Background: Dental caries prevention is a key research focus in dentistry, requiring advancements in the formulation of dental sealants. This study investigated the physical and antibacterial attributes of dental sealant enriched with phytoncide. Methods: Phytoncide was mixed with a commercially available dental sealant (Clinpro) at concentrations of 0 (control), 1.5%, 3%, and 4.5% by weight (wt%). The flexural strength, curing depth, and wettability of the dental sealant were measured. Antibacterial properties against Streptococcus mutans were evaluated through the enumeration of colony-forming units. Statistical analyses employed one-way variance analysis followed by Tukey's test (p<0.05). Results: The dental sealant containing 3% phytoncide showed no significant difference in flexural strength and curing depth compared with that in the control group (p>0.05). The flexural strength and curing depth decreased with increasing phytoncide content and significantly differed in sealant containing 4.5 wt% phytoncide (p<0.05). Wettability did not differ between the experimental and control groups (p>0.05). The antibacterial properties of the sealant containing 1.5% phytoncide were the same as those of the control group (p>0.05). The bacterial viability was significantly reduced in groups containing 3% and 4.5% phytoncide compared with that in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Dental sealants incorporating phytoncide have a promising potential as antibacterial dental materials.

본 연구에서는 화장품에 널리 쓰이는 컨디셔닝제이면서 항균력을 가지는 성분들인 1,2-hexanediol, ethylhexylglycerin, glyceryl caprylate를 대상으로, 이들이 화장품 제형 내에서 다양한 제형 원료와 혼합될 때 그람 양성, 음성 세균에 대한 항균력이 어떻게 변화하는지 확인하고자 하였다. 검토할 제형 원료로는 제형 내에서 항균력을 향상시킬 것으로 예상되는 물질 7종(1,3-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, glycerin, dipropylene glycol, niacinamide, EDTA-2Na, ethanol)을 선정하였으며, checkerboard assay를 이용하여 해당 물질들과 항균력을 지닌 3종 물질에 대한 항균 시너지 효과를 확인하였다. 시험 결과, 세균에 대해 눈에 띄는 항균 시너지 효과를 보인 물질은 ethanol과 EDTA-2Na였으며 특히 ethanol은 항균력을 지닌 컨디셔닝제 3종 모두와 세균에 대해 항균 시너지 효과를 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다. Glyceryl caprylate는 시험한 물질 7종 모두와 그람 양성균인 S. aureus에 대해 항균 부가 및 상승 효과를 나타내었으며, 4종의 폴리올이 첨가된 제형에는 1,2-hexanediol, glyceryl caprylate 조합으로 방부처방을 하는 것이 그람 양성, 음성 세균을 모두 제어하기에 용이하다고 판단되었다. 본 연구는 화장품에서 자주 이용되는 항균력을 지닌 컨디셔닝제와 주요 제형 원료의 항균 시너지 효과를 확인함으로써 항균력을 지닌 컨디셔닝제의 제형 내 항균력을 예측하는 데 기여했다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

The glass structure and antibacterial properties of $(65-x)ZnO-xB_2O_3-35P_2O_5$ glasses were investigated. Zinc borophosphate glasses were prepared using a conventional melt-quenching technique at $1000^{\circ}C$. Glass transition temperature and CTE were studied and the structure of zinc borophosphate glasses was evaluated by FTIR. The $Zn^{2+}$ state increase with increasing ZnO content was investigated by XPS and a single sharp Zn $2P_{3/2}$ peak was confirmed, showing that Zn $2P_{3/2}$ exists as $Zn^{2+}$. In order to to evaluate the antimicrobial activity, Escherichia coli (E. coli) was used following the Japanese Industrial Standard JIS Z 2801; the E. coli death rate was found to increase with increasing $Zn^{2+}$ content of glasses.

In this study, we investigated on antioxidative activity, antibacterial activity and tyrosinase inhibitory activity in 75% ethanol extracts of bark and cork layer from Prunus sargentii. The total polyphenol content of cork and bark extract was found to be 217.4 mg/g and 184.3 mg/g. And flavonoid content was found to be 31.9 mg/g and 58.6 mg/g respectively. In DPPH radical scavenging ability, cork extract was exhibited stronger scavenging ability than bark extract. Moreover, cork extract was showed higher inhibitory activity than bark extract in tyrosinase inhibitory activity. In antibacterial activity, bark extract was showed higher growth inhibition effect than cork extract against tested bacterial strains. In measurement of cytotoxicity by MTT assay, bark and cork extract showed fine cell viabilities(95.7~120.9%) against RAW 264.7 cell.

