RESUMO

With dental implant treatment becoming the gold standard, the need for effective bone augmentation prior to implantation has grown. This study aims to evaluate a bone augmentation strategy integrating three key growth factors: bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Collagen scaffolds incorporating BMP-2, IGF-1, or VEGF were fabricated and categorized into five groups based on their content: scaffold alone; BMP-2 alone (BMP-2); BMP-2 and IGF-1 (BI); BMP-2, IGF-1, and VEGF (BIV); and BMP-2 and IGF-1 with an earlier release of VEGF (BI + V). The prepared scaffolds were surgically implanted into the calvarias of C57BL/6JJcl mice, and hard tissue formation was assessed after 10 and 28 days through histological, tomographic, and biochemical analyses. The combination of BMP-2 and IGF-1 induced a greater volume of hard tissue augmentation compared with that of BMP-2 alone, regardless of VEGF supplementation, and these groups had increased levels of cartilage compared with others. The volume of hard tissue formation was greatest in the BIV group. In contrast, the BI + V group exhibited a hard tissue volume similar to that of the BI group. While VEGF and CD31 levels were highest in the BIV group at 10 days, there was no correlation at the same time point between hard tissue formation and the quantity of M2 macrophages. In conclusion, the simultaneous release of BMP-2, IGF-1, and VEGF proved to be effective in promoting bone augmentation.

RESUMO

Most reports on duplicate dentures are introduction to fabrication methods or clinical case reports. Only a few studies have verified their clinical effectiveness; hence, evidence to construct useful clinical guidelines for duplicate denture use is lacking. This review aimed to comprehensively investigate reports on duplicate dentures to accumulate evidences that will contribute to the formulation of clinical practice guidelines. Duplicate dentures are effectively used for impression making and bite registration when fabricating new dentures, thereby reducing the number of clinic visits and treatment time. Duplicate denture can also be used as temporary or new dentures. Older people in whom various adaptive abilities have declined, may find it difficult to adjust to new dentures and experience stress, even if the shape is appropriate. Duplicate dentures, which reproduces the shape of old dentures that they are used to, have the advantage of being more familiar to older people and less stressful. When manufacturing duplicate dentures, digital methods such as milling and three-dimensional printing are superior to conventional methods regarding working time and cost. A notable advantage of the digital method is that the denture shape can be saved as digital data, and the denture can be easily duplicated if lost.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Alveolar osteitis (dry sockets) is a painful condition characterized by a limited immune response. It is typically caused by the removal of blood clots from extracted tooth sockets, which leads to the fermentation of trapped food remnants by oral bacteria in the cavities, producing high concentrations of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). This study examined the effects of SCFAs on immunity and bone metabolism. METHODS: Mouse macrophage Raw264.7 cells were treated with oral bacteria supernatants or SCFA mixtures, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) levels were determined by western blot. The same cells were treated with SCFA mixtures in the presence of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL), and osteoclast-like cells were counted. MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with SCFA mixtures and stained with alizarin red S. RESULTS: Raw264.7 cells treated with oral bacterial culture supernatants of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced iNOS production, likely due to SCFA content. SCFA mixtures mimicking these supernatants inhibited the number of RANKL-induced tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive cells and MC3T3-E1 cell mineralization. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that SCFAs produced by P. gingivalis and F. nucleatum may reduce the inflammatory response and mildly induce mineralization of the alveolar walls. These results may contribute to the understanding of alveolar osteitis.

RESUMO

Autophagy is a cellular mechanism that utilizes lysosomes to degrade its own components and is performed using Atg5 and other molecules originating from the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. On the other hand, we identified an alternative type of autophagy, namely, Golgi membrane-associated degradation (GOMED), which also utilizes lysosomes to degrade its own components, but does not use Atg5 originating from the Golgi membranes. The GOMED pathway involves Ulk1, Wipi3, Rab9, and other molecules, and plays crucial roles in a wide range of biological phenomena, such as the regulation of insulin secretion and neuronal maintenance. We here describe the overview of GOMED, methods to detect autophagy and GOMED, and to distinguish GOMED from autophagy.

