objective: different techniques have been suggested for the repair of bone defects at the injured sites. use of biomembranes, or application of plasma rich in growth factor (prgf) at the site of proliferation of osteoblasts are among the suggested techniques. the current study aimed to compare the biocompatibility of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hplf) cultured on hypro-sorb f, perica...

biosolids must be stabilized in order to reduce odors, which have been noted as a major concernwith respect to alkaline stabilization. stabilization is designed to address potential putrefaction processes,odiferous releases and vector attraction concerns. also, most alkaline processes are open systems in whichtemperature and mixing are more difficult to control, and factors such as increased pr...

background: bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are one of the undifferentiated multipotential cell sources of human body. methods: mscs have the capacity to form a variety of cell types, especially chondrocytes and osteocytes. learning about responses of mscs to external milieu and chemical factors such as ph could recommend new approaches for preparation of suitable scaffolds for bone a...

This article reports new geochemical, Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb and Re-Os data on the rocks of Middle Paleoproterozoic (1.99 Ga) Tiksheozero ultramafic-alkaline-carbonatite complex confined to northeastern margin Karelian Craton. We focus poorly studied silicate rocks. Based petrographic geochemical research, are subdivided into two groups: an ultramafic-mafic series depleted in REE, other incompatible eleme...

Background and objective: Periodontal disease is one of the common inflammatory diseases with complex etiology and is multifactorial in origin.Several enzymes are evaluated for the early diagnosis of periodontal disease. The enzyme ALP plays a role in bone metabolism. In the periodontium, ALP is very important enzyme as it is part of normal turnover of periodontal ligament, root cementum, and b...

Mice immunized intravenously 10 days earlier (but not those immunized 2 months earlier) with an attenuated Salmonella typhimurium SL3261 aroA live vaccine and tested for delayed-type hypersensitivity by injection of crude Salmonella extracts in the footpad can die within 24 to 48 h of an unexplained allergic reaction. The lethal reaction could be prevented by prior administration of anti-tumor ...

In this study, Nd-doped cobalt oxide (Nd-Co3O4) nanoparticles were prepared by a combustion synthesis procedure using Co(acac)3 complex. The nanoparticles were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Then, the effect of Nd-Co3O4 ...

Zinc powder in aqueous alkaline media was employed to perform reductive amination of aldehydes with primary amines. The corresponding secondary amines were obtained in good yields along with minor amounts of hydrodimerization byproducts. The protocol is a green alternative to the use of complex hydrides in chlorinated or highly flammable solvents.

polymerized antibody for 1 hr and subsequently centrifuged. The pellet containing the enzymatically active enzyme-anti body complex is immediately assayed for enzyme activity with 72 mM phenylphosphate as substrate. Control tubes contain ing 0.15 M NaCl instead of inactivated serum were carried out through the procedure to check on the spontaneous hydrolysis of phenylphosphate at alkaline pH va...

We describe a four-step sequence for the synthesis of complex 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acids involving Z-selective olefination of benzaldehyde derivatives with a novel dioxolenone-containing phenyl phosphonate reagent, followed by dioxolenone cleavage with alkaline trifluoroethanol and oxidative cyclization (Mn(OAc)(3)) of the resultant trifluoroethyl beta-keto esters.
