Evaluation of in vitro effect of Morus rubra (red mulberry) on survival of periodontal ligament cells
(MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2008)
Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of the juice of Morus rubra fruit to serve as a temporary storage medium for the maintenance of periodontal ligament (PDL) cell viability of avulsed teeth. ...
Magnetoexciton binding energies for parabolic confinement in cylindrical quantum wire structures
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
In this work, using the effective mass approximation within variational approach, we have studied the behavior of the excitonic binding energies in a cylindrical quantum wire with a parabolic confinement under the effect ...
Investigation of pituitary functions in patients with acute meningitis: A pilot study
(SPRINGER, 2008)
Objective: Although long-term pituitary consequences of tuberculous meningitis are well documented in the literature, there have been few case reports of pituitary dysfunction after acute bacteria[ or viral meningitis. In ...
Multi-objective optimization of some process parameters of a multi-gravity separator for chromite concentration
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
The multi-gravity separator (MGS) is one of the fine particle mineral concentration machines based on gravity separation. Concentration performance, indicators such as grade and recovery, depends on appropriate selection ...
Sulfotransferase 1A1 (SULT1A1) polymorphism and susceptibility to primary brain tumors
(SPRINGER, 2008)
Purpose Sulfotransferase 1A1 is a member of sulfotransferase family that plays an important role in the biotransformation of numerous carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds through sulfation. The present study has investigated ...
Combination of different size distributions for mineral particles by applying experimentally determined apparent mean shape factor
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2008)
As is well known, the behavior of systems of fine particles is strongly dependent on the size of the individual particles, and the size effects become increasingly important as the particles become progressively smaller. ...
Analysis of vascular endothelial growth factor gene 936 C/T polymorphism in patients with familial Mediterranean fever
(WILEY, 2008)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a cytokine that promotes endothelial cell proliferation, leucocyte chemotaxis and expression of adhesion molecules and is a major mediator of vascular permeability. It has been ...
Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene [G894T] polymorphism as a possible risk factor in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage
(SPRINGER WIEN, 2008)
Background. The exact aetiology, growth and rupture of intracranial aneurysms is unclear. In this study we investigated a possible association between intracranial aneurysm rupture and polymorphism of the endothelial nitric ...
Composition and in vitro antimicrobial activity of Populus buds and poplar-type propolis
(SPRINGER, 2008)
The antibacterial activity of propolis has been widely investigated. Since reports dealing with antimicrobial activity of the origin of propolis are not available, this study was carried out aiming to analyse the in vitro ...
Alterations in spontaneous contractions of rat ileum and jejunum after peritonitis
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of peritonitis on spontaneous contractions of ileum and jejunum smooth muscles isolated from rats. Peritonitis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture in 8 rats. ...
