background and aims: plasma rich in growth factors (prgfs) has been recently proposed as an aid to enhance regeneration of osseous and epithelial tissues in oral surgery. the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of local application of platelet rich plasma (prp) on implant stability measured by periotest. materials and methods: a total of 24 implants were placed in mandible of 12 l...

Case Description- Three domestic short haired cats (2, 5 and 4 years of age) were presented to the Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital, with the history of large chronic, full thickness wounds on the right lateral cervical, left caudal forearm and right lateral thoracic region respectively. Etiology of the wounds was trauma in two cases and thermal burns in the third ca...

Objective- The aim of this study was to investigate the PRP effects on the early time-period during tendon healing in rabbits DDF tendon. Design-Experimental study Animals- Twenty male New Zealand white rabbits Procedure-PRP samples were prepared using twice centrifugation method of modification of the Cuarsan...

insulin resistance syndrome, also referred to as the metabolic syndrome or syndrome x, refers to a constellation of common metabolic and cardiovascular disorders (e.g. obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia), which are all cardiovascular risk factors. insulin resistance can be induced by fructose-rich diet in rats. we investigated the effect of vanadyl sulfate (0.2 mg...

background: the human seminal fluid is a complex body fluid. it is not known how many proteins are expressed in the seminal plasma; however in analog with the blood it is possible up to 10,000 proteins are expressed in the seminal plasma. the human seminal fluid is a rich source of potential biomarkers for male infertility and reproduction disorder. methods: in this review, the ongoing list of ...

objective: cigarette is a rich source of oxidants and reactive nitrogen species. nitric oxide (no) in high concentration has deleterious effects on human sperm function. antioxidant defense system in seminal plasma protects spermatozoa from the attack of reactive oxygen metabolites. the purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between cigarette smoking with the no levels and the t...

periodontal regeneration in a one-wall intrabony defect is a challenging and complex phenomenon. the combination therapy of commercially available bone grafts with the innovative tissue engineering strategy, the platelet rich plasma, has emerged as a promising grafting modality for two and three walled intrabony osseous defects. the application of this combination approach was attempted in a mo...
