Bone tissue has a significant potential for healing, which involves a significant the interplay between bone and immune cells. While fracture healing represents a useful model to investigate endochondral bone healing, intramembranous bone healing models are yet to be developed and characterized. In this study, a micro-computed tomography, histomorphometric and molecular (RealTimePCRarray) characterization of post tooth-extraction alveolar bone healing was performed on C57Bl/6 WT mice. After the initial clot dominance (0 h), the development of a provisional immature granulation tissue is evident (7 d), characterized by marked cell proliferation, angiogenesis and inflammatory cells infiltration; associated with peaks of growth factors …

INTRODUCTION:

Arcanobacterium haemolyticum (previously Corynebacterium haemolyticum), a facultative anaerobe, Gram positive rod was first isolated from United States servicemen and indigenous populations of the South Pacific in 1946. Early reported cases detailed A. haemolyticum as a causative pathogen for exudative pharyngitis (most commonly in adolescents) and cutaneous infections. Osteomyelitis caused by A. haemolyticum has been described in less than five cases in the literature. Here, we describe our experience in diagnosing patient with osteomyelitis caused by A. haemolyticum.

CASE REPORT:

A 30-year-old man with a history of peripheral neuropathy, diabetic foot ulcers, methicillin-resistant S. aureus osteomyelitis and amputation of the …

Analysis Of Multiple Cytokine Polymorphisms In Individuals With Untreated Deep Carious Lesions Reveals Il1b (Rs1143643) As A Susceptibility Factor For Periapical Lesions Development, Alisa Dill, Ariadne Letra, Letıcia Chaves De Souza, Mamatha Yadlapati, Cláudia Cristina Biguetti, Gustavo P.

Introduction

It has been proposed that individual genetic predisposition may contribute to persistent apical periodontitis. Cytokines are associated with levels of inflammation and are involved in caries, pulpal, and periapical tissue destruction. We hypothesized that polymorphisms in cytokine genes may contribute to an individual’s increased susceptibility to apical tissue destruction in response to deep carious lesions.

Methods

Subjects with deep carious lesions, with or without periapical lesions (≥ 3 mm) were recruited at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Texas at Houston. Genomic DNA samples of 316 patients were sorted into 2 groups: 136 cases with deep carious …
