Influence of osmolality and composition of some storage media on human periodontal ligament cells. 1982

S Lindskog, and L Blomlöf

The effect of media with different osmolalities and compositions on cell viability and integrity of the cell membrane has been studied. Physiologic media, such as milk, saline and physiologic sucrose solution, preserved cell viability and membrane morphology equally well. The cell membrane of cells stored in saliva was more extensively damaged than the cell membrane of cells stored in a sucrose solution with an hypotonic osmolality similar to saliva. Thus a hypotonic osmolality seemed to potentiate the damaging effect of an unfavourable composition or a bacterial contamination of the storage media.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY. Scanning Electron Microscopy,Electron Scanning Microscopy,Electron Microscopies, Scanning,Electron Microscopy, Scanning,Electron Scanning Microscopies,Microscopies, Electron Scanning,Microscopies, Scanning Electron,Microscopy, Electron Scanning,Microscopy, Scanning Electron,Scanning Electron Microscopies,Scanning Microscopies, Electron,Scanning Microscopy, Electron
