collected into the sodium citrate-containing tube, which showed normal platelet counts. Only a few cases of PGPS have been reported [1-4]. To our knowledge, this is the first case to be reported in Korea. Stavem and Berg [1] described EDTA-induced ‘platelet stain preventing factor’, and Mant et al. [2], Cockbill et al. [3], and Toyota et al. [4] reported platelet degranulation caused by EDTA. U...

In a pot experiment, the potential use of 10 plant species, including six dicotyledon species and four monocotyledon species, was investigated for the EDTA-enhanced phytoextraction of Pb from contaminated soil. Mung bean and buckwheat had a higher sensitivity to the EDTA treatment in soils. In the 2.5 and 5.0 mmol kg(-1) EDTA treatments, the Pb concentrations in the shoots of the six dicotyledo...

The aim of this study was to compare the influence a final rinse with and without passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), using 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or 10% citric (CA), 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) PUI, on sealing ability root canal fillings. Root instrumentation performed in single-rooted premolars NaOCl as irrigant. Subsequently, roots were randomly allocated into four ...

Soil sample from a site heavily contaminated with >10 wt.% zinc is sampled and extracted with aqueous solutions of ethylene diamine tetra-acetic cid (EDTA) that is a reagent frequently used to extract heavy metals in soil remediation. Three liquid/soil ratios (5/1, 20/1, and 100/1) were used n the extracting experiment. The molecular environment of the residual Zn in the EDTA-extract residues o...

When we used plasma containing EDTA as an anticoagulant, the growth of Lacto bacillus casei was inhibited in the folate microbiological assay involving use of 300 p.L of assay mixture in a 96-well microtiter plate (1-3). We postulated that this inhibition was caused by EDTA chelation of manganese, iron, and magnesium ions, all of which are essential for growth of L. casei (4, 5). The singlestre...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the bond strength of Photo-Activated Disinfection (PAD) system to dentin with different root canal sealers by using a push-out test design. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 30 extracted mandibular premolar teeth with single and straight roots were used. The crowns were removed and the root canals were prepared by using ProTaper rotar...

Objectives This study aimed to introduce the use of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for evaluation of the mineral content of root canal dentin, and to assess whether a correlation exists between LIBS and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) methods by comparing the effects of irrigation solutions on the mineral content change of root canal dentin. ...
