Abstract: It has been shown by previous studies that mandibular growth can be enhanced by the systemic administration of recombinant growth hormone (rGH) and/or local application of therapeutic low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS). The purpose of this study was to determine if local injection of rGH and application of LIPUS to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) would synergistically enhance mandibular growth. In an animal study, the effect of rGH, LIPUS, and combination of rGH and LIPUS on male Sprague–Dawley rats was observed. Mandibular growth was evaluated by measuring total hemimandibular and condylar bone volume and bone surface area as well as condylar bone mineral density (BMD) after 21 days on dissected rats’ mandibles using micro-computed tomography (MicroCT). The expression…

Conclusions: Bacterial-unstimulated m-MDDC from CP exhibited a more immature phenotype but a cytokine profile biased towards proinflammatory response; this pattern was maintained/exacerbated after bacterial stimulation. P. intermedia upregulated co-stimulatory molecules and IFN-gamma expression in CP m-MDDC. These events might contribute to periodontitis pathogenesis. (Source: Archives of Oral Biology)

Abstract: Objective: Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine whose genetic polymorphisms are associated with the production of IL-10 and the susceptibility to periodontal diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association of IL-10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and cyclosporin A (CsA)-induced gingival overgrowth (GO) in renal transplant patients in a Chinese population, taking into account subgingival microbiota as additional variables.Material and methods: A total of 202 patients were dichotomized into two groups: 122 with GO and 80 without GO. The IL-10-1082 SNP, -819 SNP and -592 SNP were measured using an allele-specific PCR method. The levels of subgingival bacteria were measured by real-time PCR. Genotype and allele frequencies were an…
