Impact of Orthodontic Treatment on Crestal Bone Resorption in Periodontally Compromised Patients: a Case Series
Svrha: Kako se poveÄava broj pacijenata s parodontnom boleÅ”Äu koji se podvrgavaju ortodontskom lijeÄenju (OL-u), a nema izvjeÅ”taja specifiÄno fokusiranog na utjecaj OL-a u sluÄaju pregradnje alveolarne kosti (PAK-a), odluÄili smo se za retrospektivnu studiju. Ispitanici i postupak: Kod dvadeset i Å”estero pacijenata ortodontski je lijeÄeno 445 od 645 zuba. Unutar alveolarne kosti srednja im je visina iznosila 0,47 posto prije OL-a. Rendgensko snimanje i Ļ2-test upotrijebljeni su za procjenu razlike u PAK-u. Rezultati: Nije bilo gubitka zuba. Pokazali smo da (1) OL ne djeluje Å”tetno na potpornu kost lijeÄenog zuba, a s obzirom na to da su srednje vrijednosti resorpcije alveolarne kosti iznosile 0,03 milimetra kod lijeÄenih i 0,26 milimetara kod nelijeÄenih zuba (2), nije bilo statistiÄke razlike u PAK-u izmeÄu lijeÄenih i nelijeÄenih zuba), tako da (3) duljina aktivnog OL-a nije kritiÄni Äimbenik za PAK. ZakljuÄak: OL je kod pacijenata s parodontnom boleÅ”Äu moguÄe obaviti i postiže se dobar uÄinak na PAK.Objective: Since the number of patients with periodontitis undergoing the orthodontic treatment (OT) is increasing and no report specifically focuses on the impact of OT on crestal bone remodeling (CBR), we performed a retrospective study. Materials and Methods: Twenty six patients had OT on 445 over 645 teeth. The mean tooth high inserted into alveolar bone was 0.47% before OT. X-rays and Ļ2 test were used to evaluate differences in CBR. Results: No tooth was lost. We have demonstrated that (1) OT has no adverse effect on bone supporting the treated teeth (since the mean crestal bone resorption was 0.03 mm and 0.26 mm in treated and untreated teeth, respectively) (2) treated and untreated teeth have no statistical difference in CBR, and (3) the length of active OT is not a critical factor on CBR. Conclusion: OT of periodontally compromised patients
can achieve good results on CBR
Meeting report: the Human Genome Meeting (HGM) 2019 in Seoul, Korea
The 2019 Human Genome Meeting (HGM2019) of the Human Genome Organization (HUGO) was held in Seoul, Korea, from 24 to 26 April 2019, at Ewha Woman's University on their beautiful campus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewha_Womans_University). The twenty-third HGM was a truly international event, attracting some 507 registrants from 29 countries spanning 6 continents who interacted both formally and informally at 4 plenary lectures, 10 parallel scientific sessions, 10 ancillary events, such as workshops, luncheon sessions, 2 social events, poster sessions, and interactions with exhibitors. (https://www.hugo-hgm.org/program/scientific). Furthermore, the HGM in Seoul featured 42 international and 7 local distinguished speakers highlighting the worldwide draw of this annual meeting
Effective field theory for the small-x evolution
The small-x behavior of structure functions in the saturation region is
determined by the non-linear generalization of the BFKL equation. I suggest the
effective field theory for the small-x evolution which solves formally this
equation. The result is the 2+1 functional integral for the structure functions
at small x.Comment: 5 pages, latex, 2 eps figure
