Background & Objective: The combination of two or more therapeutic agents and their synergetic impacts can be therapeutically effective against multifactorial diseases, such as diabetic foot ulcers. This study demonstrates the application of a nanofiber-based drug delivery system with a controlled release of the growth factor. Various studies have shown that vascular endothelial growth facto...

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been widely used in clinics for years. However, their bio-inert surface challenges application in patients with compromised surgical conditions. Numerous studies were conducted to modify the surface topography and chemical composition of Ti substrates, for the purpose of obtaining antibacterial, angiogenic, and osteogenic activities. In this study, using green ...

Vitex trifolia (Local name - Nirnocchi, sirunocchi) is well known for its medicinal property. The present investigation encompasses evaluation of antibacterial potential of Vitex trifolia against certain pathogenic bacterial strains. Preliminary phytochemical studies were also made and results are given.

Fifty bacterial isolates comprising Staphylococcus aureusand Staphylococcus albusfrom six pathological sources were exposed to honey and its fractional dilutions as also as to two standard antibiotics - cloxacillin (5 mg/ml) and ampicillin (10 mg/ml) - in an agar-cup diffusion sensitivity test. The undiluted honey showed antibacterial activity against almost 100% of the bacterial isolates while...

In the present study the adaptogenic activities of the saponin fractions of the leaves and roots of Polyscias fruticosa (L) Harms (Araliaceae) were studied in comparision wit white panax ginseng root saponins. The antibacterial activity of the polyacetylenic compound in leaves were also studied. The adaptogenic activity studies showed that polyscias fruticosa leaf and root saponins have effecti...

The purpose of the present study to examine the antibacterial and cytotoxic properties of ethanol extract of leaves of Mikania cordata (Burm.f.) B.L. Robinson. To determine antibacterial activities, the extract was tested against four Gram positive and six Gram negative bacteria at three concentrations (500, 800, 1000 μg disc(-1)) through disc diffusion method. The extract showed moderate antib...

This paper aims to explore the antibacterial property of nano Ag/TiO2 coating bracket for the common bacteria in oral cavity, and discuss its biocompatibility. Micro morphology in the surface of nano Ag/TiO2 coating bracket was detected by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and surface roughness of ordinary mental bracket, nano TiO2 coating bracket and nano Ag/TiO2 coating bracket were measure...
