Assessment of the Relationship between Maxillary Posterior Teeth and Maxillary Sinus Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography by Alaa Abdelqader Altaweel, Sami Mohammed Saad Sowairi, Ahmed Mohammed Saaduddin Sapri, Sama Abdulelah Saeedi, Asalah Hamad Alamri, Albtoul Ahmed Alnobi, Maha Fahad ALSharif, Ahmed Mohsen A Altokhi, Hisham Abbas

“…Because of the close contact between maxillary sinus and maxillary posterior teeth, procedural errors such as perforation of the sinus may occur during surgical intervention resulting in oroantral communication, which if not corrected, would develop into a fistula. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between maxillary posterior teeth and maxillary sinus floor in a population of the western area of Saudi Arabia, and if age, gender, and size may affect such distance. …”

Photodynamic Therapy with the Silicon Phthalocyanine Pc 4 Induces Apoptosis in Mycosis Fungoides and Sezary Syndrome by Minh Lam, YooJin Lee, Min Deng, Andrew H. Hsia, Kelly A. Morrissey, Chunlin Yan, Kashif Azzizudin, Nancy L. Oleinick, Thomas S. McCormick, Kevin D. Cooper, Elma D. Baron

“…Our current focus on the effects of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) using silicon phthalocyanine Pc 4 photosensitizer on malignant T lymphocytes arose due to preclinical observations that Jurkat cells, common surrogate for human T cell lymphoma, were more sensitive to Pc 4-PDT-induced killing than epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells. Mycosis fungoides (MF) as well as Sezary syndrome (SS) are variants of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) in which malignant T-cells invade the epidermis. …”
