In this paper, a new formulation of nasal spray was set up based on the extract of lemon pulp, obtained by using a new solid-liquid technology of extraction, added to pure Aloe juice, soluble propoli, and essential oils of Ravensara and Niaouly. It was tested in a clinical study in which 100 subjects were recruited for a period of one month. Nasal scraping was used for collecting samples and af...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the effect of smoking on the osmotic pressure (OP) of human dental pulp tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty male dental patients (smokers and nonsmokers) scheduled for root canal treatment for prosthodontics were included in the study. Fifteen patients (1 premolar tooth/patient) were allocated to each of the following groups according to their smoking habits,...

The effect of apple and lemon on lipid profile was studied. Forty-five people with hyperlipidaemia were selected. The forty-five respondents were randomly assigned to three groups. The first group was given an apple a day the second group one lemon drink per day, the third group was given the combination of an apple and a lemon per day. Three other variables were noted namely diet, exercise, an...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of storage temperature on bond strength of a self etching primer system to pulp chamber dentin. METHODS SE Bond (Kuraray, JAPAN) adhesive system and Clearfil Photo Posterior (Kuraray, JAPAN) composite resin were used. Eight extracted caries-free human molar teeth were used. Access cavities were prepared through the pulp chamber, rand...

Introduction: Diabetes drastically increases the risk of developing reproductive system disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Citrullus Colocynthis pulp on testosterone and LH levels in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats were divided into four groups as follows (n = 8 in each group): 1) normal, 2) pulp, 3) diabetic, and 4) ...

The response of the dental pulp to calcium hydroxide or zinc oxide and eugenol cement was investigated histopathologically, using the germ-free and conventional rats. The upper first molar pulp was exposed with a p1/2 round bur through the mesial surface of the teeth and covered with the capping agents. The observation period was 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 14 and 28 days postoperatively. The results obtai...

In orange-pigmented citrus fruits, the xanthophyll esters are predominant carotenoids, but their biosynthetic origin is currently unknown. this work, seven PYP/XES (Pale Yellow Petal/ Xanthophyll esterase) genes were identified in Citrus genomes, only PYP1-4 and 6 contained structural domains essential for activity. The expression profiles sweet orange other species such as lemon, mandarin pumm...
