The subject of the study is human oral fluid.
The goal is quantitative and qualitative assessment of the crystalline structure of the oral fluid of personal computer users using the theory of fractals.
The task is to characterize qualitatively the crystals of the oral fluid of volunteers; apply a computer program to calculate the fractal dimension and area of oral fluid crystals.
Methodology. Research work consists of two stages. In the first stage, a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the crystalline structure of users’ oral fluid was carried out over time without exposure to electromagnetic radiation from a computer. In the second stage, a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the crystalline structure of the users’ oral fluid in dynamics under the influence of electromagnetic radiation from a computer was performed. A laboratory analysis of oral fluid was performed according to physicochemical parameters: pH, buffer capacity, surface tension, total protein, inorganic phosphorus, ammonium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium and α-amylase. The type of structure of saliva microcrystals was determined using the method of P.A. Leus. Additionally, the structure of representative crystals was assessed. A fractal analysis of crystals was carried out (calculation of the fractal dimension and area of the crystals).
Results. Qualitative and quantitative assessment of the state of users' oral fluid over time without exposure to electromagnetic radiation from a computer did not reveal statistically significant changes in physicochemical parameters and crystal structure. Based on the results of the second stage of research, the negative effect of the computer’s electromagnetic field on the oral fluid of users was established. Assessment of the crystalline structure of oral fluid according to the method of P.A. Leus did not reveal any negative changes against the background of computer radiation. However, a visual assessment of the representative crystals showed that there are disturbances in the structure of the crystal structures as a result of their destruction and loss of the first and second order axes, which was confirmed by fractal analysis.
Conclusion. The negative impact of laptop electromagnetic radiation on the oral fluid of users has been revealed. Qualitative and quantitative crystallographic methods are complementary. Integration of these methods in the form of a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the crystalline structure of human oral fluid will allow the doctor to expand diagnostic capabilities in the field of saliva diagnostics.

Published: December 2024

Clinical and laboratory studies were conducted in 24 patients with chronic dental periimplantitis before and after complex treatment aimed at destroying biofilms on the surface of the dental implant to prevent indirect infection. The aim of the study is to develop a comprehensive, etiologically based treatment regimen for dental peri-implantitis based on correction of the oral microbiota.
The study was based on indicators of secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) and an analysis of the composition of the microbiome of mixed saliva in patients with healthy implants and peri-implantitis. A new conceptual approach to the diagnosis and pathogenetically based comprehensive treatment of dental peri-implantitis is proposed. At the first stage, a peri-implantitis treatment regimen was performed according to the protocol “The EFP S3 level clinical practice guideline”. After performing this standard treatment for 6 weeks, we have proposed a scheme that includes: 1) the drug for inhibiting the bacterial film “ACC LONG” 600 mg (Hermes Pharma, Germany) – in the form of oral baths for 2 minutes 30 minutes before meals; 2) for the purpose of adhesion and sorption of biofilm elements – Chitosan succinate (Active+ drug, GREEN VOICE, Russia) after meals in rinsing method: dosage of 10–12 drops per 250 ml of liquid; 3) for the purpose of probiotic correction of oral microbiocenosis, the drug BIFIDUM BAG (5 ml dissolved in water no higher than 40 °C) for 20–30 minutes topically in the form of mouth baths, then swallow after eating for one month.
It was found that with the progression of peri-implantitis, there is a decrease in the level of secretory IgA and a decrease in local resistance of the oral cavity to pathogenic influences. The standard treatment regimen helps to stabilize inflammation in the area of dental implants, but does not lead to a sustained positive effect.

