The aim of this study was to observe the dental condition in a group of elderly patients over a period of 10years in order to clarify important risk factors.

Participants were elderly patients (in their eighties) who took panoramic radiographs between 2015 and 2016, and for whom panoramic radiographs taken around 10year earlier were also available. The number of remaining and lost teeth, the Eichner Index, the presence or absence of molar occlusion, the respective condition of dental pulp, dental crowns, alveolar bone resorption, as well as periapical lesions were investigated through the analysis of panoramic radiographs. Additionally, other important variables were collected from patients' medical records. From the obtained panoramic radiograph sets, the patients' dental condition was investigated, and a systematic comparison was conducted.

The analysis of the panoramic radiographs showed that the number of remaining teeth decreased from an average of 20.8-15.5, and the percentage of patients with 20 or more teeth decreased from 69.2 to 26.9%. A factor analysis investigating tooth loss risk suggested that tooth loss was associated with the bridge, P2 or greater resorption of the alveolar bone, and apical lesions, and gender (with males having a higher risk compared to females).

Teeth showing P2 or greater alveolar bone resorption, bridge, and apical lesions on panoramic radiographs are most likely to be lost in an elderly patient's near future. Consequently, this group should be encouraged to visit their dental clinics regularly and receive comprehensive instruction on individual self-care methods.

The purpose of this review is to summarize our own experimental studies carried out over a 13-year period of time using the F98 rat glioma as model for high grade gliomas. We evaluated a binary chemo-radiotherapeutic modality that combines either cisplatin (CDDP) or carboplatin, administered intracerebrally (i.c.) by means of convection-enhanced delivery (CED) or osmotic pumps, in combination with either synchrotron or conventional X-irradiation.

F98 glioma cells were implanted stereotactically into the brains of syngeneic Fischer rats. Approximately 14days later, either CDDP or carboplatin was administered i.c. by CED, followed 24h later by radiotherapy using either a synchrotron or, subsequently, megavoltage linear accelerators (LINAC).

CDDP was administered at a dose of 3µg in 5 µL, followed 24h later with an irradiation dose of 15Gy or carboplatin at a dose of 20µg in 10 µL, followed 24h later with 3 fractions of 8Gy each, at the source at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). This resulted in a median survival time (MeST) > 180days with 33% long term survivors (LTS) for CDDP and a MeST > 60days with 8 to 22% LTS, for carboplatin. Subsequently it became apparent that comparable survival data could be obtained with megavoltage X-irradiation using a LINAC source. The best survival data were obtained with a dose of 72µg of carboplatin administered by means of Alzet® osmotic pumps over 7days. This resulted in a MeST of > 180days, with 55% LTS. Histopathologic examination of all the brains of the surviving rats revealed no residual tumor cells or evidence of significant radiation related effects.

The results obtained using this combination therapy has, to the best of our knowledge, yielded the most promising survival data ever reported using the F98 glioma model.

Indeed, much recent theoretical and experimental work suggests that the main challenge for the visual cortex is to build up such nuisance invariant representations. Recently, artificial convolutional networks have succeeded in both learning such invariant properties and, surprisingly, predicting cortical responses in macaque and mouse visual cortex with unprecedented accuracy. However, some of the key ingredients that enable such success-supervised learning and the backpropagation algorithm-are neurally implausible. This makes it difficult to relate advances in understanding convolutional networks to the brain. In contrast, many of the existing neurally plausible theories of invariant representations in the brain involve unsupervised learning, and have been strongly tied to specific plasticity rules. To close this gap, we study an instantiation of simple-complex cell model and show, for a broad class of unsupervised learning rules (including Hebbian learning), that we can learn object representations that are invariant to nuisance transformations belonging to a finite orthogonal group. These findings may have implications for developing neurally plausible theories and models of how the visual cortex or artificial neural networks build selectivity for discriminating objects and invariance to real-world nuisance transformations.Endometriosis is a common, chronic and painful disease in women, whose pathogenesis remains not entirely clear. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MALAT1 participates in the development of endometriosis. This study further investigated the regulation of MALAT1-miR-126-5p-CREB1 axis in the pathological process of endometriosis. MALAT1, miR-126-5p, and CREB1 levels in human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) were detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Protein levels were determined by Western blotting. Cell viability and apoptosis was assessed by MTT assay and annexin V-FITC staining, respectively. The interactivity between miR-126-5p and MALAT1 (or CREB1) was assessed by dual luciferase reporter system. GSK2795039 NADPH-oxidase inhibitor Knockdown of MALAT1 or CREB1 restrained proliferation and induced apoptosis as confirmed by upregulating cleaved caspase-3 and Bax, and down-regulating Bcl-2 in HESCs, while inhibition of miR-126-5p presented the opposite results. Moreover, silencing of MALAT1 triggered apoptosis of HESCs via targeting miR-126-5p.
