RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Bone regeneration depends on vascularization in the pertaining site. This study aims to investigate autogenous bone grafts mixed with recombinant human vascular endothelial growth factor (rhVEGF) effect on bone regeneration in rat mandibular bone defect. MATERIAL METHODS: Using 32 Wistar Albino rats, our experimental study consists of 4 groups: Group1 (control group), the defect was empty; Group 2, autogenous bone graft only; Group 3, gelatin sponge plus rhVEGF applications; Group 4, autogenous bone graft plus rhVEGF applications. The rats were sacrificed on the 28th day after the operation. New bone regeneration was analyzed histologically and immunohistochemically. RESULTS: Our histological analyses revealed that new bone regeneration in Group 3 was enhanced in comparison to Group 1 and Group 2. However, autogenous bone grafts combined with rhVEGF provided the best outcome in conjunction with the increased remodeling of the new bone. CONCLUSIONS: In the light of our results, it can be concluded that autogenous bone grafts in combination with rhVEGF can, potentially, enhance neovascularization and bone regeneration.

OBJECTIVE: Autogenous tooth bone grafts (ATGM) are materials prepared from extracted teeth and have been used for bone augmentation. These graft materials are known to have similar structures and components to bone grafts. In this sense, this study aimed to evaluate all the tooth layers mixed with simvastatin without any demineralization process effect on bone formation. METHODS: In 60 Wistar albino rats, a standardized 6.0 m-diameter critical size bone defect was created in their calvarium. The study consists of 1 control and 4 experimental groups. In the control group (12 rats), the defects were left empty. The defects were grafted only with ATGM in Group 1, with ATGM mixed with simvastatin in Group 2, autogenous bone graft mixed with simvastatin in Group 3, and with xenogenic bone graft mixed with simvastatin in Group 4. The animals were sacrificed at the 7th and 28th days after operation. RESULTS: PCR, micro CT and histological results show that bone formation was enhanced in the experimental groups in comparison to the control group. Group 1 and Group 2 had similar bone formation rate when compared to Group 3 and Group 4 at the 28th day after operation. CONCLUSION: This study concludes that mineralized teeth may be used for defect reconstruction without any demineralization process. Autogenous mineralized tooth bone graft should be mixed with simvastatin for bone regeneration like other grafts.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of autogenous tooth bone graft (ATBG) combined with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on bone healing in rabbit peri-implant osseous defects. Eighteen New Zealand rabbits were divided into 3 groups. Bone defects were prepared in each rabbit, and then an implant cavity was created in the defects. Dental implants were placed, and the peri-implant bone defects were treated with the following 3 methods: no graft material was applied in the control group, bone defects were treated with ATBG in the ATBG group, and bone defects were treated with ATBG combined with PRF in the ATBG+PRF group. After 28 days, the rabbits were sacrificed, and the dental implants with surrounding bone were removed. New bone formation and the percentage of bone-to-implant contact (BIC) were determined with histomorphometric evaluations. New bone formation was significantly higher in the ATBG+PRF group than the control and ATBG groups (P < .05). In addition, BIC was significantly higher in the ATBG+PRF group than in the control and ATBG groups (P < .05). The combination of ATBG with PRF contributed to bone healing in rabbits with peri-implant bone defects.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the contributions of autogenous tooth bone graft (ATBG) combined with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on new bone formation and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 in rabbit calvarial defects. Twelve male New Zealand rabbits were used in this study. Three circular bone defects were prepared in each rabbit with a drill. These defects were divided into 3 groups: control, treated with ATBG, and treated with ATBG+PRF. The animals were sacrificed at 28 days. Samples were evaluated by histomorphometric analyses and total augmented area, new bone area and bone density were calculated. In addition, expression of BMP-2 was determined by immunohistochemical staining. The total augmented area, new bone area and bone density were significantly greater in the ATBG group than in the control group (Pâ<0.05). Also, these values were significantly higher in the ATBG+PRF group than the ATBG group (Pâ<0.05). Test groups demonstrated significantly increased BMP-2 levels compared with the control group (Pâ<0.05). The present study suggested that ATBG combined with PRF significantly increased the new bone formation and enhanced bone healing in cranial defects.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The aim of this prospective study was to determine ionized and total magnesium (Mg) levels in pregnant subjects with and without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS: Eighty-five women, 26-28 weeks pregnant, were recruited for routine oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT); 45 had normal OGTT results and 40 were diagnosed with GDM. Electrolyte levels, including ionized and total Mg, were analyzed. RESULTS: Gestational age and BMI were similar between the two groups (p = 0.800, p = 0.025). Multivitamin use was higher in the control group (p = 0.036). Fasting blood glucose was higher in the GDM group (p < 0.001). The median total Mg levels were 1.9 mg/dl (range 1.6-2.2) in the control group and 1.8 mg/dl (range 1.2-2.1) in the GDM group (p < 0.001). The median ionized Mg levels were 0.5 mmol/l (range 0.4-0.6) in the control group and 0.4 mmol/l (range 0.4-0.5) in the GDM group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Our study revealed a relationship between low total and ionized Mg levels and GDM, as in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The literature regarding type 2 DM and our findings suggest that Mg is the key ion in the pathophysiology of GDM. Low-dose Mg supplementation was not related to GDM; however, pharmacological doses in the various stages of pregnancy could be beneficial and should be investigated.

