Abstract Objective: This study aims to evaluate the clinical and biochemical (oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory mediators) effects of the gaseous ozone use accompanied by scaling and root planning (SRP) in periodontal treatment. Material and Methods: The study population consisted of 40 patients wi...
Abstract Objective Relacin is a synthetic molecule that targets RelA, an essential protein in a conserved bacterial stress response system. It was shown to inhibit bacterial growth. The aims of this study were to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of relacin combined with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on ...
Introduction: Homocysteine (Hcy) tissue accumulation occurs in a metabolic disease characterized biochemically by cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) deficiency and clinically by mental retardation, vascular problems, and skeletal abnormalities. Previous studies indicate the occurrence of DNA damage secondar...
Abstract Background: The major complications of “treated” Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection are cardiovascular disease, malignancy, renal disease, liver disease, bone disease, and perhaps neurological complications, which are phenomena of the normal aging process occurring at an e...
O oxigênio molecular eletronicamente excitado ao estado singlete `û delta gï (û`O IND. 2ï) é bastante reativo frente a moléculas orgânicas com alta densidade eletrônica. As reações do û`O IND. 2ï com o ácido desoxirribonucleico (DNA) têm sido estudadas extensivamente, uma vez que, provocam...
Vários adutos resultantes da reação de aldeídos `alfaï,ß-insaturados, ou de seus epóxidos, com bases do DNA têm sido caracterizadas nos últimos anos. Esses adutos podem levar à incorporação errada de bases durante a replicação ou a transcrição, resultando, se não reparados, em mutações...
