RESUMO
Purpose: Conduct a bibliometric analysis to review the knowledge structure and research trends regarding the association between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods: The Web of Science Core collection database was searched for retrieving publications related to periodontitis and CVD between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2022. The VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R software package "bibliometrix" were employed for the bibliometric analysis. Results: In total, 3447 articles were collected from 98 countries over the past 20 years, with the United States (1,003), Japan (377), and China (321) contributing the most publications. The literature in this field exhibited exponential growth. The University of Helsinki (n = 125, 1.37 %) holds the distinction of being the research institution with the highest number of publications, with a predominant representation from institutions in the United States. Notably, the Journal of Periodontology emerges as the most popular journal in the field, whereas the Journal of Clinical Periodontology takes the lead in terms of citations. These publications originated from 15,236 authors, with Pussinen (n = 40) having the highest number of published papers and Tonetti (n = 976) garnering the most citations. The visualization analysis of keywords identified "oral microbiome," "inflammation," and "porphyromonas gingivalis" as emerging research hotspots in exploring the relationship between periodontitis and CVDs. Conclusion: Through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis, this study posits that periodontitis may heighten the risk of cardiovascular events, offering valuable academic references for scholars investigating the link between periodontitis and CVDs.
RESUMO
Cannabidiol (CBD), one of the most important active ingredients in cannabis, has been reported to have some pharmacological effects such as antibacterial and analgesic effects, and to have therapeutic potential in the treatment of oral diseases such as oral cancer, gingivitis and periodontal diseases. However, there is a lack of relevant systematic research and reviews. Therefore, based on the etiology and clinical symptoms of several common oral diseases, this paper focuses on the therapeutic potential of CBD in periodontal diseases, pulp diseases, oral mucosal diseases, oral cancer and temporomandibular joint diseases. The pharmacological effects of CBD and the distribution and function of its receptors in the oral cavity are also summarized. In order to provide reference for future research and further clinical application of CBD, we also summarize several possible routes of administration and corresponding characteristics. Finally, the challenges faced while applying CBD clinically and possible solutions are discussed, and we also look to the future.

Objective: The study aims to investigate the causal relationship between cheese intake and caries occurrence by a two-sample Mendelian randomization method (TSMR). Methods: Data from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on cheese intake as an exposure factor were collected, and dental caries was the outcome variable, appropriate SNPs were selected as instrumental variables (IVs). The TSMR was analyzed by the inverse variance weighting (IVW) method, weighted median method, MR-Egger regression method, simple model and weighted model. Results: We identified forty-four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene encoding group-specific component (cheese) that were associated with cheese intake, and IVW was adopted. The IVW method supported a relationship between cheese intake and the risk of dental caries occurrence[OR,1.00(95 %CI,0.99-1.00), P = 0.039 < 0.05]. There was no horizontal pleiotropy between the IVs(b = -0.0037, P = 0.39), and the sensitivity analysis using the "leave-one-out" method was robust to causal effects. Conclusion: The results of the TSMR analysis supported that an appropriate intake of cheese could reduce the occurrence of dental caries.
RESUMO
Currently, clinical strategies for the treatment of wounds are limited, especially in terms of achieving rapid wound healing. In recent years, based on the technique of electrospinning (ES), cell electrospinning (C-ES) has been developed to better repair related tissues or organs (such as skin, fat and muscle) by encapsulating living cells in a microfiber or nanofiber environment and constructing 3D living fiber scaffolds. Therefore, C-ES has promising prospects for promoting wound healing. In this article, C-ES technology and its advantages, the differences between C-ES and traditional ES, the parameters suitable for maintaining cytoactivity, and material selection and design issues are summarized. In addition, we review the application of C-ES in the fields of biomaterials and cells. Finally, the limitations and improved methods of C-ES are discussed. In conclusion, the potential advantages, limitations and prospects of C-ES application in wound healing are presented.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: The prognosis of patients with advanced tongue squamous cell carcinoma (ATSCC) is poor, and their overall survival (OS) is relatively short. Currently, the TNM stage system is often used clinically to assess the prognosis of patients, but the evaluation index of the TNM stage system is relatively single and does not specifically demonstrate relevant prognostic data. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to construct a dynamic online nomogram for predicting the prognosis of patients with ATSCC and to provide some reference for personalized clinical treatment of patients. METHODS: Clinical and prognostic information on patients with pathologically confirmed ATSCC from 2000 to 2018 was extracted from the SEER database and randomly divided into a training cohort and a validation cohort in a 7:3 ratio. Multifactorial and univariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify prognostic risk factors. Dynamic online nomogram were constructed using R software. Area under the curve (AUC), C-index, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) with time-dependent ROC curves were used to assess the clinical utility of the nomogram. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to compare the prognosis of different patient categories. RESULTS: A total of 3828 patients with ATSCC were screened in the SEER database.Age,race, primary site, AJCC T,N and M stage, lymph nodes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and marital status were independent influences on OS(P < 0.05). In the training cohort, the C-index of the OS-related line plot was 0.733 and the AUC for predicting 3-year OS was 0.867. In the validation cohort, the C-index was 0.738 and the AUC for 3-year OS was 0.899. Calibration plots and DCA curves showed good predictive performance of the model in both the training and validation cohorts. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that chemotherapy, lymph nodes surgery,married,primary site(tongue base) and radiotherapy had better OS than the non-chemotherapy, non-surgery, single, primary site(tongue anterior), and non-radiotherapy groups, respectively (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The established dynamic online nomogram has good predictive performance, which helps to personalize and combine the actual clinical patients to comprehensively predict the prognosis of ATSCC patients and may have better clinical application than the TNM stage system.

