RESUMO
AIM: Lack of consistently reported outcomes limits progress in evidence-based implant dentistry and quality of care. The objective of this initiative was to develop a core outcome set (COS) and measurements for implant dentistry clinical trials (ID-COSM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET)-registered international initiative comprised six steps over 24 months: (i) systematic reviews of outcomes reported in the last 10 years; (ii) international patient focus groups; (iii) a Delphi project with a broad range of stakeholders (care providers, clinical researchers, methodologists, patients and industry representatives); (iv) expert group discussions organizing the outcomes in domains using a theoretical framework and identifying the COSs; (v) identification of valid measurement systems to capture the different domains and (vi) final consensus and formal approval involving experts and patients. The methods were modified from the best practice approach following the Outcome Measures in Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trial and COMET manuals. RESULTS: The systematic reviews and patient focus groups identified 754 (665 + 89, respectively) relevant outcome measures. After elimination of redundancies and duplicates, 111 were formally assessed in the Delphi project. By applying pre-specified filters, the Delphi process identified 22 essential outcomes. These were reduced to 13 after aggregating alternative assessments of the same features. The expert committee organized them into four core outcome areas: (i) pathophysiology, (ii) implant/prosthesis lifespan, (iii) life impact and (iv) access to care. In each area, core outcomes were identified to capture both the benefits and harms of therapy. Mandatory outcome domains included assessment of surgical morbidity and complications, peri-implant tissue health status, intervention-related adverse events, complication-free survival and overall patient satisfaction and comfort. Outcomes deemed mandatory in specific circumstances comprised function (mastication, speech, aesthetics and denture retention), quality of life, effort for treatment and maintenance and cost effectiveness. Specialized COSs were identified for bone and soft-tissue augmentation procedures. The validity of measurement instruments ranged from international consensus (peri-implant tissue health status) to early identification of important outcomes (patient-reported outcomes identified by the focus groups). CONCLUSIONS: The ID-COSM initiative reached a consensus on a core set of mandatory outcomes for clinical trials in implant dentistry and/or soft tissue/bone augmentation. Adoption in future protocols and reporting on the respective domain areas by currently ongoing trials will contribute to improving evidence-informed implant dentistry and quality of care.

The bacteria-mediated inflammatory conditions adversely affect the osseointegration process of endosseous implants, which can even lead to implant malfunction or failure. Local drug delivery has been designed to exert anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities, but whether this strategy has an effect on the compromised osseointegration under inflammation has rarely been studied. The present study focused on the osteoinductive efficacy of two known phytoestrogens [bergapten (BP) and quercetin (QE)] on implant sites under multiple bacteria-infected conditions in situ. Furthermore, the gene expression profiles of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) treated with BP and QE in the presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis-derived lipopolysaccharide were identified. The results showed that both drugs, especially QE, had significant potentiating effects on promoting osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs, resisting multiple pathogens, and reducing inflammatory activity. Meanwhile, RNA sequencing analysis highlighted the enriched gene ontology terms and the differentially expressed genes (Vps25, Il1r2, Csf3, Efemp1, and Ccl20) that might play essential roles in regulating the above tri-effects, which provided the basis for the drug delivery system to be used as a novel therapeutic strategy for integrating peri-implant health. Overall, our study confirmed that QE appeared to outperform BP in osteogenesis and bacterial killing but not in anti-inflammation. Moreover, both drugs possess favorable tri-effects and can serve as the pivotal agents for the drug delivery system to boost osseointegration at inflammatory implant sites.

AIM: Ovarian cancer is the fifth common cancer in females. The aim of our study was to determine function of Zeylenone on cell viability and apoptosis of ovarian carcinoma SKOV3 cells. METHODS: Cell viability was measured by Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay; Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. The mRNA and protein levels of related factors were determined by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS: Cell viability was decreased by Zeylenone in a dose-dependent manner. Zeylenone with concentrations of 2.5, 5 and 10 µmol/L was used to treat ovarian carcinoma SKOV3 cells for 24 h in the following study. The loss of MMP and apoptosis were both significantly increased by Zeylenone. The mRNA and protein levels of cytochrome c (cyto c) and apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) in cytosol were increased by Zeylenone. The mRNA and protein levels of Caspase-3, Fas, Fasl and Bax were increased; while the expression of Bcl-2 was decreased by Zeylenone. The expression of (Janus family of tyrosine kinase) p-JAK and signal transducer and activator of transcription (p-STAT) was decreased significantly by Zeylenone. CONCLUSION: Zeylenone inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis in ovarian carcinoma cells. The JAK-STAT pathway was involved in this progress.
