AB  - Objective: To evaluate an association between bone levels of inflammation/oxidative stress mediators and postoperative discomfort after third molar conventional or piezosurgery. Material and methods: Twenty-six subjects with bilaterally impacted mandibular third molars, who underwent either piezo or conventional surgery, were included in a split-mouth design study. MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) expression, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) proteins, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in alveolar bone, were evaluated. Pain intensity, the first pain appearance, analgesic first use and total dose taken, trismus, and swelling were clinically recorded. Results: MiR-21 expression was higher while VEGF protein was lower in piezosurgery vs. conventional groups. The differences in IL-1β protein and SOD activity were not significant between groups. The pain intensity on the first day was significantly decreased in piezosurgery group. The first pain appearance and the first analgesic taken were reported sooner in conventional vs. piezosurgical group. Significantly pronounced trismus on the third day following conventional surgery was found. In conventional group, significantly increased trismus was observed on the third compared to the first postoperative day. MiR-21 showed significant correlation with the first pain appearance. Conclusion: Delayed onset of less pronounced postoperative pain after piezosurgical vs. conventional extraction of impacted lower third molar was significantly associated with expression of bone miR-21. Clinical relevance: Alveolar bone miR-21 may reflect surgical stress and is associated with third molar postoperative pain onset.

AB  - Objective: Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) represents a natural, low-cost product which may promote tissue healing by mechanisms not fully elucidated. Diabetes mellitus (DM) disrupts bone healing by inducing inflammation and oxidative stress (OS), mechanisms regulated by microRNAs (miRs). The aim of the present study was to investigate the microRNA-21 (miR-21) involvement in diabetic bone regeneration using L-PRF alone or in combination with a standard grafting material. Design: After the induction of diabetes (alloxan 100 mg/kg), four cranial osteotomies were made in diabetic (n = 12) and non-diabetic (n = 12) rabbits: one was left empty and the remaining three were grafted with L-PRF, bovine hydroxyapatite (Bio-Oss®) and L-PRF + Bio-Oss®. Two and eight weeks postoperatively, the samples were harvested for miR-21 expression (Real-time RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analyses. Results: Diabetic rabbits showed decreased miR-21 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) protein expression while increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels two weeks postoperatively; however, there were no significant differences in miR-21 and MMP-9 levels between diabetic and non-diabetic rabbits in samples taken eight weeks postoperatively. Application of L-PRF and L-PRF + Bio-Oss® improved miR-21 and MMP-9 and decreased MDA levels while Bio-Oss® alone enhanced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity levels in diabetic rabbits. Conclusion: L-PRF alone or in combination with bovine hydroxyapatite as bone graft could be beneficial in DM since it seems to improve inflammation-modulatory miR-21 expression and decreases oxidative stress. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - Introduction: Nearly sixty percent of patients with prostate cancer (PCa) undergo radiation therapy (RT). During the course of treatment patients may experience normal tissue reactions. It is a well established fact that genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, such as microRNA (miRNA) level changes might be associated with radiotoxicity, as a response to irradiation. Materials and methods: This is the first study that has investigated levels of radiosensory miRNAs in association with acute genitourinary radiotoxicity extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBCs), in three points; before RT (BRT), after RT (ART) and on the first control examination (FCONT). We measured levels of miR-21/146a/155 expression by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), comparative ΔΔCt method, in fifteen patients with localized prostate cancer, treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT). Nine subjects have experienced acute genitourinary (GU) radiotoxicity whereas six where without GU radiotoxicity. Results: Firstly, we detected the highest levels of miR-21 in ART group (p = 0.043) in the patients with acute GU radiotoxicity. Secondly, we found trend towards higher miR-21 levels and significantly higher levels of miR-146a/155 within the patients with acute GU toxicity than in patients without (p = 0.068, p = 0.016, and p = 0.010, respectively). Thirdly, we detected significant change in miR-146a/155 levels within the patients without acute GU radiotoxicity during RT p = 0.042, and p = 0.041, respectively). Conclusion: miR-21/146a/155 might be useful potential factors of radiosensitivity and acute genitourinary radiotoxicity in prostate cancer patients. miRNA might have great potential as predictors of various pathological conditions extracted from PBMCs. © 2018 Elsevier GmbH

