Proteomic and transcriptomic analyses to explain the pleiotropic effects of Ankaferd blood stopper.

Ankaferd blood stopper is a standardized mixture of the plants Thymus vulgaris, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Vitis vinifera, Alpinia officinarum, and Urtica dioica and has been used as a topical hemostatic agent and with its clinical application established in randomized controlled trials and case reports. Ankaferd has been successfully used in gastrointestinal endobronchial mucosal and cutaneous bleedings and also in abdominal, thoracic, dental and oropharyngeal, and pelvic surgeries. Ankaferd's hemostatic action is thought to form a protein complex with coagulation factors that facilitate adhesion of

Diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients with hypophosphatasia.

INTRODUCTION: Hypophosphatasia is a rare inherited systemic metabolic disorder, with an estimated prevalence in the severe forms of the disease of 1/100.000-1/300.000, that affects the typical architecture of bone, leading to defective mineralization during growth and remodeling. It is characterized by loss-of-function variants in the ALPL gene, resulting in low activity of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase. In severe cases, it can be fatal. OBJECTIVE: To generate recommendations on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients with hypophosphatasia based on available evidence. M

Three-dimensional bone evaluation after surgical treatment with plasma rich in growth factors of Medication Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ): A report of 3 cases.

INTRODUCTION: Medication Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) is an adverse effect of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic agents that consists of progressive bone destruction in the maxillofacial area. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect on bone volume of a surgical protocol using plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) for successfully treating MRONJ. METHODS: Three patients were treated combining surgical debridement with PRGF. Cone bean computed tomography scans were taken prior to surgery and 12 months after to measure bone volume changes. Biopsies were taken for histology a

Clinical Performance of Implant-Supported Prostheses in the Rehabilitation of Patients Previously Treated for Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (MRONJ): A Systematic Review.

There is a lack of consensus on managing resultant bone and soft tissue defects or on restoring oral function and aesthetics following medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) lesion healing. This clinical challenge presents a dilemma for practitioners. Removable prostheses pose a recurrence risk if poorly fitted and may inadequately restore function or aesthetics in cases of significant bone defect. Dental implant-supported prostheses could enhance function and quality of life, though their risks and indications are not well-defined. This systematic review examines the clinical ou

Platelet rich plasma in the treatment of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw: personal experience and review of the literature.

Bisphosphonates (BPs) are a class of synthetic drugs commonly used to treat bone metastasis and various bone diseases that cause osseous fragility (such as osteoporosis). Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a common complication in patients who received BPs, especially intravenously. Recently, osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) caused by chemotherapeutic not belonging to BPs drug class has been reported. For this reason, it has been proposed recently to rename BRONJ in antiresorptive agents related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ARONJ), to include a wider spectrum of drugs that m

Recurrent Mandibular Ewing sarcoma in an 11-year-old boy: a rare pediatric case and review of the literature.

RATIONALE: Mandibular Ewing sarcoma is exceptionally rare in children and frequently mimics common odontogenic infections. This overlap leads to delayed diagnosis and potentially rapid tumor progression. Early recognition and appropriate multimodal management are critical for improving outcomes. PATIENT CONCERNS: An 11.5-year-old Iranian boy of Middle Eastern ethnicity presented with progressive left mandibular swelling and pain for 1 month, unresponsive to antibiotic therapy previously prescribed for presumed dental abscess. DIAGNOSIS: Imaging (CT, MRI) revealed an aggressive destructive ma

Efficacy of Low-Level Laser Therapy for Oral Mucositis in Hematologic Patients Undergoing Transplantation: A Single-Arm Prospective Study.

Oral mucositis significantly affects the quality of life in hematologic cancer patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Despite global evidence supporting the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for mucositis prevention, its clinical adoption in Japan is limited. This study aimed to fill this gap by evaluating the safety and efficacy of LLLT in a Japanese patient population. In a single-group, non-blinded, exploratory trial, we compared 21 LLLT-treated patients against a historical control of 96 patients. The primary endpoint was the incidence of Grade ≥ 2 mucositis,

Novel Cell Therapy Using Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Sheets for Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw.

Despite medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) being first reported in 2003, the optimal treatment and prevention modalities for MRONJ are not clear. As a result, dentistry, oral surgery, and departments involved in the treatment of cancer and bone diseases are struggling with the management of MRONJ. Several cases of MRONJ cannot be managed by conventional treatment strategies recommended in various position papers. Therefore, studies have been conducted to investigate the efficacy of novel therapies for MRONJ. However, the optimal treatment is unknown. Several cell therapies inc

Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN).

The mitochondrial dysfunction has a critical role in several disorders including chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathies (CIPN). This is due to a related dysregulation of pathways involving calcium signalling, reactive oxygen species and apoptosis. Vincristine is able to affect calcium movement through the Dorsal Root Ganglia (DRG) neuronal mitochondrial membrane, altering its homeostasis and leading to abnormal neuronal excitability. Paclitaxel induces the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore in axons followed by mitochondrial membrane potential loss, increased react

Therapeutic Approach in the Treatment of Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw: Case Series of 3 Patients and State of the Art on Surgical Strategies.