PURPOSE: To investigate the relationships of osteoprotegerin (OPG) concentrations to brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) and the carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: Thirty-seven women with PCOS and 41 controls matched for body mass index (BMI) and age were included in study. The serum OPG concentrations, hormonal and metabolic profiles were measured in women with PCOS and in control group. The CIMT and brachial artery FMD were evaluated in both groups. RESULTS: The mean serum concentrations of all hormones were comparable, except LH, which was higher in women with PCOS. Lipid parameters were similar between groups. There were no differences between groups with respect to fasting glucose, 2-h glucose, fasting insulin, HbA1c and HOMA-IR. The mean osteoprotogerin concentrations were higher in PCOS group (11.39 ± 2.29 vs. 10.22 ± 2.25 pmol/L, P = 0.026). The mean CIMT was higher in PCOS group than control group (0.52 ± 0.058 vs. 0.45 ± 0.059 mm, P < 0.01). The mean brachial artery FMD was lower in PCOS group (0.068 ± 0.022 vs. 0.055 ± 0.029, P = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS: We found high osteoprotogerin concentrations, increased CIMT and decreased FMD, in women with PCOS. However, there was no correlation between osteoprotegerin and cardiovascular risk markers.

STUDY QUESTION: What is the prevalence of abnormalities in glucose metabolism in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and controls in a Turkish population? SUMMARY ANSWER: The total prevalence of glucose abnormalities in PCOS patients was 16.3% [impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) 14.3%; type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) 2%] and was higher than in healthy subjects (IGT 8.5%; T2DM 0%, respectively). WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: One of the most common markers of chronic glycemia is hemoglobin Alc (HbA1c). However, little is known about whether the use of HbA1c results in diagnosis of more cases of glucose intolerance in the PCOS population than the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) alone. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: This was a prospective study, including 252 women with PCOS and 117 control women without PCOS. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: The study was carried out in the gynecological outpatient department of Namik Kemal University Hospital, Turkey, between 2010 and 2012. Women with PCOS (n = 252) were diagnosed according to Rotterdam criteria. The control group included 117 women (aged 17-45 years) who were selected randomly. BMI of participants ranged between 15.6 and 47.9 kg/m(2). MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: Patients with PCOS were comparable to controls in terms of age (24.8 versus 25.9 years, respectively) and had higher BMI (26.1 versus 24.9 kg/m(2), respectively). Of 252 patients with PCOS, 41 had glucose intolerance (IGT 14.3%; T2DM 2%) when compared with 10 of the 117 control patients (IGT 8.5%; T2DM 0%; odds ratios = 2.08; P = 0.045) during the OGTT. When an HbA1c value ≥ 5.6% was used to divide the total population, the prevalence of abnormal glucose metabolism was 7.9% in the patients with PCOS, below the value detected in the control patients (8.5%), which showed that 20 of 41 patients with abnormal glucose tolerance would not have been diagnosed, if the HbA1c alone had been used. When compared with the OGTT results, HbA1c provided 52.4% sensitivity, 74.4% specificity, 67.1% positive and 60.9% negative predictive values with a threshold value of 5.6% in abnormal glucose tolerance. The receiver operating characteristic analysis suggested a threshold value of 5.35% in HbA1c (75.6% sensitivity and 52.6% specificity) for the prediction of abnormal glucose tolerance. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: This study did not involve weight-matched healthy subjects, which may cause a difference in prevalence of abnormal glucose metabolism between the groups, and the results are limited to an unselected population of patients who have the full PCOS phenotype. In addition, the incidence of T2DM among the first-degree relatives and 2-h insulin levels could not be reported in full. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: Further investigation of the efficacy of HbA1c for the prediction of abnormal glucose tolerance should be undertaken in long-term prospective studies and in different geographic populations. At present, the only way to reliably detect abnormal glucose metabolism in Turkish women with PCOS appears to be using the OGTT. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S): No financial support. The authors have no competing interests to declare. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Not applicable.