Autophagy, a cellular quality control process that is activated in several diseases, includingheart failure, can be suppressed by Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g.). However, it is uncertain whether autophagy impairment byperiodontal pathogens stimulates the development of cardiac dysfunction after MI. Thus, this study aimed to investigate therelationship between PD and the development of MI while focusing on the role of autophagy. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes(NRCMs) and MI model mice were inoculated with wild-type P.g. or gingipain-deficient P.g. to assess the effect of autophagyinhibition by P.g. Wild-type P.g.-inoculated NRCMs had lower cell viability than those inoculated with gingipain-deficient P.g. Thisstudy also revealed that gingipains can cleave vesicle-associated membrane protein 8 (VAMP8), a protein involved in lysosomalsensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs), at the 47th lysine residue, thereby inhibiting autophagy. Wild-type P.g.-inoculated MI model mice were more susceptible to cardiac rupture, with lower survival rates and autophagy activity thangingipain-deficient P.g.-inoculated MI model mice. After inoculating genetically modified MI model mice (VAMP8-K47A) with wildtype P.g., they exhibited significantly increased autophagy activation compared with the MI model mice inoculated with wild-typeP.g., which suppressed cardiac rupture and enhanced overall survival rates. These findings suggest that gingipains, which arevirulence factors of P.g., impair the infarcted myocardium by cleaving VAMP8 and disrupting autophagy. This study confirms thestrong association between PD and MI and provides new insights into the potential role of autophagy in this relationship.展开更多

Extensive literature underscores the significance of HA in maintaining tissue water balance, fostering cell proliferation, promoting rapid cell migration, influencing cell differentiation during organism development, and facilitating tissue regeneration. Notably, HA’s interactions with cell surface receptors contribute to the viscosity of synovial fluid, activate the immune system, and enhance cartilage elasticity. Beyond these established functions, HA has also been investigated for its potential involvement in determining and studying the hormetic effects of radon water, adding a novel dimension to its applications in dental research. A thorough exploration of existing studies reveals a nuanced understanding of how HA interventions impact the outcomes of dental procedures. The comprehensive scope of these investigations allows for a more accurate assessment of the potential effectiveness of specific interventions and provides valuable insights into post-procedural prognoses for individual patients. This synthesis of literature serves as the foundation for elucidating the intricate interplay between HA, radon exposure, and their relevance in modern dental practices.展开更多

This review was intended to explore the observation that periodontal therapy may lead to an improvement of adipokines in diabetic patients. In summary, substantial evidence suggests that diabetes is associated with increased prevalence, extent and severity of periodontitis. Numerous mechanisms have been elucidated to explain the impact of diabetes on the periodontium. However, current knowledge concerning the role of major adipokines indicates only some of their associations with the pathogenesis of periodontitis in type 2 diabetes. Conversely, treatment of periodontal disease and reduction of oral inflammation may have positive effects on the diabetic condition, although evidence for this remains somewhat equivocal.展开更多

To find a suitable bioactive three- dimensional scaffold promoting cell proliferation and differentiation is critical in periodontal tissue engineering. The objective of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of a novel porcine acellular dermal matrix as periodontal tissue scaffolds both in vitroand in vivo. The scaffolds in this study were purified porcine acellular dermal matrix （PADM） and hydroxyapatite-treated PADM （HA-PADM）. The biodegradation patterns of the scaffolds were evaluated in vitro. The biocompatibility of the scaffolds in vivo was assessed by implanting them into the sacrospinal muscle of 20 New Zealand white rabbits. The hPDL cells were cultured with PADM or HA-PADM scaffolds for 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. Cell viability assay, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, hematoxylin and eosin （H＆E） staining, immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy were used to evaluate the biocompatibility of the scaffolds. In vitro, both PADM and HA-PADM scaffolds displayed appropriate biodegradation pattern, and also, demonstrated favorable tissue compatibility without tissue necrosis, fibrosis and other abnormal response. The absorbance readings of the WST-1 assay were increased with the time course, suggesting the cell proliferation in the scaffolds. The hPDL cells attaching, spreading and morphology on the surface of the scaffold were visualized by SEM, H＆E staining, immnuohistochemistry and confocal microscopy, demonstrated that hPDL cells were able to grow into the HA-PADM scaffolds and the amount of cells were growing up in the course of time. This study proved that HA-PADM scaffold had good biocompatibility in animals in vivoand appropriate biodegrading characteristics in vitro. The hPDL cells were able to proliferate and migrate into the scaffold. These observations may suggest that HA-PADM scaffold is a potential cell carrier for periodontal tissue regeneration.展开更多