Rationale. Currently, there has been developed a technique for managing enzymatic necrolysis of II-III degree burn wounds using the two-component drug NexoBrid; this treatment option is possible to apply only in the early terms, up to 72 hours, after injury. There are no indications for the use of the technology in later terms after the injury.
The aim of research was to study the potential and effectiveness of enzymatic necrolysis when using the drug NexoBrid in patients with burns of II-III degree at various stages after injury (before and after 72 hours).
Methods. The study included 23 patients. In 15 cases, enzymatic necrolysis with Nexobrid was carried out in first 72 hours after injury; in 8 cases, in 5-9 days after injury.
Results. In both groups, comparable results were obtained regarding the effectiveness of enzymatic necrolysis. The use of enzymatic necrolysis at the late stages (7 days) after injury was effective in the presence of moist necrotic tissue in the wounds, which allowed simultaneously, in the shortest possible time, cleaning burn wounds with uncomplete dermal necrosis (borderline burns of II degree and “mosaic” burns II-III degree) from necrosis, transforming wound process to second stage, creating conditions for regeneration of borderline and “mosaic” burns from the remaining skin derivatives with underlying use of dressings, thus creating a moist wound environment, and in the case of deep burns, reducing the time of their preparation and the area of autodermoplasty.
Conclusion. The use of enzymatic necrolysis with the drug NexoBrid in patients with burns of II-III degree is effective up to 7 days after injury in the presence of a moist scab in the wounds.

Published: December 2024

Liver abscess is a severe, multifactorial disease that occupies from 1 to 3% of the pathology structure of the hepatobiliary system. In the absence of proper treatment, the disease is accompanied by high mortality. Despite all the achievements of modern medicine, the problem of treating liver abscesses remains as relevant as ever. Approaches and techniques of diagnosis and treatment are changing, but such patients still require a versatile approach to treatment. This paper presents a brief overview of the history, modern ideas about the etiology and pathogenesis of liver abscesses, highlights the main tactical approaches in treatment, and the associated features of the course of the disease. A brief overview and comparative analysis of the most common, available and modern treatment options of liver abscesses is given. As an example of successful treatment of liver abscess, a clinical case of minimally invasive ultrasound-guided management of a post-traumatic liver abscess is given, the option is widely used in our clinic. The main stages of treatment, the therapy performed and the invasive interventions performed are described. This treatment option clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of minimally invasive techniques in the treatment of liver abscesses. Thus, the article is a brief insight on the main aspects of the liver abscesses treatment, illustrated by a clinical example of successful treatment of post-traumatic liver abscess.
The role of affixal means of the Russian language in the development of the category of aspect
Authors:   Saratov State University, Kryuchkova Olga Yu.
Published: December 2024

By the beginning of the written period of the Russian language, the formation of new aspectual meanings in verbs is already noticeable.
The means of forming the category of aspect in the history of the Russian language are affixes: prefixes formalize the meaning of finiteness; suffixes
participate in expressing the meaning of non-finiteness. The initial stage of the formation of the category of aspect is semantic transformations of
prefixes. The processes of delocalization – neutralization of their initial spatial meanings – are developing in prefixes, and the semantic function
of expressing the meaning of general result is being formed. This process is accompanied by the development of prefixal synonymy, semantically
duplicating secondary prefixation in verbs with a general resultative meaning. The aspectual function of the prefixes, which originally had a vaguely
expressed perfective meaning, was strengthened by the development of special means of imperfectivation, such as a variety of suffixes (with
the suffix -iva/-yva prevailing). The competition of suffixal means of imperfectivation is expressed in the development of variation, secondary
duplicate suffixation in the circle of imperfective verbs, and changes in the aspectual function of suffixal verbs. Along with the stabilization of
the means of expressing the imperfective meaning, the aspectual (perfective) meaning of prefixes is strengthened. A notable role in this process
belongs to secondary prefixation as a means of removing the bi-aspectual meanings of prefixal verbs. Suffixes and prefixes play a crucial role
in the formation of the aspectual system of the Russian language. However, the nature of their participation in the formation of the category
of aspect in Russian is different. In the history of the Russian language special suffixes of imperfectivation appear, there are no special aspectforming prefixes, prefixes undergo a change in terms of content, they acquire the ability to act not only in the function of a word-forming, but also
an aspect-forming means. The history of the formation of the category of aspect in Russian indicates its morphological-derivational character.
The representation of childhood in the autobiographical narrative structure (F.-R. de Chateaubriand and George Sand)
Authors:   Donetsk State University, Popova Anna V.
Published: December 2024

