(), a Gram-negative oral pathogen, promotes and accelerates periodontitis-associated gut disorders. Intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction is crucial in the pathogenesis of intestinal and systemic diseases. In this study, we sought to elucidate the protective role of cinnamaldehyde (CNM, an activator of Nrf2) against (W83) and -derived lipopolysaccharide (-LPS) induced intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction via antioxidative mechanisms in IEC-6 cells.

(2) Methods: A literature search with defined inclusion criteria was performed. PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were searched through September 2020.

It is a possible valuable anesthetic technique in individuals to be operated on with conditions such as ear lobe lacerations, submandibular abscesses, and trauma to the mandibular or the neck region. Its application in oral and maxillofacial surgery is for various surgical procedures in the peri-mandibular area, excision of superficial lesions in the mandibular, ear lobe, neck region, and suturing of the skin in the corresponding region.

- - Intraprostatic inflammation is common in various prostate diseases like prostatitis and cancer, with links to periodontal diseases that may elevate serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in men.
- - Study aimed to identify specific periodontal pathogens in tissue samples from men diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), inflammation, and prostate cancer using DNA analysis techniques.
- - Results indicated the presence of periodontal pathogens in prostate tissues, suggesting a potential connection between periodontal health and prostate cancer, although the exact mechanisms remain unclear.
Article Synopsis
- Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition linked to microbial interactions and the immune response, which can lead to tooth loss; smoking exacerbates this condition by increasing enzyme secretion.
- A study compared serum albumin and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in smokers versus non-smokers with generalized chronic periodontitis, finding that smokers had higher ALP and lower albumin levels.
- Results indicated a significant connection between elevated ALP and reduced albumin in smokers, highlighting the impact of smoking on periodontal health.
Salivary gland tumor looms as painless enlarging mass which may embrace in both major or minor glands. Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) accord about 40-70% of all salivary gland tumors, where Warthin tumor, basal cell adenoma (BCA), adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), and sebaceous tumors have a strong predilection for major salivary gland. However, polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) has a marked predilection for the minor salivary gland.

There is considerable evidence that proves the interrelationship between bacterial/viral infections and carcinogenesis. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease triggered by gram-negative anaerobic bacteria.

The diagnosis of concrescence has largely relied on the conventional 2D imaging. The 2D imaging has inherent limitations such as distortion and superimposition.
