Higher Gene Expression of Healing Factors in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Remnant in Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear
(Sage Publications Inc, 2018)
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with remnant preservation has been described and related to potential advantages. Literature is lacking regarding gene expression of potential factors related to ...
Equine tendonitis therapy using mesenchymal stem cells and platelet concentrates: A randomized controlled trial
(2013-07-25)
Introduction. Tendon injury is a major cause of lameness and decreased performance in athletic equines. Various therapies for tendonitis have been described; however, none of these therapies results in complete tissue ...
Identification of Suitable Reference Genes for Gene Expression Studies in Tendons from Patients with Rotator Cuff Tear
(Public Library Science, 2015-03-13)
Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common causes of shoulder dysfunction. Gene expression analysis may be a useful tool for understanding tendon tears and the failure of cuff healing, and reverse-transcription quantitative ...
Osteogenesis-inducing calcium phosphate nanoparticle precursors applied to titanium surfaces
(2013-05-20)
This study investigated the effects of the morphology and physicochemical properties of calcium phosphate (CaP) nanoparticles on osteogenesis. Two types of CaP nanoparticles were compared, namely amorphous calcium phosphate ...
A gene signature in histologically normal surgical margins is predictive of oral carcinoma recurrence
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2011-10-11)
Background: Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is a major cause of cancer death worldwide, which is mainly due to recurrence leading to treatment failure and patient death. Histological status of surgical margins is a ...
Fibrosis-related gene expression in the prostate is modulated by doxazosin treatment
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2012-12-17)
Aims: To gain new insights into the molecular mechanisms of action of doxazosin, we investigated the prostatic stroma ultrastructure and the expression of genes involved with fibrosis, such as collagen type I and III (COL1A1 ...
Effects of zoledronic acid on odontoblast-like cells
(2013-05-01)
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of a highly potent bisphosphonate, zoledronic acid (ZOL), on cultured odontoblast-like cells MDPC-23. The cells (1.5 × 104 cells/cm2) were seeded for 48 h in wells of 24-well ...
Biostimulatory effect of low-level laser therapy on keratinocytes in vitro
(2013-02-01)
Epithelial cells play an important role in reparative events. Therefore, therapies that can stimulate the proliferation and metabolism of these cells could accelerate the healing process. To evaluate the effects of low-level ...
Biostimulatory effects of low-level laser therapy on epithelial cells and gingival fibroblasts treated with zoledronic acid
(2013-05-01)
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been considered as an adjuvant treatment for bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis, presenting positive clinical outcomes. However, there are no data regarding the effect of LLLT on oral ...
Collagen XVIII and LOXL-4 polymorphisms in women with and without advanced pelvic organ prolapse
(Springer London Ltd, 2018)
Introduction and hypothesis We verified the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) rs2236479 of the collagen 18 (COL18A1) and rs2862296 of the lysyl oxidase-like 4 (LOXL-4) genes and the association with pelvic ...
