Article Abstract
The role of Nucleoplasmin (NP) as a H2A-H2B histone chaperone has been extensively characterized. To understand its putative interaction with other histone ligands, we have characterized its ability to bind H3-H4 and histone octamers. We find that the chaperone forms distinct complexes with histones, which differ in the number of molecules that build the assembly and in their spatial distribution. When complexed with H3-H4 tetramers or histone octamers, two NP pentamers form an ellipsoidal particle with the histones located at the center of the assembly, in stark contrast with the NP/H2A-H2B complex that contains up to five histone dimers bound to one chaperone pentamer. This particular assembly relies on the ability of H3-H4 to form tetramers either in solution or as part of the octamer, and it is not observed when a variant of H3 (H3C110E), unable to form stable tetramers, is used instead of the wild-type protein. Our data also suggest that the distal face of the chaperone is involved in the interaction with distinct types of histones, as supported by electron microscopy analysis of the different NP/histone complexes. The use of the same structural region to accommodate all type of histones could favor histone exchange and nucleosome dynamics.

Ectopic Supernumerary Fourth Molar in the Mandibular Notch: A Report of an Atypical Case With Literature Review.
Cureus
August 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Virgen del Rocio University Hospital, School of Medicine, University of Seville, Seville, ESP.
The presence of a fourth supernumerary molar in the mandible represents a rare anomaly of dentofacial development. Here, we describe an exceptional, previously unreported case of a 33-year-old man with a solitary ectopic supernumerary fourth molar located in the sigmoid notch, which was associated with a dentigerous cyst. In addition, a review of the literature related to this uncommon and atypical clinical presentation is provided.

Russian University of Medicine, Moscow, Russia.
Objective: Evaluation of the effectiveness and impact of the shared decision-making method on patient satisfaction with the quality of preoperative preparation for combined (orthodontic and surgical) treatment.
Material And Methods: The study included 97 patients with skeletal forms of distal and mesial occlusion, who were prepared for combined (orthodontic and surgical) treatment using the shared decision-making method. The effectiveness of the shared decision-making technique used in preparing patients for combined treatment was assessed by means of a questionnaire developed.
Long-Term Outcomes of Prefabricated Flaps Vascularized By the Parietal Branch of the Superficial Temporal Artery for Facial Reconstruction.
J Craniofac Surg
September 2025
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, Shijingshan District, Beijing, China.
Background: Prefabricated flaps are a versatile technique for reconstructing facial defects. This study presents a long-term follow-up study of prefabricated flaps carried by fascia flaps based on the parietal branches of the superficial temporal artery (STA-pb-based fascia flap) for facial reconstruction.
Methods: Between November 2004 and January 2007, 14 patients who underwent facial reconstruction using prefabricated flaps carried by STA-pb-based fascia flaps were retrospectively reviewed.
Radiographic Changes of the Nasolacrimal Duct in Silent Sinus Syndrome.

Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Service, Department of Ophthalmology, Massachusetts Eye and Ear, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Purpose: Silent sinus syndrome (SSS), known as chronic maxillary atelectasis, is characterized by inward collapse of the maxillary sinus walls with resultant bowing of the maxillary sinus bones due to negative antral pressures. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is an important first step to normalize pressures. The impact of SSS on nasolacrimal duct (NLD) anatomy remains unclear.

Aim: Addressing skeletal Class II (CII) malocclusion often involves molar distal movement (Dx). While traditional methods like headgear face challenges related to patient compliance, clear aligner therapy (CAT) is considered an appealing alternative, although its effectiveness in molar Dx is an ongoing study area. This systematic review (SR) seeks to review the recent studies on the efficacy of CAT for effecting molar Dx.
