Salivary Proteins and Metabolites as Caries Biomarkers in Adolescents

- INTRODUCTION: The identification of salivary molecules that can be associated to dental caries could provide insights about caries risk and offer valuable information to develop caries prediction models. However, the search for a universal caries biomarker has proven elusive due to the multifactorial nature of this oral disease. We have therefore performed a systematic effort to identify caries-associated metabolites and proteins in saliva samples from adolescents that had a caries experience and those that were caries-free.METHODS: Quantification of approximately 100 molecules was performed by the use of a wide range of techniques, ranging from nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics to ELISA, Luminex or colorimetric assays, as well as clinical features like plaque accumulation and gingival index. In addition, simplified dietary and oral hygiene habits questionnaires were also obtained.RESULTS: The caries-free group had significantly lower consumption of sweetened beverages and higher tooth brushing frequency. Surprisingly, very few compounds were found to individually provide discriminatory power between caries-experienced and caries-free individuals. The data analysis revealed several potential reasons that could underly this lack of association value with caries, including differences in metabolite concentrations throughout the day, a lack of correlation between metabolite concentrations in plaque and saliva, or sex-related differences, among others. However, when multiple compounds were combined by multivariate analysis and random forest modeling, a combination of 3-5 compounds were found to provide good prediction models for morning (with an AUC accuracy of 0.87) and especially afternoon samples (AUC = 0.93).CONCLUSION: While few salivary biomarkers could differentiate between caries-free and caries-experienced adolescents, a combination of markers proved effective, particularly in afternoon samples. To predict caries risk, these biomarkers should be validated in larger cohorts and longitudinal settings, considering factors such as gender differences, and variations in oral hygiene and diet.

Adolescentes abandonnées : Je narrateur adolescent dans le roman français contemporain
- 2004
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis examines the image of the adolescent girl in contemporary French first-person novels, read from a gender perspective. It is both a thematic and a narratologic study of thirty-two novels (1950-1999), focusing on the use of stereotypical concepts of femininity. From a thematic perspective, the female protagonists’ world stands out as dark and problematic, especially in comparison with the world of the male protagonists. The recurrent themes revolve around sexuality and violence in both worlds, but they are treated differently depending on the biological sex of the protagonist. This thematic study thus shows that the protagonists live in a patriarchal world, with different norms for girls and boys. However, an examination of the ‘I’ narrator somewhat modifies the compact, gloomy picture of the girls’ situation. The authors introduce perspectives on the fictional universe of the adolescent, for instance by contrasting the focalization of the adolescent and potentially unreliable narrator with the supposed view of the adult reader. These perspectives are subversive in some novels, but mostly vague. Accordingly, the readers are often left to their own interpretation and evaluation of the adolescent girls’ situation. Finally, a discussion of virtual readers and “target readers” shows a tendency to read and market the novels in question as more or less autobiographical. Such readings modify their ideological potential.

Ethics in The vampire diaries fan fiction
- 2024
-
In: The vampire diaries as postmodern storytelling. - Jefferson, NC : McFarland. - 9781476686844 - 9781476650340 ; , s. 129-149

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Through close readings of a selection of The Vampire Diaries fan fictions, this chapter examines the treatment of issues related to ethics, as depicted in human/vampire relationships. The salient themes and topics: agency, intimacy, and consent are discussed in relation to The Vampire Diaries canon, vampire lore, literary tropes and techniques, and philosophy with a focus on what is altered and what is re-used. Fanfics depicting new pairings can shift the relationship patterns and ethics through even rather small changes. Conversely, fanfic stories that take a rather big step away from canon representations of romance and sexuality can still use long-lived tropes of romantic fiction which readers of today may find ethically problematic. Since human/vampire relationships are the main interest in this chapter, the selected fanfics build on events and characters from the first two seasons of The Vampire Diaries, the CW show. From the third season onwards, an increasing number of The Vampire Diaries characters turn out to be superhuman in some way.From a contextualization of fanfiction as a text form and the choice of fanfics to analyse, this chapter moves on to discuss relationships and ethics in The Vampire Diaries, before addressing a selection of fan fictions in which human-vampires relationships bring to the fore questions of agency, intimacy, consent, and free will, issues which all have bearing on the world outside of vampire romance and fan fiction.
