In regenerative approaches, scaffolds play a crucial role in defining the 3-D anatomical shape and microenvironment for regenerative cells, while maintaining space, favoring regeneration of new bone, and preventing soft tissue migration in the bony lesion. A variety of materials have been explored as scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration. Metals are generally inappropriate for such applications because they lack the desired degradability in a biological environment requiring a second surgery. Synthetic polymers can provide physical strength and engineered chemical properties however, they do not have optimal ease of handling or predictable biodegradation rate. In contrast to these scaffolds, calcium sulfate, also known as Plaster of Paris, is a highly biocompatible and biodegradable material that is one of the simplest synthetic bone-like grafts. It has been sued as a graft material in orthopedics and dentistry for more than one hundred years. The present review illustrates and examines current advances regarding calcium sulfate sources, various properties,scaffold forms, and clinical applications for bone tissue engineering.Additionally,it also describesNanocrystallinecalcium sulfate. Keywords: Calcium sulfate; Gypsum; Plaster of Paris; Graft; Regeneration

“…Textile floor covering and furniture upholstery, often chosen to create a home-like atmosphere, should be easy to clean when dealing with incontinence and leakage. At the same time, textile floor covering is also recognised as a source of volatile organic compounds, and is a dust reservoir containing biological contaminants like mites and moulds [119]. The sense of smell often seems to have a strong hold on human emotions, because of the connection to the limbic system, which is associated with emotion and memory processing [34,47].…”

Growth-suppressive effect of the α-amylase inhibitor of Triticum aestivum on stored-product mites varies by the species and type of diet

A naturally occurring α-amylase inhibitor (α-AI) of Triticum aestivum protects wheat grain from gramnivorous arthropod pests. The α-AI (Type-I) was incorporated into carbohydrate and protein diets to test its inhibitory activity on the stored-product mites Acarus siro, Lepidoglyphus destructor and Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Acari: Astigmata). Growth tests of mites fed the various diets were used to compare the suppressive effects. The final population size of mites attained from an initial population of 50 specimens maintained under controlled conditions (85 % relative humidity and 25 °C) was compared after 21 days of cultivation. The results showed that α-AI in the concentration in the range of 0.01-1 mg g(-1) did not suppress the growth of the tested stored-product mites. α-AI at a concentration of 10 mg g(-1) exerted a growth-suppressive effect that depended on the diet and species of the mites. The growth rate of A. siro was affected by the type of diet and was higher on carbohydrate diet than on the protein diet, the suppressive effect of α-AI was on the both diets. The growth-suppressive effect of α-AI on L. destructor and T. putrescentiae was significant when they were fed the protein diet but not when they were fed the carbohydrate diet. The higher resistance of tested mites to α-AI (proteinaceous) compared to non-proteinaceous acarbose corresponds to a powerful proteotolytic system in the mite gut. The results are discussed in terms of the adaptability of mites to utilize the starch from food sources.
