Studies on plaque distribution and gingival crevicular fluid after non-surgical treatment in smokers and non-smokers with periodontal diseases
(1998-03-13)
with high values of matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) were significantly deeper compared to sites with low values of MMP-8. Significantly higher prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels were also found in smokers in sites with high values of MMP-8 compared to sites...
Inflammation in brain contusion
(1997-03-14)
was undertaken to explore whether intracerebral inflammatory processes occur following cerebral contusions and to analyze the pathophysiological role of such processes.
A maximal inflammatory response with infiltration of monocytes/macrophages, CD4 and CD8...
