As a highly vascularized tissue, the placenta mediates gas and solute exchange between maternal and fetal circulations. In the human placenta, the interface with maternal blood is a unique epithelial structure known as the syncytiotrophoblast. Previously we developed a colloidal-silica based method to generate highly enriched preparations of the apical plasma membrane of the syncytiotrophoblast. Using similar preparations, a proteomics assessment of this important sub-proteome has identified 340 proteins as part of this apical membrane fraction. The expression of 38 of these proteins was previously unknown in the human placental syncytiotrophoblast. Together with previous studies, the current proteomic database expands our knowledge of the proteome of the syncytiotrophoblast apical plasma membrane from normal placentas to include more than 500 proteins. This database is a valuable resource for future comparisons to diseased placentas. Additionally, this data set provides a basis for further experimental studies of placenta and trophoblast function.

The kidney proximal tubule reabsorbs and degrades filtered plasma proteins to reclaim valuable nutrients and maintain body homeostasis. Defects in this process result in proteinuria, one of the most frequently used biomarkers of kidney disease. Filtered proteins enter proximal tubules via receptor-mediated endocytosis and are processed within a highly developed apical endo-lysosomal system (ELS).

Systemic bile acid homeostasis plays an important role in human health. In this study, a physiologically based kinetic (PBK) model that includes microbial bile acid deconjugation and intestinal bile acid reuptake via the apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) was applied to predict the systemic plasma bile acid concentrations in human upon oral treatment with the antibiotic tobramycin. Tobramycin was previously shown to inhibit intestinal deconjugation and reuptake of bile acids and to affect bile acid homeostasis upon oral exposure of rats.

In euryhaline teleosts, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in seawater (SW)-type chloride cells facilitates apical Cl secretion for SW adaptation, while alternative Cl excretion pathways remain understudied. This study investigates the role of the calcium-activated chloride channel, Anoctamin 1 (ANO1), in the gills of the euryhaline Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) under hyperosmolality and cortisol (CORT) influence. Acclimation to artificial SW, NaCl, mannitol, or glucose significantly upregulated ANO1 and CFTR mRNA expression in gills, unlike urea treatment.

Statement Of The Problem: The creation of a proper seal of the root canal with canal-filling materials, such as gutta-percha and sealer, is one of the essential factors in the success of root canal treatment. In addition, the penetration depth of the sealer is one of the influential factors in creating a proper seal, which improves the sealing ability of the canal and the burial of microorganisms.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of cold atmospheric plasma on the depth of tubular penetration of two types of resin sealer: AH26 and Beta RCS sealers.