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of probable diffused local anesthetic solution at and anesthesia of palatal tissues after buccal injection of 4% articaine hydrochloride (HCl) with 1:100,000 epinephrine or 1:200,000 epinephrine at the premolar and molar region. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty volunteers received maxillary buccal injections of 4% articaine HCl with 1:100,000 epinephrine or 1:200,000 epinephrine bilaterally to the first premolar or first molar. Magnetic resonance images were obtained before and 5 minutes after local anesthetic injections, and a visual evaluation was done to determine the presence of local anesthetic solution at palatal tissues. Anesthesia of palatal tissues after buccal injection was assessed by needle-prick stimulation pain with a visual analog scale (VAS). The Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparison of the VAS values. RESULTS: The visual evaluation of the magnetic resonance images did not show any signal change as an indicator of the presence of local anesthetic solution at the palatal region. Most of the volunteers described moderate or severe pain with needle-prick stimulation. The mean VAS score for needle-prick stimulation was 86.33 +/- 39.45 mm (1:100,000 epinephrine) and 87.0 +/- 36.28 mm (1:200,000 epinephrine) in the first premolar region and 57.20 +/- 46.69 mm (1:100,000 epinephrine) and 75.53 +/- 49.78 mm (1:200,000 epinephrine) in the molar region (P > .05). CONCLUSION: We could not establish the presence of anesthesia or 4% articaine HCl at the palatal tissues after buccal injection. Maxillary tooth removal without palatal injection requires further objective investigations.

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is used as a therapeutic agent to prevent bone loss. We determined the effects of systemically administered CAPE on alveolar bone loss and oxidative stress in diabetic rats with experimental periodontitis. Forty male rats were divided into four equal groups: control, experimental periodontitis (EP), EP-diabetes mellitus (EP-DM) and EP-DM-CAPE. DM was induced by streptozotocin, then lipopolysaccharide was injected to induce periodontitis. CAPE was administered to the EP-DM-CAPE group daily for 15 days. Then, serum samples were taken and the rats were sacrificed for histological analyses. Serum interleukin (IL-1ß) and oxidative stress also were evaluated. Alveolar bone loss was assessed histomorphometrically. Alveolar bone loss and IL-1ß levels were significantly less in the EP-DM-CAPE and EP groups compared to the EP-DM group. Oxidative stress was significantly less in the EP-DM-CAPE group compared to the EP and EP-DM groups. Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) levels were significantly higher in the EP-DM group compared to the disease groups. CAPE significantly reduced RANKL levels in the EP-DM-CAPE group compared to the EP-DM group. We found that CAPE treatment significantly inhibited DM induced oxidative stress and RANKL induced osteoclastogenesis and alveolar bone loss in diabetic rats with periodontitis.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is an antioxidant which is decreases the bone resorption and enhances the bone healing. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of administering systemic CAPE on alveolar bone loss in rats with experimental periodontitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into three groups: control, endotoxin-induced periodontitis (EP), and EP treated with CAPE (EP-CAPE). Endotoxin was injected into the gingiva of test rats on days 1, 3, and 5, whereas saline was injected into the control rats. The EP-CAPE group received 10â¯mmol/kg/day CAPE intraperitoneally for 28 consecutive days. Saline was given in the control and EP groups in the same manner. At the end of the study, intracardiac blood samples were obtained, and the rats were sacrificed. Alveolar bone loss was analyzed with histometric measurements. The oxidative stress index (OSI) was used to evaluate the oxidative stress. The receptor activator of the nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) level was analyzed stereologically. RESULTS: CAPE administration significantly decreased the serum OSI and interleukin-1ß levels. Alveolar bone loss was statistically higher in the EP group compared with the EP-CAPE group (Pâ¯<â¯0.05). Immunohistochemical analyses of the RANKL were significantly lower in the EP-CAPE group than in the EP group (Pâ¯<â¯0.05). CONCLUSION: This experimental study revealed that CAPE administration significantly prevented alveolar bone loss and stimulated periodontal tissue healing.