OBJECTIVE: Oral tongue keratinized squamous cell carcinoma (OTKSCC), a relatively rare form of tongue cancer (TC) in clinical practice, accompanied by features of cell keratosis, is an uncommon histological subtype. However, its specific clinicopathological features and prognosis have not been adequately described. In this study, we aimed to create a nomogram using R language software to predict overall survival (OS) of patients with OTKSCC to assess the prognosis of OTKSCC patients. METHODS: We extracted clinical and related prognostic data of OTKSCC patients from 1975 to 2019 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Independent prognostic factors were selected using univariate and multivariate Cox analyses, and a nomogram was constructed using R software. The C-index, area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to assess the clinical utility of the nomogram. Finally, OS was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: A total of 2450 OTKSCC patients were included in the study. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify age, T stage, N stage, surgery, and radiation therapy as independent risk factors (p<0.05). In the training cohort, the calibration index of the nomogram was 0.725, while the AUC values for nomogram, age, T stage, N stage, surgery and radiation therapy were 0.878, 0.639, 0.781, 0.661, 0.724 and 0.354, respectively. At the same time, in the verification queue, the calibration index of the nomogram was 0.726, while the AUC values for nomogram, age, T stage, N stage, surgery and radiation therapy were 0.859,0.612,0.826,0.675,0.758 and 0.303, respectively. Ideal uniformity of the models from the training and validation cohorts was demonstrated in the calibration and DCA curves. Univariate survival analysis showed that age, T stage, N stage, surgery, and radiotherapy were statistically significant for prognosis (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Age, T stage, N stage, surgery, and radiation therapy are independently associated with the OS, and the established nomogram is an effective visualization tool for predicting the OS of OTKSCC patients.

OBJECTIVE: Pancreatic body tail carcinoma (PBTC) is a relatively few pancreatic cancer in clinical practice, and its specific clinicopathological features and prognosis have not been fully described. In this study, we aimed to create a nomogram to predict the overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced PBTC. METHODS: We extracted clinical and related prognostic data of advanced PBTC patients from 2000 to 2018 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Independent prognostic factors were selected using univariate and multivariate Cox analyses, and a nomogram was constructed using R software. The C-index, area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to assess the clinical utility of the nomogram. Finally, OS was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: A total of 1256 patients with advanced PBTC were eventually included in this study. Age, grade, N stage, M stage, surgery, and chemotherapy were identified as independent risk factors using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses (p < 0.05). In the training cohort, the calibration index of the nomogram was 0.709, while the AUC values of the nomogram, age, grade, N stage, M stage, surgery, and chemotherapy were 0.777, 0.562, 0.621, 0.5, 0.576, 0.632, and 0.323, respectively. Meanwhile, in the validation cohort, the AUC values of the nomogram, age, grade, N stage, M stage, surgery, and chemotherapy were 0.772, 0.551, 0.629, 0.534, 0.577, 0.606, and 0.639, respectively. Good agreement of the model in the training and validation cohorts was demonstrated in the calibration and DCA curves. Univariate survival analysis showed a statistically significant effect of age, grade, M stage, and surgery on prognosis (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Age, grade, M stage, and surgery were independently associated with OS, and the established nomogram was a visual tool to effectively predict OS in advanced PBTC patients.

