Periodontitis in patients with severe erectile dysfunction undergoing penile prosthesis implantation: Clinical and immunohistochemical study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The relationship between periodontitis and erectile dysfunction (ED) has been poorly documented in Caucasian populations, particularly severe ED (SED) requiring penile prostheses. This study aimed to evaluate the association between periodontitis and SED in patients undergoing penile prosthesis implantation, and to identify clinical

Dose‐dependent association of systemic comorbidities with periodontitis severity: A large population cross‐sectional study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To examine whether the associations between periodontitis and multiple systemic conditions increase with increasing severity of periodontitis using a multi‐center electronic health record (EHR) repository. Methods A cross‐sectional analysis was conducted using EHR data from 9 dental schools in the United States.

Diagnostic modulation of subgingival proteomic biomarkers by age and smoking habits in periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although age and smoking influence the periodontal proteome, their impact on subgingival biomarkers for diagnosing periodontitis remains unclear. This multicenter study assessed their influence on subgingival proteins for disease detection.

Return to baseline arsenic concentrations after 1 year on gluten‐free diet in children with celiac disease: A prospective cohort study

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Lifelong adherence to a gluten‐free diet (GFD) is the primary treatment for celiac disease (CeD). Concerns have been raised about increased exposure to contaminants in a GFD because rice, which naturally bioaccumulates arsenic and other environmental contaminants, is commonly used as a substitute for gluten.

Oxymatrine Inhibits Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition to Alleviate Airway Remodeling in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by Suppressing the TGF‐β1/Smad Pathway

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the therapeutic efficacy of oxymatrine (OMT, C15H24N2O2) in a murine model of cigarette smoke (CS)‐induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and elucidated its underlying mechanisms. A COPD model was established in mice through prolonged exposure to CS, followed by intraperitoneal administration of OMT (50 mg/kg)

Prognostic Value of the C‐PLAN Index in Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients Treated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the prognostic value of the C‐PLAN index in advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. A retrospective analysis of 241 eligible patients treated during February 2020 to January 2023 was conducted.

Association Between Body Mass Index and Depression/Anxiety in an East Asian Population: A Mendelian Randomization Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity and psychiatric disorders are the leading causes of global morbidity. Epidemiological studies suggest a bidirectional link between higher body mass index (BMI) and mental health outcomes, but the direction of causality remains uncertain due to confounding and reverse causation. We performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using

PDCD5 Contributes to Airway Epithelial Cell Damage via Mitochondrial Pathway and Participates in COPD Pathogenesis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Airway epithelial injury plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in this injury, while the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. RNA sequencing was conducted to identify key genes involved in mitochondrial dysfunction in airway epithelial

Adolescence risk factors for meniscus and ligamentous knee injuries in adulthood: A longitudinal study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Our aim is to investigate the influence of adolescent health‐related behaviours on the occurrence of meniscus and ligament injuries in a large cohort of Finnish adolescents with an average 27‐year follow‐up. Methods The baseline data were surveys conducted biannually from 1981 to 1997, and these were individually linked to outcomes, as
