Perialveolar bacterial microbiota and bacteraemia after dental alveolitis in adult rats that had been subjected to neonatal malnutrition

Perialveolar bacterial microbiota and bacteraemia after dental alveolitis in adult rats that had been subjected to neonatal malnutrition.

The aim of the present study was to analyse the bacteriological factors during the process of dental alveolitis, relating it to a higher incidence of bacteraemia in adult rats subjected to neonatal malnutrition. We used forty male Wistar rats, suckled by mothers fed a diet during lactation containing 17 % protein in the nourished group (N) or 8 % protein in the undernourished group (UN). After ...

A study of the reference of pronoun ‘this’ in “All praise is due to Allah who guided us to this and we would not have found the way had it not been that Allah had guided us”

We encounter with some pronouns in the Holy Quran that are with no reference. Of course this makes mind search for their reference with regard to the verses’ meaning and intention, otherwise it views as subjective interpretation of Quranic text. One of these cases is the pronoun ‘this’ in (7: 43) in which anyone who is in Paradise says: “All praise is due to Allah who gu...

Neonatal Administration of Memantine Enhances Social Cognition in Adult Rats Subjected to Early Maternal Deprivation

Schizophrenia is considered a neurodevelopmental disorder; however, all the available treatment options are used when the disease becomes clinically significant in adolescence or early adulthood. Using a developmental rat model of schizophrenia, we examined whether neonatal treatment with memantine, an NMDA receptor modulator, can improve schizophrenic-like symptoms in adulthood. Early maternal...

Tubular mitochondrial alterations in neonatal rats subjected to RAS inhibition.

Pharmacological interruption of the angiotensin II (ANG II) type 1 receptor signaling during nephrogenesis in rats perturbs renal tubular development. This study aimed to further investigate tubular developmental defects in neonatal rats subjected to ANG II inhibition with enalapril. We evaluated tubular ultrastructural changes using electron microscopy and estimated spectrophotometrically acti...
