group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus. The preceding infection commonly appears as an upper respiratory infection, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, or strep throat.

The inflammation can occur in the large joint, skin, wrist, elbows, knees, and ankles. Rheumatoid arthritis is an abnormal immune response, causing inflammation of the synovial…

changes but there will also be major structural and functional changes in the dermal extracellular matrix (Naylor et al., 2011). Chronic exposure to ultraviolet radiation will induce the expression of matrix metalloproteinases to cause breakdown of collagen fibres resulting in changes in the extracellular matrix, alterations in the dermis and the formation of wrinkles (Lee et al., 2008). The human skin consist of five different layers: the three dermis layers, the hypodermis and the stratum…

The following features are usually observed during microscopic examination: 1) Stromal desmoplasia, in the form of moderately cellular, fibrous connective tissue with abundant collagen, which is the most consistent, and distinguishing feature; 2) Islands of different shapes in the epithelial component; 3) peripheral layer of cuboidal cells; and 4) Hypercellular central area composed of spindle shaped or polygonal epithelial cells…

Kaempferol is a natural polyphenol, secondary metabolite (flavonol), a type of flavonoid, found in a variety of plant-derived foods. Kaempferol is a yellow crystalline solid with a melting point of 276–278 °C. It is slightly soluble in water and highly soluble in hot ethanol, ethers, and DMSO. Kaempferol acts as an antioxidant by reducing oxidative stress.

Theoretical/Conceptual Paradigm The study is based on the premise that various preparations of platelet concentrate such as PRF and CGF may be regarded as healing biomaterials since they contain all the necessary components permitting optimal wound healing following surgical procedures. Components such as growth factors and pro-inflammatory cytokines have been reported to work in unison for the achievement of wound healing in various medical and surgical cases. As such this can be a…
