- BACKGROUND: We investigated clinical and subgingival microbiologic changes during pregnancy in 20 consecutive pregnant women > or =18 years not receiving dental care.METHODS: Bacterial samples from weeks 12, 28, and 36 of pregnancy and at 4 to 6 weeks postpartum were processed for 37 species by checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization. Clinical periodontal data were collected at week 12 and at 4 to 6 weeks postpartum, and bleeding on probing (BOP) was recorded at sites sampled at the four time points.RESULTS: The mean BOP at week 12 and postpartum was 40.1% +/- 18.2% and 27.4% +/- 12.5%, respectively. The corresponding mean BOP at microbiologic test sites was 15% (week 12) and 21% (postpartum; not statistically significant). Total bacterial counts decreased between week 12 and postpartum (P <0.01). Increased bacterial counts over time were found for Neisseria mucosa (P <0.001). Lower counts (P <0.001) were found for Capnocytophaga ochracea, Capnocytophaga sputigena, Eubacterium saburreum, Fusobacterium nucleatum naviforme, Fusobacterium nucleatum polymorphum, Leptotrichia buccalis, Parvimonas micra (previously Peptostreptococcus micros or Micromonas micros), Prevotella intermedia, Prevotella melaninogenica, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus anginosus, Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus sanguinis, Selenomonas noxia, and Veillonella parvula. No changes occurred between weeks 12 and 28 of pregnancy. Counts of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (previously Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans), Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia (previously T. forsythensis), and Treponema denticola did not change. Counts of P. gingivalis and T. forsythia at week 12 were associated with gingivitis (P <0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Subgingival levels of bacteria associated with periodontitis did not change. P. gingivalis and T. forsythia counts were associated with BOP at week 12. A decrease was found in 17 of 37 species from week 12 to postpartum. Only counts of N. mucosa increased.

- BACKGROUND: Interleukin-1 gene polymorphism (IL-1 gene) has been associated with periodontitis. The present study examined the subgingival microbiota by IL-1 gene status in subjects undergoing supportive periodontal therapy (SPT).METHODS: A total of 151 subjects with known IL-1 gene status (IL-1A +4845/IL-1B -3954) (IL-1 gene) were included in this study. Clinical data and subgingival plaque samples (40 taxa) were collected. These taxa were determined by the checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization method.RESULTS: Gender, smoking habits (n-par tests), age, and clinical periodontal conditions did not differ by IL-1 gene status. IL-1 gene-negative subjects had a higher total bacterial load (mean difference, 480.4 x 10(5); 95% confidence interval [CI], 77 to 884 x 10(5); P <0.02). The levels of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (mean difference, 30.7 x 10(5); 95% CI, 2.2 to 59.5 x 10(5); P <0.05), Eubacterium nodatum (mean difference, 4.2 x 10(5); 95% CI, 0.6 to 7.8 x 10(5); P <0.02), Porphyromonas gingivalis (mean difference, 17.9 x 10(5); 95% CI, 1.2 to 34.5 x 10(5); P <0.05), and Streptococcus anginosus (mean difference, 4.0 x 10(5); 95% CI, 0.2 to 7.2 x 10(5); P <0.05) were higher in IL-1 gene-negative subjects, an observation specifically found at sites with probing depths <5.0 mm.CONCLUSIONS: Bleeding on probing did not differ by IL gene status, reflecting clinical SPT efficacy. IL-1 gene-negative subjects had higher levels of periodontal pathogens. This may suggest that among subjects undergoing SPT, a lower bacterial load is required in IL-1 gene-positive subjects to develop the same level of periodontitis as in IL-1 gene-negative subjects.

- Two microstructure profilers, two ships, and four moorings with acoustic Doppler current profilers and conductivity-temperature loggers were used in an intensive effort to map the spatial and temporal variations of vertical mixing in the stagnant deep basin of Gullmar Fjord, Sweden. During three days in the beginning of August 2001 a continuous time series of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation profiles was obtained with one microstructure profiler at a fixed position near the deepest part of the fjord. During the same period the other microstructure profiler was used to obtain six sections of dissipation through the length of the basin. Two moorings were deployed in the fjord basin for one month from the end of July to the end of August. The mapping of dissipation rates reveals that the dissipation in the deep basin is confined to areas just inside the sill. More than 77% of the dissipation in the fjord basin happens above the sloping bottoms closest to the sill.

Tidal Energy Loss, Internal Tide Radiation, and Local Dissipation for Two-Layer Tidal Flow over a Sill

- A simple analytical model for tidal energy loss at fjord sills and its partitioning into local dissipation and radiated internal tides is presented. The analytical model builds on a two-layer assumption with quasi-steady nonlinear flow over the sill and wave radiation in the far field. When the interface is situated above sill level, upstream-and downstream-propagating internal waves are generated as the bottom-layer flow becomes partially blocked because of a hydraulic control over the sill. When this control sets in, energy is lost in the transition from supercritical flow over the sill to subcritical flow downstream of the sill. The analytical model is compared with observations at the Drobak sill in the Oslo Fjord and with idealized numerical simulations with a nonhydrostatic primitive equation model. The overall good agreement between observations, analytical model, and numerical model results indicates that the hydraulic control over the sill is a key player for both the generation of internal tides and the local energy loss. The tidal energy loss decreases with increasing height of the interface above the sill. At the same time, the fraction of energy dissipated locally increases from about 20% for the interface situated at sill level to > 50% when the upper-layer thickness is less than about 80% of the sill depth. These results correspond well with the observations in the Oslo Fjord where more energy is dissipated near the sill than is radiated away.
