPHOMETRIC EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF PLATELETRICH FIBRIN AND RIFAMYCIN IN COMBINATION WITH AN ALLOGRAFT ON BONE AUGMENTATION WITH SIMULTANEOUS IMPLANT PLACEMENT IN RABBIT TIBIA
Dental implants protruding 2 mm were covered with dome-shaped stiff occlusive titanium barriers filled with demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA)+saline (7 rabbits), DFDBA + rifamycin (8 rabbits), or DFDB +PRF (8 rabbits). After 4 weeks, the animals were sacrificed, and undecalcified histomorphometric examination with toluidine blue staining was performed.
