Authors: Massoglia Gabriella , Schuh Michael J.
Published: September 2021

Objectives: This quality improvement project sought to determine if clinical pharmacist office visits, or consults, had an impact on therapeutic tacrolimus levels in patients after kidney transplant through analysis of tacrolimus serum concentrations before versus after a pharmacist visit.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for all patients that attended a clinical pharmacist office visit, also known as a consult, after kidney transplantation for a four month period. Pharmacists during the post-transplant consult reviewed adherence but also educated patients in detail about timing and logging of tacrolimus dosing, dosing with regard to labs to assure trough dosing, dosing with or without food in the stomach, what to do with a dose is taken late or if a dose is missed and foods, herbal supplements to avoid that may inhibit CYP3A4 to elevate tacrolimus levels.
Results: After the post-transplant visit with a clinical pharmacist there was a 46% increase in the number of tacrolimus trough levels in therapeutic range versus before the pharmacist visit. Sixty-four percent of kidney transplant patients experienced an increase in the number of therapeutic drug levels in range after the pharmacist visit versus before the pharmacist visit.
Conclusions: An increase in the quantity of therapeutic tacrolimus trough levels and the number of patients with therapeutic drug levels in range was observed after patients received pharmacist provided medication education post-transplant with emphasis on proper immunosuppressant medication administration, adherence and potential drug and food interactions. This finding demonstrates the importance of pharmacist clinical services in producing improved therapeutic drug levels in post-transplant kidney patients.

Abstract

The judiciary body is at the forefront of enforcing Indonesian environmental law through judges' decisions that prioritize the preservation of environmental functions. Judges who have competence in the field of environmental law are expected to be able to make decisions in favor of environmental justice. However, the reality is that there are still many judges' decisions on environmental cases that are not in favor of justice and the interests of the preservation of environmental functions. The existence of Supreme Court Decree Number 134 / KMA / SK / IX / 2011 concerning Certification of Environmental Judges is also considered not optimal in increasing the competence of judges regarding  environmental cases decision. This study is to identify, analyze, and explain the implications of environmental judge certification for the effectiveness of Indonesian environmental law enforcement. The type of research used is juridical normative or doctrinal, using secondary data sources which include primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. This research concludes that environmental judge certification is literally becoming an important and strategic aspect in the effort to bring the effectiveness of environmental law enforcement in Indonesia into reality. Up to now, the regulation of environmental judge certification has not been fully optimally implemented. This research considers that it is important to carry out legal reconstruction, in order to obtain an ideal concept related to environmental judge certification in an effort to have a solid and effective Indonesian environmental law enforcement.

Published: September 2021

Industry 4.0 has impacted the labor market as well as the profile of the modern professional, who has been undergoing changes over the last years. It should be noted that in a highly competitive corporate world, the technical knowledge acquired during the university course must be associated with behavioral skills, characteristics that consolidate them and differentiates in the present scenario. The transversal skills called "soft skills" are crucial skills, as the individual assumes a more strategic than operational behavior, managing to make decisions smarter. Characterize soft skills in the context of Industry 4.0, as well as presenting the importance in the training of the engineer, highlighting the difference between the skills acquired at the university and those required by the market. Procedures will use methodologies involving systematic research, bibliometric analysis and research exploratory through the application of a questionnaire. The nature of the data employees will be predominantly qualitative, where the research method adopted for this work will be the survey research aimed at two classes: engineering graduates and engineers already in the job market. Systematic research and bibliometric analysis will allow access to the operationalization of concepts, related variables and issues inherent to soft skills and Industry 4.0. The questionnaire will enable the perception of similarity or not in the view of undergraduates and engineers already employees, which are the most outstanding soft skills. And that, in this way, the graduates more easily meet the current expectations of the corporate environment.

