The purpose of this study was to evaluate pulpal healing and reparative dentin formation after 14 and 28 days in exposed rat pulp directly capped with an experimentally developed all-in-one adhesive containing surface reaction-type pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) filler. The four experimental groups and the control group were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by the Steel-Dwass post-hoc test to compare the histopathological score. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the histopathological score at 14 and 28 days for each observation item. All experimental adhesives containing S-PRG fillers developed for direct pulp capping showed no pulpal inflammation. After 14 days, the experimental adhesives containing S-PRG fillers and the control group formed tertiary dentin around the exposed pulp. After 28 days, the experimental adhesives containing 13 and 27 wt% of S-PRG fillers formed dentin bridge equal to the control.

Objective: Trace elements play a significant role in several metabolic processes and often circulate in the blood binding to protein. The purpose of this study was to determine the status of selenium, zinc, and boron in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome patients in active and remission phases. Materials and Methods:Fourteen patients and fourteen healthy age-matched controls were included in the study. The selenium, zinc and boron level in plasma and urine were measured by the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Results:The plasma levels of zinc and selenium were significantly lower in both active and remission patients (for all p=0.0001). The plasma boron level was significantly lower only in patients in active phase (p=0.0002 vs control). The concentrations of urinary boron and selenium were significantly higher during active phase compared with remission (p=0.0003 and 0.0001, respectively). Conclusion:Supplementation with zinc, selenium and boron may be justified in patients suffering with this disease.

“…These studies demonstrated that the essential roles of B in embryonic development for frog and zebra fish. In contrast, there is no conclusive evidence that B is essential for mammals' lives at present, although B was suggested to function in early embryonic development in mice (Mus musculus) (Lanoue et al, 1999) and a number of studies have shown that B intake brings numerous benefits to human health (Nielsen and Meacham, 2011). Considering that plants also require high B for embryonic differentiation (Behrendt and Zoglauer, 1996), it is plausible that animals and plants have a common B metabolism at the initial phase of differentiation (Goldbach and Wimmer, 2007).…”

Boron (B), a metalloid element, is atomic number 5 of periodic table. Element B and some B compounds have industrial values. B essentiality is proven in some living organisms including plants, but probably in human. At present, the only role of B in plants is demonstrated as the structural maintenance of cell wall. Soil B, as boric acid, is acquired through roots and then distributed around the plant via the passive and active transport pathway. To adapt variations in the environmental B status, the active B transport system is tightly regulated at the molecular level in plants. In agriculture, both deficient and excess levels of soil B impair plant growth, resulting in the reduction of quantity and quality of crops. The major causes of B toxicity in plants contain oxidative stress, metabolism alteration and deoxyribonucleic acid damage. Several plant traits/genes that ensure tolerance to B stress have been isolated. Key Concepts: Boron has numerous biological functions in almost all living organisms including plants although its biochemical importance is poorly understood. B is widely distributed in the earth, and its main form in soils is boric acid that is available for plants. B availability in soils depends on factors such as soil type and climates, and it is a key determinant for the crop yields in agriculture. Plants uptake and distribute B via two distinct pathways: passive diffusion and active transport mediated by B transport molecules. The molecules working in the active B transport system are tightly regulated dependently to the environmental B conditions to promote B acquisition under limited B supply or to avoid accumulating toxic levels of B in plants. The active B efflux from cells to soils or outside of cells and the protection of cellular mechanism from B attack are key molecular processes for B‐toxicity tolerance in plants.
