Microbial environmental contamination in Italian dental clinics: A multicenter study yielding recommendations for standardized sampling methods and t…

2012

A microbiological environmental investigation was carried out in ten dental clinics in Italy. Microbial contamination of water, air and surfaces was assessed in each clinic during the five working days, for one week per month, for a three-month period. Water and surfaces were sampled before and after clinical activity; air was sampled before, after, and during clinical activity. A wide variation was found in microbial environmental contamination, both within the participating clinics and for the different sampling times. Before clinical activity, microbial water contamination in tap water reached 51,200cfu/mL (colony forming units per milliliter), and that in Dental Unit Water Systems (DUWS…

Cathepsin D: A possible biochemical marker for anthracycline cardiomyopathy

1987

This study was carried out in an attempt to assess the pattern of cathepsin D variations induced by Doxorubicin (DXR) and to clarify the role possibly played by this endopeptidase in the onset of anthracyclines-induced cardiotoxicity. We evaluated the variations in both total and 'sedimentable' enzyme activity of cathepsin D in the heart of mice treated once a week for up to 8 weeks with DXR (4 mg/kg i.v.b.wt.) and sacrificed 12h, 3 and 6 days after 1, 4, 5 and 8 administrations. Our results show that significant but transitory changes in both total and sedimentable activity of cathepsin D occur after each administration and decline after prolonged treatments. These data do not suggest, but…