All subjects were evaluated at base line for periodontal parameters(plaque index, oral hygiene index, modified gingival index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level) and systemic parameters [glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c), fasting lipid profile, and fasting blood glucose]. The case group received non-surgical periodontal therapy. Subjects were re-evaluated for periodontal and systemic parameters after three months.RESULTS Both groups were comparable at baseline. Three months after non surgical periodontal therapy(NSPT), there was significant improvement in periodontal parameters in case group. The mean difference in systemic parameters like HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose from baseline to fourth month for case group was 0.22 ± 0.11 and 3.90 ± 8.48 respectively and control group was-0.056 ± 0.10 and-1.66 ± 6.04 respectively, which was significant between case and control group(P < 0.05). In the case group there was a significant decrease in HbA1c from baseline to three months following NSPT(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION This study showed that periodontal inflammation could affect the glycemic control in otherwise systemically healthy individuals. Periodontal therapy improved periodontal health status and decreased glycosylated haemoglobin levels, thus reducing the probability of occurrence of inflammation induced prediabetes in patients with CHP.展开更多
文摘BACKGROUND The two-way relationship between periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)is well established.Prolonged hyperglycemia contributes to increased periodontal destruction and severe periodontitis,accentuating diabetic complications.An inflammatory link exists between diabetic retinopathy(DR)and periodontitis,but the studies regarding this association and the role of lipoprotein(a)[Lp(a)]and interleukin-6(IL-6)in these conditions are scarce in the literature.AIM To determine the correlation of periodontal inflamed surface area(PISA)with glycated Hb(HbA1c),serum IL-6 and Lp(a)in T2DM subjects with retinopathy.METHODS This cross-sectional study comprised 40 T2DM subjects with DR and 40 T2DM subjects without DR.All subjects were assessed for periodontal parameters[bleeding on probing(BOP),probing pocket depth,clinical attachment loss(CAL),oral hygiene index-simplified,plaque index(PI)and PISA],and systemic parameters[HbA1c,fasting plasma glucose and postprandial plasma glucose,fasting lipid profile,serum IL-6 and serum Lp(a)].RESULTS The proportion of periodontitis in T2DM with and without DR was 47.5%and 27.5%respectively.Severity of periodontitis,CAL,PISA,IL-6 and Lp(a)were higher in T2DM with DR group compared to T2DM without DR group.Significant difference was observed in the mean percentage of sites with BOP between T2DM with DR(69%)and T2DM without DR(41%),but there was no significant difference in PI(P>0.05).HbA1c was positively correlated with CAL(r=0.351,P=0.001),and PISA(r=0.393,P≤0.001)in study subjects.A positive correlation was found between PISA and IL-6(r=0.651,P<0.0001);PISA and Lp(a)(r=0.59,P<0.001);CAL and IL-6(r=0.527,P<0.0001)and CAL and Lp(a)(r=0.631,P<0.001)among study subjects.CONCLUSION Despite both groups having poor glycemic control and comparable plaque scores,the periodontal parameters were higher in DR as compared to T2DM without DR.Since a bidirectional link exists between periodontitis and DM,the presence of DR may have contributed to the severity of periodontal destruction and periodontitis may have influenced the progression of DR.
文摘The term"periodontal disease"refers to a group of chronic inflammatory illnesses caused by specific microorganisms from subgingival biofilm,that affect the toothsupporting tissues.Recent research has also shown that periodontal infection plays a role in aggravating systemic disease states at distal sites,reinforcing the significance of the oral cavity for general health.Additionally,it has been suggested that gastroenterological malignancies may be promoted by hematogenous,enteral or lymphatic translocation of periopathogens.In the past 25 years,the global burden of pancreatic cancer(PC)has more than doubled,making it one of the major causes of cancer-related mortality.Periodontitis has been linked to at least 50%increased risk of PC and it could be considered a risk factor for this malignancy.A recent study performed on 59000 African American women with a follow up of 21 years showed that participants who had poor dental health had higher chances of PC.The findings,according to researchers,might be related to the inflammation that some oral bacteria trigger.Regarding the mortality of PC,periodontitis considerably raises the chance of dying from PC.Microbiome alterations in the gut,oral cavity and pancreatic tissues of PC patients occur when compared to healthy flora,demonstrating a link between PC and microecology.Inflammation may also contribute to PC development,although the underlying pathway is not yet known.The function of the microbiome in PC risk has drawn more focus over the last decade.Future risk of PC has been linked to the oral microbiome,specifically increased levels of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and decreased relative abundance of Leptotrichia and Fusobacteria,suggesting that it may have an impact on the inflammatory condition by expanding,altering,and regulating the commensal microbiome.Patients who received periodontal treatment had significantly decreased incidence rate ratios for PC.By analyzing patterns in the microbiome composition throughout PC development and establishing strategies to enhance the cancerassociated microbial system,we can increase the efficacy of therapy and eventually find an application for the microbial system.The development of immunogenomics and gut microgenomics in the life sciences will result in a significant advancement in our understanding of how microbial systems and immunotherapy interact,and it may also have intriguing therapeutic implications for extending the lifetime of PC patients.
文摘A growing body of evidence from multiple areas proposes that periodontal disease,accompanied by oral inflammation and pathological changes in the microbiome,induces gut dysbiosis and is involved in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).A subgroup of NAFLD patients have a severely progressive form,namely nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH),which is characterized by histological findings that include inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis.NASH has a high risk of further progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.The oral microbiota may serve as an endogenous reservoir for gut microbiota,and transport of oral bacteria through the gastro-intestinal tract can set up a gut microbiome dysbiosis.Gut dysbiosis increases the production of potential hepatotoxins,including lipopolysaccharide,ethanol,and other volatile organic compounds such as acetone,phenol and cyclopentane.Moreover,gut dysbiosis increases intestinal permeability by disrupting tight junctions in the intestinal wall,leading to enhanced translocation of these hepatotoxins and enteric bacteria into the liver through the portal circulation.In particular,many animal studies support that oral administration of Porphyromonas gingivalis,a typical periodontopathic bacterium,induces disturbances in glycolipid metabolism and inflammation in the liver with gut dysbiosis.NAFLD,also known as the hepatic phenotype of metabolic syndrome,is strongly associated with metabolic complications,such as obesity and diabetes.Periodontal disease also has a bidirectional relationship with metabolic syndrome,and both diseases may induce oral and gut microbiome dysbiosis with insulin resistance and systemic chronic inflammation cooperatively.In this review,we will describe the link between periodontal disease and NAFLD with a focus on basic,epidemiological,and clinical studies,and discuss potential mechanisms linking the two diseases and possible therapeutic approaches focused on the microbiome.In conclusion,it is presumed that the pathogenesis of NAFLD involves a complex crosstalk between periodontal disease,gut microbiota,and metabolic syndrome.Thus,the conventional periodontal treatment and novel microbiome-targeted therapies that include probiotics,prebiotics and bacteriocins would hold great promise for preventing the onset and progression of NAFLD and subsequent complications in patients with periodontal disease.

