The pet ether extract of Caesalpinia pulcherrima, leaves was studied for its antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic property. The extract at doses of 50 and 200 mg/kg, p.o., significantly (p<0.05) reduced the number of writhing induced by acetic acid and inhibited the late phase (20-30 min) in formalin test in mice. The extract failed to increase the pain threshold level in tail immersion test in mice. In carrageenan induced paw edema in rats and in acetic acid induced increase in vascular permeability test in mice, the extract (50-600 mg/kg, p.o.) failed to produce any significant activity. While in cotton pellet granuloma test, the extract at doses of 200 and 600 mg/kg (p.o.) significantly (p<0.05) reduced the granuloma formation and was comparable to reference drug, dexamethasone. In ethylpheylpropiolate ear edema test 0.5 mg and 1 mg/ear application of extract significantly (p<0.05) inhibited ear edema. In yeast induced hyperthermia in rats, the extract did not produce any reduction in temperature. The results suggest that the extract acts peripherally to produce analgesic action and anti-inflammatory activity through steroidal mechanism.

This study was undertaken to measure the diffusibility and antimicrobial effectiveness of the medication used in clinical practice. To study the diffusibility of the root canal medicament, loss of formocresol and camphorated phenol from a cotton pellet after insertion into the pulp chamber of 260 molars prepared as routine endodontic treatment was measured. Measurement was done for the one time insertions and for the reinsertions using ultraviolet spectrophotometer. Antibacterial effectiveness against three microoganisms, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and a-hemolytic streptococcus, on the blood agar plate was observed by measurement of the inhibition zone with. various amount of medicaments. The following results were observed. 1. Nearly all of the medication were lost in the first day after insertion and the residual amount of camphorated phenol was greater than that of formocresol. 2. Residual amounts of medication in the reinsertion group were greater than that of the one time insertion group. 3. Within the pulp chamber diffusibility of formocresol was greater than that of camphorated phenol. 4. The amount of formocresol diffusing out from the tooth was greater than that of camphorated phenol. 5. Antibacterial effectiveness was observed from the residual amount of formocresol in the reinsertion group and in other groups no antibacterial effectiveness was observed.

Water and chloroform/methanol extracts of the three local Malaysian snakehead fish, Channa striatus (striped snakehead), Channa micropeltes (giant snakehead) and Channa lucius (blotched snakehead) were evaluated for inhibitory activity in chronic inflammation, using cotton pellet granuloma test. Both water extracts of C. striatus and C. micropeltes showed marked inhibition of the transudative and proliferative components of chronic inflammation (42.9 and 31.2% respectively for C. striatus, 35.6 and 26.2% for C. micropeltes) when compared to those of mefenamic acid (25.1 and 21.3% respectively) and piroxicam (36.1 and 26.2% respectively). The chloroform/methanol extracts did not exhibit any anti-inflammatory effects. These results indicated that C. striatus has more anti-transudative and anti-proliferative activities than the extract of C. micropletes. C. lucius extract in contrast, did not inhibit these two components. This present study indicated the beneficial effects of the water extracts of C. striatus and C. micropeltes, but not C. lucius on chronic inflammation.

