Aspiration of foreign bodies occurs mainly in children and elderly people. When the foreign body is a tablet, this event can be more severe due to the local release of active molecules. We observed spontaneously regressing bronchial necrosis and granuloma due to the aspiration of a tablet of ferrous sulphate. We stress the need to consider the possibility of aspiration of a tablet in elderly pa...

Background: Anaemia has significant impact on health of the fetus as well that mother. Increased need iron during pregnancy especially after 2nd trimester makes supplementation mandatory. Ferrous ascorbate is known to exist intact inside gastrointestinal tract due stable chelation with ascorbate. This compound does not dissociate any food inhibitors. The aim study effectiveness Ascorbate and su...

1. The effects of acid mucopolysaccharides and acid mucopolysaccharide-proteins on the size and rate of formation of fibril aggregates from collagen solutions in pH7.6 buffers were studied by turbidimetric and light-scattering methods. 2. Serum albumin, orosomucoid, methylated cellulose, chondroitin sulphate A and chondroitin sulphate C of molecular weight less than 20000, and hyaluronate of mo...

Alkaline phosphatase from human liver was purified to homogeneity. The purification procedure included solubilization with butanol, fractionation with acetone, and chromatography on concanavalin A-Sepharose, DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-200 and DEAE-Sephadex. Purity was established by standard and sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The isoelectric point of the protein was...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of the cytotoxicity of gingival margin retraction astringents based on aluminium chloride, aluminium sulphate, and ferric sulphate (solutions and gels) in human fibroblasts isolated from gingiva. The cytocompatibility of ten astringent-based chemical retraction agents: Gingiva Liquid, Alustin, Racestypine, Orbat sensitive, Astringedent®, Alusta...

The binding of bovine testicular hyaluronidase to AH-Sepharose (1,6-diaminohexane--Sepharose) gels substituted with (1) dermatan sulphate, (2) desulphated dermatan sulphate, (3) heparin and (4) de-N/O-sulphated, re-N-acetylated heparin was investigated. Hyaluronidase was found to bind to (1) and (3), but not (2) and (4). On the basis of these observations a preparative scheme for the purificati...

Abstract This study aimed to explore how the delivery of added phenolic acids was affected by soy protein gel matrix using INFOGEST static in vitro digestion protocol. Gels were prepared two consecutive heating steps and adding glucono– $$\delta$$ δ –lactone (GDL) as an acidifier or magnesium sulphate (MgSO $...
