adenosine triphosphate/dental caries

Weiss, Emilio (Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, Md.). Adenosine triphosphate and other requirements for the utilization of glucose by agents of the psittacosis-trachoma group. J. Bacteriol. 90:243-253. 1965.-The agent of meningopneumonitis cultivated in the allantoic cavity of chick

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate a chairside caries risk assessment protocol utilizing a caries prediction instrument, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) activity in dental plaque, mutans streptococci (MS) culture, and routine dental examination in five- to 10-year-old children at two

This study aimed to characterize the activity of ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (E-NTPDase; EC 3.6.1.5) in peritoneal cavity cells from BALB/c mice. E-NTPDase was activated in the presence of both calcium (1.5mM) and magnesium (1.5mM) ions. However, the activity was higher in the

Objective: To report a case of the pulmonary surfactant protein(SP) adenosine triphosphate-binding-cassette-A3 (ABCA3) gene mutations in infant congenital interstitial lung disease(ILD), and review the related literature, to investigate the relationships of ABCA3 gene mutation associated with ILD in

OBJECTIVE Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) can promote the repair of spinal cord injury (SCI). To investigate the effect of ATP combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation on SCI, and to evaluate the synergistic action of ATP and BMSCs in the repair of SCI and the

OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of ephedrine on histomorphology and ultrastructure of nasal cavity mucosa from the healthy SD rats and explore the intervenient role of adenosine triphosphate(ATP). METHODS Twenty-three SD rats were divided randomly into three groups: Group A as control group; Group

A primary caretaker is a potential reservoir of bacteria for an infant child and can be evaluated during a child's caries risk assessment. The aim of this study was to investigate an indirect method for assessing Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus (MS) and lactobacillus (LB) levels in a

OBJECTIVE Dentistry has undergone a shift in caries management toward prevention and improved oral hygiene and diagnosis. Caries prevention now represents one of the most important aspects of modern dental practice. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to demonstrate the use of adenosine

NVP-BEZ235 or BEZ235 is a dual inhibitor of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/mammalian-target-of-rapamycin (mTOR) and is promising for cancer treatment. Because it targets more than one downstream effector, a dual approach is promising for cancer treatment.

The cytochrome b6f complex provides the electronic connection between the photosystem I and photosystem II reaction centers of oxygenic photosynthesis and generates a transmembrane electrochemical proton gradient for adenosine triphosphate synthesis. A 3.0 angstrom crystal structure of the dimeric

[31P]-Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in vivo spectra of Echinococcus multilocularis cysts growing subcutaneously in Meriones unguiculatus showed prominent signals due to phosphomonoesters (PME), phosphodiesters (PDE), inorganic phosphate (Pi) and the alpha, beta and gamma phosphate groups of

OBJECTIVE To compare the protein profiles between decapeptide-treated and untreated planktonic cells of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) by differential proteomic analysis to determine and identify the key proteins. METHODS In our previous study, we investigated decapeptide (KKVVFKVKFK-NH2), which

This study investigated the characteristics of ecto-nucleotidases in tissues lining the perilymphatic cavity of the cochlea. The perilymphatic space of the isolated guinea-pig cochlea was maintained with oxygenated artificial perilymph (AP) perfused at a rate of 100 microl/min. Following AP

Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), a major aetiologic agent of dental caries, is involved in systemic diseases, such as bacterial endocarditis, if it enters the bloodstream through temporary bacteraemia. Interleukin (IL)-1β, a proinflammatory cytokine, is related to the host defences against
