A deficiency of ascorbic acid results in scurvy, a disease character ized by sore, spongy gums, loose teeth, fragile blood vessels, swollen joints, and anemia (Figure 28.9). Many of the deficiency symptoms can be explained by a deficiency in the hydroxylation of collagen, resulting in defective connective tissue.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) functions as an antioxidant and as a cofactor for hydroxyla tion reactions in procollagen. A deficiency of vitamin C results in scurvy, a disease char acterized by sore, spongy gums, loose teeth, and poor wound healing. There is no known toxicity for this vitamin. 

Symptoms of deficiency include loose teeth and bleeding gums, bruises, loss of appetite, dry skin, poor healing. In extreme cases, scurvy and internal hemorrhages. 

Young Alexander had grinned at his friend s impatience and joked that Kutuzov was only keeping his most ferocious hounds chained until Bonaparte himself showed his face through the trees. To which Padorin had merely ground his teeth in forced good humour and warned of dire consequences for the Frenchies when he was set loose.

The structural role of calcium in bones and teeth is well known, but many proteins owe their structural integrity to the presence of metal ions that tie together and make rigid certain portions of these large molecules, portions that would otherwise be only loosely linked. Metal ions particularly known to do this are Ca2+ and Zn2+.

Bucket elevators. The bucket elevators lift catalyst, at 900-1000°F., about 200 ft. Each elevator consists of two chains with a continuous line of alloy-steel buckets loosely supported between them (217). The upper shaft is fixed in position but the bottom shaft can move to offset thermal expansion and wear of the chain. Chain speeds are 90 to 125 ft./minute at catalyst-circulation rates of 100 to 150 tons/hour. Power requirement is 60 to 80 horsepower (241). Differential band brakes protect against reverse rotation in case of a power failure. Sprockets with renewable teeth were used at first (217), but a traction-wheel drive was later substituted because wear is more evenly distributed and life is longer (241). Repair techniques have been developed for extending chain life (316). Graphite is used to lubricate the chains (239). The upper shaft and main bearings are water-cooled and the bearings are lubricated with oil. 

Mercury is an accumulative poison. Its toxicity depends on its form. Symptoms may start rapidly after acute exposure to high air concentrations of mercury vapor, and can include fever, chills, and nausea. In severe cases (e.g., as a consequence of heating), pulmonary edema may cause death within a few days. Acute exposure to mercury vapor can also produce bronchitis and interstitial pneumonitis. The toxicity of mercuric chloride (i.e., corrosive sublimate) has been well established. Oral ingestion causes severe abdominal cramps, possible ulceration and bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract, and a bloody diarrhea. Loose teeth are noted and hepatitis has been recorded. Nephritis is common if the renal tubes are extensively damaged, it could lead to a...

Periodontal disease describes a mixture of diseases in which the periodontal attachment is destroyed, resulting in loose teeth that may exfoliate. Periodontitis is divided into chronic and aggressive forms that are localized or generahzed (affect few or many teeth). Chronic periodontitis is very common (Sects. 13.1.2-13.4.3), whereas aggressive periodontitis is rare (Chap. 14). The collagen fibers of the gingiva and periodontium are described in Chap. 3 (Sect. 3.1.5), and its epithelial cover in Chap. 5 (Sect. 5.2.3).
