isothiocyanate/dental caries

Thirteen enantiomeric pairs of α-amino acids derivatised with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC-AAs) were separated in capillary electrophoresis (CE) using as chiral selectors the single isomer derivatives (SIDs) 3-monodeoxy-3-monoamino-β- and γ-cyclodextrins. The chiral separation data obtained by

The aim of this study was to investigate the response, acute effects and time-course of sensitization and desensitization to allyl isothiocyanate (mustard oil) nasal stimuli in healthy subjects. Sixty subjects participated in the experiment, which employed psychophysical (intensity ratings) and

One- and two-dimensional (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR) spectra were measured in order to estimate the dissociation constants (K(diss)) and molecular geometries of cyclodextrin (CD) with three organic isothiocyanates (ITC), allyl-ITC, 3-butenyl-ITC, and 4-pentenyl-ITC, in an aqueous

The secondary hydroxyl ion (alkoxide) ion for cyclodextrin (CD) may affect the decomposition of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) in alkaline solutions. The equilibrium and kinetic parameters involved in the reaction processes were measured. It was found that the interaction between the alkoxide ion for

The decomposition of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) in an aqueous solution was depressed in the presence of cyclodextrin (CD), it's suppression effect increasing in the order of none < beta-CD < alpha-CD. The results of kinetic and thermodynamic analysis of the CD-AITC inclusion complexes showed that

The formation of host-guest complex between benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was studied using dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations. The complexation process was monitored using molecular docking simulations, natural bond orbital (NBO) technique, nuclear

Factors in circulating air may play a role in immune responses after surgery through induction of gut-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) translocation across the gut. CD-1 mice were randomized to one of four treatment groups: controls, laparoscopy with carbon dioxide inflation, laparoscopy with air

OBJECTIVE Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is an emerging technology. Apart from its therapeutic implications, this type of access to the peritoneal cavity might also be useful for targeted in vivo histological investigation by means of confocal fluorescence microscopy. In

Protein-imprinted cavities bearing exchangeable domains to be used for postimprinting fluorophore introduction to transform binding events into fluorescence changes were constructed in molecularly imprinted polymer (MIPs) matrixes prepared on glass substrates. Copolymerization was performed with

The exchange of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled dextrans ranging in weight-averaged molecular weight from 19,400 to 160,000 and 125I-bovine serum albumin (BSA) between dialysis fluid (5% BSA in Krebs-Ringer solution) in the peritoneal cavity and the plasma was studied in anesthetized female

This study aimed at testing how active and inactive enamel caries lesions differ by their degree of resin infiltration, and whether the choice of acid pretreatment plays a crucial role. Four examiners assessed 104 human molars and premolars with noncavitated enamel lesions and classified them as

Enhanced cruciferous vegetable consumption is associated with the reduction of cancer incidence as shown in epidemiological studies. Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), one of the important compounds in cruciferous vegetables, has been shown to induce apoptosis in many types of human cancer cell

The effect of phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) on the metabolism of N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) and 4-(methyl-nitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) by cultured rat oral tissue was investigated. Two protocols were used. In one, oral tissue from untreated rats was cultured in the presence of 10

Lung and oral cavity cancers are causally associated with tobacco use. Alcohol is an independent risk factor for oral cavity cancer. Major classes of carcinogens present in tobacco and tobacco smoke are converted into DNA-reactive metabolites by cytochrome P450 (CYP)-related enzymes, several of

Chemical irritation in the human nasal cavity is poorly documented. In this field, an important issue concerns the differential responses produced by successive stimulation. Repeated identical chemical irritant stimuli can produce increases or decreases in responses (two phenomena known as