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cancer, particularly pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), is an aggressive malignancy associated with a low 5-year survival rate. Poor outcomes associated with PDA are attributable to late detection and inoperability. Most patients with PDA are diagnosed with locally advanced and metastatic disease. Such cases are primarily treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Because of the lack of effective molecular targets, early diagnosis and successful therapies are limited. The purpose of this study was to screen key candidate genes for PDA using a bioinformatic approach and to research their potential functional, pathway mechanisms associated with PDA progression. It may help to understand the role of associated genes in the development and progression of PDA and identify relevant molecular markers with value for early diagnosis and targeted therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To identify novel genes associated with carcinogenesis and progression of PDA, we analyzed the microarray datasets GSE62165, GSE125158, and GSE71989 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, and the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) was used for Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using STRING, and module analysis was performed using Cytoscape. Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) was used to evaluate the differential expression of hub genes in patients with PDA. In addition, we verified the expression of these genes in PDA cell lines and normal pancreatic epithelial cells. RESULTS: A total of 202 DEGs were identified and these were found to be enriched for various functions and pathways, including cell adhesion, leukocyte migration, extracellular matrix organization, extracellular region, collagen trimer, membrane raft, fibronectin-binding, integrin binding, protein digestion, and absorption, and focal adhesion. Among these DEGs, 12 hub genes with high degrees of connectivity were selected. Survival analysis showed that the hub genes (HMMR, CEP55, CDK1, UHRF1, ASPM, RAD51AP1, DLGAP5, KIF11, SHCBP1, PBK, and HMGB2) may be involved in the tumorigenesis and development of PDA, highlighting their potential as diagnostic and therapeutic factors in PDA. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, the DEGs and hub genes identified in the present study not only contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the carcinogenesis and progression of PDA but may also serve as potential new biomarkers and targets for PDA.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of Icariin (ICA) on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: An enzymatic digestion block was used in vitro to culture hPDLSCs, which were separated and purified by limited dilution cloning. The hPDLSCs were identified using cell-surface markers and cocultured with 1 x 10(-7) mol.L-1 ICA solution. The proliferation ability of these cells was determined by thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. After staining with alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteogenesis was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Osteoblast-related genes were analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Alizarin red staining was performed to measure the level of calcium deposition. The hPDLSCs were cocultured with 1 x 10(-7) mol.L-1 ICA and nano-hydroxyapatite scaffolds in vivo before transplantation into subcutaneous tissues of nude mice. Osteogenic abilities were histochemically analyzed after 30 days of induction. RESULTS: The hPDLSCs were affected by 1 x 10(-7) mol.L-1 ICA, and MTT assay showed that the proliferation of the groups treated with ICA in vitro was better than that of the control groups on the second day. The ALP activity of the treated hPDLSCs was significantly enhanced after cell culture for 3, 5, and 7 days. The gene expression of osteoblastic markers was also significantly enhanced after 7 days. The deposition of mineralization after incubation with 1 x 10(-7) mol.L-1 ICA increased compared with the control after cell culture for 14, 21, and 28 days. Furthermore, the bone expression of the treatment groups in vivo was significantly enhanced compared with that of the control groups. CONCLUSION: Treatment with 1 x 10(-7) mol.L-1 ICA can significantly promote proliferation and differentiation of hPDLSCs in vitro and in vivo. ICA can effectively function as a bioactive growth factor in periodontal tissue engineering to replace traditional growth factors.

OBJECTIVE: To construct a lentiviral vector carrying tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 14 (TNFSF14) gene, infect tongue cancer Tca8113 cells in vitro, and observe the effect on infected Tca8113 cells. METHODS: A lentiviral vector containing TNFSF14 gene was constructed and used to infect the Tca8113 cells. After selected by puromycin, the level of TNFSF14 mRNA in Tca8113 cells was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Cell proliferation activity and cell circle were determined respectively by MTT assay and flow cytometry (FCM). And the cell migration ability was measured by Transwell(TM) assay. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the expression of TNFSF14 mRNA increased in the infected cells. MTT assay and FCM showed TNFSF14 promoted the proliferation of Tca8113 cells. Transwell™ assay showed TNFSF14 boosted the migration ability of Tca8113 cells. CONCLUSION: The proliferation and migration would be enhanced in Tca8113 cells with over-expressed TNFSF14.

This study is to explore the osteogenesis potential of the human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) induced by naringin in vitro and in vitro. The results confirmed that 1 µM naringin performs the best effect and a collection of bone-related genes (RUNX2, COL1A2, OPN, and OCN) had significantly higher expression levels compared to the control group. Furthermore, a typical trabecular structure was observed in vivo, surrounded by a large amount of osteoblasts. These results demonstrated that naringin, at a concentration of 1 µM, can efficiently promote the proliferation and differentiation of hPDLSCs both in vitro and in vivo.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of ginsenoside Rg-1 on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) and to explore the possible application on the alveolar bone regeneration. METHODS: To determine the optimum concentration, the effects of ginsenoside Rg-1 ranging from 10 to 100 µmol/L were evaluated by 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo(-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide, alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium deposition. Expressions of runt-related transcription factor 2, collagen alpha-2(I) chain, osteopontin, osteocalcin protein were examined using real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, a certain concentration (10 µmol/L) of the Rg-1 solution significantly enhanced the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs (P<0.05). However, concentrations that exceeds 100 µmol/L led to cytotoxicity whereas concentrations below 10 nmol/L showed no significant effect as compared with the control. CONCLUSION: Ginsenoside Rg-1 can enhance the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs at an optimal concentration of 10 µmol/L.
