Article Abstract

Objectives: Implant success depends on osseointegration that is influenced by macrogeometry, including thread design. Thread macrogeometry has a crucial role in achieving primary stability, particularly in low-density bone. Our study reviews the thread design's impact on implant stability, focusing on Straumann BLX (Straumann Co.) implants for practical insights.

Materials And Methods: We searched the PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase for studies released until August 2023 using the following keywords: "implant", "macrogeometry", "thread", "thread depth", "thread pitch", "thread geometry", "macrodesign", "flute", "osseointegration", and "stability". In addition, 58 Straumann BLX implants with dynamic threads, which feature a deep thread design and incorporate a multi-helix flute structure to enhance primary stability across different bone densities, were reviewed retrospectively at our institute.

Results: The literature demonstrated that thread pitch, depth, and flute design significantly affect stress distribution and initial stability, especially in low-density bone. Implants with deep threads and spiral flutes showed improved primary stability and insertion efficiency. Clinically, retrospective data from 58 cases supported favorable outcomes in challenging bone conditions such as posterior maxilla and implant replacement sites.

Conclusion: We need to determine appropriate designs for implants with the consideration of bone quality and implantation bed condition.

Background: Advanced-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with high tumour burden and portal vein tumour thrombus (PVTT) is usually associated with poor survival outcomes. Rapid tumour control usually benefits long-term outcomes, which could be hardly achieved by solely systematic targeted and immunotherapy in current guidelines. Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) is reported as an effective intervention for rapid decrease of tumour burden.

A 2-year minimum follow-up period has generally been preferred in orthopaedic studies. This minimum standard aids comparisons across the literature and helps to ensure methodological rigor. However, in some situations these minimum durations are not required to answer specific research questions and strictly enforcing these requirements poses unnecessary barriers to research by adding cost and complexity, increasing the risk of loss to follow-up, and potentially restricting early dissemination of clinically important findings.

As the primary storage protein, highland barley gliadin (HBG) exhibits limitations in the processing of highland barley foods, primarily due to its abundant non-polar amino acids. In this study, HBG was utilized to prepare sugar-HBG complexes with pentose (xylose), hexoses (glucose and galactose), and disaccharides (lactose and maltose) in an aqueous system at a pH of 11 and a temperature of 75 °C. Subsequently, the structural and functional characteristics of these complexes were evaluated.

The 2021-eruption of Tajogaite (La Palma, Canary Islands) was associated with the formation of large amounts of respirable PM aerosols (smaller than 10 μm) that triggered air quality crisis and lockdowns for ∼35,000 persons. This study aims to quantify the contribution of the aerosol formation mechanisms to the volcanic PM concentrations. During the eruption and post-eruption, we monitored trace gases (SO, HF, HCl and NO), and the size distribution and chemical composition of falling-tephra and PM aerosols.
