Effect of Propolis mouthwash on plaque and gingival indices over fixed orthodontic patients
2019
Background In patients with fixed orthodontics, the presence of orthodontic appliances causes dental plaque accumulation and hygiene problems. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Propolis and chlorhexidine mouthwashes on plaque and gingival indices in patients who are undergoing orthodontic treatment. Material and Methods In this triple blind study, in total, 37 patients aged from 15 to 35 years those who have been undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment were studied. After that, one of the mouthwashes that containing either Propolis or Chlorhexidine was randomly prescribed to patients. The patients were asked to use mouthwashes twice a day after brushing their teeth for …
The influence of corporate governance's decision on corporate social responsibility
2018
The need for an accurate and detailed disclosure, the need to understand the mechanisms of government under which the company is managed and controlled, are the starting point of the choices of the many stakeholders that revolve around the company. A large number of players is interested in corporate governance are among these, not only the major shareholders, but also an increasing number of small investors. CSR is an extension of firms efforts to foster effective corporate governance, ensuring firms sustainability via sound business practices that promote accountability and transparency. rnThe paper aims to explore the impact that various corporate governance mechanisms have on the commit…
Can copper(II) mediate Hoogsteen base-pairing in a left-handed DNA duplex? A pulse EPR study
2010
Pulse EPR spectroscopy is sued to investigate possible structural features of the copper(II) ion coordinated to poly(dG-dC) poly(dG-dC) in a frozen aqueous solution, and the structural change of the polynucleotide induced by the presence of the metal ion. Two different copper species were identified and their geometry explained by a molecular model. According to this model, one species is exclusively coordinated to a single guanine with the N7 nitrogen atom forming a coordinative bond with the copper. In the other species, a guanine and a cytosine form a ternary complex together with the copper ion. A copper crosslink between the N7 of guanine and N3 of cytosine is proposed as the most prob…
New tricyclic systems as photosensitizers towards triple negative breast cancer cells.
2022
AbstractNineteen pyrrolo[1,2-h][1,7]naphthyridinones and pyrido[2,3-c]pyrrolo[1,2-a]azepinones were synthesized as new tricyclic systems in which the pyridine ring is annelated to the 6,7-dihydroindolizin-8(5H)-one and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-9H-pyrrole[1,2-a]azepine-9-one moieties to obtain potential photosensitizing agents. They were tested for their photoantiproliferative activity on a triple-negative breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231, in the dark and under UVA light (2.0 J/cm2). We demonstrated that their toxicity, only when exposed to light, was primarily due to the generation of reactive oxygen species while their photodegradation products were not responsible for their activity. The mos…
Identificación de TRIM29 localizado en la región cromosómica 11q23.3 como biomarcador de resistencia a Doxorubicina y proliferación celular en cáncer…

El cáncer de mama es una enfermedad compleja y heterogénea en la que los pacientes pueden presentar síntomas similares y padecer la misma enfermedad por razones genéticas completamente diferentes. Los factores que contribuyen a esta heterogeneidad incluyen la variación en el genoma de cada paciente, las diferencias en el origen y la naturaleza de la célula tumoral y los eventos genéticos que contribuyen a la progresión del tumor. La recaída en cáncer de mama es una de las mayores causas de morbilidad en pacientes que desarrollan la enfermedad y, entre ellas, entre un 15-20% poseerán tumores de mama triple negativo (TN). La mortalidad de pacientes con cáncer de mama TN es considerablemente m…

Photophysical behavior of 3-methylquinoline and 3-bromoquinoline
1992
Abstract The phosphorescence emission and excitation spectra and their polarizations have been studied for 3-methylquinoline and 3-bromoquinoline in methylcyclohexane and ethanol glasses at 77 K. From the results obtained in 3-methylquinoline (τp = 1.30 s in ethanol, τp = 1.05 s in methylcyclohexane and the out-of-plane polarization) it is concluded that the emission originates from a triplet state of 3ππ∗ character. In 3-bromoquinoline, the phosphorescence lifetimes (ca. 8 ms in a non-polar solvent and 15 ms in a polar solvent) and the negative degree of polarization indicate an emitting state of ππ∗ character that is strongly coupled to a higher-lying triplet state of the nπ∗ type. The mo…
Ab Initio Studies of Triplet-State Properties for Organic Semiconductor Molecules
2012
Triplet–triplet annihilation (TTA) leads to a reduced efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) at high current densities. Spacial confinement of the triplet excitons, which is mainly dependent on triplet energy differences, can reduce the TTA rate. Therefore, a deliberate choice of the organic semiconductor materials with particular attention to their triplet energies can help to considerably increase the device efficiency. Organic solid-state lasers are, on the other hand, efficiently quenched by singlet–triplet annihilation (STA), which is closely related to the triplet–triplet absorption of the organic semiconductors. To establish a useful set of parameters related to the proc…

Biexciton formation and exciton coherent coupling in layered GaSe.
2015
Nonlinear two-dimensional Fourier transform (2DFT) and linear absorption spectroscopy are used to study the electronic structure and optical properties of excitons in the layered semiconductor GaSe. At the 1s exciton resonance, two peaks are identified in the absorption spectra, which are assigned to splitting of the exciton ground state into the triplet and singlet states. 2DFT spectra acquired for co-linear polarization of the excitation pulses feature an additional peak originating from coherent energy transfer between the singlet and triplet. At cross-linear polarization of the excitation pulses, the 2DFT spectra expose a new peak likely originating from bound biexcitons. The polarizati…
