Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease resulting from an response to subgingival plaque bacteria, including Porphyromonas gingivalis. MicroRNA (miRNA) current focus in regulating the processes. In this study, miRNA expression gingival tissues of patients with periodontitis and healthy individuals compared, its role examined.Gingival were collected for microarray. THP-1 CA9-22 cells challenged P. gingivalis, was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Target genes...

Several lines of evidence suggest that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis many neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is known to regulate ER signaling pathway, but its neuronal systems terms remains largely unknown.Here, we showed rotenone-induced toxicity human neuroblastoma cell mouse primary cortical neurons was ameliorated by PTP1B...

This study presents a method for discriminating the geographical origin of dried chili peppers using femtosecond laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (fsLA-ICP-MS) and multivariate analysis, such as orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), heatmap canonical (CDA). Herein, 102 samples were analyzed content 33 elements optimized conditions 200 Hz (repetition rate), 50 μm (spot size), 90% (energy). Significant differences in count per second (cps)...

Interleukin (IL)-1β, which is elevated in oral diseases including gingivitis, stimulates epithelial cells to produce IL-8 and perpetuate inflammatory responses. This study investigates stimulatory effects of salivary IL-1β production determines if aloin inhibits IL-1β-stimulated cells.Saliva was collected from volunteers determine levels. Samples were divided into two groups: those with low high KB stimulated or saliva without IL-1 receptor agonist specific mitogen-activated protein kinase...

Oligonucleotides of adenine (A20), guanine (G20), cytosine (C20), thymine (T20), cytosine–guanine ((CG)20), and adenine–thymine ((AT)20) were investigated as model compounds for ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI). Dehydroxy uracil (dU20), U20, T20 also compared to investigate the effect minute changes in hydrophobicity oligonucleotides on IRI activity. Among considered this study, exhibited best performance IRI. In addition, degree polymerization oligothymines varied over 5, 10, 20, 30,...

Consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated food can cause severe illness when consumed by humans or livestock. Because the mycotoxin frequently occurs in cereal grains and other agricultural crops, it is crucial to develop portable devices that be used non-destructively real-time identify materials during early stages harvesting processing. In this study, an aflatoxin detection method was developed using a compact Raman device field. Data were obtained maize samples naturally contaminated with...

Graphene oxide (GO) has a large surface-to-volume ratio and hydrophobic hexagonal rings that can interact with biomolecules. Single-stranded DNA adsorbs strongly to the surface of GO via interactions. been used in optical biosensors biomedical platforms for detection DNA, proteins, small molecules. This study was designed measure adsorption double-stranded (dsDNA) onto according length, salt concentration, pH reaction. Results showed dsDNA molecules were adsorbed progressively as changed...

The increased interest in outdoor activities has prompted the demand for water-repellent fabrics that can withstand various environmental factors.

AbstractAbstractEasy, safe, and rapid quantitative methods to determine trace elements in agricultural products are required for efficient food safety management. Microwave-assisted digestion is traditionally used samples accurate results high selectivity obtained. However, this procedure involves sample preparation, mixing, extraction, which increases the time complexity. Here we present femtosecond laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (fsLA-ICP-MS) quantify arsenic,...
