Published: October 2007

Silver staining is used to detect proteins after electrophoretic separation on polyacrylamide gels. It combines excellent sensitivity (in the low nanogram range) with the use of very simple and cheap equipment and chemicals. It is compatible with downstream processing, such as mass spectrometry analysis after protein digestion. The sequential phases of silver staining are protein fixation, then sensitization, then silver impregnation and finally image development. Several variants of silver staining are described here, which can be completed in a time range from 2 h to 1 d after the end of the electrophoretic separation. Once completed, the stain is stable for several weeks.

Background: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has gained popularity for its caries-arresting properties, yet its tendency to cause esthetic concerns due to black-staining limits its widespread acceptance.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the shear bond strength of Activa BioActive and Giomer restorative material with different protocols of SDF pretreatment on carious dentin.

Materials And Methods: Ninety-two extracted teeth were decoronated at the cementoenamel junction, sectioned 1 mm into dentin, mounted in acrylic resin and randomly divided into four ( = 8) control and six ( = 10) experimental groups.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) represents the most prevalent subtype, accounting for nearly 80% of all RCC cases. Recent research has shown that high expression of circular non-coding RNA (circRNA) is associated with poor prognosis in patients with renal clear cell carcinoma (ccRCC), however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Methods: After analysing self-sequenced renal cancer and paracancer circRNA sequencing data and comparing it with the GEO public database, we discovered that circASAP1 expression was significantly up-regulated in renal cancers.
