consumption of food containing cholesterol and saturated fatty acids such as butter can increase serum cholesterol and cause cardiovascular diseases. therefore many efforts have been done for decreasing these constituents in foods. in this study, hazelnut and walnut powders were added to butter samples in amounts of 0 (not enriched sample), 10, 20 and 30% for evaluation of chemical characterist...

introduction : this investigation evaluates the effects of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), calcium hydroxide (ch) and calcium enriched mixture (cem) as pulp capping materials on dental pulp tissues. materials and methods: the experimental procedures were performed on eighteen intact dog canine teeth. the pulps were exposed. cavities were randomly filled with cem, mta, or ch followed by glass ...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to compare the sealability of three different commercial types of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium enrichment mixture (cem) cement as an experimental root-end filling material. materials and methods: forty-six single rooted teeth were cleaned, shaped, and obturated. the apical 3 mm of each root was resected and root-end cavities with 3 mm ...

for management of a symptomatic maxillary lateral incisor with dull pain on chewing, suppurative sinus tract, defective metal-ceramic crown and iatrogenic internal root resorption, an interdisciplinary approach was taken. two-visit nonsurgical treatment with calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement, replacement of metal-ceramic crown with all-ceramic crown and corrective periodontal plastic surger...

introduction: the aim of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the radiographic and clinical success rates of direct pulp capping (dpc) using proroot mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) or calcium enriched mixture (cem). methods and materials: a total of 42 symptom-free carious vital primary molars (21 pairs) were selected in this split mouth trial and randomly pulpotomized in two experi...

in all biological systems growth is defined as increase of chemical compounds. bacteria can achieve to balanced growth if they are growing in a medium, which are completely adapted to it. clostridium chauvoei, (clostridium feseri) is an anaerobic, spore forming, motile, and polymorph bacteria, which its size varies from 0.5-1 to 3-8 micron and could be observed as individual bacterium, diplo, a...

Antibody production and clinical efficacy (relative percent survival RPS) were measured in 40±5g rainbow trout after immunization with two types of Streptococcus iniae vaccines consisting of formalin killed cells (FKC) and FKC enriched with the bacterial extracellular products (ECP) administered by intraperitoneal (i.p), immersion and oral routes at 16±1°C for 18 weeks. No significant differenc...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of using Artemia franciscana enriched with cod liver oil and vitamins C and E on the growth, survival and stress resistance of juvenile Sepia pharaonis (Pharaoh cuttlefish). Twenty-five days after hatching, the larvae of S. pharaonis were transferred into culture tanks with an average length of 15.97±0.15 mm and average body weight of 3.53±0.03 g, in ele...

this study was accomplished to investigate the effect of artemia urmiana nauplii enriched with pediococcus acidilactici as probiotic on growth performance and survival rate of great sturgeon, huso huso.  artemia nauplii were enriched with p. acidilactici at a final concentration of 1010 cfu ml-1 in three time dependent treatments as 3 h (t3), 6 h (t6), 9 h (t9), and one non-enriched artemia as ...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the marginal adaptation of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture(cem) cement apical plugs in open apex teeth in dry, blood- and saliva-contaminated canals. methods and materials: a total of 120 human extracted single-rooted teeth were used. the teeth were decoronated and canals were cleaned and shaped up to #80 k-files. ...
