In three new studies, researchers found that hydrogen peroxide, the active ingredient in over-the-counter whitening strips, can damage the protein-rich dentin tissue found beneath the tooth’s protective enamel.

Undergraduates working in the laboratory of Kelly Keenan, PhD, associate professor of chemistry at Stockton University in New Jersey, will present this research at the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology annual meeting during the 2019 Experimental Biology meeting to be held April 6-9 in Orlando, Fla.

The tooth is made of three layers: the outer tooth enamel, an underlying dentin layer and connective tissue that binds the roots to the gum. Most studies of whitening strips have focused on tooth enamel, which contains very little protein. Kennan’s research team focuses on dentin, which makes up most of the tooth and has high levels of protein, most of which is collagen.

It is well established that hydrogen peroxide can penetrate the enamel and dentin. Previous work by the researchers showed that collagen in the dentin layer decreased when teeth were treated with whitening strips.

“We sought to further characterize what the hydrogen peroxide was doing to collagen,” said Keenan. “We used entire teeth for the studies and focused on the impact hydrogen peroxide has on the proteins.”

In the new work, the researchers demonstrated that the major protein in the dentin is converted to smaller fragments when treated with hydrogen peroxide. In additional experiments, they treated pure collagen with hydrogen peroxide and then analyzed the protein using a gel electrophoresis laboratory technique that allows the protein to be visualized.

“Our results showed that treatment with hydrogen peroxide concentrations similar to those found in whitening strips is enough to make the original collagen protein disappear, which is presumably due to the formation of many smaller fragments,” said Keenan.

The researchers point out that their experiments did not address whether collagen and other proteins in the teeth can be regenerated, so it is unknown if the tooth damage is permanent. Next, they plan to further characterize the protein fragments released when collagen is treated with hydrogen peroxide and determine if hydrogen peroxide has the same impact on other proteins in the teeth.

A Nigerian film maker and actor, Femi Ogedengbe, has taken to social media to narrate on behalf of a victim - his horrifying experience at the hands of gunmen alleged to be Fulani herdsmen over the weekend in Edo state.

Read the lengthy piece he shared on his Instagram page yesterday.

Oh Nigeria ! I weep… ARMED ROBBERY AND KIDNAPPING BY ARMED FULANI HERDSMEN ON ORE-BENIN EXPRESSWAY - OFOSU (INCIDENT HAPPENED AROUND 3 PM LAST SATURDAY MARCH 16, 2019). For my personal safety and to avoid a reprisal or repeat attack, God forbid, let me call myself Barrister A.

I was on my way to Jattu, near Auchi in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State Nigeria for my younger sister's traditional marriage billed to take place in Jattu.

I set out from Lagos and was having a very smooth ride until I entered Edo State. At Ofusu just before Okada Town, I noticed that the cars and tipper in front were driving in a zigzag manner. I applied my brakes and a sienna car that was beside me Also tried to brake and hit me on my side and forced me to hit the keb we struggled until the vehicles came to a halt. I raised my head to find out what was happening and got the scare of my life. Young Fulani men armed with AK47 riffles were shooting at us. I tried to reverse my car they were also behind shooting. A large number of vehicles were trapped in between.

As I tried to open my door one of them came to my side pointing an AK47 at me. I quickly raised up my hands and pleaded with him not to shoot. I gave him my wallet which he collected and put in his pocket.

As I was alighting from my car another Fulani man charged at me with his dagger. I begged him not to stab me. He pushed me to the side of the road and into the bush. They also took other people hostage.

We met the other abductees on the way lying face down. There were two women and five men. The men were being beaten with heavy sticks. They rode past them and took me to a tomatoes farm. I came down and was asked to sit down. I immediately obeyed. They warned me to stop looking at their faces or else they would kill me. I begged for my life like I have fever done before.

While seated one of them came to me told me "oga we done kidnap you and your money na N100 million". Unconsciously laughter escaped from my mouth and the guy said "oga if you laugh again I go kill you". I said "sorry oga na mistake I no laugh no vex". He asked how much I was ready to pay as ransom? I told him that I did not have money but that I could ask my brother to raise N500,000 for them. The guy said I was mad and that they did not come to the road for that kind of money and that the last they would take is N50million and that if I refused to pay they would kill me. I kept pleading.

They continued questioning all the abductees. I kept reciting Psalms 91 and 23 and was praying seriously under my breath. At a point they left us alone and went a distance from us. They were making calls.

Suddenly they returned and asked who could ride a bike amongst us. A young man amongst us said he could ride. One if them came to me and said take your phone. He returned one of my three phones taken from me. I could not believe my ears. He gave it to me and asked me to pocket it , and I did.

