AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study evaluates the effectiveness of NS oil mouth rinse in reducing oral mucositis (OM) caused by chemotherapy in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), comparing it to a control group using a "magic mouthwash."
  • - Results showed that NS oil rinse reduced the severity and incidence of OM, with lower scores in erythema, ulceration, and pain, allowing participants to eat normally during treatment.
  • - Additionally, the NS oil rinse significantly lowered levels of the inflammatory marker interleukin-6 in saliva, while changes in another marker, TNF-, were not significant.

Article Abstract

Objective: The present study aims at evaluating the beneficial effect of (NS) oil mouth rinse in the management of chemotherapy- (CT-) induced oral mucositis (OM) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Methods: Fifty-four AML patients were participated in this study and randomly allocated to either the test group or a control group. The patients of the test group received NS oil mouth rinse during 28-day CT, while the participants of the control group received a "magic mouthwash" formula. The primary outcome of this study was the incidence and severity of CT-induced OM in terms of erythema and ulcer. The secondary outcomes were the pain severity score, swallowing function, and the salivary concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-).

Results: NS oil mouth rinse attenuated the progression of CT-induced OM compared with the control formula (AUC = 5.9 vs. 38.4, < 0.05) and significantly decreased the erythema and ulceration scores (AUC of total OMAS = 11.4 vs. 85.9, < 0.001) compared with the magic mouthwash formula. It also reduced the pain score and enabled all the participants of this group to consume normal food during treatment. It significantly decreased salivary IL-6 (AUC = 7376 vs. 16599, < 0.001), while the changes of TNF- levels were not significant (AUC = 676.9 vs. 885.2, > 0.05).

Conclusions: NS oil mouth rinse is effective in attenuating the severity of CT-induced OM and improves the pain and swallowing function in AML patients.

Objectives: To compare the plaque reducing efficacy of oil pulling with sesame oil compared to distilled water in a randomized, controlled, examiner-blinded parallel group study.

Materials And Methods: Forty probands without advanced periodontal disease of the University Hospital for Restorative Dentistry and Periodontology, Medical University of Innsbruck (Austria) were randomized allocated to test- (sesame oil) or control group (distilled water) and asked to pull daily in the morning for eight weeks with their allotted fluid for 15 min. Rustogi Modified Navy Plaque Index (RMNPI) and gingival bleeding index were assessed at baseline and after four and eight weeks.

Improving the rheological and tribological properties of emulsion-filled gel by ultrasound-assisted cross-linked myofibrillar protein emulsion: Insight into the simulation of oral processing.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasound-assisted cross-linking of myofibrillar protein (MP) emulsions on the enhancement of rheological and tribological properties of emulsion-filled gel. The micro-morphology, texture, water hold capacity (WHC), chemical forces, linear shear rheological behavior, large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS), oil-released content, and simulated oral friction of the water-filled gel (WP-G), the original MP fabricated emulsion-filled gel (NP-G), the crosslinked MP fabricated emulsion-filled gel (NPG-G), and the ultrasound treated crosslinked MP fabricated emulsion-filled gel (NPGU-G) were determined. Results indicated that emulsion as filler phase significantly improved the rheological and tribological properties of the gel, especially for the ultrasound-assisted MP emulsion-filled gel (NPGU-G) group, the smaller droplet size of emulsion contributed to the density and structural uniformity of the gel.

Sodium caseinate/cellulose nanofiber-stabilized Pickering emulsions: A study on lipid absorption regulation.

This study aimed to develop a sustainable and bio-based nano-additive (sodium caseinate/cellulose nanofibers (SC/CNF) complex) to modulate liquid-based oil-in-water (O/W) colloid interfaces, which function as a fat control agent to slow lipid digestion. Edible protein (SC) was grafted onto CNF through facile electrostatic attraction, which reduces solvent and chemical usage for greener process. The physicochemical properties of SC/CNF showed that adding SC increased the interfacial bonding between CNF particles, resulting in higher interfacial pressure by forming dense and compact layers of SC/CNF.

Objective: To investigate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of 3 years after partial pulpotomy with iRoot BP Plus in immature permanent teeth with complex crown fracture and to provide refe-rence for the clinical application.

Methods: The study was prospectively designed and 104 immature permanent teeth with complex crown fracture were randomly allocated into two groups (=52). The experiment group received iRoot BP Plus as the pulp capping agent while the control group received calcium hydroxide as the pulp capping agent.

Background And Purpose: Common postoperative symptoms are known to impede recovery, indicating the necessity for non-pharmacological alternatives to address these symptoms. This study aimed to investigate the effect of an aromatic solution prepared from lavender and ginger oil on sore throat, thirst, and nausea-vomiting after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) surgery.

Materials And Methods: The trial used an experimental, double-blind randomised controlled group design with three arms.
