Silver salts and nanosilver (NS) are the common antimicrobial used in the treatment of chronic wounds, so they are important to assess their dermal toxicity. Therefore, in this study, the possible dermal toxicity of NS particles and silver nitrate (AgNO3), was tested by determining the serum level of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) and study on of mouse skin tissue. In this stu...

statement of problem: microorganisms are essential for the development of periradicular diseases and are one of the major causative factors associated with endodontic treatment failures. different instruments and preparation techniques have been developed in endodontics to eliminate or reduce intracanal bacteria. purpose: the aim of this study was to compare the amount of remaining e. faecalis ...

the microfiltration 0.2 µm cellulose acetate (ca) membrane was modified by embedding antibacterial silver nano-particles in the membrane pores. this novel technique was developed to enhance the capability of the microfiltration membrane for removing microorganism including bacteria. the prepared membrane was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (sem), energy-dispersive x-ray spectro...

introduction: elimination of pathological microflora of root canal systems is a major goal in endodontic treatment. this study aimed to compare the antimicrobial efficacy of calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medication and antibacterial photodynamic therapy (apdt) against enterococcus faecalis and candida albicans in teeth with periapical (pa) lesions. methods: this in vivo study was conducted...

Neutrino masses are usually described by adding to the Standard Model some SU(2)singlet fermions that have the Yukawa couplings, as well as some Majorana mass terms. The number of such fields and the scales of their Majorana masses are not known. Several independent observations point to the possibility that some of these singlets may have masses well below the electroweak scale. A sterile neut...

Imaging of infection and inflammation is an important issue in nuclear medicine as it may have relevant implication for the management of patients with infections or inflammatory diseases. In this regard the synthesis of human polyclonal immunoglobuline G (IgG) radiolabeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) by a novel method, via a nicotinamide hydrazine derivative, was performed. The biologica...

BACKGROUND Enterococcus faecalis is a microorganism commonly detected in asymptomatic, persistent endodontic infections. Triple antibiotic paste has stood the test of time as a proven antibiotic combination against E. Faecalis. However, problems with this include staining of teeth and standardization of the preparation. Thus, the search for better alternatives and better preparation techniques ...

Objective: Radiopharmacy is a special field of pharmacy that examines, develops, conducts quality controls, deals with distribution and application pharmaceutical forms called radiopharmaceuticals are used for diagnostic therapeutic purposes, carrying radioactive properties together. Radiopharmaceuticals contain radionuclides. This the most important difference distinguishes from other conventi...
