Dietary nucleotides reportedly promote functionality and repair in fibrotic liver. Liver fibrosis is characterized by an excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix components, which lead to the impairment of the hepatic function. The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of dietary nucleotides on liver fibrosis induced by thioacetamide and to elucidate the mechanism by which nucleo...

OBJECTIVES Primary teeth work as guides for the eruption of permanent dentition, contribute for the development of the jaws, chewing process, preparing food for digestion, and nutrient assimilation. Treatment of pulp necrosis in primary teeth is complex due to anatomical and physiological characteristics and high number of bacterial species present in endodontic infections. The bacterial presen...

Numerous bacteriological studies have been made clinically of the periapical region, but unfortunately the findings of the teeth have been inadequately correlated with the bacteriological results. Moreover, the emphasis has been placed on pulpless teeth or on those showing periapical roentgenological changes; studies made on normal teeth have been comparatively few. This made difficult an evalu...

Five hundred specimens of pus or pus swabs, from various wards of Mayo Hospital, were studied in the Pathology Department of King Edward Medical College, during the period ranging from 1-1-1979 to 17-1979. The incidence of various organisms along with their anti-biogram was studied. The common organisms were Straph. aureus (28.64%), E. coli (24.73%), Pseudomonas (23.69%) and B. Proteus (10.41%)...

The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes among South Asians is caused by a complex interplay between environmental and genetic factors. We aimed to examine the impact dietary factors on metabolic traits in 1062 Asian Indians. Dietary assessment was performed using validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from Transcription factor...
