Methods: A total of 845 patients referred to our hospital for removable dentures were selected. All of the patients were totally or partially edentulous. The patients had clinical and radiographic examinations. All of the radiographs were evaluated for significant radiographic findings as follows: retained root fragments, embedded teeth, radio-lucencies, radio-opacities, maxillary sinus position and the location of the mental foramen. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Positive radiographic findings were found in 40.47% of the patients who referred for removable prosthesis. Totally 84 retained roots were found in 74 patients; 64 (%76.2) of them have only one, and 10 (%11.9) have two retained roots. A total of 49 impacted teeth were found in 42 patients. According to our evaluation, 4.1% of patients (n = 35; female 17, male 18) have one; 0.8% of patients (n = 7; female 3, male 4) have two embedded teeth. Migrated sinus floor to the alveolar ridge was the most observed finding (37.5%), followed by resorption of alveolar ridge (4.5% of the patients, n = 38) in mental region. Moreover, 16 soft tissue calcifications, 12 osteosclerosis and 11 foreign bodies were found. Conclusions: Radiographic examination is crucial for pre-prosthetic evaluation on partially or totally edentulous patients that should considered as the first step to avoid the repetition of prosthetic rehabilitation, time waste, prestige loss and high treatment costs.","PeriodicalId":16091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental and Integrative Medicine","volume":"127 1","pages":"220-226"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84010629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study histochemically evaluated the activity of mucus secreting cells and determined the concentration of nitric oxide (NO) in ethanol injured pylorus and duodenum of rats pretreated with ethanol extract of Moringa oleifera (MO) leaves. Methods: Male adult rats were randomly assigned into five groups: group A served as control; group B received single dose of 5 ml/kg ethanol orally; group C received 200 mg/kg MO only orally for five days; group D and E received MO at 200 mg/kg and cimetidine at 100 mg/kg orally for five days, respectively, and then ethanol was administered at 5 ml/kg orally on the 6th day to these groups. Results: Ethanol significantly reduced NO concentration in pylorus, and this was attenuated with MO pretreatment. Pretreatment with both MO and cimetidine significantly attenuated the hemorrhagic injuries induced by ethanol. Pretreatment with MO increased activity of mucus secreting cells compared to ethanol only group. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that the antiulcer activity of Moringa oleifera may be attributed to preservation of mucus secreting cells and maintenance of endogenous NO concentrations in ethanol injured gastroduodenal tissues.","PeriodicalId":16091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental and Integrative Medicine","volume":"129 1","pages":"123-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75483581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondary preventive measures for diabetic neuropathy with delaying, stopping or even reversing progressive course of neuropathy, pain control and prevention of ulceration can play important role in diabetic patients care. Oxidative stress plays an important role in pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy. Treatments for diabetic neuropathy have been mainly focused on two purposes, pain control and repair of nerve injury. Therapeutic options for nerve injuries may not improve or even exacerbate painful symptoms. On the other hand most of treatments for pain control have little or no effect on nerve function. As a result of mentioned discrepancy between ‘nerve protection’ and ‘pain control’ in the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy, it is hypothesized that Citrullus colocynthis as a therapeutic agent with simultaneous antioxidative and anesthetic effects can play an important role in treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy. Previous in vitro and animal studies of C.colocynthis demonstrated its ‘antioxidative’, ‘anesthetic’ and ‘antiulcerogenic’ effects. A randomized controlled double-blind clinical trial is needed to evaluate this hypothesis. © 2014 GESDAV","PeriodicalId":16091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental and Integrative Medicine","volume":"223 1","pages":"9-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80024041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A parallel, randomized placebo-controlled, single-blind, pre- and post-test trial was conducted in the National Institute of Unani Medicine Hospital. The patients (n = 60) were randomly allocated to either test (n = 30) or control group (n = 30). In the test and placebo group, equal quantity of C.scariosus and B.serrata (4 g powder in two divided doses) plus pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and placebo plus PFMT, respectively, was given for 8 weeks. The outcome was to assess HRQOL by International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF). Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon Matched paired, Chi-square or Fisher Exact tests were used to analyze the results. Results: The mean ICIQ-SF score in the test and control group at baseline was 10.2 ± 0.96 and 10.13 ± 0.89 respectively. At post-intervention, statistically significant improvement was recorded in the ICIQ-SF scores between groups. In addition, within the group comparison was statistically significant in both groups at each follow up. The percentage improvement from baseline at 12 weeks was 70% and 53% in the test and control groups, respectively. No adverse effects were noted. Conclusion: The test group yielded a more positive effect with regards to improvement in HRQOL than control group in women with stress urinary incontinence. Hence, test drugs plus PFMT appear to be a better alternative than PFMT alone.","PeriodicalId":16091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental and Integrative Medicine","volume":"78 1","pages":"212-219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76116560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the brain gets hotter, the veins of this radiator system bring in cool blood from the evaporating surfaces of skin and craniofacial cavities. The craniofacial regions important in brain cooling system are very similar to the regions washed or wetted with ablution. So washing the face, oral and nasal cavities, and wetting scalp, ears and nape 4-5 times a day help the brain to remain cool throughout the day. This obviously means that with ablution cooler the head, healthier the brain. However, when a person is erect, the basal surface of the brain is in close contact with the cranial bones and therefore cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) could not cool the basal parts of the brain in erect position. Of course the relations of CSF to the skull and the brain are reversed when a person stoops (such as bowing and prostrating) allowing the CSF to intervene between the brain and the skull. Therefore stooping (as Muslims do about 120 times a day with prayer) would be beneficial for cooling the brain entirely by providing the CSF to wash-up the basal parts of brain. As for the other benefits of prayer, grounding is another aspect which provides a basis that restores and maintains natural electrical contact between the human body and the earth.","PeriodicalId":16091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental and Integrative Medicine","volume":"33 1","pages":"147-149"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77308197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical ingredients of Ipomoea carnea Jacq leaves extracts and its antidiabetic potential in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in Wistar rats. Methods: Diabetes was induced by single intra-peritoneal injection of STZ at a dose of 60 mg/kg body weigt (BW). The onset of diabetes happened within 5 days post-injection. Antidiabetic potential of different extracts were evaluated at the dose rate of 500 mg/kg BW through oral gavage continuously for 3 weeks in rats. Phytochemical ingredients like total phenolic, flavonoid and tannin contents were determined in hot, cold aqueous and alcoholic extracts of I.carnea leaves. Results: Alcoholic extract presented marked higher phenolic, flavonoid and tannin contents as compared to aqueous extracts. Repeated oral administration of extracts significantly decreases the blood glucose, plasma triglyceride, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein level and increased high density lipoprotein level in rats as compared to the diabetic control group rats. Further, alcoholic extract showed better hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects than the aqueous extracts; this may be due to the presence of significantly higher levels of phenols and flavonoids. Conclusion: Observations of the study suggested that I.carnea leaf extracts have antidiabetic potential in rats. The antidiabetic potential of extracts may be due to the high content of phenols and flavonoids. © 2014 GESDAV","PeriodicalId":16091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental and Integrative Medicine","volume":"24 1","pages":"137-142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80577982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
