To mitigate the potential for bacterial infections and subsequent difficulties, it is customary for patients to receive a prescription for antibiotics prior to undergoing a root canal procedure. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Ca(OH)2: TiO2 nanoparticles as a potential substitute for antibiotics in root canal therapies, while also investigating their antibacterial properties against specific infections. Materials and Methods: Ca (OH)2: TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized chemically using calcium hydroxide and varying concentrations of titanium oxide powder by a sol-gel process. The Ca (OH)2: TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized was characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR), and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized nanoparticles was evaluated against pathogens Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans spp.) by gel diffusion method. Results: FE-SEM analysis indicated that the Ca (OH)2: TiO2 composite material exhibited an amorphous structure, characterized by a particle size measuring 25.88 nm. But FTIR was focused on the spectral region between 4000 and 450 cm-1. The absorption spectra of nanoparticles composed of titanium dioxide consistently displayed a prominent peak at a wavelength of 300 nm. The results of the experiment pertaining to the biological effects of composites suggest that the inclusion of TiO2 nanoparticles at concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 75% in the composite material led to a notably wider inhibitory zone in comparison to the use of Ca(OH)2 alone, with a statistically significant p-value of 0.05. Conclusion: The use of varying concentrations of Ca (OH)2TiO2 improves microbial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Candida.","PeriodicalId":35655,"journal":{"name":"Biomedicine (India)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135291474","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}

Epilepsy is a severe neuropsychological condition that occurs sporadically and has a long-term effect on the electrical signals that travel between brain cells. The disorder is characterized by recurrent seizures that are brought on by a sudden increase in brain electrical activity. This is the outcome of abnormal neuronal discharges or coordinated neuronal hyperexcitability. The study’s main objective is to find out the therapeutic phytocompound in treating Epileptic disorder. Materials and Methods: This study investigated the potential use of phytochemicals from the Ashwagandha plant as epileptic seizure treatments that target key genes strongly associated with the disease. To forecast the binding affinity between the phytochemicals and the receptors, molecular docking simulations (PyRx) were used for the virtual screening. Results: The preliminary screening of the twenty-two phytocompounds from Withania somnifera was based on their affinity for epilepsy. The results showed that withasomnine exhibited great binding affinity to the receptors, indicating their potential as targeted epileptic seizure therapeutics. The ligands revealed stronger binding with the epilepsy targets, and the binding score less than -7 kcal/mol was taken into consideration for further exploration. This research lays the groundwork for upcoming in-vitro and in-vivo studies to confirm the effectiveness of these phytochemicals as cancer therapies. Conclusion: The results suggest that withasomnine derivatives from Withania somnifera could be a promising source of epilepsy therapies.","PeriodicalId":35655,"journal":{"name":"Biomedicine (India)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135291476","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}

Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) was used to screen the patients for neuropathy. Vitamin D levels were measured. Four HbA1C levels (once every three months) done at least one-year preceding enrolment in the study were analyzed. A nerve conduction study was performed in the Neurophysiology lab. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0. Results: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) was present in 54.91% of patients. They had a higher BMI, HbA1C %, fasting blood glucose, and low Vitamin D levels. Nerve conduction studies showed more pronounced changes in patients with severe DPN grades. Variability of HbA1C% correlated positively with the duration of diabetes and BMI, and the relation was negative with vitamin D levels. Vitamin D correlated negatively with duration, Hb A1C variability, and BMI. The correlation of HbA1C variability with motor and sensory conduction velocity and amplitude was negative, and with latency, it was positive. Vitamin D correlated positively with amplitude and conduction velocity and negatively with latency. Conclusion: Nerve conduction study, variability in HBA1C, and Vitamin D levels can act as tools to detect DPN.

This bacterium can cause renal and vesical calculi, septicemia, and wound infection-related pyrexia. Antibiotics may not cure respiratory infections. This study infected rabbits with a virulent strain of P. vulgaris from bovine mastitis to examine metabolic and histological changes in various organs. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out on twenty domestic rabbits of both sexes which were divided into two groups. The first group received 1010 CFUml of virulent Proteus vulgaris subcutaneously. While the second group (control) received subcutaneously 1 cc of phosphate buffered saline (pH = 7.2). On 3,7, 14 days of infection, the animals were checked for their biochemical parameters (AST, ALT, ALP, blood urea and creatinine). Histological alterations in various organs were also studied. Results: The infected group showed substantial increases (P0.01) in liver enzymes (AST, ALT, and ALP) at 3, 7, and 14 days compared to the control group. In contrast, the infected group showed a substantial rise (P 0.01) in blood urea and creatinine levels at 3, 7, and 14 days compared to pre-infection levels and the control group. Histological analysis of lung tissue showed dilated alveolar gaps with hemorrhagic and fibrinous exudates and many alveolar macrophages. These findings included pulmonary vasodilation and congestion. Intramuscular edema, cellular infiltration, intramuscular hemorrhage, and congestion was present in heart tissue with little muscle fiber separation. The intestines had significant patch proliferation and mononuclear cell infiltration. Blood vascular congestion and mononuclear cell infiltration were also seen in the liver and kidney.
