The Role of Viruses in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis
This narrative review aimed to summarize current evidence on the presence and potential pathogenic role of viruses in periodontitis. Design: Narrative Review; Population: Patients with periodontitis; Exposure: Detection of viruses in oral samples (biopsies, saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, subgingival plaque, blood); Outcome: Viral prevalence, load ...

An Investigation of the Steady-State Pharmacokinetics of Oral Valacyclovir in Immunocompromised Children [PDF]
Valacyclovir was administered to 28 immunocompromised children (ages 5-12 years) to obtain preliminary pharmacokinetic and safety information. Patients were randomized to valacyclovir regimens of 250 mg (9.4-13.3 mg/kg) or 500 mg (13.9-27.0 mg/kg) twice ...

ABSTRACT Background Oral lichen planus (OLP) and recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) are considered the most painful oral inflammatory diseases, with high global prevalence and significant impacts on patients' quality of life. In the last decades, researchers have been exploring mucoadhesive drug delivery systems (MDDS) to improve drugs safety and ...

A novel method to titrate Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) using laser-based scanning of near-infrared fluorophores conjugated antibodies [PDF]
Among several strategies used for Herpes simplex virus (HSV) detection in biological specimens, standard plaque assay (SPA) remains the most reliable method to evaluate virus infectivity and quantify viral replication.

Fatal Chronic Varicella‐Zoster Viral Infection in a Young Man With Chediak–Higashi Syndrome
ABSTRACT Chediak–Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a rare autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency characterized by partial oculocutaneous albinism, neurologic involvement, and a predisposition to severe infections. Patients are particularly susceptible to developing hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), which significantly worsens prognosis. We report

Transmembrane Transport of cAMP and AMP Using a Two Component Small Molecule Transport System
Transmembrane transport of the nucleotides cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) and AMP (adenosine monophosphate) is challenging, but can be achieved using a two‐component system consisting of a synthetic anionophore (e.g., squaramides) and a lipophilic thymine derivative.

This retrospective case series of acyclovir‐resistant HSV infection in pediatric patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT discusses the clinical course, associated complications, and treatment, including side effects. We propose the first algorithm for investigating and managing acyclovir‐resistant HSV infections in pediatric HSCT recipients, highlighting ...

Employing a PLGA-TPGS based nanoparticle to improve the ocular delivery of Acyclovir
Delivering drugs via the ocular route has always been a challenge for poorly soluble drugs. The various anatomical and physiological barriers in the eye cavity hinder the residence of drugs within the corneal and precorneal regions.

The Immune Response to Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Infection in Susceptible Mice is a Major Cause of CNS Pathology Resulting in Fatal Encephalitis [PDF]
This study was undertaken to investigate possible immune mechanisms in fatal HSV-1 encephalitis (HSE) after HSV-1 corneal inoculation. Susceptible 129S6 (129) but not resistant C57BL/6 (B6) mice developed intense focal inflammatory brainstem lesions of ...
