background: the aim of this clinical trial study was to clinically evaluate the use of enamel matrix protein derivative combined with the coronally positioned fl ap to treat gingival recession compared to the subepithelial connective tissue graft by a new method to obtain denuded root surface area. materials and methods: thirteen patients, each with two or more similar bilateral miller class i ...

Introduction: Coverage of bone grafts is very important in reconstructive surgery. In edentulous alveolar ridges this coverage is particularly important for supporting dental prostheses. Here we present the case of a patient with a large deficient maxillary anterior region that was reconstructed with a bilateral palatal submucosal periosteal connective tissue flap: a soft tissue reserve for up...

cosmic rays in the upper troposphere (9000 meters to 15000 meters) initiate the followingnuclear chemical reaction: 1n + 14n => 14c + 1h. previous research has shown a strong effect of latitude onthe abundance of neutrons from cosmic rays. however, to date, there has been little exploration of therelationship between the latitude effect for cosmic-ray neutrons and latitudinal variations of stab...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we consider a new study about fractional $Delta$-difference equations‎. ‎We consider two special classes of Sturm-Liouville problems equipped with fractional $Delta$-difference operators‎. ‎In couple of steps‎, ‎the Lyapunov type inequalities for both classes will be obtained‎. ‎As application‎, ‎some qualitative behaviour of mentioned fractional problems such as stability‎, ‎...

Minor aberrant pathways of cholesterol biosynthesis normally produce only trace levels of abnormal sterol metabolites but may assume major importance when an essential biosynthetic step is blocked. Cholesta-5,8-dien-3beta-ol, its Delta(5,7) isomer, and other noncholesterol sterols accumulate in subjects with the Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS), a severe developmental disorder caused by a defe...

Studies have suggested that continuous Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in nascent cartilaginous skeletal elements blocks chondrocyte hypertrophy and endochondral ossification, whereas signaling starting at later stages stimulates hypertrophy and ossification, indicating that Wnt/beta-catenin roles are developmentally regulated. To test this conclusion further, we created transgenic mice expressing a...

We studied alterations in structural and mechanical properties of mesenteric arterial resistance vessels from young (6-week) and old (50-week) spontaneously hypertensive (SHR)and matched normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Emphasis was placed upon relating the active tension capabilities of these vessels to their smooth muscle cell content. Cylindrical segments, 0.7 mm long with internal diam...

a new class of nonlinear set-valued variationalinclusions involving $(a,eta)$-monotone mappings in a banachspace setting is introduced, and then based on the generalizedresolvent operator technique associated with$(a,eta)$-monotonicity, the existence and approximationsolvability of solutions using an iterative algorithm and fixedpint theory is investigated.
