Technical Considerations

In modern orthodontics, aesthetics appear to have a decisive influence on orthodontic appliance preferences and acceptability. This paper reports the early application of a newly emerged functional device with enhanced aesthetics in a Class II treatment. Patient perspectives and technical considerations are discussed along with recommendations for further design development. It can be assumed that the use of thermoplastic material-based appliances may meet both the therapeutic and aesthetic demands of young age groups.

Latar belakang: Maloklusi Angle Klas II divisi 2 sering disertai coverbite dan merupakan kasus yang sulit dirawat dan mudah relaps. Keberhasilan perawatan kasus maloklusi Angle klas II divisi 2 bergantung pada variasi yang menyertai baik pada jaringan keras atau jaringan lunak. Bila variasi ringan, keberhasilan perawatn baik, tetapi bila terdapat kelainan skeletal parah, keberhasilan perawatan akan sulit dicapai. Tujuan: Tujuan dari artikel ini adalah untuk menyajikan hasil perawatan ortodontik teknik Begg pada kasus maloklusi Angle klas II divisi 2 yang disertai coverbite. Laporan Kasus: pasien wanita dengan usia 19 tahun mengeluhkan gigi depan atas masuk dan tidak rapi. Diagnosis: maloklusi Angle klas II divisi 2 dengan retrognatik mandibula disertai coverbite, palatal bite, cup to cup bite dan pergeseran garis tengah rahang bawah. Penanganan: Pasien dirawat menggunakan alat cekat teknik Begg. Sebelum perawtan dilakukan pencabutan premolar dua kiri atas, dan molar pertama dan kedua kiri bawah yang nonvital untuk mengatasi crowding. Kesimpulan: Setelah 2 tahun perawatan, tampak sudut interinsisal berkurang, overbite berkurang, overjet bertambah, dan cup to cup bite di regio posterior terkoreksi. Background: Class II division 2 malocclusion often accompanied with coverbite and have been considered difficult to treat and prone to relapse. The successful treatment of this malocclusion depends to the variation of the hard and soft tissue. In mild variation the chances of succesful treatment remain good, while if skeletal discrepancies appear the fully succesfull treatment is hard to achieve. Objectives: The aim of this article is to presnet the treatment of class II division 2 malocclusion accompanied with coverbite using Begg tehnique. Case: 19 years old female patient complained her anterior upper teeth which palatally tipping and crowded. Diagnose: Class II division 2 malocclusion, accompanied with retrognatic mandible, deepbite, palatal bite, cup to cup bite in posterior region, and lower dental centerline shift. Treatment: Patient was treated with orthodontic appliance using Begg technique. Before the treatment left upper second premolar was extracted, while mandibular crowding corrected by extracting lower first and second left molar which were non fital. Conclusion: After 2 years treatment,decreasing of interincisal angle and overbite was achieved, as well as increasing overjet and correction of posterior cup to cup bite.

Morphological Patterns

Recently, the functional aspect as well as morphological aspect of the reserve cells in the cervix uteri drew much attention in view of the carcinogenesis in squamocolumunar junction. In this communication, the authors elucidate the ultrastructural features of the reserve cells in patients of various age groups visiting our university hospital and affiliated hospital.From conventional light microscopic point of view, the reserve cells tend to be pronounced in various pathological conditions, such as the persisting inflammation, proliferative disorders and irritation of hormones. The morphological patterns of the reserve cells from various stage and degree of irritation were observed.

Effects Of Aging

Normal aging results in a pronounced spatial memory deficit associated with a rapid decay of long-term potentiation at the synapses between the perforant path and spines in the medial and distal thirds of the dentate molecular layer (DML), suggesting the alteration of synaptic transmission in the dentate fascia. While the number of dentate granule cells remains unchanged, and there are no obvious pathological changes in these cells associated with increasing age, the density of their axospinous contacts has been shown to decrease. There are indications that the presynaptic element is affected by senescence before the postsynaptic element, yet little attention has been given to the fine structure of the remaining axon terminals. Therefore, we studied the axon terminals of the perforant path in the DML across three age groups.5 Male rats (Fischer 344) of each age group (3, 24 and 30 months), were perfused through the aorta.

RTS,S/AS01 is the most advanced vaccine to prevent malaria. It is safe and moderately effective. A large pivotal phase III trial in over 15 000 young children in sub-Saharan Africa completed in 2014 showed that the vaccine could protect around one-third of children (aged 5–17 months) and one-fourth of infants (aged 6–12 weeks) from uncomplicated falciparum malaria. The European Medicines Agency approved licensing and programmatic roll-out of the RTSS vaccine in malaria endemic countries in sub-Saharan Africa. WHO is planning further studies in a large Malaria Vaccine Implementation Programme, in more than 400 000 young African children. With the changing malaria epidemiology in Africa resulting in older children at risk, alternative modes of employment are under evaluation, for example the use of RTS,S/AS01 in older children as part of seasonal malaria prophylaxis. Another strategy is combining mass drug administrations with mass vaccine campaigns for all age groups in regional malaria elimination campaigns. A phase II trial is ongoing to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the RTSS in combination with antimalarial drugs in Thailand. Such novel approaches aim to extract the maximum benefit from the well-documented, short-lasting protective efficacy of RTS,S/AS01.