The article considers the theme of childhood and the specific features of its representation in the Mémoires d’outre-tombe by F. R.
de Chateaubriand and Histoire de ma vie by Georges Sand. Childhood is seen as an integral structural element of the self-narrative, the artistic
concept of which is formed in the context of the era and the existing literary tradition. The conceptualization of the mechanisms of this process
seems to be important from the perspective of literary studies, as it allows us to reveal the variety of forms of Romantic worldview and trace their
dynamics. The comparative analysis of texts created by authors who belong to different literary generations and represent the extremes of the
French Romantic tradition in their work is aimed at exploring the mechanisms and individual features of the childhood representation within
the framework of the narrative model developed under the influence of Romanticism. The comparison of the two author’s concepts of childhood
reveals the general Romantic dominant perception of this phenomenon, demonstrates the evolution of views on the child in the culture of the
first half of the 19th century, and also reveals the specific nature of memoirists’ self-perception expressed in the techniques of recreating childhood. It is shown that Chateaubriand’s portrayal of childhood is focused exclusively on his own, in his opinion, unique experiences that allow
him to identify in a child the outlines of the future “son of the century”, a lonely and frustrated wanderer, while for George Sand her personal
experience becomes the material for analyzing the phenomenon of childhood itself. Using the material of her own memories, she creates both
a deeply intimate and psychologically convincing image of childhood, thereby expanding the palette of topoi formed by her predecessors and
forestalling the discoveries of age psychology. This study allows us to conclude that the two narrative models, while retaining the general Romantic
tendency to mythologize childhood, also distinctly record the transition from the marked egocentrism and introspection of the older generation
of Romantics to the overcoming of individualism and searching for new narrative strategies among writers who worked at a later stage of French
Romanticism and were influenced by new aesthetic, philosophical and social concepts.

The work publishes the responses of St. Petersburg press to the death of a literary historian, academician Alexander Nikolaevich Pypin.
The correspondence, notes, and obituaries of three newspapers – Peterburgskie Vedomosti, Rus’, and Novoye Vremya – for November 27–29, 1904 are
presented. The materials are arranged in the chronological order of their publication in each edition. In newspaper correspondence, notes with
exact date and time indication, event details, names of participants, a series of farewell events with A. N. Pypin were highlighted: the memorial
service, funeral procession, burial. This reliable factual information fills the gap in the Pypin historiography related to the issues of his death,
burial, as well as the first posthumous evaluations of his personality and activities expressed in the obituaries by his contemporaries. Periodicals
express the unity of opinions about the late scientist, the social and historical significance of his work is noted. The obituaries emphasize the role
of A. N. Pypin in educating the Russian society, in developing national consciousness, they highlight the popularity of his scientific research in
various fields of scientific knowledge in wide learned circles, his international scientific authority. The name of the scientist serves as the personification of enlightenment, progress, genuine public spirit, and high humanistic ideals. The published newspaper materials make it possible to
identify the attitude of the official authorities towards the scientist, to note their recognition of A. N. Pypin at the end of his life. The publication
is accompanied by an introductory article and comments. The material is included in the collection of M. N. Chernyshevsky of the main fund of

