The role of liquid resin in orthodontic bonding : toxicological, bond strength and clinical aspects
(2000-01-07)
Dental acrylic composites are rarely fully polymerized in situ. Their unpolymerized components are related to undesirable occupational exposure to dental, particularly orthodontic, personnel. The aim of this study was to ...
Reproductive aspects of the protein C system in women
(2001-03-09)
ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), pregnancy as well as to determine a possible association between hypercoagulation and recurrent abortions.
Methods: Blood samples were drawn during; menstrual cycle days 1-3, 6-8, 13-14 and 20-24; during COH, when down...
Population-based analysis of the HLA associated risk for IDDM
(1995-11-03)
haplotypes were investigated in patient and control families.
Patients and controls from three population-based case-control studies were HLA typed for DQA1, DQB1 and DRB. A comparison of allele frequencies between patients and controls showed that two...
Immune mechanisms in atherosclerosis
(2001-02-23)
-alpha and EL-1beta have been implicated in atherogenesis. We have investigated these humoral factors in disorders prone to atherosclerotic vascular damage such as type 1 diabetes mellitus, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis and in individuals with high LDL...
Modulation of AMPA glutamate receptor functions in primary neuronal cultures
(1999-03-19)
of kainate-induced [Ca2+]i probably due to activation of native kainate receptors.
Further we also characterised AM PA receptor-induced activator protein (AP- 1 ) transcri ption factor DNA binding. Stimulation of AMPA receptors induced AP-1 transcription...
The effect of alpha-HGA on HIV-1 replication
(2009-03-13)
Different classes of anti HIV-1 drugs are now available for treatment of HIV-1 infection. Although improved, these drugs show adverse effects and their long-term efficiency is severely hampered by the emergence of resistant viruses. Therefore, less...
Extra- and intracellular electronic conductance of signals and its significance for synaptic plasticity
(2008-08-08)
Electrical signals play a pivotal role in the normal function of most if
not all organisms. Understanding the electrophysiological principles that
govern electrical signaling is essential for insights into normal- ...
Structural studies of lipopolysaccharides expressed by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae strains
(2012-08-31)
The present thesis describes lipopolysaccharide (LPS) structures expressed by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae strains. LPS is a major surface component of Gram-negative bacteria. Structural ...
Mitochondria targeting and its consequences for cell death in neuroblastoma
(2018-12-14)
Mitochondria are one of the central regulators of several physiological and pathological processes. For instance, homeostatic glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation are all regulated by mitochondria. ...
Preparing midwives as a human resource for maternal health : pre-service education and scope of practice in Gujarat, India
(2014-09-08)
One key strategy to achieve reduction in maternal and neonatal mortality is to scale up the availability of
skilled birth attendants (SBAs). The staff nurses (i.e., registered nurse and midwives) are skilled birth
attendants ...
