resin/necrosis

Intestinal necrosis associated with cation exchange resin (CER) is considered related to sorbitol, but it has been reported even in patients receiving CER alone. This study was performed to identify the risk factors of CER-related intestinal necrosis. The pathological database of 61 end-stage renal

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of six different dental nanocomposite materials, three conventional ones and three flowable composite resin materials, in human lymphocytes. The following materials were tested: Tetric EvoCeram, Tetric EvoFlow, Filtek

Sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) potassium binding resins increase colonic potassium excretion and are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of hyperkalemia. In 2009, the FDA recommended that sorbitol, a cathartic often given with SPS to prevent obstipation, not

The results of some short-term experiments suggest that direct capping of a vital pulp with the modern resin-based composite systems may be as effective as capping with calcium hydroxide. Total cavity etching with 10% phosphoric acid seems to be safe for the exposed pulp, but unless annulled by

Vascular changes at various stages of growth of 7,12-dimethylbenz(alpha)anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary adenocarcinomas in 22 female Sprague-Dawley rats were investigated using histology, immunohistochemistry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of corrosion casts. In the early stage of tumour

BACKGROUND The aim of the present case series was to evaluate the effects of a surgical anti-infective mechanical therapy for peri-implantitis on clinical parameters and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) levels at 12 months post-therapy. METHODS Ten patients with peri-implantitis were treated

The development of an automated, dual column assay to quantitate and recover the glycoprotein, tumor necrosis factor receptor immunoadhesin (TNFr-IgG) from monkey plasma, human serum, cell culture fluid and buffer samples is described. A combination of immunoaffinity and reversed-phase

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine active in the bodily immune response and serious inflammatory diseases. Traditional ligands targeting TNF-α focus on antibodies and receptors, which always associate with low efficacy and specificity. In the present study, two

Sodium polystyrene sulphonate (Resonium A) in sorbitol given as an enema or orally to treat hyperkalaemia has been described to induce intestinal necrosis in uraemic patients. We report a case of a premature infant with acute renal insufficiency who developed focal transmural necrosis and

BACKGROUND Since 1961 the use of Cation Exchange Resins has been the mainstream treatment for chronic hyperkalemia. For the past 25 years different kind of complications derived from its clinical use have been recognized, being the colonic necrosis the most feared and lethal of all. METHODS We

The aim of the present study was to use genetic engineering in order to establish an efficient tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α fusion protein with low toxicity, which may be used to target tumors. Four types of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated tumor targeting human recombinant TNF-α (rhTNF-α)

A method was designed for rapid and reliable demonstration of the presence of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus retrieved from 5 l water samples. Viruses together with an added carrier protein were adsorbed to a resin of an added anion exchanger. Then the resin was collected rapidly and

Recent studies have shown that endotoxin (LPS) administration to Syrian hamsters markedly increased hepatic HMG-CoA reductase activity, protein mass, and mRNA levels, but only produced a modest increase in hepatic cholesterol synthesis, suggesting that LPS may also influence other key enzymes

BACKGROUND The resin of Cola nitida is used in western Cameroon as incense for spiritual protection and during ritual ceremonies. This plant secretion has never been investigated although previous chemical and biological studies on other resins have drawn many attentions. OBJECTIVE The resin
