Purpose: This systematic review was performed to assess the potential influence of medication-induced salivary changes on the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).

Methods: An electronic search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Embase databases for articles published up to June 2023. A risk of bias assessment was performed according to the modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Due to the heterogeneity of the selected studies in relation to the type of medications and outcomes evaluated, a meta-analysis could not be performed.

Results: The initial search revealed 765 studies. Only 10 articles were found to be eligible based on the inclusion criteria that reported on the impact of salivary changes on MRONJ following the administration of different medications. A total of 272 cases of MRONJ (35% women, 32% men, and 32% with no gender reported) with a mean age of 66 years at the time of diagnosis were included. Patients administered with bisphosphonates, steroids, chemotherapy, thalidomide, interferon, and hormone therapy had a significantly higher association between decreased salivary flow and MRONJ occurrence. In addition, bisphosphonates, denosumab, and other bone-modifying agents showed a significantly higher risk of developing MRONJ owing to the changes in salivary microbiome profiles, cytokine profiles, interleukins, hypotaurine, and binding proteins.

Conclusion: The reduction in salivary flow and changes in the concentration of salivary proteins were associated with the development of MRONJ. However, due to the availability of limited evidence, the findings of the review should be interpreted with caution.

is used as an experimental animal model for the study of three-host ticks due to its special life cycle and easy maintenance in the laboratory and in its reproduction. The life cycle of goes through a tightly regulated life cycle to adapt to the changing host and environment, and these stages of transition are also accompanied by proteome changes in the body. Here, we used the isobaric tags for a relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) technique to systematically describe and analyze the dynamic expression of the protein and the molecular basis of the proteome of in seven differential developmental stages (eggs, unfed larvae, engorged larvae, unfed nymphs, engorged nymphs unfed adults, and engorged adults).

The present pilot study examined effectiveness of a 2-week footbathing intervention on physiological, endocrine, and psychological status in healthy Japanese university students. A total of 51 participants were randomly assigned to a footbathing or normal bathing group. Participants in both groups provided daily free descriptions of their physical and mental states during the intervention period.

Background: Male professional soccer players frequently compete in multiple matches weekly, and each match significantly impacts their homeostasis, health, and performance. This study evaluates players response at 48 h post-match by combining biological and GPS data. Investigating biochemical and performance metrics offers insights into the physical demands of high-intensity exercise, essential for optimizing performance, recovery, and overall athlete health.

Diabetes is a disorder attributed to impaired production or utilization of insulin and requires rapid precise monitoring of glucose levels. The fabrication of nanotechnology-based non-invasive biosensors for glucose detection holds significant promise for improved diabetes care and point-of-care diagnostics. The study demonstrates a novel molecularly imprinted polymers (ADMIPs) based sensitive biosensor for glucose estimation in saliva using three distinct sensing platforms -cotton swab, paper strip and polymeric film by colorimetric assay.

Since the biological activities and toxicities of 'foreign' and/or excess levels of metal ions are predominantly determined by their precise molecular nature, here we have employed high-resolution H NMR analysis to explore the 'speciation' of paramagnetic Ni(II) ions in human saliva, a potentially rich source of biomolecular Ni(II)-complexants/chelators. These studies are of relevance to the corrosion of nickel-containing metal alloy dental prostheses (NiC-MADPs) in addition to the dietary or adverse toxicological intake of Ni(II) ions by humans. Unstimulated whole-mouth human saliva samples were obtained from n = 12 pre-fasted (≥8 h) healthy participants, and clear whole-mouth salivary supernatants (WMSSs) were obtained from these via centrifugation.
