Previous studies have reported that oxidative stress increases intracellular Zn

concentrations and induces cytotoxicity. However, no studies have investigated whether oxidative stress induces such changes in periodontal tissue cells. In the present study, we investigated the effect of oxidative stress on intracellular Zn

concentration in…[Read more]

Sugammadex binds progesterone with high affinity and may interfere with hormonal contraceptive effectiveness. The clinical, economical, and ethical implications of unintended pregnancy should prompt anesthesiologists to actively consider and manage this pharmacologic interaction. We surveyed anesthesiology providers at our institution about…[Read more]

Several methods for the stimulation of skin wound repair have been proposed over the last few decades. The most promising among them are gene and stem cell therapy. Our present experiments combined several approaches via the application of human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells (hUCB-MC) that were transfected with pBud-VEGF165-FGF2 plasmid…[Read more]

Osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are both debilitating diseases that cause significant morbidity and disability globally. This study aims to investigate the causal effects of varying blood levels of five minerals — iron, zinc, copper, calcium, and magnesium, on OA and RA.

We performed two-sample Mendelian randomization…[Read more]

Producing high economic benefits and high grain yields with limited environmental impacts is crucial for feeding the world’s growing population. Yet it remains challenging to improve the performance of one objective without creating unintended consequences for other objectives. This is especially difficult for smallholders navigating a diverse…[Read more]

We also used BRET methodology to assess the association of prokineticin receptors with β-arrestin isoforms. Fluorescent versions of the isoforms were transfected both in HEK293 cells and in double KO β-arrestin 1/2 mouse fibroblasts, to study receptor interaction with the reconstituted individual β-arrestins without background expression of the en…[Read more]

Although rare in pregnant women, it is critical to consider the possibility of DM and PM in patients presenting with rash, fever, weakness, and cough, and testing for myositis-specific autoantibodies is recommended.Thailand is one of the largest contributors to plastic waste in the oceans. Since mismanaged plastic waste can enter the ocean via…[Read more]

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, Thanks giving ceremony to cadaver was different this year in two ways the students were partially exposed to cadaveric dissections (for 7months) and later learned Anatomy via online classes due to lockdown (for 5months) and secondly it was not feasible to gather for the ceremony so virtual platform was preferred. The…[Read more]
