Análise físico-química da superfície de titânio após tratamento químico de descontaminação com clorexidina: estudo in vitro

Introdução: Tratamentos têm sido propostos para a peri-implantite com o objetivo de descontaminar a superfície dos implantes, removendo microrganismos que podem estar associados à doença. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a ação in vitro de diferentes métodos de aplicação de diglu...

A preformulation strategy for the selection of controlled-release components to simulate a subcutaneous implant

Many chronic diseases require repetitive injections as maintenance treatment. It is therefore important to investigate a possible alternative. A simulated subcutaneous implant prototype was fabricated as a polymer matrix covered by cylinder-shape tubing having a porous membrane. Sucrose, bovine serum alb...

El glifosato afecta negativamente a los espermatozoides humanos: evidencia in vitro

Determinar el efecto del glifosato sobre la calidad seminal en humanos a través de una revisión sistemática. Se realizó una búsqueda de la literatura en dos bases de datos (Pubmed y Scopus) de los terminos glyphosate/gliphosate/Roundup/yerbimat y sperm/“male reproductive tract”. Los criterios de...

Neutrophils activated by BJcuL, a C-type lectin isolated from Bothrops jararacussu venom, decrease the invasion potential of neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells in vitro

Neuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor with a mortality rate of 40% in the most aggressive cases. Tumor microenvironment components as immune cells contribute to the tumor progression; thereby, the modulation of immune cells to a pro-inflammatory and antitumoral profile could potentialize the immunotherapy, ...

Recombinant antibodies against Iranian cobra venom as a new emerging therapy by phage display technology

The production of antivenom from immunized animals is an established treatment for snakebites; however, antibody phage display technology may have the capacity to delivery results more quickly and with a better match to local need. Naja oxiana, the Iranian cobra, is a medically important species, respons...

In Vivo Biological Effects of Marine Biosilica on a Tibial Bone Defect in Rats

Abstract Research on biomaterials of natural origin has gained prominence in the literature. Above all, marine sponges, due to their architecture and structural components, present a promising potential for the engineering of bone tissue. In vitro studies demonstrate that a biosilica of marine sponges ha...

Bothrops moojeni L-amino acid oxidase induces apoptosis and epigenetic modulation on Bcr-Abl+ cells

Resistance to apoptosis in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is associated with constitutive tyrosine kinase activity of the Bcr-Abl oncoprotein. The deregulated expression of apoptosis-related genes and alteration in epigenetic machinery may also contribute to apoptosis resistance in CML. Tyrosine kinase i...

Evaluation of Sugar Content and Erosive Potential of the Commonly Prescribed Liquid Oral Medications

Abstract Objective: To assess the total sugar content, endogenous pH, total soluble solids content (TSSC) and titratable acidity of the commonly prescribed long-term and short-term liquid oral medicines (LOM) for children and to compare the erosive potential with the total sugar content and total solubl...

Cytotoxicity, Morphology and Chemical Composition of Two Luting Cements: An in Vitro Study

Abstract Objective: To assess the cytotoxicity, surface morphology, elemental compositions and chemical characterization of two commonly used luting cement. Material and Methods: The two luting types of cement used were Elite Cement® and Hy-Bond Resiglass®. Freshly mixed (n=6) and set form (n=6) of e...

The use of a liner under different bulk-fill resin composites: 3D GAP formation analysis by x-ray microcomputed tomography

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Gap formation of composite resin restorations is a serious shortcoming in clinical practice. Polymerization shrinkage stress exceeds the tooth-restoration bond strength, and it causes bacterial infiltration within gaps between cavity walls and the restorative material. Thus, an intermediate line...
