Quercetin Flavonoid Represses Gastric Ulcerations in Wistar Rats, Accelerates Motility in Co-administrations with Vitamin C
Journal ID : AMJ-05-04-2023-11409; Author : Ogagayere Lucky Omamuzo, Ekene Nwoke, Efegbere Henry Akpojubaro, Alexander Obidike Naiho, John Chukwuka Igweh,
Abstract : Existing reports are speculative on the gastro-protective actions of quercetin (QCT) flavonoid and its potency in ulcer healing as employed in modern ethno-medicine. Forty five (45) matured female wistar rats (150-200g) were acclimatized for 2 weeks, fed standard rat chow ad libitum, and assigned into 9 groups of 5 rats each. With group 1 being control, groups 3 – 9 (experimental) were fed varying doses of QCT after inducing gastrotoxicity (ulcer) with indomethacin. Whilst group 2 animals formed negative control group (untreated). Groups 3 – 9 respectively received 40 mg/kg of QCT, 60 mg/kg QCT, 80 mg/kg QCT, vitamin C, vitamin C + 40 mg/kg QCT, vitamin C + 60 mg/kg QCT, and vitamin C + 80 mg/kg of QCT treatments for 3 weeks after ulcer confirmation. After treatment periods, animals were euthanized, stomach harvested, salt-washed and subjected through, gastric volume, motility and pH tests while observing the degrees of ulceration across treatment groups with a 10× magnifying lens, notably at different levels of mucosa lesions (ulcer scoring). The ulcer severity and mucosa lesion were also observed to full erosive ranges at different extremes, while calculating QCT and/or vitamin C treatments from the curative ratio. Statistical mean differences was conducted for each group, using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). All calculations were assessed at 0.05 confidence, with p-value < 0.05 adjudged as statistically significant. From the result, ANOVA returned a statistically insignificant decrease in gastric volume of gastrotoxic untreated animals (negative control) relative control. This increased significantly (p < 0.05) with QCT + vitamin C co-administrations as compared with untreated animals. Also, a statistically significant increase (p < 0.05) was noted in gastric pH for untreated animals relative control. This decreased significantly (p < 0.05) with QCT + vitamin C co-administrations except in 60mg QCT + vitamin C treats compared with untreated animals. Gastric emptying decreased insignificantly in ulceric, untreated animals as compared with control group. Thus, QCT + Vit. C co-administrations proved potent and efficacious in ulcer healing, relative to single QCT treatment option. Similar studies on the Gut-Brain axis for QCT-vitamin C treatments at varying doses is recommended.

Severe pruritus, dizziness, headache, and myalgia following rosuvastatin and sildenafil combination: A case report
Journal ID : AMJ-05-04-2023-11408; Author : Khalid Alhazmi, Mohammed Alraddadi, Hyder Mirghani,
Abstract : Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering drug; it is more potent than atorvastatin and simvastatin among both Caucasian and East Asian patients with dyslipidemias [2]. However, the drug is not free from side effects, especially when combined with other medications or specific food. The side effects ranged from mild itching, dizziness, and oral ulcers to hepatitis and fatal rhabdomyolysis. We presented an a60-year old male with type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia for 18 years, his medications were metformin 2 grams/day, gliclazide MR 60mg daily, Sitagliptin 100mg once daily, and atorvastatin 20mg at bedtime. Due to the filling delay, the patient took two doses of rosuvastatin 20mg in place of atorvastatin. In addition, he took sildenafil 50mg. twelve hours later the patient developed severe pruritus, dizziness, headache, and myalgia. All the symptoms improved after rosuvastatin was stopped, the pruritus resolved completely after two weeks, and mild myalgia persists.

Journal ID : AMJ-04-04-2023-11406; Author : Ahmad Mounzer Moustafa, Aziz Abdullah, Asmahan zinab, Hasan Alzoubi,
Abstract : This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Hanse Dent Endomix against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) in comparison to other medicaments (Ledermix, and Metapaste) using the agar disk diffusion method. The study sample consisted of 12 filter paper disks that were randomly distributed into four equal groups: group 1 (Experminteal, n=3) Hanse Dent Endomix, group 2 (Experminteal, n=3) Ledermix, group 3 (positive control, n=3) Metapaste, and group 4 (negative control, n=3) sterile water. Medicaments' solutions were prepared by dissolving them with sterile water in a 1:1 ratio and the disks were impregnated with the three medicaments' solutions. The disks were placed on Mueller-Hinton agar plates previously inoculated with E. faecalis suspension., then the plates were incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. After incubation, bacterial growth inhibition zones) diameters around the antimicrobial disks were measured with a scaled millimeter ruler. There was a statically significant difference in the antibacterial effect against E. faecalis between the three medicaments (p=0.000). Both Hanse Dent Endomix and Ledermix medicament were effective against E. faecalis with no statically significant difference (p=0.997). The antibacterial effect of Hanse Dent Endomix and Ledermix was significantly higher than Metapaste (p=0.000). This study showed that both Hanse Dent Endomix and Ledermix medicament were superior to Metapaste medicament against E. faecalis, and the antibacterial effect of Hanse Dent Endomix was similar to Ledermix.