文摘While several previous studies have indicated the link between periodontal disease (PD) and myocardial infarction (MI), theunderlying mechanisms remain unclear. Autophagy, a cellular quality control process that is activated in several diseases, includingheart failure, can be suppressed by Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g.). However, it is uncertain whether autophagy impairment byperiodontal pathogens stimulates the development of cardiac dysfunction after MI. Thus, this study aimed to investigate therelationship between PD and the development of MI while focusing on the role of autophagy. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes(NRCMs) and MI model mice were inoculated with wild-type P.g. or gingipain-deficient P.g. to assess the effect of autophagyinhibition by P.g. Wild-type P.g.-inoculated NRCMs had lower cell viability than those inoculated with gingipain-deficient P.g. Thisstudy also revealed that gingipains can cleave vesicle-associated membrane protein 8 (VAMP8), a protein involved in lysosomalsensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs), at the 47th lysine residue, thereby inhibiting autophagy. Wild-type P.g.-inoculated MI model mice were more susceptible to cardiac rupture, with lower survival rates and autophagy activity thangingipain-deficient P.g.-inoculated MI model mice. After inoculating genetically modified MI model mice (VAMP8-K47A) with wildtype P.g., they exhibited significantly increased autophagy activation compared with the MI model mice inoculated with wild-typeP.g., which suppressed cardiac rupture and enhanced overall survival rates. These findings suggest that gingipains, which arevirulence factors of P.g., impair the infarcted myocardium by cleaving VAMP8 and disrupting autophagy. This study confirms thestrong association between PD and MI and provides new insights into the potential role of autophagy in this relationship.
文摘Hyaluronic acid (HA) preparations have emerged as pivotal components in contemporary dentistry, gaining widespread recognition for their multifaceted roles in various biological functions. Extensive literature underscores the significance of HA in maintaining tissue water balance, fostering cell proliferation, promoting rapid cell migration, influencing cell differentiation during organism development, and facilitating tissue regeneration. Notably, HA’s interactions with cell surface receptors contribute to the viscosity of synovial fluid, activate the immune system, and enhance cartilage elasticity. Beyond these established functions, HA has also been investigated for its potential involvement in determining and studying the hormetic effects of radon water, adding a novel dimension to its applications in dental research. A thorough exploration of existing studies reveals a nuanced understanding of how HA interventions impact the outcomes of dental procedures. The comprehensive scope of these investigations allows for a more accurate assessment of the potential effectiveness of specific interventions and provides valuable insights into post-procedural prognoses for individual patients. This synthesis of literature serves as the foundation for elucidating the intricate interplay between HA, radon exposure, and their relevance in modern dental practices.