Published: December 2024

The article presents a comparative analysis of the extra-rational component of the development and implementation of state policy
in the aviation industry in the Soviet period and in modern Russia. The main conceptual components of the extra-rational block of state sectoral
policy are noted, as well as the main tools and mechanisms used by actors in decision-making to popularize the industry among the population.
Despite the wide range of relevant tools used to support the development of the aircraft industry among the population and the growing interest in the field among young people, it is concluded that there is insufficient work in this area in the context of creating works of mass culture,
popularizing the field through the images of historical and modern heroes.
Main scholarly interpretations of the relationship between general civic identity of young people and national security of the Russian Federation
Authors:   Saratov State University, Antsiferov Maxim E.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this article is to consider various scholarly interpretations of the relationship between the nature of political identity
of different age groups and ensuring national security in modern Russia. Based on the analysis of relevant segment of domestic scientific
discourse, it is concluded that the problem of the relationship between general civic identity of the younger generation and ensuring national
security in modern Russia is not singled out as a separate research area or a self-sufficient scientific problem. The author substantiates that
this perspective is very important from both theoretical and practical points of view, since the solution of all accumulated problems in Russian
society largely depends on the positioning of Russian youth in relation to the state and the main directions of its policy.

Introdução: COVID-19 é a infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2. Sua transmissão se dá pela inalação/contato de gotículas contaminadas. O agravo compromete o prognóstico nas Doenças e Agravos Crônicos não Transmissíveis (DANT), e, portanto, impôs métodos seguros para continuidade dos atendimentos clínicos essenciais, como a incorporação de Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TICs). Objetivo: Descrever da literatura científica achados sobre o uso de TICs em nutrição, comparando as ocorrências antes e após a pandemia da COVID-19. Materiais e Métodos: Revisão de literatura simples, em artigos publicados de 2017 a 2023, nas bases de dados: Google Acadêmico®, Scielo® e PubMed®. Além destas, consultou-se a Organização Pan- Americana de Saúde [OPAS] (2022), Organização Mundial de Saúde [OMS] e o Conselho Federal de Nutricionistas [CFN]. Utilizou-se as palavras-chave: “Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação”, “Nutrição”, “Saúde” e “COVID-19”. Resultados: Foram encontrados 18 estudos (08 de revisão, 03 transversais, 01 de caso, 02 cartilhas, 01 relato de experiência, 01 site, uma resolução e um questionário). Faz-se necessário maior atenção voltada ao público idoso e com DANT, quando ao uso de TICs. Onde na pós-pandemia houve maior número de publicações. Discussão: A literatura científica ainda é deficiente, quando se trata de pesquisas sobre TICs em nutrição no pós Pandemia de COVID-19. Conclusão: As TICs e assistência nutricional, emergiram de forma mais contundente durante a pandemia de COVID-19, devido a necessidade de continuidade de assistência nutricional remota.

As doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) são consideradas um dos maiores problemas de saúde pública. Dentre elas, destaca-se a doença renal crônica (DRC), que é caracterizada pela alteração da função renal. Assim como na DRC, a hipovitaminose D também se tornou um problema de saúde pública crescente na população. Muitos fatores podem explicar os baixos níveis dessa vitamina e sua suplementação é comumente utilizada como terapia auxiliar em pacientes com DRC. Entretanto, os efeitos nefroprotetores da vitamina D são mediados pelo gene receptor de vitamina D – VDR e uma alteração genética nesse receptor pode reduzir a efetividade dos tratamentos, piorando o prognóstico da doença. Este trabalho teve como objetivo revisar estudos que investigaram a associação entre polimorfismos do gene VDR e a suscetibilidade e progressão da DRC publicados nos últimos 10 anos (entre 2013 a 2023). A partir de uma busca nas bases de dados PUBMED, LILACS e COCHRANE, foram incluídos nove artigos que investigaram essa associação. Efeitos cardiometabólicos, seguidos de doença renal terminal e osteodistrofia foram os desfechos clínicos mais observados. Estes desfechos se associam aos diferentes polimorfismos do VDR. Mais estudos de associações genéticas para descrever os efeitos do polimorfismo do gene VDR sobre a DRC são necessários.

