Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the effect of ultrasonic agitation for retrograde biodceramic root repair, MTA and biodentinefilling materials on push-out bond strength to dentine walls.Materials and Methods: Ninety extracted human teeth with single straight roots were selected randomly.After disinfection and cleaning, the coronal portions were sectioned to standardize the root canal length at15mm. following root canal shaping, obturation and apical roots resection, retrograde cavities were prepared.Teeth were categorized depending on the filling material used into three groups, 30 teeth each. Group Afilled with bioceramic root repair material, B with MTA and C with Biodentine material. These groups weredivided in to three subgroup (n=10). Subgroups:A1, B1, and C1 cavities were filled with the aid of condenser.A2, B2, and C2 with ultrasonic agitation of material for 30 seconds. A3, B3, and C3 with ultrasonic agitationof material for 60 seconds. Push-out bond strength test was done for the samples to specify bond strengths atthe cement/dentin interfaces. The specimens were examined using a stereomicroscope to estimate the modeof failure. Data were statistically analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Bonferonni test.Results: Ultrasonic agitations increase the bond strength for all cements. BiodentineTM, PD™ MTAWhiteand TotalFill®BC RRM™ were significantly increased (P<0.05). While, increasing the time of ultrasonicwas statically non-significant among groups.Conclusions: Ultrasonic agitation of root-ending filling materials showed increase in push-out boundstrength to dentine walls.

Abstract

Type-2 diabetes mellitus is the most common chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevation ofblood glucose concentration (hyperglycemia) due to defect in carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism.Cytokines have an important role in impairing insulin signaling and selective destruction of insulin-producingbeta cells. Thus, the second type of diabetes can be characterized as an immune-mediated disease. This studyaimed to evaluate the serum levels of Interleukin-4 (IL-4) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) of patients with type 2diabetes mellitus among cases from Wasit province-Iraq. A total of 90 randomly selected subjects fromWasit province – Iraq: (60) patients with T2DM, and (30) apparently healthy subjects with normal fastingblood sugar as a control group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure thelevels of interleukin-4 IL-4 and interleukin -6 in sera from patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus. The resultsof this study showed that IL-4 concentrations had a non-significant difference when compared patients withtype-2 diabetes mellitus with the control group (154 ± 7.00 versus (vs) 151.49 ± 21, P-value (P) = > 0.05).While patients with T2DM revealed elevated serum levels of IL-6 compared to control group (B 637.1 ±355.9 versus 266.3 ± 128.8, P = < 0.001).

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as a traumatically-induced structural brain injury or physiologicaldisruption of brain function caused by an external force. Traumatic brain injury is a neuropsychiatric disorderthat breaks down the remaining barriers between neurology and psychiatry. Several biomarkers have beendeveloped to directly determine the pathology of the nerve cells in the central nervous system (CNS) whenit is injured. This review recent research on brain injury biomarkers could be used for rapid and accuratediagnostics of TBI in easily accessible fluid.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess utility of GFAP-BDP for the diagnosis of intracranialinjury in patients with a positive clinical screen for head injury across the spectrum of TBI typicallypresenting to ED in Kasr- Alainy hospital.Subjects & Methods: This prospective cohort study was based on the data collected from 90 cases presentedto Kasr Al-Aini Hospitals Emergency Department, Cairo University, with history of traumatic brain injurythrough the period from April 2017 to Mars 2019. According to age, they were classified into 3 age groups;age group A (18-35 years), age group B (36-50 years) and age group C (> 50 years). Data were analyzed withrespect to socio-demographic data, type of head injury, clinical presentations, radiological investigation, andmanagement of TBI in relation to serum specific biomarkers level (GFAP, C-tau).Results: The most common age group was age group B (18-35 years) (70%). Males were more commonthan females (71.1% and 28.9% respectively). The most common cause of trauma was fall from height(33.3%). Serum GFAP level and C-tau levels in studied groups show high significant correlation betweenthem (p value <0.001).Conclusion and Recommendations: The combination of the two biomarkers or more may be more usefulthan either biomarker in isolation for predicting intracranial lesions on CT scanning therefor decreasesunwanted CT head scanning and radiological bad effect especially in young ages.
