Background/aim: Acid-electrolyzed functional water (FW) is an efficient bactericide and gargling with FW might be an effective method of oral care. We investigated the possible use of FW as a mouth wash by an in vitro study.
Materials And Methods: The bactericidal effect of FW against different species of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans) was evaluated using the numbers of colony-forming units (CFU). The experiment was conducted using PBS, LISTERINE, and ConCool F (undiluted, and the optimal concentration indicated). To investigate the bactericidal mechanism of FW, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), an indicator of oxidative action, was measured in S. aureus. FW was diluted with purified water to concentrations of 10, 30, 50, and 70%. The numbers of CFU were measured for each concentration. XTT assays were performed using HSC-3 and HeLa cells, to examine the viability of the cells following treatment with FW. The same experiment was conducted with PBS, LISTERINE, and undiluted ConCool F.
Results: No bacteria treated with FW formed colonies. SOD activity peaked at a 50% concentration of FW and was more than twice that of the control. A significant decrease in the number of CFU was observed following 50% treatment. Since the peaks of the SOD activity and the starting concentrations of the bactericidal effects coincided, the bactericidal effect of FW might be related to its oxidative effects. Bacteria treated with FW had the same survival rate as the other mouth washes.
Conclusion: FW might be clinically applicable as a mouth wash.

Background: Although surface finishing processes are effective against Streptococcus mutans biofilm, the mechanism of action of saliva with different acidity values has not been studied in detail. This study aims to produce four different all-ceramic materials in a single session with CAD/CAM devices and apply two different surface finishing processes, glazing and polishing, and then determine the retention of Streptococcus mutants on the surfaces of the materials in saliva with varying levels of acidity.
Methods: Zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (Vita Suprinity, Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Saöckingen, Germany), monochromatic feldspar (Vitablocs Mark 2, Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Saöckingen, Germany), leucite glass ceramic (IPS Empress CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein), and monolithic zirconia (Incoris TZI (Cerec) Sirona, Germany) were used in the study.
Influence of chlorhexidine dentin disinfection on universal adhesive performance: Interfacial adaptation and bond strength assessments.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of chlorhexidine (CHX) cavity disinfectant on interfacial microleakage and micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of a universal adhesive bonded to dentin in both self-etch (SE) and etch-and-rinse (ER) modes.
Methods: Class I cavities were prepared in the coronal dentin of extracted human teeth and assigned to two etching modes (SE or ER), then subdivided by disinfection with or without CHX (n = 5). Cavities were restored using Single Bond Universal Adhesive and Filtek Z350 XT composite.
Effect of a blood culture collection bundle on decreasing the contamination rate.
PLoS One
December 2024
Department of Respiratory Medicine, Tokoname City Hospital, Tokoname, Aichi, Japan.
In this study, we examined the effect of a bundled approach to blood collection for blood culture on decreasing contamination. Commensal organisms were considered contaminants on the basis of the clinical course if they were recovered from only a single blood draw (set) and if a positive result for two sets was not obtained within 72 hours. The main elements of the bundle were blood collection by venipuncture, skin preparation with a chlorhexidine alcohol swab, disinfection of culture bottles, and use of a sterile blood transfer device instead of the two-needle technique for inoculation.

Alzheimer's is an advanced nervous disorder related to aging. The present study aimed to determine the effect of eight-week aerobic training, along with the consumption of Linalool, Cineole, and β-Bourbonene, on the prevention and improvement of Alzheimer's disease. Mice were randomly assigned to 8 groups: control group, mice induced with Alzheimer's disease treated with β-amyloid (Alzheimer group), Alzheimer's mice treated with bioactive compounds of herbal medicine (Linalool with a concentration of 25 mg/kg, Cineole with a concentration of 100 mg/kg, and β-Bourbonene with a concentration of 10 μg/ml) by gavage for 8 weeks (Alzheimer+Biocompounds group), Alzheimer's mice treated with aerobic exercise with a moderate intensity treadmill for 8 weeks (Alzheimer's+Training group), Alzheimer's mice treated with bioactive compounds of herbal medicine and aerobic exercise for 8 weeks (Alzheimer+Biocompounds+Training group), healthy mice initially treated with bioactive compounds of herbal medication (Linalool with a concentration of 25 mg/kg, Cineol with a concentration of 100 mg/kg, and β-Bourbonene with a concentration of 0.
