Estimation of salivary neopterin in chronic periodontitis

Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2014
Periodontal diseases are the most common bacterial infection predominantly associated with Gram-negative microorganisms that exist in the subgingival biofilm. Analysis of saliva provides a noninvasive means of evaluating the role of the host response in periodontal disease.

Extracellular Vesicles in Calcium Oxalate Nephrolithiasis: Emerging Biomarkers and Therapeutic Potential

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Kidney stones cause significant pain and healthcare costs. Current prediction, diagnosis, and treatment options are limited. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), rich in proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, offer a promising solution. This review explores the roles of EVs in kidney stone management, highlighting their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic ...

Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of HSK31858, a novel oral dipeptidyl peptidase‐1 inhibitor, in healthy volunteers: An integrated phase 1, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, single‐ and multiple‐ascending dose study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Dipeptidyl peptidase‐1 (DPP‐1) inhibitors have been studied for the treatment of neutrophil‐mediated inflammatory diseases including bronchiectasis, bronchial asthma and cystic fibrosis. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety and tolerability of DPP‐1 inhibitor HSK31858 in healthy Chinese volunteers.

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

Polymicrobial periodontal disease triggers a wide radius of effect and unique virome. [PDF]

, 2020
Periodontal disease is a microbially-mediated inflammatory disease of tooth-supporting tissues that leads to bone and tissue loss around teeth. Although bacterially-mediated mechanisms of alveolar bone destruction have been widely studied, the effects of
