The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between bacteria-induced butyric acid and periodontal disease progression.

Normal human gingival fibroblasts were exposed to butyric acid (0, 1, 5, 10, and 15 mM) adjusted to a pH of 7.2-7.4 using sodium hydroxide for 0-96 h and cell viability was evaluated. In addition, the effects of butyric acid on the production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in gingival fibroblasts were analyzed by real-time RT-PCR, ELISA, western blotting, and stromelysin zymography.

Butyric acid reduced the viability of gingival fibroblasts in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, butyric acid promoted production of MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-10 in gingival fibroblasts and suppressed TIMP-2 protein production.

Butyric acid promoted overproduction of MMPs, resulting in a disruption of the balance between MMPs and TIMPs expression in gingival fibroblasts. Our study suggests that the butyric acid produced by causative bacteria stimulates excessive MMP expression in periodontal tissue, leading to destruction of the tissue.

This systematic review evaluated the effect of phytotherapeutics in the treatment and prevention of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced oral mucositis (OM) in animal models.

A search was performed in PubMed/Medline, CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library), EMBASE, and Web of Science, including studies published up to January 2020. Only articles investigating the chemoinduction of OM by 5-FU in animal models were included. Eligibility was evaluated and data were extracted from the eligible studies following the predefined PICO questions. The Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias Assessment tool was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies.

A total of 503 articles were retrieved and 13 were included. The hamster was the animal model used in all included studies. The treatment method ranged from the topical application of ointment (n = 3), gel (n = 5) and extract (n = 3) to the oral ingestion of the phytotherapeutics (n = 3). Chamomilla recutita L. (n = 3) and Pistacia atlantica (n = 3) were the most used therapeutic agents. Although all studies were classified as high risk of bias, all of them reported promising results regarding the use of phytotherapeutics in the management of OM, including lower clinical and histopathological scores as well as healing, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities.

Despite the high risk of bias of the studies, phytotherapy is a promising alternative for the treatment of 5-FU-induced OM, showing interesting results in terms of tissue healing and anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant activity.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether +15 dB signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), often recommended for optimal speech perception in children, elicit higher amplitude CAEPs than more realistic SNRs encountered by children during their daily lives (+10 dB SNR). Moreover, we aimed to investigate whether cortical speech categorization is observable in children in quiet and in noise and whether CAEPs to speech in noise are related to behavioral speech perception in noise performance in children. CAEPs were measured during a passive speech-syllable task in 51 normal hearing children aged 8 to 11 years. The speech syllables /da/ and /ga/ were presented in quiet and in the presence of a 4-talker-babble noise at +15 dB and +10 dB SNR. N1 latencies and P2 amplitudes and latencies varied as a function of SNR, with poorer SNRs (+10 dB) eliciting significantly smaller P2 amplitudes and delayed N1 and P2 latencies relative to the higher SNR (+15 dB). Finally, speech categorization was present at the cortical level in this group of children in quiet and at both SNRs; however, N1 and P2 amplitudes and latencies were not related to behavioral speech-in-noise perception of children.
Explore how the introduction of 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrates (4F-PCC) protocols for reversing anticoagulation and the treatment of critical bleeding influenced blood product utilization.

A retrospective analysis of the utilization rate of plasma and 4F-PCC from September 2012 through December 2018.

Blood bank and pharmacy records of a single large tertiary care medical center.

Admitted patients except obstetric during the study period (n=283,319).

Five institutional protocols providing guidelines for 4F-PCC administration were deployed over a 3-year period.

The utilization rate of plasma and 4F-PCC was the primary outcome and analyzed using an interrupted time series analysis. see more Utilization of platelets and cryoprecipitate as well as the impact of the intervention on the service prescribing the blood products were evaluated as secondary outcomes. Data were evaluated using a segmented time series regression.

When adjusted for seasonality, the monthly rate of plasma administration was 2nstitutional protocols for the use of 4F-PCC to reverse the effects of anticoagulation and to treat critical bleeding with associated coagulopathy was associated with reduced plasma utilization.
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease with a variable clinical presentation and disease course. There is still no reliable biomarker available, which assists in the diagnosis or prediction of the clinical course. According to a murine model, the expression level of the metabolic checkpoint kinase mechanistic target of Rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in granulomas of sarcoidosis patients may be used as a clinical biomarker.

This is a retrospective analysis of 58 patients with histologically confirmed sarcoidosis. Immunohistochemical staining of granulomas from tissue samples was evaluated for the expression of activated mTORC1 signaling, including phosphorylated mTOR, its downstream effectors S6K1, 4EBP1 and the proliferation marker Ki-67. Patients were categorized according to different clinical phenotypes, serum biomarkers, and immunomodulatory therapy.

All patients showed activated mTORC1 signaling in granulomas, which correlated with its downstream effectors S6K1 and 4EBP1 but was not related to Ki-67 expression.
