Hippophae rhamnoides, also known as sea buckthorn is an ancient plant with modern virtues, due to its nutritional and medicinal value. Sea buckthorn berry is rich in oil. Seeds (seed oil) and fruit pulp (pulp oil) are used for oil extraction. The oil content of Sea buckthorn pulp and seeds are in range of 18.2-43.5% and 7.03 -12.86% respectively. While linoleic (18:2n-6) and á-linolenic (18:3n-3) acids are the major fatty acids in the seed oil, the high level of palmitoleic acid (16:1n-7, up to 50%) differentiates sea buckthorn pulp oil from most other oils of plant origin. Oil from sea buckthorn contains several bioactive components such as vitamin E, vitamin K, carotenoids and phytosterols. Sea buckthorn oil has shown great healing effect in treating damaged mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract, wound, burn, dry eye, dermatitis and sunburn. The oil from pulp and the seeds of sea buckthorn have been shown to possess anti-diabetic, anti-atherogenic, hypocholesteromic, hypotensive, anti-hypoxic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Sea buckthorn oils are used as a source for ingredients in several commercially available cosmetic products and nutritional supplements like jelly, plant capsules, or oral fluids.

In large dairy farms, a special place is occupied by diseases of the mammary glands, which significantly affect the productivity of animals and reduce the quality of milk. Despite the fact that much attention is paid in science and practice to the problem of the spread and prevention of breast diseases, their harm increases every year. The main method of prevention of mastitis diseases is cost-effective animal husbandry with compliance with zoohygienic requirements for keeping, feeding and milking, which ensure a high level of natural stability of the body and productivity of animals. Our proposed drug «Dorob-K» was used for the first time. The composition of the drug consists of red oil and ASD2 fraction. Red oil-polyphite oil, a medicinal product of plant origin. A complex of biologically active substances that are part of herbs (mainly saponin glycosides – glycyrrhizin, as well as essential oils, peptides, vitamins and minerals) have an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, regenerating effect. It is a 100% natural extract made from 7 types of medicinal plants (melissa grass, thyme creeping grass, rosehip fruit, licorice roots, nettle leaves, St. John's wort grass, sea buckthorn oil) and as an auxiliary substance - sunflower oil. Sea buckthorn oil and ASD2 fraction have immunomodulating and regenerating properties. They, covering inflammatory tissues, reduce the sensitivity of nerve endings and contribute to faster healing of inflammatory processes. And ASD2 fraction is a tissue preparation that has a high therapeutic effect in the treatment of mastitis, activates the physiological processes of a healthy body and increases its resistance to various factors. The proposed drug contains natural, environmentally friendly and pharmacologically active drugs. The drug «Dorob-K» is easy to prepare and use. The prepared drug was injected into the udder of cows intracisternally, in an amount of 5 ml, 2 times a day, with an interval of 12 hours. For the treatment of latent udder, 4 days were used, and for the treatment of clinical forms-7 days.

Lipids and proteins of skin cells are the most exposed to harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation contained in sunlight. There is a growing need for natural compounds that will protect these sensitive molecules from damage, without harmful side effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sea buckthorn seed oil on the redox balance and lipid metabolism in UV irradiated cells formed different skin layers to examine whether it had a protective effect. Human keratinocytes and fibroblasts were subjected to UVA (ultraviolet type A; 30 J/cm2 and 20 J/cm2) or UVB (ultraviolet type B; 60 mJ/cm2 and 200 mJ/cm2, respectively) radiation and treated with sea buckthorn seed oil (500 ng/mL), and the redox activity was estimated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and enzymatic/non-enzymatic antioxidants activity/level (using electron spin resonance (ESR), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and spectrophotometry). Lipid metabolism was measured by the level of fatty acids, lipid peroxidation products, endocannabinoids and phospholipase A2 activity (GC/MS (gas chromatography/mass spectrometry), LC/MS (liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry), and spectrophotometry). Also, transcription factor Nrf2 (nuclear erythroid 2-related factor) and its activators/inhibitors, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) and cannabinoid receptor levels were measured (Western blot). Sea buckthorn oil partially prevents UV-induced ROS generation and enhances the level of non-enzymatic antioxidants such as glutathione (GSH), thioredoxin (Trx) and vitamins E and A. Moreover, it stimulates the activity of Nrf2 leading to enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity. As a result, decreases in lipid peroxidation products (4-hydroxynonenal, 8-isoprostaglandin) and increases in the endocannabinoid receptor levels were observed. Moreover, sea buckthorn oil treatment enhanced the level of phospholipid and free fatty acids, while simultaneously decreasing the cannabinoid receptor expression in UV irradiated keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The main differences in sea buckthorn oil on various skin cell types was observed in the case of PPARs—in keratinocytes following UV radiation PPAR expression was decreased by sea buckthorn oil treatment, while in fibroblasts the reverse effect was observed, indicating an anti-inflammatory effect. With these results, sea buckthorn seed oil exhibited prevention of UV-induced disturbances in redox balance as well as lipid metabolism in skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes, which indicates it is a promising natural compound in skin photo-protection.

The Mayten tree (Maytenus boaria Mol.), a native plant of Chile that grows under environmentally limiting conditions, was historically harvested to extract an edible oil, and may represent an opportunity to expand current vegetable oil production. Seeds were collected from Mayten trees in north-central Chile, and seed oil was extracted by solvent extraction. The seed oil showed a reddish coloration, with quality parameters similar to those of other vegetable oils. The fatty acid composition revealed high levels of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Oleic and linoleic acids, which are relevant to the human diet, were well represented in the extracted Mayten tree seed oil. The oil displayed an antioxidant capacity due to the high contents of antioxidant compounds (polyphenols and carotenoids) and may have potential health benefits for diseases associated with oxidative stress.

INTRODUCTION: During the COVID-19 pandemic, dentists were classified as a high-risk professional category for SARS-Cov2 infection and transmission, due to the proximity of the patient's face as well as the frequent performance of aerosol-generating procedures. Transmission of this pathogen during dental procedures can occur by inhaling aerosols/droplets from infected individuals or by direct contact with mucous membranes, oral fluids or contaminated instruments and surfaces. Aware of the risks inherent to the exercise of this profession and facing the world scenario, several recommendations have been suggested for dental surgeons and dental students in patient care. Although biosafety is already part of the dentist's routine, the pandemic context presupposes the need to revisit the guiding principles of this practice and to know the particularities imposed by a hitherto unknown virus. OBJECTIVE: This work aims to propose and discuss measures to deal with the spread of SARS-Cov2 in the dental environment, emphasizing the necessary care for the protection of professionals and patients, in the context of Dentistry in Brazil. METHODS: To this end, a compilation of measures and recommendations was made based on the main technical documents published in recent months by the health authorities. RESULTS: The main recommendations include patient screening, social distance, adjustments to personal protective equipment (PPE) and the use of appropriate disinfection products and techniques. CONCLUSION: This work presented, in an objective and practical way, essential measures for dental work during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the probable permanence of these actions and the importance of adopting rigid, adequate and feasible measures.
