Published: January 2022

Background: The current study tested netrin-1 as a reliable inflammatory marker of periodontal disease.

Methods: Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples were taken at baseline from 30 systemically healthy individuals. Fifteen subjects had stage II grade A or B periodontitis, and 15 were periodontally and clinically healthy. Whole-mouth periodontal parameters [probing depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI)] were recorded. The GCF samples were re-collected, and clinical parameters were re-recorded after six weeks following full-mouth scaling and root planing (SRP) in the periodontitis group.

Results: Netrin-1 GCF levels were significantly lower in periodontitis patients than periodontally healthy individuals at baseline with a significant increase in netrin-1 GCF levels after SRP (<0.05).

Conclusion: Netrin-1 may have a significant role in the inflammatory process of chronic periodontitis; thus, it could be a promising anti-inflammatory marker in periodontal disease.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease worldwide, particularly among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Early detection and intervention are crucial in slowing the progression of DN and improving patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as the measurement of albuminuria and serum creatinine, often fail to detect early renal damage because structural kidney damage may occur before albumin excretion.

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) has a high risk of mortality in addition to serious neurological damage. In this study, we investigated the values of umbilical cord netrin-1 (NT-1) and neuron specific enolase (NSE) levels in the early diagnosis of HIE stage II/III induced by neonatal asphyxia. In the study group, infants with gestational age ≥ 36 weeks who were diagnosed with HIE II/III were included.

Purpose: This study aimed to combine plasma netrin-1 and clinical parameters to construct a diagnostic model for bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC).

Methods: We analyzed the independent diagnostic value of netrin-1 and the correlation with clinical symptom scores of BPS/IC. Clinical parameters were selected using LASSO regression, and a multivariate logistic regression model based on netrin-1 was established, and then a nomogram of BPS/IC prevalence was constructed.

Background: Bladder cancer is the most common urological malignancy with a high tendency for progression and recurrence. So far, no reliable diagnostic marker is present with 100% sensitivity and specificity. Netrins are related to laminin proteins, and were first discovered to be involved in neural development.