Phosphonium montmorillonites (P-MMTs) were prepared by intercalating dodecyl tributyl phosphonium salt into sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT) through an ion-exchange method. Microstructure and antibacterial activity of phosphonium montmorillonites were studied by FT-IR, TGA, XRD and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), respectively. The results show that phosphonium montmorillonites exhibit higher thermal stability than conventional ammonium montmorillonites, the onset temperature of decomposition is higher than 300 $^{\circ}C$, and the basal spacing of phosphonium montmorillonites is enlarged compared to that of sodium montmorillonite. Phosphonium montmorillonites also show good antibacterial activity with the MIC against E. coli and S. aureus of 150 and 50 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively.

Titanium and titanium alloys are the most common materials used for dental and biomedical implants, owing to their biocompatibility and favourable mechanical properties. However infection of the region surrounding a dental implant by pathogenic microorganisms is a significant factor in implant failure. Prevention and control of microbial colonization of implant surfaces is considerable interest to the biomedical community. One important strategy is to render the implant surface antibacterial by impeding the formation of biofilm. A number of approaches have been proposed for this purpose. Therefore, we reviewed the researches of antibacterial coatings on titanium implants in this articles.

In the present study, some quinoline derivatives have been synthesized like 8-methoxy-4-methyl-2-amino-(3'-chloro-2'-oxo-4'-substituted aryl-1'-azetidinyl)quinolines 8-12 and 8-methoxy-4-methyl-2-amino-(2'-substituted aryl-4'-oxo-1',3'-thiazolidin-3'-yl) quinolines 13-17 from 8-methoxy-4-methyl-2-(substituted arylidenyliminoamino)-quinolines 3-7. The structural assignments of these compounds were based on spectral (IR, $^1H$-NMR, Mass) and elemental (C, H, N) analysis. Further, these compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity against various bacterial strains. Three compounds 10, 11 and 16 were found to exhibit potent antibacterial activity as compared to the standard drug amphicillin.

We prepared hybrids between layered double hydroxide (LDH) and natural plant extract such as Peaonia suffruticosa Andrews (PS) and Peaonia Japonica (PJ) which was confirmed anti-bacterial activity through paper disc diffusion assay. According to X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, zeta-potential measurement and quantification of extract loading amount in hybrids, we confirmed that similar amount of PS and PJ loaded on inter-particle pore of LDH with partial adsorption on surface of LDH through reconstruction process. We also evaluated the bacterial colony forming inhibition of PS extract, PJ extract, PS-LDH and PJ-LDH hybrids against Escherichia coli as gram negative bacterium and Bacillus subtilis as gram positive bacterium, suggesting that both hybrids have enhanced anti-bacterial activity compared with extract itself.

The antibacterial efficacy of a few filling materials were studied in vitro. Zinc oxide eugenol cement. dycal, cavitec, hipol, cervident, clearfill and microfill were tested against Staphylococcus albus and Lactobacillus acidophilus on thioglycolate agar in order to determine whether the materials are effective inhibitors of bacterial growth. 1. Of these materials tested, zinc oxide eugenol cement was the most effective inhibitor of bacterial growth and revealed about 5.5mm in width of inhibition zone against Staphylococus albus and about 5.0mm against Lactobcillus acidophilus. 2. Dycal was moderate inhibitor of the both bact$\={e}$ria showing 2.5mm of the zone in width. 3. Cavitec was the slightest effect against the both bacteria 4. Composite resins tested in this study showed no evidence of inhibiting bacterial growth against the both bacteria.

In this study, the effects of silver treatment and activation on the physical and chemical properties of spherical activated carbon (SAC) were studied. The textural properties of SAC were characterized by BET surface area, XRD, SEM, iodine adsorption, strength intensity, pressure drop and antibacterial effects. BET surface areas of SACs decreased with an increase of the amount of PR before and after activation, and the BET surface areas of SACs were found to be about 2-3 times the size of those before activation. The XRD patterns showed their existing state as stable Ag crystals and carbon structure. The Ag particles are seaweedlike and uniform, being approximately 5-10 μm in size deposited on the surface of activated carbon. All of the samples had much more iodine adsorption capability after activation than before activation. The strength values of SACs increased with an increase of the amount of PR, and there was a smaller drop in the strength values of SACs with silver treatment than with non-silver treatment after activation. The Ag-SAC composites showed strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. Coli).
