Diabetes is characterized by hyperglycaemia with alterations of lipid parameters. The effects of Aloe vera (A.V) gel extract on lipid profiles of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were investigated. Seventy-two male albino rats were randomly divided into six groups of 12 rats each; control, diabetic control, 4 ml/kg and 8 ml/kg body weight (b.w.) A.V, 10 mg/kg b.w. glibenclimide and non-diabetic 8 ml/kg b.w. A.V groups. They were treated for 14 and 28 days. The plasma and HDL lipid profiles (triacylglycerols, cholesterol and phospholipids) of the diabetic rats were significantly (p<0.05) increased, while those of the VLDL+LDL, RBC, RBC membrane and organs were observed to be significantly (p<0.05) reduced, when compared to the control after 14 and 28 days of treatment. A.V gel extract significantly (p<0.05) ameliorated the disruptions observed in the lipid profiles of the diabetic and thus provide a scientific rationale for the use of Aloe vera as a therapeutic agent.Bangladesh J Med Biochem 2016; 9(1): 11-26

In order to investigate the effects of mouthwashes on oral biofilms with probiotics, we compared in biofilms the susceptibility to mouthwashes of probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) and oral pathogens Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis, and Candida albicans. We also evaluated these pathogens’ susceptibility to the mouthwashes and their recovery after mouthwash-rinsing in biofilms with/without LGG. First, 1-day-/3-day-old LGG-integrated multi-species biofilms were exposed for 1 min to mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine, essential oils, or amine fluoride/stannous fluoride. Cells were plate-counted and relative survival rates (RSRs) of LGG and pathogens calculated. Second, 1-day-/3-day-old multispecies biofilms with and without LGG were exposed for 1 min to mouthwashes; cells were plate-counted and the pathogens’ RSRs were calculated. Third, 1-day-old biofilms were treated for 1 min with mouthwashes. Cells were plate-counted immediately and after 2-day cultivation. Recovery rates of pathogens were calculated and compared between biofilms with/without LGG. Live/Dead® staining served for structural analyses. Our results showed that RSRs of LGG were insignificantly smaller than those of pathogens in both 1-day and 3-day biofilms. No significant differences appeared in pathogens’ RSRs and recovery rates after treatment between biofilms with/without LGG. To conclude, biofilm LGG was susceptible to the mouthwashes; but biofilm LGG altered neither the mouthwash effects on oral pathogens nor affected their recovery.
