We studied date palm phytochelatin synthase type I (PdPCS1), which catalyzes the cytosolic synthesis of phytochelatins (PCs), a heavy metal binding protein, in plant cells. The gene encoding PdPCS1 (Pdpcs) consists of 8 exons and 7 introns and encodes a protein of 528 amino acids. PCs gene history
The study was undertaken to determine the in-vitro antibacterial potential of Diospyrosblancoi, Phoenix dactylifera and Morusnigra leaf extracts in hexane, chloroform, methanol, ethyl-acetate and aqueous extracts against dental caries causing bacteria. Disc diffusion assay was used to determine the
α-Galactosidases (EC 3.2.1.22) from resting and germinated date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) seeds were compared and localized using immunocytochemical methods. The enzyme was present in both the endosperm and embryo of resting seeds, in the endosperm undergoing digestion where the greatest specific
Treatment of a caries active patient requires the clinician to be knowledgeable in the restorative and risk management issues with which these patients often present. Modifications of risk factors that promote dental caries play an important part in the long-term restorative success in these
Native Americans are predisposed to one of the highest incidences of otitis media in mankind. The origin of otitis media in Indians remains multifaceted. However, an unusually high prevalence of congenital anomalies of the ear and oral cavity, ie, oral clefts, facial paralysis in diabetics, and the
Two children presented with recurrent swelling and pain, one in the forearm the other in the leg, without a history of a penetrating injury. It was difficult to arrive at a precise clinical diagnosis. X-ray films showed periosteal thickening in the diaphysis of the adjacent long bone with some
Pontine cavernous malformations are highly morbid lesions that require thorough preoperative planning of the surgical approach and meticulous surgical technique to successfully remove. The patient in this case has a large pontine cavernous malformation coming to the parenchymal surface along the
OBJECTIVE
45S5 bioglass mixed with 50% phosphoric acid has been suggested to treat dentine hypersensitivity and incipient enamel caries. This study is going to evaluate the biocompatibility of using the aforementioned technique with the rat pulpal cells.
METHODS
The relative cytotoxicity of 45S5
Peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer remains a refractory disease, and the standard treatment strategy is still unclear. Intraperitoneally administered paclitaxel(PTX)remains in the intraperitoneal(IP)cavity for a long time and directly infiltrates peritoneal metastatic nodules, thereby producing
Oral candidiasis is a common fungal infection, affecting the oral mucosa. The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology and antifungal susceptibility of Candida species isolated from the oral cavity of patients affected by oral candidiasis. Oral swabs were taken from 34 patients and were
Among advanced gastric cancer cases, peritoneal dissemination is a life-threatening mode of metastasis, and any strategy to control peritoneal metastasis will significantly improve treatment outcomes. Since intraperitoneal administration of anticancer drugs can induce an extremely high concentration
Although the epilepsy refractory to medical therapy can potentially be cured by the resection of epileptogenic tissue, many patients do not qualify for surgery, because epileptogenic tissue can arise from eloquent areas of the brain, where surgical resection would result in severe neurological
Fixed orthodontic appliances hinder the maintenance of proper oral hygiene and result in dental plaque accumulation. Many studies report that qualitative changes in the dental flora occur after initiating the orthodontic treatment, but there is a paucity of literature on the same topic among
OBJECTIVE
Early detection of oral cancer is crucial in improving survival rate. To improve early detection, the use of a dilute acetic acid rinse and observation under a chemiluminescent light (ViziLite; Zila Pharmaceuticals, Phoenix, AZ) has been recommended. However, to date, the contributions of
OBJECTIVE
Tacrolimus prolonged-release(PR) formulation is a new once-daily formulation of the calcineurin inhibitor tacrolimus, which is currently used in adult liver or kidney transplant patients,and is also gradually widely used in children with nephrotic syndrome.The present study was undertaken
