ABSTRACT Introduction Apical periodontitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the periapical tissues driven by host responses to endodontic infection, and systemic metabolic disturbances, such as high‐fat diet (HFD)–induced dysmetabolism, may exacerbate tissue destruction. This study aimed to determine how chronic HFD exposure alters periapical myeloid

Heat shock protein 72 attenuates atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E‐deficient mice
Heat shock (HS) + mild electrical stimulation (MES)‐induced heat shock protein (HSP)72 expression prevents atherogenesis in HSP72+/+/ApoE−/− mice. HS + MES‐induced HSP72 expression reduces macrophage infiltration, oxidative stress, JNK activity, and MCP‐1 expression, and alters macrophage polarity from M1 to M2.

Liraglutide reverses hyperglycemia‐induced metabolic reprogramming in vascular smooth muscle cells, restoring mitochondrial function and AMPK/PGC‐1α signaling while suppressing mTOR activation and HIF‐1α accumulation. These changes attenuate extracellular matrix remodeling, reduce atherosclerotic plaque burden, and improve plaque stability in diabetic ...

Alteration of subgingival microbiome in patients with type 2 diabetes induced by diabetes treatment
ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction Diabetes and periodontal disease, a bacterial infection involving the oral microbiome, have a bidirectional relationship. However, the relationship between poor glycemic control and the oral microbiome remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the direct effect of intensive glycemic control on the oral microbiome ...

Cardiac structure and function in psoriasis: A cross‐sectional analysis of the PSOCADIA study
Individuals with well‐treated psoriasis exhibited a higher burden of myocardial dysfunction (GLS < 16%) compared with controls, independent of cardiometabolic comorbidity. The prevalence was similar across psoriasis severity, highlighting the importance of cardiovascular assessment in all patients with psoriasis. Abstract Background Psoriasis is linked
