forsythia koreana/hemorrhage

Phillyrin (Phil) is one of the main chemical constituents of Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.), which has shown to be an important traditional Chinese medicine. We tested the hypothesis that Phil modulates pulmonary inflammation in an ALI model induced by LPS. Male BALB/c mice were pretreated with or

BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence suggests that acute and chronic infections with periodontopathogens are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study was to assess whether Tanerella forsythia and Porphyromonas gingivalis are associated with increased

A proportion of diseased sites in periodontal disease do not respond to the initial treatment, which might be due in part to the presence of specific microbial pathogens. The aim of this study was to clarify the value of microbial screening for predicting the outcome of periodontal treatment in

OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to clarify the lysine-specific proteolytic activity derived from periodontal pathogens responsible for Forsythia detaching factor (FDF) modification. METHODS The activity responsible for FDF modification in Tannerella forsythia and Porphyromonas

BACKGROUND Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia (previously T. forsythensis), which are regarded as the principal periodontopathogenic bacteria, exist as a consortium in subgingival biofilms. We aimed to examine quantitative relationships between P. gingivalis, T.

BACKGROUND Information on the subgingival microbiota in parous women is limited. The present study assessed 74 bacterial species at periodontal sites. METHODS Subgingival bacterial plaque was collected from women > or =6 months after delivery. Bacteria were assessed by the checkerboard DNA-DNA

OBJECTIVE To determine if there were differences in periodontal status and the composition of the subgingival microbiota in individuals who exhibited different body mass indices (BMI). METHODS One hundred and twenty-one periodontally healthy/gingivitis and 574 chronic periodontitis subjects had