외과적 근관치료에서 근단부의 폐쇄성은 성공에 필수적이다. 그리고 외과적 근관치료시 근단부 역충전와동은 습기나 혈액에 의해 오염되기 쉬우며 와동을 이상적으로 건조하기가 항상 용이하지는 않다. 본 연구의 목적은 미세 치근단 수술법에서 치근단 역충전와동의 건조 방법이 폐쇄성에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 함이다. 치근단 폐쇄성은 근단 누출 및 충전물-와벽 적합성으로 평가하였다. 치근단 역충전와동 건조방법에 따른 치근단 누출을 평가하기 위해서는 최근에 발거된 상악 대구치 구개측치근 125개를 와동건조 방법 및 혈액오염에 따라 4개의 군으로 분류하여 실험하였다. 각 시편치아에서 근관을 형성하고 측방가압법으로 충전한 후 각 군에 따라 저속 다이아몬드 절단기를 이용하여 치근단 3 mm를 절제하였으며 초음파 스테인레스 스틸 기구를 이용하여 깊이 3mm의 역충전 와동을 형성하고 IRM, Super EBA 또는 복합레진으로 역충전하였다. 시편을 2% methylene blue 용액에 7일간 침잠시킨 후 35% 질산 용액에서 용해시킨 다음, 원심분리한 상층액을 비색계를 이용하여 누출 색소의 흡광도를 측정하였다. 결과치는 이원변량분석법과 Duncan's Multiple Range Test를 이용하여 분석하였다. 역충전 와동 건조방법에 따른 충전물-와벽 적합성을 평가하기 위해서는 상악 제 1대구치의 구개측 치근 12개를 상기와 같이 4개 군으로 분류하여 근관충전, 역충전와동 형성, 와동 건조 및 역충전을 실험하였으며, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 압축공기나 paper point로 와동을 건조한 군이, 역충전 와동을 IRM 간이충전재, Super EBA 시멘트 및 복합레진으로 충전한 경우 공히, cottton pellet 만으로 와동을 건조한 군에 비해 적은 치큰단 누출을 나타내었는데 이는 Super EBA 시멘트 충전군에서만 유의한 차이를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 그러나 충전재료에 관계없이 paper point로 와동을 건조한 군과 압축공기로 건조한 군 사이에는 유의한 누출의 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 2. 압축공기로 와동을 건조한 경우에는, 복합레진으로 충전한 군이 IRM이나 Super EBA로 충전한 군에 비해 유의하게 적은 치근단 누출을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 3. 와동을 혈액으로 오염시킨 경우에는, 역충전 와동을 IRM, Super EBA 및 복합레진으로 충전한 군 공히, 압축공기로 와동내부를 건조한 경우에 비해 유의하게 많은 치큰단 누출을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 4. IRM 간이충전재나 Super EBA 시멘트로 역충전와동을 충전한 경우, 와동측벽의 외측 1/2이 내측 1/2에 비해 넓은 충전물-치질 사이 틈을 나타내었다. 5. IRM 간이충전재, Super EBA 시멘트 및 복합레진으로 역충전와동을 충전한 경우 공히, 와동이 혈액에 의해 오염되었거나 와동을 cotton pellet으로만 건조한 경우가 paper point나 압축공기로 와동을 건조한 경우에 비해 와동기저부에 큰 틈을 나타내는 양상을 보였다.

Root conditioning has introduced to dissolve the smear layer and to produce surface demineralization, resulting to exposure of dentin collagen fibril and opening of dentinal tubules. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of different concentration and application time of tetracycline-HCL on root conditioning. Total 40 root specimen were prepared from 20 periodontitis-prone human single rooted tooth. The specimen were treated with tetracycline-HCL solution(20mg/ml, 50mg/ml, 100mg/ml)for 20 sec, 3 min, 5 min., and saline for 30 sec. The application method was rubbing method with cotton pellet. Under the scanning electron microscopy(20KV), the extent of smear removal and opening of the dentinal tubules were examined at x 3000. The following results were obtained. 1. Treatment of root specimen with saline did not remove the smear layer and open the dentinal tubules. 2. Treatment of root specimen with different concentration of tetracycline-HCL for 20 sec also did not remove the smear layer completely. 3. Treatment of root specimen with different concentration of tetracycline-HCL for 3 min opened the dentinal tubules and removed smear layer. 4. Treatment of root specimen with 50mg/ml of tetracycline-HCL for 3 min showed collagen fibril within the opened dentinal tubules. In conclusion, the effect of root conditioning with tetracycline-HCL is more dependent on the application time than the application concentration. Root conditioning with 50mg/ml tetracycline-HCL for 3 min is enough for obtaining the periodontal regeneration.
