The objective of this study was to verify and validate an enhanced cervical spine segment finite element model to predict tissue-level failure under tension and compression loading. The predicted failure locations were representative of reported cervical spine injuries, and the predicted peak failure forces were within the reported experimental corridors. The displacement to failure of the tens...

OBJECTIVES Our laboratory seeks to develop minimally invasive cost-effective methods to improve screening and detection of curable precursors to cervical cancer. Previously, we have presented pilot studies that assess the diagnostic power of auto-fluorescence and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. In the present study, we evaluate diffuse reflectance spectra from a comprehensive 850 patient clin...

Cervical insufficiency is one of the most frequent reasons for late miscarriage and preterm birth. Its rate increased in women who conceived after use additional reproductive technologies. The objective: to assess parameters cervical elastography with anovulatory infertility a history. Materials methods. 40 pregnant treatment associated anovulation were examined term 16–20 weeks: I group (20 pe...

Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological cancers worldwide. Aberrant expression of E3 ubiquitin ligase isolated by differential display (EDD) has been detected in various types of tumor and has been demonstrated to have an important role in carcinogenesis, tumor growth and drug resistance. However, the role of EDD in cervical cancer and its underlying molecular mechanisms remains...

BACKGROUND Ultrasound elastography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique able to quantitatively characterize the stiffness of a given tissue. It has been shown to predict the risk for cervical insufficiency and preterm delivery, and to allow differentiation of malignancy from normal tissue. The present study sought to evaluate whether cervical tissue dishomogeneity, as assessed by cervica...

BACKGROUND HPV DNA has been detected in metastatic tumour and HPV plasma viraemia may indicate a poor prognosis and a high risk for metastasis. OBJECTIVE Detection of HPV DNA in plasma of patients with cervical carcinoma. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional study was done, wherein cervical biopsies and plasma samples were collected from 58 women with invasive cervical carcinoma, 10 women with ce...

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the expression of Ki67 and FasL and prognosis of cervical carcinoma and to explore the biological processes and signal pathways related to cervical carcinoma. Cervical carcinoma tissue specimens from 200 patients and normal tissue specimens adjacent to lesions from 30 cases were collected in this study. Ki67 and FasL proteins in these spec...

Introduction: Intra-thoracic goiter refers to the extension of enlarged thyroid tissue into the thoracic inlet. This condition can produce symptoms of compression on adjacent organs and can sometimes be accompanied by malignant transformation. Therefore surgical treatment is almost always necessary. In order to remove the pathology with the fewest post-operative complications, selection of the ...

Introduction: Gingival recession (GR) is a common aesthetic problem associated with the cervical wear of the tooth structure and dentin hypersensitivity. Recently, periodontal-restorative approaches have been proposed for the management of GR associated with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs), which has proven effective. The present study aimed to evaluate this method.  <stro...

Background: Ovarian tissue cryopreservation and autotransplantation is the only fertility preservation way for prepubertal girls and situations that cytotoxic treatment is urgent. Materials and Methods: The ovaries of premature (5 weeks old) rats were autografted under cervical skin after vitrification. 3 weeks later, transplanted ovaries were removed from the body and structure of ovary, expre...