RESUMO

Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems are reported to be more physiologically similar to the in vivo state than 2-dimensional (2D) models, which are extensively employed in periodontal research. Herein, we developed a 3D gingival tissue model with both epithelial and lamina propria layers using human gingival epithelial Ca9-22 cells and primary gingival fibroblasts. The epithelial layer of the developed 3D gingival tissue culture was treated with butyrate, a metabolite of oral bacteria, and the treatment induced the release of damage-associated molecular patterns, such as DNA and Sin3A associated protein 130 kDa (SAP130). Taken together, butyrate exposure to the epithelium of 3D gingival epithelial-connective tissue hybrid systems could induce epithelial cell death and the subsequent release of damage-associated molecular patterns.

RESUMO

Objectives: The role of autophagy in pancreatic ß cells has been reported, but the relationship between autophagy and insulin metabolism is complex and is not fully understood yet. Design: We here analyze the relationship between autophagy and insulin metabolism from a morphological aspect. Methods: We observe the morphological changes of ß cell-specific Atg7-deficient mice and Atg5-deficient MIN6 cells with electron microscopy. Results: We find that Atg7-deficient ß cells exhibit a marked expansion of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We also find that the inhibitory state of insulin secretion causes morphological changes in the Golgi, including ministacking and swelling. The same morphological alterations are observed when insulin secretion is suppressed in Atg5-deficient MIN6 cells. Conclusions: The defect of autophagy induces ER expansion, and inhibition of insulin secretion induces Golgi swelling, probably via ER stress and Golgi stress, respectively.

RESUMO

Two oval sandwich type magnetic attachments set up in various angulations and spacing, then the pattern of retentive force against horizontal displacement studied. A measuring device and methodology that matches ISO 13017 was used. A pair of magnetic attachments fixed on the same plane at a specific distance on the measuring device and set in various angulations. Retentive force readings of magnetic attachments in various setup positions against the horizontal displacement along the major or minor axis directions were taken. The pattern of decline in retentive force as horizontal displacement increased was different across the various set-ups. It was found that the decrease in retentive forces associated with horizontal displacement can be suppressed when the angle between the major axis and the direction of movement is as small as possible. Formation of a 90° angle between major axes of any pair of magnetic attachments led to nullification of the decline in retentive forces associated with displacement in any direction. Therefore, 90° is the practical, ideal set-up angle between any pair of dental magnetic attachments critical for suppression of the loss in retentive force associated with horizontal gap.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Oral bacteria may contribute to postoperative infectious complications including postoperative pneumonia or surgical site infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of preoperative dental care on postoperative outcomes among surgical patients under general anesthesia. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: We analyzed clinical records of major surgical patients at a university hospital between 2016 and 2018. Subjects were categorized into either the preoperative dental care group, those being referred to dentists by their surgeons based on an individual surgeon's judgment for dental care before surgery, or the control group. METHODS: The primary outcome was postoperative infectious complications. Secondary outcomes were postoperative inflammation markers (C-reactive protein and fever), and economic outcomes (postoperative length of hospital stay and medical expenses). As the main analysis, the average treatment effects of the preoperative dental care were obtained from the augmented inverse-probability weighting (AIPW) method with consideration of demographics and perioperative risk factors to estimate causal effect of the intervention from the observational data. Then, stratified analyses by age and surgical sites were conducted with the inverse-probability weighting and linear regression methods, respectively. RESULTS: In the AIPW estimation, compared with the control group, the care group saw a significantly lower rate of postoperative infection (average treatment effect -3.02) and shorter fever duration (-2.79 days). The stratified analysis by age revealed significant positive impact of dental care in all age groups, including the highest treatment effects observed among patients younger than 60. Also, treatment effect was observed in wider surgical sites than previously known. CONCLUSION/IMPLICATIONS: This study indicates a significant impact of preoperative dental care on preventing postoperative infection and inflammation. Along with old age or certain types of surgeries in which advantages of dental referral have been already known, preoperative dental referral could be beneficial for broader types of patients.

RESUMO

As one of the great survivors of the plant kingdom, barnyard grasses (Echinochloa spp.) are the most noxious and common weeds in paddy ecosystems. Meanwhile, at least two Echinochloa species have been domesticated and cultivated as millets. In order to better understand the genomic forces driving the evolution of Echinochloa species toward weed and crop characteristics, we assemble genomes of three Echinochloa species (allohexaploid E. crus-galli and E. colona, and allotetraploid E. oryzicola) and re-sequence 737 accessions of barnyard grasses and millets from 16 rice-producing countries. Phylogenomic and comparative genomic analyses reveal the complex and reticulate evolution in the speciation of Echinochloa polyploids and provide evidence of constrained disease-related gene copy numbers in Echinochloa. A population-level investigation uncovers deep population differentiation for local adaptation, multiple target-site herbicide resistance mutations of barnyard grasses, and limited domestication of barnyard millets. Our results provide genomic insights into the dual roles of Echinochloa species as weeds and crops as well as essential resources for studying plant polyploidization, adaptation, precision weed control and millet improvements.

