To understand which growth factors/cytokines can affect migration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to injured tissues, we compared the effects many (26) on activity rabbit and human MSCs using a microchemotaxis chamber. Among them, platelet-derived factor (PDGF)-BB, PDGF-AB, epidermal (EGF), HB-EGF, transforming (TGF-α), insulin (IGF-I), hepatocyte (HGF), fibroblast (FGF-2), thrombin consistently enhanced at appropriate concentrations. PDGF-BB showed greatest effect migration. Various...
summary Candidal colonization and subsequent biofilm formation on denture materials are important in the development of pathogenesis, such as stomatitis. Routine use cleansers is one most effective methods plaque control, although incompatibility soft liners cause damage to materials. The present study, Candida albicans surfaces lining materials, immersed for 180 days were studied. Seven commercially available artificially deteriorated by immersion into three days, fungal growth studied...
The purpose of this study was to explore the occlusal force distribution on dental arch in intercuspal position and evaluate relationship between clenching strength distribution. These variables were recorded using Dental Prescale System 16 healthy young adults. number tooth contacts, contact area increased linearly as increased. greatest at molar region followed by premolar anterior teeth region. proportion (occlusal each region/total force) regions On contrary, decreased findings suggest...
A new antimicrobial material, Ag-zeolite (Zeomic), was combined with a commercial tissue conditioner (GC-Soft Liner (GC); 1-5%) and, through monitoring the pH of growth medium, examined for effects on in vitro and/or acid production Candida albicans protein-free and saliva-coated specimens. The effect incorporation this agent physical property lining material also according to ISO penetration test. Comparison studies were carried out using GC, Coe Comfort (CC) or undecylenate GC (1-5%)...
summary Soft denture lining materials were immersed into solutions of cleansers for 8 h at room temperature, and distilled water the remainder 24‐h period 37 °C. Surface roughness soft was measured by contact type surface instrument. For colour stability test, in as described above 180 days. Finally, changes each material quantitatively a photometrical instrument to obtain differences between newly processed specimen specimens ( P < 0·01). An autopolymerizing silicone material, Evatouch,...
Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are potential cellular sources of therapeutic as they have the ability to proliferate and differentiate into a wide array cell types such osteoblasts, chondroblasts adipocytes. hMSCs been used clinically treat patients with graft vs. host disease, osteogenesis imperfect, or alveolar cleft, suggesting that transplantation is comparatively safe cell-based therapy. However, conventional culture medium for contains fetal bovine serum...
The adherence and dissociation of Candida albicans, C. tropicalis, Streptococcus mutans S. sanguis to six substrates including hydroxylapatite (HAP) which exhibit various hydrophobicity, was examined by the use a bioluminescent adenosine triphosphate (ATP) assay. Dissolution HAP albicans or determined spectrophotometrically o-cresolphthalein complexone. In sanguis, amount adherent cells correlated with hydrophobicity substrates. contrast, extraordinary high, although fungi also substrates,...
Lactoferrin is an antimicrobial protein present in human mucosal secretions as well saliva. As there no information on the relative fungicidal activity of and bovine lactoferrin, oral isolate Candida albicans was studied for its susceptibility to these two proteins. Exposure a concentration 20 micrograms ml-1 either HLF or BLF at 37 degrees C inactivated yeast same degree irrespective incubation time 45, 90 150 min. A similar study, using min, elicited varying anticandidal against 35...
The present study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between maximum bite force and craniofacial morphology. Sixty-four Indonesian female dental students aged 19-27 years with normal occlusion served as subjects. Dental Prescale System used measure using a pressure sensitive sheets while morphology measurements were determined from conventional lateral radiograms. antero-posterior right-left position of occlusal load centre (the OLC) measured also. Stepwise multiple regression...
The present study was a molecular analysis of the initial differentiation osteoclast precursor RAW264.7 cells on titanium specimens. cell line cultured specimens which surfaces were finished by wet grinding with 2000-, 1200-, 600-, or 180-grit waterproof abrasive paper. Total RNA extracted from in presence absence Receptor Activator NF-κB Ligand (RANKL), prior to cDNA synthesis for real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis. Titanium initially enhanced...
