Structural and physicochemical characterization of the inclusion complexes of cyclomaltooligosaccharides (cyclodextrins) with melatonin

2002

The stoichiometry, geometry, stability, and solubility of the inclusion complexes of melatonin (MLT) with native cyclomaltooligosaccharides (α-, β- or γ-cyclodextrins, CDs) are determined experimentally by high-resolution NMR spectroscopy, calorimetric and solubility measurements, and mass spectrometry. The observed differences are discussed in terms of molecular recognition expression of the host-guest (h-g) interactions within the hydrophobic CDs cavities of different size. The 1:1 h-g stoichiometry in water solution prevails at low CD concentrations; the trend to form higher order associations is observed at increasing CD concentrations. The stability order β-CD>γ-CD>α-CD for the c…

Sex Differences in Frail Older Adults with Foot Pain in a Spanish Population: An Observational Study

2020

Frailty is a condition that can increase the risk of falls. In addition, foot pain can influence older adults and affect their frail condition. The main objective was to measure the frailty degree in older adults in a Spanish population with foot pain from moderate to severe. Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. A sample of people older than 60 years (n = 52), including 26 males and 26 females, were recruited, and frailty disability was measured using the 5-Frailty scale and the Edmonton Frailty scale (EFS). Results: Spearman&rsquo

Scrittura come vendetta. Gli Inferni di Anton Francesco Doni fra realismo allegorico e sintassi manierista

2022

Esito della contaminazione del modello dantesco con innumerevoli altre fonti - dalla letteratura odeporica a quella utopica, dalla prosa religiosa alla poesia burlesca – gli Inferni (1553) di Anton Francesco Doni rappresentano un’opera irriducibile ad un genere predefinito, aperta al gioco intertestuale e all’interazione fra testo e immagini. In una prosa eccentrica e originale, frutto della sua sensibilità manieristica, lo scrittore cinquecentesco ci consegna infatti una potente allegoria della condizione umana, uno specchio rovesciato del mondo come la luna ariostesca, brandendo la penna come una spada per smascherare – tra moralità e ironia – le menzogne della società del tempo.

Mechanistic analysis and experimental verification of bicarbonate-controlled enteric coat dissolution: Potential in vivo implications

2019

Enteric coatings have shown in vivo dissolution rates that are poorly predicted by traditional in vitro tests, with the in vivo dissolution being considerably slower than in vitro. To provide a more mechanistic understanding of this, the dependence of the release properties of various enteric-coated (EC) products on bulk pH and bicarbonate molarity was investigated. It was found that, at presumably in vivo-relevant values, the bicarbonate molarity is a more significant determinant of the dissolution profile than the bulk pH. The findings also indicate that this steep relationship between the dissolution of enteric coatings and bicarbonate molarity limits those coatings' performance in vivo.…

Comparison of postoperative morbidity between piezoelectric surgery and conventional rotary instruments in mandibular third molar surgery: a split-mo…

2020

Background The extraction of impacted third molar teeth is a common procedure in maxillofacial surgery. The aim of this study was to compare of piezoelectric surgical technique with the one with conventional rotary instruments in terms of edema, trismus and pain, in mandibular third molar surgery. Material and Methods 20 individuals with symmetrically impacted lower mandibular third molars and 40 teeth were included in the study. Third molars on the left side of each patient were removed with piezosurgery, while the counterparts on the right side were removed with conventional rotary instruments. Postoperatively, the same antibiotic, analgesic, and mouthwash were recommended to both groups.…

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-07-01 Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) Background: As third molar surgery is the most commonly procedure performed in Dentistry and has been accompanied by serious postoperative disorders such as pain edema and trismus, the study aimed to evaluate if ultrasound device would be able to reduce such postoperative features. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of soft tissue flap elevation, osteotomy and odontosection using piezosurgery versus conventional technique in mandibular third molar extractions. Material and Methods: Twenty patients with impacte…

Le pieghe minori nelle Unità Imeresi e Trapanesi dei Monti di Palermo ed il loro significato nell’evoluzione tettonica dell’area

2003

In questo lavoro sono riassunte le osservazioni sulle pieghe minori che interessano i terreni delle Unità Imeresi e Trapanesi del settore orientale dei Monti di Palermo, con l'obbiettivo di: a) descri-vere la geometria e lo stile deformativo delle mesopieghe e stabilirne le relazioni spazio-temporali con le pieghe maggiori e le altre strut-ture minori (clivaggi, joints); b) ricavare, attraverso l'analisi stati-stica dei dati giaciturali, l'orientazione dei campi deformativi asso-ciati alle strutture plicative; c) ricostruire il significato delle pieghe minori nell'evoluzione tettonica dell'area. Nelle Unità Imeresi e Trapanesi, l'analisi statistica dei dati e le osservazioni di campagna han…

The dry stone wall of 'Paretone dei Greci': an anthracological approach

2011

International audience; Dry stone constructions are a common occurrence in many Mediterranean landscapes. One of these structures known as "Paretone dei Greci" (Taranto, Southern Italy), was subject to an archaeological investigation. Soil and sediment material within this wall, as well as those above and below it, were sampled and processed for archaeobotanical studies. In this manner it was possible to understand its building technique as well as giving it a chronological context. Through an anthracological analysis it was possible to insert the "Paretone" within the surrounding agricultural landscape, thus better highlighting its function in relation to the history of the territory

La pierre pour elle-même. Gestion, statut et perception d'un matériau en Bourgogne à la fin du Moyen Âge

2017

L'observation du parcours de la pierre est l'occasion d'observer les pratiques et la gestion que son emploi impose, le statut qu'elle a pour les bâtisseurs du Moyen Âge dans et hors du chantier. La richesse des sources dijonnaises des XIVe et XVe siècles, et la confrontation des données textuelles et archéologiques, sont l'occasion de réfléchir aux aspects de ce processus. Cet article s'articule autour de trois idées, liées au lieu, à la valeur, et au statut de cette pierre qui n'a plus de lien avec la carrière.
