Serum alkaline phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes, and urinary hydroxyproline excretion were studied in 20 young adult sickle cell patients and 58 matching normal controls. Total alkaline phosphatase was significantly higher in the sickle cell patients than in controls. Heat inactivation test and isoenzyme electrophoresis indicated that bone is the predominant isoenzyme in patients. Hydroxyproline excretion was significantly higher in the sickle cell patients than in controls. Serum total alkaline phosphatase correlated well with urinary hydroxyproline excretion in sickle cell patients (r = 0.73). Both alkaline phosphatase and hydroxyproline increased with age in the sickle cell patients. This study suggests that delayed growth and/or bone destruction may contribute to the elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase and urinary hydroxyproline.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate the cytotoxicity, biocompatibility, and osteogenic effect of EndoSequence BCSealer HiFlow (BCH) and Bio-C Sealer (BCS) in osteosarcoma cells SAOS-2 compared with AH Plus Jet.
Materials And Methods: For cytotoxicity analysis, the [3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazole)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide-MTT; Sigma/Aldrich] method was used after 24, 48, and 72 hours. For cellular bioactivity, alkaline phosphatase enzyme (ALP) was evaluated after 7 and 14 days.

Objective: Regenerative periodontal surgical approaches require scaffolds in a form that can fill narrow and irregular defects. Each scaffold must be specially designed to conform to the shape of the specific defect. The aim of this study was to fabricate nanohydroxyapatite chitosan-gelatin (nHA/KG) pastes with different composition percentages and to analyze the differences in physical, chemical, and biological characteristics in response to periodontal tissue regeneration .

Orthodontics promotes tooth movement and periodontal reconstruction by regulating osteogenic differentiation and osteoclast resorption. This study aimed to investigate the effect of orthodontic force during orthodontics on osteogenesis of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and the underlying mechanism. Cyclic mechanical stress was applied on PDLSCs, and osteogenic differentiation was analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunoblotting, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, and ALP activity determination.

Traditional biological detection methods rely on signal amplification strategies such as enzymatic catalysis or nucleic acid amplification. However, their efficiency decreases in low-temperature environments, compromising their detection sensitivity. To break the loss of enzyme catalytic activity at low temperatures, research on cold-adaptive nanozymes has attracted much attention.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and zearalenone (ZEN) are the most prevalent mycotoxins in production, posing a serious threat to human and animal health. Therefore, it is very urgent to find a safe and efficient method for the biodegradation of these mycotoxins. Our previous study demonstrated that Bacillus subtilis ZJ-2019-1 moderately degrades both mycotoxins in vitro and ZEN in female gilts.
