Abstract
Background These days minimally invasive micro-osteoperforation (MOPs) has accelerated orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). However, there are some conflicting reports about their various impacts; hence, the present systematic review study aimed to evaluate the effect of MOP on root resorption, pulp vitality, and the biological changes of teeth subjected to OTM. Materials and Methods Search in electronic databases of English literature including PubMed, Scopus, Web of sciences, Cochrane, and Google scholar as well as a manual search was performed from 2013 to 2022. Most of the studies included in this article were randomized controlled trials. Results From the total number of 321 found articles, 31 duplicated and 268 irrelevant articles were excluded regarding the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Consequently, 22 articles were subjected to the quality assessment process, and finally, 18 articles were selected for the review phase. Root resorption during tooth movement using the MOP approach was reported only in one study. Besides, except for two animal studies, all of the relevant included articles showed that MOPs significantly increased the expression of some inflammatory biomarkers known to recruit osteoclast precursors and increase the number of osteoclast cells. On the other hand, two animal studies showed no differences in osteoclast counts by using MOPs in comparison to their control groups, which was consequently the result of biologic variability between animal and human and also probably the small sample sizes of these two studies. Conclusion In this systematic review, according to the adverse effects of MOP on root resorption, one study showed higher levels of root resorption among patients undergoing MOP. However, this outcome was due to the different methods used to evaluate the effect of MOPs on root resorption. Moreover, a high certainty of evidence supports that MOP causes biological changes and an elevation in cytokines, chemokines, and other biomarkers that stimulates osteoclasts differentiation which in turn accelerate OTM. There was no change in pulp vitality status based on available evidence.

Abstract
Oral and maxillofacial tissue defects caused by trauma, tumor reactions, congenital anomalies, ischemic diseases, infectious diseases, surgical resection, and odontogenic cysts present a formidable challenge for reconstruction. Tissue regeneration using functional biomaterials and cell therapy strategies has raised great concerns in the treatment of damaged tissue during the past few decades. However, during biomaterials implantation and cell transplantation, the production of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) may hinder tissue repair as it commonly causes severe tissue injuries leading to the cell damage. These products exist in form of oxidant molecules such as hydrogen peroxide, superoxide ions, hydroxyl radicals, and nitrogen oxide. These days, many scientists have focused on the application of ROS-scavenging components in the body during the tissue regeneration process. One of these scavenging components is antioxidants, which are beneficial materials for the treatment of damaged tissues and keeping tissues safe against free radicals. Antioxidants are divided into natural and synthetic sources. In the current review article, different antioxidant sources and their mechanism of action are discussed. The applications of antioxidants in the regeneration of oral and maxillofacial tissues, including hard tissues of cranial, alveolar bone, dental tissue, oral soft tissue (dental pulp, periodontal soft tissue), facial nerve, and cartilage tissues, are also highlighted in the following parts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) is associated with breast cancer in menopausal women. Naturally occurring biomolecules found in common dietary protocols, such as flavonoids, play a key role in the inhibition and treatment of cancer. In-vitro/in-vivo studies showed that treatment involving flavonoids led to a reduced risk of breast cancer due to the decrease of IGF-1 level in addition to an increased insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-3. However, clinical studies did not show conclusive results in this regard because they are contradictory. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to find the effect of flavonoids on IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 and the incidence of breast cancer. METHODS This systematic review was performed using PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, and EMBASE databases to collect results about the clinical use of flavonoids and their effects on breast cancer. After eliminating duplicate articles, the title and abstract of the remaining articles were examined in thematic communication, and related clinical articles were selected and studied based on inclusion criteria. The data were extracted from each article, and then statistical analysis was subsequently carried out by Comprehensive Meta-Analysis. RESULTS The results showed that the effect of flavonoids on changes in IGF1 and IGFBP-3 was not statistically significant. No significant heterogeneity was detected across the studies. Pooled effect size also indicated that the mean change was not statistically significant. No significant heterogeneity was detected across the studies. There was no evidence of publication bias for IGF1 and IGFBP-3. