Cutting Propagation Test of Shoots of Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn

In order to solve the problem of rapid propagation of Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn seedlings, research on the cutting propagation of S. mukorossi Gaertn was conducted. The results showed that the rooting rate of cuttings of the ten clones ranged from 30.9% to 83.0%. Among them, the rooting rate of cuttings of clones SM01 and SM06 was higher than that of other clones, and there were significant differences between different clones in the rooting rate of cuttings. The rooting rate of the semi-lignified shoots having two leaves could be improved significantly. The treatment of the cuttings by GGR6 solutions had significant effects on their rooting rate.

Human pulp tissue dissolution ability of different extracts of Sapindus mukorossi: An in vitro study

Objective:Due to the many negative properties of sodium hypochlorite used in current root canal treatment,interest in biocompatible natural agents is increasing day by day.The aim of this study was to evaluate whether various extract solutions of Sapindus mukorossi have dissolution effects on human pulp tissues.Methods:Primarily powder extracts were obtained by extracting fruit shells of S.mukorossi in different solvents(ethanol,methanol,buthanol and distilled water).The test solutions were prepared and randomly separated into six groups with 10 samples in each group:ethanol extract,methanol extract,butanol extract,distilled water extract of S.mukorossi,sodium hypochlorite(Na OCl)and the control group.Among these,S.mukorossi extracts were separated into two subgroups,depending on their concentration level(50μg/m L and 100μg/m L).The pulp tissues of freshly extracted human molars were used for dissolution test.The weights of the pulpal tissues were measured and recorded for two times after the samples were placed in the solutions.Statistical analysis for all descriptive statistics was performed using SPSS 22(P<0.05).Results:Our results showed that maximum percent yield of preparation was obtained in methanol extract of S.mukorossi.Among all of the groups,the best dissolution capacity was seen in the Na OCl group(positive control group).Among S.mukorossi groups,the best tissue solvent solution was found in SMM group at 50μg/m L and SMB group at 100μg/m L.Conclusion:The different extracts of S.mukorossi had a capacity to dissolve pulp tissue but this capacity was less than Na OCl.Therefore,further studies will enable the creation of a commercial solution for clinical use by increasing the effectiveness of S.mukorossi while combining it with other endodontic irrigation solutions.
