The differences in the number of fibroblasts and blood vessels after the topical and systemic administration of Shirota probiotics for the treatment of traumatic ulcers in Wistar rats ().

Background And Aim: The use of drugs as a therapy for traumatic ulcers may lead to drug resistance and other side effects. Shirota can affect the number of fibroblasts and blood vessels in wound healing. The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in the number of fibroblast cells and blood vessels after the topical and systemic administration of Shirota probiotics in Wistar rats with traumatic ulcer.

The Risk of Night Shift Workers to the Glucose Blood Levels, Saliva, and Dental Caries.

Objective: This study aimed to provide the correlation of circadian rhythms of night shift workers with blood glucose levels, saliva, and dental caries.

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted on night shift and nonshift workers to measure fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2-PP BG), saliva flow rate, pH saliva, and caries with the decay-missing-filled total (DMF-T) index. Data analysis was done using independent -test and correlation test with Pearson correlation.

The effect of moderate exercise on the elevation of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in oral squamous epithelial cells induced by benzopyrene.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of moderate exercise on the elevation of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio.

Materials And Methods: Eighteen strain Swiss Webster (Balb/c) were divided into three groups (n=6). K1 and K2 had contact with water 3 times/week for 12 weeks, while the members of the K3 group swam 3 times/week for 12 weeks while carrying load weighed 3% of their body weight.
