Filter by:Metabolic syndrome and periodontitis are diseases that lower the quality of life and their incidence rates are increasing. Since both of these diseases are associated with systemic inflammation and insulin resistance, they may be comorbid. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of interleukin-20 (IL-20) on periodontal destruction in individuals with metabolic syndrome while considering the relationship between metabolic syndrome and periodontitis. This study included a total of 80 individuals who were systemically and periodontally healthy (CG, n=20), were systemically healthy and had periodontitis (PG, n=20), had metabolic syndrome and were periodontally healthy (MG, n=20), or had both metabolic syndrome and periodontitis (MPG, n=20). Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum samples were collected from all participants for biochemical analyses.
The participants were divided into two groups: Group I (cryotherapy) (n =10) after the completion of the mechanical preparation intra oral cryotherapy was applied. Group II (control) (n =10) received standard root canal treatment without the application of any type of cryotherapy.
This study aimed to link lifestyle factors (Mediterranean diet adherence, stress, sleep quality, physical activity) to caries and apical periodontitis in 149 university-based individuals. Data included clinical and radiographic assessments and lifestyle questionnaires. Statistical tests and logistic regression were employed to analyze the relationships between these factors and oral health conditions.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to examine circulating biomarkers before and after weight loss in patients with obesity, with or without concomitant diabetes, undergoing bariatric surgery. The main questions that are being addressed are: - Do biomarkers of hemostasis, including coagulation, fibrinolysis, and platelet function improve following surgery and if so, is that improvement more pronounced in patients with diabetes? - Do biomarkers of endothelial function and other aspects of vascular function improve following surgery and if so, is that improvement more pronounced in patients with diabetes? - Do biomarkers of inflammation, including markers of adipocyte function, improve following surgery and if so, is that improvement more pronounced in patients with diabetes? - The possible role of circulating extracellular vesicles reflecting biological functions above will also be investigated (optional) Participants will be asked to attend in total five study visits before and after surgery including a final visit at two years post-surgery. Comparisons will be performed within- as well as between groups.
The effect of parenteral glutamine on the biomarkers of myocardial injury and inflammation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with and without cardiopulmonary bypass (DCP) will be analyzed. Randomized controlled clinical trial, from October 2018 to February 2022. 124 patients: 14 patients with DCP and 14 patients without DCP, both + glutamine (L-alanyl-L-glutamine dipeptide, at a dose of 0.4 g / kg) 6 hours before surgery and 14 patients with PCD and 14 patients without PCD + placebo (saline) 6 hours before surgery. Blood samples will be taken to measure the level of TROP-I, CPK-MB, HSP-70, TNFa, IL6, IL10 and PCR 1 hour before the administration of Glutamine / Placebo, 1 hour before surgery, then at 1 , 12 and 24 hours after surgery.
This is a prospective, interventional, double-blinded placebo-controlled study of up to 40 participants to evaluate the effect of a botanical formulation on inflammatory biomarkers and epigenetic age.
This study will evaluate whether the anti-inflammatory effect of colchicine is beneficial in ACS patients
Background The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of Titanium dioxide nanoparticles incorporated into the acrylic baseplates of maxillary part of twin block appliances in orthodontic patients during the treatment period. Material and methods Twenty-six patients were selected randomly and divided into two groups(n=13). Test group patients were used orthodontic functional appliances containing Titanium dioxide nanoparticles in acrylic baseplates. Control group patients were used orthodontic functional appliances without Titanium dioxide nanoparticles in acrylic baseplates. Swap samples were taken from palatal gingiva facing fitting surface of acrylic component of maxillary part of twin block appliance for each patient at five times intervals (base line sample, after one, two, four, and six months) then cultured in blood agar plates to calculate bacterial colony count.
The purpose of this randomized, double-blind trial was to compare the effects of preemptive Oxycodone and sufentanil at the same dose on pain and inflammatory response after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma. To study the effect of single dose intravenous injection of Oxycodone and sufentanil before TACE on inflammatory reaction after TACE; And (ii) evaluate the effects of different opioid drugs on pain and nausea/vomiting after TACE.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common, preventable, and treatable disease that is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a heterogenous disease of the lungs that can comprise of different pathophysiological phenotypes, including emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and Small Airways Disease (SAD). COPD is also associated with chronic inflammation and this ongoing inflammation may result in airway remodeling and excessive mucus plugging within the small airways Small airways disease (SAD) is a cardinal feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) first recognized in the nineteenth century. The diverse histopathological features associated with SAD underpin the heterogeneous nature of COPD. The small airways have been defined as < 2mm diameter and arise from the 4th - 13th generation of airway branching (taking trachea as 1st generation to alveoli as 23rd), but on average arise by the 8th aim of this work is to study the relationship between neutrophilic airway inflammation, small airways dysfunction, and frequency of acute exacerbation in stable COPD patients
