Safety assessment of inhaled xylitol in mice and healthy volunteers

Respiratory Research, 2004
Background Xylitol is a 5-carbon sugar that can lower the airway surface salt concentration, thus enhancing innate immunity. We tested the safety and tolerability of aerosolized iso-osmotic xylitol in mice and human volunteers.

Detection of Nitazenes in the Illicit Drug Supply Utilizing Precursor Ion Scan Methods With Paper Spray Mass Spectrometry

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
Nitazenes are increasingly present in the illicit drug supply, complicating harm reduction efforts. We have developed a rapid, nontargeted precursor ion scan method to detect emerging nitazenes in real‐world opioid samples. The method identified multiple nitazenes, often replacing pharmaceutical opioids or mixed with fentanyl and benzodiazepines ...

Children's acceptance of milk with xylitol or sorbitol for dental caries prevention

BMC Oral Health, 2005
Background Xylitol, a polyol sugar, has been shown to reduce dental caries when mixed with food or chewing gum. This study examines the taste acceptability of xylitol in milk as a first step toward measuring the effectiveness of xylitol in milk for the ...

A Robust Densification Strategy Toward Ultrahigh Energy Density in All‐Organic Dielectric Polymer Films

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A scalable densification strategy is proposed by incorporating sucrose into a fluoropolymer matrix to build a robust hydrogen‐bond crosslinking network. The intermolecular interactions effectively facilitate polar phase transformation and reduce free volume fraction.

Betaine‐, xylitol‐, and extra virgin olive oil–based toothpaste modulates inflammation and oral nitric oxide pathway: Clinical trial in gingivitis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gingivitis is a prevalent and reversible inflammatory condition driven by microbial dysbiosis. Beyond plaque control, interest has grown in oral hygiene formulations capable of modulating inflammation while preserving key microbial functions. Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), together with xylitol and betaine, has demonstrated clinical
