ABSTRACT
Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is a relatively uncommon gingival growth that is considered to be reactive in nature and appear secondary to irritation or trauma. It presents as an exophytic growth with smooth surface. POF in older age group, observance of calcification in radiograph of excised specimen, pathologic migration, mobility and size greater than 2 cm is an occasional entity. The article presents such a rare case of POF in a 60-year-old female patient which was treated by surgical excision. This case contradicts the logic that this lesion occurs in teenagers and in second and third decades of life
El fibroma osificante periférico (FOP) es un crecimiento gingival poco común, considerado reactivo por su naturaleza y en general se manifiesta secundario a una irritación o trauma y se presenta como un crecimiento exofítico de superficie lisa. En grupos de mayor edad, el FOP muestra calcificación radiográfica, migración patológica, movilidad y un tamaño mayor de 2 cm, es de carácter ocasional. Se presenta un caso raro de FOP en una paciente de 60 años que fue tratado mediante excisión quirúrgica. Este caso, contradice su lógica de aparición en adolescentes o adultos entre la segunda y tercera década de la vida

High resolution thermal denaturation (HRTD) profiles of the DNAs of six related millets, oat and rice showed several maxima and shoulders skewed towards the GC-rich side. Linear regression and correlation analyses exhibited no correlation between the repetitive DNA content/nuclear DNA content and the number of peaks, while there existed a very good correlation between delta T and repetitive DNA content/nuclear DNA content indicating that increase in repetitive DNA content has resulted in a greater sequence heterogeneity in these DNAs. In addition, specific melting characteristics of each of the eight plant DNAs were identified, which showed species specificity.
