Article Synopsis
- A recently discovered peptide sequence, SVVYGLR, adjacent to the RGD sequence in osteopontin, indicates a role in osteo-immune interactions.
- This study examined the effects of a synthetic SVVYGLR peptide on human mesenchymal stem cells and osteoclasts, finding that it enhanced cell adhesion and growth while inhibiting osteoclast formation.
- In a rat model, the peptide led to reduced osteoclast numbers and improved bone regeneration in graft sites compared to a control, showcasing its potential for bone tissue regeneration applications.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the persistent presence of microorganisms on patient-derived dental impressions and gypsum casts, while highlighting important human pathogens such as Candida, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Materials And Methods: The practices and opinions regarding cross-infection control from 59 general dentists in Japan were obtained via a questionnaire. Alginate impressions were made from 56 patients.
