OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of EndoSequence Root Repair Material (Brasseler USA, Savannah, GA) and compare it with gray and white MTA. STUDY DESIGN Samples of 2 mg freshly mixed or set gray MTA (GMTA), white MTA (WMTA), EndoSequence Root Repair Material (ERRM), and AH26 were eluted with 300, 600, and 1,000 microL cell culture medium for 24 and 72 hours...

background: wound complications following open repair for acute achilles tendon ruptures (aatr) remain the subject of significant debate. the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of covering repaired aatr using well-nourished connective tissues (paratenon and deep fascia) to avoid complications after open repair.   methods: in this case series study, open repair was performed for 32 ...

background & aim: repair or replacement of restorations is one of the main necessities for health promotion. however, it has its own physical, psychological and economical side effects. the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of factors causing restoration replacement or repair. methods & materials: a non probable sampling was used for this cross – sectional observational descri...

background: meiotic genes are very important candidates for genes contributing to female and male infertility. mammalian mutl homologues have dual roles in dna mismatch repair (mmr) after replication errors and meiotic reciprocal recombination. the mutl homologs, mlh1 and mlh3 , are crucial for meiotic reciprocal recombination and human fertility. in this study the functional polymorphisms of m...

  Background: The standard method for repair of an injured peripheal nerve is epineural repair with separate sutures. Herein we describe a method in which the nerve is sutured with continous sutures. In fact this method has not been utilized for nerve repair previously and our purpose was to compare it to the standard method. If it proved to be successful it would replace the standard method in...

DNA Repair is responsible for counteracting the effects of the constant damage incurred to DNA. Decades of study on the topic have uncovered that DNA repair comes in many forms, though the field is far from complete. We show how machine learning techniques are able to learn and distinguish DNA Repair proteins from other nuclear proteins as well as classify types of DNA Repair proteins. Applicat...

The need of taxonomy is vital for knowledge sharing. This need has been portrayed by through-life engineering services/systems. This paper addresses this issue by repair process taxonomy development. Framework for repair process taxonomy was developed followed by its implementation. The importance of repair process taxonomy has been highlighted.
