The connection between skeletal muscle and spinal canal membrane of Takifugu rubripes and its anatomical and physiological significance Open
Introduction The myodural bridge (MDB) is considered one of the circulatory dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Initially identified in the human neck, it has since been documented across diverse vertebrates, including fish with analogo…
Novel Bioactive Resin Coating with Calcium Phosphate Nanoparticles for Antibacterial and Remineralization Abilities to Combat Tooth Root Caries Open
Tooth root caries account for 10.1% of all dental caries in the USA. This study developed a multifunctional resin coating with calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion release and antibacterial properties to combat root caries. The effects of na…
Novel Antibacterial Resin Coating for Dental Provisional Crowns to Suppress Biofilms and Inhibit Secondary Caries Open
Provisional crowns are often used in dentistry for prolonged periods, but bacterial attachment and dental plaque often lead to gingival inflammation and secondary caries. The aims of this research were to develop a novel resin-based antiba…
Novel Bioactive Nanocomposites Containing Calcium Fluoride and Calcium Phosphate with Antibacterial and Low-Shrinkage-Stress Capabilities to Inhibit Dental Caries Open
Objectives: Composites are commonly used for tooth restorations, but recurrent caries often lead to restoration failures due to polymerization shrinkage-stress-induced marginal leakage. The aims of this research were to: (1) develop novel …
Novel Dental Low-Shrinkage-Stress Composite with Antibacterial Dimethylaminododecyl Methacrylate Monomer Open
Objectives: Current dental resins exhibit polymerization shrinkage causing microleakage, which has the potential to cause recurrent caries. Our objectives were to create and characterize low-shrinkage-stress (LSS) composites with dimethyla…
An anatomical study of the suboccipital cavernous sinus and its relationship with the myodural bridge complex Open
The suboccipital cavernous sinus (SCS) and the myodural bridge complex (MDBC) are both located in the suboccipital region. The SCS is regarded as a route for venous intracranial outflow and is often encountered during surgery. The MDBC con…

The occipito-atlantal cistern Open
The cisterna magna has been defined as the space between the inferior margin of the cerebellar vermis to the level of the foramen magnum, while an enlarged dorsal subarachnoid space at the occipito-cervical junction extending from the fora…
Novel dental resin infiltrant containing smart monomer dodecylmethylaminoethyl methacrylate Open
Objectives White spot lesions (WSLs) are prevalent and often lead to aesthetic problems and progressive caries. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a novel resin infiltrant containing smart monomer dodecylmethylaminoethyl met…
The relationship between myodural bridges, hyperplasia of the suboccipital musculature, and intracranial pressure Open
During mammalian evolution, the Myodural Bridges (MDB) have been shown to be highly conserved anatomical structures. However, the putative physiological function of these structures remains unclear. The MDB functionally connects the subocc…
The relationship between compensatory hyperplasia of the myodural bridge complex and reduced compliance of the various structures within the cranio‐cervical junction Open
The myodural bridge complex (MDBC) is described as a functional anatomic structure that involves the dense connective tissue fibers, muscles, and ligaments in the suboccipital region. It has recently been proposed that the MDBC can influen…
The growth and developmental of the myodural bridge and its associated structures in the human fetus Open
The myodural bridge (MDB) is a dense connective tissue structure between the suboccipital musculature and the spinal dura mater (SDM). However, few reports on the development and maturation of the human MDB. 30 head and neck specimens from…
A new concept of the fiber composition of cervical spinal dura mater: an investigation utilizing the P45 sheet plastination technique Open
Purpose Few reports have been published regarding the microanatomy of the dura mater located at the craniovertebral junction (CVJ). In clinic, the precise microanatomy of the CVJ dura mater would be taken into account, for reducing surgica…
Congenital Atlanto-Occipital Fusion and its Effect on the Myodural Bridge: A Case Report Utilizing the P45 Plastination Technique Open
The atlanto-occipital joint is composed of the superior fossa of the lateral masses of the atlas (C1) and the occipital condyles. Congenital Atlanto-occipital fusion (AOF) involves the osseous union of the base of the occiput (C0) and the …
Low-Shrinkage Resin Matrices in Restorative Dentistry-Narrative Review Open
Dimethacrylate-based resin composites restorations have become widely-used intraoral materials in daily dental practice. The increasing use of composites has greatly enhanced modern preventive and conservative dentistry. They have many sup…
Identification of the Myodural Bridge in a Venomous Snake, the Gloydius shedaoensis: What is the Functional Significance? Open
Myodural bridges (MDB) are anatomical connections between the suboccipital muscles and the cervical dura mater which pass through both the atlanto-occipital and the atlanto-axial interspaces in mammals. In our previous studies, we found th…
Biocompatible Nanocomposite Enhanced Osteogenic and Cementogenic Differentiation of Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells In Vitro for Periodontal Regeneration Open
Decays in the roots of teeth is prevalent in seniors as people live longer and retain more of their teeth to an old age, especially in patients with periodontal disease and gingival recession. The objectives of this study were to develop a…
Novel antibacterial calcium phosphate nanocomposite with long-term ion recharge and re-release to inhibit caries Open
Short-term studies on calcium-phosphate (CaP) ion-rechargeable composites were reported. The long-term rechargeability is important but unknown. The objectives of this study were to investigate nanocomposite with strong antibacterial and i…
An Early Developmental Marker of Deficit versus Nondeficit Schizophrenia Open
People with schizophrenia and primary negative symptoms (deficit schizophrenia) differ from those without such symptoms (nondeficit schizophrenia) on risk factors, course of illness, other signs and symptoms, treatment response, and biolog…
