the strains. In S.gordonii these proteases are known to play a role in protein transportion and protection of bacteria from bacteriocins. Protease HMPREF0389_00122 is present in the extracellular fraction of D-62D srain and this is known to have collagen peptidase function. This protease might be responsible for the damage of the connective tissue which leads to tissue destruction in periodontitis. So this could be important in f.alocis pathogenesis. Proteins that play an important role in the…

1. INTRODUCTION The French paradox describes the lowered incidences of coronary heart diseases (CHD) in French people with respect to their diet which consists of high amounts of saturated fats. It is one of the many paradoxes with examples such as the Israeli paradox, which shows that although having a diet low in saturated fats, the Israeli Jews have increased incidences of CHD . This paradoxical event caused elevated interest in the causative factor that can seemingly lower the incidences of…

Shea butter vs. Coconut oil for Dry Skin When you do a simple Google search with the term “dry skin care,” you will be surprised by just how much advice you will get. The internet is filled with information on dry skin care. However, the recurring theme is the use of Shea butter and Coconut oil. On this article, I will attempt to decipher through all that information by comparing and contrasting between Shea butter vs. Coconut oil with the aim of establishing which the BEST is when it comes to…

FTIR Spectroscopic Study on Inner Membrane of Egg Shell of Chicken Gallus gallus domesticus Abstract: The paper presents FTIR analysis of inner membrane of eggshell of chicken Gallus gallus domesticus. Fresh samples of egg shells are cleaned; dried and inner membrane of the shell is separated carefully for FTIR analysis. FTIR spectrum reveals a series of bands related to fats and proteins. Calcium carbonate is the major constituent (about 90%) of the shell, but it is absent in the inner shell…

maintain the volume of alveolar ridge, strengthening the jaw bone and to give a good support to adjacent teeth, stable bone regeneration is required. There are various methods for the management of cystic cavity. Schulte described a method where collagen sponge soaked with antibiotics is placed in the cavity which stabilizes and controls the contraction of the blood clot. Later this method was modified by using centrifuged blood. The cavity can be filled with autogenous bone as graft material.…

Effect of prednisone treatment for 30 and 90 days on bone metabolism in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats. J Bone Miner Metab. 2017 Nov 9. doi: 10.1007/s00774-017-0880-1. [Epub ahead of print] PubMed PMID: 29124434. 4. Anastrozole (aromatase inhibitors) Indication: Anastrozole is used as a first-line therapy for postmenopausal…

Current studies have found that taking omeprazole (prilosec) in combination with paclitaxel, will increase the effectiveness of paclitaxel as an anti-cancer agent. Paclitaxel is an effective form of cancer therapy that treats various kinds of cancer from ovarian to lung cancer. Paclitaxel works by promoting the polymerization of microtubules and prevents depolymerization to have a cytotoxic affect on cells (DeAngelis LM, et al., 1995). Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used clinically for…

lumen, also known as the tunica interna. Smooth muscle is a layer of the arteries that can cope with the stretching the pulses of the blood and contracts and helps to keep the blood moving along. Finally, connective tissue consists mainly of tough collagen fibres, which…

the bone. However, binding of PTH to osteoblast inhibiting it resulting in osteoclast cells being indirectly stimulated through the inhibition of bone building. The parathyroid hormone will act upon collagenase enzymes to increase the breakdown of collagen within the bone, while increasing the activity to assist the erosion of bone. This process results in bone reabsorption taking place and an increase of calcium levels in the blood. The parathyroid hormone also increases the production with the…
