RESUMO
Background: Distilled liquid smoke from coconut shell(Cocos nucifera L.) by pyrolysis process with final0 0temperature 400 C and then distilled in 120-150 C. Thecharacteristics of distilled liquid smoke are yellow3liquid, with acidity 2.39 and density 1.0643 g/cm . Themajor identified compounds arephenol (36.6%), 2-methoxyphenol (guaiacol) (25.2%), furfural (17.8%),2-methoxy-5-methylphenol (5.2%) and 4-ethyl-2-methoxyphenol (EMP) (3.5%) with 28 other minorconstituents by GCMS. Aim and Objectives: Distilledliquid smoke was examined to investigate its potentialtherapeutic to oral ulcer healing and diabetic conditionon the rat. Furthermore, the clinical oral ulcer healingwas evaluated based on ulcer size and diabetic wasevaluated based on Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) andbody weight changes. Material and Methods: Diabeteswas induced by alloxan. Seventy-two hours afterinjection, the diabetic condition was confirmed withFBG of >200mg/dl, then the labial fornix anterior wasinjured to induce oral ulcer using round steel blade.Results: The clinical oral ulcer healing was improvedafter treatment with distillated liquid smoke comparedto benzydamine hydrochloride and aquadest sterile forthree days (p=0.005) and seven days (p=0.000).Treatment for seven days with distilled liquid smokeshowed significant improvement of the body masschanges compared to benzydamine hydrochloride(p=0.008) and aquadest sterile (p=0.002). There wasno improvement of FBG after treatment with distilledliquid smoke (p=0.152). Conclusion: Treatment withdistilled liquid smoke coconut shell can improved oralulcer healing and body weight changes, but not FBGchanges
RESUMO
Abstract The aim of this study was to find the role of TLR2 signaling pathway in reducing osteoclast activity and promoting osteoblast growth by inducing a combination of Aloe vera and cancellous bovine xenograft (XCB) into dental extraction socket. Forty-eight Cavia cobayas were used. They were divided into eight groups (n=6). For control group, their mandibular incisors were extracted and filled with PEG. For treatment groups, they were extracted and filled with XCB, Aloe vera and the combination of Aloe vera and XCB. The first four groups were sacrificed after 7 days and the other groups after 30 days. Immunohistochemistry and histopathology examination were conducted to examine TLR2, TNFa, OPG, collagen-1, and the osteoblast and osteoclast expressions. The expressions of TLR2, OPG and Collagen-1, as well as the number of osteoblast were increased. Meanwhile, the expressions of TNFa and osteoclast were decreased. The study finding was that TLR2 signaling pathway influenced alveolar bone osteogenesis process by reducing osteoclast activity and stimulating osteoblast growth induced by the combination of Aloe vera and XCB.
Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o papel da via de sinalização de TLR2 na redução da atividade osteoclástica e na promoção do crescimento de osteoblastos, induzindo uma combinação de Aloe vera e enxerto de osso esponjoso bovino (EOEB) em alvéolo de extração dentária. Quarenta e oito Cavia cobayas foram utilizados e divididos em 8 grupos (n = 6). Para o grupo de controle, seus incisivos mandibulares foram extraídos e preenchidos com polietilenoglicol (PEG). Para grupos de tratamento, os dentes foram extraídos e preenchidos com EOEB, Aloe vera e a combinação de Aloe vera e EOEB. Os primeiros quatro grupos foram sacrificados após 7 dias e os outros grupos após 30 dias. As análises de imunohistoquímica e histopatologia foram realizada para examinar TLR2, TNFa OPG, colágeno-1 e as expressões de osteoblastos e osteoclastos. Houve maior expressão de TLR2, FGF2, OPG e colágeno-1, bem como maior número de osteoblastos. Enquanto isso, a expressão de TNFa e osteoclastos estava diminuída. O principal achado do estudo foi que a via de sinalização de TLR2 influenciou o processo de osteogênese do osso alveolar, reduzindo a atividade dos osteoclastos e estimulando o crescimento de osteoblastos induzido pela combinação de Aloe vera e EOEB.
