AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between the cytokines IL-6 and IL-10 in saliva, obesity, and periodontal disease by comparing 20 obese individuals with gingivitis to 20 non-obese controls.
- Results showed that saliva IL-6 levels were significantly higher in obese subjects, along with negative correlations between IL-10 levels and gingival index (GI), especially in obese individuals.
- The findings suggest that obesity impacts periodontal health by changing IL-6 and IL-10 levels, highlighting a link between higher IL-6 in saliva and obesity, as well as the detrimental effects of lower IL-10 on gum health.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the association between cytokines IL-6 and IL-10 in saliva, obesity and periodontal disease.
Methods: The study was carried out in 40 subjects: 20 obese subjects with gingivitis and 20 non-obese subjects with gingivitis (controls). Periodontal parameters such as gingival index (GI) and plaque index (PI) of subjects were recorded. Saliva samples were used for measuring IL-6 and IL-10 levels by ELISA method.
Results: Saliva IL-6 levels were significantly higher in obese subjects than those of non-obese subjects (P= 0.002). When total groups were evaluated, negative significant correlation between GI and salivary IL-10 levels (r= -0.452, P= 0.003) and positive correlations between salivary IL-6 level and body mass index (BMI) (r= 0.369, P= 0.019) were found. There was a negative correlation between the GI and salivary IL-10 levels in obese subjects (r= -0.548, P= 0.012). Also there was a positive correlation between the salivary level of IL-6 and IL-10 in obese subjects (r= 0.594, P= 0.006).
Clinical Significance: Obesity and adipose tissues can affect periodontal health by altering the levels of IL-6 and IL-10. IL-6 in saliva clearly increased in subjects with obesity compared to subjects without obesity. Also negative correlations between saliva IL-10 levels and GI were found in the total group and obese subjects.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an extremely rare disorder in children. We report a nine-month-old girl with PG who presented with high-grade fever and rapidly progressive ulcers at the site of a Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) inoculation 2 months after the immunization. Additional small pustules developed on her hand and posterior neck three months after the immunization and rapidly progressed.

Cystitis glandularis (CG), known as a pre-gradual lesion in the bladder, is the pathological changes in the vesical mucosa characterized by inflammatory invasion and chronic obstruction. Clinically, effective treatment against CG is prescribed only when using drug therapy. Fucoidan, the naturally extractive polysaccharide, is well-reported bioactive compound with anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties.

This study investigated the impact of maternal high-fat diet on vascular function and endothelial homeostasis in offspring. We found that offspring exposed to maternal high-fat diet exhibited elevated blood pressure, impaired abdominal aortic vascular function, and endothelial homeostasis imbalance. These changes were accompanied by increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (including IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10).
