Background: Peripheral vascular injury associated with lower limb trauma is a well-known emergency. The experience for the management of popliteal artery trauma have mainly come from managing the traumas of military personnels during Iran-Iraq war. The present study compared the effects of two currently-used surgical techniques in the management of popliteal trauma, namley femoropopliteal bypas...

RNA silencing describes the sequence specific degradation of RNA targets. Silencing is a non-cell autonomous event that is graft transmissible in different plant species. The present study is the first report on systemic acquired dsRNA-mediated gene silencing of transgenic and endogenous gene sequences in a woody plant like apple. Transgenic apple plants overexpressing a hairpin gene construct ...

Background: Iliac osteotomies in adolescent patients may accompany graft related difficulties such as graft absorptionand delayed union. A new modification of iliac osteotomies has been proposed to address these difficulties.Methods: A total of 24 consecutive hip joints in 21 juvenile or adolescent patients who were candidate for salter ortriple pelvic osteotomy were included....

conclusions by controlling the modifiable risk factors and modality of treatment in our study, physicians can reach more effective treatment. results at the end of the study, long-term graft failure was seen in 27 (10.2%) cases. one-year and 2-year graft survival after diagnosis of cancer were 93.6% and 91.7%, respectively. the univariate analysis showed that the incidence of chronic graft loss...

PURPOSE To describe a case of secondary amyloidosis that occurred in a corneal graft. METHODS A 30-year-old Japanese woman had opacities in the corneal graft in her right eye. Slit-lamp microscopy examination demonstrated nodular, subepithelial opacities in the graft. Results of a physical examination and her past medical history were unremarkable, except for a history of a penetrating kerato...

Impacted morsellised allografts have been used successfully to address the problem of poor bone stock in revision surgery. However, there are concerns about the transmission of pathogens, the high cost and the shortage of supply of donor bone. Bone-graft extenders, such as tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA), have been developed to minimise the use of donor bone. In a human cadav...

this study aims at exploring an effective route in the in situ graft polymerization of aniline from fe3o4 nanoparticles. to this goal, fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by coprecipitation method using ammonia solution as the precipitating agent, and were characterized by fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transmission electron microscopy (tem)....

background and aims. localized gingival recession presents as a special therapeutic problem. subjective parameters and donor site morbidity are often overlooked while deciding on any treatment option. materials and methods. 22 subjects were equally divided in group a (lateral pedicle graft) and group b (free mucosal graft). subjective evaluation of post operative sensitivity, discomfort and ble...
