  • Factors behind change in knowledge after a mass media campaign targeting periodontitis
  • 2006
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Dental Hygiene. - 1601-5029 .- 1601-5037. ; 4:1, s. 8-14

    • The aim of this study was to investigate changes in knowledge before and after a mass media campaign, in relation to social attributes, care system attributes and oral health aspects. The study was based on a questionnaire in a cohort design, sent out to 900 randomly sampled people aged 50–75 in Sweden. The response rate to the questionnaire before and after the campaign was 70% and 65% respectively. Sixty-four percent answered both questionnaires. Two questions addressed knowledge, while 10 questions aimed to measure social attributes, care system attributes and oral health aspects. Data were analysed for bivariate relations as to change in knowledge and social attributes, care system attributes and oral health aspects. Data were also analysed in multiple regression analysis with knowledge before, knowledge after and knowledge differences as dependent variables. The results showed that there were a number of independent variables with influence on the dependent variables. Of the social attributes, secondary education gave almost 10% (P < 0.001) better knowledge both before and after the campaign. Among care system attributes, high care utilization was related to knowledge both before and after the campaign. The most important factors for knowledge about periodontitis were education, care utilization and perceived importance of oral health. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that mass media might increase knowledge about periodontitis as a health promotion strategy.

  • Medial Expression of TNF-α and TNF Receptors Precedes the Development of Atherosclerotic Lesions in Apolipoprotein E/LDL Receptor Double Knockout Mice
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Biomedical Science. - 1550-9702 .- 1555-2810. ; 3:2, s. 117-123

    • TNF-α is present in atherosclerotic lesions, activates endothelial adhesion molecule expression, stimulates the release of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases and promotes smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration. Taken together these observations suggest that TNF-α may be functionally involved in early atherosclerosis development. To further evaluate this hypothesis we compared vascular TNF-α and TNF receptor expression in atherosclerosis-susceptible apoE-/-/LDL receptor-/- mice and control C57BL/6 mice. The aortas of 8 week old apoE-/-/LDLreceptor-/- mice displayed immunoreactivity for TNF-α as well as TNF p55 and p75 receptors (2.1 ± 1.6%, 5.6 ± 1.5% and 3.6 ± 1.3% of total media area, respectively), but did not have any detectable lesions. A marginal increase in TNF-α and TNF receptor immunoreactivity was observed at 12 weeks and atherosclerotic plaques were detected in 1 out of 5 animals. At 16 weeks TNF-α expression in the media was increased more than four-fold as compared with 8 week old mice, and atherosclerosis was widespread. TNF-α immunoreactivity was also observed in all plaques. In addition, at the same age a tendency towards increased TNF-α mRNA levels was detected in the double knockout mice compared to age-matched controls. A further increase in TNF-α and TNF receptor immunoreactivity as well as plaque size was observed at 20 weeks. With only a few exceptions, no TNF-α or TNF receptor immunoreactivity was detected in C57BL/6 control mice. These findings demonstrate that medial TNF-α and TNF receptor expression precedes lesion formation in apoE-/-/LDL receptor-/- mice.

  • Atrioventricular plane displacement is the major contributor to left ventricular pumping in healthy adults, athletes, and patients with dilated cardiomyopathy
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: American Journal of Physiology: Heart and Circulatory Physiology. - : American Physiological Society. - 1522-1539 .- 0363-6135. ; 292:3, s. 1452-1459

    • Previous studies using echocardiography in healthy subjects have reported conflicting data regarding the percentage of the stroke volume ( SV) of the left ventricle ( LV) resulting from longitudinal and radial function, respectively. Therefore, the aim was to quantify the percentage of SV explained by longitudinal atrioventricular plane displacement ( AVPD) in controls, athletes, and patients with decreased LV function due to dilated cardiomyopathy ( DCM). Twelve healthy subjects, 12 elite triathletes, and 12 patients with DCM and ejection fraction below 30% were examined by cine magnetic resonance imaging. AVPD and SV were measured in long- and short- axis images, respectively. The percentage of the SV explained by longitudinal function ( SVAVPD%) was calculated as the mean epicardial area of the largest short- axis slices in end diastole multiplied by the AVPD and divided by the SV. SV was higher in athletes [ 140 +/- 4 ml ( mean +/- SE), P = 0.009] and lower in patients ( 72 +/- 7 ml, P < 0.001) when compared with controls ( 116 +/- 6 ml). AVPD was similar in athletes ( 17 +/- 1 mm, P = 0.45) and lower in patients ( 7 +/- 1 mm, P = 0.001) when compared with controls ( 16 +/- 0 mm). SVAVPD% was similar both in athletes ( 57 +/- 2%, P = 0.51) and in patients ( 67 +/- 4%, P = 0.24) when compared with controls ( 60 +/- 2%). In conclusion, longitudinal AVPD is the primary contributor to LV pumping and accounts for similar to 60% of the SV. Although AVPD is less than half in patients with DCM when compared with controls and athletes, the contribution of AVPD to LV function is maintained, which can be explained by the larger short- axis area in DCM.

