Glycoproteins play a central role in diverse biological processes and are linked with many serious human diseases. In this paper we present a simple, reproducible and cost-effective analytical workflow that enables the reliable quantification of clinically relevant human plasma glycoproteins using label free microflow LC-MS/MS analysis. Plasma N-glycoproteins were selectively extracted via ConA Sepharose lectin affinity chromatography then separated into two fractions using reversed-phase solid phase extraction. Read More

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Plasmodium falciparum malaria during pregnancy is responsible for deleterious consequences for the mother and her child. The administration of intermittent preventive treatment (IPTp) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) at each antenatal care visit as early as 13 weeks of gestation until the time of delivery is a strategy that is currently recommended by WHO for the prevention of malaria in pregnancy. However, the emergence and the spread of the resistance to SP in Africa raise the question of the short-term effectiveness of the strategy. Read More

Purpose Of Review: Defective dental restorations are amongst the most common encounters in general dental practice. Replacement of defective restorations is often costly and commonly results in the sacrifice of sound tooth structure, thereby compromising the vitality of the dental pulp, potentially resulting in the acceleration of the restoration cycle and premature loss of the restored tooth. With advances in adhesive dentistry, 'reparative dentistry' is becoming an important area of minimally invasive dentistry. Read More

In orthodontic diagnosis and oral treatment planning, 3D tooth model constructed by dental computed tomography (CT) images is an essential and useful assisted tool. In virtue of the higher spatial resolution and lower radiation of X-ray, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been widely used in dental application. However, due to lower signal to noise ratio, vague and weak edge between tooth root and sockets as well as intensity inhomogeneity, the tooth root is easy to be under- segmented and appears false boundary.

Objective: In the present study, we investigated the fusion process between amorphous microparticles of the calcium salt of the physiological polymer comprising orthophosphate units, of inorganic polyphosphate (polyP), and enamel.
Methods: This polymer was incorporated as an ingredient into toothpaste and the fusion process was studied by electron microscopy and by synchrotron-based X-ray tomography microscopy (SRXTM) techniques.
Results: The data showed that toothpaste, supplemented with the amorphous Ca-polyP microparticles (aCa-polyP-MP), not only reseals tooth defects on enamel, like carious lesions, and dentin, including exposed dentinal tubules, but also has the potential to induce re-mineralization in the enamel and dentin regions.

In the anterior tooth zone, the criteria of successful implant restoration is not only to ensure a high survival rate of implant, but also to provide long-lasting and stable aesthetic outcomes. As for the rehabilitation of anterior teeth, immediate implant placement might achieve a survival rate similar to those of delayed implant placement and significantly reduce treatment time, whereas several aesthetic complications such as gingival recession, loss of interdental papilla, exposure of implant margin could also occur. Therefore, an important issue need to be solved is that how to avoid or handle the aesthetic complications of immediate implant placement of anterior teeth. Read More
