Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activity in gingival samples obtained from patients with periodontitis.
Materials And Methods: Fifteen patients with stage III grade B (SIIIGB) and eleven with stage III grade C (SIIIGC) periodontitis were included and compared to 15 control subjects. β-Catenin, Wnt 3a, Wnt 5a, and Wnt 10b expressions were evaluated by Q-PCR.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), occludin (Occ), and tricellulin (Tric) in periodontitis, as well as their alterations due to smoking.
Background: Tight junctions (TJ), which consist of transmembrane and cytoplasmic scaffolding proteins, connect the epithelial cells of the periodontium. Occ, claudins, junctional adhesion molecules, and Tric are transmembrane TJ proteins found at the cell membrane.
Article Synopsis
- Ameloblastoma Overview
- : Ameloblastoma is a slow-growing benign tumor linked to tooth development, which can cause facial asymmetry due to its locally invasive nature.
- Study Focus
- : This case study reviews the treatment of a 56-year-old male with ameloblastoma, suggesting marsupialization as an initial, conservative treatment option, particularly effective in patients with cystic lesions.
- Treatment Outcomes
- : The case involved imaging and biopsy confirming the diagnosis, followed by successful obturator marsupialization, emphasizing that conservative approaches can preserve bone integrity and minimize complications compared to more aggressive treatments.
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) was first described as low-grade lymphoma associated with the stomach mucosa. Although the stomach and ocular adnexa are the most common localizations of MALT lymphoma, it has also been described in many other organs, including the head and neck, lungs, thyroid, breast, bladder, saliva glands, conjunctiva, and tear glands. MALT lymphoma originating from the dura is rare.
