Does peripheral kappa opioid receptors activation reduce alveolar bone loss in rats by modulating interleukin-6 and -10?
Lowering the levels of IL-6 and increasing IL-10 are important mechanisms by which U-50,488 reduces alveolar bone loss in ligature-induced periodontal disease.
The addition of septoplasty to oropharyngeal ambulatory surgical procedures does not significantly increase the rate of unplanned revisits or postoperative hemorrhage except in the case of septoplasty added to tonsillectomy, with a small percentage increase in hemorrhage rate. Combining septoplasty with ambulatory oropharyngeal surgery is clinically reasonable in adults.
