The mean maximal mouth opening was 38.43mm preoperatively (15 to 75mm) compared to 42.19mm postoperatively (range 21-75mm). A total of 80 subjects with TMD associated pain preoperatively was reduced to 25 postoperatively (p=0.0001).

Advantageous treatment effect with arthroscopic lysis and lavage was presented. The outcome of the JFLS-20 questionnaire indicates a correlation with the clinical findings. Future studies will focus on larger cohorts and using PROM with a case-control setting.

Maxillofacial reconstruction with bony free flap is a classical technique. However, pedicle ossification after such reconstruction is a misunderstood complication that is rarely reported in the literature. It is usually manifested as trismus, neck pain, and hard swelling, but it is predominantly asymptomatic and, thus, mainly incidentally discovered at a later stage. The aim of our study is to propose a classification for pedicle ossification based on both radiological features and vascular calcification progression. We also describe a case of metachronous ossification after two fibula free flap procedures.

Our observational study includes all patients from our unit who underwent maxillofacial reconstruction with bony free flap from 2003 to 2018. We collected all cases of pedicle ossifications identified during the follow-up and described the radiological status of each one to categorise them in different groups and propose a classification scheme for the same.

Radiological and histological analysis showed a progressive three-step evolution of pedicle ossification, starting from the media, progressing into the lumen, and then reaching completion in the extravascular region. The final stage was observed in all symptomatic patients.

Pedicle ossification is a progressive process that passes through three successive histological stages that may be associated with factors such as smooth muscle cell phenotype modification [1]. This complication may lead to more severe clinical symptoms and may require surgery for removal of the calcification.

Callistemon lanceolatus (Sm.) Sweet and Melaleuca citrina (Curtis) Dum.Cours.) leaves resulted in the isolation of five undescribed compounds, including one acylphloroglucinol derivative and four monoterpene galloylglucosides, in addition to 29 known diverse secondary metabolites. Interestingly, this study reports chemosystematically significant isolation of the monoterpene galloylglucosides from the genus for the first time. Furthermore, exploration of the isolated compounds as inhibitors of inflammation-related molecular targets, molecular docking studies targeting human adipocyte lipid-binding protein FABP4 (3P6H) and human nitric oxide synthase (3E7G) were carried out in order with the in vitro evaluation of the isolated compounds for their anti-microbial and inhibitory of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activities. Molecular docking studies revealed that eighteen compounds showed lower docking scores than ibuprofen, the native ligand in the crystal structure 3P6H, and nine compounds showed lower docking scores than AR-C95791, the native ligand in the binding site of 3E7G. Additionally, in vitro studies revealed that seven compounds showed moderate iNOS inhibitory activity. They also were moderately cytotoxic to HepG2, LLC-PK1 and Vero cells. Pulverulentone A showed moderate antibacterial activity against MRSA (IC50 22.2 μM) and antifungal activity against C. neoformans, while corosolic acid showed strong antibacterial activity against VRE (IC50 15.9 μM).Thus, the in silico and in vitro studies indicated that some isolated compounds hold potentials as inhibitors of iNOS activity and anti-microbial agents.The botanical delimitation of Taxus species and cultivars may be facilitated by characterizing the pigment profiles of their red- and yellow-fleshed arils. Therefore, we determined genuine carotenoid profiles of differently colored arils of seven defined cultivars of Taxus baccata L. read more and Taxus × media Rehder. In-depth HPLC-DAD-ESI/APCI-MSn analyses revealed the presence of 43 carotenoids. Exceptional retro-carotenoids dominated the profiles of all samples assessed. Rhodoxanthin (E/Z)-isomers were predominant in the red-colored arils, resulting in a rather unusual abundance of carotenoid isomers as expressed by ratios of up to 1.32.00.9 between (all-E)-, (6Z)-, and (6Z,6'Z)-rhodoxanthin, respectively. By contrast, the uncommon yellow arils of Taxus baccata L. 'Lutea' mainly contained eschscholtzxanthin (E/Z)-isomers and esters. Total carotenoid concentrations ranged from 17.00 to 58.78 μg/g fresh weight across all samples assessed. Highest total rhodoxanthin concentrations of 51.33 ± 0.46 μg/g fresh weight were obtained from the red arils of Taxus × media Rehder 'Hicksii'. Overall, Taxus arils represent a promising source of carotenoids and, in particular, of retro-carotenoids with exceptional molecular structures and extraordinary absorption properties.A comparative proteomic analysis between two near-isogenic rice lines, displaying a resistant and susceptible phenotype upon infection with Magnaporthe oryzae was performed. We identified and validated factors associated with rice disease susceptibility, representing a flourishing source toward a more resolute rice-blast resistance. Proteome profiles were remarkably different during early infection (12 h post-inoculation), revealing several proteins with increased abundance in the compatible interaction. Potential players of rice susceptibility were selected and gene expression was evaluated by RT-qPCR. Gene Ontology analysis disclosed susceptibility gene-encoded proteins claimed to be involved in fungus sustenance and suppression of plant immunity, such as sucrose synthase 4-like, serpin-ZXA-like, nudix hydrolase15, and DjA2 chaperone protein. Two other candidate genes, picked from a previous transcriptome study, were added into our downstream analysis including pyrabactin resistant-like 5 (OsPYL5), and ricerd a more resolute blast disease resistance."Iron prawn" is a condition of severe growth retardation that fishers call. The giant river prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is a commercially important species contains high protein content and functional nutrients. However, no proteomic information is available for this species. We performed the shotgun 2DLC-MS/MS proteomic analysis of the total protein from "iron prawn". Total 19,758 peptides corresponding to 2613 high-confidence proteins were identified. These proteins range in size from 40 to 70 kDa. KEGG analysis revealed that the largest group consisting total 102 KEGG pathway proteins comparing the "iron prawn" with the normal prawn. Additionally, 7, 11, 1, 6, and 5 commercially important enzymes were found in the eyestalk, liver, muscle, ovary, and testis, respectively. The functions of these differently expressed enzymes include immune system action against pathogens, muscle contraction, digestive system metabolism, cell differentiation, migration, and apoptosis in the severe growth retardation of "iron prawn". Our work provides insight into the understanding of the formation mechanism of "iron prawn".