Introduction: The literature indicates that individuals with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) also present pain and changes in the posture of the cervical spine, but there are still few studies that have evaluated the strength of the cervical muscles. Objectives: To evaluate cervical muscle strength in young adults with and without temporomandibular disorders. Materials and Methods: Young adults aged 18 to 25 years from a private university, with and without a diagnosis of TMD and in good general health, participated in this study. Individuals with neck/head trauma were excluded; disc herniation and degeneration; systemic diseases such as fibromyalgia, lupus; pregnancy; anesthetic block during the last 3 months. Questionnaires with general data and the Fonseca Anamnestic Index were applied to evaluate the signs and symptoms of TMD and Neck Disability Index (NDI) to assess the level of disability related to pain in the cervical spine. The assessment of muscular strength of the cervical flexor and extensor muscles measured by maximal isometric voluntary contraction (MVIC) was performed using a manual dynamometer, model 2201163, Lafayette, IN, USA. Results: A higher frequency of signs and symptoms of moderate TMD was observed (53%). A reduction in muscle strength in the TMD group was identified in relation to the group without TMD for all movements, but a significant difference was observed only in the flexion movement. Conclusion: Individuals with TMD have lower muscle strength for all movements of the cervical spine compared to individuals who do not have the same condition, and this difference is significantly present for the flexion movement.

Published: December 2024

This research discusses the influence of the Sufi interpretation of the Qur'an in shaping cultural narratives and political discourses in Muslim society. This study addresses the under-explored influence of Sufism beyond its spiritual domain, specifically in cultural and political spheres. This study aims to fill this void by exploring how the Sufi interpretation of the Qur'an influences contemporary cultural identity and political dynamics. The methods used in this study are multidisciplinary approaches, including analysis of Sufi literature, art, and social practices. The study's findings suggest that Sufism has a significant role in shaping cultural narratives, promoting tolerance and social justice, and providing a framework of thought that influences political discourse in Muslim communities. This study recommends that future studies focus more on Sufism's contribution to Islamic political thought and its relevance in the modern context. This research also emphasizes the importance of considering the spiritual dimension in analyzing cultural and political phenomena to understand the role of religion in shaping the social and political landscape more comprehensively.

Published: December 2024

Waste baked clay is an industrial waste that causes environmental pollution. Therefore, the possible utilization of this material would reduce environmental pollution. Utilization of baked clay as aggregate in concrete would have a positive effect on the economy. There are many studies on examining concrete as a granular composite. However, there are few studies on the examination of industrial or construction demolition wastes, which are used as aggregate in concrete, with granular composite models. This study was conducted to contribute to filling this gap in the literature. In concrete production, Portland cement, river sand, 4-32 mm in size crushed stone and crushed baked clay as coarse and medium aggregate in the replacement ratio of 0%, 50% and 100% were used. Compression tests were conducted on specimens. Stress-strain curves were drawn as a graph. Elasticity modulus were determined experimentally. Elasticity modulus were calculated using granular composite models. Experimental and calculated elasticity modulus were compared and examined. According to the results, it was determined that these wastes could be evaluated in concrete production and used in the elasticity modulus calculation of granular composite models.
Freeze-thaw and drop-weight impact resistance of fiber-reinforced pervious concretes produced using recycled pervious concrete aggregate
Authors: Yavuz Demet
Published: December 2024

Pervious concrete can rapidly drain stormwater from the top layer to the sublayer. However, the porous structure of this concrete also results in low mechanical properties, which prevent the widespread use of pervious concrete around the world. This study investigated the freeze-thaw and drop-weight resistances of pervious concrete produced with recycled pervious concrete aggregate. Two different aggregate types (limestone and recycled) and two different aggregate size fractions (15/25 mm and 5/15 mm) were used to examine the effect of aggregate type and gradation. Additionally, for improving mechanical and durability properties, polypropylene fibers were used at three different dosages by the volume of mixtures (0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3%). Within the scope of the study, compressive, splitting-tensile, and flexural strengths, effective porosity, freeze-thaw, abrasion, and impact resistance of pervious concrete were determined. The results showed that concrete produced with recycled aggregate had some advantages in terms of porosity; however, its mechanical properties, freeze-thaw, and impact resistance were lower than those of pervious concretes produced with limestone aggregate. Additionally, fiber addition decreased the compressive strength and effective porosity of pervious concrete. However, up to a certain point (0.2%), fiber addition improved abrasion, freeze-thaw, and impact resistance, as well as splitting tensile and flexural behavior of pervious concrete.

