QKI-5 suppresses cyclin D1 expression and proliferation of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells via MAPK signalling pathway

Jan 17, 2018 by in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Comments Off on QKI-5 suppresses cyclin D1 expression and proliferation of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells via MAPK signalling pathway

Abstract Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most frequently occurring malignancies in the world. The RNA-binding protein quaking (QKI) is a newly identified tumour suppressor in multiple…

Heterotopic bone formation in the musculus latissimus dorsi of sheep using β-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds: evaluation of an extended prefabrication time on bone formation and matrix degeneration

Jan 17, 2018 by in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Comments Off on Heterotopic bone formation in the musculus latissimus dorsi of sheep using β-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds: evaluation of an extended prefabrication time on bone formation and matrix degeneration

Abstract We previously generated viable heterotopic bone in living animals and found that 3 months of intrinsic vascularization improved bone formation and matrix degeneration. In this study, we varied the…

Effect of alveolar bone support on zygomatic implants in an extra-sinus position—a finite element analysis study

Jan 17, 2018 by in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Comments Off on Effect of alveolar bone support on zygomatic implants in an extra-sinus position—a finite element analysis study

Abstract The objective was to investigate the influence of maxillary alveolar bone on the stress distribution of zygomatic implants in an extra-sinus position. A three-dimensional finite element model was created…
