Dental implants have been utilized in the last several decades to replace missing teeth. Various factors may result in the loss of teeth. The most common causes of tooth loss are often caries or periodontal disease. The use of a dental implant restored with a porcelain fused to metal crown is often the standard. The purpose of this study was to assess the architectural integrity of gingival fibroblasts at the cellular level when exposed to universally utilized restorative dental material; porcelain, in the presence of a periodontal pathogen, Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS-PG). Human gingival fibroblasts were exposed to Porcelain (.1 g) in combination with LPS-PG (10 μL), at 24, 48, and 72 hour durations. When assessing for cellular metabolic activity and viability, no significant differences were noted between the control and experimental groups. Contrastingly, when assessing for oxidative stress, the experimental groups were statistically significantly different from the control at the 48 and 72 hour phases (P<0.001). H&E staining of the experimental groups showed irregular shaped cells with loss of density, vacuolization, coarse cytoplasm, and hyperchromatic nuclei.

A detailed understanding of the mechanism of protein synthesis will ultimately depend on knowledge of the native structure of the ribosome. Towards this end we have investigated the low resolution structure of the eukaryotic ribosome embedded in frozen buffer, making use of a system in which the ribosomes crystallize naturally.The ribosomes in the cells of early chicken embryos form crystalline arrays when the embryos are cooled at 4°C. We have developed methods to isolate the stable unit of these arrays, the ribosome tetramer, and have determined conditions for the growth of two-dimensional crystals in vitro, Analysis of the proteins in the crystals by 2-D gel electrophoresis demonstrates the presence of all ribosomal proteins normally found in polysomes. There are in addition, four proteins which may facilitate crystallization. The crystals are built from two oppositely facing P4 layers and the predominant crystal form, accounting for >80% of the crystals, has the tetragonal space group P4212, X-ray diffraction of crystal pellets demonstrates that crystalline order extends to ~ 60Å.

SummaryThe variability of the platelet GP Ia/IIa density has been associated with the 807 C/T polymorphism (Phe 224) of the GP Ia gene in American Caucasian population. We have investigated the genotype and allelic frequencies of this polymorphism in Spanish Caucasians. The T allele was found in 35% of the 284 blood donors analyzed. We confirmed in 159 healthy subjects a significant association between the 807 C/T polymorphism and the platelet GP Ia density. The T allele correlated with high number of GP Ia molecules on platelet surface. In addition, we observed a similar association of this polymorphism with the expression of this protein in other blood cell types. The platelet responsiveness to collagen was determined by “in vitro” analysis of the platelet activation and aggregation response. We found no significant differences in these functional platelet parameters according to the 807 C/T genotype. Finally, results from 3 case/control studies involving 302 consecutive patients (101 with coronary heart disease, 104 with cerebrovascular disease and 97 with deep venous thrombosis) determined that the 807 C/T polymorphism of the GP Ia gene does not represent a risk factor for arterial or venous thrombosis.