Published: September 2021

Objetivo: Enriquecer a literatura, sintetizar e esclarecer a relação da Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) com a hipertensão. Métodos: Essa revisão integrativa utilizou-se as bases de dados ‘’PubMed’’ e ‘’Scielo’’ para procura dos descritores ‘’Renal Function’’, ‘’Hypertension’’, ‘’Kidney Function’’, ‘’Renal Insufficiency, Chronic’’ e ‘’Chronic Kidney Disease’’ associado com operadores booleanos, encontrando 1116 artigos. Destes, selecionou-se 20. Resultados: A DRC apresenta alta mortalidade devida seu caráter silencioso ou inespecífico. É caracterizada por anormalidades funcionais e/ou estruturas dos rins por mais de três meses. A Taxa de Filtração Glomerular é utilizada para diagnóstico e estadiamento e, como principais etiologias, tem-se a hipertensão e diabetes, sendo doenças foco para tratamento da DRC. Porém, não há explicação simples e fidedigna para essa relação, e ainda há estudos relatando que o tratamento intensivo da pressão e o uso de hidralazina podem piorar a função renal. Todavia, os anti-hipertensivos, medicamentos de controle glicêmico e modificadores de lipídios são clássicos como terapia modificadora da progressão. Considerações finais: É imprescindível mais ênfase no rastreamento e diagnóstico precoce para melhorar a saúde dos pacientes, principalmente aqueles com comorbidades. Ainda, mais estudos são necessários para elucidar sua relação com a hipertensão, o tratamento intensivo da pressão e outras associações.

Published: September 2021

Objetivo: Descrever a apresentação, evolução e desfecho de um caso de acalasia de origem idiopática de difícil diagnóstico tratada por via laparoscópica. Detalhamentos de caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 44 anos, com relato de dor torácica e dificuldade para deglutir há quatro anos, bem como perda ponderal importante ao longo dos anos. Foi inicialmente diagnosticada e tratada para gastrite moderada após investigação diagnóstica com endoscopia digestiva alta. Devido a persistência dos sintomas e nova investigação, a suspeição de acalasia foi aventada após endoscopia e exame radiográfico contrastado, sendo posteriormente confirmada por manometria e corrigida através de cardiomiotomia a Heller e posterior Valvuloplastia a Toupet, evoluindo sem intercorrências. Considerações finais: A acalasia esofágica é conhecida como um distúrbio motor primário do esôfago muito estudado, de ocorrência rara e de predomínio idiopático no mundo. Na maioria dos casos, a disfagia é o sintoma predominante, além da ocorrência de êmese, dor torácica e sensação de impactação do bolo alimentar, o que torna frequente a perda de peso durante a evolução da doença. A abordagem terapêutica de maior redução na morbimortalidade dos pacientes é a técnica videolaparoscópica, com menores complicações intraoperatórias, menor tempo de internação e melhor recuperação.

Authors: Giri Anil Kumar , Mishra Prakash Chandra , Dey Surjendu Kumar
Published: September 2021

In this work, the phytoaccumulation efficiency and enzymatic activities of various rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes exposed to differential concentrations of Cr (VI) have been studied. The cultivars experimented were Pratikshya, Sankar, Annapurna, White swarna and Pimpudibasa. The seedlings were raised with ¼ strength Hoagland’s nutrient solution prepared in deionised water supplemented with different concentrations (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400µg/L) of hexavalent Cr as potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) under controlled environmental conditions. The seedlings were harvested at 7 days intervals and parameters like root and shoot elongation, enzymatic activities and tolerance to chromium ions were measured after different periods of exposure. The highest concentration of Cr (VI) ions in shoots (9.92 µg/g dry weight) and roots (8.51µg/g dry weight) was found in Pratikshya exposed to 300 µg/L of Cr(VI) after 21 days of treatments. The growth parameters of five cultivars and tolerance to chromium were in the order of Pratikshya>Sankar>Annapurna>White swarna>Pimpudibasa. Cr(VI) toxicity was correlated with peroxidase and catalase enzyme activities of different rice cultivars. The interaction between chromium ions and rice cultivars biomass was studied using SEM-EDX and FTIR analysis.

Published: September 2021

Glyphosate herbicides are the most widely produced and used herbicides in the world. The intensive applications of glyphosate and its half-life in water result into many aquatic ecosystems. The present study focuses on the evaluation of glyphosate toxicity on the early life stages of the fish Danio rerio. Analysis of the test results revealed that glyphosate is toxic to zebrafish. This effect is marked by the increase in percent mortality at peak concentrations. Long-term exposure to glyphosate affects the hatching rate, heart rate and swimming ability of zebrafish. Significant malformations were observed at the highest concentration in the form of tail bending or fin absence.

Published: September 2021

Our aim is to evaluate the integrated coastal management (ICM) development in Brazil between 2009 and 2018. For this, two approaches were used: in the first, the progress achieved in terms of proposal implementation (considering the proposals presented in the assessment made in 2011); while in the second, the current status of each of the ten key issues of the Decalogue applied by the Ibero American Network for Coastal Management (IBERMAR) was analyzed. In general terms, Brazil showed an intermediate level of advancement (50% of the key issues the value of “3” was assigned, on a scale from “0” to “5”), and no aspect of the Decalogue was classified as no development (value of “0”) or full development (value of “5”). Based on the results, we expect not only to continue the evaluation process of the Brazilian coastal governance system, but also to enable reference analysis between countries, which may foster collaboration among IBERMAR members.

