TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for the analysis of 210 Pb and 210 Po in foods and diets is presented, based on a separation of the daughter radionuclide 210 Bi by precipitation of lead sulphate, 210 Bi ingrowing and beta counting of this nuclide.
Abstract: Radiochemical procedures for the analysis of 210 Pb and 210 Po in foods and diets are presented. Because of the low beta energy of 210 Pb, its analysis was based on a separation of the daughter radionuclide 210 Bi by precipitation of lead sulphate, 210 Bi ingrowing and beta counting of this nuclide. 210 Po analysis was based on wet dissolution of the sample, deposition onto silver disc and counting by alpha-spectrometry. Levels of these radionuclides in individual items and diets of selected university students were determined in order to evaluate the intakes of 210 Pb and 210 Po as well as the dose due to ingestion of foods and diets in Sao Paulo city.

TL;DR: Within the parameters used in this study, PDT mediated by methylene blue in a surfactant vehicle reached significant microbial reduction levels with 5 min of irradiation, indicating the clinical use of PDT may be limited by factors that reduce the antimicrobial effect.

TL;DR: The OCT technique is promising for diagnosing and monitoring erosive lesion damage; however, further in vitro and in vivo research is needed to improve its use.
Abstract: This study aimed to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess the progression of erosive lesions after irradiation with Nd:YAG laser and application of topical fluoride. One-hundred and twenty dentin samples (4 × 4 × 2 mm) obtained from bovine incisors were used. Samples were protected with acid-resistant nail varnish, with exception of a central circular area 2 mm in diameter. All samples were submitted to erosive cycles with citric acid solution 0.05 M (citric acid monohydrate—C6H8O7·H2O); M = 210.14 g/mol) pH 2.3, at room temperature, for 20 min, 2×/day, throughout 20 days. After 10 days of acid challenges, lesions became visible, and each group received a different treatment (n = 15): control (without treatment), topical application of sodium fluoride 2 % for 4 min; Nd:YAG laser with different irradiation parameters (1, 0.7, and 0.5 W); and the association of fluoride with the laser parameters. OCT readouts were performed on day 01 (before the first acid challenge—OCT1), on day 05 (OCT2), day 10 (OCT3—after treatment), day 15 (OCT4), day 17 (OCT5), and day 20 (OCT6). The OCT images generated made it possible to measure the amount of tooth tissue loss over the 20 days of erosive cycle, before and after treatments, and to monitor early dentin demineralization progression. After statistical analysis, the fluoride group was observed to be the one that showed smaller loss of tissue over time. The OCT technique is promising for diagnosing and monitoring erosive lesion damage; however, further in vitro and in vivo research is needed to improve its use.
