To evaluate the effects of facemask therapy on skeletal class III malocclusion in the Vietnamese population. This interventional trial enrolled a total of 31 children, dividing them into two age groups: Children aged 7 to 9 (54.8%), who were in the pre-pubescent or early mixed dentition stages, comprised one group.

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of madecassic acid-silybin conjugate compounds in liver cancer cells.

A series of 14 conjugates of 2α,3β,23-triacetyl-madecassic acid and silybin were designed and synthesized. The madecassic acid unit was linked to silybin either directly at position C-7 or C-3; or through an amino acid linker (glycine, β-alanine, or 11-aminoundecanoic acid) at position C-3. The conjugates were tested for their cytotoxic effect on HepG2 cells using the MTT assay.

Orthodontic Treatment for Borderline Class III Malocclusion in Adults: Nonextraction Treatment with Anterior Bite Turbo: A Case Report.

Retrusive upper lips, retroclined upper incisors, a shorter midface, and a larger maxillary-mandibular difference are the characteristics of borderline Class III malocclusion. Individuals with borderline Class III malocclusion frequently exhibit certain morphologic, dental, and skeletal traits, which should aid in the diagnosis of the condition. To report the case of a 22-year-old Vietnamese woman who complained of having tense front teeth and lacking confidence when smiling.

Clinical performance of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture lithium disilicate ceramic endocrown restorations: A 2-year study.

Context: Optimal restoration methods for endodontically treated teeth (ETTs) have always remained an ongoing discussion among physicians in this day and age. ETTs have a tendency to fracture when chewing, compared to initial teeth. From the perspective of biology, preserving and restoring tooth structure is critical to maintaining biomechanical, functional, and esthetic harmony.

Ethanolic extract from fruiting bodies of Cordyceps militaris HL8 exhibits cytotoxic activities against cancer cells, skin pathogenic yeasts, and postharvest pathogen Penicillium digitatum.

Cordyceps militaris is a well-known medicinal mushroom in Asian countries. This edible fungus has been widely exploited for traditional medicine and functional food production. C.

Hybrid Nanoparticle for Co-delivering Paclitaxel and Dihydroartemisinin to Exhibit Synergic Anticancer Therapeutics.

Aim: Anticancer treatment is required to provide effective and safe patient medicines. This research aided in developing and applying nanoparticles (NPs) for cancer treatment.

Background: The poor solubility of paclitaxel (PTX) restricts its therapeutic efficacy because of allergic side effects caused by formulation excipients.

Perceptions of Online Learning Implementation in Dental Education during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study of Dental School Faculty Members in Southeast Asia.

Objective: To assess the perceptions of faculty members from dental schools in Southeast Asian countries regarding the implementation of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: A previously implemented questionnaire comprising 43 questions was utilized in this study. Lecturers from four universities in Southeast Asia were invited to participate in the study.

Evaluation of Carbon Dioxide Laser-Assisted Treatment for Gingival Melanin Hyperpigmentation.

Background: Smile aesthetics has a vital role to play in an individual's life and one of the factors affecting the beauty of the smile is gingival color. A gingival color change or gingival hyperpigmentation causes an unesthetic smile line, especially in patients with a gummy smile, which is also known as a black gummy smile. Numerous gingival depigmentation methods have been performed successfully for ablating gingival melanin pigmented epithelium.

Sesquiterpenoids from the rhizomes of and their anti-inflammatory activities.

Sixteen sesquiterpenoids including two new ones, homalolides A - B ‒, were firstly isolated from the methanolic extract of the rhizomes of collected in Vietnam. The structures and relative stereochemistry of new compounds were elucidated by 1D-/2D-NMR, IR, UV and HRESIMS analyses. The GCMS experiment demonstrated that homalolide A () is an artifact due to the methylation during methanolic extraction process.

Influence of germinated brown rice-based flour modified by MAse on type 2 diabetic mice and HepG2 cell cytotoxic capacity.

This study aimed to discover whether using maltogenic amylase (MAse) to modify starch in germinated brown rice flour may enhance slow digestion starch and release more bioactive compounds (BCs) content. To achieve this aim, the starch was modified with four levels of MAse (0 U, 133 U, 266 U and 399 U MAse/g flour) for 1 hr at pH 5 and then spray-dried to make modified flour. The biochemical impacts of the products were then accessed in normal and type 2 diabetic mice for 4 weeks.

-Inositol Derivatives from Showing Inhibition of Nitric Oxide Production.

Six new -inositol derivatives (-) were isolated from the leaves of collected in Vietnam. Their chemical structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS analyses. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in the RAW 264.

Compound 1 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against the LU-1 and SK-Mel-2 cell lines with IC50 values of 4.

The conflict between in vitro release studies in human biorelevant media and the in vivo exposure in rats of the lipophilic compound fenofibrate.

The performance of four different lipid-based (Tween 80-Captex 200P, Tween 80-Capmul MCM, Tween 80-Caprol 3GO and Tween 80-soybean oil) and one commercially available micronized formulation (Lipanthyl Micronized(®)) of the lipophilic compound fenofibrate was compared in vitro in various biorelevant media and in vivo in rats. In simulated gastric fluid without pepsin (SGF(sp)) and fasted state simulated intestinal fluid (FaSSIF), only Tween 80-Captex 200P system resulted in a stable fenofibrate concentration, but no supersaturation was obtained. The other three lipid based systems created fenofibrate supersaturation; however they did not maintain it.