文摘Background:Observational studies have shown that inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),such as ulcerative colitis(UC)and Crohn disease(CD),is associated with gingivitis and periodontal disease(GP).This study aims to investigate whether there is a causal relationship between IBD and GP.Methods:This study assessed the causal relationship between IBD and GP through a two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR)study.The required data were obtained through the IEU OpenGWAS project.Instrumental variable screening and the MR and sensitivity analyses were performed using the“TwoSampleMR”R package.Results:IBD,UC,and CD may have a causal effect on GP(IBD,inverse variance weighting[IVW]OR=1.05,95%CI=1.00–1.10,P=0.03;UC,IVWOR=1.05,95%CI=1.00–1.11,P=0.03;CD,weighted median OR=1.06,95%CI=1.00–1.13,P=0.04;simple mode OR=1.15,95%CI=1.02–1.31,P=0.03).Scatterplots,forest plots,and funnel plots showed a significant relationship between IBD and GP and confirmed the robustness of the model.In sensitivity testing,no horizontal pleiotropy or heterogeneity was found in this study.Conclusions:This study found a possible causal relationship between IBD(UC and CD)and GP,which deserves to be considered in clinical practice.
文摘Bacterial endotoxins are a major concern in periodontal health and diseases owing to their structure and biological activity.With up-to-date knowledge of endotoxins and the recent findings about the influence of endotoxins in dental health,their probable mode of pathogenesis,and standard detection methods,this review analyzes the potential efficacy and benefits of probiotics in combination with conventional and contemporary treatment measures.In the oral cavity,Gram-negative bacteria are documented to predominate in the pulpal lesions with radiolucent areas and in the root canal with pulp necrosis,where they pose an absolute threat by promoting a series of inflammatory reactions.Endotoxin,a constituent of Gram-negative bacteria establishes a nexus between cytokine stimulation and proinflammatory reactions,therefore plays a critical role in decaying dental pulp and modulating periodontal diseases.Currently,the treatment regimen involves several biochemical preparations.In addition,probiotics have been reported to control endotoxin in gingivitis and contribute to the overall improvement of dental health.A potential benefit of a combination of probiotics as a complementary treatment along with the conventional treatment warrant more empirical evidence to elucidate its role and mechanism in resolving the clinical manifestations associated with endotoxins in the periodontal region.

