The biological effects of different LED wavelengths in the health field. A review

Introduction: the use of light emitting diodes (LED) in domestic and public vias have increased in the last 20 years. In addition, the LED light has been used as a light source for medical applications. Objective: since humans are increasingly exposed to LEDs, there is an urgency to investigate the poss...

The activity of propolis against pathogenic fungi isolated from human infections

Abstract Propolis is a resinous hive product collected by bees from the buds or other parts of plants. It is known for having various biological properties, including antifungal activity. Among the substances present in propolis, flavonoids and phenolic acids and their esters are responsible for its anti...

Clinical Evaluation of Composite Restorations with and without Polyethylene Fiber in First Permanent Molars: A 24-Month Randomized Clinical Trial

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the 24-month clinical performance of composite resin restorations with and without polyethylene fiber in the first permanent molars of pediatric patients with extensive caries. Material and Methods: In total, 75 Class II restorations were placed in the permanent molar te...

Alternative method using Real Time PCR for evaluation of inactivated Newcastle disease viral vaccine

The present work aims to establish a new alternative protocol to evaluate in vitro potency of inactivated Newcastle disease virus vaccine using Real Time PCR. Aqueous phases of seven inactivated Newcastle disease virus vaccines batches of different manufacturers were extracted by isopropyl myristate. The...

The in vitro effects of n-3 fatty acids on immune response regulation of bovine ex vivo endometrial explants

Fatty acids are considered metabolic intermediaries, although new facts indicate they also work as signaling molecules with different roles in the immune response. Based on that, in this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) as eicosapentaenoic ac...

Analysis of the effect of in vitro dissolution on the pharmacokinetics of albendazole

Abstract Albendazole is an anthelmintic drug commonly used in parenchymal neurocysticercosis and cystic echinococcosis. The aim of this study was to explore whether disparities in the dissolution profiles of albendazole products lead to significant differences in pharmacokinetic parameters. Three generic...

Effects of the microRNA-99a-5p/VLDLR axis in lung cancer cell sensitivity to chemotherapy and its mechanism

Abstract Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related death worldwide. This study investigated the regulatory effects of the microRNA-99a-5p (miR-99a-5)/VLDLR axis on lung cancer cell sensitivity to chemotherapy and its mechanism. miR-99a-5p and VLDLR expression levels were quantified using RT-qPCR and...