RESUMO

Binary Ti-Fe alloys of varying concentrations of Fe between 5-25% were made, and their castings evaluated in terms of microstructures formed and mechanical properties. The aim of this study was to explore the composition of Ti-Fe alloys that offers improved wear resistance of titanium. X-ray diffraction and microstructural observation revealed that 5-7% Fe, 8-15% Fe, and 20-25% Fe consisted of α+ß, single ß, and ß+Ti-Fe phases, respectively. The hardness of alloys with 8-13% Fe was almost equal to that of Co-Cr alloys but lower than of the other Ti-Fe alloys. Elongation of the Ti-Fe alloys was negligible. However, dimples were observed in specimen containing 7-11% Fe. Alloys with 9% Fe demonstrated the highest strength of more than 850 MPa. We believe that Ti-Fe alloys with 8-11% Fe may be applicable in development of an alloy with good wear resistance due to the exhibited properties of high hardness and ductility albeit low.

RESUMO

Binary Ti-Fe alloys with 5-25 mass% Fe were prepared, and subjected to reciprocating wear test. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between mechanical properties and the wear resistance of titanium and Ti-Fe alloys. The dimensions (length, width and depth) of wear marks on Ti-Fe alloys were less than those observed on pure Ti specimen. Wear resistance of Ti-Fe alloys was better than that of pure titanium. It was established that hardness was the main factor that influenced wear resistance of Ti-Fe alloys. Single ß Ti-Fe alloys showed better wear resistance than α+ß Ti-Fe alloys. Increase in concentration of Fe in the ß phase of Ti-Fe alloys leads to improved wear resistance of the alloy. Ti-Fe alloys with 11-15 mass% Fe form ideal candidates for fabrication of dental titanium alloys with excellent wear resistance.

RESUMO

Alternative autophagy is an Atg5/Atg7-independent type of autophagy that contributes to various physiological events. We here identify Wipi3 as a molecule essential for alternative autophagy, but which plays minor roles in canonical autophagy. Wipi3 binds to Golgi membranes and is required for the generation of isolation membranes. We establish neuron-specific Wipi3-deficient mice, which show behavioral defects, mainly as a result of cerebellar neuronal loss. The accumulation of iron and ceruloplasmin is also found in the neuronal cells. These abnormalities are suppressed by the expression of Dram1, which is another crucial molecule for alternative autophagy. Although Atg7-deficient mice show similar phenotypes to Wipi3-deficient mice, electron microscopic analysis shows that they have completely different subcellular morphologies, including the morphology of organelles. Furthermore, most Atg7/Wipi3 double-deficient mice are embryonic lethal, indicating that Wipi3 functions to maintain neuronal cells via mechanisms different from those of canonical autophagy.

RESUMO

Various clinical and experimental findings have revealed the causal relationship between autophagy failure and oncogenesis, and several mechanisms have been suggested to explain this relationship. We recently proposed two additional mechanisms: centrosome number dysregulation and the failure of autophagic cell death. Here, we detail the mechanical relationship between autophagy failure and oncogenesis.

RESUMO

Alternative autophagy is an autophagy-related protein 5 (Atg5)-independent type of macroautophagy. Unc51-like kinase 1 (Ulk1) is an essential initiator not only for Atg5-dependent canonical autophagy but also for alternative autophagy. However, the mechanism as to how Ulk1 differentially regulates both types of autophagy has remained unclear. In this study, we identify a phosphorylation site of Ulk1 at Ser746, which is phosphorylated during genotoxic stress-induced alternative autophagy. Phospho-Ulk1746 localizes exclusively on the Golgi and is required for alternative autophagy, but not canonical autophagy. We also identify receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) as the kinase responsible for genotoxic stress-induced Ulk1746 phosphorylation, because RIPK3 interacts with and phosphorylates Ulk1 at Ser746, and loss of RIPK3 abolishes Ulk1746 phosphorylation. These findings indicate that RIPK3-dependent Ulk1746 phosphorylation on the Golgi plays a pivotal role in genotoxic stress-induced alternative autophagy.

