Abstract

Objective: This article for the first time described a novel, hybrid approach to internal rhinoplasty bycombining a reciprocating saw/osteotome. We compared it with conventional “pure” instrument (osteotomiesperformed by chisel only) in terms of cutting time and postoperative complications such as ecchymosis,edema, pain and overall patient’s satisfaction with surgery.Materials and methods: We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial study. Toassess variables of the study 60 patients were divided into two groups: 1) 30 patients underwent newapproach and 2) 30 patients underwent conventional osteotomies. The outcomes of the study were cuttingtime in minutes and postoperative edema, ecchymosis and pain and overall patient’s satisfaction whichwere measured at two time points: days 2 and 7 after surgery. Data were analyzed using repeated measureANOVA test.Results: The mean cutting time was significantly lower in Ghasemzadeh approach group when comparedwith usual osteotome group (P value=0.001). On both 2 and 7 days following surgery, ecchymosis (Pvalue=0.001 and =0.033, respectively) and pain (P value= 0.001 and 0.001, respectively) was significantlylower in Ghasemzadeh approach group than in the usual osteotome group. The mean level of edema onpostoperative 2 days was lower but not significant in Ghasemzadeh approach group than in the usualosteotome group (P = .09), while it was significant on 7 days (P value=0.001). The patient’s satisfactionreported by the Ghasemzadeh approach group was significantly better than usual osteotome group on 2 and7 days following surgery.Conclusion: It is concluded that the use of combined reciprocating saw/osteotome in rhinoplasty showedthat swelling, pain, ecchymosis and short-term patient satisfaction was improved with this technique.

Abstract

Objectives. This study aims to compare the results of non-surgical periodontal therapy on the periodontalhealth status and glycemic control between diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 (T2DM).Methods. A total of 24 adult patients participated in this study. Patients divided into two groups, 12 patientsare diagnosed with T1DM, and 12 diabetic patients with T2DM. After 3 months non-surgical periodontaltreatment, the following parameters were investigated at baseline: glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), plaqueindex (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival recession (GR), probing pocket depth (PPD), and clinicalattachment level (CAL). After baseline investigation, both groups received one stage full mouth scaling androot planning, combined with systemic Doxycycline, statistical analysis was performed by Student T-test.Results. By comparing between T1DM and T2DM at base line, and after 3 months non-surgical periodontaltherapy showed generally no significant differences with respect to periodontal parameters, while HbA1cvalues were always significantly higher in T1DM. By comparing of each parameter before- and 3 monthsafter non-surgical periodontal therapy with relation to the type of diabetes mellitus showed reduction ofgingival inflammation (PI, BOP), but there are no significant differences of probing pocket depth in bothdiabetic groups, glycemic control level HbA1c showed significant reduction only in diabetic patients Type 2.Conclusion. Results of the present study showed that non-surgical periodontal therapy in both diabetes typesdecreased gingival inflammation, no changes in periodontal pocket depth, but reduced glycemic controlsignificantly only on type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

The zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) are used in cosmetics and skincare products, and as drug deliverysystems. Because of their natural and therapeutic dangers, high attention was given to the toxicity ofnanoparticles. This experiment was designed to study the pathological influences of ZnONPs on the liverfunction parameters of rats, and to explore the protective action of Silymarin (SIL) against liver functiondisturbances of rats induced by ZnONPs. In our study, (24) albino rats were divided into (4) groups, (6)rats for each and used. The control animals included rats without treatment, while the ZnONPs group ratsreceived 50 mg/kg of ZnONPs for 28 days. In the ZnONPs+SIL group, rats were co-administered witha combination of ZnONPs at a 50mg/kg dose with SIL at a 100 mg/kg dose for 28 days. The SIL groupanimals were treated with 100 mg/kg of SIL for 28 days. All the animals were sacrificed and blood sampleswere obtained by cardiac puncture in the end of the experiments. The levels of biochemical parameters(hepatic enzymes) including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkalinephosphatase (ALP) were measured to detect liver function disorders. The results revealed that ZnONPsinduced a significant increase in plasma enzyme activity in comparison to the control group (p<0.05). Cotreatment of SIL significantly reduced levels of these enzyme activities. Based on these results, it can be saidthat Silymarin effectively protects against ZnONPs induced liver function disorders in rats.

Abstract

Introduction: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a widespread oral mucosal disease typified by thepresence of a yellowish-grey base with high margins and flanked by an erythematous halo. RAS typicallycrops up in the lining or nonkeratinized mucosa. It has been found that smoking and salivary cotinine (ametabolic product of nicotine) levels have a protective effect against the occurrence of RAS by increasingkeratinization of the oral mucosa.Objectives: To identify the effect of smoking and nicotine level on the occurrence of RAS.Patients and Methods: the study was conducted on 92 male students studying at different Universities ofBaghdad, Iraq, in the period between January to December 2018. The students were thoroughly questionedabout the yearly recurrence rate and healing period of RAS. Data about smoking history; method, averagedaily dose, and period of the behaviour were recorded for each student. Salivary Cotinine levels weremeasured by the Human Cotinine ELISA Kit and utilising the competitive ELISA technique based on theprotocol of the manufacturer salimetrics assay #1-2002.Results: The study subjects comprised of 92 male students. Their ages were from 18 to 25 years; theaverage age was 21.04 ± 2.2. Forty-two of them were light smokers, and 50 were heavy smokers. They weresubdivided into subgroups according to the duration of smoking (less or more than five years). The annualrecurrence rates and healing period were lower in those who smoked for more than five years than those whosmoked for less than five years with a significant difference in light smokers. Salivary cotinine levels weresignificantly higher in a heavy smoker than in light smokers. Period of healing and yearly recurrence rateswere significantly lower in those who had salivary cotinine level more than 200ng/ml than in those with alevel.Conclusion: The protecting impact of smoking on RAS was solely identified when individuals were heavysmokers or smoked for longer durations of time and correlated with cotinine levels, according to the availableliterature.
