Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a reconstructive procedure of alveolar ridge using membranes. This procedure is indicated when there is no sufficient bone for implantation, or in the case of optimal implant installation for esthetic or functional needs. GBR can be performed before implant placement, when there is not enough bone for initial stability of implants and less predictable outcomes ...

BACKGROUND Germinated brown rice (GBR) is a novel functional food that is high in fiber and bioactive compounds with health-promoting properties. This study aims to evaluate anti-obesity effects of GBR in obese rats fed high-fat diet (HFD). METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed HFD for 8 weeks to induce obesity. The rats were then administrated with GBR where the source of dietary carbohy...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether the adjunctive use of a bone substitute at immediate single implants placed in fresh extraction sockets with a residual buccal bone-to-implant gap of at least 1 mm could improve the aesthetic outcome of guided bone regeneration (GBR). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty patients requiring bone augmentation at a single immediate postextractive implant to improve the aes...

This study was aimed to compare the production time (germination and drying process) quality of germinated brown rice (GBR) obtained from water spraying-based GBR (Sprayed-GBR) system soaking-based (Soaked-GBR) system. The results showed that Sprayed-GBR, in germination process, required 2.5 h for spraying a step obtain paddy with moisture content 30% (w.b.) 26 an incubation 90% percentage. led...

An enzyme immunoassay that uses easily regenerated reagents was developed and evaluated for the ability to detect group B rotaviruses (GBR) in fecal specimens. Homologous rat GBR and heterologous porcine and bovine GBR were detected by this immunoassay, although a human GBR isolate was not. This immunoassay should prove useful in studies of GBR infections of animals.

The binding of the diphenyl-substituted piperazine derivative, [3H]GBR-12935, a selective dopamine uptake inhibitor, to the post-mortem human putamen was studied. Inhibition curves by dopamine uptake inhibitors suggested the existence of two populations of [3H]GBR-12935 binding sites: one is potently inhibited by mazindol and/or nomifensine, and the second binding site is benztropine- and/or GB...

Chemoprevention has become an important area in cancer research due to the failure of current therapeutic modalities. Epidemiological and preclinical studies have demonstrated that nutrition plays a vital role in the etiology of cancer. This study was conducted to determine the chemopreventive effects of germinated brown rice (GBR) in rats induced with colon cancer. GBR is brown rice that has b...

The dopamine (DA) transporter is thought to be the primary mediator of reinforcing effects of cocaine. In the present study, an intravenous drug self-administration procedure, in vitro autoradiography, and HPLC methods were used to investigate possible differences in reinforcing and neuroadaptive responses to cocaine versus GBR-12909, a selective inhibitor of the DA transporter with a postulate...
