RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Investigate the link between live dietary microbe consumption and the prevalence of periodontitis. METHODS AND MATERIALS: National health and nutrition examination survey (2009-2014) data was used to assess the association among adults. Live dietary microbe intake was categorized as low or medium to high. Regression models were employed to assess this association, adjusting for demographic variables and other covariates. Examined dose-response relationship and conducted subgroup analyses by ethnicity, age and gender. Multiplicative interactions were evaluated using likelihood ratio tests. RESULTS: The analysis included 8574 participants. After adjusting for various factors including age, gender, ethnicity, dietary habits, dietary inflammatory index, alcohol consumption, smoking status, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and oral health behaviors, individuals with daily intake of medium to high levels of live dietary microbes showed a significantly reduced risk of periodontitis compared to those who did not consume such microbes with a dose-response trend (p for trend <0.0001, p < 0.01). Significant differences in the impact of live microbe intake on periodontitis were also observed across different age groups in all Models (p for interaction ≤0.05). CONCLUSION: Medium to high live dietary microbe consumption independently correlates with lower periodontitis risk, irrespective of traditional risk factors and demographics.

RESUMO

Objective: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive treatment approach for precancerous and cancerous lesions, known for its ability to activate the host immune response. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis to identify the research trends and hotspots related to the immune response in PDT. Methods: We analyzed articles and reviews published from 1989 to 2023, retrieved from the Web of Science database. Using Citespace and VOSviewer, we visualized the distribution patterns of these studies in time and space. Results: The analysis revealed a substantial increase in the number of publications on PDT-related immune response since 1989. A total of 1,688 articles from 1,701 institutions were included in this analysis. Among thei nstitutions, the Chinese Academy of Sciences demonstrated exceptional productivity and a willingness to collaborate with others. Additionally, 8,567 authors contributed to the field, with Mladen Korbelik, Michael R. Hamblin, and Wei R. Chen being the most prolific contributors. The current research focus revolves around novel strategies to enhance antitumor immunity in PDT, including PDT-based dendritic cell vaccines, combination therapies with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), and the use of nanoparticles for photosensitizer delivery. Furthermore, genes such as CD8A, TNF, CD4, IFNG, CD274, IL6, IL10, CALR, HMGB1, and CTLA4 have been evaluated in the context of PDT-related immunity. Conclusion: PDT not only achieves tumor ablation but also stimulates the immune response, bolstering antitumor immunity. This study highlights the emerging hotspots in PDT-related immune response research and provides valuable insights for future investigations aimed at further enhancing antitumor immunity.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of microRNA-125a-5p (miR-125a-5p) in macrophages during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). DESIGN: Periodontal ligament tissues were collected from patients underwent OTM. Periodontal ligament cells were isolated from periodontal ligament tissues. Periodontal ligament stem cells were isolated from normal human impacted third molars. The miR-125-5p levels were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The impact of miR-125-5p on macrophage polarization was tested by alizarin red staining assay. The effects of miR-125-5p and E26 transformation-specific variant 6 gene (ETV6) on M1/M2 macrophages phenotype markers were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and flow cytometry analyses. The interaction between miR-125-5p and ETV6 was verified using luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. RESULTS: Periodontal miR-125a-5p was upregulated under the force. Macrophage polarization facilitated osteogenesis by cocultured system. Moreover, miR-125a-5p was upregulated in macrophages polarized with M2 conditions. MiR-125a-5p downregulation promoted the expression of M1 phenotype markers, while suppressed the expression of M2 markers. Mechanistically, ETV6 was confirmed to be a target of miR-125a-5p. ETV6 overexpression increased the expression of M1 polarized markers, while decreased the expression of M2 polarized markers. Furthermore, ETV6 knockdown reversed the effects of miR-125a-5p inhibitor on both M1 macrophages and M2 macrophages. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, miR-125a-5p facilitates bone healing by targeting ETV6 to promote macrophage M2 polarization.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a downregulated immune response. The mechanisms of the immune response, especially regarding immune-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), in periodontitis remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze the immune cell landscapes and immune-related transcriptome expression in periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The periodontitis-related microarray data set GSE16134 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Then, the proportions of the infiltrated immune cell subpopulations were evaluated by Cell-type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets Of RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT). Differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEMGs) and lncRNAs were analyzed by the "limma" package in R software. Co-expression of DEMGs and lncRNAs in immune cell subpopulations was evaluated. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to identify alterations in immune function through potential pathways. RESULTS: Increased numbers of plasma cells were observed in periodontitis-affected tissues versus those of healthy tissues, while T cells were downregulated. A total of 51 DEMGs were identified, and 12 immune-related signaling pathways were enriched by GSEA, most of which were related to the stimulation and function of B cells and T cells. Only 3 differentially upregulated lncRNAs (FAM30A, GUSBP11, and LINC00525) were screened for the regulation of the immune response. Besides, the level of lncRNAs (FAM30A, GUSBP11, and LINC00525) expression were positively correlated with the fraction of plasma cells in periodontitis. CONCLUSION: The discovery of differentially expressed immune-related transcriptomes in periodontitis lesions helps to explain the regulation of the immune mechanism in the development of periodontitis.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The relationship between periodontal disease (PD) and erectile dysfunction (ED) is still conflicting. AIM: To investigate whether a link between PD and ED exists, and if so, the degree to which it is significant. METHODS: The search strategy included using electronic databases and hand searching works published up to June 2018. MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASE, Proceedings Web of Science, and Current Contents Connect were searched by 2 independent reviewers. Case-control, cohort, or cross-sectional studies including patients with measures of periodontitis and ED were included in the analysis. Quality assessments and sensitivity analysis of selected studies were performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The strength of the association between PD and the prevalence of ED was evaluated. RESULTS: 5 case-control studies with 213,076 participants met the eligibility criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. Patients with PD were 2.85-fold more likely to be diagnosed with ED (OR = 2.85, 95% CI = [1.83, 4.46]). Asian men were reported to be 3.07 times more likely to be at greater risk for the prevalence of ED. Moreover, studies with high quality and case-control design showed 2 times higher risk for ED in PD (OR = 2.44, 95% CI = [1.44, 4.14]). However, the present evidence was not robust enough owing to the high heterogeneity and instability in sensitivity analysis. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Patients with PD may have increased risk of ED, suggesting that dental hygiene should be of concern to clinicians when managing patients with ED. STRENGTH & LIMITATIONS: This article includes a large literature search to confirm the evidence that PD increases the occurrence of ED. However, there are several confounders, such as age and the type of ED, that failed to be adjusted and that generate bias and affect the correlation between the incidence of ED and PD. CONCLUSION: This system review and meta-analysis strengthens the evidence that PD might have important clinical implications for risk stratification of ED. Zhou X, Cao F, Lin Z.