Published: September 2021

El presente documento recopila los avances más significativos del manejo costero integrado en Colombia entre 2009 y 2019, luego de 10 años de haber sido publicado el documento de Avella et al. (2009), que considera los diez aspectos del Decálogo IBERMAR. Este documento constituye un ejercicio de compilación de los principales aportes en esta materia, que no pretende plasmar la totalidad del trabajo realizado en el país, pues implicaría la difícil tarea de convocar a todas las entidades que tienen funciones sobre el territorio marino-costero. En consecuencia, se presenta una revisión detallada del diagnóstico realizado por la Red IBERMAR Colombia (Avella et al., 2009) y las posteriores propuestas esbozadas en 2011 (Botero y Sosa, 2011), en busca de hacer un seguimiento particularizado al avance de cada uno de los diez asuntos que aborda el Decálogo. En la última parte, se incluye una tabla sintética con la evaluación del avance en estos diez años, donde se evidencia los asuntos que han tenido mayor atención y aquellos que son todavía una tarea pendiente. En términos generales, los tres aspectos con mayor avance son las instituciones a cargo de la gestión costera, los instrumentos, tanto estratégicos como operativos, además del conocimiento e información para la gestión. Al contrario, los aspectos con menor valoración son la normativa, la formación y los recursos económicos.
Integrated Coastal and Marine Management in Costa Rica
Authors: Samper-Villarreal Jimena , Mora-Rodríguez Fernando D. , Morales-Ramírez Álvaro
Published: September 2021

Considerado como el primer país en vías de desarrollo en contar con un programa de Gestión Costera Integrada, Costa Rica es un país pequeño con dos costas que inalienablemente debe manejar sus recursos marino-costeros de manera sostenible. Este país centroamericano posee una extensión territorial marina de 577,731 km2, una extensión 11 veces mayor a la de su territorio continental (51,100 km2), con una línea costera que abarca 1,016 km en la vertiente del Pacífico y 212 km en la del Caribe. La biodiversidad marina y costera de este país representa cerca del 4% de la biodiversidad mundial. Es por ello que es de gran importancia que en Costa Rica se desarrolle una gestión costera y marina eficiente y eficaz bajo la dirección del Gobierno de la República en conjunto con la participación activa e informada de los diferentes sectores y comunidades. El fortalecimiento de la gobernanza de la Zona Económica Exclusiva y las áreas costeras costarricenses son esenciales para el buen manejo y conservación de los ecosistemas, especies y recursos presentes. En años recientes el país ha logrado avanzar en la definición de su Política Nacional del Mar 2013-2028, así como numerosos otros instrumentos de política pública que dimensionan los alcances de la agenda azul y sus áreas de mayor interés, superando la veintena de estos instrumentos. La participación de Costa Rica en la Red IBERMAR le ha permitido al país mantener activo un espacio de intercambio, capaz de propiciar la discusión y construcción de acciones favorables al logro de una gestión integrada de las zonas costeras y los ambientes marinos. Dichos esfuerzos y políticas le han permitido a Costa Rica impulsar acciones en beneficio del mar y las zonas costeras, su conservación, el ordenamiento de las actividades económicas y la promoción de mecanismos de gobernanza para las comunidades y diversos actores que dependen de los recursos marino costeros. De cara al Bicentenario de la República de Costa Rica en el 2021, se visibiliza que las autoridades gubernamentales buscan destacar el territorio marino y costero como un componente esencial para el desarrollo sostenible.

Regional efforts jointly done for synthesizing the situation about Integrated Coastal Management and Public Politics in Iberoamerica started almost a decade ago. Ten years later, the present Chapter is aimed to analyze advances regarding implementation of integrated coastal management in Cuba. Due to its condition of being a Caribbean archipelago, everything in Cuba is strongly linked to its coastal and marine characteristics; issues about integrated coastal zone management have received greater attention, becoming, at present, an item of maximum priority among the political and legal frameworks of the country. Improvement to the political-normative framework regarding integrated coastal management, increase in the number of institutions devoted to assess themes related to that topic, as well as in the number of projects, activities for Postgraduate formation and communitarian education regarding the topic, are all widely shown in the present Chapter. Approval and implementation of the National Plan for Social and Economic Development up to 2030 (NPSED, 2030), and of the State Plan to face the Climate Change (“Life Task” in Sp. “Tarea Vida”) have been irrelevant for the country. Both Plans are aimed to analyze typical problems of the coastal zone, focusing on the search of solutions. New challenges for coastal zone management in Cuba are also described in the present Chapter, where possibilities of putting into practice new actions, as well as items, which require deeper analysis, are also given.

