Abstract

Lip prints and bloodstains may be left behind in many crime scenes and may reveal the identity of the victimand the suspected person. This study was aimed to investigate the inheritance pattern of lip prints and bloodgroups among parents and their offspring in the Javanese population. 105 subjects from 25 Javanese familyframes participated in this study. Lips print pattern was recorded and analyzed according to Suzuki andTsuchihashi classification. A blood group test was also performed for each subject. The statistical analysiscarried out using IBM® SPSS® Statistics version 23.0 (IBM, Armonk, New York, USA). The results of thisstudy revealed that type II was the predominant pattern of lip prints among the Javanese population (34.3%).Blood group A was the predominant type in subjects with lip prints type II (15%). The result also shows thatthe lip prints pattern in girls tends to be inherited from the mother. However, the inheritance of lip printspattern in boys couldn’t be determined precisely. The heritability of lip prints pattern was observed betweenparents and their offspring. Also, there was a tendency of blood groups to have a certain pattern of lip prints.

Abstract

Background: to evaluate the effect of different dentifrices on the surface roughness of two composite resins(nanofilled-based and nanoceramic – based composite resins). Materials and methods: Forty specimens(diameter 12 mm and height of 2mm) prepared from different composite resin materials: Z350 (nanofilledcomposite, and Ceram-X (nanoceramic) .they were subjected to brushing simulation equivalent to theperiod of 1 year. The groups assessed were a control group brushed with distilled water (G1), Opalescencewhitening toothpasteR (G2), Colgate sensitive pro-relief (G3) and Biomed Charcoal Toothpaste (G4). Theinitial and final roughness of each group was tested by surface roughness tester. The results were statisticallyanalyzed using ANOVA and Tueky test at 0.05 significance level. Results: the surface roughness of thetwo tested composites brushed with the tested dentifrices was statistically higher than the roughness foundin control group. Comparison among the three types of dentifrices showed that there was a statisticallyhigh significant difference in the surface roughness among all subgroups. Charcoal Toothpaste showed thehighest surface roughness increase. Conclusion: Whitening dentifrices increase the surface roughness ofdental composite thereby compromising its durability. Changes in composite depended on the material itselfand the dentifrices used.

Abstract

Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have a vital role in the molecular genetic eventsof angiogenesis and vasculogenesis, so it is involved in the development of cancer. Single nucleotidepolymorphisms (SNP) in VEGF gene has been announced as a risk factor in colorectal cancer. Bevacizumab(BEV) is an angiogenesis inhibitor that curb the binding of VEGF to its receptors obstructing the angiogenesisprocess. Objective: The ideal goal of ongoing study lies in revealing the effect of rs699947 (-2578 C/A (andrs833061 (-460C/T( polymorphisms in the promoter of VEGF gene on the development of colorectal cancerand on the BEV responsiveness in a sample of Iraqi patients using High Resolution Melting Analysis (HRM)analysis. Methodology: Venous blood samples were collected from 25 colorectal cancer patients withresponse to BEV treatment and 25 with BEV resistant and 25 apparently healthy individuals as controlgroup who matched with patients in age and gender. Results: AA and CA polymorphisms A allele ofrs699947 (-2578 C/A) and TT and CT polymorphisms and T allele of rs833061 (-460C/T( were representa risk factor on the occurrence of the colorectal cancer. It has been found that CC and CA polymorphismof the VEGF - 2578 C/A and CT genotype of the VEGF -460 C/T polymorphism might be a predictivefactors of responsiveness to BEV chemotherapy in CRC patients. Conclusion: These outcomes confirm theessential role that VEGF polymorphisms play in the occurrence of CRC and the correlation between SNPs inVEGF promoter region and the BEV responsiveness. With this, further research and investigation of VEGFpolymorphisms could allow for its use in identifying risk factors for the development of CRC and increasingits predictive value for anti-VEGF cancer therapies.
