Effect of Chemical Denture Disinfectants and Tree Extracts on Biofilm-forming and Viridans Species Isolated from Complete Denture.

Aims: The present study aims at recording the antibacterial efficacy of various disinfectants used at different time periods against and viridans streptococcal species of bacteria isolated from complete dentures.

Materials And Methods: Fifty complete denture patients were selected for the study and swabs were collected from their complete denture surfaces. The isolated bacteria were subjected to six experimental groups which includes four groups of chemical denture disinfectants and two tree extracts groups.

Protective effect of glutathione against isoproterenol induced myocardial injury in rats.

Though there are studies to show protective effect of glutathione against neurotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, the present study was designed to investigate the cardio protective effect of glutathione against isoproterenol induced myocardial infarction in rats by demonstrating the changes in serum cardiac markers, antioxidant enzymes and ECG changes. Wistar male rats were randomly divided into four groups namely control (GI), glutathione (GII), isoproterenol (GIII) and glutathione + isoproterenol treated (GIV). Glutathione treated group-received glutathione (200 mg/kg body wt) orally for 30 days.
