Vascular reactivity may be influenced by the dysfunction of the perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) that occurs after a prolonged high fat diet (HFD). 
 Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the vascular responses in rats with prolonged HFD after the administration of Cornus mas L. extract as a simple solution or as a reducing agent for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). 
 Methods. Sprague-Dawley adult female rats (21 animals) were randomly allocated into three groups (n=7) and received for 9 months hyperlipid diet, the last month with treatment administered through oral gavage, 0.5 mL/day of solution as follows: HFD group - 0.9% saline solution, HFD+CM group - Cornus mas L. extract (0.158 mg/mL polyphenols), HFD+AuNPsCM group - gold nanoparticles phytoreduced with Cornus mas L. extract (AuNPsCM, 260 μg Au/kg/day). The Control group of rats (n=7) was fed with standard diet and in the last month received 0.9% saline solution as treatment. At the end of the experiment, the rats’ descending aortas were collected and were used to investigate the aorta wall responses to vasoconstrictor (phenylephrine) and vasodilator (acetylcholine) substances added in tissue bath. 
 Results. AuNPsCM administration, compared to Control and HFD groups, increased the contraction and reduced the relaxation in aorta rings of rats with prolonged high-fat diet. The simple solution of Cornus mas L. extract produced contractile responses similar to those recorded in the Control group, at lower levels than in HFD group, and relaxation responses significantly decreased in comparison with Control group and significant increased when compared to HFD group. 
 Conclusions. Cornus mas L. extract administered as simple solution improved the aorta functions, while AuNPsCM solution enhanced the existed aorta wall modifications occurred after prolonged HFD, altering the vessel wall responses.

Platelet concentrates are currently being researched for their potential to enhance bone formation. 
 Aim. The aim of this study is to quantitatively evaluate and compare bone regeneration in periapical lesions using a combination of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) + β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) + β-TCP. 
 Methods. Ten subjects with periapical lesions measuring 10-20 mm in relation to maxillary incisors indicated for periapical surgery were selected. Pre-operative bone density values at the periapical region were measured using CBCT. Root canal treatment was completed appropriately in all cases. Under adequate local anesthesia, periapical surgery was performed. The 10 subjects were distributed into two groups of 5 subjects in each group. Group I: Periapical bone defect filled with PRP + β-TCP and Group II: Periapical bone defect filled with PRF + β-TCP. The mucoperiosteal flaps were repositioned and sutured. Bone density evaluation of the periapical region was done 6 months and 1 year after surgery using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The Hounsfield unit (HU) values obtained were subjected to statistical analysis by Independent samples t-test for inter-group comparison. The intra-group comparison was done by repeated measure ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc tests. 
 Results. In Group I and Group II, a statistically significant difference was observed at the end of 6 months and 1 year, when compared to the pre-operative values (P=0.000). There was no statistically significant difference in bone density values between the PRP + β-TCP and PRF + β-TCPgroups at both 6 months and 1-year post-operative observation periods. 
 Conclusion. PRP + β-TCP and PRF + β-TCP were equally effective in promoting bone regeneration and can be considered valuable bioactive surgical additives for enhancement of healing in periapical bone defects.","PeriodicalId":18438,"journal":{"name":"Medicine and Pharmacy Reports","volume":"406 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135266260","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}

NAFLD may represent the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome (MS), with a prevalence directly proportional to the prevalence of obesity and MS. The standard treatment for patients with NAFLD is lifestyle modification, which in medical practice has many limitations. To overcome them, numerous drugs with benefits in the prevention and treatment of the disease have been studied. Currently, the most used substances are vitamin E and Pioglitazone, with numerous benefits. Furthermore, new strategies and beneficial treatments are needed for the prevention of the disease, which is currently a priority in both the health and research fields.
