UNLABELLED Gram-negative bacteria play an essential role in endodontic infections because they have virulence factors such as endotoxin. Due to its potential cytotoxic activity, special attention has been given to the removal/neutralization of this endotoxin in the root canal system. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the apical enlargement size (AES) by using ro...

OBJECTIVE To assess the role of HLA polymorphism in the susceptibility to tuberculosis in Syria. METHODS We used the polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primer method to study the DRB1* locus in 147 Syrian patients with positive sputum smear or sputum culture for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis strains, and 209 Syrian healthy matching individuals with negative tuberculin skin test. Pa...

In rheumatoid arthritis, peripheral blood T cells have age-inappropriate telomeric erosion. We examined whether HLA-DRB1*04 alleles, the major susceptibility genes for this disease, confer risk for T cell senescence. In healthy individuals, HLA-DRB1*04 alleles were associated with excessive loss of telomeres in CD4+ T cells. Accelerated telomeric erosion occurred during the first two decades of...

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the capacity of ProFile.04 Taper Series 29 files to remove gutta-percha during curved root canal retreatment. Forty-four mandibular molars whose mesial roots presented between 26 and 40 degrees of curvature, determined by Schneider's method, were selected. The root canals were enlarged to ISO size 35 and obturated with laterally condensed gutta...

BACKGROUND An avian-like H1N1 swine influenza virus (SIV) is enzootic in swine populations of Western Europe. The virus is antigenically distinct from H1N1 SIVs in North America that have a classical swine virus-lineage H1 hemagglutinin, as does the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus. However, the significance of this antigenic difference for cross-protection among pigs remains unknown. OBJECTIVES We...
