Up-regulated expression of Dicer reveals poor prognosis in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

abstract：:Alloplastic materials have been used in middle ear reconstruction since 1952. Biologically, biomaterials and specifically ceramics can be defined as being bioinert, bioactive or biodegradable; these terms being descriptive of the biochemical response provoked by the material in the host tissue.
