In this work, a new and natural food product, stalked barnacle (Pollicipes Pollicipes) pâté enriched with blackberry, was developed to valorise the rejected barnacle. To evaluate addition of blackberry fruits (Rubus ulmifolius Schott.) as preservative on quality, four sample groups were considered: negative control without synthetic additive (CTR), positive butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), group...

both anorganic bovine bone (abb) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-tcp) are used in clinical practice as bone substitute materials, but there is limited data comparing these two materials in standardized defects. the aim of this study was to histologically evaluate the effectiveness of abb and β-tcp in the healing of experimentally induced bone defects.eighteen bone defects were created on the calv...

background :disruption of anterior cruciate ligament (acl) is a common ligamentous injury of the knee. the choice of graft for (acl) reconstruction remains controversial. this prospective, randomized clinical trial aimed to compare clinical results of bone-patellar tendon-bone (bptb) grafts and four-strand semitendinosus-gracilis (st) grafts for acl reconstruction over a 3-year follow-up interv...

objective(s):to study the effect of low-frequency vibration on bone marrow stromal cell differentiation and potential bone repair in vivo. materials and methods:forty new zealand rabbits were randomly divided into five groups with eight rabbits in each group. for each group, bone defects were generated in the left humerus of four rabbits, and in the right humerus of the other four rabbits. to t...

background: bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (bap) is synthesized by the osteoblasts and is presumed to be involved in the calcification of bone matrix, though its precise role in the formation process is unknown. the aim of the present study was to measure the bap activity in paget's and normal specimens by two different techniques. methods: total alp (tap) as well as bap activity-measu...

objective: florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (fcod) is a rare bone lesion that predominantly involves the women’s jaws in middle age. this condition is usually asymptomatic and has a benign course.   case: this paper presents a rare case of fcod in a white middle aged woman, which had affected mandible bilaterally and was diagnosed after tooth extraction and treated conservatively.   we believed...

Various biological bone g rafts have been used for osteogenes i s , osteoconduction and even osteoinduction, but due to systemic influences and local factors, the outcome of successful incorporation of a bone graft has not been satisfactory. This study was therefore conducted on 15 clinically healthy adult dogs between 1 to 3 years of age weighing 20 to 30 kg to evaluate the effect of bo...

objectives : bone assessment is essential for diagnosis, treatment planning and prediction of prognosis of periodontal diseases. however, two-dimensional radiographic techniques have multiple limitations, mainly addressed by the introduction of three-dimensional imaging techniques such as cone beam computed tomography (cbct). this study aimed to assess the accuracy of cbct for detection of marg...

Background: Osteoporosis is one of the uncomfortable postmenopausal symptoms. The risk of imbalanced nutrition especially traces elements and vitamins are high during post menopause and may lead to osteoporosis due to reduction of content of mineral bone. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential consequence of Selenium (Se) treatment in ovariectomized rat model with osteoporosis i...
