Effect of glycerol on properties of chitosan/chlorhexidine membranes and antibacterial activity against .

Introduction: Chitosan membranes with glycerol can function as an effective dispersing agent for different antibiotics or active ingredients that can be used in the treatment of diseases present in the oral cavity.

Methods: The effects of the addition of glycerol on the mechanical, water absorption, swelling, pH, thickness, disintegration, rugosity, and antibacterial properties of chitosan-chlorhexidine- glycerol membranes were investigated in this study.

Results And Discussion: Mechanical results indicated that chitosan membranes' rugosity, strength, flexion, and thickness differed at loading 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20% of glycerol ( < 0.

Increased O-GlcNAcylation promotes IGF-1 receptor/PhosphatidyI Inositol-3 kinase/Akt pathway in cervical cancer cells.

O-linked β-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) is a reversible post-translational modification on serine and threonine residues of cytosolic, nuclear and mitochondrial proteins. O-GlcNAcylation level is regulated by OGT (O-GlcNAc transferase), which adds GlcNAc on proteins, and OGA (O-GlcNAcase), which removes it. Abnormal level of protein O-GlcNAcylation has been observed in numerous cancer cell types, including cervical cancer cells.

Nonpharmacological Interventions for Pain in Patients with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders: A Systematic Review.

This systematic review aimed to compare the efficacy of nonpharmacological therapies for painful temporomandibular joint disorders. The protocol was registered on International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database (CRD42020171364). The search was performed on the electronic databases PubMed, Google Scholar, Clinical Trials, and Web of Science.

Playful Educational Intervention for Improvement of Oral Health in Children with Hearing Impairment.

Unlabelled: Dental care to vulnerable population is a pending issue in health policies due to the lack of appropriate and specialized strategies. Children with sensory deficits represent a challenge to professionals in prevention of oral diseases fundamentally due to communication problems.

Aims And Objectives: This study was conducted to compare the simplified oral hygiene index (OHI-S) before and after a playful learning intervention in children with hearing impairment between 6 years and 11 years.