BACKGROUND: Bisphosphonates and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand inhibitors are currently the most widely used antiresorptive therapies in bone metabolism diseases treatment. Unfortunately they can evoke medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws. The present case series study proposes to evaluate clinical features, evolution and the surgical therapeutic approaches in three patients affected by medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw and to review the state of art regarding the management of this complication in light of the most recent literature. METHODS: Three case

Bisphosphonate conjugation for bone specific drug targeting.

Bones provide essential functions and are sites of unique biochemistry and specialized cells, but can also be sites of disease. The treatment of bone disorders and neoplasia has presented difficulties in the past, and improved delivery of drugs to bone remains an important goal for achieving effective treatments. Drug targeting strategies have improved drug localization to bone by taking advantage of the high mineral concentration unique to the bone hydroxyapatite matrix, as well as tissue-specific cell types. The bisphosphonate molecule class binds specifically to hydroxyapatite and inhibits

Radial HR-pQCT and Finite Element Analysis in HPP Patients are Superior in Identifying Susceptibility to Fracture-Associated Skeletal Affections Compared to DXA and Laboratory Tests.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inborn disease that causes a rare form of osteomalacia, a mineralization disorder affecting mineralized tissues. Identification of patients at high risk for fractures or other skeletal manifestations (such as insufficiency fractures or excessive bone marrow edema) by bone densitometry and laboratory tests remains clinically challenging. Therefore, we examined two cohorts of patients with variants in the ALPL gene grouped by bone manifestations. These groups were compared by means of bone microarchitecture using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomog

Complementarity of surgical therapy, photobiomodulation, A-PRF and L-PRF for management of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ): an animal study.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the complementarity of surgical therapy, photobiomodulation (PBM), advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF), and Leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) for the management of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). METHODS: Sixty rats underwent injection of zoledronate followed by left mandibular first and second molar extractions to induce MRONJ lesions. All rats were examined for the signs of MRONJ 8 weeks post-dental extraction. Forty-nine rats with positive signs of MRONJ were appointed to seven different groups as follows: control (Ct

Biphosphonates-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw: the role of gene-environment interaction.

Biphosphonate (BPN) are widely used in clinics to treat metastatic cancer and osteoporosis thus representing a problem not only for patients but also for workers involved in their preparation and administration. A similar exposure occurred years ago in match-making workers undergoing bone alterations similar to those consequent to BPN exposure. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a main adverse effect related to BPN administration, which is performed in millions of patients worldwide for osteoporosis and cancer therapy, thus representing an emerging problem in public health. In susceptible patie

The facial skeleton in patients with osteoporosis: a field for disease signs and treatment complications.

Osteoporosis affects all bones, including those of the facial skeleton. To date the facial bones have not drawn much attention due to the minimal probability of morbid fractures. Hearing and dentition loss due to osteoporosis has been reported. New research findings suggest that radiologic examination of the facial skeleton can be a cost-effective adjunct to complement the early diagnosis and the follow up of osteoporosis patients. Bone-mass preservation treatments have been associated with osteomyelitis of the jawbones, a condition commonly described as osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ). The fa

Methods of Topical Administration of Drugs and Biological Active Substances for Dental Implants-A Narrative Review.

Dental implants are, nowadays, established surgical devices for the restoration of lost teeth. Considered as an alternative for traditional prosthetic appliances, dental implants surpass them in reliability and patient feedback. Local drug delivery around the implants promotes osseointegration and reduces peri-implantitis. However, there are currently no methods of a multiple, precise topical administration of drugs to the implant area. Engineering coatings on the implants, drug application on carriers during implantation, or gingival pockets do not meet all requirements of dental surgeons. Th

Cancer and Exercise: Warburg Hypothesis, Tumour Metabolism and High-Intensity Anaerobic Exercise.

There is ample evidence that regular moderate to vigorous aerobic physical activity is related to a reduced risk for various forms of cancer to suggest a causal relationship. Exercise is associated with positive changes in fitness, body composition, and physical functioning as well as in patient-reported outcomes such as fatigue, sleep quality, or health-related quality of life. Emerging evidence indicates that exercise may also be directly linked to the control of tumour biology through direct effects on tumour-intrinsic factors. Beside a multitude of effects of exercise on the human body, on

Mechanisms of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most frequent side effects caused by antineoplastic agents, with a prevalence from 19% to over 85%. Clinically, CIPN is a mostly sensory neuropathy that may be accompanied by motor and autonomic changes of varying intensity and duration. Due to its high prevalence among cancer patients, CIPN constitutes a major problem for both cancer patients and survivors as well as for their health care providers, especially because, at the moment, there is no single effective method of preventing CIPN; moreover, the possibilities of treating t

Atezolizumab alleviates the immunosuppression induced by PD‑L1‑positive neutrophils and improves the survival of mice during sepsis.

BACKGROUND: Until recently, tumors of the clivus and the anterior region of the posterior cranial fossa were considered extremely difficult to access and often inoperable using standard transcranial approaches. With the introduction into the neurosurgical practice of minimally invasive methods utilizing endoscopic techniques, it became possible to effectively remove hard-to-reach tumors, including central tumors of the anterior region of the posterior cranial fossa. METHODS: From 2008 to the present time, the inpatient institution has operated on 140 patients with various tumors of the base o