The brain was once thought of as an insulin-insensitive organ. We now know that the insulin receptor is present throughout the brain and serves important functions in whole-body metabolism and brain function. Brain insulin signaling is involved not only in brain homeostatic processes but also neuropathological processes such as cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.

In this review, we provide an overview of insulin signaling within the brain and the metabolic impact of brain insulin resistance and discuss Alzheimer's disease, one of the neurologic diseases most closely associated with brain insulin resistance.

While brain insulin signaling plays only a small role in central nervous system glucose regulation, it has a significant impact on the brain's metabolic health. Normal insulin signaling is important for mitochondrial functioning and normal food intake. Brain insulin resistance contributes to obesity and may also play an important role in neurodegeneration.

The potential significance of relationship of atlantoaxial instability with retro-odontoid pseudotumor, pannus, and/or cyst (RPC) is analyzed.

We searched the database of patients with craniovertebral junction-related instability treated by atlantoaxial fixation from January 2000 to March 2020. We identified 63 patients in whom there was an RPC in the region posterior to the odontoid process or posterior to the posterior aspect of the C2 body.

The RPC was solid in 10 patients, predominantly cystic in 39 patients, and had both solid and cystic components in 14 patients. The vertical dimension of the RPC varied from 4.5 to 10.5 mm (average, 7.9 mm) and the transverse dimension ranged from 2 to 5.2 mm (average, 3.4 mm). In 51 patients, the RPC was in the midline and in 9 patients, it was eccentric in location. In 38 patients, there was erosion of the C2 body adjoining the RPC. Analysis of investigations showed that in 100% of patients, the dome of the RPC was in line with the most susceptible point of potential bone compression of neural structures. The RPC was eccentric in location in 9 patients presenting with torticollis. RPC indicated the presence of atlantoaxial instability even when there were no other positive and validated radiologic indicators. After atlantoaxial stabilization, the RPC spontaneously regressed or disappeared. Direct resection of the RPC was neither performed nor was necessary in any case.

RPCs are secondary consequences of atlantoaxial instability and need not be primarily addressed by surgical resection. Their location suggests that they might have a neural protective function.

Non-union is one of the main complications of single- or multi-level cervical spine fusion, considerably impairing functional results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the respective contributions of imaging examinations in the diagnostic process, the challenge being to avoid inappropriate surgery and unnecessary complementary examinations.

A retrospective multicenter study included all patients managed for cervical spine non-union between 2008 and 2018. We evaluated the imaging examinations performed on each patient and determined signs of non-union in each image.

The study included 45 patients in 4 centers 55% female; mean age, of 48±8.0 years; 57% smokers. Systematic static radiography showed signs of non-union in 55% of cases. Dynamic X-ray was performed in 34% of patients, and showed hypermobility of the level in 80% of cases. CT supported diagnosis of non-union in 97% of cases, and MRI in 48%. SPECT-CT was positive in all cases of non-union.

Dynamic X-ray is rarely prescribed, but frequently provided an objective measure of hypermobility of the level in non-union, justifying first-line use.
