Abstract: The human fungal pathogen Candida is able to form biofilms in almost all the medical devices in current use. Indeed, biofilm formation is a major virulence attribute of microorganisms and account for a majority of human infections. Therefore, understanding processes appertaining to biofilm development is an important prerequisite for devising new strategies to prevent or eradicate biofilm-related infections. In the present study we used an array of both conventional and novel analytical tools to obtain a comprehensive view of Candida biofilm development. Enumeration of colony forming units, colorimetric (XTT) ass...

Abstract: Smoking is a risk factor for development of periodontitis. Porphyromonas gingivalis is an important colonizer of the subgingival crevice and is a major pathogenic agent in the initiation and progression of severe forms of periodontal disease. However, the effect of major cigarette's derivatives on P. gingivalis is poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of nicotine and cotinine on bacterial colonisation to epithelial cells. KB cells monolayers and P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 were exposed to 0.1, 10 and 100μg/mL of nicotine and cotinine concentrations. The epithelial cells were in...

The objective of this study was to study the effect of a peptide corresponding to residues 1025–1044 of antigen I/II and a dentifrice containing peptide on the adherence of MS.Methods: The peptide was synthesized and included into dentifrice. Anti-adherence experiments of the peptide and a dentifrice containing it were processed in vitro and in vivo.Results: The results showed that the adherence of MS to hydroxyapatite was inhibited by synthetic antigen I/II peptide and also by a dentifrice containing the peptide in vitro. The numbers of MS in plaque from subjects treated with dentifrices containing the peptide for 1 mon...

This study aimed to find out the regional distribution of IGD in human teeth to observe any association between the extent of OP and the pattern of distribution of IGD.Ground sections were prepared from 52 extracted permanent teeth and the presence of IGD was observed in different regions of the crown and the root.The highest occurrence of IGD was found in the cervical and middle thirds followed by intercuspal, and coronal third in the crown. Statistical analysis of data depicted that the occurrence of IGD differed according to the region of the tooth. In roots, the highest occurrence of IGD was seen in the cervical third ...

Abstract: Regions of a belly in a masseter muscle have been suggested to be activated independently in order to enable complex jaw-movements. However a regional difference of the masseter blood flow (MBF) is still unclear although the blood flow is one of the most important factors during activation of the muscle. The present study examined regional differences in blood flow in rat masseter muscle by comparing blood flow values at the inferior, centre, superior, anterior, and posterior regions of the muscle belly using a laser speckle imaging flowmeter with or without sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation. Regional d...

Abstract: Bone remodeling is orchestrated by cells of the osteoblast lineage and involves an intricate network of cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions. This dynamic process engages systemic hormones, locally produced cytokines and growth factors, as well as the mechanical environment of the cells. In growing subjects, the mandibular condyle consists of both articular and growth components and the presence of progenitor cells is verified by their anabolic responses to growth hormones. The pathways of chondrocyte and osteoblast differentiation during endochondral bone formation are interconnected and controlled by key ...

Activation of the extrinsic apoptotic pathway by TNF-α in Human Salivary Gland (HSG) cells in vitro, suggests a role for the TNF receptor (TNF-R) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in Sjögren's Syndrome-associated autoimmune sialadenitisEmail this article to a colleague.

Conclusion: The apoptotic pathway controls morphological, structural and functional properties of apoptotic bodies. Collectively, TNF-α-dependent activation of the extrinsic apoptotic pathway leads to upregulation of ICAM-1 and CCL20 in HSG in vitro. This suggests that pathogenesis in Sjögren's Syndrome may involve a TNF-controlled cross-talk between apoptotic ductal and CCL20-attracted dendritic cells via the CD137/CD137L signalling pathway.

Problem-based learning (PBL) in medical and dental curricula is now well established, as such courses are seen to equip students with valuable transferable skills (e.g. problem-solving or team-working abilities), in addition to knowledge acquisition. However, it is often assumed that students improve in such skills without actually providing direct opportunity for practice, and without giving students feedback on their performance. 'The Manchester Dental Programme' (TMDP) was developed at The University of Manchester, UK as a 5-year, integrated enquiry-led curriculum. The existing PBL course was redesigned to include a uni...
