Transplantation of microencapsulated insulin-secreting cells is proposed as a promising therapy for the treatment of type I diabetes mellitus. In recent years, important advances have been made in the field of immunoisolation and many studies have shown that alginate provides some major advantages for encapsulation over other systems. Since it is known that the extracellular matrix influences t...

Excessive oxidative stress in pancreatic β cells, caused by glucose and fatty acids, is associated with the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Mogrosides have shown antioxidant and antidiabetic activities in animal models of diabetes, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study evaluated the antioxidant effect of mogrosides on insulinoma cells under oxidative stress caused by palmiti...

The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro the antimicrobial effect and diffusion against E. faecalis of new intracanal medications on the external root surface. The medications tested were a placebo gel (PC); the new formulations with either 3% nitrofurantoin (NIT) or 3% doxycycline hydrochloride (DX) and 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) gel as positive control. The new formulations were tested u...

The use of slow-growing Seashore paspalum dwarf varieties is an effective way to reduce mowing frequency. Here, the differences in metabolism and hormone levels between mutant T51 WT were investigated. Finally, genes associated with phenotype screened combination our previous studies. At metabolic level, 236 differential metabolites identified. Further screening hormone-related found that ABA S...

This study adopts Neo-Institutional Theory (NIT) to address the underlying differences in information security policy compliance between the banking industry and the higher education. Drawing on NIT, this study examines how regulative, normative, and cognitive expectations influence the internal organizational efforts of staying compliant across both industries. Using the Partial Least Square (...

Between May 2003 and July 2006, we carried out percutaneous patent ductus arteriosus closure using a Nit-Occlud device in 28 patients, who had a median age of 1.8 years (range 0.5-21 years) and a median weight of 10.9 kg (range 5.9-64 kg). The ductus arteriosus had several different morphologic forms, and there was one postsurgical recanalization of the ductus arteriosus. The median minimum duc...
