  2. 6. Cyclosporin A-induced gingival overgrowth in renal transplant patients : a clinical, histological and experimental study

    Author : Biniyam Wondimu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : cyclosporin A gingival overgrowth gingival fibroblasts nephrotoxicity renal transplant saliva;

    Abstract : Cyclosporine A (CsA) is widely used as an effective immunosuppressive agent to prevent rejection of organ transplants, as well as in the treatment of patients with various autoimmune diseases. The clinical use of CsA, however, is associated with adverse side effects, including nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, hypertension, and neurotoxicity as well as gingival overgrowth. READ MORE

  4. 7. Expression of prostaglandin E synthase-1 in periodontitis : in vivo and in vitro studies

    Author : Anna Kats; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth, including gingival tissues and alveolar bone. In advanced cases of periodontitis the ultimate clinical outcome is tooth loss. READ MORE

  5. 8. Periodontal implications of Salvadora persica L

    Author : Reham A Al-Babtain; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Periodontal disease is a major public health problem throughout the world and is the most common cause of tooth loss in adults. For periodontitis to develop, specific gram-negative, anaerobic bacteria must predominate in the subgingival microflora, but simple the presence of these bacteria is insufficient to cause periodontal disease as disease progression involves a complex, sequential relationship between infection, inflammation and tissue destruction.

  6. 9. Cellular responses to titanium surfaces blasted with TiO2 particles

    Author : Kamal Mustafa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A major determinant of successful osseointegration of endosseous implants is the surface topography of the implant, which influences the cellular response of the surrounding tissues. This series of experimental studies investigated cellular responses to surface modifications of titanium implant material. READ MORE

  7. 10. Outer membrane vesicle-mediated export of virulence factors from Gram-negative bacteria

    Author : Pramod Kumar Rompikuntal; Sun Nyunt Wai; Ann-Beth Jonsson; Umeå universitet; []
