Background & Aim: A gag reflex (GR) can be a problem to compliance and delivery of dental treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of Diospyros kaki L. fruit extract in controlling gag reflex during dental treatment. Experimental: Our study was a randomized double blind controlled trial with convenient sampling on 84 patients that is candidate for ra...

The influence of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) on collagen fibrillogenesis in vitro was investigated. GAG and collagen were isolated from the liver of rats treated with carbon tetrachloride at various time intervals (3-16 weeks). It was found that GAG obtained from the fibrotic liver accelerated collagen fibril formation. This effect was more evident in a solution of type I collagen than type II...

? some 4 months ago. A small sore resulted, which, instead of healing, has gone on steadily increasing in size. There is a good deal of shooting pain, difficulty in speaking and swallowing, and much distress generally. On admission into the Medical College Hospital a few days ago a large epithelioma with cracked fungating base and indurated everted edges was seen occupying the right side of ton...

W hen it comes to the complex flavors and fragrances in a wine, chemical analysis is no match for the human nose and mouth. Sensory scientist Hildegarde Heymann develops and tests methods to quantify what people smell and taste in wine, so that winemakers can tailor their craft to control the flavors in their products. The benches in her lab at the University of California, Davis, are covered w...

Background: Successful insertion of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) requires deep anesthesia, the proper opening mouth, and adequate suppression upper reflexes. Propofol injection can effectively reduce This study aimed to compare effectiveness propofol alone versus plus muscle relaxant on LMA hemodynamic parameters during induction anesthesia. Methods: randomized, double-blind clinical was perfo...

objective: cartilage mass produced from mesenchymal stem cell (msc) differentiation would be a suitable candidate for use in regenerative medicine. since the proper function of cartilage tissue is largely dependent on matrix glycosaminoglycan (gag) contents, the objective of this study was to investigate the enhancing effect of two gsk3 inhibitors on the gag content of cartilage produced by hum...

We have examined the influence of RNA upon the interaction of Gag-Pol with Gag during human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) assembly. COS7 cells were transfected with protease-negative HIV-1 proviral DNA, and Gag/Gag-Pol complexes were detected by coimmunoprecipitation with anti-integrase. In COS7 cells, Gag/Gag-Pol is found almost entirely in pelletable, membrane-bound complexes. Exposur...
