background: perioglasâ (pg) is an alloplastic material used for grafting periodontal osseous defects since 1995. in animal models, it has been proven that pg achieves histologically good repair of surgically created defects. in clinical trials, pg was effective as an adjunct to conventional surgery in the treatment of intrabony defects. because the molecular events due to pg that are able to al...

Background: Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) has been controversially linked to IL-4 production in previous studies. A predominant Th1 response leads to resistance against recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), whereas a Th2 response exacerbates the disease. Objective: To investigate the possible effect of iron deficiency on the host’s susceptibility to RVVC as a result of the Th1/Th2 cytokine ...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding propylene glycol (pg) to mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) liquid with volume ratio of 20% on the compressive strength (cs) of mta in two time periods (4 and 21 days) after mixing. methods and materials: four groups of steel cylinders ( n =15) with an internal diameter of 3 and a height of 6 mm were prepared and mta (groups...

In any description of leg ulcers in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) earns a mention at least for its being quite rare in such patients. The causative role of aPL (antiphospholipid antibody) in dermatological manifestations of SLE is undermined by the occurrence of PG in aPL negative SLE patients. To the best of our knowledge, there are only two reports of PG in aPL...

Progenitor (PG) cells of the hair follicle are vital to growth and regeneration. Previous reports have highlighted their substantial reduction in from androgenetic alopecia (AGA) scalps. Since there is a limitation either investigating human PG native context or isolation forin vitro studies, no study focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying cell loss pathogenesis AGA . Here, state-of-the-art...
