Aim: Assessment of the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy (SRP) on serum inflammatory parameters in patients with untreated aggressive (AgP) and chronic (ChP) periodontitis.
Methods: Overall, 31 ChP and 29 AgP were examined clinically prior to and 12 weeks after SRP (subgingival scaling of all pockets within 2 days) with systemic antibiotics for patients positive for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (14 AgP, 9 ChP). Blood was sampled prior to, one day, 6, and 12 weeks after the first SRP visit. Serum elastase, C-reactive protein (CRP), lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), interleukin (IL) 6, 8, and leukocyte counts were assessed.
Results: At baseline, serum elastase, CRP, and LBP were significantly (p < 0.01) higher in AgP than ChP. Serum elastase, CRP, LBP, and IL-6 were significantly (p < 0.001) elevated one day after scaling in both groups. Both groups showed significant clinical improvement (p < 0.001). A significant difference was observed regarding change of serum elastase 12 weeks after SRP between AgP and ChP (p = 0.015). Multiple regression analysis revealed AgP, African origin, and bleeding on probing to be associated with more pronounced elastase reduction. CRP reduction was associated with African origin, systemic antibiotics, and baseline probing pocket depth.
Conclusion: SRP results in serum elastase reduction in AgP but not in ChP.

Notably, the C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 12/C-X-C Chemokine Receptor Type 4 (CXCL12/CXCR4) signalling pathway's activation is markedly increased in a mouse model of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Nonetheless, the precise contribution of this pathway to AAA development remains to be elucidated. The AAA mouse model was induced by local incubation with elastase and oral administration of β-aminopropionitrile.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a history of thousands of years in China. The Tongfeng Qingxiao Formula (TFQXF), after decoction and oral administration, has shown significant therapeutic effects on Gouty arthritis (GA). TCM is often considered an experiential medicine, lacking modern scientific research, and the efficacy of TFQXF faces the same issue.

Background: Corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) modulates tissue cortisol availability via modification of cortisol:CBG binding affinity in response to multiple factors, including neutrophil elastase (NE) cleavage of the reactive centre loop (RCL), converting high affinity CBG (haCBG) to low affinity CBG (laCBG). In vitro, glycosylation of the RCL at Asn347 affects NE cleavage susceptibility. To date, no direct measurement of laCBG, which would verify NE cleavage, has been reported.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on identifying salivary proteins as potential biomarkers for primary Sjögren's disease (pSjD) to create a non-invasive prediction model.
- Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used on saliva samples to find proteins associated with immune processes, highlighting specific proteins such as CFB, CLU, and NE as independent predictors of pSjD.
- The proposed model combining these biomarkers with serum autoantibodies and Schirmer's test showed high accuracy, with a sensitivity of 84.85% and specificity of 92.45%, suggesting it could serve as a valuable non-invasive tool for pSjD classification.

BG is a novel bioactive peptide derived from bitter gourd (), known for its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. In the present study, our objective is to investigate the functional roles and mechanisms of BG in the context of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A rat model of adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) was established by administering complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA).
