The aim of the study was to assess microbial quality of water in dental unit waterlines in a dental school at Mangalore. Methodology: Water samples were taken from tap water for control, air/water syringe and the high speed hand piece of 20 dental units. The samples were transferred to the laboratory and streaked on the culture media namely Mac Conkey agar, Sabourauds dextrose media, Buffered c...

Two different types of cells in the peritoneal cavity of mice produce mast cell colonies in methylcellulose. "Large" mast cell colonies are produced by bone marrow-derived precursors resembling lymphoid cells by light microscopy (L-CFU-Mast), whereas "medium" and "small" mast cell colonies are produced by morphologically identifiable mast cells (M-CFU-Mast and S-CFU-Mast, respectively). In the ...

the primary focus of the present study was to evaluate the occurrence of candida albicans isolatesin the oral cavity and its probable correlation with dental implant applications and prosthesis. wecollected oral swabs from patients who had attended private dentistry clinics, followed by stringentand controlled antifungal susceptibility testing and calculation of colony forming units (cfus).amph...

In their study of the DNA levels (ploidy) of murine megakaryocyte colonies, Chatelain and Burstein evaluated the effects of acute thrombocytopenia upon the ploidy of megakaryocyte colonies derived from mice that had received platelet antiserum.’ They reported that colonies derived from bone marrow, obtained 24 hours after the administration of platelet antiserum, demonstrated the same ploidy di...

Public libraries are popular gathering places, so understanding the factors that contribute to colony-forming unit (CFU) concentrations and how minimize them is essential. This study aimed investigate affect CFU in a public library, using air sampling (Bioluminescent ATP-assay) statistical analysis software (SPSS) collect analyze data. The findings indicated concentration library was significan...

Increasing evidence especially stemming from peripheral blood progenitor transplantation studies points to a possible biologic difference between mobilized blood and bone marrow progenitor cells. The objective of this study was to compare the in situ radiation sensitivity of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF)-recruited circulating granulopoietic (blood colony-form...
