Polymorphisms in IL-1 gene have been suggested to influence transcription of IL-1α and IL-1B and thereby the pathophysiology of periodontitis. Using genotyping IL-1 test, a pilot study was conducted on 32 Syrian patients with aggressive periodontitis (AgP) and 35 healthy controls to investigate the association between the IL-1α(-889), IL-1B(+3953) gene polymorphisms and AgP among schoolchildren. The results revealed a similar distribution of genotypes between patients and controls, and did not support an association between IL-1 gene polymorphisms and AgP, however, the association was significant in male patients only. To determine and confirm any susceptible or resistant genes for AgP, future studies should use many target genes and well-defined related periodontal outcomes.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine particular single-nucleotide polymorphisms (IL-1A-889 C/T - rs1800587, IL-1B +3953 C/T - rs 1143634) of interleukins 1A and 1B in the development and prognosis of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Materials And Methods: DentiGen Parodontitis Tests were applied for collecting samples. This test is suitable for sampling oral mucosa cells in order to detect interleukins 1A and 1B single nucleotide polymorphisms (IL-1A-889, IL-1B+3953).

Parkinsonism is an age-related neurodegenerative illness that affects motor coordination leading to loss of dopaminergic neurons. Many medications are used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease but are only symptomatic and have a limited effect on the progression of this ailment. Therefore, bioactive compounds which derived from plants have been examined for their ability to improve the neuronal damage and cell death happened in parkinsonian patients.

Periodontitis is a chronic multifactorial inflammatory disease originating from microbial, environmental and genetic factors. The present study aimed to find an association of genetic polymorphisms at IL-1A and IL-1B loci in Polish patients with stage III grade B periodontitis and periodontally healthy subjects. Fifty patients with stage III grade B periodontitis (tests) and thirty-five periodontally healthy controls were included in the study.

Background And Objective: Interleukins (ILs), as important biochemical mediators, control the host response to inflammation and are associated with bone resorption. In the present meta-analysis, we investigated the association between polymorphisms and susceptibility to dental peri-implant disease (PID).

Materials And Methods: We searched Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and PubMed/Medline databases for studies published until 9 September2021, without any restrictions.

Non-bacterial prostatitis is an inflammatory disease that is difficult to treat. Oligonucleotide aptamers are well known for their stability and flexibility in conjugating various inflammatory molecules. In this study, we investigated the effects of inflammatory cytokine-targeting aptamers (ICTA), putative neutralizers of TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta activation, on local carrageenan-induced prostate inflammation, allodynia, and hyperalgesia in rats.
