Prediction of oral diseases in care dependent older people.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Department of Odontology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Nørre Allé 20, Copenhagen, 2200, Denmark.

Background: A large number of older people depend on others for help with their daily personal care, including oral health care. Nursing home and elder-care staff often face challenges identifying older people, who are exposed to or at an increased risk of oral diseases. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify risk factors that non-dental care staff can use to identify older people at risk of oral diseases and poor oral hygiene.

Novel Insights from Comprehensive Bioinformatics Analysis Utilizing Large-Scale Human Transcriptomes and Experimental Validation: The Role of Autophagy in Periodontitis.

J Inflamm Res

December 2024

School of Stomatology, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Jiangxi Provincial Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases, Jiangxi Provincial Clinical Research Center for Oral Disease, Nanchang, Jiangxi, People's Republic of China.

Objective: Autophagy plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of periodontitis, yet its precise involvement in the disease process remains elusive. The aim of the present study was thus to investigate the involvement of autophagy in the pathology of periodontitis. This investigation involved transcriptomic analysis of a broad range of human samples and complemented by in vitro experimentation.

Background: There is an ongoing controversy regarding the expression of vitamin D receptor (VDR) and binding protein (VDBP) genes, as well as their polymorphisms, in periodontitis. We examined eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and performed a transcriptome-level bioinformatics analysis to clarify their relationship with periodontitis.

Methods: To explore VDR and VDBP polymorphisms, 600 subjects were included, including 307 patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) and 293 healthy controls.

An Integrated Dual-Layer Heterogeneous Polycaprolactone Scaffold Promotes Oral Mucosal Wound Healing through Inhibiting Bacterial Adhesion and Mediating HGF-1 Behavior.

Research (Wash D C)

October 2024

Stomatology Hospital, School of Stomatology, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Zhejiang Provincial Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedical Research of Zhejiang Province, Cancer Center of Zhejiang University, Engineering Research Center of Oral Biomaterials and Devices of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou 310000, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on a dual-layer polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold designed to enhance soft tissue repair in oral mucosal defects.
  • The scaffolds feature different fiber patterns (parallel, rhombic, square) and showed improved properties like surface wettability and tensile strength compared to disordered scaffolds.
  • Notably, the square-patterned scaffold promoted cell differentiation and accelerated wound healing, suggesting strong potential for clinical applications in a bacteria-prone oral environment.