RESUMO

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a possible infectious component. Anemia of inflammation (AI) occurring in various chronic diseases alters the hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and iron status. Currently, the association between periodontitis and AI is still controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the alterations of the level of hematological parameters and iron metabolism markers in patients with or without periodontitis. Methods: Electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane) were searched to identify publications about anemia and periodontitis. Subgroup analyses regarding gender, extent of periodontitis, and sample size were performed using STATA 12.1. Results: Sixteen studies were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled results showed a decrease in Hb [standardized mean difference (SMD) = -0.76, 95% CI = (-1.15, -0.37)], red blood cell [SMD = -0.69, 95% CI = (-1.09, -0.29)], hematocrit [SMD = -1.13, 95% CI = (-1.69, -0.57)], mean corpuscular volume [SMD = -0.16, 95% CI = (-0.32, -0.01)], and mean corpuscular Hb [SMD = -0.16, 95% CI = (-0.28, -0.04)], but upregulation in erythrocyte sedimentation rate [SMD = 0.63, 95% CI = (0.06, 1.19)]. In addition, patients with periodontitis had a higher level of hepcidin [SMD = 0.59, CI = (0.05, 1.12)] and decreased level of transferrin [SMD = -4.6, CI = (-13.1, -3.90)], with high heterogeneity. Conclusion: This meta-analysis indicates that periodontitis decreases Hb concentration and disturbs the balance of iron metabolism, which confirms strength of association between periodontitis and the development tendency of AI, especially for severe periodontitis. More unbiased cohort studies with larger sample sizes are still warranted to make a definitive judgment in the future.
