Do bioactive polyphenol antioxidants protect oral fibroblasts from ROS-inducing agents?
The AO combinations of RFT, PFR and PFT protected the oral fibroblasts from the detrimental effects of H(2)O(2), EtOH and Nic by decreasing total ROS and increasing cell viability and DNA synthesis.
Low back pain that continues or recurs after apparently solid posterolateral spinal fusion may be caused by painful disc(s) at motion segment(s) within the fusion. A solid posterolateral spinal fusion may not protect the residual disc(s) from injury. Anterior interbody fusion can provide significant improvements in pain and function and a high degree of patient satisfaction in this clinical setting.