In Mexico, the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) as it, is an uncommon instrument for coastal management. Nevertheless, ICZM was understood as a regional planning endeavor, similar in perspective to the marine and coastal ecological ordinances performed for all Mexican seas, some coastal municipalities and coastal states, many of which have been published as laws. The exercise of participatory planning has been fully developed in the country, but there is an alarming lack of implementation. In this paper we analyse the top-down policies that rule the marine areas (and coasts). At present the National Policy for the Sustainable Use of Coasts and Seas, is used as the main conveyor for governmental actions and interventions. It was proposed by the Inter-ministries Commission for the Sustainable Management of Seas and Coasts (CIMARES) that coordinates the actions of the several dependencies and entities related to the formulation and implementation of national policies for the planning, management and sustainable development of the seas and coasts at the federal level. This is a documental research that analysed the major policies using the methodology of “The Decalogue” which is an analysis of the main aspects of the public administration. The results show that institutional coordination capacity is a major challenge and planning instruments are still miss-used in decision-making processes.

The Impact of External Contextual Factors on Teaching Candidates
Authors: Butler Alexander S.
Published: September 2021

The formation of a teacher’s identity is considered a dynamic process influenced by internal and external contextual factors. This article explores the impact that external contextual factors have on teacher candidates’ identities by presenting the findings of an empirical qualitative study that investigated the relationship between teacher candidates’ beliefs and their demonstrations and representations of teaching and learning on a nationally standardised portfolio assessment. Metaphor analysis and stimulated recall were used to explore this relationship. The study found that teacher candidates’ teaching demonstrations while student teaching and representations of teaching found in a nationally standardised portfolio assessment were severely constrained by cooperating teachers and scripted curriculums. However, the study also found that candidates could articulate the differences between their beliefs about teaching and learning and their demonstrations and representations of teaching and learning. Candidates routinely made suggestions in the portfolio assessment to align their future teaching more closely to their metaphors for teaching. The study concluded that candidates did not change their beliefs but took up temporary teaching identities based on these findings. They found ways to navigate the assessment and their (teaching) context while remaining committed to their teaching identity and beliefs about good teaching. This article suggests how education system contexts impact the formation of teacher candidates’ identities and what teacher education programmes need to do to strengthen candidates’ identities in the face of negative external influences.
Music Teachers’ Perception of Music Teaching at the Stage of Early Adolescence
Authors: Brdnik Juhart Petra , Sicherl Kafol Barbara
Published: September 2021

Based on the descriptive method of qualitative educational research, the present study explores music teaching at the stage of early adolescence in terms of general-school music teachers’ viewpoints on factors defining the planning and implementation of music teaching. The study was based on qualitative analysis of data gathered in interviews with 18 teachers from nine countries (Slovenia, Argentina, Australia, USA, Turkey, Poland, Russia, Italy and Germany). The research found that music teaching based on authentic musical communication through the activities of playing, creating and listening to music was favoured by the interviewees. Among the factors affecting the presentation of music teaching at the stage of early adolescence, the quality of curricular bases and the professional competence of music teachers were emphasised. In this context, the research findings showed that music curricula in the international context do not provide a suitable curricular base for the implementation of music teaching. The problem becomes especially salient when the competences of music teachers are insufficient for the transference of the curricular platform to musical praxis through authentic ways of musical teaching. The research findings provide an insight into the complexity of the factors involved, including authentic music teaching, the music curriculum and teachers’ competences, which determine the planning and implementation of music teaching at the stage of early adolescence. In addition, the findings provide a basis for further research in a broader context and for the development of guidelines for curricular updates and the modernisation of music education in general schools.

Comparison of the Development of TikTok and Bilibili
Authors: Sun Yiting
Published: September 2021

According to the comparison between TikTok and Bilibili in five aspects, TikTok is far more than Bilibili in terms of user flow and business model. However, TikTok still has some disadvantages, such as the failure to provide high-quality short videos or the lack of development prospects for creators. TikTok and Bilibili are two related but different video platforms. Through the comparison between them, we can intuitively understand the problems faced by the two companies and predict the developmental trend of the two in the future. People can clearly understand the development and future trend of entertainment video platforms through the comparison between the two. The author thinks, TikTok will continue to generate high revenue with high traffic, and if Bilibili continues to produce high-quality videos and tries to break into the market, it will be able to gain a foothold like Youtube.

