Objective The purpose of the present study was to assess the symphyseal morphology and lower incisor angulation in different anteroposterior relationship and in different growth patterns and to investigate whether the symphyseal morphology had any correlation with dentofacial parameters. Method Random Sampling method and lateral cephalograms of 90…[Read more]

RESULTS Of the 40 subjects, 20(50%) each were in the two groups. In Group-A mean age was 42.75±11.13 years. In Group-B, it was 40.50±9.14 years. Eccentric muscle energy technique and static stretching technique both showed significant results (p0.05 each) on all parameters. CONCLUSIONS Both the techniques used were found to be equally effective i…[Read more]

as a novel treatment for GBM.

Our results demonstrate that a promoter-targeted dsRNA can silence or promote gene transcription depending on its targeted site in different cis-acting elements in the gene promoter. Targeted inhibition of GDNF by enhancer II-targeted dsRNA may be explored as a novel treatment for GBM.The choice of a (bio)material…[Read more]

To investigate the relationship between interleukin (IL)-33 gene polymorphisms rs928413 and rs7044343 with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the Chinese Han population.

We assessed IL-33 rs928413 and rs7044343 polymorphisms by Sanger sequencing of PCR products amplified from the genomic DNA of 160 COPD patients and 123…[Read more]
