Sclerotherapy for the recurrent granulomatous epulis with pingyangmycin

Background Relapse of granulomatous epulis is common after surgery because of local irritations, hormonal level in vivo, or incomplete resection. Currently, if recurrence occurs, then extraction of the teeth adjacent to the lesion is commonly performed, which may influence the aesthetics or masticatory function. Thus, a more effective and less aggressive treatment method is urgently demanded, particularly for the recurring lesion. This study investigated the effects of the intralesional pingyangmycin (PYM) injections for the recurrent granulomatous epulis and assessed the complications. Material and Methods A total of 16 patients with recurrent granulomatous epulis underwent intralesional P…

Global Scale IB AMSR2 Vegetation Optical Depth at X-Band

Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD) plays an increasingly important role in studying global carbon, water and energy transformation [1], [2]. This study explores the performance of the X-MEB (X-band microwave emission of the biosphere) model at global scale. Similar to the L-MEB model, the X-MEB model, built by INRAE (Institut national de recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement) Bordeaux, aims to retrieve VOD (referred to as IB X-VOD) at X-band. To avoid the ill-posed problem caused by retrieving two parameters of interest (soil moisture (SM) and VOD) from mono-angular and dual-polarized observations (AMSR2), which are strongly correlated, we used the ERA5 SM product as a…

Marsupialization facilitates movement of the cystic lesion-associated deeply impacted mandibular third molar in spite of its mature roots

Background: The odontogenic cystic lesions happened in the angle and ramus region are frequently associated with impacted mandibular third molars. The treatment plan was difficult to work out for the huge cystic lesions with deeply impacted third molars, since the enucleation with simultaneously removing the deeply impacted teeth may cause serious complications. Therefore, the marsupialization of the cystic lesions followed by enucleation with tooth removal has also been advocated. The aim of this study was to explore the movement of cystic lesion-associated deeply impacted mandibular third molars (IMTM) after marsupialization. Material and Methods: Between July 2009 and December 2015, pati…