Synthesis and Characterization of Cross-Linked Hydrogel CS/AA-AM-CA for Enhanced Azure A Dye Adsorption and Thermal Stability
Journal ID : AMJ-29-03-2023-11394; Author : Saja I. Laydh, Layth S. Jasim,
Abstract : This work created a new cross-linked hydrogel, Chitosan/Pol(acrylic acid-acryl amid-crotonic acid) (CS/(PAA-AM-CA)), using free radical polymerization. KPS catalysed the free radical reaction initiated by chitosan. A solution of acrylic acid (AA), acrylamide (AM), crotonic acid (CA), and N,N-Methylene-Bisacrylamide (MBA) was then added. FTIR and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy were used to characterise the hydrogel (FESEM). These methods were used before and after adsorbing Azure A dye onto the hydrogel. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the hydrogel's adsorbed surface was thermally stable. XRD measurements showed the hydrogel's amorphous structure. Azure A dye equilibrated in 120 minutes. Adsorption kinetics were explored for pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. Correlation coefficient (R2) findings showed that the adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption process was also tested using three salts: sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium chloride (KCl), and calcium chloride (CaCl2). The quantity of colour adsorbed increased with pH. Adsorption capability decreased increasing salt content. This study produced and studied CS/AA-AM-CA, a cross-linked hydrogel, using free radical polymerization. The hydrogel has great heat stability and pH-dependent Azure A dye absorption. Salts decreased adsorption capability. Optimizing adsorption conditions and using this hydrogel for dye removal and environmental cleanup warrants further study.

Journal ID : AMJ-29-03-2023-11393; Author : Ranj Adil Jalal, Azhar Ghanim Ahmed, Rukhosh Hasan Abdalrahim, Mardin Othman Rashid, Mohammed Abdalla Mahmood,
Abstract : The objective of this study was to evaluate the quantitative bone density of the maxilla using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) of Kurdish population in Sulaimani city and Comparing between bone density in the anterior, premolar, and molar areas also in relation to sex and age. A total of 140 CBCT of Kurdish population of both sexes with age range (20-80 years). At each implant site, the bone density has been assessed twice. A mean value has been taken to assign for that region in edentulous patients or partially dentate patients. One investigator has taken all the readings to eliminate any potential for bias, and the study is containing CBCT from one system. The maximum value was (1466.6 HU) and the minimum value was (23.3 HU) and the median was (532.1 HU). The result shows that there is no statistical difference between males and females (p-value 0.981), While the Kruskal-Wallis H test shows a significant difference between the regions (anterior, premolar, and molar) regions (p-value = 0.000). The anterior region shows the highest ranking followed by the premolar region and lastly the molar region. The most common bone type of upper jaw in Kurdish population was D3 and the less type was D1. The anterior region shows the highest ranking (347 HU) followed by the premolar region (275HU) and lastly the molar region (195 HU). Compared with other populations this study demonstrated that the bone density of Kurdish population was lower than others. This aids in racial determining in forensic dentistry and implant prognosis.

Education, Age, Gender, and Public Perception of Batik Waste Pollution in Sokarajaʼs Batik Industrial Area
Journal ID : AMJ-29-03-2023-11391; Author : Bunyamin Muchtasjar, Hadiyanto, Munifatul Izzati,
Abstract : The incidence of diseases is a cycle that repeats every year and its patterns are inseparable from unhealthy environmental conditions. Environmental pollution by wastewater originating from the production of batik, tofu, tempeh, and various snacks, and household products can be very high in organic content. A high population density such as in industrial areas with unkempt living areas and disorganized waste disposal, is favoured by various disease vectors. It is in such areas that respiratory and stomach ailments have always been epidemic. Education influences a communityʼs perception of their environment is high school, female, and adult. Their perception of their environment and pollution stems from internal and external factors. Hopefully, the perception of environmental pollution will change in a better direction, so that the cycle of disease transmission can be broken.

Journal ID : AMJ-29-03-2023-11389; Author : Soukayna Alaoui Sosse, Koita Moussa, Abdelilah Laraqui, Mohammed Mrabti, Mohamed Alami, Khalid Ennibi, Mohammed El Mzibri, Moulay Mustapha Ennaji,
Abstract : Prostate cancer (Pca) is one of the most common tumors in men. In many risk factors causing Pca, several interpretations have revealed that certain specific gene variants and viral infections are strong candidates for the initiation of prostate tumors. Indeed, cancerous tissue infections of the prostate have been reported by the presence of several types of viruses among these viruses there are human papillomaviruses (HPV). The general objective of the present study of this article is to carry out the genotyping of the oncogenic HPV virus of types 18,11,6,45,58,35 and 53 in 10 blood samples already positive for HPV in patients with Pca in the Moroccan population. HPV Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)detection and genotyping were performed by nested- Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). To achieve our objectives, 10 blood samples are already positive for HPV in patients with Pca. The viral DNA was extracted and calibrated and the target genes were amplified by PCR using specific primers in 2% agarose gel and visualization under UV. The most common genotypes detected among the patients were HPV 18 (30%), HPV 35 (20%), HPV 45 (20%), HPV 58 (10%), HPV 6(10%), HPV 11(10%), and HPV 53 (0%). HPV infection was common in the study population. The most common genotypes were HPV 6, 11,58,18, and 53, This discovery advances our understanding of HPV epidemiology research and has implications for future research targeted at identifying populations at risk for Pca.
