Reduced sulfation of muc5b is linked to xerostomia in patients with Sjogren syndrome
(CIENCIAS, 2008)
Objectives: MUC5B contains sulfated and sialylated oligosaccharides that sequester water required for moisturising the oral mucosa. Xerostomia, in patients with Sjogren syndrome, is generally associated with reduced ...
Objetivos moleculares para diseñar nuevos fármacos para el tratamiento de la diabetes tipo 2 y la obesidad
(CIENCIAS, 2008)
Current strategies to treat type 2 diabetes (DMT2) include reducing insulin resistance using glitazones, supplementing with exogenous insulin, increasing endogenous insulin production with sulfonylureas and meglitinides, ...
Gelatinolytic activity in gingival crevicular fluid from teeth with periapical lesions
(CIENCIAS, 2008)
Objective. Many matrix metalloproteinases ( MMPs) have been associated with periodontal tissue destruction during chronic and apical periodontitis. The aim of this study was to determine gelatinolytic activity in gingival ...
Humic acids as molecular assemblers in the surface-enhanced Raman scattering detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(CIENCIAS, 2008)
A humic acid (HA) extracted from lignite was successfully used in surface-enhanced Raman scattering SERS experiments as molecular occlusion assembler deposited onto a Ag colloidal surface to detect the polycyclic aromatic ...
Vacuum phenomenon in the temporomandibular joint: a clinical, computed tomography and magnetic resonance case report
(CIENCIAS, 2008)
A 28-year-old woman presented with a history of clicking and mandibular clenching. She was studied clinically and with axial and coronal CT. The patient was going through a tense emotional period and reported tightening ...
Spectral intensities in trivalent lanthanide systems: Applications to the Cs2NaDyCl6 and Cs2NaHoCl6 crystals
(, 2008-08-11)
The main goal of this research work is to rationalize the rich vibronic structure of lanthanide type crystals, such as Cs2NaDyCl6 and Cs2NaHoCl6, in the space group Fm3m(Oh5). These systems are known to be highly relativistic ...
