Introduction: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) belong to the pattern recognition receptor family of signal molecules that recognize heterogeneous antigens. The aim of this study was to analyze polymorphisms in the TLR genes and their association with the presence of selected periodontal pathogens and clinical manifestation of chronic periodontitis (CP). Methods: Two polymorphisms in TLR-2, two SNPs in TLR-4 and three variants in TLR-9 genes were studied in 216 patients with CP and 184 unrelated controls. All polymorphisms were detected using the PCR-RFLP methods. The subgingival presence of 7 selected periodontal pathogens was investigated...

Traditional therapeutic management has been based on the assumption that hemangiomas will involute spontaneously by age of 5-7. Nevertheless, a significant minority of vascular anomalies do require a treatment since they possibly might to threat the patient's life.

Introduction: Dentigerous cyst is the second most often common odontogenic jaw cyst. It develops from epithelium of tooth source. Etiology and pathogenesis of dentigerous cyst are not clearly explained. By the time of formation cyst and evolution stage of handicapped tooth we distinguish three types of dentigerous cyst - cyst toothless, coronary and odontoblastic. Clinical demonstration can be absence of permanent tooth, curved alveolar process or change of teeth position. Diagnosis specify's roentgen examination, there is necessary histological verification to confirm diagnosis.Complications caused by presence of dentigerous cyst are connected...

Sarcomas are neoplasm's of mesenchymal origin and represent less than 2% of all cancers. The histological classification is often difficult (there are more than 50 subtypes of sarcoma) and they are characterized according to the tissue from which they develop, with 4/5 arising from soft tissues and 1/5 from bone. Among the most common sarcomas in adults are malignant fibrous histiocytoma (40%) and liposarcoma (25%), less common is osteosarcoma, angiosarcoma, and fibrosarcoma. The most common sarcoma in childhood is rhabdomyosarcoma. Sarcomas can arise anywhere in the body, the most common sites are the extremities (50%), followed by the trunk and retroperitoneum...
