This study aimed to identify the prevalence of molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) in schoolchildren and its association with dental caries experience. This was a cross-sectional study with a sample of 471 children aged 8 to 10 years. Data were collected via a sociodemographic questionnaire. Intra-oral clinical examination was done to identify and diagnose MIH (EAPD Criteria) as well as dental caries (ICDAS Index). Statistical analyses were performed with Person's Chi-square, Fisher's exact, and ...

This study evaluated the effect of honey addition on the viability of free and emulsion encapsulated cells of two strains of Bifidobacterium that underwent simulation of human upper gastrointestinal transit. In the control condition, without honey, free cells were drastically reduced after exposure to gastrointestinal conditions. The reduction was more pronounced with Bifidobacterium J7 of human origin. On the other hand, when cells were encapsulated, the viability reduction was higher for strain ...

In the development of functional probiotic food, the carrier matrices should be carefully selected and optimized to ensure the highest levels of probiotic survival in the symbiotic food along storage. Because milk and honey food matrices are rich in antioxidant substances, the aim of the research was to evaluate their effect in protecting lactobacilli from reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by the addition of hydrogen peroxide. Viability assays were performed with and without the addition of ...

Effective cryopreservation of pancreatic islets would be valuable in several contexts: for the assessment of islet cell viability, the measurement of β-cell function, and the maintenance of viability and sterility prior to islet transplantation. In this study, isolated rat islets were cryopreserved or not following overnight culture and the most suitable preservation solution for transportation between centers was sought. Unfrozen and frozen-and-thawed islets were allocated to each of four different ...

Most of the antioxidant compounds present in propolis affect the viability of a number of undesirable microorganisms, but their role on probiotic microorganisms has not yet been properly elucidated. This research aims to assess the effect of propolis extracts on pathogenic microorganisms, as well as on potential probiotic lactobacilli. It was observed that the maceration in water does not extract the bioactive compounds present in these samples unlike the ethanolic extracts that showed antimicrobial ...

Although successful cryopreservation of rodent and human islets is a well-established technique for islet storage after isolation and purification, little is known about the influence of the freeze–thaw procedure on the islets’ potential to induce angiogenesis and revascularization, a major process ...

Given the encouraging clinical results of both candidate subunit vaccines and revaccination with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) against tuberculosis (TB), there is support for combining BCG and subunit vaccination for increased efficacy. BCG and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) share ~98% of their genome and current subunit vaccines are almost exclusively designed as BCG boosters. The goal of this study is to design a TB subunit vaccine composed of antigens not shared with BCG and explore the advantages ...

The present study evaluated the use of the probiotic Lacticaseibacillus paracasei DTA-83 as a nitrite-reducing agent to produce potentially probiotic or postbiotic pre-converted nitrite from celery. The results obtained were compared to those achieved by direct addition of sodium nitrite for the typical reddish color formation in cooked pork sausages and the inhibitory potential against the growth of target microorganisms, including the clostridia group. Regarding the sausages color, similar findings ...

Endoglin (ENG; CD105) is a coreceptor of the TGFβ family that is highly expressed in proliferating endothelial cells. Often coopted by cancer cells, ENG can lead to neo-angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry in aggressive malignancies. It exists both as a transmembrane cell surface protein, where it primarily interacts with TGFβ, and as a soluble matricellular protein (sENG) when cleaved by matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14). High ENG expression has been associated with poor prognosis in Ewing sarcoma, ...
