Abstract

This article represents a clinical report from daily experience with the C-POST system, a carbon-fiber post for core build-up. The C-POST was invented in France in 1988 and introduced in Sweden in 1992. When I first started using the system, little literature about it had been published. Because the C-POST fits well in the modern bonding concept, it has become my therapy of choice. In my practice, more than 900 treated teeth have been registered in a computer so that treatment progress can be followed. Every treated tooth was registered according to the type of primer, cement, core material, number of posts, and type of prostheses used. The prosthetics included large composite fillings, porcelain crowns, and/or metal crowns or bridges from 3 to 12 units. Of the 900 treated teeth, 173 of them are between 3 and 4 years old, 2 contain fractured roots, and 1 had a post fracture. This article describes how to fabricate a C-POST core build-up and contains clinical hints and advice. Other applications for the post, such as splinting, bridges, and repair of fixed prosthodontics and vital teeth, are discussed.

Phenotypic profiling of carbon utilization of Pectobacterium brasiliense (Pbr1692).

Pectobacterium brasiliense 1692 (Pbr1692) is a necrotrophic pathogen that infects many crops such as potatoes and ornamental plants and derives nutrients from degraded plant tissue. Previous studies have identified Pbr1692 genes required for ecological fitness and virulence, however there is a lack of information on nutrient utilization in Pbr1692. Carbon source utilization profiling in Pbr1692 could provide a platform to decipher its metabolic flexibility and adaptation. This study assessed the nutrient utilization of Pbr1692 in different carbon sources, using Biolog Phenotypic Microarray (PM). An array of carbon sources utilized by Pbr1692 were identified, 32 carbohydrates and 8 carboxylic acids were among the preferred carbon nutrients utilized by Pbr1692. The PM results also revealed that the citric acid cycle, amino acid metabolism, and pentose phosphate metabolic pathways might be used to produce energy for Pbr1692. In addition, growth of Pbr1692 cells in minimal medium supplemented with citric acid, glucose, and aspartic acid retained the typical rod shape, suggesting that nutrient variation did not influence Pbr1692 cell morphology adaptation. This study provides an understanding on the adaptation of Pbr1692 and lays a foundation for understanding carbon metabolism of Pbr1692.

Electrochemical behavior of riboflavin immobilized on different matrices.

The electrochemical behavior of riboflavin (RF) adsorbed on different surfaces of inorganic matrices was investigated using modified carbon paste electrodes. Silica gel and sol-gel silica modified with niobium oxide were denominated as (SN) and (SN(sol-gel)), respectively. These materials were treated with a H3PO4 solution to graft phosphate groups and were denominated as (SNP) and (SNP(sol-gel)). The immobilization of RF on these materials indicated a high electrode stability, avoiding leaching out of the electroactive species (RF) from the electrode surface. The values of formal potential (E0') of the adsorbed RF on the different matrices changed from -283 (SNRF) up to -165 mV (SNPRF(sol-gel)) vs SCE in 0.1 moll(-1) NaNO3 solution at pH 7.0. Compared to the E0' for soluble RF, the values are shifted 183 up to 305 mV toward more positive potentials. The stability of the electrodes and the formal potential of the adsorbed RF on different matrices remained constant upon changing the solution pH from 3 to 8. Some kinetic parameters were estimated; indicating that all systems studied presented a good electron transfer rate.

Cobalt(II) salophen-modified carbon-paste electrode for potentiometric and voltammetric determination of cysteine.

A chemically modified electrode constructed by incorporating N,N(')-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-phenylenediaminocobalt(II) into carbon-paste matrix was used as a sensitive electrochemical sensor for detection of cysteine. The resulting electrode exhibits catalytic properties for the electrooxidation of cysteine and lowers the overpotential for the oxidation of this compound. The faster rate of electron transfer results in a near-Nernstian behavior of the modified electrode and makes it a suitable potentiometric and voltammetric sensor for the fast and easy determination of cysteine. A linear response in concentration range from approximately 2 microM to 0.01 M was obtained with a detection limit of 1 microM for the potentiometric detection of cysteine. The modified electrode was also used for the amperometric and differential pulse voltammetric determination of cysteine and the results were compared with those of the potentiometric method.
