Post-traumatic long bone osteomyelitis (PTOM) is a relatively frequent occurrence in patients with severe open fractures and requires treatment to prevent limb-threatening complications. The Masquelet technique represents a length-independent, two-staged reconstruction that involves the induction of a periosteal membrane and use of an antibiotic-impregnated cement spacer for the treatment of se...

Cancer is one of the non-communicable diseases but a health problem in world, including Indonesia. The results 2018 Basic Health Research showed that prevalence cancer rose from 1.4% 2013 to 1.8% 2018. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) malignant disease characterized by progressive infiltration immature lymphoid cells bone marrow and lymphatic organs. , with leukocyte proliferating irregularly...

background: silk fibroin is a suitable protein for osteogenesis by inducing markers of bone formation in the cultures of osteoblasts, so we examined the ability of this protein to induce mineralized nodules in the rat bone marrow stromal cell cultures. methods: bone marrow stromal cells obtained from 4 to 6 weeks old spruge-dawely male rats were grown in primary culture for seven days and then ...

The aim of this study was to isolate mouse embryonic stem cells from late blastocyst stage embryos and to use them as a model system for the study of hematopoietic induction outside the embryo by coculturing of embryonic stem cells with bone marrow stromal cells. Blastocyst stage embryos from pregnant NMRI mice were obtained and cultured for 1-2 days in DMEM medium. The inner cell masses formed...

Analysis of the remission induction phase in three Medical Research Council trials of treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia has provided evidence of the adverse effect of the combination of colaspase (L-asparaginase) with vincristine and prednisolone. Significant myelosuppression, particularly of the granulocytic series, resulted in an increase in Gram-negative sepsis and death during the ...

BACKGROUND Conventional dentoalveolar osseous reconstruction often involves the use of grafting materials with or without barrier membranes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of bone induction for the placement of dental implants by two concentrations of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) delivered on a bioabsorbable collagen sponge (ACS) compared to p...

OBJECTIVE Bone is perpetually absorbed and reformed, serving also to electrolyte homeostasis, mainly for calcium and phosphorus. Anticonvulsant medications are traditionally considered harmful to bone because of their interaction with the metabolism of vitamin D, due to hepatic enzyme induction. A study of the effect of anticonvulsant medications on mandibular bone quality was undertaken. MAT...

Abstract Objectives Rehabilitation of edentulous ridges to promote the insertion dental implants has been key indicator for retaining osseous structures since tooth extraction. Recombinant Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2(rhBMP-2) is exploited bone augmentation due its osteoinductive capacity. The objective study determine effectiveness induction implant placement by rhBMP-2 delivered on beta-trica...
