Although both treatments were useful, a surgical drain was significantly more effective at reducing swelling and pain intensity than Kinesio tape. The effects of both on trismus were similar.
A novel method was developed for facile immobilization of enzymes on silica surfaces. Herein, we describe a single-step strategy for generating of reactive double bonds capable of Michael addition on the surfaces of silica particles. This method was based on reactive thin film generation on the surfaces by heating of impregnated self-curable polymer, alpha-morpholine substituted poly(vinyl methyl ketone) p(VMK). The generated double bonds were demonstrated to be an efficient way for rapid incorporation of enzymes via Michael addition. Catalase was used as model enzyme in order to test the effect of immobilization methodology by the reactive film surface through Michael addition reaction. Finally, a plug flow type immobilized enzyme reactor was employed to estimate decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide. The highly stable enzyme reactor could operate continuously for 120 h at 30 °C with only a loss of about 36 % of its initial activity.
The incidence of coronoid fractures is reported to be 1-2% in all facial fractures (1). Etiological factors are stated to include traffic accident, fall, attack, third molar tooth extraction and sagittal split osteotomy (2-4). Coronoid fractures are usually simple and linear and have little displacement. If the periosteum is injured, this displacement rate may increase with the contraction of the temporal muscle (3). Its definite diagnosis is established by considering patient history, clinical examination and radiographic examination. Although conservative approaches are generally used in its treatment, surgical intervention is rarely required (5). In this report, a case of isolated coronoid process fracture and its treatment was presented with the review of the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
