Assessment of computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery system for pain control during restorative procedures: A randomized controlled trial.

. Local anesthesia is given to decrease pain perception during dental treatments, but it may itself be a reason for pain and aggravate the dental fear. Computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery system (CCLADS) is one of the alternatives for decreasing the patients' pain during local anesthesia. This study compared the time required for the recovery from anesthesia, pain/discomfort during inje...

[Astragalus polysaccharide combined with cisplatin inhibits growth of recurrent tumor and down-regulats the expression of CD44, CD62P and osteopontin in tumor tissues in mice bearing Lewis lung cancer].

Objective To investigate the effects of Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) combined with cisplatin (DDP) on the pathological morphology of recurrent tumor and the expression of metastasis-related proteins CD44, CD62P and osteopontin (OPN) following Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) surgery. Methods LLC cell suspension was injected subcutaneously into palmula of left hind limb of C57BL/6J mice as a tumor-sup...
