Aim: This study evaluated the efficacy and cytotoxicity of 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP) gel incorporated with 10% (w/w) biosilicate (BioS) on sound enamel and early-stage enamel erosion lesions.
Methods: Discs of enamel/dentin were selected, subjected to erosive cycles (0.3% citric acid, pH 2.6), and treated with (n = 8): HP (35% HP, positive control); HP_BioS [carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) + HP + BioS]; BioS (CMC + BioS); CMC (negative control). The discs were adapted to artificial pulp chambers with the enamel exposed for bleaching, and the dentin facing toward the culture medium (Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium [DMEM]). Bleaching was performed in three 30-min sessions at 7-day intervals. After bleaching, the diffusion product (DMEM extract + diffused HP) was pipetted onto MDPC-23 odontoblastic cell line and inoculated. Color parameters (ΔL, Δa, Δb), color change (ΔE), and changes in whiteness index (ΔWI) were determined before (T) and after the last bleaching session (T). Cell viability (MTT, %), HO diffusion (μg/mL), oxidative cell stress (OxS), and cell fluorescence (live/dead assay, in confocal microscopy) were assessed (ANOVA/Tukey; α = 0.05).
Results: No difference in ΔL, Δa, Δb, ΔE, and ΔWI were found between HP and HP_BioS (p > 0.05). The incorporation of BioS decreased the HP diffusion into the substrates and mitigated oxidative stress in early-stage eroded enamel (p < 0.05). HP_BioS presented significantly higher cell viability compared with HP under erosion conditions. Live/dead assay indicated that BioS_HP maintained viability with larger clusters of viable cells.
Conclusion: Incorporating BioS into HP maintained bleaching effectiveness, favored cell viability, reduced the oxidative stress, and the cytotoxicity in teeth with early-stage erosion.
Clinical Significance: BioS formulation showed promising results for reducing cytotoxicity in patients seeking tooth bleaching and presenting undetectable early-stage erosion.

Cryptides are a subfamily of bioactive peptides embedded latently in their parent proteins and have multiple biological functions. Cationic cryptides could be used as modern drugs in both infectious diseases and cancers because their mechanism of action is less likely to be affected by genetic mutations in the treated cells, therefore addressing a current unmet need in these two areas of medicine. In this review, we present the current understanding of cryptides, methods to mine them sustainably using available online databases and prediction tools, with a particular focus on their antimicrobial and anticancer potential, and their potential applicability in a clinical setting.

Cryptides are a subfamily of bioactive peptides that exist in all living organisms. They are latently encrypted in their parent sequences and exhibit a wide range of biological activities when decrypted via in vivo or in vitro proteases. Cationic cryptides tend to be drawn to the negatively charged membranes of microbial and cancer cells, causing cell death through various mechanisms.

In developing countries, low-cost control and treatment programs that offer combined approaches against diseases and their vectors are certainly needed. Ivermectin (IVM) has been well known for its role in the treatment of parasitic diseases, due to its effect on glutamate-gated chloride channels. These same channels are also present in the mosquito vector, and thus, research has focused on the insecticidal effects of this drug.

Recurrence of cystic echinococcosis as a result of treatment failure is frequently reported to cause a major problem in management of such serious parasitic infection. The deeply seated innermost germinal layer of hydatid cysts is a relatively delicate layer, yet responsible for viability maintenance of this parasitic stage. In this study, a trial was done to explore the ultrastructural changes in germinal and laminated layer of the hydatid cyst for the first time in human cases exposed to different therapeutic approaches which were done earlier to the final open surgical intervention.
