Serum Alkaline Phosphatase Levels in Pediatric Kikuchi‐Fujimoto Disease: A Retrospective Observational Analysis [PDF]
Aim Kikuchi‐Fujimoto disease (KFD) rarely affects pediatric patients and is characterized by prolonged fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis of KFD remains challenging and often requires an invasive biopsy.

Insights into Alkaline Phosphatase Anti-Inflammatory Mechanisms [PDF]
Background: The endogenous ecto-enzyme and exogenously administered alkaline phosphatase (ALP) have been evidenced to significantly attenuate inflammatory conditions, including Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-related signaling and cytokine overexpression ...

Butylboronic acid promotes cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, and expression of GJA1, ALP, and NaBC1 in human dental pulp cells in vitro [PDF]
The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of n-butylboronic acid (n-BA) on the proliferative activity, alkaline phosphatase activity, expression of hard tissue formation related genes, ALP and GJA1, and boron transporter gene, NaBC1, in ...

New use of alkaline phosphatase in neonatology [PDF]
Background. Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of esters in an alkaline environment. Four isoenzymes have been identified in the human body: placental alkaline phosphatase (PLALP isoenzyme), intestinal alkaline phosphatase ...

Osteostatin potentiates the bioactivity of mesoporous glass scaffolds containing Zn2+ ions in human mesenchymal stem cell cultures [PDF]
There is an urgent need of biosynthetic bone grafts with enhanced osteogenic capacity. In this study, we describe the design of hierarchical meso-macroporous 3D-scaffolds based on mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs), enriched with the peptide osteostatin and Zn2+ ions, and their osteogenic effect on human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) as a preclinical

Chemical reactions of ultracold alkaline-earth-metal diatomic molecules [PDF]
We study the energetics of chemical reactions between ultracold ground-state alkaline-earth-metal diatomic molecules. We show that the atom-exchange reactions forming homonuclear dimers are energetically allowed for all heteronuclear alkaline-earth-metal combinations.
