None of the antiseptics significantly reduced the CFU/ml for biofilms. After blood contamination ProntOral and polyhexanide significantly reduced CFU/ml in all strains, whereas CHX tended to increase the CFU/ml. Polyhexanide mouth rinses seem to be suitable disinfectants against oral pathogens without their anti-biofilm potential being impaired by blood.

The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effect of spexin on blood pressure, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia in rats with metabolic syndrome (MS) induced by high-fructose diet (HFD) and the possible underlying mechanism. Forty adult male rats were randomly assigned into four equal groups; Control, Spexin, HFD and HFD + spexin. Induction of the MS with HFD was associated with increased body mass index, elevated blood pressure, blood glucose, insulin, uric acid, advanced glycation end products and insulin resistance, interlekin-6, tumour necrosis factor-alpha together with dyslipidemia, low-serum spexin, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors-gamma (PPAR-ɣ) and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Spexin attenuated MS-induced deleterious effects which can be attributed to activation of PPAR-ɣ and AMPK as well as inhibiting inflammation. These findings indicate that spexin could be a beneficial complementary agent for metabolic syndrome treatment.Sample pre-treatment plays an important role in sample analysis, which directly affects the accuracy and reliability of the results. In this work we studied the influence of three common sample pre-treatment methods (direct injection, microwave digestion