Published: December 2024

Indonesia has increasingly integrated maltodextrin, a non-sweet soluble powder derived from starch hydrolysis that is favored for its neutral color, taste, and cost-effectiveness, into its food industry owing to its history of utilizing starch-rich crops such as sago and cassava. This review examines the production processes, chemical properties, and applications of maltodextrin, particularly as an encapsulating agent in food products. This review discusses enzymatic hydrolysis and the significance of degree of polymerization (DP) in determining the functional characteristics of maltodextrin.

Malaria-endemic countries in Africa have recorded the lowest number of covid-19 cases and deaths compared to other countries. Pre-existing Naturally acquired Immunity to malaria was an hypothesis that was stated to explain this situation. In a context where malaria is endemic, we carried out this study in order to investigate the existence of antibody cross-reactivity between COVID-19 and malaria and to estimate the seroprevalence of COVID-19 during the third year of the pandemic in the plateau central Region in Burkina Faso. Samples collected in 2007 and positive for IgG against Plasmodium falciparum alpha-helical coiled coil proteins were used to look for a possible antibody cross-reactivity with SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Samples collected in 2022 were used to estimate the seroprevalence of COVID-19. A total of 628 individuals of both sexes, aged over 5 years were enrolled. The seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was measured using an ELISA test and an RDT. All the samples collected in 2007 showed no cross-reactivity between SARS-CoV-2 and Plasmodium falciparum. The seroprevalence during the third year of the pandemic was 100% and 86.88% respectively by ELISA and RDT. The proportions of IgG and IgM antibodies were respectively 86.56% and 2.81%. The results did not show antibody cross-reactivity between SARS-CoV2 and Plasmodium falciparum in the study population. High exposure to SARS-CoV-2 was found in the study area in 2022. Due to their high specificity, WANTAI ELISA and Right Sign RDT can be considered as good serological tools for COVID-19 serosurveillance in a context where malaria is endemic.
Protein Structure Prediction, Structural Bioinformatics and Deep Learning
Authors: Agarwal Tejas
Published: December 2024

Protein structure prediction is essential for understanding protein stability, and interactions. It holds immense potential for drug discovery and protein engineering. However, despite advancements in structural bioinformatics and artificial intelligence, a standardised model for structure prediction still needs to be worked out. Even prominent models like AlphaFold often undergo architectural changes. To address this gap, a comprehensive detail of recent progress and challenges in deep learning-based protein structure prediction has been presented. Additionally, a benchmark system for structure prediction and visualization, enabling analysis of user-provided protein sequences has been introduced. Looking to the need for efficient and accurate methods to decipher protein structures and their biological roles, DeepProtein has been introduced. This model leverages the potent representation learning capabilities of the Transformer architecture to directly predict secondary and tertiary structures from integer-encoded amino acid sequences. The results demonstrate DeepProtein’s effectiveness in secondary structure prediction. Further refinement is necessary to enhance its performance in predicting higher-order structures. The present document highlights the potential of Transformer-based architectures for structure prediction, paving the way for future research in structural bioinformatics and related fields.

