    Abstract The most common pathological condition, dental caries when remain untreated which shows pulpal involvement and may lead to invasive treatment, such as crown placement followed by pulp therapy. Larger carious lesions on primary molars stainless steel crowns (SSCs) placement by means of conventional tooth preparation. The modern approach to managing carious lesions concentrates on using less invasive treatment techniques, with the focus being on biofilm change. One among such alternative method of managing the primary molars is the Hall's technique. Another most important factor for the survival of a crown is its sealing ability, in which luting cements, such as adhesive cements, have a crucial role as they help in providing a suitable marginal seal and thereby cause a reduction in the microleakage. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has proven anticariogenic activity in arresting carious lesions. Hence the aim was to evaluate and compare the microleakage of SSCs placed by Hall's technique, Hall's technique with SDF, and the conventional crown technique using different luting cements. A total of 60 primary first and second molars with occlusoproximal caries, which were initial and moderate in nature. The blocks were randomly divided into three groups, in which precontoured SSCs were applied by using either the Hall's technique or the conventional technique. After subjecting tothermocycling, the samples were examined under stereomicroscopic for microleakage evaluation. A few samples were randomly selected from each subgroup, and a scanning electron microscopic (SEM) examination was done. Highest values of microleakage were noted with Hall's technique resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGIC) luting cement group. It can be concluded from the present study that the conventional technique was found to be superior over the Hall's technique with SDF and then by the Hall's group alone. SDF application beneath the Hall's crown appears to be promising approach for the reduction of microleakage.

    Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is endemic in several developing countries of Africa and Asia. It mainly causes self-limiting waterborne infections, in either sporadic or outbreak form. Recently, HEV was shown to cause chronic infections in immunosuppressed individuals. Ribavirin and interferon, the current off-label treatment options for hepatitis E, have several side effects. Hence, there is a need for new drugs. We evaluated the antimalarial drug artesunate (ART) against genotype 1 HEV (HEV-1) and HEV-3 using a virus-replicon-based cell culture system. ART exhibited 59% and 43% inhibition of HEV-1 and HEV-3, respectively, at the highest nontoxic concentration. Computational molecular docking analysis showed that ART can bind to the helicase active site (affinity score, -7.4 kcal/mol), indicating its potential to affect ATP hydrolysis activity. An in vitro ATPase activity assay of the helicase indeed showed 24% and 55% inhibition at 19.5 µM (EC

    Abstract Gingivitis is the most common form of oral disease especially among patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Green tea, which is extensively used in Asian countries, can help to improve the overall gingival health, which can be assessed by using the gingival indices. Evaluation of the effectiveness of green tea on the gingival health of patients undergoing Orthodontic treatment is of interest. 40 otherwise healthy patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment were randomly divided in two groups namely (1) study group and (2) control group. Gingival indices were scored for all the patients. Study group was given mouth rinse with green tea extract and control group was given placebo with no green tea extract. Gingival indices were measured for all the patients after 21 days. Mann Whitney U test and Wilcoxon test was used for statistical analysis. The gingival indices scoring in which the values before and after the use of mouthwash were compared. The p value was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05) in study group. But in control group statistical significant could not be reached.

    Abstract Introduction: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has compelled medical education institutes to impart knowledge to the undergraduate MBBS students through online medium. In order to adopt the new online pedagogy it is important to understand perceptions of students and their educators. Further, it is imperative for us to know the shortcomings of online teaching methodologies to develop and inculcate newer teaching methods to maintain quality education. Aim: To understand the perception and challenges faced by the first year MBBS students, faculty and their parents during the compelling online classes as teaching methodology compared to Offline. Materials and Methods: The present study was questionnaire- based, cross-sectional conducted in the Department of Biochemistry, Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) Medical College and Hospital, Faridabad, Haryana, India, between August 2021 and October 2021. The present study included students of MBBS first year (n=123), faculty (n=27) from ESIC Medical College and Hospital, Faridabad, India, and parents/ guardians of students (n=94). A five-point Likert scale was used to determine the perception of students/faculty/parents. Mean value calculated greater than 3 was considered disagreement and less than 3 as agreement. Online mode (Edumarshal software, Google forms) was used. Statistical analysis was done calculating mean, Standard Deviation (SD) and Paired t-test was used to study significance of study parameters on continuous scale. Results: Student’s perception was that offline teaching was significantly better than online classes in term of enthusiasm, interaction, clarity, periodic assessments (p-value<0.001). Faculty perceived that interference of the external environment was significantly more during online class (Mean±SD=1.07±0.99), periodical assessments were better conducted offline (Mean±SD=1.04±1.05) compared to online. From parent’s view, offline teaching was preferred than online teaching for their ward (Mean±SD=1.75±1.04). Conclusion: ...

    Abstract Introduction: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is employed as an adjunct cariostatic agent in the management of dental caries in high-risk population. Other than fluorides, chlorhexidine (CHX) is the most potent antimicrobial and efficacious agent against Streptococcus mutans.
    Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate and differentiate the efficacy of 38% silver diamine fluoride, CHX varnish, and fluoride varnish on carious primary teeth.
    Materials and methods: Ninety children having a count of ≥1 carious lesion were recruited. Thirty-eighty percent silver diamine fluoride or fluoride varnish and CHX varnish were topically applied on the lesion. The primary outcome measured was the arrest of carious lesion (lesion rendered inactive as per the Nyvad criteria) after a follow-up of 14-21 days. Dental biofilm sample was obtained from each child and subsequently assessed for microbial composition by colony-forming unit method before and after treatment followed by protein analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis method.
    Results: Average proportion of arrested caries lesions in the SDF group was higher followed by CHX and fluoride varnish groups. Decreased total protein amount was found in SDF group. This proves that there is decrease in microbial load posttreatment in SDF group.
    Conclusion: Thirty-eight percent SDF is more effective than CHX varnish and fluoride varnish in arresting dentin carious lesions in young children.

    Abstract Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a commonly occurring disease in aging men. It involves cellular proliferation of stromal and glandular tissues leading to prostate enlargement. Current drug therapies show several adverse effects such as sexual dysfunctions and cardiovascular side effects. Therefore, there is a need to develop more effective medical treatment for BPH. In this regard, we aimed to identify genes which play a critical role in BPH. We have obtained the dataset of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of BPH from NCBI GEO. DEGs were investigated in the context of their protein-protein interactions (PPI). Hub genes i.e. genes associated with BPH were scrutinized based on the topological parameters of the PPI network. These were analyzed for functional annotations, pathway enrichment analysis and transcriptional regulation. In total, 38 hub genes were identified. Hub genes such as transcription factor activator protein-1 and adiponectin were found to play key roles in cellular proliferation and inflammation. Another gene peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma was suggested to cause obesity, a common comorbidity of BPH. Moreover, our results indicated an important role of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling and smooth muscle cell proliferation which may be responsible for prostate overgrowth and associated lower urinary tract symptoms frequently encountered in BPH patients. Zinc finger protein Snai1 was the most prominent transcription factor regulating the expression of hub genes that participate in TGF-β signaling. Overall, our study has revealed significant hub genes that can be employed as drug targets to develop potential therapeutic interventions to treat BPH.