  • Effects of amphetamine on salivary secretion
  • 2009

    • Amphetamine induces xerogenic effects, but its mechanism of action and xerogenic potency are unknown. In the current in vivo study on the rat parotid gland, the effects of amphetamine on reflex-evoked and acetylcholine-evoked salivation were examined in the absence and presence of adrenergic and dopaminergic antagonists. Under anaesthesia, amphetamine increased the secretion of salivary fluid and the amount of protein therein in response to acetylcholine. Phentolamine abolished the increase in salivary flow and had no effect on the salivary protein concentration, whereas propranolol only reduced the salivary protein concentration. Reflex activation of the secretion evoked a well-maintained level of secretion that was reduced by amphetamine [50% inhibitory dose (ID50) 1.9 ± 0.1 mg kg−1 intravenously); the salivary protein concentration was increased in the presence of amphetamine. Phentolamine and haloperidol reduced the amphetamine-inhibitory effect on the reflex-evoked fluid response, whereas propranolol had no effect on the fluid response. The xerogenic effect of amphetamine is mainly exerted by central mechanisms involving α-adrenoceptors, while, indirectly, amphetamine causes secretion of protein by inducing the release of noradrenaline from glandular nerve terminals.

  • The xerogenic potency and mechanism of action of tramadol inhibition of salivary secretion in rats.
  • 2004

    • Tramadol is a centrally acting analgesic with weak opioid agonist properties, which also has monoaminergic activity, exerted via inhibition of neuronal uptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. Tramadol is generally well tolerated and the most common adverse events are nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, sweating, vomiting and dry mouth. Currently it was examined by which principal mechanism tramadol induces oral dryness. The effects of intravenous administration (+/-)-tramadol were studied in rats on the flow of saliva in response to a peripheral cholinergic stimulus or to reflex activation involving the relay of impulses in the central nervous system. In pentobarbitone-anaesthetized rats, the salivary secretion to acetylcholine (0.1-10 micromol/kg IV) was increased by up to 110% by tramadol (1-5 mg/kg IV) and the protein concentration therein by up to 400%. The administration alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor antagonists resulted in almost identical acetylcholine-evoked responses as in the absence of tramadol. The secretory response to the application of citric acid on the tongue of the rat was reduced by 38% and by 64%, respectively, at 5 and 10 mg/kg IV of tramadol (p < 0.05-0.01). Thus, tramadol exerts its principal xerogenic effect by activating inhibitory pathways in the central nervous system and has no anticholinergic effect on the salivary glands at dosages that may be clinically relevant. Furthermore, the tramadol-induced increase of the acetylcholine-evoked secretion occurred at a glandular level and depended most likely on a release of noradrenaline from glandular nerve terminals.

  • Optimization of sample preparation for transporter protein quantification in tissues by LC–MS/MS
  • 2019

    • Background: Reproducible quantification of drug transporter protein expression in tissues is important for predicting transporter mediated drug disposition. Many mass-spectrometry based transporter protein quantification methods result in high variability of the estimated transporter quantities. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate and optimize mass spectrometry-based quantification method for drug transporter proteins in tissues. Materials and methods: Plasma membrane (PM) proteins from mouse tissues were isolated by applying three extraction protocols: commercial plasma membrane extraction kit, tissue homogenization by Potter-Elvehjem homogenizer in combination with sucrose-cushion ultracentrifugation, and PM enrichment with Tween 40. Moreover, five different protein digestion protocols were applied on the same PM fraction. PM isolation and digestion protocols were evaluated by measuring the amount of transporter proteins by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in selected reaction monitoring mode. Results: Mouse liver homogenization by Potter-Elvehjem homogenizer in combination with sucrose-cushion ultracentrifugation and PM enrichment with Tween 40 resulted in two times higher transporter protein quantity (Breast cancer resistance protein (Bcrp) 18.0 fmol/μg protein) in comparison with the PM samples isolated by extraction kit (Bcrp 9.8 fmol/μg protein). The evaluation of protein digestion protocols revealed that the most optimal protocol for PM protein digestion is with Lys-C and trypsin, in combination with trypsin enhancer and heat denaturation. Overall, quantities of Bcrp and Na+/K + ATPase proteins evaluated in mouse liver and kidney cortex by using our optimized PM isolation method, as well as, established digestion protocol were two to three times higher than previously reported and coefficient of variation (CV) for technical replicates was below 10%. Conclusion: We have established an improved transporter protein quantification methodology by optimizing PM isolation and protein digestion procedures. The optimized procedure resulted in a higher transporter protein yield and improved precision.

