ABSTRACT

Background/Purpose:
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease due to microbial plaque that causes bone loss and tooth mobility. Its prevention and treatment include microbial plaque control, which is presently attained by both mechanical and chemical methods. This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial effect of the hydroalcoholic extract of Elettaria cardamomum on Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) which is one of the most important bacterium of periodontitis.

Materials and Methods:
The hydroalcoholic extract of E. cardamomum was obtained by the maceration method in the Traditional Medicine of Tehran University Medical Sciences Department. The Aa (Jp2nov99) bacterial strain was cultured. The inhibition zone diameter of Aa was measured by agar-well diffusion methods for concentrations of 25% and 50% of E. cardamomum. The mean group’s inhibition zone diameter was analyzed using the SPSS software. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values of this extract were determined by the broth microdilution method. Chlorhexidine 0.2% was used as a control and the results were compared.

Results:
The inhibition zone diameter of this extract was measured at different concentrations. The highest and the lowest diameters of 20.5 mm and 20.0 mm were associated with 50% and 25% concentrations, respectively. The MIC and MBC values for this bacterium were at 0.0039 mg/ml and 0.0039 mg/ml as compared with 0.00065 mg/ml and 0.00098 mg/ml for 0.2% of chlorhexidine.

Conclusion:
The hydroalcoholic extract of E. cardamomum has an antibacterial effect on the Aa bacterium and may be used in mouthwash as an alternative to chlorhexidine.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE TO INTERDISCIPLINARY DENTISTRY
A suitable mouthwash is an auxiliary factor in preventing periodontal diseases and caries. It can reduce the need for restorative, endo and prosthetic treatments.

Abstract

Aims and Objectives:
The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the remineralization effect of calcium glycerophosphate (CaGP) in fluoride mouth rinse on permanent enamel eroded by a soft drink.

Materials and Methods:
Forty sound permanent premolars were embedded in self-curing acrylic resin and immersed in Coca-Cola to create erosive lesions. The teeth were divided into four groups (n = 10): Group I artificial saliva; Group II sodium fluoride; Group III sodium fluoride + sodium monofluorophosphate; and Group IV sodium monofluorophosphate + CaGP. The specimens in the assigned groups underwent pH cycling for ten days. The baseline, after erosion, and after remineralization surface microhardness (SMH) values were determined. The data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The mean SMH value between groups and one-way repeated measures ANOVA for the mean SMH value within each group and Bonferroni’s for multiple comparisons at a 95% confidence level were determined. The average SMH was used and calculated as the percentage recovery of SMH.

Results:
After being eroded by the cola soft drink, the mean SMH values in all groups were significantly decreased. After remineralization, Group I had the lowest %SMHR. The %SMHR of Groups II, III, and IV were significantly higher than Group I (P < 0.001). However, there were no significant differences among Groups II, III, and IV (P > 0.05).

Conclusions:
Fluoride mouth rinse with and without CaGP showed similar efficacies in remineralizing eroded permanent enamel.

On rice (Oryza sativa L.), more than 70 diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes have been listed. Among them, the blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae B. Couch (syn. Pyricularia oryzae Cavara) seriously threatens global rice production worldwide. Effective management strategies such as the use of resistant cultivars and the application of fungicides individually cannot sustainably contain rice blast disease, because of the emergence of resistance genes and environmental threats. Therefore, applying bioagents to reduce M. oryzae infections, complete other strategies, and reduce pesticide dependence. The present work was carried out to evaluate the potential of not only plant rhizosphere-associated fungi in controlling Magnaporthe oryzae but also the effectiveness of five fungicides in coculture in vitro. Twenty-three biocontrol fungi mainly Trichoderma and Penicillium evaluated on six M. oryzae isolates were found to reduce pathogen growth in dual culture assay. The results obtained highlighted the good ability of bioagents to inhibit the growth of M. oryzae by 82.7 to 97% at 7 days after incubation. In addition, the fungicides tested namely Amistar, Horizon, Opu, Spartaktak, and Signum successfully inhibited the mycelial growth of M. oryzae. The major outcome of our study was evidence that all M. oryzae isolates were susceptible to the fungicides tested through their concentration (ppm) of 50% (EC50). No pathogen isolate was hypersensitive or resistant to fungicides with the EC50 average values of 0.24, 0.25, 0.28, 0.33, and 0.38 mg/l respectively for Spartak, Signum, Horizon, Amistar, and Opus. These good bioagents must be tested on plants in the greenhouse and the best of them could be used in IPM strategy with the combination of resistant cultivars and a reasoned use of fungicides for blast disease control.
Petrochemistry of Charnockitic Rocks of Awo-Osuntedo Area, southwestern Nigeria

Published: August 2023

The petrochemistry of charnockitic rocks from the Awo-Osuntedo area of southwestern Nigeria were investigated with the objectives of presenting their petrogenesis and geotectonic setting at the time of their emplacement. The rocks were mainly found within the migmatitic gneiss country rock and associated pegmatites. They occurred as small intrusive bodies and are composed mainly of orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, quartz, biotite, secondary amphibole, plagioclase and alkaline feldspars with a small compositional range between basic and intermediate respectively for Awo and Osuntedo rocks. The small Eu* anomalies (0.9-1.47) with an average of 1.2 combined with elemental signatures indicate that the rocks were derived from an enriched mantle with some crustal contamination and emplaced in an environment similar to the arc region of tectonic setting. Though, the rocks have dry mineral assemblages, there is no geochemical evidence to suggest they were derived from melting that was associated with granulite facies metamorphism rather the small sizes of the plutons and the geochemical signatures particularly high magnesian and calc-alkaline nature are typical of the Caledonian type charnockite formed during delamination of thickened continental crust after collisional orogeny.
Zum diachronen Wandel der phorischen Markierung beim katalanischen Relativum
Authors: Thielemann Werner 
Published: August 2023

The grammatical area of ​​the relatives has a rather large variety of forms and possibilities of expression. Pronouns inherited from Latin can summarize the morphological and grammatical categories of the antecedent noun, they have the function of a resumptive. They allow the variation of the phoric configurations between the antecedent and the relative pronoun. However, in Catalan, there has been a remarkable change in the forms of expression from the 12th/13th centuries to the present day.
Historically, as can be seen in the comparison with Latin, there has been a permanent reduction and corruption of the phoric marks (j-marking) to the neutral marking of subject and direct complement in que. With this, the function of the resumptive is eliminated. Nowadays, the situation of Catalan is comparable to that of Spanish and Portuguese. What marks the Catalan changes in the area of ​​the relative, is the fact that the loss of the resumptive is accompanied by strategies of functional deviation that are highly interesting from the linguistic point of view.
As a typological consequence of the loss of the resumptive, today's Catalan prefers contact positions for the simple relatives. The uses in distance require the use of complex relatives: el qual, la qual, etc, which are considered heavy, inelegant and complicated.
