Aim: Bone remodelling can be followed through the bone turnover markers (BTMs). Aim of the present study was to record the fluctuation of an osteoclastic and an osteoblastic BTM [C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) and N-terminal pro-peptide of type I pro-collagen (PINP), respectively] in both the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and the serum of orthodontic patients before and after the initial application of orthodontic forces.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-one Caucasian patients were prospectively evaluated. GCF and blood samples were collected in order to measure the selected biomarkers by ELISA at three time-points: exactly before, 5 days, and 14 days after bonding of the appliances. Standardized sample handling and patient preparation procedures were adopted in order to reduce pre-analytical variability.

Results: GCF and serum CTX levels were found to be independent of age, although higher in the serum of female subjects. PINP levels were found higher in the serum of patients ≥25 years old, as well as in the GCF of males. A positive correlation between serum and GCF baseline PINP levels was observed.

Limitations: The effect of orthodontic treatment on bone remodelling might not be absolutely representative of the local bone microenvironment as the levels of the specific BTMs where measured within the GCF of the lower front teeth.

Conclusions: This is the first time PINP and CTX have been evaluated in the GCF and serum of orthodontic patients with fixed appliances. No statistically significant alterations of CTX and PINP levels in the GCF and the serum of patients were recorded over time during the initial stages of orthodontic treatment.

Background: There is an increasing occurrence of periodontitis and metabolic syndrome (MetS), which is resulting in a decline in the overall quality of life. Both disorders can occur together since they are both linked to insulin resistance and systemic inflammation. However, evidence for a role of interleukin (IL)-20 in this comorbidity is very limited.

Objective: Annexin-1 (ANXA1), a member of the annexin family, plays a role in the resolution of inflammation and the regulation of anti-inflammatory responses, while annexin-2 (ANXA2) is involved in the initiation of the inflammatory responses. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of annexin family (ANXA1 and ANXA2) in periodontal disease.

Methods: Healthy participants (n:25) and stage III, grade B periodontitis (n:25) patients enrolled for this study.

Aim: To analyse whether some selected inflammatory biomarkers collected from venous blood and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were associated with the outcome of non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Materials And Methods: Two-hundred and nine patients affected by periodontitis were enrolled in the study, who had undergone steps I and II therapy as well as a non-surgical re-instrumentation (NSRI) of periodontal pockets after 6 months. Serum (SE), plasma (PL) and GCF samples were quantitatively analysed for the following inflammatory biomarkers: active matrix metalloproteinase-8 (aMMP-8), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and surfactant protein D (SP-D).

Care Quality and Outcomes of Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Premorbid Dementia: Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Registry.

Stroke

December 2024

Calgary Stroke Program, Departments of Clinical Neurosciences and Community Health Sciences, the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, and the O'Brien Institute for Public Health, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada (E.E.S.).

Background: Patients with premorbid dementia have been generally excluded from trials of stroke therapies, and their dementia diagnosis may affect the care received. There are few data on the quality of stroke care and outcomes in these patients.

Methods: We compared the quality of care and outcomes for acute ischemic stroke patients with versus without premorbid dementia using national data from the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke registry between July 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021.

Background: The aim of this study is to look into the clinical and biochemical outcomes of DK supplementation in addition to nonsurgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) for patients suffering from diabetes mellitus (DM) and periodontitis.

Methods: Thirty-eight participants with DM and periodontitis were randomized into two different groups. The test group provided NSPT with DK whereas the control group received NSPT with placebo.
