The sample comprises a total of 1386 permanent teeth of different morphological types were recognized and graded as to the feature of enamel hypoplasia The examine of the e...

Context. While [O iii] narrow-band imaging is commonly used to measure the size of the narrow-line regions (NLRs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs), it can be contaminated by emission from surrounding starbursts. Recently, we have shown that long-slit spectroscopy provides a valuable alternative approach to probe the size in terms of AGN photoionisation. Moreover, several parameters of the NLR c...

purpose: to assess the effect and long-term results of oral propranolol in pediatric capillary hemangiomas. methods: four children aged 3 months to 5 years with periocular and orbital hemangioma of infancy (hoi) were treated with propranolol, 2 milligram per kilogram per day divided in 2 doses. propranolol was continued in all cases until the end of the first year of life and tapered over 2-3 w...

This study was designed to investigate the therapeutic effects of saffron (Crocus Sativus L) and its main constituent crocin on neuropathic pain behavioral responses induced by chronic constriction injury (CCI) in rats. Adult male Wistar rats (200 to 250 g) were randomly assigned into 5 groups: Sham + saline, CCI + saline, CCI+ saffron (30 mg/kg), CCI +crocin (15 mg/kg) and CCI + crocin (30 mg/...

Background: P2X4 receptor (P2X4R), a purinoceptor expressed in activated spinal microglia, plays a key role in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain. Spinal nerve injury induces up-regulation of P2X4R on activated microglia in the spinal cord, and blockade of this receptor can reduce neuropathic pain. The present study was undertaken to determine whether paroxetine, an inhibitor of P2X4R, could ...
