Quantitative Gef??analyse im marginalen Parodont mit Hilfe von PECAM-1

BACKGROUND: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a generalized disorder of the interstitial tissues and vasculature with distinct abnormalities in three systems, immune and autoimmune, vascular and microvascular, and mesenchymal extracellular matrix (ECM), that lead to exuberant fibrosis. The aim of this study was to compare the number of blood vessel profiles in the marginal gingiva between SSc patients and patients with periodontitis but without SSc by using biopsies. METHODS: Marginal gingiva and gingival papilla were obtained from 13 scleroderma patients and 8 patients with periodontitis after routine tooth extraction and gingival curettage. On the histological sections, immunohistochemical investigations were performed using the avidin-biotin complex method (ABC) and the monoclonal antibody CD 31/Clone JC70A (platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1). Blood vessels were identified by light microscopy (original magnification x400) and counted within 0.3615 mm2. Medians of blood vessel profiles were compared by Mann-Whitney U-test. RESULTS: There is no statistical difference between the median of blood vessel profiles in the marginal gingiva of SSc patients as compared to the median of blood vessel profiles in the marginal gingiva of patients with periodontitis (P = 0.665). We did not discover avascular areas in the subepithelial connective tissue. DISCUSSION: The pathological changes in the microvasculature in the dermis of SSc patients are not transferable to the marginal periodont, as intraindividual histological examinations of dermis and oral mucosa in relation to the degree of the disease are not available yet.

The mutation of insulin receptor substrate-1 gene in Chines e patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus

Objective To identify the relationship between mutation in the insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) gene and the incidence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in the Chinese population. Methods Samples were obtained from 68 Chinese patients with NIDDM and 68 control subjects. The +1700～+4437 bp fragment of the IRS-1 gene was screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. All SSCP variations were submitted to DNA sequence analysis. Results Two amino acid variations ［GGG →AGG(G(971) R) and CCT→TCT(P(1079) S)］ and 3 silent mutations ［GAT→GAC(D(422) D), CCA→CCC(P(737) P) and GCA→GCG(A(804) A)］ were identified, among which the CCA→CCC(P(737) P) and CCT→TCT(P(1079) S) have not been previously reported. All five variations were found in Chinese patients with NIDDM, while GCA→GCG(A(804) A) was the only one found in control subjects. The overall incidence of the five variations in Chinese patients with NIDDM were much higher than that in control subjects (38.2% vs 7.4%, χ(2)=18.42,P<0.01). The most common polymorphism in the Chinese population was GCA→GCG(A(804) A), and its frequency was significantly higher in Chinese patients with NIDDM than in controls (26.5% vs 7.4%, χ(2)=8.84,P<0.01). The homozygotes of the variation in patients with NIDDM and control subjects were 8.8% and 1.5%, respectively (χ(2)=2.41,P>0.05). Conclusion These results indicate that there may be a relation between these nucleotide variations of IRS-1 gene and Chinese patients with NIDDM     

Relationship between serum or tissue ouabain and blood pressure in 1k1c hypert ensive rats

Objective To evaluate the role of endogenous ouabain (EO) in the development of hypertension and the characteristics of EO secretion in 1k1c (one kidney, one clipped) hypertensive rats. Methods EO content of serum and tissues in 1k1c hypertensive rats and normal control Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats was detected by the method of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The relationship between serum or tissue ouabain and blood pressure was analyzed in 1k1c hypertensive rats. Results The ouabain content of serum, heart, kidney, adrenal gland, pituitary and hypothalamus was significantly higher in 1k1c hypertensive rats than that in normal control SD rats (2.25, 2.63, 3.35, 40.37, 3.34, 15.7 μg/kg tissue in 1k1c hypertensive rats vs 1.12, 1.79, 1.73, 27.54, 1.83, 10.10 μg/kg tissue in control SD rats, respectively. P<0.05 for all of these comparisons). The ouabain content of the adrenal gland and the hypothalamus was higher than that of other tissues or serum, both in 1k1c rats and in control SD rats. The EO content of serum, kidney and hypothalamus was significantly correlated with blood pressure in 1k1c hypertensive rats (r=0.59, 0.63, 0.52, respectively. P<0.05). The ouabain content of heart, liver, adrenal gland and pituitary was not correlated with blood pressure. Conclusions EO might play an important role in the development of hypertension in 1k1c hypertensive rats. The adrenal gland may be a major source of EO and the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis may be involved in the regulation of EO secretion.