This study was carried out in the slaughter areas of the city of Napiéin order to evaluate the morphological characteristics and condition of cattle carcasses. To achieve this, different parameters were determined on the cattle admitted to slaughter. Thus, the sex and breed was determined by visual observation, the body condition score and the condition of the carcasses (state of fattening, conformation, coloring, carcass weight and yield) were assessed according to rating grids. Concerning live weight and carcass weight, they were estimated respectively using a Livestock Weight Measuring Tape and scale. The results showed that the cattle most slaughtered in the slaughter areas of Napie were taurines with 86.06% of the numbers slaughtered, the majority of which (68.92%) had an age between [4; 8 years]. The average body condition score of Zebu cattle (4.07 ± 0.47), the average live weight (255.08 ± 87.94 kg) was significantly higher (P < 0.005) than those of Taurine cattle (3, 24 ± 1.56 for body condition score and 175.76 ± 44.50 kg for live weight). Taurine males also had an average live weight (217.68 ± 40.11 kg) significantly smaller than that of Zebus (133.84 ± 26.55. In view of these values, it appears that the animals slaughtered in the slaughter areas of the city of Napié have high quality carcasses. However, a study carried out throughout the year will confirm these results.

The Horn of Africa has witnessed an upsurge in desert locust invasions (Schistocerca gregaria Forskål). Curiously, the first-line of management is often based on traditional methods. We assessed the effectiveness the traditional methods of desert locust control in two rural arid areas in Kenya between 2019 and 2020 using a questionnaire survey. Large swarms of desert locusts were observed during the migratory, feeding, and developmental stages during the driest months. Most of the identified stages were adults and 3rd nymphal instars. The past desert locust preventive strategies among the respondents were early planting, high seed rates, early warning strategies, and information interchange. The physical/mechanical control strategies used by the respondents during the outbreaks included digging up eggs, handpicking, smoking, and baiting. The cultural desert locust control strategies used by the respondents were noise from beating drums, metallic containers, and motorbike hooting. These methods had low effectiveness in controlling desert locust populations. Traditional methods of locust control should not rely solely on desert locust management. There is a need to integrate these traditional methods with new methods for desert locust control only when the swarms are low.

Published: December 2024

Emergence of resistance against commonly used antibiotics has become a serious global concern. The emergence of antimicrobial or multidrug resistance to standard antibiotics associated with Staphylococcus aureus causes a benefit of interest to ayurvedic drugs as an effective means of control. Acetone, ethanol, methanol, and aqueous hot and cold extracts of nine ayurvedic churnas viz Manjishta, Kadunimchal, Neempati, Behada, Arjusal, Trikatu, Dhataki, Jati and Marich were tested for their antibacterial action against three multidrug resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from clinical samples. Ethanol and acetone extracts of Kadunimchal, behada & Jati were found bactericidal against all three strains. Antibiogram studies revealed the antibacterial pattern of many churnas against the MDR Staphylococcus aureus strains and potential use of ayurvedic formulations against infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

Published: December 2024

The current study focuses on the screening and identification of halophilic bacteria from different habitats of Odisha for selecting a potentmulti-metal resistance bacterium. The halophilic bacteria were isolated and screened with NaCl concentration using 0%-24% (w/v). The selected halophiles were studied for their growth, colony morphology, sodium content, flavonoid content and multi-metal resistance. The isolated bacteria were found to be moderately halophilic to slight halophilic in nature due to the presence of salt such as sodium, magnesium and bicarbonate in the collected samples. The result showed the utmost number of viable cells (1.65 to 5.40 cfu/mL) is due to the hypersaline nature making the bacterial cells suitable to grow under 15%-18% (w/v) NaCl concentration. They were found to be gram-positive and organized in single rods and clusters. The presence of sodium (0.018-0.249 mg/L) were confirmed with the help of flame photometry in the halophiles. The flavonoid content (0.074-0.330 mg/mL) indicated the presence of antioxidant activity.AS’S-I strain found to be potent multi-metal resistant halophilic bacteria analysed through SEM analysis. Molecular identification of AS’S-I confirmed the Halomonassp. The study suggests that AS’S-I halophilic bacteria could be used for the multi-metal removal.
