maggot therapy mechanisms of action Medicinal maggots have at least two confirmed beneficial effects on wounds that can be supported by laboratory investigations. They are debridement‚ or elimination of necrotic tissue‚ and removal of pathogenic bacteria. There is moreover‚ evidence from recent studies that they may also accelerate wound healing by promoting the formation of granulation tissue as suggested by the early literature‚ Wound debridement activity Necrophagous larvae feed on the dead

CHAPTER 4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 4.1. Angelika keiskei (Ashitaba )crude non-polar extract The crude non-polar extract from the plant Angelika keiskei (Ashitaba) was tested for the anti-bacterial property by using the Kirby – Bauer Disk Diffusion test. There were four 25uL of Ashitaba non-polar extract with different concentrations used which were 12.5 %‚ 25%‚ 50% and 100%. In line with this‚ respective positive controls of the two specimens and negative control were also used. The results

Introduction The main purpose of root canal treatment is the elimination of microorganism from root canal system (1‚2). Microorganisms and their byproducts are regarded as the primary etiological factors of periapical diseases and pulpal necrosis (3‚4‚5). Microbial reduction obtained by mechanical instrumentation‚ irrigation‚ using intracanal medicaments and adequate filling of root canal (6). Failure of the root canal treatment is the result of persisting microorgansims in the root canal system

Curcumin is found in the rhizome of Curcuma longa. It exhibits various biological activities like anti-cancer‚ anti-inflammatory‚ anti-viral‚ anti-bacterial‚ anti-oxidant and nematocidal activities. Due to its poor solubility there is a need to formulate this curcumin for better bioavailability. Curcumin was extracted by acetone using soxhlet apparatus and evaporated by means of vacuum rotary evaporator. The presence of curcumin was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry. Nanosuspension was

How do bacteria affect human lives? Bacteria interact and are a constant in our day to day lives‚ perhaps more than suspected. Bacteria are often thought of as bad‚ however this is untrue‚ there is also many types of ‘good’ bacteria. ‘Good’ bacteria can benefit us by simply helping our digestive system work and helping us in the process of fermentation. Bacteria are extremely helpful in the production of many things such as fuel and medicine. But bacteria directly affect our production of

Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disease‚ triggered by the host immune response to an array of periodontal biofilm-associated microorganisms‚ which ultimately leads to the inflammation of the tissues supporting the teeth. The initial host response to bacterial infection is a local inflammatory reaction that activates the innate immune system. An imbalance between biofilms and immune system results in over expression of an array of pro-inflammatory cytokines‚ propagation of inflammation through