  • Immunocytochemical demonstration of estrogen receptor beta in human periodontal ligament cells.
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Archives of Oral Biology. - 1879-1506 .- 0003-9969. ; 49:1, s. 85-88
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Two transcription associated estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes have been identified and named ERα and ERβ. In the present study we investigate the expression of these ER subtypes in cultured human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells by immunocytochemistry. ERβ immunoreactivity was observed in the nuclei of about 40% of the PDL cells, while no ERα immunoreactivity was detected. In human breast cancer MCF-7 cells, serving as positive controls, both ERα and ERβ immunoreactivities were demonstrated. No immunoreactivity was observed after omission of the primary antibodies. This study suggests that estrogen acts on gene transcription preferentially via ERβ in human PDL cells.

  • LPS-induced MCP-1 and IL-6 production is not reversed by oestrogen in human periodontal ligament cells.
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: Archives of Oral Biology. - : Elsevier BV. - 1879-1506 .- 0003-9969. ; Jun 11, s. 896-902

    • OBJECTIVE: Periodontal ligament (PDL) cells express oestrogen receptors but the functional importance of oestrogen in PDL cells exposed to bacterial endotoxins is not known. Here we investigate if the inflammation promoter lipopolysaccharide (LPS) affects PDL cell production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), C-reactive protein (CRP) and/or normal functional PDL cell characteristics such as collagen synthesis and cell proliferation and if oestrogen modulates the effects of LPS. METHODS: PDL cells were obtained from periodontal ligament of premolars. PDL cells were treated with Escherichia coli LPS in the absence or presence of oestrogen (17beta-oestradiol, E(2)). Cellular concentration of IL-6, MCP-1 and CRP was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Collagen synthesis was determined by l-[(3)H]proline incorporation. Cell proliferation was assessed by DNA synthesis measurement using [(3)H]thymidine incorporation. RESULTS: Stimulation with LPS (500ng/ml to 10mug/ml) increased IL-6 production in a concentration-dependent manner. Lower concentration (100ng/ml) of LPS had no effect. LPS-induced stimulation of IL-6 was not reversed by a physiologically high concentration (100nM) of E(2). LPS increased also MCP-1 production which was unaffected by E(2). Treatment with E(2) alone had no effect on either IL-6 or MCP-1. Stimulation with LPS had no effect on CRP. LPS did not affect collagen synthesis and cell proliferation, reflecting normal physiological properties of PDL cells. CONCLUSIONS: LPS stimulates PDL cell IL-6 and MCP-1 production but has no effect on the normal physiological properties of PDL cells. LPS-induced IL-6 and MCP-1 is not reversed by oestrogen suggesting that oestrogen exerts no anti-inflammatory effect via this mechanism.

  • Antibiotic prophylaxis in oral healthcare - the agreement between Swedish recommendations and evidence.
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: British Dental Journal. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1476-5373 .- 0007-0610. ; 208:3, s. 5-115

    • BACKGROUND: Almost all (17/20) Swedish counties have pharmaceutical committees that establish recommendations for the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in oral healthcare.Objective To evaluate the evidence for the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in oral healthcare and the agreement between Swedish recommendations and evidence. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a systematic literature search in PubMed and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register. The MeSH terms 'antibiotic prophylaxis' and 'dentistry' were used in the database search. Abstracts were reviewed according to specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 186 articles were read in full text by the four authors independently. Data extraction and interpretation of data was carried out using a pre-defined protocol. In the end, one case-control study was included for evaluation of evidence. RESULTS: The case-control study included patients with specific cardiac conditions. The study reported a 49% protective efficacy (odds ratio: 0.51) of antibiotic prophylaxis for first-time episodes of endocarditis within 30 days of procedure. This result was not statistically significant. The quality of the evidence was low. No studies were evaluated on patients with other medical conditions. The recommendations included several cardiac and other medical conditions for which there is a lack of evidence or no evidence to support the use of antibiotic prophylaxis.CONCLUSIONS: There is a lack of evidence to support the use of antibiotic prophylaxis. To avoid the risk of adverse events from antibiotics and the risk of developing resistant bacterial strains, the use of antibiotic prophylaxis should be minimised and recommendations in Sweden should be revised to be more evidence-based.
