Efficacy Of A Mouthwash Containing Standardized Centella Asiatica Extract (Eca 233) In Patients With Gingivitis: A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial, Alisa Awapark, Wanchai Chongcharoen, Mayuree H. Tantisira, Nattapon Rotpenpian

The Thai Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences

Background: Gingivitis is the earliest and most reversible stage of periodontal disease, characterized by inflammation of the gingiva caused by the accumulation of plaque. In addition to removing plaque, mouthwash containing antiseptic or anti-inflammatory could be used as an adjunct therapy.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a 0.10% standardized Centella asiatica extract (ECa 233) mouthwash compared to 0.12% chlorhexidine and placebo mouthwashes in individuals with gingivitis.
Materials and Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted in 75 patients assigned equally to ECa 233, chlorhexidine, or placebo groups. Participants used the assigned …

Anti-Diabetic Activity Of Combination Of Aloe Vera, Allium Sativum, Selenium, And Chromium Picolinate In Alloxaninduced Diabetic Rats, Satyajit Mangate, Syed Ayaz Ali, Zainab Shabbir Shaikh, Mohd Mukhtar Khan, Subur Wadood Khan

The Thai Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by deleterious effects on multiple organs. Existing remedial strategies highlight the advancement of herbal and mineral agents to target multiple mechanisms controlling the pathology of DM.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the hypoglycemic and organ-protective effects of poly-herbal poly-mineral combinations for DM treatment.
Materials and Methods: Five groups of Wistar rats comprising 6 rats in each group were treated with vehicle (sterile water) to control group, alloxan (150 mg/kg, i.p.) to all the groups except the vehicle control group, sitagliptin (40 mg/kg, p.o.) as standard drug treatment, polyherbal polymineral combination …

Modified Etoposide Loaded Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles: In-Depth Physical And Biological Evaluation For Lung Cancer Treatment, Umesh Kumar Atneriya, Jitendra Sainy

The Thai Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences

Background: Lung cancer is approximately 25% of all death cases in any cancer and the death beats the number of deaths reported by colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer combined.
Objectives: This present study was carried out with an objective to investigate the possibility of graphitic carbon toward making a multifunctional anti-lung cancer nano-platform targeting etoposide (ETS) as a model drug.
Materials and Methods: First, the synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) was made by the Hummer method based on graphite flakes and further modified with folic acid (FA) and polyethylene glycol to make FA/GO/ETS. The formation of FA/GO/ETS was …

Skin Carotenoid Scores Reflect Immune Status Among Children Living With Hiv In Tanzania, Wilbert Mbuya, Thobias Boniphace, Michael Mwagala, Peter Agrea, Nazareth M Mbilinyi, Nancy E Moran, Andrew R Dinardo, Mkunde Chachage

Children’s Nutrition Research Center Staff Publications

Many individuals living with HIV experience persistent inflammation despite antiretroviral treatment, increasing their risk for cardiovascular diseases, cognitive decline, and other noncommunicable diseases. Carotenoids can inhibit this inflammation by reducing lipid peroxidation. Carotenoid intake and plasma concentrations can be approximated using a noninvasive cutaneous spectrophotometer. This study quantified skin carotenoid levels in Tanzanian children ages 5 to 15 years old (N = 185) both with and without HIV. Over 95% had low to moderate skin carotenoid scores (< 400 units). In children living with HIV, higher viral loads were linked to lower skin carotenoid scores (rho = -0.57, P < 0.001), whereas higher CD4 counts correlated with increased skin carotenoid scores (rho = 0.52, P < 0.001). Overall, carotenoid levels were low and associated with immune status, suggesting that elevated carotenoid scores correlate with lower inflammation in children living with HIV. Future studies investigating dietary carotenoid interventions to support immune function are warranted.

Modelling Growth Of The Cold-Water Coral Desmophyllum Pertusum According To Food Availability And The Goldilocks Principle, Konstantinos Georgoulas, Sebastian Hennige, Yeaw Chu Lee, Evangelos Boulougouris

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

This study significantly advances previous attempts to model cold-water coral growth using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) by incorporating the finite nature of food availability, an important parameter in coral development. Building on the Goldilocks Principle, which states that coral polyps must surpass an energetic survival threshold to prosper, this model integrates food-based growth dynamics. The underlying SPH framework simulated fluid-coral interactions in which growth was promoted in optimal flow conditions and food-rich zones. Key innovations include dynamic energy reserves, where the energetic reserves of coral particles depend on food obtained from the surrounding fluid particles. Simulations reveal that higher food …

A Guided Size Exclusion Chromatography Demonstration For Teaching Polymer Separation And Characterization, Daniel Rivero, Nicole Paccha, Amrita Sarkar

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Practical experience with modern analytical instruments is an essential component of undergraduate chemistry education, yet access to advanced instruments varies widely among institutions because of differences in available resources. Although size exclusion chromatography (SEC) is extensively used in polymer characterization in both academia and industry, undergraduate students at Montclair State University previously had limited opportunities to gain hands-on experience to this technique. To address this need, a demonstration using a multidetector-equipped Malvern Panalytical OMNISEC system was developed and incorporated into a second-year organic chemistry laboratory course during the 2025–2026 academic year. This activity engaged more than 300 undergraduate students representing …