文摘Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease(ASCVD)includes a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels and accounts for major morbidity and premature death worldwide.Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with the gradual destruction of supporting tissues around the teeth,including gingiva,periodontal ligament,alveolar bone,and cementum.Periodontitis has been found to potentially increase the risk of ASCVD.Generally,oral microorganisms and inflammation are the major factors for periodontitis to the incidence of ASCVD.Recently,evidence has shown that the loss of masticatory function is another important factor of periodontitis to the incidence of ASCVD.In this review,we illustrate the recent finding of the relationship between periodontitis and ASCVD,from a microscale perspective-oral microorganisms,inflammation,and tooth loss.With the high prevalence of periodontitis,it is important to add oral therapy as a regular ASCVD prevention strategy.Regular dental visits could be a helpful strategy for ASCVD patients or general medical practitioners.

文摘BACKGROUND In the clinical scenario,adult patients with periodontal diseases and dental malformation,characterized by dental crowding in lower anterior teeth with the thin biotype,often require orthodontic treatment.This case report aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics(PAOO)combined with autologous platelet-rich fibrin(PRF)in an adult patient with class I malocclusion along with dental crowding,a thin periodontal biotype,and buccal plate deficiency.CASE SUMMARY A 32-year-old female complaining of dental crowding and gingival bleeding was referred to the orthodontic clinic.The patient underwent periodontal risk assessment prior to orthodontic treatment.She was diagnosed with a high risk of gingival recession due to dental crowding,root prominence,loss of buccal plates,and a thin gingival tissue biotype.The treatment regimen included PAOO combined with autologous PRF for alveolar augmentation and interproximal enamel reduction for moderate dental crowding.Clinically,PAOO-assisted orthodontic tooth movement in this case showed enhanced periodontium remodeling.Radiographic outcomes also showed statistically significant improvements(P<0.01)in the mandibular buccal alveolar bone.CONCLUSION This case report suggests the combination of autologous PRF with PAOO to enhance bone augmentation and long-term tissue support in adult orthodontic patients with periodontal disease.

文摘The periodontal ligament(PDL)is an essential fibrous tissue for tooth retention in the alveolar bone socket.PDL tissue further functions to cushion occlusal force,maintain alveolar bone height,allow orthodontic tooth movement,and connect tooth roots with bone.Severe periodontitis,deep caries,and trauma cause irreversible damage to this tissue,eventually leading to tooth loss through the destruction of tooth retention.Many patients suffer from these diseases worldwide,and its prevalence increases with age.To address this issue,regenerative medicine for damaged PDL tissue as well as the surrounding tissues has been extensively investigated regarding the potential and effectiveness of stem cells,scaffolds,and cytokines as well as their combined applications.In particular,PDL stem cells(PDLSCs)have been well studied.In this review,I discuss comprehensive studies on PDLSCs performed in vivo and contemporary reports focusing on the acquisition of large numbers of PDLSCs for therapeutic applications because of the very small number of PDLSCs available in vivo.

