An evaluation of three fissure sealants microleakage with presence or absence of bonding agent through time intervals (In vitro study)
...Show More Authors

Background: Pit and fissure sealant have been considered an outstanding adjunct to oral health care in the decrease of occlusal caries onset and low progression. The aims of this in vitro study were to evaluate the marginal microleakage of three different types of fissure sealants (SDI, Tg and tetric N-flow) by time interval, one day and 45 days, in the presence or absence of bonding agent among maxillary and mandibular teeth. Materials and methods: Seventy two sound human maxillary and mandibular first premolar teeth were collected which were free from obvious carious lesions. The teeth were randomly divided into two main equal groups, group (1) and group (2), each group consists of (36) teeth involving equal numbers of maxillary and mandibular teeth. The first group incubated for one day, the second incubated for (45) days. Each group divided into two subgroup; one of them treated with bonding agent while the other without. Then each subgroup was treated with three different materials which were; Tg sealant (without fluoride) group (A), SDI sealant (containing fluoride) group (B) and Tetric N-flow (flowable composite) group (C). Each one consist of six teeth involving three maxillary and three mandibular. Then dye penetration tested by using methylene blue dye, then the teeth cleaned and sectioned by sectioning device and tested under microscope. Results, the results had shown that, group (C+) in both incubation periods have no microleakage (score 0), but there was an opposite effect when using bonding agent with sealant materials not containing filler particles that showed a significant increase in the microleakage rate as shown in groups (A+ and B+). The opposite effect was seen also when used sealant materials containing filler particles but without bonding agent that seen in group (C) during both incubation periods that showed significant increasing in microleakage rate. While the effect of fluoride was very clear in decreasing significantly the microleakage rate after (45) days of incubation in both groups that treated with and without bonding agent (groups B and B+). Concerning the anatomical variation, there were no significant changes in most groups regarding the microleakage rate. Conclusions: Results had shown that the microleakage can be prevented by using of flowable composite containing nanofillers that treated with bonding agent after etching of enamel with 35% phosphoric acid gel.

Formulation Development of Meloxicam Binary Ethosomal Hydrogel for Topical Delivery: In Vitro and In Vivo Assessment
...Show More Authors

Abstract: The article aimed to formulate an MLX binary ethosome hydrogel for topical delivery to escalate MLX solubility, facilitate dermal permeation, avoid systemic adverse events, and compare the permeation flux and efficacy with the classical type. MLX ethosomes were prepared using the hot method according to the Box–Behnken experimental design. The formulation was implemented according to 16 design formulas with four center points. Independent variables were (soya lecithin, ethanol, and propylene glycol concentrations) and dependent variables (vesicle size, dispersity index, encapsulation efficiency, and zeta potential). The design suggested the optimized formula (MLX−Ethos−OF) with the highest desirability to perform the

Zinc modifies the effect of phyto-oestrogens on osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation in vitro
...Show More Authors

Osteoblast and osteoclast activity is disrupted in post-menopausal osteoporosis. Thus, to fully address this imbalance, therapies should reduce bone resorption and promote bone formation. Dietary factors such as phyto-oestrogens and Zn have beneficial effects on osteoblast and osteoclast activity. However, the effect of combinations of these factors has not been widely studied. We therefore examined the effect of coumestrol, daidzein and genistein in the presence or absence of zinc sulphate (Zn) on osteoclast and osteoblast activity. Osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption were significantly reduced by coumestrol (10- 7 m), daidzein (10- 5 m) and genistein (10- 7 m); and this direct anti-osteoclastic action was unaffected by Zn (10-

Measurement of Pollution Level with Particulate Matter in Babylon Concrete Plant and Evaluation of Oxidative Stress and Hematological Profile of Plant Workers
...Show More Authors

The impact of exposure to different sizes of particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM7, and PM10) was evaluated in  Babylon concrete plant workers who had been exposed to concrete dust for at least 10 years.  The effects of  these particles on the hematological parameters, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and  antioxidant enzymes (catalase and glutathione peroxidase ) were examined. The results exhibited that the levels of PM2.5 and PM10 were higher than the acceptable limits approved by the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The blood parameters, namely white blood cells (WBC), red blood cell (RBC) and platelets counts, demonstrated non-significant differences between workers exposed to the PM as compared to the control gro
