Keratoameloblastoma of the mandible

open access: yesJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2010
Keratoameloblastoma is a very rare ameloblastoma variant defined by extensive squamous metaplasia and keratinization. There are 13 previously reported cases in the literature, with a male predilection of 3:1. A 38-year-old male presented with a painless mandibular swelling which had been progressively increasing in size for 18 months.

Spectrum of Congenital Anomalies in Myhre Syndrome—Insights Into Effects Brought by Altered TGF‐β Signaling via Gain‐of‐Function Variants in SMAD4

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive multisystem involvement. Gain‐of‐function missense heterozygous variants affecting the Ile500 residue and Arg496 residue of the SMAD4 gene are implicated in this condition.

Scalp electroacupuncture targeting trigeminal nerve activation alleviates post‐traumatic stress disorder–induced depression and neuroinflammation in mice

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Scalp electroacupuncture (SA) through activation of the trigeminal pathway exerts anti‐inflammatory, antidepressant, and anxiolytic effects in an animal model of post‐traumatic stress disorder induced by single prolonged stress. This suggests that SA is involved in neuroinflammation and changes in brain‐derived neurotrophic factor protein through the ...

Screw hole-positioning guide and plate-positioning guide: A novel method to assist mandibular reconstruction

open access: yes, 2014
Reconstruction plates have been used to bridge discontinuity defects after resection of mandibular tumors for many years. However, shaping and adapting the titanium plate during surgery is time consuming and technique sensitive especially for a large ...

Morphometric Analysis of the Mandible in Subjects with Class III Malocclusion

open access: yesKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2006
This study evaluated the deformations that contribute to Class III mandibular configuration, employing geometric morphometric analysis. Lateral cephalograms of male and female groups of 100 young adults and 70 children with Class III malocclusion were ...

Establishment of a chronic aspiration pneumonia mouse model using oropharyngeal aspiration of food suspension

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Four aspiration methods (UV, IN, IT, and OA) were compared, and OA was identified as the most effective delivery technique. A chronic aspiration pneumonia model was then established through repeated OA of food suspension or gastric contents. Integrated analyses, including micro‐CT, histopathology, cytokine profiling, and RNA sequencing, revealed ...

A Novel Method to Detect 3D Mandibular Changes Related to Soft-Diet Feeding

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Craniofacial morphology varies among individuals, which is regulated by the interaction between genes and the environment. Soft-diet feeding is a widely-used experimental model for studying the association between the skeletal morphology and muscle ...

Finite element analysis of feeding in red and gray squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris and Sciurus carolinensis)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...
