Cytokine levels in the gingival crevicular fluid and their association with periodontal status of down syndrome patients: a cross-sectional study.
Clin Oral Investig
June 2024
Objective: To evaluate cytokine levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-17a, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interferon (IFN)-γ in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of periodontal sites in individuals with Down syndrome (DS) and analyze their relationship with clinical periodontal parameters.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 49 DS patients and 32 individuals without DS (non-DS group). Periodontal probing depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BoP), and visible plaque index (VPI) were evaluated.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed how sugary drink consumption during pregnancy and maternal BMI influence a child's early sugar exposure and BMI in their second year of life.
- Utilizing the BRISA cohort from São Luís, Brazil, researchers created a theoretical model to assess various prenatal factors and their impact on children's sugar intake and BMI.
- Results indicated that higher maternal BMI and increased sugary drink consumption during pregnancy led to a greater percentage of daily calories from added sugars for the child, highlighting the link between maternal diet and early childhood dietary habits.
The number of days of data required to accurately estimate usual nutrient intake of children is not well established. This study aims to calculate the variability and the number of days required to estimate usual nutrient intake in children aged 13-32 months. This cross-sectional study, which is part of the BRISA Project in São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, involved 231 children from April 2011 to January 2013.
