The Mutational Profile of Unicystic Ameloblastoma
BRAF V600E is the most common mutation in conventional ameloblastoma (AM) of the mandible. In contrast, maxillary AMs appear to harbor more frequently RAS, FGFR2, or SMO mutations. Unicystic ameloblastoma (UAM) is considered ...
Symptom severity in burning mouth syndrome associates with psychological factors
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) patients are psychologically distressed, but whether this associates with symptom severity is unclear. The aim was to investigate the association of psychological factors with pain intensity ...

Analysis of Chemical Structure and Antibiofilm Properties of Exopolysaccharides from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum EIR/IF-1 Postbiotics
<p>Previous studies have indicated that the exopolysaccharides of lactic acid bacteria exhibit antibiofilm activity against non-oral bacteria by preventing their initial adhesion to surfaces and by downregulating the expression of genes responsible for their biofilm formation. The aims of this study were to (1) characterize the exopolysaccharides (EPSs) of Lactobacillus plantarum EIR/IF-1 postbiotics, (2) test their antibiofilm effect on dual biofilms, and (3) evaluate their bacterial auto-aggregation, co-aggregation, and hydrocarbon-binding inhibitory activity. The EPSs were characterized by FTIR, HPLC, and thermogravimetric analysis. Bacterial auto- and co-aggregation were tested by Kolenbrander's method and hydrocarbon binding was tested by Rosenberg's method. Dual biofilms were formed by culturing Fusobacterium nucleatum ATCC 25586 with one of the following bacteria: Prevotella denticola ATCC 33185, P. denticola AHN 33266, Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277, P. gingivalis AHN 24155, and Filifactor alocis ATCC 35896. The EPSs contained fractions with different molecular weights (51 and 841 kDa) and monosaccharides of glucose, galactose, and fructose. The EPSs showed antibiofilm activity in all the biofilm models tested. The EPSs may have inhibited bacterial aggregation and binding to hydrocarbons by reducing bacterial hydrophobicity. In conclusion, the EPSs of L. plantarum EIR/IF-1, which consists of two major fractions, exhibited antibiofilm activity against oral bacteria, which can be explained by the inhibitory effect of EPSs on the auto-aggregation and co-aggregation of bacteria and their binding to hydrocarbons.<br></p>...
Neurophysiology and genetics of burning mouth syndrome
<p>Background and aims: Neuropathic mechanisms are involved in burning mouth syndrome (BMS), and variation of the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) gene contributes to experimental pain perception. We investigated whether ...
TiO2 Coating and UV Photofunctionalization Enhance Blood Coagulation on Zirconia Surfaces
This in vitro study was designed to evaluate the effect of sol-gel derived TiO2 coating on blood coagulation, blood protein adsorption, and platelet response on zirconia surfaces. Square-shaped zirconia (n=96) (10x10x2 mm) ...
Cranioplasty After Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Effects of Trauma and Patient Recovery on Cranioplasty Outcome
Background: In patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) treated with decompressive craniectomy (DC), factors affecting the success of later cranioplasty are poorly known.Objective: We sought to investigate if ...
