Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with high overall cortactin expression were associated with reduced 5-year survival. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified high cortactin expression to be an independent prognostic factor in OTSCC.

An antibody array was performed using GCF collected from healthy participants and patients with periodontitis to identify the proteolytic enzymes involved in periodontitis. Of 21 targets on the antibody array membrane, kallikrein 6 (KLK6), kallikrein 10 (KLK10), cathepsin A (CathA), and cathepsin D (CathD) showed higher levels in periodontitis GCF than in GCF from healthy participants.

Osteoclast formation was promoted by treatment with conditioned media from PG-LPS- treated immortalized gingival fibroblasts but inhibited by the CathD inhibitor pepstatin A.

The aim of the present study was to determine whether local administration of EPA to adult male Wistar rats could attenuate the excitability of the jaw-opening reflex in vivo, including nociception. The jaw-opening reflex evoked by electrical stimulation of the tongue was recorded by a digastric muscle electromyogram (dEMG) in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats. The amplitude of the dEMG response was significantly increased in proportion to the electrical stimulation intensity (1×–5× threshold). At 3×, local administration of EPA dose-dependently inhibited the dEMG response, lasting 60 min, with maximum inhibition observed within approximately 10 min. The mean magnitude of dEMG signal inhibition by EPA was almost equal to that observed with a local anesthetic, 1% lidocaine, and with a half dose of lidocaine plus a half dose of EPA. These findings suggest that EPA attenuates the jaw-opening reflex, possibly by blocking Nav channels of primary nerve terminals, and strongly support the idea that EPA is a potential therapeutic agent and complementary alternative medicine for the prevention of acute trigeminal nociception.</p>","PeriodicalId":11983,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Oral Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9172560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
