Comparison of the Effectiveness of Coping Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in Cognitive Immunity and Psychological Well-being Indicators of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Referring to Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran, Iran

Background and Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common diseases of the immune system which is increasing rapidly. The results of the recent literature review confirm the roles of stress and psychosocial stressors on physiological mechanisms, such as psychoneuroimmunology, as causal factors leading to the development of rheumatoid arthritis. Considering the effectiveness of psychological problems in the development of this disease, the present study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of coping therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy in cognitive immunity and psychological well-being indicators of patients with rheumatoid arthritis referring to Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran, Iran.   Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design. In the present study, the effectiveness of two independent variables (i.e., coping therapy and cognition-behavioral therapy) on dependent variables (i.e., immune-cognitive and psychological well-being indicators) was examined. The statistical population consisted of patients with rheumatoid arthritis referring to Imam Khomeini Hospital from March-August in 2019. The final sample (n=60) was selected by the purposive sampling method and the subjects were randomized into two groups of experimental and control (n=20 each). Subsequently, the experimental group was subjected to coping therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy interventions. The instruments used in the present study included Psychological Welfare Scale, C-reactive protein (CRP) immunological indicators test, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) test. The collected data were analyzed using the analysis of covariance model.   Results: The results of the analysis of covariance model were indicative of a p-value of < 0.05 as significant. Moreover, it was found out that the effectiveness of coping therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy on CRP, ESR, psychological well-being was significant (P<0.001, P<0.001, and P=0.004, respectively).   Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that coping therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy were effective in cognitive immunity and psychological well-being indicators. Therefore, this treatment can be adopted as a complementary therapy, alongside conventional medicines, for patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Effect of Cyclic Loading on Shear Bond Strength of Orthodontic Brackets: An In Vitro Study

Objectives: In clinical conditions, orthodontic brackets are exposed to periodic stresses mainly induced by mastication and intraoral forces. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of cyclic loading to simulate masticatory forces on shear bond strength (SBS) of metal brackets bonded to teeth using self-etch and total-etch bonding systems. Materials and Methods: Eighty-four caries- and crack-free bovine mandibular incisors were selected and randomly assigned to two groups based on the type of bonding system. After bonding, all samples were thermocycled (500 cycles) followed by cyclic loading of the half of the specimens in each group by applying 40 N load with 2 Hz frequency for 10,000 cycles. The SBS was measured using a universal testing machine. The adhesive remnant index (ARI) score was calculated subsequently. Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, two-way ANOVA and Mann-Whitney test. Results: The SBS was 10.09±3.78 MPa and 14.44±6.06 MPa for self-etch and total-etch bonding systems in cyclic loading group, respectively. The SBS was 9.43±5.3 MPa and 11.31±5.42 MPa in self-etch and total-etch groups without cyclic loading, respectively. Cyclic loading did not cause any significant difference in SBS (P>0.05). The ARI scores of the groups were significantly different (P<0.05). Conclusions: The present results demonstrated that low masticatory forces at 10,000 cycles did not have a significant impact on bracket-adhesive SBS; however, they significantly changed the ARI score. Even though the total-etch bonding system yielded higher SBS than the self-etch system, the performance of both was clinically acceptable

Alcohol Induced Osteopenia Can Cause Accelerated Orthodontic Tooth Movement in Male Wistar Rats

Background and Aim: Considering the effect of alcohol on bones, consuming alcohol may have some consequences on orthodontic tooth movement. The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of alcohol consumption on bone density and orthodontic tooth movement in rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, thirty rats were divided into three groups and underwent 3 weeks of different injection regimen. Group A received no injection while rats in group B and C were infused with saline and a mixture of alcohol and saline respectively. Tooth movement at day 21 was measured by leaf gauge. Optical density was measured using a digital densitometer at the beginning and the end of the experiment around four lateral cephalometric landmarks. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the differences in tooth movement. Changes in bone density were analyzed using paired T-test after evaluation of interactions. Results: Mean tooth movement in group C was (0.4± 0.06 mm) was significantly higher than no injection (0.26 ± 0.04 mm) and saline infusion (0.29 ± 0.04 mm) groups (P=0.001). Significant decrease in bone density were observed in alcohol injected group in skull (P=0.005) and mandible(P=0.004) after three weeks of experiment. Conclusion: Alcohol infusion could induce decreased bone density which might be a reason for faster tooth movement in alcohol-treated rats
