Article Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate root cortical aerenchyma formation in response to Cd-driven hydrogen peroxide (H O ) production and the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the alleviation of Cd oxidative stress in maize roots and its effects on aerenchyma development. Maize plants were subjected to continuous flooding for 30 days, and the following treatments were applied weekly: Cd(NO ) at 0, 10, and 50 μM and Na [Fe(CN) NO]·2H O (an NO donor) at 0.5, 0.1, and 0.2 μM. The root biometrics; oxidative stress indicators H O and malondialdehyde (MDA); and activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) were analyzed. The root dry and fresh masses decreased at higher concentrations of NO and Cd. H O also decreased at higher NO concentrations; however, MDA increased only at higher Cd levels. SOD activity decreased at higher concentrations of NO, but CAT activity increased. Aerenchyma development decreased in response to NO. Consequently, NO acts as an antagonist to Cd, decreasing the concentration of H O by reducing SOD activity and increasing CAT activity. Although H O is directly linked to aerenchyma formation, increased H O concentrations are necessary for root cortical aerenchyma development.

Existing treatments for chronic pain often prove ineffective and carry adverse side effects, highlighting the need for better analgesics, including non-pharmacological treatments. We demonstrate that transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), when repeatedly applied during the early phase of nerve injury in mice, produces sustained analgesic effects by activating the dorsal column nucleus (DCN)-thalamic-cortical pathway, which transmits vibration, discriminative touch, and proprioception. Mechanistically, TENS selectively activates glutamatergic neurons in the DCN (DCN) via exciting Aβ low-threshold mechanoreceptors (Aβ-LTMRs) in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs).

This study applied Raman spectroscopy (RS) to ex vivo human cadaveric femoral mid-diaphysis cortical bone specimens ( = 118 donors; age range 21-101 years) to predict fracture toughness properties via machine learning (ML) models. Spectral features, together with demographic variables (age, sex) and structural parameters (cortical porosity, volumetric bone mineral density), were fed into support vector regression (SVR), extreme tree regression (ETR), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and ensemble models to predict fracture-toughness metrics such as crack-initiation toughness (K) and energy-to-fracture (J-integral). Feature selection was based on Raman-derived mineral and organic matrix parameters, such as νPhosphate (PO)/CH-wag, νPO/Amide I, and others, to capture the complex composition of bone.

Background: Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) is a minimally invasive neuromodulation technique used for the management of chronic radicular pain. While its analgesic effects are well-documented, its impact on sensorimotor integration at the cortical level remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether DRG PRF modulates sensorimotor integration via the cholinergic system using the Short-Latency Afferent Inhibition (SAI) paradigm.

Introduction: Root dilaceration, a clinically significant developmental anomaly that can complicate dental treatment, has been attributed to various etiological factors, but the role of odontogenic lesions is still poorly understood. This observational study aimed to evaluate the relationship between odontogenic lesions and root dilaceration in impacted teeth.
Methods: The sample size consisted of 22 impacted teeth divided into two groups: with odontogenic lesions (Group IwL) and without lesions (Group IwoL).

Background: For orthodontists, the position of the incisors is a key factor in setting treatment goals. Achieving maximum stability requires that they be positioned in the medullary portion of the alveolar bone, balanced with the lingual and labial musculature. Incorrect orthodontic movements can result in root resorption, dehiscences, or even fenestrations.
