- چکیده انگلیسی: The liver is continuously exposed to a variety of xenobiotics. Several xenobiotics are identified which act as hepatotoxicants. Hence, finding protective agents for ameliorating xenobiotics-included liver injury has a great value. Eisenia foetida, a kind of “earthworm,” is a source of a wide range of bioactive components. Several investigations have been evaluated the E. foetida extract (EFX) for biomedical and nutritional applications. The current study was designed to evaluate the potential hepatoprotective properties of EFX in two experimental models of hepatic damage. Acetaminophen (APAP; 1 g/kg, i.p) was administered as the animal model of acute liver injury in mice. Bile duct ligated (BDL) rats were used as the animal model of chronic hepatic damage. Severe elevation in tissue biomarkers of oxidative stress including lipid peroxidation and hepatic glutathione depletion was evident in both APAP-treated and BDL animals. Moreover, serum biomarkers of liver injury were drastically increased in both acute and chronic animal models of hepatotoxicity. Significant liver tissue histopathological alterations including tissue necrosis, vascular congestion, and inflammatory cells infiltration were detected in APAP-treated and BDL animals. On the other hand, it was found that EFX supplementation (100, 200, 500, and 700 mg/kg, i.p) mitigated oxidative stress markers, decreased serum biomarkers of liver injury, and alleviated liver tissue histopathological changes. The hepatoprotection provided by EFX supplementation in the current study might be mediated through its potential antioxidative mechanisms.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Objective(s): Chlorhexidine 0.2% mouthwash is commonly used in orthodontic patients for plaque control. But it has some side effects. Metal oxide nanoparticles have been recently used in mouthwashes in reports. So we aimed to evaluate antibacterial effect of ZnO and Ag/ZnO nanoparticles against Streptococcus mutans and compare them with chlorhexidine 0.2%, sodium fluoride 0.05% and some of their compositions.
Materials and Methods: ZnO and Ag/ZnO NPs were synthesized and sixteen groups of mouthwashes were prepared. We used Zone of Inhibition (ZOI) test to evaluation of antibacterial effects of as-prepared mouthwashes, against S. mutans. The cytotoxicity of the ZnO and Ag/ZnO NPs were investigated in the A549 cell line.
Results: Among the study groups, the maximum ZOI (16.60±0.49 mm) pertained to Ag/ZnO, 10 mg NPs plus 100 ml base material, (Ag/ZnO b 10). The results indicate that no significant harmful effect is imposed to the cells up to 0.2 mg/ml of ZnO and Ag/ZnO NPs.
Conclusion: Results showed that mouthwash containing Ag/ZnO b 10 has the highest antibacterial properties against S .mutans amoung study groups and because in this concentration it is safe for cells, so it can be served as an alternative mouthwash in plaque control instead of chlorhexidine 0.2% after in vivo studies.- انتشار مقاله: 06-11-1396

- چکیده انگلیسی: Statement of the Problem: Lichen planus disease is a chronic inflammatory lesion without a known etiology. Recent studies have indicated the role of vitamin D on immune system and proposed its anti-inflammatory effects.Purpose: This study aimed to compare vitamin D serum levels in patients with oral lichen planus and healthy subjects.Materials and Method: In this case‒control study, 18 patients suffering from oral lichen planus referred to the Department of Oral Medicine, Tabriz Faculty of Dentistry were chosen as the case group and 18 healthy people were chosen as the control group. A 5-mL blood sample was taken from all subjects and the subjects’ vitamin D serum levels were assessed with a vitamin D total (25-hydroxy vitamin D) kit by employing the electrochemiluminescence technique. The results were analyzed and compared by using SPSS17 statistic software. p< 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean vitamin D level in serum of patients with oral lichen planus was 30.7±20.38ng/ml and in healthy subjects was 36.45± 15.33ng/ml, the difference was not statistically significant (p= 0.346). Conclusion: The difference between the level of vitamin D in the serum of patients suffering from oral lichen planus and healthy individuals was not significant.Key Words Lichen Planus; Oral; Vitamin D; Serum;
