Objective: Ishemic bone disease has multifactorial etiologies. Cronic dental infections should be eliminated to prevent osteonecrosis of the jaw. Case report: We report an unusual case of osteonecrosis due to the pulpal-peridontal syndrome and subsequent pulp necrosis.

Objective: Clausena excavata is known to possess anti-oxidant property. However, this property through which mechanism it affects the immune cells and suppresses production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has not been explored. Material Method: This study evaluated immunomodulatory activities ethyl acetate, petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol C. leaf extracts by decreasing ROS from whole blo...

To reproduce the syndrome of overwhelming Escherichia coli bacteremia and shock after pelvic instrumentation, a model was developed by feeding E. coli via drinking water to coliform-free rabbits, injecting nitrogen mustard intravenously, and inserting a temperature probe into the rectum. The temperature probe was inserted to mimic pelvic instrumentation of patients and to detect fever. Rabbits ...

Titanium dioxide nanofibres (TiO2) were intratracheally instilled in dose of 4 mg/0.2 mL saline solution per animal (Wistar rats). After 48 hours and 14 days the animals were exsanguinated (under i.p. thiopental narcosis), bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was perfomed and cells from BAL fluid were isolated. Following inflammatory, cytotoxic and oxidative stress BAL parameters were examined: differe...

The cytological and electron-microscopic appearance of aneutrophil phagocytosis by macrophages in normal human bone marrow is described. This feature can be observed in every normal bone marrow and is especially frequent in autoimmune disease. Bone marrrow phagocytosis of polymorphonuclear neutrophils seems to be a physiological process resulting from the random egress of neutrophils from bone ...

BARR AND BERnTAM (1949), reporting their observations on small chromatin bodies lying adjacent to the large nucleoli in nerve cells of the cat, pointed out for the first time that these peculiar structures, known then as " nucleolar satellites", were related to the sex of the animal, being found frequently in the female and seldom in the male. It has since been shown that this chromatin mass, n...
