Article Synopsis
- - Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a complex mental health issue characterized by instability in mood, relationships, and self-image, with genetic factors playing a significant role in its development and treatment outcomes.
- - Genetic influences account for 40-60% of the variation in BPD, with notable importance of epigenetic changes and gene-environment interactions, especially considering factors like childhood trauma.
- - Effective treatments such as dialectical behavior therapy and mentalization-based therapy show varied success potentially linked to genetic differences, highlighting the need for future research on diverse populations and personalized medicine approaches for better BPD management.
Aim: In this study, we utilized a micelle-clay complex composed of the surfactant octadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and montmorillonite clay and evaluated its antibacterial effects.
Methods: Using Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Micrococcus luteus, bactericidal assays were performed to determine the effects of ODTMA-clay complex on the viability of bacterial pathogen at various doses and different intervals of time. Cytotoxicity assays were performed to investigate ODTMA-clay complex effects on human cells, as determined by release of intracellular lactate dehydrogenase.
