A study on the impact of gargling with compound Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi on oral health and microflora changes in fixed orthodontic patients: An experimental study.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi gargle on oral health and changes in oral bacteria among orthodontic patients.

Methods: About 110 cases of oral fixed orthodontic patients were screened from January 2020 to June 2022 at Taizhou Hospital in Zhejiang Province. They were randomly divided into the experimental group (receiving compound S.

Combined Transcriptome and Metabolome Analysis of Laur. Peel Treated With UV-C Reveals the Involvement of Key Metabolic Pathways.

An increasing attention is being given to treat fruits with ultraviolet C (UV-C) irradiation to extend shelf-life, senescence, and protection from different diseases during storage. However, the detailed understanding of the pathways and key changes in gene expression and metabolite accumulation related to UV-C treatments are yet to be explored. This study is a first attempt to understand such changes in banana peel irradiated with UV-C.

Reversible splenial lesion syndrome in children: Retrospective study and summary of case series.

Objective: To describe clinical features of reversible splenial lesion syndrome (RESLES) in children.

Methods: Retrospectively analyzed clinical features of RESLES in children and compared differences between severe and non-severe group, classified by clinical global impression-scale; summarized clinical features of children with mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) from case series.

Results: 16 episodes of RESLES occurring in 15 Chinese children were analyzed, with 13 episodes having MERS and 3 episodes with epilepsy.

Enhanced attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of human gingival fibroblasts on titanium surface modified with biomolecules.

Surface modification of dental implants with biomolecules is of particularly interest recently. To mimic the structure and function of native extracellular matrix (ECM), a derivative of hyaluronic acid (HA), HA-GRGDSP, was synthesized, Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing collagen (Col)/HA multilayer polyelectrolyte films (MPFs) coating was fabricated on titanium (Ti) through alternate deposition of Col and HA-GRGDSP with 4.5 assembly cycles; moreover, bioactive molecule, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), was also incorporated into such coating.

[Evolution and prognosis of the acute flaccid paralysis associated with enterovirus 71 infection evaluated through a clinical and magnetic resonance imaging follow-up study].

Objective: To explore the development and prognosis of the acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) associated with enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection through clinical follow-up study for clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features based on the research progress of virology and pathology.

Method: Sixteen children with HFMD associated with AFP in hospital from May 1, 2011 to August 31, 2011 were investigated and the patients received intensive rehabilitation training. The 16 cases were divided into two groups (the recovery or the sequela) by if the muscle strength recovered to level 4 after intensive rehabilitation.

Effect of heat treatment on H2O2/HCl etched pure titanium dental implant: an in vitro study.

Background: Surface chemistry of dental implant plays an important role in osseointegration. Heat treatment might alter surface chemistry and result in different biological response. The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of heat treatment of H2O2/HCl-treated Ti implants in cell attachment, proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation.

The optimal dose of recombinant human osteogenic protein-1 enhances differentiation of mouse osteoblast-like cells: an in vitro study.

Objective: There is no certain conclusion on the effect of recombinant human Osteogenic Protein-1 (OP-1, BMP-7) on the proliferation of the osteoblast-like cell line, MC3T3-E1. Furthermore, the optimal dose of rhOP-1 on cell differentiation still needs to be elucidated. This investigation aims to delineate the biofunctional characteristics of rhOP-1 in inducing osteoblastogenesis of MC3T3-E1 through in vitro time-course and dose-response studies.

H2O2/HCl and heat-treated Ti-6Al-4V stimulates pre-osteoblast proliferation and differentiation.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the bioactivity of chemical treatment of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) in vitro. Smooth-surface discs of Ti-6Al-4V were used in this study. Sandblasted, dual acid-etched and H(2)O(2)/HCl heat-treated discs were set as test group, and sandblasted, dual acid-etched discs as control group.

Erratum: Poly[aqua-(μ(2)-oxalato)(4-oxidopyri-din-ium)erbium(II)]. Corrigendum.

The chemical name in the title, the formula and the scheme of the paper by Gu, Hao, Song, Lin & Ma [Acta Cryst. (2008), E64, m649-m650] are corrected.[This corrects the article DOI: 10.

Poly[aqua-(μ(2)-oxalato)(4-oxidopyri-din-ium)erbium(II)].

The title complex, [Er(C(5)H(5)NO)(C(2)O(4))(H(2)O)](n), is a new erbium polymer based on oxalate and 4-oxidopyridinium ligands. The Er(II) center is coordinated by six O atoms from three oxalate ligands, one O atom from a 4-oxidopyridinium ligand and one water mol-ecule, and displays a distorted square-anti-prismatic coordination geometry. The oxalate ligands are both chelating and bridging, and link Er(II) ions, forming Er-oxalate layers in which the attached water and 4-oxidopyridinium units point alternately up and down.
