The stability of pilocarpine and pilocarpine-timolol eyedrop preparations available on the Argentine market was studied. A high-performance liquid chromatographic method that allows the estimation of pilocarpine in the presence of degradation products was used for the study according to the preestablished design. It was found that pilocarpine solutions are stable, while pilocarpine in association with timolol shows significant degradation.

Objective: Saliva is increasingly being recognized as a convenient and informative reservoir of proteins that could serve as indicators of various diseases. As the literature remains taciturn with regard to saliva collection methods in rodents, our objective was to provide the protocol for a comprehensive quantitative proteomic assessment of stimulated rat saliva.
Design: We applied the next-generation proteomic methodology (directDIA) to compare qualitatively and quantitatively stimulated rat saliva specimens obtained from pilocarpine alone and pilocarpine in combination with isoprenaline.
Acute depletion of complement C3 with cobra venom factor attenuates memory deficits induced by status epilepticus.

Objective: Status epilepticus (SE) significantly increases the risk for the development of unprovoked seizures, memory loss, and temporal lobe epilepsy. Our prior studies showed that SE increases complement C3 signaling in the hippocampus, which parallels memory deficits. Additionally, C3 knockout (KO) mice were protected against SE-induced memory impairments, suggesting a mechanistic role for C3 in this pathophysiology.

Reverse transcription followed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is a commonly used tool for gene expression analysis. The selection of stably expressed reference genes is required for accurate normalization. The aim of this study was to identify the optimal reference genes for RT-qPCR normalization in various brain regions of rats at different stages of the lithium-pilocarpine model of acquired epilepsy.

Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder characterized by lymphocyte infiltration of the exocrine glands. Notably, the rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients with Sjögren's syndrome is limited by the scarce availability of studies that could inform therapeutic modalities and potential challenges during clinical procedures. This case report aimed to present the oral rehabilitation of a patient with Sjögren's syndrome who received fixed partial dentures (FPDs).