AB  - Aim: Recent studies point at the crucial role of epigenetic mechanisms in the development of multifactorial diseases such as periodontitis and diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2. In addition, circulatory microRNAs (miRs) have emerged as novel biomarkers for various diseases. Aim of this study was to investigate the levels of miR-146a and miR-155 and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of periodontitis patients with (CPDM) and without (CP) DM type 2 as well as in periodontally healthy, control groups (PHDM and PH, respectively). Material and methodsmiR modulation was analysed using quantitative real-time PCR while SOD activity was measured spectrophotometrically. ResultsThe upregulation of miR-146a and miR-155 was observed in CP and CPDM patients' baseline, while the levels decreased after 6weeks of the non-surgical therapy to the levels comparable to PH and PHDM, respectively. Expression levels of miRs positively correlated with SOD activity. Levels of miR-146a were higher in PHDM compared to PH patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that levels of miR-146a and miR-155 were significantly associated with periodontitis when adjusting for age and gender. ConclusionsmiR-146a and miR-155 may be considered as possible novel biomarkers for periodontitis in non-diabetic and type 2 diabetic patients.

AB  - Introduction: The outcome of periapical surgery has been directly improved with the introduction of novel material formulations. The aim of the study was to compare the retrograde obturation quality of the following materials: calcium silicate (Biodentine; Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fosses, France), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA+; Cerkamed Company, Stalowa Wola, Poland), and glass ionomer cement (Fuji IX; GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). Methods: Materials' wettability was calculated concerning the contact angles of the cements measured using a glycerol drop. Cements' porosity was determined using mercury intrusion porosimetry and micro computed tomographic (mu CT) imaging. Extracted upper human incisors were retrofilled, and mu CT analysis was applied to calculate the volume of the gap between the retrograde filling material and root canal dentin. Experiments were performed before and after soaking the materials in simulated body fluid (SBF). Results: No statistically significant differences were found among the contact angles of the studied materials after being soaked in SBF. The material with the lowest nanoporosity (Fuji IX: 2.99% and 4.17% before and after SBF, respectively) showed the highest values of microporosity (4.2% and 3.1% before and after SBF, respectively). Biodentine had the lowest value of microporosity (1.2% and 0.8% before and after SBF, respectively) and the lowest value of microgap to the root canal wall ({[}10 +/- 30] x 10(-3) mm(3)). Conclusions: Biodentine and MTA possess certain advantages over Fuji IX for hermetic obturation of retrograde root canals. Biodentine shows a tendency toward the lowest marginal gap at the cement-to-dentin interface.

AB  - Background. The authors investigated morphologic parameters of the palatal cortex that affect the diffusion of local anesthetic solution in the region of the anterior middle superior alveolar (AMSA) nerve block injection site.   Methods. The authors used computed tomographic (CT) and micro-CT imaging to assess 20 human skulls from an anatomic collection. Analysis of the C1 images included frequency, distribution, and width of the nutrient canals in the bony palate, according to to the person's sex and age. Micro-CT analysis involved measuring the thickness and porosity of palatal cortical bone in the area of the AMSA injection site in relation to the thickness and porosity of the opposite buccal cortical bone.   Results. There was a statistically significant difference (P = .042) in the location of the nutrient canals between male specimens (> 50% in the border region) and female specimens (> 50% in the palatal process). Furthermore, the female skulls had significantly wider nutrient canal foramina (P = .042) than did the male skulls. Despite greater thickness, the palatal cortex in the area of the AMSA injection site had slightly greater porosity than did the buccal cortex. A significantly greater number of microcanals penetrated the whole cortical thickness in palatal than in buccal cortical bone (P = .001).   Conclusions. The distribution and width of nutrient canals differed between male and female skulls. At the microscopic level, structural characteristics of the palatal cortex provide a good anatomic basis for the potential of a satisfactory AMSA injection success rate.   Practical Implications. The AMSA technique success rate might be increased if the clinician adjusts the injection site to the distribution of nutrient canals, depending on the sex of the patient.

