Objective(s)CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODNs) have been shown to have potent immunostimulatory adjuvant activity for a wide range of antigens. Due to susceptibility of phosphodiester CpG ODNs (PO CpG) to nuclease degradation, nuclease-resistant phosphorothioate CpG ODNs (PS CpG) were currently utilized in an in vivo model. In this study, according to some recently reported drawbacks with PS ...

PURPOSE In this article, a new method of upper lip augmentation using a bilateral buccal fat pad flap is reported. This prospective study evaluated the changes in the upper lip that occur after maxillary surgery with concomitant mobilization of the bilateral buccal fat to improve upper lip projection. MATERIALS AND METHODS A bilateral pedicled buccal fat pad flap to fill the premaxilla, paran...

Bilateral cleft lip repairs can result in various secondary deformities. One more commonly seen deformity, the whistle deformity, is characterized by a reduced or absent tubercle, orbicularis muscle diastasis, and abnormalities of the philtrum with notched appearance of cupid's bow. Various techniques have been described to address these problems. One common procedure is the lip-switch flap ori...

Purpose: To evaluate the severity of early radiation reactions and first results proton therapy treatment patients with squamous cell carcinoma head neck. Material methods: From January 2019 to March 2022, more than 1 400 received on proton-cyclotron complex ProteusPlus235. The search for was carried out in database who oncological diseases FMBA system Russia. study included 62 confirmed unifyi...

A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine gender specific correlation between lip print, finger print and blood group among 120 adult clinical cases in a tertiary hospital Kathmandu. Lip prints were collected using lipstick cellophane sheet. Thumb commercially available ink pad white paper analyzed hand held magnifying lens. Blood noted at the time of recording thumb print. statistical...

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm of the lips, and in about 90% of cases it is located on the lower lip due to higher cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The authors present two surgical techniques for reconstruction of large lower lip defects, resulting from surgical excision of tumors, exemplifying and comparing them with two clinical cases.

We present a lip contour tracking algorithm using attractorguided particle filtering. Usually it is difficult to robustly track the lip contour because the lip contour is highly deformable and the contrast between skin and lip colors is very low. It makes the traditional blind segmentation-based algorithms often fail to have robust and realistic results. But in fact, the lip contour is constrai...

Congenital fistulas of the lip are commonly found in the lower lip and accompany cleft lip. They are seen as a symptom of Van der Woude syndrome, which is predominantly hereditary. In contrast, congenital fistulas of the upper lip are rare. A number of hypotheses have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of fistulas of the upper lip, including fusion failure of facial prominences and absen...

Objectives :  (1) To collect three-dimensional, dynamic facial images from two groups of infants: one group born with cleft lip and palate slated to have a primary lip repair and a second, age-matched, noncleft control group. (2) To develop analyses to determine differences in facial movement between infants with cleft lip with or without palate (CL±P) and noncleft control infants and to determ...

Lip print: The science under which lip prints study referred as Cheiloscopy. Establishing a person’s identity is a very important process in civil and criminal cases. . Lip prints help in personal identification and criminal investigation is very much important as his evidence would be very much useful in law and justice. Dental identification, fingerprint and DNA comparisons are probably the m...
