Article Synopsis
- Probiotics may have potential benefits in promoting hair growth and managing dandruff, as indicated by a comprehensive review of various studies.
- Meta-analyses showed a significant effect on hair thickness and follicle count, while effects on overall hair count and certain dandruff parameters were less clear.
- Key molecular pathways like Wnt/β-catenin and VEGF are involved in the mechanisms by which probiotics might influence hair health.
Background: Recent developments in addressing dental aesthetic concerns, encompassing issues like teeth discoloration and halitosis, underscore the demand for safer alternative solutions.
Purpose: This study aims to confirm the effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from kimchi on artificial teeth bleaching and their potential impact in terms of preventing halitosis-related bacteria.
Materials And Methods: To evaluate the antimicrobial effects against oral pathogens, disc diffusion tests and broth microdilution methods were used.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the growing problem of skin diseases caused by MRSA and explores alternative therapies using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from human milk.
- Among 26 screened bacteria, strain HM20 showed significant antibacterial activity against MRSA and was identified through genetic sequencing.
- The findings indicated that HM20’s antimicrobial properties stem from its production of organic acids, hydrogen peroxide, and bacteriocins, which damaged the cell walls of the bacteria tested, suggesting its potential for treating antibiotic-resistant skin infections.
is generally grown in fields or roadsides in Korea and used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. The effects of on periodontitis are unknown. In this study, we determined the effects of an 30% EtOH extract (SGE) on periodontitis and analyzed the antioxidant activity (DPPH, ABTS, and SOD), antimicrobial (disc diffusion, MIC, and MBC), inhibition of GTFs, biofilm formation, and the anti-inflammation of lipopolysaccharide from (LPS-PG)-induced primary equine periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs).