Published: September 2021

Epidemiological data show that the incidence rate of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) has been increasing over the past 20 years. Due to its concealment of clinical manifestations, most patients are diagnosed with CCA at a late stage. On this premise, this review not only discusses the research progress related to CCA diagnosis, but also focuses on the concept of circulating tumor cell (CTC), its evaluation value, application, and prospects for the early diagnosis of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
New Solution and Application of the Theory of “Acting According to Time”
Authors: Zhang Rui , Yu Tao
Published: September 2021

From the perspective of theoretical analysis, based on the annotation of ancient doctors on the theory of “acting according to time,” this article puts forward the view of “time”; that is, the impact of the social environment on the occurrence and development of diseases. In addition, it points out that the characteristics of modern diseases are of “multiple heat syndromes and multiple repletion pattern.” Based on this characteristic, the use of heat-clearing drugs in the clinical stage would have a good effect. It has been suggested that contemporary doctors should not only inherit the theories from predecessors, but also think diligently and innovate bravely along with the current environment in order to ensure that the theories of TCM are constantly full of vitality to better serve the clinical aspect.

Objective: To explore the efficacy and safety of doxycycline and moxifloxacin in the treatment of tsutsugamushi disease. Methods: There was a total of 80 cases of tsutsugamushi disease that were treated in Jiangsu Sihong Fenjinting Hospital from January 2017 to August 2020. The patients were divided into group A and group B, with 40 cases in each group. The patients in group A were treated with moxifloxacin whereas those in group B were treated with doxycycline. The efficacy and safety of the clinical treatment between the two groups were compared. Results: The effective rate was 72.5% in group A and 95.0% in group B. Compared with group A, group B was better (p < 0.05). The time taken for the resolution of clinical symptoms, the detection indexes of liver function, and the incidence of adverse reactions were also compared between the two groups, in which group B was significantly better than group A (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In the clinical treatment of tsutsugamushi disease, doxycycline has better therapeutic effect and higher safety compared to moxifloxacin. It can significantly improve the patient’s liver function, reduce the probability of adverse reactions, and accelerate the patient’s physical recovery.

Objective: To investigate the effect of sorafenib combined with interferon-lambda 3 on the growth of liver cancer transplanted into nude mice. Methods: Female nude mice of 4-5 weeks of age that passed quarantine were selected and fed for 1-2 weeks before experimental operation. The cell suspension of human hepatoma cell line SMMC-7721 was inoculated into the right cervical axillary fossa with a syringe. The tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group. The control group received normal saline whereas the experimental group was further divided into three other groups: IFN-lambda 3 treatment group, sorafenib treatment group, and IFN-lambda 3 combined with sorafenib treatment group. The situation of nude mice was analyzed. At the end of the experiment, the volume of allogeneic transplanted tumor was measured, and the morphology of tumor cells, the expression of proliferating protein Ki-67, as well as the number of apoptotic cells were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and TUNEL staining. Results: The tumor cell volume of the IFN-lambda 3 treatment group, sorafenib treatment group, and IFN-lambda 3 combined with sorafenib treatment group decreased, which was statistically significant compared with the control group (p < 0.05). The increment rate of proliferating protein Ki-67 in the transplanted tumor tissue of the three drug groups was significantly lower than that of the control group (p < 0.05). IFN-lambda 3 combined with sorafenib had the greatest effect on the expression level of Ki-67 protein. Compared with the control group, the expression rate was significantly lower (p < 0.05). In terms of cell apoptosis, IFN-lambda 3 and/or sorafenib, as well as the combination of the two, showed statistically significant differences compared with the control group (p < 0.05). The rate of cell apoptosis was the highest in the IFN-lambda 3 combined with sorafenib group. Conclusion: IFN-lambda 3 combined with sorafenib can inhibit the growth and proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells in nude mice and promote the apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells, which proves that IFN-lambda 3 combined with sorafenib can treat hepatocellular carcinoma in vivo.
An Improved Method of Comparing Statistically the Technical Solutions Investigated through Quality Function Deployment to Improve Secondary Education

Purpose:. In this age of globalization and scientific revolution, education has got more focus as a fundamental right of human. In Pakistan, substantial efforts are made, both in government and private sectors of education, to promote education. Resultantly, a huge number of educational institutions have been established. Both, parents and teachers, should feel the responsibility of providing the students with all the educational opportunities for the development as conscientious citizens.