RESUMO

Autophagy is a cellular process that degrades intracellular components, including misfolded proteins and damaged organelles. Many neurodegenerative diseases are considered to progress via the accumulation of misfolded proteins and damaged organelles; therefore, autophagy functions in regulating disease severity. There are at least two types of autophagy (canonical autophagy and alternative autophagy), and canonical autophagy has been applied to therapeutic strategies against various types of neurodegenerative diseases. In contrast, the role of alternative autophagy has not yet been clarified, but it is speculated to be involved in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma have similar clinical features and are both exacerbated by airway infection. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether garenoxacin mesylate hydrate (GRNX) added to the standard care for bacterial infection-induced acute exacerbation of asthma or COPD in adults has clinical benefits. METHOD: This single-arm clinical trial was conducted from January 2015 to March 2016. Adults with a history of asthma or COPD for more than 12 months were recruited within 48 h of presentation with fever and acute deterioration of asthma or COPD requiring additional intervention. Participants were administered 400 mg GRNX daily for 7 days without additional systemic corticosteroids or other antibiotics. The primary outcome was efficacy of GRNX based on clinical symptoms and blood test results after 7 days of treatment. Secondary outcomes were: (1) comparison of the blood test results, radiograph findings, and bacterial culture surveillance before and after treatment; (2) effectiveness of GRNX after 3 days of administration; (3) analyzation of patient symptoms based on patient diary; and (4) continued effectiveness of GRNX on 14th day after the treatment (visit 3). RESULTS: The study included 44 febrile patients (34 asthma and 10 COPD). Frequently isolated bacteria included Moraxella catarrhalis (n = 6) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 4). On visit 2, 40 patients responded, and no severe adverse events were observed. All secondary outcomes showed favorable results. CONCLUSION: GRNX effectively treated asthma and COPD patients with acute bacterial infection without severe adverse events. Further research with a larger study population is needed.

RESUMO

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that degrades subcellular constituents. Mammalian cells undergo two types of autophagy; Atg5-dependent conventional autophagy and Atg5-independent alternative autophagy, and the molecules required for the latter type of autophagy are largely unknown. In this study, we analyzed the molecular mechanisms of genotoxic stress-induced alternative autophagy, and identified the essential role of p53 and damage-regulated autophagy modulator (Dram1). Dram1 was sufficient to induce alternative autophagy. In the mechanism of alternative autophagy, Dram1 functions in the closure of isolation membranes downstream of p53. These findings indicate that Dram1 plays a pivotal role in genotoxic stress-induced alternative autophagy.

RESUMO

Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) is a pernicious weed in agricultural fields worldwide. The molecular mechanisms underlying its success in the absence of human intervention are presently unknown. Here we report a draft genome sequence of the hexaploid species E. crus-galli, i.e., a 1.27 Gb assembly representing 90.7% of the predicted genome size. An extremely large repertoire of genes encoding cytochrome P450 monooxygenases and glutathione S-transferases associated with detoxification are found. Two gene clusters involved in the biosynthesis of an allelochemical 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA) and a phytoalexin momilactone A are found in the E. crus-galli genome, respectively. The allelochemical DIMBOA gene cluster is activated in response to co-cultivation with rice, while the phytoalexin momilactone A gene cluster specifically to infection by pathogenic Pyricularia oryzae. Our results provide a new understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the extreme adaptation of the weed.

RESUMO

ATG5 and ATG7 are considered to be essential molecules for the induction of autophagy. However, we found that cells lacking ATG5 or ATG7 can still form autophagosomes/autolysosomes and perform autophagic protein degradation when subjected to certain types of stress. Although the lipidation of LC3 is accepted as a good indicator of autophagy, this did not occur during ATG5/ATG7-independent alternative autophagy. Unlike conventional autophagy, autophagosomes appeared to be generated in a Rab9-dependent manner by the fusion of the phagophores with vesicles derived from the trans-Golgi and late endosomes. Therefore, mammalian autophagy can occur via at least two different pathways; the ATG5/ATG7-dependent conventional pathway and an ATG5/ATG7-independent alternative pathway.