文摘Periodontal disease is a chronic infectious disease of the oral cavity.Its main clinical features are periodontal pocket formation and alveolar bone resorption.Scholars'research hotspot is to achieve periodontal tissue regeneration in patients.Studies have found that strontium has certain potential in promoting periodontal tissue regeneration.In recent years,scholars have been conducting research on strontium and periodontal tissue regeneration,with a view to opening a new path for periodontal disease treatment.This article reviews the research status of strontium and periodontal tissue regeneration.The review results show that strontium can induce the proliferation and differentiation of PDLSCs and promote the regeneration of lost bone tissue;it can inhibit osteoclast activity and induce osteoclast apoptosis through a variety of signaling pathways,thereby inhibiting bone resorption;Promote bone formation;Strontium also has the function of promoting early angiogenesis and suppressing immune inflammatory response.Because the current research on strontium and periodontal tissue regeneration is only focused on in vivo and in vitro experiments,there is no relevant clinical trial to apply strontium to periodontal tissue regeneration.Therefore,if strontium is used to promote periodontal tissue regeneration to achieve the treatment of periodontal disease,further research is needed.
文摘Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of periodontal sequence in combination with orthodontic treatment of patients with periodontitis.Methods:Retrospective analysis of periodontitis patients(54 cases)treated at our hospital between February 2018 and June 2019.The clinical data of all the enrolled participants were subjected to periodontal serial combined orthodontic treatment,and all the registered participants were observed at the initial consultation,periodontal serial treatment1 Periodontal parameters at the end of months and at the end of orthodontic treatment,serial periodontal treatment and orthodontic treatment for all enrolled individuals,x-rays and Oral examinations were performed,and the results were analyzed.Results:Compared to the initial visit,all enrolled individuals had a higher plaque index(PLI)after 1 month of periodontal treatment and at the end of orthodontic treatment.Bleeding index(BI),periodontal probe depth(PD),and periodontal attachment loss(CAL)levels were all lower than those detected at the initial visit.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);after serial periodontal treatment and orthodontic treatment,the x-ray results showed that the patients’Alveolar bone resorption or regeneration ceased;The results of the oral examination showed that the patient’s occlusal relationship improved significantly and basically returned to normal.Status,a masticatory function was significantly improved,and individual tooth loosening due to occlusal trauma was improved considerably.Conclusion:The combination of periodontal sequence and orthodontic treatment of patients with periodontitis is beneficial to enhance periodontal parameters,improve occlusal relationships,and improve masticatory function.
文摘Objective:To investigate the effect of crown lengthening on patients with different periodontal biological types.Methods:60 patients with different periodontal biotypes treated in our hospital from May 2017 to February 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the different periodontal biotypes,the above-mentioned patients were further divided into control group(thin fan type,30 cases)and observation group(thick flat type,30 cases).The periodontal probing depth(PD),plaque index(PLI),bleeding index(BI)and gingival margin position at 1 week,1 month,2 months and 3 months after operation were compared between the two groups.Results:The PD,Bi and PLI values of the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment(P<0.05);There was no significant difference in gingival margin position between the two groups after 1 week to 1 month and 1 month to 2 months(P>0.05);After 2 months to 3 months of treatment,the gingival margin distance of the observation group was larger than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Crown lengthening can effectively improve the periodontal indexes of different periodontal biotypes,and the gingival margin of thick and flat type patients moves more toward the crown.
文摘Periodontal disease is a high prevalent disease.In the United States 47.2% of adults ≥ 30 years old have been diagnosed with some type of periodontitis.Longitudinal studies have demonstrated a two-way relationship between diabetes and periodontitis,with more severe periodontal tissue destruction in diabetic patients and poorer glycemic control in diabetic subjects with periodontal disease.Periodontal treatment can be successful in diabetic patients.Short term effects of periodontal treatment are similar in diabetic patients and healthy population but,more recurrence of periodontal disease can be expected in no well controlled diabetic individuals.However,effects of periodontitis and its treatment on diabetes metabolic control are not clearly defined and results of the studies remain controversial.

文摘Objective:To investigate effect of orthodontic force on inflammatory periodontal tissue remodeling and expression of IL-6 and IL-8 in rats.Methods:Eighty SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups,blank control group(group A)with 5 rats,treatment normal group(group B)with 25 rats,inflammation control group(group(group C)with 25 rats,inflammation treatment group(group D)with 25 rats.Immunohistochemistry and histomorphometric analysis was performed to measure the expression of IL-6,IL-8 and the firet molar to the recent movement in the distance.Results:The expression of IL-8 reached a maximum on day 5 and declined thereafter in group B;the expression of IL-6 reached a maximum on day 5 in group B.The expression of IL-6 and IL-8 was gradually weakened with time in group C.The expression of IL-6 and IL-8 were high,and reached a maximum on day 5 and declined thereafter in group D.AD of positive cells in group D were higher than group B at each time point(P<0.05).The time which 0.49 N orthodontic force was loaded was longer,orthodontic tooth movement distance was greater.Movement distance in group D were longer than group B(P<0.05).Conclusions:Orthodontic force as well as inflammatory stimulus can evoke the expression of IL-6 and IL-8.Under the combined effects of inflammation and orthodontic force,the expression of IL-6,IL-8will increase.
文摘The association between adipokines and inflammatory periodontal diseases has been studied over the last two decades. This review was intended to explore the observation that periodontal therapy may lead to an improvement of adipokines in diabetic patients. In summary, substantial evidence suggests that diabetes is associated with increased prevalence, extent and severity of periodontitis. Numerous mechanisms have been elucidated to explain the impact of diabetes on the periodontium. However, current knowledge concerning the role of major adipokines indicates only some of their associations with the pathogenesis of periodontitis in type 2 diabetes. Conversely, treatment of periodontal disease and reduction of oral inflammation may have positive effects on the diabetic condition, although evidence for this remains somewhat equivocal.

