Gingival hyperpigmentation in many esthetic concern patient poses a psychological problem and embarrassment. Among the many procedures used for gingival depigmentation, diode laser is considered as one which is highly accepted by the patient due to the absence of bleeding during and after procedure and being a fast and effective method. Literature have also stated the beneficial effect of low dose laser therapy on wound healing due to its potential to increase mitochondrial function, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), RNA, and protein synthesis which may further increase the cellular metabolism resulting in enhancement in wound healing and acceleration of the inflammatory process. This case report presents the use of diode laser for gingival depigmentation followed by laser photobiomodulation in an attempt to fasten the healing.

ABSTRACT The present investigation deals with the oestrogen-sensitivity of the female reproductive system during the neonatal period. Newborn female guinea pigs were used as test animals. At different times after a single subcutaneous injection of a physiological dose of 0.1 μg or an unphysiologically high dose of 10 μg 17β-oestradiol/100 g body weight, the RNA- and protein-synthesis was examined in the hypothalamic region, pituitary, cerebral cortex, liver, adrenal gland, ovary and uterus. With a physiological dose an increase in organ weight, protein content, RNA-and protein-synthesis was found only in the uterus. These alterations turned out to be dose-dependent. In addition to the findings in the uterus an inhibition of the aminoacid incorporation rate occurred in the liver following the injection of the high oestradiol dose. As early as 1 hour after the administration of 0.1 μg 17β-oestradiol an almost 100% increase in uterine protein synthesis was detectable. This result demonstrates a high oestrogen-sensitivity of this organ during the neonatal period. All the other organs of the female reproductive system such as the hypothalamus, pituitary and ovary did not show any oestrogen response. Therefore the functional immaturity of the uterus during post partem life is not the result of a deficient hormone sensitivity but is correlated with the absence of a sufficient hormonal stimulus at this time. The investigation on the effects of actinomycin resulted in different reactions in the uterus and liver. In contrast to the liver a paradoxical actinomycin effect was found in the uterus after treatment with actinomycin alone. This effect is characterized by a small inhibition of RNA-synthesis and a 50% increase in protein synthesis. The treatment of the newborn test animals with actinomycin and 17β-oestradiol together abolished the oestrogen-induced stimulation of the uterine RNA-and protein-synthesis. Consequently, the effect of oestrogens during the neonatal period is also connected with the formation of new proteins via an increased DNA-directed RNA-synthesis.

A method for preparing suspensions of adult rat hepatocytes suitable for maintenance in vitro is described. Cultures were established from the cell suspensions by the squash technique. Cells were examined by light and electron microscopy; histochemically for glycogen, bile, lipid and glucose-6-phosphatase; and by autoradiography for DNA, RNA and protein synthesis. Hepatocytes could be maintained in vitro for at least 3 days and began to aggregate after 1 day. Uridine and leucine were incorporated, but not thymidine. Cultures consisted mainly of hepatocytes, though reticulo-endothelial cells were sometimes present.