AB  - Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous group of diseases that still represents a major cause of death in the female population. MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs), such as miR-221 and miR-222, have been shown to be involved in BC pathology by acting via its target genes such as tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP3). The main goals of this study were to find differences in miR-221/222 levels of expression in BC groups based on invasiveness, and to investigate the association with estrogen receptor (ER), TIMP3 messenger RNA (mRNA) levels, and clinicopathological characteristics of patients and tumors. In this study, we measured levels of miR-221/222 in 63 breast tissue samples by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) using TaqMan(A (R)) technology and immunohistochemistry. miR-221/222 levels varied significantly across groups based on invasiveness (P LT 0.001). In in situ tumors, miR-221 and miR-222 were negatively associated with ER (P = 0.001, r = -0.714, and P = 0.013, r = -0.585, respectively). In invasive breast carcinomas associated with non-invasive tumors, miR-222 was inversely associated with ER (P = 0.039, r = -0.620). Pure invasive BCs showed a positive correlation of miR-221 and miR-222 with TIMP3 mRNA levels (P = 0.008, r = 0.508, and P = 0.010, r = 0.497, respectively). An increase in miR-221/222 might be an important event for in situ carcinoma formation, and miR-221/222 may be important molecules that highlight potential differences between invasive breast carcinomas associated with non-invasive and pure invasive BCs.

AB  - Background/Aim. Atherosclerotic-occlusive changes could be observed in orofacial branches of the external carotid artery. Atherosclerosis-induced ischemia caused alteration in production and release of endothelial factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of carotid artery occlusion (10, 30 and 60 min) on vascular effects of norepincphrine (NOR) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the isolated glandular branch of the rabbit facial artery, the main feeding artery for the submandibular gland. Method. Changes in isometric tension were recorded in organ bath studies with arterial rings, before and after carotid artery occlusion. Results. Concentration-dependent vasocontractile effect of NOR was significantly augmented after 30 and 60 min of carotid occlusion, but only in the rings with intact endothelium. Given alone, NPY showed no effect in isolated glandular branch of the rabbit facial artery, but enhanced NOR vasoconstriction in all the investigated rings. NOR vasocontractilc effect enhancement in the presence of NPY was attenuated after 30 and 60 min of carotid occlusion. Also, enhancement of NOR vasoconstriction by NPY was significantly higher in endothelium-intact rings compared to endothelium-denuded rings obtained after 30 and 60 min of carotid occlusion. Conclusion. The present investigation provides results of increased vasocontractile effect of NOR and decreased enhancing effect of NPY on NOR vasoconstriction in the rabbit facial artery after carotid occlusion that is related to altered endothelium function.

AB  - The aim of this study was to assess the effect of type 1 diabetes mellitus (induced by a single intravenous injection of 100 mg kg(-1) of alloxan) on acetylcholine (ACh)-induced relaxation in isolated rabbit parotid gland feeding artery. Isometric force measurements and quantification of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA by real-time RT-PCR were made in parotid artery rings from diabetic and control rabbits. Acetylcholine induced concentration- and endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation that was significantly decreased in parotid artery rings from diabetic rabbits. Schild analysis of the ACh vasorelaxant effect, in the presence of selective muscarinic receptor antagonists, revealed involvement of the M(3) receptor subtype in parotid artery rings from both control and diabetic rabbits, with no change in antagonist affinity constants. The inhibitory effects of indomethacin, a non-selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, and of high potassium, an inhibitor of hyperpolarization, on ACh vasorelaxation were increased. The effect of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine, a non-selective inhibitor of NOS, was decreased in diabetes. S-methylisothiourea, a selective inhibitor of iNOS, significantly reduced ACh vasorelaxation only in parotid artery rings from diabetic rabbits. Also, up-regulation of iNOS mRNA expression was detected in parotid artery rings from diabetic rabbits. These results suggest that in parotid artery rings from diabetic rabbits, impaired endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation to ACh appears to be caused by the loss of a nitric oxide-mediated component and increased iNOS expression, and is unlikely to be caused by a change at the M(3) receptor level.
