The use of sutures is common following oral surgical procedures. The risk of developing an allergic reaction to a suture material is possible. This study presents a case of a 29-year-old male who suffered from Oral Contact Allergy (OCA) from a polyglactin910 suture material. The patient presented with gingival recession of the maxillary right canine, bicuspids and first molar requiring muco-gingival surgery to cover denuded root surfaces. After harvesting the sub-epithelial connective tissue graft from the palate, which was sutured using polyglactin910, the patient developed a significant allergic reaction to the suture material presenting as large palatal swelling and itching. The donor site - Hard palate – completely healed in few weeks’ time after suture removal.

Background: Leaves, oil and fruit of Myrtus communis L. (MC) have therapeutic effects on diabetes mellitus (DM). Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are liver enzymes associated with hepatic injury caused by DM. Aims: In this study, we aimed to investigate the antidiabetic and antioxidant effects of the aqueous extract of MC leaves on normal and diabetic rats induced with streptozotocin (STZ). Material &Methods: A total of thirty rats divided into six groups as each composed of five rats were used. DM was induced by a single 40 mg/kg dose of STZ in diabetic control group (Group II) and DM groups (Group IV,V and VI). Three different doses (150, 300 and 600 mg/kg) of aqueous extract of MC leaves were administered to the DM groups for 14 days. Serum samples and liver homogenates were obtainedin order to determine serum glucose levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde levels (MDA), serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels. Serum glucose levels were determined by a commercial glucose monitor with disposable dry reagent strips. SerumSOD activity, GSH and MDA levels were measured by commercial ELISA kits. Serum ALT, ALP, and AST levels were measured by biochemical and immune-enzyme analyzers with respective standard kits. Results: Serum glucose, AST, ALT and ALP levels were reduced by MC administration in all diabetic groups. MC administration provided significance increment in SOD activity and GSH level, and significant reduction in MDA levels compared to controls (p<0.05) in all diabetic groups for all parameters, being highest at the dose of 600 mg/kg (p<0.001). Conclusion: Aqueous extracts of MC leaves at the doses of 150, 300 and 600 mg/kg decreased blood glucose, serum ALT, AST and ALP levels. Besides, all extracts have antioxidant effects being highest at 600 mg/kg dose. Key Words: Myrtus communis L., leaves, diabetes mellitus, antioxidant

Background: Different types of molds are being used to place resin composite and build composite buildup in shear bond strength test. However, a little information is available in the literature regarding their effects on resin-enamel/dentin bond strengths. Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of different composite placement molds on shear bond strength (SBS) of composite resin bonded to enamel and dentin. Methods & Material: Three different composite placement molds (silicone mold, one-piece fixed plexiglass mold, two-piece removable plexiglass) and two substrates (enamel and dentin) were used in this study. Composite resins were bonded to enamel and dentin surfaces with using one of the tested placement molds (n=20) and SBS tests were performed using universal testing machine. Results: The findings showed that bond strength was not influenced by different composite placement molds (p=0.147), but influenced by bonding substrate (p=0.000).More cohesive failures in enamel were evident with one-piece fixed mold. It can be concluded that composite placement molds have no effect on resin-enamel and dentin bond strengths, but it affects failure mode distributions in resin-enamel bonding.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus cause rise in the levels of cytokines which increases hepcidin secretion from liver. Hepcidin inhibits the release of iron from macrophages of reticuloendothelial cells and decreases the transport of iron from intestinal mucosa to blood. Anaemia of chronic inflammation cause rise in cytokines which leads to retention of iron at the stores as ferritin and fall in serum iron. Aim: The present study was conducted to estimate serum markers of iron metabolism, serum iron, ferritin and haemoglobin and hsCRP from individuals with diabetes mellitus and in the control groups and to make comparison of these parameters. Materials and methods: A total of 34 subjects were enrolled aged between 25 -50 years 17 subjects with diabetes mellitus and 17 age matched controls. Fasting blood samples were taken Hb, serum glucose; iron ferritn and hsCRP were estimated. Results: We have observed that mean haemoglobin in both the groups were in the anemic level (<11g/dl) and there was no significant variation in haemoglobin levels in these groups. But there was a significant increase of serum ferritin in individuals with diabetes mellitus when compared with the control groups. Conclusion: The alteration in iron metabolism in diabetes was found to be mediated by cytokines which increase the hepatic synthesis of hepcidin, which causes relative rise in ferritin in these cells the mild increase in CRP (hsCRP) is also explained by increase in cytokines.

Background: International society of blood transfusion has defined 33 blood group systems and 700 erythrocyte antigens of them some have direct association with infections. Aims & objectives: This study aims at investigating the seroprevalence, correlation between ABO and Rh groups and transfusion transmitted infection namely: HIV, HBV, HCV & syphilis. Methods: The serum samples of the donors were tested for the most common transfusion transmitted infections as mentioned above by Third generation ELISA for HBV and HCV, Fourth generation sandwich HIV -ELISA and RPR tests for syphilis. Blood grouping of the donors was done through standard tube agglutination technique with forward and reverse grouping. The results thus obtained were put for chi square analysis in order to determine statistical significance. Results: Total, 41909 serum samples were tested from January -2013 to March-2015, of which 317 were positive for transfusion transmitted infections. The seroprevalence of HBV, HCV, HIV and syphilis was 0.57%, 0.05%, 0.10% and 0.05% respectively. HCV infection were significantly associated with blood group of donors (P<0.05). Percentage of HCV was found to be higher in donors with blood group A. There was no significant association found between HIV, HBV and syphilis with blood group of donors. Conclusion: Prevalence of transfusion transmitted infections among blood donors of G. G. Hospital is relatively low as compared with different regions of India. From the study it was concluded that blood group type of an individual has got some association with HCV infection. Keywords: ABO Blood groups, Rhesus (Rh) blood group, transfusion transmitted infections
