Epub 2017 Nov 7. PMID: 29116611 Abstract Title:  Anti-inflammatory effects of low-level laser therapy on human periodontal ligament cells: in vitro study. Abstract:  Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that is commonly treated with surgical and nonsurgical techniques. However, both approaches have limitations. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been widely applied in reducing inflammatory reactions, and research indicates that LLLT induces an anti-inflammatory effect that may enhance periodontal disease therapy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of LLLT on human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) in an inflammatory environment and aimed to determine the possible mechanism of action. Cells were cultured and treated with or without lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Porphryromonas gingivalis or Escherichia coli, followed by irradiation with a gallium-aluminum-arsenide (GaAlAs) laser (660 nm) at an energy density of 8 J/cm2. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions were used to assess the expression of pro-inflammatory genes, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-8. The dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to examine nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) transcriptional activity. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to monitor the concentration of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Both LPS treatments significantly induced the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, LLLT inhibited the LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and elevated intracellular levels of cAMP. The LLLT inhibitory effect may function by downregulating NF-κB transcriptional activity and by increasing the intracellular levels of cAMP. LLLT might inhibit LPS-induced inflammation in hPDLCs through cAMP/NF-κB regulation. These results should be further studied to improve periodontal therapy. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/low-level-laser-therapy-had-anti-inflammatory-effects-human-periodontal-ligame#comments Periodontal Diseases Anti-Inflammatory Agents Laser Treatment: Low-Level Anti-Inflammatory Agents Laser Treatment: Low-Level Periodontal Diseases In Vitro Study Tue, 28 Nov 2017 06:48:11 +0000 greenmedinfo 156578 at https://greenmedinfo.com The results showed that β-caryophyllene has antimicrobial activity against the proliferation of dog's dental plaque-forming bacteria. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/results-showed-caryophyllene-has-antimicrobial-activity-against-proliferation- n/a PMID:  BMC Vet Res. 2016 Oct 1 ;12(1):216. Epub 2016 Oct 1. PMID: 27716286 Abstract Title:  Use ofβ-caryophyllene to combat bacterial dental plaque formation in dogs. Abstract:  BACKGROUND: Periodontal disease is a highly prevalent illness that affects many dogs, reaching up to 85 % prevalence in individuals over the age of 4 years. Currently the drug of choice for combating the formation of dental plaque in these animals, the etiologic agent of the disease, is chlorhexidine, which has several side effects reported. Thus, surveys are conducted throughout the world in orderto identify potential substitutes for antimicrobial therapy and prevention of periodontal disease. The objective of the work was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of β-caryophyllene against bacteria from dog&#039;s dental plaque in vitro and in vivo. The minimum inhibitory concentration was evaluated by agar microdilution assay, the induction or inhibition of bacterial adherence by sub-inhibitory concentrations in 96-well plates, and reduction of dental plaque formation in mongrel dogs subjected to topical solution with β-caryophyllene for 15 days. RESULTS: Results showed minimum inhibitory concentrations above 100 mg/mL for 25 % of the isolates, 100 mg/mL for 3 %, 50 mg/mL for 25 %, 25 mg/mL for 12 %, 12.5 mg/mL for 19 % and 6.25 mg/mL for 16 %. Bacterial adherences of three Enterococcus sp., one Streptococcus sp., one Haemophilus sp., one Aerococcus sp., one Bacillus sp. and one Lactococcus sp.isolates were inhibited by subinhibitory concentration. One Lactococcus sp., one Bacillus sp. and one Streptococcus sp. were stimulated to adhere by concentrations of 0.19, 1.56 and 0.78 mg/mL, respectively. In vivo assay showed reduction in dental plaque formation by β-caryophyllene, with final plaque coverage of 23.3 ± 2.6 % of the total area of the teeth, with significant difference compared with chlorhexidine group (37.5 ± 3.7 % - p &lt; 0.05) and negative control group (65.5 ± 2.5 % - p &lt; 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The results showed thatβ-caryophyllene has antimicrobial activity against the proliferation of dog&#039;s dental plaque-forming bacteria representing a suitable alternative to the use of chlorhexidine in prophylaxis and treatment of periodontal disease of dogs. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/results-showed-caryophyllene-has-antimicrobial-activity-against-proliferation-#comments Beta-Caryophyllene Dental Plaque Periodontal Diseases Anti-Bacterial Agents Anti-Bacterial Agents Caryophyllene Dental Plaque Periodontal Diseases Animal Study Tue, 16 Jan 2018 17:31:06 +0000 greenmedinfo 158462 at https://greenmedinfo.com
