  2. 1. Periodontitis and coronary artery disease : Studies on the association between periodontitis and coronary artery disease

    Author : Carin Starkhammar Johansson; Arina Richter; Nils Ravald; Björn Klinge; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Periodontitis and coronary artery disease (CAD) are highly prevalent in Sweden’s population; both diseases have complicated pathogeneses and clinical manifestations due to immune-system triggered inflammation. Research in recent years reported that inflammation is a significant active participant in many chronic diseases. READ MORE

    Keywords : Crohn´s disease;

    Abstract : Dental caries and periodontal diseases are the most common oral diseases worldwide. They are multifactorial diseases which include several risk factors. READ MORE

  5. 3. Transcriptional patterns in inflammatory disease

    Author : Johan Lindberg; Joakim Lundeberg; Eivind Hovig; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gene expression profiling; transcription; microarray; rheumatoid arthritis; synovial tissue; variability; TNF‐α; anti‐TNF treatment; periodontitis; PGE2; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : In the studies this thesis is based upon, microarrays were applied to profilemRNA populations in biological samples to gain insights into transcriptionalpatterns and their relation to inflammatory disease.Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease, which leads todegradation of cartilage and bone.

  6. 4. Prostaglandin E synthases in periodontitis-affected gingival tissue and in gingival fibroblasts

    Author : Tove Båge; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : c-Jun N-terminal kinase;

    Abstract : Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease resulting in the destruction of the tissue and alveolar bone supporting the teeth and leading ultimately to tooth loss. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an important inflammatory mediator in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Associations between oral biofilm, periodontal disease, and systemic health : with a focus on atherosclerosis and breast cancer

    Author : Maha Yakob; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : periodontal disease;

    Abstract : The general hypothesis of this series of studies was that oral infections, particularly periodontal disease, by triggering inflammatory reactions detrimentally affect systemic health where inflammations are known to play a role in the pathogenesis, namely cardiovascular disease and cancer. Consequently, the general aim was to study the association between oral biofilm and certain oral micro-organisms, periodontal disease, and selected inflammatory markers with a focus on atherosclerosis and breast cancer (BC).
