Background Octopus vulgaris is a highly valuable species of great commercial interest and excellent candidate for aquaculture diversification; however, the octopus' well-being impaired by pathogens, which gastrointestinal coccidian parasite Aggregata octopiana one most important. The knowledge molecular mechanisms immune response in cephalopods, especially octopus scarce. transcriptome hemocytes O. was de novo sequenced using high-throughput paired-end Illumina technology to identify genes...
Numerous pieces of evidence have supported the therapeutic potential photobiomodulation (PBM) to modulate bone remodeling on mechanically stimulated teeth, proving PBM's ability be used as a coadjuvant treatment accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). However, there are still uncertainty and discourse around optimal PBM protocols, which hampers its consolidated clinical applicability. Given differential expression metabolic patterns exhibited in tension compression sides orthodontically...
Among the adjunctive procedures to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), ultrasound (US) is a nonsurgical form of mechanical stimulus that has been explored as an alternative currently available treatments. This study aimed clarify role US in OTM by exploring different stimulation parameters and their effects on biological responses cells involved OTM. Human fetal osteoblasts periodontal ligament fibroblasts cell lines were stimulated with at 1.0 1.5 MHz central frequencies power...
Summary Using high‐resolution genomic microarray analysis, a distinct profile was defined in 114 samples from patients with splenic marginal zone lymphoma ( SMZL ). Deletion or uniparental disomy of chromosome 7q were detected 42 (37%) s but only nine 170 (5%) mature B ‐cell lymphomas P < 0·00001). The presence unmutated IGHV , complexity, 17p13‐ TP 53 deletion and 8q‐ MYC gain, not deletion, correlated shorter overall survival patients. Mapping studies narrowed down commonly deleted...
Malaria is one of the leading causes death in underdeveloped regions. Thus, development rapid, efficient, and competitive diagnostic techniques essential. This work reports a study deformability velocity assessment healthy artificially impaired red blood cells (RBCs), with purpose potentially mimicking malaria effects, narrow polydimethylsiloxane microchannels. To obtain RBCs, their properties were modified by adding, to different concentrations glucose, glutaraldehyde, or diamide, order...
Abstract Objectives The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the light transmission through five different resin-matrix composites regarding inorganic filler content. Methods Resin-matrix composite disc-shaped specimens were prepared on glass molds. Three traditional contained fillers at 74, 80, and 89 wt. % while two flowable revealed 60 62.5 fillers. Light assessed using a spectrophotometer with an integrated monochromator before after curing for 10, 20, or 40s. Elastic modulus...
