Neue Erkenntnisse zur Ätiologie der sogenannten Strahlenkaries
1997
Fragestellung Die Atiologie der Strahlenkaries wird trotz vieler Untersuchungen kontrovers diskutiert: Die These einer direkten radiogenen Lasion des Zahnhartgewebes steht der einer indirekten Pathogenese uber die Radioxerostomie gegenuber.
Development of a European consensus from dentists, dental hygienists and physicians on a standard for oral health care in care-dependent older people…
2020
ObjectivesThis study aimed to obtain a consensus on oral health policy, access to dental care, oral hygiene measures and training levels.BackgroundPoor oral health is widespread in care-dependent older people, but no consensus for a minimum standard of oral health care exists yet.MethodsThe e-Delphi approach was applied to a selected panel of interdisciplinary experts. Data analysis was based on three measurements: (a) ≥70% of experts’ opinion fall into category “agree or strongly agree,” (b) median score on the 5-point Likert scale ≥4, (c) interquartile range ≤1.ResultsA total of 31 experts from 17 European countries participated in this survey. Agreement was achieved for a compulsory dent…
ChemInform Abstract: Calixcrowns : Synthesis and Properties
2009
The synthesis and properties of calix[n]crowns (n = 4–8), calix[n]biscrowns and their related compounds, resorcinarene crowns, have been discussed and reviewed. These macrocycles exhibit remarkable ionophoric properties toward alkali and alkaline earth metal cations, as well as, to tertiary amines. The selectivity and efficiency of calixcrowns in binding cations have been attributed to their structural features, which include substituent effects and size of the crown ether moiety and, conformation of the parent calixarene.
The Distribution of Carcinogen Metabolizing Enzymes in the Mouse Liver: Comparison of Parenchymal and Non-Parenchymal Cell Populations
1987
The distribution of aminopyrine N-demethylase (APND), ethoxy- resorufin O-deethylase (ERRD), epoxide hydrolase (EH) and glutathione transferase (GST) activities in parenchymal (PC) and non-parenchymal (NPC) cell populations of control and Aroclor 1254-treated C57BL/6N and DBA/2N mice was determined. Furthermore, the metabolism of benzo(a)- pyrene (BP) in PC and NPC of both Aroclor 1254-treated mice strains was examined. Measurable activities of all enzymes investigated were detected in control PC as well as NPC of both mice strains; in all instances the PC possessed greater enzyme activities than did the NPC. The PC and NPC of DBA/ 2N mice had significantly lower ERRD and EH activities than…
Role of Parenchymal Versus Non-Parenchymal Cells on the Control of Biologically Reactive Intermediates
1986
The non-parenchymal cells (NPC) of the liver have the potential to significantly influence the formation of reactive intermediates in the liver because of their critical location along the sinusoids where they are the first cells to encounter blood borne xenobiotics. To study the possible role of the NPC in the metabolism of xenobiotics, populations of NPC and parenchymal cells (PC) were prepared from rats and various xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme activities investigated. The specific activity of every enzyme studied was 12 to 1000% higher in the PC than in the NPC populations and the pattern of activities between the 2 populations was remarkably different. The NPC also displayed a more dr…
Research on the Diurnal Courses of Abscissic Acid, 1-Aminocyclopropane Carboxylic Acid and Its Malonyl Conjugate Contents in Needles of Damaged and U…
1993
Ethylene regulates many aspects of plant growth, development and senescence. The immediate precursor of ethylene was identified as 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid (ACC) [7]. Amrhein et al. [1] discovered that ACC supplied exogenously was efficiently converted into ACC malonyl conjugate (MACC) along with ethylene production.
Studies on the diurnal courses of the contents of abscisic acid, 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid and its malonyl conjugate in needles of damaged …
1993
Summary The diurnal courses of the contents of 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid (ACC), its malonyl conjugate (MACC) and abscisic acid (ABA) in the two-year-old needles of damaged and undamaged spruce trees (Picea abies L.) were investigated. The contents of ACC and MACC were significantly higher in the needles of the damaged trees as compared with the undamaged ones. In the needles of the damaged spruce trees, the ACC and MACC contents, and ABA contents as well, fluctuated to a greater extent than those in the undamaged spruce trees during the day. The relationships between ACC-ABA and MACC-ACC contents as well are also discussed.
Resorcinarene Crowns ☆
2017
Resorcinarene crowns are a class of supramolecular hosts combining a crown ether moiety to a resorcinarene platform as either a podand arm, lower rim substituent, or a bridge. Resorcinarene crowns act as cation hosts and have therefore shown potential in ion transportation and in antibacterial applications.
Titanium dioxide in dental enamel as a trace element and its variation with bleaching
2017
Background Titanium is a less studied trace element in dental enamel. Literature relates an increased Titanium concentration with a decreased enamel crystal domain size, which in turn is related to a higher color value. The aim of our study was to analyze the effect of tooth bleaching agents on its concentration in dental enamel by means of confocal Raman spectroscopy. Material and methods Human teeth were randomly distributed in six experimental groups (n=10) and submitted to different bleaching protocols according to the manufacturer´s instructions. Confocal Raman spectroscopy was carried out in order to identify and quantify the presence of titanium dioxide molecules in enamel prior to a…
Pharmacological treatment of burning mouth syndrome : a review and update
2007
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is defined as a burning sensation in the tongue or in any other region of the oral mucosa, in the absence of specific oral lesions. The present study reviews the pharmacological treatments used in the last 10 years to reduce the symptoms of BMS, and assesses the efficacy and safety of pharmacological interventions destined to alleviate the symptoms of BMS. To this effect, searches were made in the following databases: Micromedex®, Cochrane Database® and PubMed®, crossing the following key words: drug, treatment, clinical trial, pain management, and burning mouth syndrome. The searches were limited to articles published in the last 10 years in English or Spanish,…
