Caffeine increases the expression of cystatin SN in human submandibular acinar-like HSG cells
2013
The study aimed at evaluating in vitro the effect of caffeine on expression of cystatin SN, a potential marker of sensitivity to bitterness in humans.Differentiation of human submandibular gland (HSG) cells was induced by culturing cells on Matrigel. Caffeine cytotoxicity was assessed over 3 days by the Resazurin test. Finally, effects of 5, 50 and 100μM caffeine exposure on cystatin SN expression were explored over 3 days by ELISA.At concentrations relevant to human adult plasma levels (5, 50 and 100μM), caffeine did not affect cell viability whether cells were differentiated or not. Cystatin SN levels were overall higher in differentiated cells and increased with time in both conditions. …
New Forceps and Spatula for Easy Retropupillary Implantation of Iris Claw Lenses in Aphakia: Experience in 4 Years of Use
2008
PURPOSE. Retropupillary implantation of an iris claw lens offers a rapid and atraumatic approach for rehabilitation of aphakic eyes. The difficulty in the implantation process arises because of the possibility of losing the intraocular lens (IOL) into the vitreous cavity and the need to change the hand holding the forceps during the enclavation. M ETHODS. The new forceps design radically changes the method of grasping an IOL. It contains an extendable supporting plate with a hook-like end. The instrument achieves a horizontal three-point fixation at the edge of the implant in the 6 and 12 o’clock position in order to prevent slippage into the vitreous cavity during the inclination. The supp…
Livelli di rappresentazione del testo nell’edizione del De nomine di Orso Beneventano
2018
Viene presentato l’impianto metodologico e tecnologico dell’edizione critica digitale del De nominedi Orso Beneventano (http://www.unipa.it/paolo.monella/ursus), una proof of concept delle innovazioni metodologiche proposte da Tito Orlandi. Il modello qui sperimentato intende superare la dicotomia tra edizione diplomatica e critica grazie ad un ripensamento profondo, semioticamente fondato, dei livelli di trascrizione e di edizione di un testo. I livelli scelti per questa edizione sono: (1) Livello grafematico, le cui unità minime sono i grafemi, inclusi i segni paragrafematici e le brachilogie sistematiche. Tutti i grafemi individuati dall’editore sono elencati nella Graphemic Table of Sig…

Efecto antibiótico sobre la dinámica de formación de biofilm endodóntico
2020
Es de vital importancia conocer la etiología y patogénesis de una enfermedad para desarrollar las formas más efectivas de prevención y tratamiento. Por ello, conocer y comprender la microbiología endodóntica, específicamente la biología de las biopelículas, que se forman en el interior de los conductos radiculares, es esencial para comprender el potencial patogénico de la microbiota y el desarrollo de tratamientos efectivos y eficientes. Las interacciones entre microorganismos presentes en un biofilm dotan a la comunidad de propiedades y funciones que no pueden observarse en cada componente de forma individual. Por este motivo, puede observarse un aumento de la virulencia, mayor resistencia…
