PURPOSE To estimate the overall effect of 1000 ppm F relative to 250 ppm F toothpaste. METHODS Experimental caries increment studies from the dental literature, which compared 1000 ppm with 250 ppm fluoride toothpastes, were summarized using meta-analytic methods. RESULTS The overall caries reduction of 1000 ppm F relative to 250 ppm F paste was estimated to be 0.142 (95%-CL: 0.074-0.210) w...

Ampicillin ("Penbritin") has been shown to be active against the gonococcus both when used by mouth (Willcox, 1963, 1964; Alergant, 1963) and in vitro (Odegaard, 1962). Little or no published data are so far available concerning the use of the injectable sodium salt of ampicillin, which is supplied in vials in the form of a white powder in amounts equivalent to 250 or 500 mg. ampicillin. It is ...

An inhalation teratology study was conducted in rats at 10, 50 and 250 ppm ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGEE) and in rabbits at 10, 50 and 175 ppm EGEE. This study was designed to supplement a study conducted for NIOSH which showed teratogenic effects in rats at 200 ppm EGEE and in rabbits at about 160 ppm EE. In this study, EGEE was found not to cause teratogenic effects at concentrations ...

Ten cadmium resistant marine bacterial isolates were isolated from seawater and sediments samples of Hurghada harbour on a seawater nutrient agar medium amended by 25 ppm of cadmium and tested for their resistance to higher cadmium concentrations (up to 200 ppm). The most resistant isolate which was able to grow at 150 ppm was identified on the basis of its morphological, physiological and bioc...

The ampicillin levels in sputum, serum, and saliva from 40 patients receiving a dose of 250 mg., 26 patients receiving a dose of 500 mg., and 11 patients receiving a dose of I g. were estimated. The ampicillin was given orally four times daily. The 1-2 hour and 2-3 hour sputum levels were similar in individual patients. There was no difference in the range or mean sputum or saliva levels betwee...

Studies on pivampicillin hydrochloride and ampicillin trihydrate, administered in capsules to healthy volunteers, indicated that pivampicillin was absorbed more efficiently from the gastrointestinal tract than ampicillin. Average peak concentrations of ampicillin in the serum after doses equimolar to 250 mg of ampicillin were 6.8 mug/ml at 56 min with pivampicillin and 1.96 mug/ml at 1 h 24 min...

A 2 x 6 factorial experiment with Cu added at 5 or 250 ppm and Fe added at 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, or 300 ppm was conducted using 480 crossbred weanling pigs with an average initial weight of 7.0 kg. The basal corn-soybean meal-whey diet contained 4 ppm Cu, 169 ppm Fe, and 199 ppm Zn. Pigs were allotted by weight, sex, and litter outcome group and had ad libitum access to feed and water during ...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the responses to carbadox and Cu additions in the postweaning diet of swine. The first trial contained 470 pigs in five replicates in a 2 x 5 factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design. Weanling pigs 4-wk of age were fed diets containing 0 or 55 ppm carbadox and 0, 125, 250, 375 or 500 ppm Cu for a 5-wk period. Copper levels of 125 and...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the relevance of cations in different fluoride compounds for their effectiveness as anti-erosive agents. Human enamel samples underwent a de- and re-mineralisation procedure for 10 days. Erosive demineralisation was performed with 0.05 M citric acid (pH 2.3) 6 x 2 min daily followed by immersion in the test solution 6 x 2 min each. Test solutions were: SnCl2...
