    Abstract Background: There is an urgent need to update the evidence available on the efficacy of photobiomodulation (PBM) in comparison to topical corticosteroids in the management of Oral Lichen Planus (OLP).
    Methods: Cochrane Oral Health's Trials Register, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials in the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE Pubmed, SCOPUS, Lilacs and Google Scholar were searched. Other sources included US National Institutes of Health Ongoing Trials Register, World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform and Clinical Trial Registry - India were searched using variations of the keywords "Laser" and "Oral Lichen Planus". Randomized controlled trials comparing PBM and topical corticosteroids in the resolution of pain among OLP patients were included. The studies were assessed using the Cochrane Risk-of-Bias assessment tool. Publication bias was assessed using a funnel plot, and the certainty of evidence was evaluated according to the GRADE guidelines.
    Results: Ten studies were included for qualitative assessment and of these eight were included in the meta-analysis. The included studies used laser parameters of varying strengths and duration. Meta-analysis favoured PBM (n = 274, MD =-0.48, CI -0.66- -0.30) for pain score. No adverse effects were reported for laser therapy. There was high heterogeneity and moderate certainty of evidence, and most studies had a high risk of bias.
    Conclusion: There is improvement in the clinical parameters of OLP when treated with PBM in comparison to topical corticosteroids. However, the strength of the evidence for these findings in limited. It is recommended to conduct better long-term trials with large sample size.

    Abstract Immunosenescence is a pertinent factor in the mortality rate caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The changes in the immune system are strongly associated with age and provoke the deterioration of the individual's health. Traditional medical practices in ancient India effectively deal with COVID-19 by boosting natural immunity through medicinal plants. The anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties of Glycyrrhiza glabra are potent in fighting against COVID-19 and promote immunity boost against the severity of the infection. Athimadhura Chooranam, a polyherbal formulation containing Glycyrrhiza glabra as the main ingredient, is recommended as an antiviral Siddha herb by the Ministry of AYUSH. This paper is intended to identify the phytoconstituents of Glycyrrhiza glabra that are actively involved in preventing individuals from COVID-19 transmission. The modulated pathways, enrichment study, and drug-likeness are calculated from the target proteins of the phytoconstituents at the pharmacological activity (Pa) of more than 0.7. Liquiritigenin and Isoliquiritin, the natural compounds in Glycyrrhiza glabra, belong to the flavonoid class and exhibit ameliorative effects against COVID-19. The latter compound displays a higher protein interaction to a maximum of six, out of which HMOX1, PLAU, and PGR are top-hub genes. ADMET screening further confirms the significance of the abovementioned components containing better drug-likeness. The molecular docking and molecular dynamics method identified liquiritigenin as a possible lead molecule capable of inhibiting the activity of the major protease protein of SARS-CoV-2. The findings emphasize the importance of in silico network pharmacological assessments in delivering cost-effective, time-bound clinical drugs.

    Abstract Oxidative stress is a recognized factor that poses a significant risk for the development of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) and Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF), as it leads to the generation of Reactive Oxygen Species. In recent years, there has been significant research on the enzymes MDA (malondialdehyde) and SOD (superoxide dismutase), investigating their potential role in the development of OPMD and OSCC. These enzymes have emerged as promising biomarkers due to their ability to provide a less invasive, cost-effective, and objective diagnostic method. Furthermore, they can be used to monitor disease progression and assess the effectiveness of therapy. The aim of this study was to assess the levels of MDA and SOD in the serum of patients diagnosed with OSCC and OSMF. Study group comprised of 60 patients, out of which 20 cases of clinically diagnosed OSCC patients and 20 cases of OSMF and 20 cases pf control comprising of healthy patients were recruited. Estimation MDA and SOD was done by ELISA. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS analysis. When comparing the levels of MDA and SOD between the OSCC and OSMF groups and the control group, statistically significant findings indicated elevated levels of malondialdehyde and reduced levels of superoxide dismutase in both the OSCC and OSMF groups. In this study, the assessment of lipid peroxidation through MDA levels revealed elevated concentrations in both the OSCC and OSMF groups when compared to the control group. Specifically, the order of MDA levels was observed as OSCC > OSMF > Control. Conversely, antioxidant enzyme levels, such as SOD, exhibited decreased concentrations in the OSCC and OSMF groups compared to the control group, with the order of SOD levels being Control > OSMF > OSCC. Consequently, the findings suggest that MDA and SOD can be considered potential biomarkers for identifying and monitoring OSCC and OSMF diseases.

