Background:Chitosan and Calcium are one of the natural polymeric materials obtained from the exoskeleton of Xylotrupes gideon through demineralization, deproteinization and deacetylation processes. Nano chitosan and calcium can inhibit the demineralization process, which is caused by the consumption of acetic acid. This study aims to determine the effect of nano chitosan pretreatment and ...

Background: Beneficial effects of vitamins and dietary supplements in the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome (MS) are controversial. This study aims to evaluate the association between dietary supplements intake and MS. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 9539 people aged 35-70 years who participated in the recruitment phase of Shahedieh Cohort Study i...

This study was conducted to compare ileal digestibility of calcium, dry matter and ash, growth performance, gut characteristics, bone parameters and retention of calcium in broiler chickens fed diets containing different calcium sources. A total of 96 commercial Ross 308 broiler chickens were allocated to three experimental diets. The experimental diets included a diet containing inorganic calc...

Introduction: The neurotoxic effects of aluminum exposure during the critical period of neurodevelopment have been well documented. This study investigated the known protective effects of calcium supplementation on the cerebellum of juvenile Wistar rats following aluminum-induced neurotoxicity during lactation. Methods: Four groups of juvenile rats were exposed via lactation to distilled water...

abstract the availability of heavy metals in the soil is related to their partitioning between solution and solid phases and expressed by sorption isotherm. twenty surface soil samples (0-30 cm) belonging to five soil subgroups were taken from agricultural regions of western azerbaijan province. the sorption isotherms of pb were determined by equlibrating the soil with solutions containing 0, 1...

calcium fluoride deposit during fluoride application. uptake and retention of fluoride by saliva depends generally on the concentration of calcium. in this study, the effect of calcium pre-rinse on salivary fluoride concentration after a 900 ppm fluoride mouthwash was investigated.this cross-over double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted in a girls' dormitory in zahedan university of...

objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the retentive strength of orthodontic bands cemented with amorphous calcium phosphate (acp)-containing and conventional glass ionomer cements (gics). materials and methods: one-hundred-and-twenty mandibular third molars were embedded in acrylic resin blocks with the buccal surface of crowns perpendicular to the base of the mold. the ...
