    Abstract Techniques for preserving alveolar bone after tooth extraction are becoming a part of the usual clinical practice of clinicians. These techniques aim at minimizing postextraction bony resorption, hence, minimizing subsequent follow-up for implant insertion. This randomized clinical study aimed to measure and compare alveolar bone and soft tissue healing between extraction sockets treated with somatropin to untreated sockets.
    Methods: The study is designed as a split-mouth randomized clinical trial. The selected patients were indicated for bilateral symmetrical tooth extraction, where each patient had an indication to extract two symmetrical teeth in anatomy and number of roots. Somatropin was applied to the tooth socket of the randomly selected side after tooth extraction by gel foam, and the control side was filled with gel foam only. A clinical follow-up of the soft tissue was done 7 days after tooth extraction to evaluate clinical aspects of the healing process. Radiographic follow-up was performed using a cone-beam computed tomography scan to assess volumetric changes of alveolar bone in the extraction area prior to and 3 months after the surgical procedure.
    Results: A total of 23 patients (aged 29.1±9.5 years) participated. The results showed a statistically significant association between somatropin application and better preservation of the bony dimensions of the alveolar ridge. Bone loss was -0.691±0.628 mm for the buccal plate on the study side compared to -2.008±1.175 mm on the control side. The level of the lingual/palatal plate bone loss was -1.052±0.855 mm on the study side compared to -2.695±1.878 mm on the control side. The bone loss of alveolar width was -1.626±1.061 mm on the study side compared to -3.247±1.543 mm on the control side. The results also showed better healing of covering soft tissues (
    Conclusion: The data from this study demonstrated that the application of somatropin in tooth sockets postextraction showed an effective contribution to reducing alveolar bone resorption and improving bone density following extraction, in addition to better healing of covering soft tissue.

    Abstract Restoration of the segmental defects of the maxilla presents a reconstructive dare to obtain a perfect osseous form and height. A variety of prosthetic and surgical bone grafts exists, that produces less than optimal results. Bone transport distraction is a dependable procedure in several maxillofacial bone defects reconstruction techniques. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of horizontal distraction osteogenesis (DO) using expansion screws for the treatment of atrophic and deficient bone, which is caused by acquired malformations.
    Material and methods: A total of eight patients ( age 17-36 years) who came with atrophy of the maxilla were treated by horizontal DO. The used device consisted of two parts: one was an orthodontic expander and the other was a screw-ring. The expansion screws were set on the transport bone, which was osteotomized and fixed to the segments using microscrews. Radiographical documentation of the patients was obtained with cone beam computed tomography prior to the surgery and after 4 months of the distraction phase.
    Results: The average of the actual bone gain at the end of the consolidation period was 7 mm (range 5-9 mm). Intraoral DO failed in one patient. The average bone density in the distraction gap after 4 months of the DO was 460.40. The average bone density of the bone defect region after 4 months of the DO was 487.90.
    Conclusion: Our results confirm that horizontal DO using expansion screws is a predictable and effective regenerative procedure for patients with acquired bone defects in the jaw.

    Abstract The aim of this case report is to illustrate a successful technique for dental implant placement in the esthetic zone using simultaneous localized ridge augmentation with L-shaped titanium mesh. A 35-year-old patient presented with a single missing tooth in the esthetic zone requiring dental implant placement. The treatment plan was made to place a dental implant in conjunction with a guided bone regeneration procedure using a prefabricated L-shaped titanium mesh. The procedure achieved successful reconstruction of the deficient ridge, providing ample volume and contour for implant placement. Implant osteointegration was achieved, resulting in a satisfactory functional and esthetically pleasing outcome. The use of L-shaped titanium mesh offers superior stability and biocompatibility, ensuring optimal support and containment of graft material. This case report highlights the feasibility and clinical effectiveness of dental implant placement with simultaneous localized ridge augmentation using L-shaped titanium mesh in the esthetic zone. Further studies are warranted to assess the long-term success and esthetic outcomes of this technique.

    Abstract A transalveolar sinus lift is a safe and predictable long-term surgical approach. Several factors affect clinical and radiographic outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between intrasinus bone gain (IBG) with the implant protrusion length (IPL) and the initial bone height (IBH) in transalveolar sinus floor elevation (TSFE) without bone graft procedures.
    Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study was carried out on patients who had reported to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery at Tishreen University between January 2020 and September 2022. The sample consisted of patients who had a transalveolar sinus lift with simultaneous dental implants placement. TSFE was performed using motorized threaded bone expanders. The IBH, the IPL, and the IBG height were analyzed using CBCT scans that were taken preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the relationship of the IBG with the IPL and the IBH. The
    Results: A total of 34 implants were placed using motorized threaded bone expanders in 29 patients who were included in the study. Three membrane perforations were observed out of 34 procedures (8.82%). The survival rate for all implants was 100%. The mean IBH was 6.37±0.85 mm, the mean IPL was 2.01±0.55 mm, and the mean IBG was 1.69±0.44 mm. A strong positive correlation was found between bone gain and IPL. No correlation was found between bone gain and IBH.
    Conclusions: According to the result of this study, the IPL is a critical factor in TSFE and dental implant placement simultaneously without bone graft procedures.

