Basal chordae surgical section has been shown to be effective in reducing ischaemic mitral regurgitation (IMR). Achieving this section by non-invasive mean can considerably decrease the morbidity of this intervention on already infarcted... more
A protocol for in vitro mass multiplication of plants through seedling (shoot) cultures was established for Ophiorrhiza mungo. Maximum number of adventitious shoots per shoot culture (10.4 +/- 1.72) was initiated on MS solid medium... more
In the isolated bronchial preparation of the guinea-pig, nicotine induced a contraction but not a relaxation. The contractile response of the bronchial preparation to nicotine was inhibited by hexamethonium and d-tubocurarine but not... more
The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial effect of an experimental adhesive system containing chitosan (0.2% and 0.5%) against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus casei. Twenty-four extracted human third molars were... more
A new strategy for the skin delivery of bioactive compounds has been developed, using enzymes involved in the maintenance of the epidermal barrier function and the enzymatic transformation of corresponding precursors. This new strategy... more
Doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) microemulsions were produced using a shirasu-porous-glass (SPG) membrane emulsification technique. Soybean oil was used as the oil phase; polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) or... more
1. The desensitization of the cholinergic receptor has been investigated at the frog neuromuscular junction. The agonist was either perfused or applied by ionophoresis.2. In all situations, desensitization develops in two phases: a fast... more
The main issue to be faced to get size estimates of 3D modification of the dental canal after endodontic treatment is the co-registration of the image stacks obtained through micro computed tomography (micro-CT) scans before and after... more
The effects of laminin isoforms on platelet aggregation were compared and characterized in platelet rich plasma (PRP) obtained from 26 healthy human volunteers. In approximately 38% of the individuals tested, human laminin produced a... more
