Effects of the Highly COX-2-Selective Analgesic NSAID Etoricoxib on Human Periodontal Ligament Fibroblasts during Compressive Orthodontic Mechanical Strain by Christian Kirschneck, Erika Calvano Küchler, Michael Wolf, Gerrit Spanier, Peter Proff, Agnes Schröder

“…In this in vitro study, we investigated possible side effects of two clinically relevant etoricoxib concentrations on the expression pattern of mechanically strained hPDL fibroblasts and associated osteoclastogenesis in a model of simulated orthodontic compressive strain occurring during orthodontic tooth movement. hPDL fibroblasts were incubated for 72 h under physiological conditions with etoricoxib at 0 μM, 3.29 μM, and 5.49 μM, corresponding to clinically normal and subtoxic dosages, with and without mechanical strain by compression (2 g/cm2) for the final 48 h, simulating conditions during orthodontic tooth movement in compressive areas of the periodontal ligament. …”

Klein-Gordon Oscillator in the Presence of External Fields in a Cosmic Space-Time with a Space-Like Dislocation and Aharonov-Bohm Effect by Faizuddin Ahmed

“…In this paper, we study interactions of a scalar particle with electromagnetic potential in the background space-time generated by a cosmic string with a space-like dislocation. We solve the Klein-Gordon oscillator in the presence of external fields including an internal magnetic flux field and analyze the analogue effect to the Aharonov-Bohm effect for bound states. …”

Molecular characterization and lineage analysis of canine astrovirus strains from dogs with gastrointestinal disease in Ecuador based on ORF-2 gene analysis by Anthony Loor-Giler, Anthony Loor-Giler, Silvana Santander-Parra, Sara Castillo-Reyes, Martín Campos, Martín Campos, Renan Mena-Perez, Renan Mena-Perez, Santiago Prado-Chiriboga, Santiago Prado-Chiriboga, Luis Nunez, Luis Nunez

“…The presence of 4 of the 5 previously reported CaAstV lineages were identified, and three possible recombinant strains were identified. Given the high frequency of CaAstV infections in dogs with gastroenteritis and its high genetic variability, it emphasizes the need to implement routine diagnostic measures that include this pathogen as one of the main causes of the disease and a risk agent in case of multiple infections.…”