    Abstract Odontogenic keratocyst has been of particular interest due to its distinctive behavior and its tendency to frequently recurrence and the diversity of treatment methods. Researchers have differed over the past decades about the nature of this lesion, sometimes it was classified as a cyst and sometimes it was classified as a tumor because of its specific histopathologic features, high recurrence rate and aggressive behavior. We discuss a case of a large odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) that was treated by marsupialization followed by peripheral ostectomy. Based on our findings, we conclude that the marsupialization followed by peripheral ostectomy was a conservative and effective option for the management of large OKC.

    Abstract Purpose: Intermittent fasting (IF) has been shown to induce a well-organized adaptive defense against stress inside the cells, which increases the production of anti-oxidant defenses, repair of DNA, biogenesis of mitochondria, and genes that combat inflammation. So, the goal of the current investigation was to identify the effects of IF on rats with adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephropathy and any potential underlying mechanisms.
    Methods: Four groups of 40 mature Sprague-Dawley male rats were allocated as follow; control, fasting, ADR, and ADR plus fasting. After 8 weeks of ADR administration urine, blood samples and kidneys were taken for assessment of serum creatinine (Cr), BUN, urinary proteins, indicators of oxidative damage (malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) and Catalase (CAT) levels), histopathological examinations, immunohistochemical examinations for caspase-3, Sirt1, aquaporin2 (AQP2) and real time PCR for antioxidant genes; Nrf2, HO-1 in kidney tissues.
    Results: IF significantly improved serum creatinine, BUN and urinary protein excretion, oxidative stress (low MDA with high CAT and GSH), in addition to morphological damage to the renal tubules and glomeruli as well as caspase-3 production during apoptosis. Moreover, IF stimulates significantly the expression of Sirt1 and Nrf2/HO-1 and AQP2.
    Conclusion: AQP2, Sirt1, Nrf2/HO-1 signaling may be upregulated and activated by IF, which alleviates ADR nephropathy. Enhancing endogenous antioxidants, reducing apoptosis and tubulointerstitial damage, and maintaining the glomerular membrane's integrity are other goals.

    Abstract This contribution insight on the cytotoxic and anticancer activities and molecular mechanism of phyto-reduced silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. A simple, entirely green synthesis process was optimized for the phyto-reduction of AgNP (~12.7 nm) using aqueous leaf extracts of Indigofera heterantha. The structural and vibrational properties of biosynthesized AgNPs were extensively characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, x-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), while their shape and morphology was studied through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) cell viability assay indicates concentration dependent inhibition with IC

    Abstract Objective: Bladder injury is one of the complications of cesarean section (CS). It is reported that the overall incidence of bladder injury is 0.22-0.44% of CS. It is, however, unclear what factors influence this rate. The aim of this study was to determine if there is a difference in bladder injury rate between scheduled and emergency CS, as well as in primary and repeat CS at a large metropolitan hospital that serves a population at high risk for obstetric complications. In addition, the use of urology consultation following bladder injury and whether demographic factors and labor characteristics affect the rate of bladder injury were investigated.
    Material and methods: A total of 8,488 records were reviewed (4,292 primary CS and 4,196 repeat CS) from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2020. The incidence of bladder injury was calculated and the rate of intraoperative urology/urogynecology consultation was recorded. Then the association between bladder injury and intraoperative urology/urogynecology consultation and between bladder injury and maternal age, body mass index (BMI), and gestational age were compared.
    Results: There was a significant increase in risk of bladder injury in repeat CS versus primary CS (p=0.01). There was also a significant increase in risk of bladder injury in emergency CS versus scheduled CS (p=0.04). Intraoperative urogynecology/urology consultations were significantly higher in the bladder injury versus no bladder injury groups (p<0.0001). Both emergency CS and repeat CS are predictors of bladder injury with odd ratios of 5.7 and 7.4, respectively.
    Conclusion: These results add to the existing evidence that bladder injury is a rare complication in CS that may occur more often in women undergoing repeat or emergency CS than primary or scheduled CS. Given that the risk increases with repeat or emergency CS, patients should be made aware of such risks and surgeons should make careful intraoperative considerations with close postoperative follow-ups.
