among Escherichia coli isolates collected from pets in China between 2006 and 2010 were …

Performance evaluation is indispensable for a surgical simulator to become acceptable. A
haptics-based dental simulator (iDental) has been developed and preliminary user evaluation …

The purpose of this study was to examine the occurrence of fosfomycin-resistant Escherichia
coli from chickens and to characterize the plasmids carrying fosA3. A total of 661 E. coli …

Objectives To characterize a representative self-transmissible multidrug resistance plasmid
pHN7A8 isolated from an Escherichia coli from a dog in China, classified as F33:A-:B- by …

Background Periodontal diseases are regarded as the most common diseases of mankind.
The prevalence rate of periodontal disease assumes a clear growth tendency, increasing by …

The failing dentition of partially edentulous individuals may be used as an initial reference
for stackable restrictive surgical guides during full‐arch immediate implant placement. The …

Objectives To investigate the occurrence of plasmid-mediated fosfomycin resistance genes
among Escherichia coli from food animals in China. Methods A total of 892 E. coli isolates …

Calprotectin, a heterodimer of S100A8 and S100A9 subunits, is associated with inflammatory
disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and cystic fibrosis. Although calprotectin levels are …

Background We previously demonstrated that 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 concentrations in gingival
crevicular fluid are 300 times higher than those in the plasma of patients with aggressive …

S100A8, S100A9, and calprotectin (the S100A8/S100A9 complex) are calcium-binding proteins
that promote extracellular pro-inflammatory functions and may play an important role in …
