aggressive periodontitis/albumin

OBJECTIVE The association between periodontitis and systemic health is evident; however, until recently, there has been a lack of scientific evidence to define the relationship between aggressive periodontitis and systemic conditions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the changes in the

OBJECTIVE Systemic levels of C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 have been reported to be elevated in patients with periodontitis compared with periodontally healthy individuals. Most studies included patients with chronic periodontitis and comprised predominantly Caucasians. The aim of this study

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the presence and quantity of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and albumin (ALB) in specified periodontal tissues and serum from patients diagnosed as having juvenile periodontitis (JP), using an immunoelectrophoresis technique and to determine which portion

OBJECTIVE Salivary proteomics technology can be used to evaluate the disease progression of periodontitis and the systemic screening of proteomes of saliva from subjects with aggressive periodontitis has not been available. The objective of this preliminary study was to compare the proteomic profile

BACKGROUND Sera from patients with periodontal attachment loss contain higher concentrations of IgG anti-phosphorylcholine (anti-PC) than sera from healthy subjects. Furthermore, a large proportion of plaque bacteria bear PC-containing surface antigens, implicating the oral flora as a source of

Introduction: Renal amyloidosis may lead to renal disease, and then nephrotic syndrome may develop. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first case report in which a patient presents with generalized aggressive periodontitis

OBJECTIVE To investigate the long-term effects of non-surgical treatment on clinical and hematologic states of patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP). METHODS Patients with GAgP (n = 25) and healthy controls (n = 28) were recruited. The clinical parameters, including probing depth

An electro-immunoassay technique was used to determine simultaneously immunoglobulin G (IgG) and albumin concentrations in serum and extracts of gingival tissue comprising the pocket wall. Assays of samples obtained from seven patients with juvenile periodontitis (mean age, 18 years) indicated that

BACKGROUND The association between periodontitis and systemic health is evident; however, until recently, there was a lack of scientific evidence to define the relationship between aggressive periodontitis (AgP) and systemic conditions. The aim of this study was to explore the characteristics of

BACKGROUND "Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) is a destructive disease characterized by the following: The involvement of multiple teeth with a distinctive pattern of periodontal tissue loss; a high rate of disease progression; an early age of onset; and the absence of systemic diseases.'' Chronic

OBJECTIVE To compare the proteomic profiles of whole unstimulated saliva (WUS) of subjects with chronic periodontitis (CP) with that of healthy volunteers, and to identify proteins. METHODS WUS was obtained from five subjects with CP and five healthy subjects, and proteins were separated using

The objective of the present study was to determine the relationship between concentrations of antibodies in serum and those in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of patients with juvenile periodontitis and severe periodontitis. Most antigens used to quantitate antibodies were obtained from a panel of

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans lipopolysaccharide (Aa.LPS) is a major virulence factor associated with aggressive periodontitis. Although the recognition of Aa.LPS is potentially initiated by salivary proteins in the oral cavity, Aa.LPS-binding proteins (Aa.LPS-BPs) in saliva are poorly

The plaque-derived gram-negative microorganism Y4 identified as a member of the genus Actinobacillus, was tested for a soluble cytotoxic factor(s). Sonication or incubation of viable Y4 microorganisms in distilled water or normal human serum resulted in liberation of a soluble material which was
