The concentration of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 reached its maximum values relative to the control (3.9-fold, p < 0.05) to the 14th day post injury that was followed by a considerable reduction (though not reaching the reference values) by the period of scar formation.Conclusion. …”

The applicability of a non-anatomical soft and hard tissue centroid line (S&H centroid) in cephalometrics by Ibrahim S. Al-Shahrani, Khalid M. Al-Balkhi, Abdulaziz Al-Madi

“…The “S&H centroid” line established from 12″ × 14″ lateral cephalometric radiographs of 57 selected adults was used as a base to create a new cephalometric reference line “Centroid-Nasion”. The reliability and the use of the newly created “Centroid-Nasion” as a reference line was tested against the conventional “Sella-Nasion” cephalometric reference line to evaluate the sagittal and vertical maxillary and mandibular relationship. …”