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis study suggests that flavonoid supplementations have no significant effect on IGF-1 and IGFBP-3, and a high soy diet has beneficial effects on IGF system components, which might be useful in breast cancer.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels have been known as promising materials for the regeneration of irregular shape tissue defects. In this study, novel thermosensitive methylcellulose (MC) hydrogels containing bassorin (Ba) and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) have been developed for application in bone tissue engineering. Bassorin isolated from gum tragacanth (GT) with the concentration of 0.25-1.5 w/v% was blended with MC. The best MC/Ba gel (containing 0.5% bassorin) was chosen based on the results of injectability and rheological tests. HNTs (1-7%) were added to this formulation and tested for the physicochemical, mechanical, rheological, degradation, swelling, and biological properties. In vitro biological evaluations including cell proliferation (by MTT assay), cell attachment (by SEM), osteogenic activity (by Alizarin Red staining and alkaline phosphatase assay), and osteogenic gene expression (by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) were done using MG-63 cells. Results showed that bassorin led to the increased gel-forming ability (at a lower temperature) and mechanical properties of MC hydrogel. The presence of HNTs and bassorin affected the degradation rate and swelling degree of MC-based hydrogel. Results showed significant enhancement in cell proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization, as well as higher bone-specific gene expression of the cell on bassorin and HNTs incorporated MC compared to pure MC hydrogel.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has been established to be an effective method for the repair of defective tissues, which is based on isolating bone defects with a barrier membrane for faster tissue reconstruction. The aim of the present study is to develop poly (hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)/fibrinogen (FG)/bredigite (BR) membranes with applicability in GBR. BR nanoparticles were synthesized through a sol-gel method and characterized using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometer. PHBV, PHBV/FG, and PHBV/FG/BR membranes were fabricated using electrospinning and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, contact angle, pore size, thermogravimetric analysis and tensile strength. The electrospun PHBV, PHBV/FG, and PHBV/FG/BR nanofibers were successfully obtained with the mean diameter ranging 240-410 nm. The results showed that Young's modulus and ultimate strength of the PHBV membrane reduced upon blending with FG and increased by further incorporation of BR nanoparticles, Moreover hydrophilicity of the PHBV membrane improved on addition of FG and BR. The in vitro degradation assay demonstrated that incorporation of FG and BR into PHBV matrix increased its hydrolytic degradation. Cell-membrane interactions were studied by culturing human fetal osteoblast cells on the fabricated membrane. According to the obtained results, osteoblasts seeded on PHBV/FG/BR displayed higher cell adhesion and proliferation compared to PHBV and PHBV/FG membrane. Furthermore, alkaline phosphatase activity and alizarin red-s staining indicated enhanced osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of cells on PHBV/FG/BR membranes. The results demonstrated that developed electrospun PHBV/FG/BR nanofibrous mats have desired potential as a barrier membrane for guided bone tissue engineering. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Bioceramic nanoparticles with high specific surface area often tend to agglomerate in the polymer matrix, which results in undesirable mechanical properties of the composites and poor cell spreading and attachment. In the present work, bredigite (BR) nanoparticles were modified with an organosilane coupling agent, 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS), to enhance its dispersibility in the polymer matrix. The polyhydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvaletare (PHBV) nanofibrous scaffolds containing either bredigite or GPTMS-modified bredigite (G-BR) nanoparticles were fabricated using electrospinning technique and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and tensile strength. Results demonstrated that modification of bredigite was effective in enhancing nanoparticle dispersion in the PHBV matrix. PHBV/G-BR scaffold showed improved mechanical properties compared to PHBV and PHBV/BR, especially at the higher concentration of nanoparticles. In vitro bioactivity assay performed in the simulated body fluid (SBF) indicated that composite PHBV scaffolds were able to induce the formation of apatite deposits after incubation in SBF. From the results of in vitro biological assay, it is concluded that the synergetic effect of BR and GPTMS provided an enhanced hFob cells attachment and proliferation. The developed PHBV/G-BR nanofibrous scaffolds may be considered for application in bone tissue engineering.