    Abstract Context: Growth factors and cytokines like transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) play a key role in the pathogenesis of oral submucous fibrosis.
    Aims: To elucidate the role of Salivary TGF-β isoforms as a predictive and diagnostic marker for oral submucous fibrosis.
    Settings and design: A total of 30 OSMF and 10 control patients were included in this study, and their clinic-epidemiological data was recorded.
    Methodology: The expression of TGF-β genes-TGF-β1, TGF-β2, TGF-β3-was studied by a real-time polymerase chain reaction in tissue and saliva. Patients were given medicinal intervention for 12 weeks along with jaw-opening exercises. Expression of salivary TGF-β genes was studied at 12 weeks.
    Statistical analysis used: SPSS software version 20.
    Result: Expression of salivary TGF beta isoforms in OSMF was more than in the control group. There was an increase in salivary TGF-β1, β2, β3 expressions with increasing clinical grades of OSMF and advancing the stage of the disease. Expression of all the TGF beta isoforms was decreased after treatment with statistically significant results. Statistically significant correlations were found between the mean difference of TGF-β1 and the mean difference between mouth opening and tongue protrusion.
    Conclusion: Salivary TGF-β isoforms may be used in diagnosis, risk assessment, and screening of the entire population at risk of OSMF after its clinical validation. However, adequate sample size and segmental assessment of the expression of TGF-β isoforms are needed for further evaluation.

    Abstract The genomic reshuffling, mutagenicity, and high transmission rate of the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen highlights an urgent need for effective antiviral interventions for COVID-19 control. Targeting the highly conserved viral genes and/or gene-encoded viral proteins such as main proteinase (Mᵖʳᵒ), RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and helicases are plausible antiviral approaches to prevent replication and propagation of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Coronaviruses (CoVs) are prone to extensive mutagenesis; however, any genetic alteration to its highly conserved Mᵖʳᵒ enzyme is often detrimental to the viral pathogen. Therefore, inhibitors that target the Mᵖʳᵒ enzyme could reduce the risk of mutation-mediated drug resistance and provide effective antiviral protection. Several existing antiviral drugs and dietary bioactives are currently repurposed to treat COVID-19. Dietary bioactives from three ayurvedic medicinal herbs, 18 β-glycyrrhetinic acid (ΔG = 8.86 kcal/mol), Solanocapsine (ΔG = 8.59 kcal/mol), and Vasicoline (ΔG = 7.34 kcal/mol), showed high-affinity binding to Mᵖʳᵒ enzyme than the native N3 inhibitor (ΔG = 5.41 kcal/mol). Flavonoids strongly inhibited SARS-CoV-2 Mᵖʳᵒ with comparable or higher potency than the antiviral drug, remdesivir. Several tannin hydrolysates avidly bound to the receptor-binding domain and catalytic dyad (His₄₁ and Cys₁₄₅) of SARS‐CoV‐2 Mᵖʳᵒ through H-bonding forces. Quercetin binding to Mᵖʳᵒ altered the thermostability of the viral protein through redox-based mechanism and inhibited the viral enzymatic activity. Interaction of quercetin-derivatives with the Mᵖʳᵒ seem to be influenced by the 7-OH group and the acetoxylation of sugar moiety on the ligand molecule. Based on pharmacokinetic and ADMET profiles, several phytonutrients could serve as a promising redox nutraceutical for COVID-19 management.
