Impairment of acetylcholine-mediated endothelium-dependent relaxation in isolated parotid artery of the alloxan-induced diabetic rabbit
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2011)
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of type 1 diabetes mellitus (induced by a single intravenous injection of 100 mg kg(-1) of alloxan) on acetylcholine (ACh)-induced relaxation in isolated rabbit parotid gland ...
Expression of interleukin-33 and its receptor ST2 in periapical granulomas and radicular cysts
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2016)
BACKGROUND: Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a recently identified cytokine belonging to the IL-1 family and ligand for the IL-1 receptor-related protein ST2. IL-33/ST2 signaling plays a critical role in allergy, autoimmunity, ...
Effects of novel hydroxyapatite-based 3D biomaterials on proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2015)
The aim of this study was to examine the differential capacity of isolated dental pulp stem cells (SHED) cultured onto four different scaffold materials. The differential potential of isolated SHED was examined on the ...
The effect of sandblasting on adhesion of a dual-cured resin composite to methacrylic fiber posts: Microtensile bond strength and SEM evaluation
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2007)
Objectives: To evaluate the influence of different surface treatments on the microtensile bond strength of a dual-cured resin composite to fiber posts. Methods: Thirty-two glass methacrylate-based fiber posts (GC Corp.) ...
Intraseptal vs. periodontal ligament anaesthesia for maxillary tooth extraction: quality of local anaesthesia and haemodynamic response
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2010)
There is no data concerning the use of the intraseptal anaesthesia (ISA) for single tooth extraction. The aims of this study were to compare the clinical efficacy and haemodynamic responses of the ISA with the periodontal ...
Resonance Frequency Analysis as a Reliable Criterion for Early Loading of Sandblasted/Acid-Etched Active Surface Implants Placed by the Osteotome Sinus Floor Elevation Technique
(International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants, 2011)
Purpose: This study was intended to investigate, through resonance frequency analysis (RFA), the stability of implants placed in an early loading protocol via the osteotome sinus floor elevation technique in the posterior ...
Superplastic, Quick-Bonding Endodontic Mixtures and Their Hydration
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2015)
The aim of this study was to synthesize and characterize new superplastic endodontic mixtures (named as ALBO-MPSA) with strongly accelerated hydration rate. Two different ALBO-MPSA mixtures were prepared using combination ...
The effects of anti-hypertensives and type 2 diabetes on salivary flow and total antioxidant capacity
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2015)
ObjectiveThe present cross-sectional study aimed to determine the effect of first-line anti-hypertensive drugs (enalapril, metoprolol, and combinations of enalapril with metoprolol and/or hydrochlorothiazide) on salivary ...
The concentration of TNF-alpha correlate with number of inflammatory cells and degree of vascularization in radicular cysts
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2008)
OBJECTIVE: To correlate values of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) depending on the count of inflammatory cells with degree of vascularization in cystic fluid of radicular cysts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We investigated ...
Impairment of cardiac autonomic control in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(Informa Healthcare, London, 2010)
The aim of this study was to investigate autonomic cardiac control in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Fifty-five patients with sporadic ALS (28 female and 27 male; average age 56.00 +/- 10.34 years) were ...
