The linker region contains phosphorylation sites that regulate its functioning. The CTD promotes nucleocapsid formation. The E protein contains a NTD, hydrophobic domain and CTD which form viroporins needed for viral assembly. The M protein possesses hydrophilic C terminal and amphipathic N terminal. Its long-form promotes spike incorporations and the interaction with E facilitates virion production. As each protein is essential in viral functioning, this review describes the insights of SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins that would help in developing therapeutic strategies by targeting each protein to curb the rapidly growing pandemic.The novel corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome, now called COVID-19 initially originated in Wuhan city of China and later spread across borders and infected more than five million people and killed over 3.4 lakh people all over the globe. This disease has been announced as pandemic by WHO. So far, there has been not much progress in terms of drug development for fighting against this deadliest virus, also no existing drugs has been reported completely effective for COVID-19 treatment owing to lack of effective therapeutic targets and a broad understanding of the viral behavior in target cell. Some reports have found and confirmed that SARS-CoV-2 like others SARS-CoVs utilizes angiotensin converting enzyme-2 receptor for making entry into target cell by binding to the receptor with its S1 subunit and employing host cell proteases for cleaving S2 subunit at S2' in order to fuse with cell membrane. Thus, simultaneous blocking of S1 subunit and inactivation of proteases seem to be promising therapeutic targets for the development of effective novel drugs. In current write up we hypothesize that S1 subunit and host proteases as potential therapeutic avenues for the treatment of COVID-19.Introduction The maxillary central incisor impaction represents a complex challenge in paediatric dentistry practice and may result in aesthetic and functional disharmony. The causes of this condition include physical barriers associated or not with a lack of space making eruption not possible, idiopathic ectopic positioning of the teeth or by trauma, non-coordination in rhizalysis and rhizogenesis between deciduous and successor or tooth shape abnormalities. The incidence of this involvement is quite rare, around 1% of the population. Opening of space through disjunction of the palatal suture is the main treatment proposed to solve this situation and, when necessary, the orthodontic traction assisted by surgery. Description Were presented two cases of maxillary central incisors impaction in children treated with rapid maxillary expansion, alignment and levelling, and a follow-up after 5 years of treatment. Results and conclusions The challenge of these treatments were based on the early treatment in mixed dentition with expansion. The treatment of permanent maxillary central incisor impaction in children enabled excellent periodontal response and post-treatment occlusal stability.Introduction The primary aim of this randomized in vitro study was to compare the effectiveness of carbide, fibreglass and polymer burs on resinous remnant removal after bracket debonding, by the evaluation of enamel surface roughness and morphology. The secondary objective was to compare the time dispended on the procedures. Methods The buccal surfaces of 28 bovine incisors were analysed by a profilometer to initial roughness measurement (Ra-T1). Brackets were bonded with a light-cured resin and debonded with a debonding plier. The samples were randomly divided into four groups, according to the bur used (n=7) A-Tungsten carbide; B-Fibreglass; C-Polymer; D-Polymer with 75% ethanol pre-treatment. The second roughness measurements were made after resin removal (Ra-T2). Time for removal procedures was also recorded. The third measurements were made after polishing (Ra-T3). Scanning Electronic Microscopy was performed in two samples of each group after resin removal and after polishing. Results of roughness and time measurements were statically analysed by analysis of variance with post-hoc Bonferroni. Results After polishing, tungsten carbide (P=0.1555) and fibreglass burs provided final surface roughness statistically similar to the baseline condition (P=1.0000). Yet, polymer burs, associated (P less then 0.0001) or not to alcohol (P less then 0.0001), provided surface roughness significantly higher when compared to baseline values. Polymer burs were more time-consuming on resinous remnant removal than tungsten carbide and fibreglass burs (P less then 0.05). Conclusion Polymer burs were less effective and more time-consuming to remove the remaining resin than tungsten carbide and fibreglass burs. The polishing step created smoother surfaces regardless of the burs used for resin removal.Background Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) is a rare X-linked recessive androgen receptor (AR) disorder with 46XY karyotype. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/decursin.html Partial AIS affects 5-7 per 1,000,000 genetically male individuals whereas Complete AIS affects 2-5 per 100,000 genetically male individuals. CAIS CAIS is characterized by complete resistance to the action of androgens. Presentation of case 17-year patient presented with swelling in bilateral inguinal region. Patient also complained of primary amenorrhea with serum FSH and LH levels being raised, serum testosterone level much above normal range. MRI Pelvis revealed agenesis of vagina, uterine body, both ovaries and cervix. Bilateral testes were noted in bilateral superficial inguinal ring. Bilateral orchidectomy was done and the patient was advised estrogen substitution therapy. Discussion CAIS is usually diagnosed at puberty, when the patient presents with primary amenorrhea. Karyotype has to be mapped in order to differentiate from other genetic disorders. Orchidectomy should be done to avoid risk of malignancy of undescended intra-abdominal testes (3.6 % at 25 years old, and 33 % at 50 years old, reported by various studies). Hormonal substitution therapy should be administered. Comprehensive psychiatric assessment and intervention go a long way in alleviating distress and enhancing quality of life. Conclusion Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome requires expert and sympathetic handling. Close collaboration between surgeon, gynaecologist and psychologist is essential for proper management of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.
