Collagen as a source of bioactive peptides: a bioinformatics approach

BACKGROUND: Collagen is the most abundant protein in animals and can be obtained from residues of the food industry. Its hydrolysate has many desirable properties that make it suitable as an additive in foods and cosmetics, or as a component of scaffold materials to be used in biomedicine. RESULTS: We re...

Influence of sonic vibration and cement type on the bond strength of fiberglass posts after aging

J. oral res. (Impresa); 9 (5), 2020
Introduction: This study evaluated the influence of sonic vibration and thermocycling on the bond strength of fiberglass posts using conventional dual-cured and self-adhesive resin cements. Material and Methods: Ninety-six single-rooted endodontically treated teeth were divided randomly into eight groups...

Evaluating the effect of different combination of impression and pouring materials on marginal and internal adaptation of zirconia crowns

J. oral res. (Impresa); 9 (5), 2020
Purpose: Two important factors in dental prosthesis are making an accurate impression and producing a suitable cast which represents the exact relationship between prepared tooth and oral structures. This study, aimed to investigate the effects of different combinations of impression and pouring material...

Uso da associação entre hidroxiapatita e plasma rico em plaqueta no tratamento de uma não união óssea de rádio e ulna em um cão - relato de caso

A não união óssea é uma complicação ortopédica que ocorre normalmente devido à instabilidade da fratura em decorrência de uma escolha de fixação inadequada ou inapropriada, suprimento sanguíneo deficiente, osteomielite e afastamento excessivo dos fragmentos; sendo mais comumente em cães de r...

Electroacupuncture alleviates inflammatory pain via adenosine suppression and its mediated substance P expression

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 78 (10), 2020
ABSTRACT Background: Acupuncture has been widely used for alleviating pain. However, its mechanisms remain largely enigmatic. Objective: In the present study, we focused on whether the analgesic effect of electroacupuncture is related to its regulation on adenosine and substance P expression. Method...

Effects of Corchorus olitorius and protacatechuic acid on diabetic rat testis tissue

Int. j. morphol; 38 (5), 2020
SUMMARY: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Protocatechuic acid and Corchorus olitorius on streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rat testis tissue. Randomly selected Wistar Albino rats were divided into five groups as; Diabetes Mellitus, Diabetes Mellitus treated with Corchorus Olitor...

Alcohol-based fixatives can better preserve tissue morphology than formalin

Int. j. morphol; 38 (5), 2020
SUMMARY: Fixation is a crucial step in processing of tissue specimen for preservation of cellular architecture and composition of cells. Alcohol-based fixatives are considered some of the most promising alternatives to formalin. We evaluated the performance of alcohol-based fixatives (EthMeth and methaca...

Hepatotoxicity-induced by the therapeutic dose of acetaminophen and the ameliorative effect of oral co-administration of selenium/Tribulus terrestris extract in rats

Int. j. morphol; 38 (5), 2020
SUMMARY: Over dose or long-term clinical use of therapeutic doses of acetaminophen (APAP) causes hepatotoxicity. Various strategies attempted to ameliorate APAP-hepatotoxicity have been found to be unsuitable for clinical practice. This study was aimed to illustrate the histopathological changes induced ...

Enriched environment alleviates post-stroke cognitive impairment through enhancing α7-nAChR expression in rats

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 78 (10), 2020
ABSTRACT Background: Enriched environment (EE) is a simple and effective intervention to improve cognitive function in post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), partly due to the rebalancing of the cholinergic signaling pathway in the hippocampus. α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR)...