The young man started the bike and the instructed two of my co-abductees to carry me on the bike and said we should go straight that we will hit the Express road. The eight if us were released just like that. It was divine intervention. The release was after over three hours with them.

Even Buhari himself cannot stop us from voting him😎 Our Blood was HOT... He must take us to Next LEVEL 🔜😁 insha Allah

incomplete dream!!go back to sleep for the part2

HenryDion:


I was once a heavy stutterer, like, i use to struggle to spurt out just one word. What helped me was working on my self confidence cause i discovered it is more intense when i want to talk to someone i perceive as superior or better than me. But when i regained confidence, my speech improved.

Another trick that helped me was being relaxed no matter the situation. Sometimes we are in a haste to let the words out. By relaxing and breathing normal, without pressure, you will speak flawlessly.

Another tip is synonyms. There are words which might be hard to let out, instead of embarrassing myself, i go with another word immediately. Trying to demonstrate using your hands works awesomely well too.

Try a lot of things. Have you ever wondered why you don't stammer when talking to yourself? Or singing? Or even talking to a kid? It is more of psychological i think and having known that, you will overcome. Today, you will never know I'm a stammerer. Although i do stammer like once, in every 100th word.

If you need someone to talk to, you can DM.

Peace brother!

your whatsap number plss..or u may pls take mine..07035499624

1. Jos - The plateau state capital is by far more popular than the state itself. It is one of the most conducive state for foreigners who'd like to settle for a cold environment. Many whites have found home away from home in Jos because of its cold weather. Religious clashes have however made it a volatile zone over the years. Some readers of this post may have heard of Jos but never heard of plateau.

2. Ibadan - The biggest capital of any state in Nigeria, It is big enough to be made a state of its own. Many Nigerians who have never known or heard of Oyo have heard of Ibadan. Like i said many even think its a state of its own.

3. Calabar - The historic importance of the Cross Rivers capital has made it a cynosure of both local and international tourists. Calabar's rich history dates back to the first encounters of the Europeans with our forefathers. It was in the city of Calabar that oba Ovbuoramwen was taken to and executed after he was captured in Benin kingdom after which they left through the Calabar river.

Also remember the "Edet lives in Calabar. He is eight years old" story in out readers back in the days? Calabar is the people's paradise. A home of nature's splendour.

4. Porthacourt - The oil rich city is home to everything that be in Rivers state. Porthacourt seems to be the only known place in the state as other cities have little or no importance socially, economically and politically. Porthacourt is one of the most densely populated cities in Nigeria and one of the foremost commercial hub in the country.

,5. Benin City- Home to one of the most powerful and respected king in Nigeria- The Oba of Benin, this ancient city is a household name. I have personally heard people talk about Benin with so much fear as they feel it its a very diabolic city. Benin City is well known for its rich cultural heritage. A strong custodian of African arts and crafts. It also offer passage from one state to other states of the countryb because it is strategically positioned in between the North, South east, West and South south.

Feel free to add yours....

So you think all those portharcot and benin city u mentioned are more popular than Aba, and Zaria

Security operatives who were deployed across Kaduna state following the crisis have arrested a church security guard for being in possession of military outfits.

It was gathered that officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) apprehended the security guard identified as Mr. James for wearing a military uniform.

When a search was conducted at his home, additional six sets of military uniform were also found.

He was immediately taken into custody as investigation into the matter has been launched. 

Meanwhile, the Kaduna State Government has eased off the 24-hour curfew on Kaduna metropolis, giving residents between 1pm to 5pm  “to restock on essentials”.

A student killed seventeen people and injured at least 40 in a gun rampage at his school in Crimea today.

Vladislav Roslyakov, 18, stalked his college halls with a rifle, shooting 17 dead and then killing himself in the school library.

The teenager, who is thought to have obtained his gun with a hunting licence, also set off a homemade nail-bomb in the canteen which blew out the windows but did not kill anyone, according to reports.
Video showed terrified students running and screaming during the attack on Kerch Polytechnic College where the shooter was a fourth-year pupil.

One student said: 'There was a guy with a gun and shooting everyone he could find.' Another added: 'The walls were covered in blood, we climbed the fence to escape.'

Dozens of soldiers rushed to the school suspecting a terrorist attack but Russian police later described the killing as mass-murder.

Bloody victims, most of whom were teenagers, were seen being taken to hospital in ambulances and minibuses.

The director of the college said: 'There were lots of corpses, corpses of kids.'
