The effect of non‐surgical periodontal treatment on progranulin levels

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to study the effect of non‐surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) on gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum progranulin (PGRN) levels in the early healing phases. Methods The study included periodontitis (test) (n = 24) and periodontal health (control) (n = 24) groups.

The characterization of preterm newborn saliva by top-down proteomic as a stimulus for the study of human development. A review of the results obtained over the past 25 years

Journal of Pediatric and Neonatal Individualized Medicine
Around the first years of 2000, our teams, at the Cagliari and Catholic-Policlinico Gemelli (Rome) Universities, started an investigation of the in­tact proteins of human saliva by a top-down pipeline.

Salivary Antimicrobial Peptides in Early Detection of Periodontitis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015
In the pathogenesis of periodontitis, an infection-induced inflammatory disease of the tooth-supporting tissues, there is a complex interaction between the subgingival microbiota and host tissues.

Dextran sodium sulfate confounds causal role of periodontitis in inflammatory bowel disease

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Emerging evidence supports a bidirectional link between periodontitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). To investigate this relationship, experimental models commonly use dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) to induce colitis. However, DSS is presumed to selectively affect the colon, and its potential off‐target effects on the oral ...

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.

Ocular facial myositis and sialadenitis presenting with new onset ulcerative colitis

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Extra‐intestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can involve most organ systems, although the immunologic underpinnings are not well understood. Most patients who present with an extra‐intestinal manifestation have a single site of extra‐intestinal involvement; however, a small cohort presents with multiple different sites ...

Can trigeminal sensations impact saltiness perception? A mini‐review

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Many food companies have begun to reduce the salt content in their products due to health concerns; however, this reduction in salt content can affect the food's sensory appeal and flavour complexity. Flavour is defined as a combination of odour (i.e., smell), taste (i.e., gustation) and trigeminal sensations (i.e., chemesthesis).
