sweet potato/dental caries

Retronasal and oral-cavity-only identifications of six natural extract odorants, presented in air-phase, were compared in an initial experiment. Prior to identification testing, the 21 participants were given experience with air-phase presentations, and with the odorants and their correct

From 1995 to 2002, a case-control study on food groups and risk of cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx was conducted in Montevideo, Uruguay. Two hundred thirty cases were frequency-matched to 460 controls on age, residence, and urban/rural status. The study was restricted to men. The relationship

China is the biggest sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) producer in the world and its total production is about 100 million tons per year. Surveys for diseases of sweet potato in storage were conducted from 2011 to 2013 in Hebei Province, China. The storage roots from cultivars such as Yizi 138

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the marginal integrity of an alkasite restoration in comparison to that of a conventional composite resin restoration following intra-coronal bleaching with 30% hydrogen peroxide (HP) containing sweet potato extract (SPE) as an additive. Access

Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is an immunologically mediated inflammatory disease characterized by granulomatous vasculitis of the upper and lower aerodigestive tracts together with glomerulonephritis. We are reporting a rare case of gingival WG that presented with erythematous and painful

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the correlations between instrument measurements and sensory attributes of strawberry jam. For this purpose, a series of low sugar strawberry jams were prepared by using different contents of pectin from different sources, which were evaluated

Strawberry gingivitis is a rare oral manifestation of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA, formerly known as Wegener's granulomatosis). It manifests as a red-purple hyperplastic gingivitis that frequently goes unrecognized as a disease-specific symptom, especially if it is the primary and only

We have investigated the microscopic dynamics of strawberry and red onion by means of broadband dielectric spectroscopy. In contrast to most of the previous experiments on carbohydrate-rich biological materials, which have mainly considered the more global dynamics of the "biological matrix," we are

Rotational spectra of a chiral epoxy ester, methyl glycidate, were measured using a chirped-pulse and a cavity-based Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. The two lowest energy conformers where the epoxy oxygen and the ester oxygen atoms are in the syn and anti relative orientation with respect

OBJECTIVE To evaluate in vitro the erosive effects of beverages in the presence or absence of caries simulation (acidogenic challenge) on the microhardness of primary enamel. METHODS Forty human primary teeth were submitted to the erosive effects: 3 × 20-min-long daily immersion in fresh orange

The strawberry Fra a proteins belong to the pathogenesis-related PR-10 protein family and share a common fold with the Bet v 1 major pollen allergen and the START/PYR/PYL proteins, which are characterized by the presence of a central cavity and are often involved in the binding of a variety of

The development of strawberry aroma aftersmell after consumption in aqueous and milk model systems was followed. A recently developed sensory approach was used to seize the qualitative, quantitative, and temporal aspects of aroma profile development. The results obtained from sensory evaluation were

Pathogenesis-related 10 (PR-10) proteins are involved in many aspects of plant biology but their molecular function is still unclear. They are related by sequence and structural homology to mammalian lipid transport and plant abscisic acid receptor proteins and are predicted to have cavities for

The first binary cell fate decision occurs at the morula stage and gives rise to two distinct types of cells that constitute the trophectoderm (TE) and inner cell mass (ICM). The cell fate determinant, Cdx2, is induced in TE cells and plays an essential role in their differentiation and maintenance.
