Background— Results from studies relating periodontal disease to cardiovascular have been mixed. Residual confounding by smoking and use of clinical measures rather than infection 2 major criticisms. The aims this study were investigate relationships between prevalent coronary heart (CHD) exposures, (1) (2) IgG antibodies 17 oral organisms, evaluate the role in these relationships. Methods Results— Our is based on a subset participants Atherosclerosis Risk Communities (ARIC) Study, who...
Background: Few studies have examined the potential effects of periodontal treatment during pregnancy on outcomes, status, and inflammatory biomarkers. Methods: A randomized, delayed‐treatment, controlled pilot trial was conducted to evaluate second‐trimester scaling root planing use a sonic toothbrush rate preterm delivery (<37 weeks gestation). Secondary outcome measures included changes in levels eight oral pathogens, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β),...
Maternal oral infection, caused by bacteria such as C. rectus or P. gingivalis, has been implicated a potential source of placental and fetal infection inflammatory challenge, which increases the relative risk for pre-term delivery growth restriction. Intra-uterine restriction also reported in various animal models infected with organisms. Analyzing tissues growth-restricted mice, we found down-regulation imprinted Igf2 gene. Epigenetic modification genes via changes DNA methylation plays...
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies have shown a potential association between maternal periodontitis and pregnancy complications. We used pregnant murine model to study the effect of infection with periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis on outcomes. Female BALB/c mice were inoculated heat-killed P. (10 9 CFU) in subcutaneous chamber mated 2 weeks later. At gestation day (GD) 7.5, challenged live 7 ( n = 20) or broth (control; 8) sacrificed at GD 16.5. Fetal growth restriction (FGR,...
Few studies examining the association between periodontal diseases and preterm birth have explored underlying microbial antibody responses associated with oral infection.A nested case-control study was performed using data from a recent interventional trial following delayed-treatment control group of 31 subjects diseases. The levels eight bacteria maternal immunoglobulin G (IgG) in serum to these were measured at antepartum postpartum visits determine relationship cases (preterm delivery...
ABSTRACT Our previous animal studies showed that maternal Porphyromonas gingivalis infection in a subcutaneous chamber is associated with hepatic and uterine translocation, as well systemic induction of inflammatory responses, both which were fetal growth restriction (FGR). However, P. gingivalis- challenged dams had fetuses either FGR (2 standard deviations below mean weight nonchallenged dams) or normal weight. Therefore, the objective this study was to determine whether compromises...
Reproductive investment generally involves a trade-off between somatic growth and energy allocation for reproduction. Previous studies have inferred that jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas support during maturation through continuous feeding (an "income" source). However, our recent work suggests possible remobilization of soma (a "capital" We used fatty acids as biochemical indicators to investigate acquisition reproduction female D. gigas. compared the acid profiles ovary those mantle muscle...
Abstract To date, the predictive role of laboratory indicators for phenomenon no flow is unclear. Hence, our objective was to conduct a meta‐analysis investigate association between parameters and risk no‐reflow in patients with ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This, turn, aims offer valuable insights early clinical prediction no‐reflow. We searched Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library from establishment database October 2023....
Background: Recent studies have suggested that subclinical infection may be an important cause of low birth weight. Campylobacters are human pathogens, causing septicemia and occasionally abortion, premature labor, or severe perinatal infection. The potential role oral species Campylobacter in mediating adverse pregnancy outcomes animal models has not yet been determined. Our objective was to determine the effects rectus ( C. ) on a mouse model. Methods: On embryonic day (E) 7.5, pregnant...
Maternal periodontal infection has been associated with increased risk of prematurity and low birthweight. Infection inflammatory pathways that mediate have also implicated in neonatal developmental impairments. The objective this study was to determine whether maternal Campylobacter rectus induces fetal growth restriction a mouse model compromises pup survival, growth, neurodevelopment.Timed pregnant mice were challenged C. on gestation day 7.5. One group animals sacrificed embryonic 16.5...
Abstract Energy investment in reproduction and somatic growth was investigated for summer spawners of the Argentinean shortfin squid Illex argentinus southwest Atlantic Ocean. Sampled squids were examined morphometry intensity feeding behavior associated with reproductive maturation. Residuals generated from length‐weight relationships analyzed to determine patterns energy allocation between growth. Both females males showed similar rates increase eviscerated body mass digestive gland...
Feeding strategies of sympatric squid species help to understand their role in marine ecosystems. Four loliginid squids, Uroteuthis duvaucelii, edulis, chinensis, and Loliolus uyii are the major cephalopod coastal waters northern South China Sea, where they occur together. We investigated feeding terms foraging behavior habitat use by comparing fatty acid profiles spatial distributions. There were no significant differences proportions saturated or polyunsaturated acids among species....
