Pharyngeal airway changes after mono- and bimaxillary surgery in skeletal class III patients: Cone-beam computed tomography evaluation
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2015)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) changes in the pharyngeal airway space (PAS) in 20 class III patients who underwent mono- or bimaxillary surgery using cone-beam ...
Association between regional heterogeneity in the mid-facial bone micro-architecture and increased fragility along Le Fort lines
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2017)
Background/AimLe Fort lines have traditionally been considered as zones of weakness in the mid-facial skeleton although the structural basis of increased bone fragility at these sites has not yet been investigated. Considering ...
Association of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)-317AA genotype with poor response to methotrexate in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(Clinical & Exper Rheumatology, Pisa, 2012)
Objectives Identifying genetic predictors of methotrexate (MTX) treatment response in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have great importance for optimising drug doses required for clinical benefit without toxicity. ...
Association of the TYMS 3G/3G genotype with poor response and GGH 354GG genotype with the bone marrow toxicity of the methotrexate in RA patients
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2013)
Purpose Gamma-glutamyl hydrolase (GGH), cyclin D1 (CCND1) and thymidylate synthase (TS) genes encode enzymes that are involved in methotrexate (MTX) action. In a group of 184 RA patients treated with MTX, we have investigated ...
Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia in the maxilla mimicking periapical granuloma
(Mosby-Elsevier, New York, 1999)
A case of focal cemento-osseous dysplasia of the maxilla in a 19-year-old man is reported. Clinically, the lesion resembled periapical pathosis of odontogenic origin. The clinical and histopathologic features of cemento-osseous ...
Development and validation of mathematical models for testing antifungal activity of different essential oils against Candida species
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
Objective: The upward trend in using plant materials introduced essential oils (EOs) as a valuable, novel, bioactive antifungal agent and as an alternative to standard treatment protocol of denture stomatitis caused by ...
Association between being overweight and oral health in Serbian schoolchildren
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2015)
BackgroundChildhood obesity, dental caries, and periodontal disease are major public health problems due to their adverse impact on the growth and development of children. AimTo examine the association between nutritional ...
Proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha) and chemokines (IL-8 and MIP-1 alpha as markers of pen-implant tissue condition
(Churchill Livingstone, Edinburgh, 2010)
Analysis of pen-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) offers a non-invasive means of studying the host response in pen-implant disease and may provide an early indication of patients at risk for active disease. This study examined ...
Gene-Gene Interactions Between Glutathione S-Transferase M1 and Matrix Metalloproteinases 1, 9, and 12 in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Serbians
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2017)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disorder influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors, as well as their interactions. Since elevated oxidative stress and protease activity characterize ...
Cardiovascular variability and beta-ARs gene expression at two stages of doxorubicin - Induced cardiomyopathy
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2019)
Using comprehensive analysis of heart rate (HRV) and blood pressure (BPV) short-term variability we estimated the time course of changes of autonomic nervous system remodeling in two stages of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy ...