Design/Methodology/Approach: This article is an extension of the work by Iqbal et al., (2020), which focuses on exploring the strategies to improve secondary education.  Iqbal et. al., (2020) used QFD methodology, and found out the Needs and Demands (N&Ds) of students and their parents; and then explored the Technical Solutions (TSs) to address these N&Ds.

Findings: The results showed that ‘Teaching Behavior’ was highly important TS with weight of 71, and ‘Checked through Technical devices’ with final weight 57 and “Followed Proper time table by teachers” with weight 55 remained at second and third positions respectively. If we consider weight as the priority factor, the N&D with highest weight deserves to be considered first. But, statistically, because of the random variation in the data, two TSs with different weights could be of same importance.

Implications/Originality/Value: The rationale of this article is to test the weights difference of two TSs by using the methodology developed by Iqbal et al. (2014). This will provide guideline to others education experts to test the significance of any two TSs.

OBJECTIVES: Thoughadequate retention is a basic requirement, there are situations in which it is not possible to obtain desirable optimal retention. Because of ill effects to supporting tissues due to many mechanical aids for retention, many patients frequently resort to the use of denture adhesives. Due to technique sensitivity and limitations of many techniques to measure the retention of a complete denture, this study was planned to evaluate and compare the BFDD with the following aims and objectives; • To measure BFDD in an existing denture without and with use of denture adhesive. • To measure BFDD in new denture without and with use of denture adhesive. • To compare BFDD between an existing and new denture without and with use of denture adhesive. METHODOLGY: Among total of twenty edentulous subjects, Group I& Group II for Method A & B were made. The data obtained by BFDD measurements were statistically analyzed using ANOVA for different time intervals and student’s t-test for group wise comparison. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The results of the study showed that consistent improvements were observed in BFDD when adhesive was used. The p-value was highly significant (p<0.001 HS) at all time intervals for both existing and new set of complete dentures.
Complete denture fabrication using piezography concept-a case report

Providing denture service in a completely edentulous situation especially to a patient with poor mandibular foundation is a challenge to the skills of the operator. Recent treatment methodologies like implant supported prosthesis have considerably mitigated the problems faced in such patients. But, implant dentistry may not be feasible in all situations due to certain anatomic limitations and compromised patient health status. Conventional complete dentures with advanced techniques are the only answer in such situations. In the process of fabricating complete denture for a patient with poor mandibular foundation, the placement of the teeth, and contouring of flanges has been debated by various doyens of the science. The piezography technique using the Neutral Zone concept has emerged a strong forerunner in providing good stability and retention in patients having poor mandibular foundation.
Comparison of antibacterial efficacy of herbal extracts of aloe vera leaves and mushroom against streptococcus mutansand lactobacillus - an in vitro study
Authors: Kurian Bijo
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated and compared the antimicrobial efficacy and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of chlorhexidine 0.12% and extracts of aloe vera and mushroom against Streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus. MATERIALS & METHODOLOGY: The agar disc diffusion and broth micro dilution method was used to check the antimicrobial activity of 0.12% chlorhexidine and aqueous extracts of two medicinal plants. The test samples were divided as follows- Streptococcus mutans, group I: chlorhexidine, group II: Aloe vera and group III: Mushroom. Lactobacillus, Group I: chlorhexidine, group II: Aloe vera extract and group III: Mushroom extract. The zone of inhibition and MIC values were tabulated and the data was statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Bonferroni post- hoc tests. RESULTS: Chlorhexidine shows maximum antibacterial action against Streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus followed by mushroom extract and aloe veraextracts with the zone of inhibition of (20.3mm/ 24.13), (17.03/ 16.05), (14.09/14.26) respectively. Both the extracts had MIC value of 80µg/ ml and chlorhexidine was 40µg/ml. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this in- vitro study, it can be concluded that all the herbal extracts tested in this study demonstrated antibacterial activity against MS and lactobacillus. Chlorhexidine showed maximum antibacterial action against Streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus followed by mushroom extract and then aloe veraextracts with the zone of inhibition of (20.3mm/24.13), (17.03/ 16.05), (14.09/14.26) respectively. Herbal products have potent antimicrobial activity that can be looked at as an alternative to chlorhexidine. However, further in vitro and long-term in vivo studies are recommended to confirm and correlate the findings of this study clinically.
