Scanning electron microscopy, dentin adhesive interface assessment, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, shear bond strength (SBS), degree of conversion (DC), and bond failure were assessed. Teeth were selected, disinfected, and mounted in acrylic up to the cementoenamel junction. Occlusal enamel was removed and teeth were randomly allocated into groups and conditioned. These included Group 1: samples treated with PA; Group 2: specimens conditioned with methylene blue photosensitizer (MBP) activated by PDT; and Group 3: samples conditioned with FSL. Following different conditioning regimes, specimens were bonded using 1% CMA and EA. The composite buildup was followed by SBS testing and a bond failure assessment. DC was assessed for both EA and CMA. Analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test were used to compare the mean and standard deviation of SBS and DC in different experimental groups, with a significance level of <i>p</i> < 0.05. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Dentin pretreated with etch and rinse demonstrated the highest bond strength with 1% CMA. Dentin conditioned with MBP activated by PDT and bonded to EA showed the lowest bond scores. Overall SBS values of 1% CMA were better than EA irrespective of the conditioning regime of dentin. The DC was higher in EA adhesive. This was followed by DC in 1% CMA. DC in EA was found to be comparable with 1% CMA. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> PA remains the gold standard for dentin conditioning. The incorporation of 1% chitosan in adhesive improves SBS and results in no change in DC. The use of FSL in dentin conditioning can be used as an alternative approach as it results in SBS within acceptable limits.

Given the several limitations and adverse outcomes of conventional therapeutic regimens against colorectal cancer, the focus of many investigations has been attributed to the introduction of a novel combined regimen with harmless agents. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of combined doxorubicin (DOX) treatment and photodynamic therapy (PDT) on colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. <b><i>Material and Methods:</i></b> HT-29 cells were exposed to different concentrations of DOX, low-level (630 nm) diode laser, and methylene blue (MB) as a photosensitizer substrate separately and a combination of them. The cytotoxic effect of the DOX, laser, MB, and their combination and the IC50 value for each treatment group were calculated by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). The malondialdehyde (MDA) content as a biomarker of the lipid peroxidation process and liberated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme into supernatant was determined. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The results of our study evidenced that a combination of photodynamic light (laser plus MB) and DOX caused a significant reduction in the percentage of HT-29 viable cells compared with control and other treatment groups. In addition, this mentioned combination led to a considerable decrease in IC50 of DOX. Increased cell membrane lipid peroxidation and cell destruction processes in the combination therapy group were proven through significant elevation of MDA content and LDH activity in the medium, respectively. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The findings of the present study suggested that DOX combined with PDT had a better therapeutic impact on HT-29 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. Hence, the simultaneous application of PDT along with antineoplastic drugs improves the chemosensitivity of cancerous cells via the disruption of their membrane and triggering death processes that lead to the decrease of chemotherapeutic agents required doses and undesirable effects.</p>","PeriodicalId":94169,"journal":{"name":"Photobiomodulation, photomedicine, and laser surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142335414","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 study is to investigate the effects of NIR laser irradiation on osteoblastic differentiation. Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) were cultured in osteogenic medium and exposed to 810 nm NIR laser at 0.5 J/cm² every 48 h. The transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV1) channel inhibitor capsazepine (CPZ) was used to evaluate the role of calcium influx. Osteogenic differentiation was assessed by proliferation (CCK-8), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization (Alizarin Red), and expression of bone markers by PCR and Western blot over 2 weeks. Intracellular calcium was measured by Fluo-4M dye and flow cytometry. Results showed that NIR irradiation enhanced hPDLSC proliferation, ALP activity, mineralization, and bone marker expression, indicating increased osteogenic differentiation. These effects were inhibited by CPZ. NIR induced a transient rise in intracellular calcium peaking at 3 min, which was blocked by CPZ. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that NIR laser irradiation promotes osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs through the activation of TRPV1 channels and subsequent calcium signaling. Further research is warranted to optimize the treatment parameters and elucidate the detailed signaling pathways involved, paving the way for the clinical application of NIR therapy in the treatment of bone disorders and periodontal disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":94169,"journal":{"name":"Photobiomodulation, photomedicine, and laser surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142335400","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}