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Although it has been shown that rifamycin is an effective agent for bone graft decontamination, no information exists on the effects of rifamycin decontamination on bone graft incorporation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of rifamycin decontamination on the incorporation of autologous onlay bone grafts quantitatively. DESIGN: In 30 rats, a standardized 5.0-mm-diameter bone graft was harvested from the right mandibular angle, contaminated with saliva, decontaminated with rifamycin solution, and augmented to the left as an onlay graft. Ten animals were sacrificed at 7, 14, and 21 days after surgery. In the control group (10 rats), the onlay grafts were neither contaminated nor decontaminated, and the rats were sacrificed at 21 days after surgery. Histological slides were prepared from each grafted site for both immunohistochemistry analysis (bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibodies) and histometric analysis. Images obtained from the graft incorporation area with the light microscope were transferred to a PC, and they were evaluated using Clemex PE 3.5 image analysis software. RESULTS: The grafts were fully incorporated in all specimens. The results showed that rifamycin decontamination has no detrimental effect on graft incorporation and the findings revealed a tendency for earlier revascularization and osteogenesis in the decontamination group. Data were analyzed using variance analysis and Tukey's test. CONCLUSIONS: Rifamycin decontamination has no detrimental effect on autogenous graft incorporation, and it can be used for graft decontamination with confidence.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare the outcome of pregnancies with retained or removed intrauterine devices (IUDs) and the effect of IUD location on pregnancy outcome. STUDY DESIGN: In a retrospective cohort study, we searched 27,578 records of women who had CuT380 IUD inserted, and 144 pregnancies with IUD were analyzed. IUDs were removed from 114 patients and retained for 30 patients. RESULTS: The combined risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (miscarriage, intrauterine fetal death, intrauterine growth retardation, preterm birth and preterm premature rupture of membranes) was 36.8% in the IUD-removed group and 63.3% in the IUD-retained group [p<.01; relative risk (RR)=2.0; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3-3.3]. Newborns of the IUD-retained women had significantly lower Apgar scores and significantly higher admission rate to the neonatal intensive care unit (p=.01; RR=10.8; 95% CI 1.04-111.6 and p<.01; RR=4.5; 95% CI 1.5-12.9, respectively). There were more miscarriages and adverse pregnancy outcome when the IUD was retained (16.9% vs. 66.7%) in patients with an IUD in low-lying position (p<.01; RR=3.9; 95% CI 1.8-8.6). CONCLUSION: Women who conceived with an IUD in place and chose to continue the pregnancy without removing the IUD need close follow-up, as there appears to be higher risk of adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcome. Furthermore, when the IUD is retained in the low-lying position, there is increased risk of miscarriage and adverse pregnancy outcome compared to removal of the IUD. Future randomized controlled studies are needed to determine the outcome of pregnancies with retained or removed IUD. IMPLICATIONS: In this study, we have evaluated the IUD location and its effect on pregnancy outcome in women with a retained or removed IUD. This study is the first to investigate the relationship between IUD location and pregnancy outcome in women who conceived with an IUD. We need evidence from a collaborative multicenter randomized trial to answer the question of whether the IUD should be removed in case of pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of infliximab on experimentally induced ovarian ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRi). STUDY DESIGN: A total of 42 female rats were equally divided into 6 experimental groups; group 1: sham operation, group 2: 3-h ischemia, group 3 and 4: 3-h ischemia, 3-h reperfusion, group 5 and 6: 3-h ischemia, 24h reperfusion. In group 4 and group 6, 30 min before reperfusion, infliximab was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 5mg/kg. Bilateral ovaries were removed for histopathologic and biochemical analysis. Serum MDA (sMDA), tissue MDA (tMDA), serum NO (sNO), tissue NO (tNO) and serum catalase concentrations were analyzed. Tissue damage of ovarian tissue was scored by histological examination. RESULTS: The infliximab administration significantly lowered the sNO, tNO and sMDA concentrations in group 4 compared to group 3 (p=0.041, p=0.025 and p=0.035, respectively). sNO, tNO and sMDA concentrations were also lower in group 6 when compared to group 5, but this differences were not significant (p>0.05). On the other hand, tMDA concentrations were lower in infliximab-applied groups when compared to ischemia/reperfusion groups (group 3 vs. 4 and 5 vs. 6) (p=0.045 and p=0.048, respectively). Moreover, histopathologic tissue damage scores in infliximab administration groups were significantly lower than in ischemia/reperfusion groups (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Infliximab attenuates I/R-induced ovarian tissue injury in rats subjected to ischemia/reperfusion.
