    Abstract Objectives: This study sought to compare efficiency results between the use of a customized implant (CI) and a reconstruction plate (RP) in mandibular defect reconstruction in an animal model.
    Materials and methods: Fifteen rabbits underwent surgery to create a defect in the right side of the mandible and were randomly divided into two groups. For reconstruction of the mandibular defect, the RP group (n=5) received five-hole mini-plates without bone grafting and the CI group (n=10) received fabricated CIs based on the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data taken preoperatively. The CI group was further divided into two subgroups depending on the time of CBCT performance preoperatively, as follows: a six-week CI (6WCI) group (n=5) and a one-week CI (1WCI) group (n=5). Daily food intake amount (DFIA) was measured to assess the recovery rate. Radiographic images were acquired to evaluate screw quantity. CBCT and histological examination were performed in the CI subgroup after sacrifice.
    Results: The 1WCI group showed the highest value in peak average recovery rate and the fastest average recovery rate. In terms of reaching a 50% recovery rate, the 1WCI group required the least number of days as compared with the other groups (2.6±1.3 days), while the RP group required the least number of days to reach an 80% recovery rate (7.8±2.2 days). The 1WCI group showed the highest percentage of intact screws (94.3%). New bone formation was observed in the CI group during histological examination.
    Conclusion: Rabbits with mandibular defects treated with CI showed higher and faster recovery rates and more favorable screw status as compared with those treated with a five-hole mini-plate without bone graft.

    Abstract Dental implants are a common treatment for the loss of teeth. This paper summarizes current knowledge on implant surfaces, immediate loading versus conventional loading, short implants, sinus lifting, and custom implants using three-dimensional printing. Most of the implant surface modifications showed good osseointegration results. Regarding biomolecular coatings, which have been recently developed and studied, good results were observed in animal experiments. Immediate loading had similar clinical outcomes compared to conventional loading and can be used as a successful treatment because it has the advantage of reducing treatment times and providing early function and aesthetics. Short implants showed similar clinical outcomes compared to standard implants. A variety of sinus augmentation techniques, grafting materials, and alternative techniques, such as tilted implants, zygomatic implants, and short implants, can be used. With the development of new technologies in three-dimension and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) customized implants can be used as an alternative to conventional implant designs. However, there are limitations due to the lack of long-term studies or clinical studies. A long-term clinical trial and a more predictive study are needed.

    Abstract There is an association between diabetes and impaired bone healing. The purpose of this study was to determine whether sericin had a positive effect on bone regeneration with streptozotocin-induced diabetes in a rat model. Sprague Dawley rats ( n = 21) were assigned to one of three groups. A critical-sized bone defect was created on the calvaria. In the sericin group (S group, n = 7), the bone defect was filled with a sericin–gelatin combination, whereas in the gelatin group (G group, n = 7), only gelatin sponge was used. The control group (N group, n = 7) did not receive any graft. New bone formation was evaluated by micro-computerized tomogram and histological analysis. The regenerated bone volume in group S was the highest among the three groups (3.87 ± 2.51 mm 3 ), followed by group N (1.71 ± 1.65 mm 3 ) and group G (1.24 ± 1.05 mm 3 ). The application of sericin in combination with a gelatin sponge enhanced the process of bone regeneration in streptozotocin-induced type I diabetes animal model.

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the daily food intake rate and the rate of screw loosening between 2 groups of rabbits with mandibular continuity defects: custom implant (CI) group and 5-hole mini-plate group.
    Materials and methods: Two types of cylindrical implants were printed, and their physical strength was compared. In this study using rabbits, 1 group (n = 5) received a CI for the reconstruction of a mandibular continuity defect (CI group) and the other group (n = 5) received a 5-hole mini-plate without a bone graft (reconstruction plate [RP] group). After reconstruction, the daily food intake rate and the rate of screw loosening were examined postoperatively. Histologic examination in the CI group was performed 3 months after the operation.
    Results: The design that mimicked the mandible showed greater physical strength. The amount of time required to achieve 50% recovery was shorter in the CI group than in the RP group (P = .011). The total number of loosened screws in the CI group was lower than that in the RP group at 3 months postoperatively (P = .008). New bone formation in the porous CI was evident in the CI group.
    Conclusions: Rabbits with mandibular continuity defects treated with CIs for reconstruction showed faster recovery of the daily food intake rate and fewer loosened screws than those treated with a 5-hole mini-plate without bone graft.

    Abstract Targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) provides survival benefits to a majority of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, resistance to TKI almost always develops after treatment. Although genetic and epigenetic alterations have each been shown to drive resistance to TKI in cell line models, clinical evidence for their contribution in the acquisition of resistance remains limited. Here, we employed liquid biopsy for simultaneous analysis of genetic and epigenetic changes in 122 Vietnamese NSCLC patients undergoing TKI therapy and displaying acquired resistance. We detected multiple profiles of resistance mutations in 51 patients (41.8%). Of those, genetic alterations in EGFR, particularly EGFR amplification (n = 6), showed pronounced genome instability and genome-wide hypomethylation. Interestingly, the level of hypomethylation was associated with the duration of response to TKI treatment. We also detected hypermethylation in regulatory regions of Homeobox genes which are known to be involved in tumor differentiation. In contrast, such changes were not observed in cases with MET (n = 4) and HER2 (n = 4) amplification. Thus, our study showed that liquid biopsy could provide important insights into the heterogeneity of TKI resistance mechanisms in NSCLC patients, providing essential information for prediction of resistance and selection of subsequent treatment.

    Abstract Boeica konchurangensis B.H.Quang, D.V.Hai & Mich.Möller, a new species of Gesneriaceae from the Gia Lai Province of Vietnam is described, illustrated, and colour photographs of the species are provided. This new species has an almost actinomorphic corolla and shows morphological similarities with B. porosa, but differs from it by a shorter peduncle, a near‐actinomorphic purple corolla with a distinctly broad campanulate tube and a shorter capsule.

    Abstract Premna vietnamensis, a distinct new species which is endemic to Gia Lai Province in Central Highlands of Vietnam, is described and illustrated. It is characterized by its calyx tube bearing a semi-globose fleshy appendage, which has not been reported before from all known congeneric taxa, as well as from the Lamiaceae. A phylogenetic analysis of the whole Lamiaceae based on a sampling including representatives from all 12 currently recognized subfamilies confirmed the placement of this new species within Premna of the Premnoideae. Morphologically and geographically, P. vietnamensis is most similar to P. stenobotrys, but differs significantly in many aspects.
