OBJECTIVES Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are commonly used as restorative materials. Responses to GICs differ among cell types and it is therefore of importance to thoroughly investigate the influence of these restorative materials on pulp stem cells that are potential source for dental tissue regeneration. Eight biomaterials were tested: Fuji I, Fuji II, Fuji VIII, Fuji IX, Fuji Plus, Fuji Tria...

PURPOSE To estimate the proportion of osteoporosis patients in whom initiating strontium ranelate treatment, under new EMA guidelines, should be contraindicated because of a history of cardiovascular events or risk for cardiovascular events. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of medical and pharmacy claims using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink database. Patients w...

Introduction. Strontium salts are anti-irritants for chemically induced sensory irritation. Interstitial cystitis is a painful disease without definitive therapy. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of strontium in bladder with experimental interstitial cystitis model. Material and Methods. Rats' bladders in control group were instilled with NaCl. Second group was instilled with E....

Strontium-82 is produced by proton activation of a rubidium chloride target in an accelerator or cyclotron and purified by ion exchange chromatography. The Strontrium-82 is used in Cardigen generators to produce Rubidium-82 for cardiac imaging. Quality control testing of the purified Strontium-82 is performed with Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and gamma spec...

Cementogenesis, performed by cementoblasts, is important for the repair of root resorption caused by orthodontic treatment. Based on recent studies, strontium has been applied for osteoporosis treatment due to its positive effect on osteoblasts. Although promising, the effect of strontium on cementoblasts is still unclear. So the aim of this research was to clarify and investigate the effect of...

Objective: To investigate the impact of strontium ranelate on implant osseointergration of osteoporotic rats in vivo experiment. Method: Thirty-six female rats were randomly divided into three groups: ovariectomization group (A=12), strontium ranelate low-dose treatment group (B=12) and strontium ranelate high-dose treatment group (C=12). After the success of the osteoporosis model building, HA...

Two new orthophosphates, BaMn2Fe(PO4)3 [barium dimanganese(II) iron(III) tris-(orthophosphate)] and SrMn2Fe(PO4)3 [strontium dimanganese(II) iron(III) tris-(orthophosphate)], were synthesized by solid-state reactions. They are isotypic and crystallize in the ortho-rhom-bic system with space group type Pbcn. Their crystal structures comprise infinite zigzag chains of edge-sharing FeO6 octa-hedra...

The effects of low doses of oral stable strontium (0.19-0.40% of strontium chloride) on mineral and bone metabolism were examined in normal rats using biochemical and histomorphometrical methods. The strontium levels in serum and bone rose according to the intake of the element. Oral strontium supplementation did not produce deleterious effects on body growth or on mineral homeostasis except a ...

The reaction of strontium(II) nitrate with the proton-transfer compound (pdaH(2))(py-3,5-dc)·H(2)O (where pda = propane-1,3-diamine and py-3,5-dcH(2) = pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid) leads to the formation of the title polymeric compound, [Sr(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(H(2)O)(4)](n). The propane-1,3-diaminium cation is not incorporated in this crystal structure. The Sr(II) atom lies on an inversion centre...
