First report of sweet cherry root rot caused by in China.

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) has become an economically important fruit in China. And its cultivation area has significantly expanded over the last three decades (Wang et al.

Inhibition of HMGB1 Promotes Osseointegration under Hyperglycemic Condition through Improvement of BMSC Dysfunction.

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) participates actively in oxidative stress damage and the latter relates closely to diabetic complications, including poor implant osseointegration. This article is aimed at investigating the effects of HMGB1 on dysfunction of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and impaired osseointegration under diabetic environment. , BMSCs were treated with normal glucose (NG), high glucose (HG), and HG+glycyrrhizin (HMGB1 inhibitor, HG+GL).

TEGDMA releasing in resin composites with different filler contents and its correlation with mitochondrial mediated cytotoxicity in human gingival fibroblasts.

Compositions of resin composite exhibit cytotoxicity, especially Triethylene-glycol-dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), yet the underlying mechanisms and its relationship with filler content are poorly understood. Here, specimens of five composites (VITA LC, VITA ZETA, Z350, Filtek P60, and AP-X), containing different filler size and weight, were immersed into culture medium for 72 h. After TEGDMA quantification, the resin composite eluates were used to incubate HGFs.

Effects of Naringin on Proliferation and Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells In Vitro and In Vivo.

This study is to explore the osteogenesis potential of the human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) induced by naringin in vitro and in vitro. The results confirmed that 1 μM naringin performs the best effect and a collection of bone-related genes (RUNX2, COL1A2, OPN, and OCN) had significantly higher expression levels compared to the control group. Furthermore, a typical trabecular structure was observed in vivo, surrounded by a large amount of osteoblasts.
