BackgroundBone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) are suitable cell sources for dental pulp regeneration, but the mechanism of BMMSCs differentiation into odontogenic lineage remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to reveal the role of magnesium transporter protein 1 (MagT1) and MAPK pathways in the odontogenic differentiation of BMMSCs.MethodsThe RNA sequencing...

BackgroundThe symptoms of giant cell arteritis (GCA) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) frequently overlap in the elderly. Whether there are differences in clinical features or prognosis between GCA patients with or without PMR remains unknown.AimsTo identify differences in clinical manifestation and prognosis between Chinese GCA patients with or without PMR.MethodsA retrospective...

Stroke is a leading reason of death and long-term disability, and most studies mainly focus on efforts to protect neurons. However, failed clinical trials suggest that therapies against single target in neurons may not be sufficient and the involvement of endothelial cells and glial cells have been underestimated. Astrocytes are the major source of ApoE in the brain and...
Six new polyphenols with different isoprenylated xanthones, isoprenylated acylphloroglucinols, and chromone architectures, hyperfaberols A–F (1–6), were isolated from the whole plants of Hypericum faberi along with seven other related known compounds. In which hyperfaberols A/B (1/2) and 12–13 were isoprenylated xanthones, hyperfaberols C–E (3–5) and 8–11 were seven isoprenylated...
ObjectiveTo separately investigate the prevalence and risk factors of external root resorption (ERR) in maxillary and mandibular second molars (M2s) adjacent to impacted third molars (M3s).Materials and methodsCBCT scans involving 184 maxillary and 323 mandibular impacted M3s were included. Age, gender, the impaction status of M3, the presence, severity, and location of ERR in M2...

The distribution and related factors of Modic changes (MC) in the lumbar spine has been evaluated. In the present study, the MC in the cervical endplate of patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) was investigated. A total of 6422 cervical endplates of 539 patients suffered from CSM (259 males and 280 females) with mean age of 46 ± 5.2 years. All patients underwent MRI...
Natural medicines were the only option for the prevention and treatment of human diseases for thousands of years. Natural products are important sources for drug development. The amounts of bioactive natural products in natural medicines are always fairly low. Today, it is very crucial to develop effective and selective methods for the extraction and isolation of those bioactive...
Fermentation of chemicals from lignocellulose hydrolysate is an effective way to alleviate environmental and energy problems. However, fermentation inhibitors in hydrolysate and weak inhibitor tolerance of microorganisms limit its development. In this study, atmospheric and room temperature plasma mutation technology was utilized to generate mutant strains of Enterobacter cloacae...
In the article, we present several quadratic transformation inequalities for Gaussian hypergeometric function and find the analogs of duplication inequalities for the generalized Grötzsch ring function.

A structural domain represents a volume of a rock mass with similar mechanical and hydrological properties. To demarcate structural domains (or statistically homogeneous regions) in fractured rock masses, this study proposes a three-parameter simultaneous analysis method (3PSAM) that simultaneously considers rock fracture orientation, trace length, and aperture to evaluate...
