Identification Of Serum Anti-Carbamylated Protein Antibodies In Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients With Periodontitis: A Pilot Study, Shruthi Venu Gopal

Student Works (2020-2029)

Objectives: In chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), carbamylation may cause the production of autoantibodies such as the anti-carbamylated protein antibody (anti-CarP) and protein malfunctioning. However, its relation to periodontitis (PD) remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the serum levels of anti-carbamylated protein antibodies (anti-CarP) in four groups of participants, the RAPD, RA, PD, and healthy groups and correlate the findings with rheumatological parameters. Materials and methods: This pilot study included a total of 20 participants, with 5 participants each in groups diagnosed with RA and PD (RAPD), only RA, only PD and controls who were free …

Mageb2 Antibody As Potential Diagnostic And Predictive Tool In The Progression Of Oral Cancer, Awang Hasyim Noratikah

Student Works (2020-2029)

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents more than 90% of all oral cancer. Despite advances in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, mortality and morbidity rates have not improved in the last decade. Hence, alternative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Cancer testes antigens (CTA) are proteins that are expressed in various malignant tumours but its expression in normal tissue is restricted to testes and occasionally placental trophoblast. Due to its exclusive presence in different types of malignant tumors, and their ability to trigger immune responses, CTA are considered promising biomarkers for cancer vaccines. A previous protein array study reported …

Student Works (2020-2029)

Introduction: Varied alterations in types of secreted mucin may affect the regulation of cell growth, immune response and adhesion of cell. These changes may indirectly contribute to the ability of tumour invasion and metastasis. However, the expression of mucins in salivary gland tumours has not been explored in depth. Objectives: To investigate expressions of mucin in the salivary gland tumour microenvironment and make comparisons between benign and malignant, and minor and major salivary gland tumours. Methods: Special stains were used to stain neutral mucin (Periodic acid Schiff), sialomucin (Alcian Blue) and sulfomucin (Aldehyde Fuschin) within tissues from 6 normal salivary …


Investigation Of Inflammatory Responses Following The Use Of Novel Anisotropic Hydrogel Tissue Expander In The Skin Of Maxillofacial Region, Salim Igdayir Kholoud Mohamed Ali Jan 2020

Investigation Of Inflammatory Responses Following The Use Of Novel Anisotropic Hydrogel Tissue Expander In The Skin Of Maxillofacial Region, Salim Igdayir Kholoud Mohamed Ali

Student Works (2020-2029)

Background: The purpose of tissue expander is to grow healthy supplementary tissue under the controlled of mechanical force exerted by the tissue expander. In the field of reconstructive and plastic surgery, the use of soft tissue expanders are important for growing healthy supplementary tissue. However, the molecular mechanism associated with the inflammatory response associated with the force generated from the use of tissue expanders is still not characterized. Among the many types of tissue expanders, anisotropic type of hydrogel tissue expander was chosen due to its ability to produce controlled incremental inflation on the tissue that enhance cellular adaptation and …

Polymicrobial Interactions Between Selected Microbes Of Oral Biofilm And Differential Expression Of Als Genes And Their Related Proteins, Fahim Ayesha

Student Works (2020-2029)

More than 700 different types of microorganisms dwell in human oral mucosal surfaces. The interactions between these microorganisms contribute to formation of polymicrobial communities on hard and soft tissues as well as on dentures and implants. Candida albicans, a pleomorphic fungus inhabiting oral and gastrointestinal (GIT) mucosa becomes pathogenic in favourable conditions causing local or systemic disease. Since streptococci are early colonisers, the ability of Candida albicans to adhere to streptococci paves the way for an additional surface for candidal colonization and propagation. This study was aimed to investigate polymicrobial interactions between C. albicans, S. sanguinis and S. mitis on …

Student Works (2020-2029)

Introduction: Human deciduous periodontal ligament stem cells represent as another source of stem cells from the dental origin. These cells were shown to have multi-potential attributes and also self renewing ability. These easily accessible stem cells candidate could also resolve issues concerning ethical and compatability for the use in regenerative purposes. However, their efficiency towards hepatic lineage differentiation has not been addressed so far. Meanwhile, the main contributor for regenerative properties were supposedly mediated by soluble factors and extracellular vesicles such as exosomes secreted by cells. Objectives: The aims of this study are to isolate, characterize and also to investigate …

A Three Dimensional Age Estimation Using Cone Beam Ct In Malaysian Population, Asif Muhammad Khan Jan 2020

A Three Dimensional Age Estimation Using Cone Beam Ct In Malaysian Population, Asif Muhammad Khan

Student Works (2020-2029)

Forensic odontology plays a vital role in the age estimation and identification process during criminal investigations. Forensic science in the past have mainly employed two-dimensional (2D) radiographic assessment of developmental and physiological age related dental parameters for age estimation. However, 2D radiograph doesn’t represent the three-dimensional (3D) anatomical structures. Rapidly evolving CBCT imaging modality can be effectively employed in forensic sciences to overcome the limitations of 2D imaging. The current study aimed to develop a novel method of dental age estimation using 3D surface area analyses of root apices of the developing permanent maxillary canines and mandibular third molars among …

Student Works (2020-2029)

The association of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) and defensin beta 1 (DEFB1) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) with chronic periodontitis (CP) have been widely studied amongst different ethnic groups such as the Chinese and European population. Thus far, no study has been done on the Malay ethnic group. Hence, this study assessed the allele and genotype frequencies of PTGS2 and DEFB1 variants in subjects with CP and periodontally healthy individuals in Malaysian Malays. Samples of 78 Malay CP subjects and 62 periodontally healthy controls were obtained from Malaysian Periodontal Database and Biobanking system (MPDBS) for this study. DNA samples were genotyped …

Student Works (2020-2029)

Oral cancer is one of the major health concerns worldwide. The 5-year survival rate of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has remained at approximately 50% over the past decades. Most OSCCs are diagnosed at an advanced stage due to the delay in diagnosis, suggesting an imperative need in identifying reliable biomarkers to improve the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of OSCC. This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers that are involved in the development and progression of OSCC using integrated proteomics and glycoproteomics analyses. Proteomics analysis was performed on serum samples of 10 patients with oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD), 40 …

About 700 species of bacteria can inhabit the human oral cavity. This project initially investigated the bacterial diversity within the oral cavity of Malaysian subjects by using culture-dependent techniques and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The second part of the research profiled the antibiotic resistance of the identified oral bacteria by the Etest method. Three sampling sites of the oral cavity from nine healthy subjects were analyzed: the tooth surface, gingival crevice, and dorsum of the tongue. The tooth surface was shown to harbor 41 species, gingival crevice harbored 51 species and tongue dorsum 41 species. On average, each subject carried …

Student Works (2010-2019)

Introduction Oral cancer is a significant health problem worldwide with almost 300,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Despite the numerous studies done, and even with the best treatment option utilized, more than 50% of patients with oral cancer will experience relapse. In search for better options for prognostication, researches are now focusing on the molecular biology of cancer, for instance in search of reliable tumor markers. Among the markers reported in the literatures, Cyclin D1 is actively studied protein. Cyclin D1 regulates the cell cycle progression by forming a complex with different cyclin dependant kinase. Dysregulation of cyclin D1 …
