The gingival crevicular fluid was collected to measure the contents of inflammation indexes and alveolar bone resorption indexes.Results:ICAM1, HMGB1, IL-17, YKL40, CXCL16, NTX, CTX, RANKL, MMP9 and EA contents in gingival crevicular fluid of periodontitis group A and periodontitis group B were significantly higher than those of control group while PICP, PIIICP, OPG and Runx2 contents were significantly lower than those of control group;ICAM1, HMGB1, IL-17, YKL40, CXCL16, NTX, CTX, RANKL, MMP9 and EA contents in gingival crevicular fluid of periodontitis group A were significantly higher than periodontitis group B while PICP, PIIICP, OPG and Runx2 contents were significantly lower than those of periodontitis group B.Conclusion:Smoking can aggravate the periodontal tissue inflammation and promote the alveolar bone resorption in patients with chronic periodontitis.展开更多

We recently experienced a case of temporal fossa abscess caused by periapical periodontitis the upper left side of the second molar. A 79-year-old woman visited to Showa University Dental Hospital complaining of the painful swelling at the left side of the temporal and trismus. The routine blood test exhibited a severe inflammation. We performed drainage treatment at temporal skin and normal oral bacterial flora was detected by the bacteriological examination. Under treatment included the administration of antibiotics, the inflammation healed without serious complication and she recovered completely.展开更多

Methods: Patients with chronic periodontitis who underwent tooth extraction in Jianghan Oilfield General Hospital between March 2015 and December 2015 were selected as the periodontitis group of the research, and patients who underwent tooth extraction due to impacted tooth or malposed tooth during the same period were selected as the control group. Appropriate amount of periodontal tissue was collected during tooth extraction to determine the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome components;gingival crevicular fluid samples were collected before tooth extraction to determine the contents of inflammatory response molecules and alveolar bone resorption molecules. Results: NLRP3, ACS, Caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 mRNA expression in periodontium tissue as well as ICAM-1, E-selectin, CXCL12, HMGB1, HSP60, ICTP, MMP1, MMP8 and Wnt5a levels in gingival crevicular fluid of periodontitis group were significantly higher than those of control group whereas TIMP1, BMAL1 and Runx2 levels in gingival crevicular fluid were lower than those of control group;NLRP3, ACS, Caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 mRNA expression in periodontium tissue of patients with periodontitis were positively correlated with ICAM-1, E-selectin, CXCL12, HMGB1, HSP60, ICTP, MMP1, MMP8 and Wnt5a levels in gingival crevicular fluid, and negatively correlated with TIMP1, BMAL1 and Runx2 levels in gingival crevicular fluid. Conclusion: The excessive expression of NLRP3 inflammasome in periodontitis tissue can aggravate the inflammatory response and alveolar bone resorption.展开更多