文摘Regeneration of periodontal tissue is the most promising method for restoring periodontal structures. To find a suitable bioactive three- dimensional scaffold promoting cell proliferation and differentiation is critical in periodontal tissue engineering. The objective of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of a novel porcine acellular dermal matrix as periodontal tissue scaffolds both in vitroand in vivo. The scaffolds in this study were purified porcine acellular dermal matrix （PADM） and hydroxyapatite-treated PADM （HA-PADM）. The biodegradation patterns of the scaffolds were evaluated in vitro. The biocompatibility of the scaffolds in vivo was assessed by implanting them into the sacrospinal muscle of 20 New Zealand white rabbits. The hPDL cells were cultured with PADM or HA-PADM scaffolds for 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. Cell viability assay, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, hematoxylin and eosin （H＆E） staining, immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy were used to evaluate the biocompatibility of the scaffolds. In vitro, both PADM and HA-PADM scaffolds displayed appropriate biodegradation pattern, and also, demonstrated favorable tissue compatibility without tissue necrosis, fibrosis and other abnormal response. The absorbance readings of the WST-1 assay were increased with the time course, suggesting the cell proliferation in the scaffolds. The hPDL cells attaching, spreading and morphology on the surface of the scaffold were visualized by SEM, H＆E staining, immnuohistochemistry and confocal microscopy, demonstrated that hPDL cells were able to grow into the HA-PADM scaffolds and the amount of cells were growing up in the course of time. This study proved that HA-PADM scaffold had good biocompatibility in animals in vivoand appropriate biodegrading characteristics in vitro. The hPDL cells were able to proliferate and migrate into the scaffold. These observations may suggest that HA-PADM scaffold is a potential cell carrier for periodontal tissue regeneration.

文摘Periodontal diseases are infectious diseases that are characterized by progressive damage to dental support tissue.The major goal of periodontal therapy is to regenerate the periodontium destroyed by periodontal diseases.Human periodontal ligament(PDL)tissue possesses periodontal regenerative properties,and periodontal ligament stem cells(PDLSCs)with the capacity for osteogenic differentiation show strong potential in clinical application for periodontium repair and regeneration.Noncoding RNAs(ncRNAs),which include a substantial portion of poly-A tail mature RNAs,are considered“transcriptional noise.”Recent studies show that ncRNAs play a major role in PDLSC differentiation;therefore,exploring how ncRNAs participate in the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs may help to elucidate the underlying mechanism of the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs and further shed light on the potential of stem cell transplantation for periodontium regeneration.In this review paper,we discuss the history of PDLSC research and highlight the regulatory mechanism of ncRNAs in the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs.

文摘AIM To evaluate the effect of nonsurgical periodontal therapy on glycosylated haemoglobin levels in pre-diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis(CHP).METHODS Sixty pre-diabetic patients with CHP were selected and equally allocated to case and control group. All subjects were evaluated at base line for periodontal parameters(plaque index, oral hygiene index, modified gingival index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level) and systemic parameters [glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c), fasting lipid profile, and fasting blood glucose]. The case group received non-surgical periodontal therapy. Subjects were re-evaluated for periodontal and systemic parameters after three months.RESULTS Both groups were comparable at baseline. Three months after non surgical periodontal therapy(NSPT), there was significant improvement in periodontal parameters in case group. The mean difference in systemic parameters like HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose from baseline to fourth month for case group was 0.22 ± 0.11 and 3.90 ± 8.48 respectively and control group was-0.056 ± 0.10 and-1.66 ± 6.04 respectively, which was significant between case and control group(P < 0.05). In the case group there was a significant decrease in HbA1c from baseline to three months following NSPT(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION This study showed that periodontal inflammation could affect the glycemic control in otherwise systemically healthy individuals. Periodontal therapy improved periodontal health status and decreased glycosylated haemoglobin levels, thus reducing the probability of occurrence of inflammation induced prediabetes in patients with CHP.
