[Method] in vitro anti-bacterial effects of 5 kinds of Chinese herb extracts like Galla Chinensis,Syzygium aromaticum,Salvia miltiorrhiza,Punica granatum L. and Terminalia chebula Retz on Ameromonas hydrophila were studied; furthermore,cure rates of the Chinese herb extracts with better anti-bacterial effects were determined to find out the optimal drug dosage. [Result] Under the same experimental conditions,Galla Chinensis,Punica granatum and Terminalia chebula Retz had relatively strong anti-bacterial effects on Ameromonas hydrophila,among them the anti-bacterial effect of Galla Chinensis was significantly higher than those of the others （P0.05）. The optimal treatment dose of Galla Chinensis treating bacterial septicemia caused by Aeromonas hydrophila was that they were treated with medicated bath for 40 min by 0.5 mg/ml Galla Chinensis extract,and the cure rate was 100%. [Conclusion] The research provides a scientific drug basis for the control and prevention of outbreak bacterial diseases of fish.展开更多

Inorganic ions were tested by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy and F was especially measured by ion chromatography. Then, bovine enamel blocks were randomly divided into four treatment groups and were subjected to a pH-cycling regime for 12 times. Each cycle included 5-min applications with one of four treatments： 4g.L-1 GCE solution, 4g.L-1 gallic acid （GA） solution, I g.L-1 NaF solution （positive control）, deionized water （DDW, negative control）, and then 60-min application in pH 5.0 acidic buffer and 5-min application in neutral buffer. Acidic buffers were retained for calcium analysis. The main organic composition of GCE were GA and its isomer, and, to a lesser extent, small molecule gallotannins. The content of GA in GCE was 71.3%±0.2% （w/w）. Inorganic ions were present in various amounts, of which Ca was （136±2.82） μg.g-1, and Zn was （6.8±0.1） μg.g-1. No F was detected in GCE. in pH cycling, GA showed an effect similar to GCE in inhibiting enamel demineralization （P〉0.05）. GA was found to be the main effective, demineralization inhibiting component of GCE and could be a promising agent for the development of anticaries agents.展开更多

Sixty bovine dentine blocks were divided into two groups and individually treated with two levels of demineralization solutions to form erosive and subsurface artificial carious lesions in vitro. Each group was then divided into three subgroups, each of which were treated with a remineralization solution （positive control）, deionized water （negative control）, or 4 000 mg-L-1 aqueous solutions of Galla chinensis extract. The dentine blocks were then subjected to a pH-cycling regime for 7 days. During the first 4 days, the daily cycle included 21-h deal and 3-h demineralization applications. The dentine blocks were dealt with the entire day during the remaining 3 days. Two specimens from each of the treatment groups were selected and observed under a polarized light microscope. Data collected using a laser scanning confocal microscope were computerized and analyzed. Galla chinensis extract clearly enhanced the remineralization of both erosive lesion and subsurface lesion patterns in the specimens （P〈0.05）. The level of remineralization of the erosive lesion by Galla chinensis extract was lower than that of the subsurface lesion （P〈0.05）. In addition, the remineralization of the subsurface lesion by Galla chinensis extract was higher than that of the remineralization solution （P〈0.05）. No significant difference between the remineralization of erosive lesions by Galla chinensis extract and the remineralization solution was observed （P〉0.05）. So Galla chinensis extract has the potential to improve the remineralization of artificial root lesions under dynamic pH-cyclic conditions, indicating its potential use as a natural remineralization medicine.展开更多

Methodology Baseline mineral contents of sound enamels were first analyzed. Then lesions were produced in an acidic buffer solution （2.2 mmol.L-1 Ca（NO3）2, 2.2 mmol-L1 KH2PO4, and pH=4.5） for 21 days, with thrice daily three-minute treatments, divided into four groups： Group A, 4 000 ppm crude aqueous extract of Galla chinensis （GCE）; Group B, 4 000 ppm gallic acid; Group C, 1 000 ppm F aq. （as NaF, positive control）; Group D, deionized water （negative control）. Next, the blocks were immersed in a remineralization solution （1.5 mmol.Lz CaC12, 0.9 mmol.L1 KH2PO4, 0.1 ppm F, and pH=7,0） for 200 days. Mineral loss （ML） in each region of interest （ROI） and integrated mineral loss （IML） of the lesions were calculated （comparing with baseline mineral content of sound enamel） at different time points. Results After 21 days demineralization, fluoride treatment showed a statistically significant demineralization-inhibiting effect among the four groups, and after 200 days of remineralization, mineral content recovery was ordered （lowest to highest） as A=C〈B〈D. Conclusion GCE could slow down the remineralization of enamel in the surface layer and thereby facilitate ion transport into the lesion body. The mechanism of Galla chinensis in enhancing the remineralization of dental caries is different from fluoride.展开更多
