Abstract : Chronic alcohol exposure has altered the prognosis and diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) by non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), gene expression and regulating the protein in the hepatic disease process. Many studies have shown that ncRNAs are involved in various biological processes and the progression of diseases. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), micro-RNAs (miRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) are major groups in ncRNAs that attract attention. Recently, RNA sequencing technologies have improved with advanced knowledge of molecular regulation pathways of lncRNAs and miRNAs. The aberrant role of lncRNAs followed by hepatic disease progression and significant regulatory role in biological processes, like cellular growth, cell cycle, proliferation, apoptosis, transcriptional factor regulation, etc. Hepatic fibrosis is a flexible wound healing process followed by accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) formation. Similarly, up and downregulation of lncRNAs affect cellular integrity and ECM accumulation in the liver disease progression. In hepatic disease progression, most lncRNAs regulate the cellular hemostasis process and therapeutic targets as potential biomarkers in clinical practice. It is of great significance to acquire a full knowledge of the biological processes and regulation of molecular mechanisms underlying hepatic injuries to find and target specific and sensitive molecules for hepatic regeneration. Therefore, lncRNAs have attracted considerable interest in the hepatic regeneration of following alcoholic abuse. In this review, we focus on the predictive role of lncRNAs regulatory factors that induced hepatic growth and regeneration..

Abstract : Diabetic retinopathy is a significant cause of blindness in Saudi Arabia and worldwide. One in five people in Saudi Arabia is suffering from diabetes mellitus. Obstructive sleep apnea and diabetes when co-exist aggravate each other with deleterious consequences. We aimed to assess the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and diabetic retinopathy in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. This is a sectional study conducted at the Diabetes Center in King Fahd Specialist Hospital, Tabuk City, Saudi Arabia during the period from August 2021 to February 2022. Two hundred and eight patients with type 2 diabetes were included. A structured questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic and cardiovascular risk factors. Obstructive sleep apnea risk was assessed by the STOP-BANG questionnaire. The Statistical Package for Social Science was used for data analysis. There were 208 patients with type 2 diabetes, their age was 51.98±12.90 years; the body mass index was 32.28±9.38, the duration of diabetes was 10.97±10.70, the Stop-Bang score ranged from 1-7 (mean± SD, 4.37±1.61) and the HBa1C was 9.44±1.67. Obstructive sleep apnea was highly prevalent (84.6%) and diabetic retinopathy was evident in nearly half of the patients (48.1%). No significant statistical difference was evident between patients with and without retinopathy regarding obstructive sleep apnea risk (4.7±1.7 versus 3.9±1.4, 95% CI, -0.14-1.6, P-value, 0.093. Obstructive sleep apnea and diabetic retinopathy were highly prevalent. No significant statistical association was evident between obstructive sleep apnea risk and diabetic retinopathy. Further larger multi-center studies are needed..

Abstract : The current study assessed the effect of Photobiomodulation [PBM] in combination with either Calcium Hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] or Mineral Trioxide Aggregate [MTA] as dental pulp capping agents on dental pulp exposures of dogs’ teeth. Ninety six teeth in 6 healthy mature dogs were divided in random into two major study groups; group I where calcium hydroxide was used as a pulp capping and group II in which MTA was used. Each group was subsequently divided into two subgroups, group (A) with no PBM and group (B) with PBM. The subgroups were consequently divided according to the observation period following completion of pulp capping into 1week (1W), 8 weeks (8W), and 16 weeks (16W). The teeth were examined for histological inflammatory response as well as dentine bridge formation. With regards to inflammatory response at 1 week significantly less intense inflammation was observed in PBM Ca(OH)2 group and PBM MTA compared to the no PBM Ca(OH)2 group and no PBM MTA group for the same time period. As for dentin bridge formation PBM MTA groups showed thicker dentine bridge formation at 16 weeks than no PBM MTA group for the same time period. Under the conditions of this study, laser irradiation appeared to be a beneficial adjunct in dental pulp capping procedures in which MTA was the pulp capping material..

Abstract : This retrospective cohort study aims to estimate the prevalence rate of Hepatitis B infected patients at the District Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan. A total of 490 infected patients’ complete medical records were collected with the help of a standard prepared questionnaire containing demographic details, hepatic complaints, past and present illness, physical examination records and other diagnostic laboratory reports. All 490 collected medical records were analyzed using GraphPad Prism (Version 8.40). The Pearson chi-square test was used with confidence level = (95 %) and a statistically significant P-value <0.05 was considered. Of 490 medical records, 72 (14.69%) patients found positive for Hepatitis B infection, including male 39 (18.93%) and female 33 (11.61%). Patients were more prevalent 3 (25%) in the age of <10 years. The highest prevalence was reported in the month of November 9 (32.14%) followed by February 18 (24%). Similarly, the higher ratio of 20 (19.41%) of Hepatitis B was reported in 2020 as compared to the 2021 year 52 (13.43%). Moreover, the highest seropositivity of HBsAg has resulted via quantitative Real-Time PCR 29 (27.88%), followed by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay 39 (5.66%), qualitative PCR were 03 (10%) and by Immune-chromatography test was only 1 (0.93%) specimen. The quantitative Real-Time PCR had higher sensitivity and seropositivity and was considered the best method for the diagnosis of Hepatitis B infection. It was concluded that individuals of these localities are highly burdened by hepatitis B viral infection which should devise proper preventive measures to reduce the risk of infection..

Abstract : Biofilm producers causing apical periodontitis in orofacial cleft are the leading dental problem. Present study aimed to focusing Periapical tissue healing in endodontic therapy using Garcinia imbertiBourd. Rootcanal biofilm producers Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus sciuri were screened. Antibiofilm and Antivirulent study were conducted using ethyl acetate fraction of G imbertibourd leaves extract and its purified compound by in vitro method. Root canal model experiments with macrophage interaction in biofilm groups were conducted to study the healing effect of engineered bioactive silver nanoparticles (AgNp). According to MBIC, (MBIC50; 0.25 mg/ml) 60.6% and 61.25% of biofilm was inhibited at 12 and 24 h interval and Ethyl acetate fraction significantly (P<0.05) reduced biofilm growth (90.46%). EPS of E.faecalis biofilm (367.66 µg/ml) reduced after 24hrs (109.34 µg/ml), similarly in S. sciuri biofilm, the total EPS (387.67 µg/ml) was reduced in to 129.345 µg/ml after treatment. Plant extract along with antibiotics found to have promising anti biofilm activity. Also this extract showed the presence of alkaloids, phenols and saponins. AgNp treated biofilm group was found to reduce the proinflammatory markers (nitric oxide, TNF-α, and IL-6 IL-1β), as well as increased anti-inflammatory marker TGF-β1 Engineered AgNp concomitantly inhibited biofilm and rehabilitated the inflammatory response of macrophages that would promote healing. Ethyl acetate fraction of Garcinia imberti bourd found to have significant antibiofilm as well as antivirulence activity against E. faecalis and S. sciuri similarly, rootcanal modeled study concluded that synthesized AgNp helps to modify the microenvironment to be more conducive to periapical tissue healing..
