Does low-intensity ultrasound accelerate mandibular implant bone integration in dogs with mandibular osteoradionecrosis?
Low-intensity ultrasound can accelerate the healing of bone tissues surrounding dental implants in osteoradionecrosis of the mandible animals.
We concluded that in response to bradykinin, the glomerulus releases COX metabolites (probably prostaglandins) that have a vasodilator effect. When COXs are inhibited, the vasoconstrictor 20-HETE released by the glomerulus is able to oppose the vasodilator effect of bradykinin. This vasodilator effect is mediated by EETs released by the glomerulus and/or the efferent arteriole and does not involve nitric oxide. The balance between these opposing effects of various eicosanoids controls efferent arteriole resistance downstream from the glomerulus.
