Gingival crevicular fluid prostaglandin E2 level as a predictor of preterm low birth weight: a pilot investigation.
Periodontal infections, which serve as a reservoir of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), may pose a threat to the fetal-placental unit and cause preterm delivery. This study was conducted to estimate the levels of PGE(2) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum to explore the possible use of the GCF-PGE(2) level as a risk predictor of preterm low birth weight (PLBW)...
متن کاملGingival Crevicular Fluid Biomarkers
Material and Method: Thirty patients were allocated into 3 groups: 10 were treated with scaling and root planing (SRP) only; 10 were treated with SRP and received adjunctive local metronidazole; 10 were treated with SRP and received adjunctive systemic metronidazole. Periodontal clinical parameters including plaque index, sulcus bleeding index, probing depth and relative attachment level were r...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Maternal Haemoglobin and Haematocrit with Low Birth Weight and Preterm Labour
Background & aim: Low levels of maternal haemoglobin and haematocrit in the first, second, and third trimesters are considered as possible risk factors regarding low birth weight (LBW) and preterm labour (PTL). The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between maternal haemoglobin (Hb) and haematocrit (HCT) levels with LBW and PTL. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on...
متن کاملInterleukin-1 receptor antagonist levels in gingival crevicular fluid and serum in nonsmoking women with preterm low birth weight and intrauterine growth retardation
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate interleukin (IL)-1 β and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum (S) in nonsmoking women with normal birth (NB), preterm low birth weight (PLBW), and intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this unmatched case-control study design, 64 women with NB, 45 women with PLBW, and 4...
متن کاملPreterm birth attenuates association between low birth weight and endothelial dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Low birth weight predisposes to later coronary disease. To further elucidate the mechanisms behind this association and their timing, vascular endothelial function-a key factor in early pathophysiology of atherosclerosis-was studied in 54 infants born either before the third trimester or at term. METHODS AND RESULTS All subjects were studied at 3 months of postnatal age. A laser-Do...
