Scattering recovered plasmonic resonance energy transfer (SR-PRET) was reported by blocking the plasmon resonance energy transfer (PRET) from gold nanoparticle (GNP) to the adsorbed molecules (RdBS). Due to the selective cleavage of the Si-O bond by F- ions, the quenching is switched off causing an increase in the brightness of the GNPs,detected using dark-field microscopy (DFM) were brightened...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of hemolysis and protease inhibitors on acylated ghrelin (AG) concentrations measured with a double antibody enzyme immunometric assay that uses an acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-Fab' conjugate. DESIGN AND METHODS Samples were hemolysed or treated with PHMB (p-hydroxymercuribenzoate), PMSF (phenylmethanesulfonylfluoride) or AEBSF (4-(2-Aminoethyl) benzenesulf...

besides human dental and skeletal fluorosis, drinking water above permissible levels of fluoride is known to cause a wide range of adverse health effects. in this study, the adsorption of fluoride from aqueous solution onto pretreated zeolite has been studied by using batch test. the large surface area of natural zeolite (i. e., clinoptilolite from miyaneh region, iran) was utilized to create a...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the bioavailability of fluoride after topical application of a dual-fluoride varnish commercially available in Brazil, when compared to Duraphat. MATERIAL AND METHODS The urinary fluoride output was evaluated in seven 5-year-old children after application of the fluoride varnishes, in two different phases. In the first phase (I), children received topical applic...

AIM To evaluate chemically the effects of diode laser on fluoride uptake before and after laser irradiation of enamel surfaces. METHODS Crowns of 20 sound human teeth were halved and a 3 x 3 mm acid-resistant varnish uncovered window left for: A) no treatment; B) fluoride (Elmex gel); C) diode (fluoride + diode laser); D) diode (diode laser + fluoride). The dental surfaces were analysed using...
