We have studied the effect of rhEGF on the buccal mucosal ulcer healing. rhEGF was rapidly degraded upon incubation with the hamster buccal mucosal homogenates; The degradation of rhEGF was significantly inhibited by sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Eudispert hv hydrogel and Polycarbophil 974P hydrogel
In this study, we analyzed the effect of chronic alcohol ingestion on the expression of constitutive (cNOS) and inducible (NOS-2) nitric-oxide synthase and the activity of an apoptotic protease, caspase-3, during buccal mucosal ulcer healing in rats maintained for 5 weeks on alcohol-containing or

Zalcitabine is a dideoxynucleoside antiretroviral agent that is phosphorylated to the active metabolite 2',3'-dideoxycytidine 5'-triphosphate (ddCTP) within both uninfected and HIV-infected cells. At therapeutic concentrations, ddCTP inhibits HIV replication by inhibiting the enzyme reverse
This paper summarises some of the oral adverse effects of antiretroviral agents. Some are related to bone marrow suppression which may also predispose to mouth ulcers. Erythema multiforme and toxic epidermal necrolysis are especially well recognized in HIV disease, particularly as reactions to
Behçet's disease (BD) is a vasculitis of unknown aetiology typified by chronic recurrent oral ulcers and systemic inflammatory manifestations. Neutrophils, and specifically their protease neutrophil elastase (NE), have been implicated in its pathology. Although NE is an effective antimicrobial,
Behçet's disease is a chronic multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized mainly by recurrent oral ulcers, ocular involvement, genital ulcers, and skin lesions, presenting with remissions and exacerbations. It is thought that both environmental and genetic factors contribute to its onset and
