BACKGROUND Tau protein is implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as tauopathies including Alzheimer disease, and Tau fibrillization is thought to be related to neuronal toxicity. Physiological inhibitors of Tau fibrillization hold promise for developing new strategies for treatment of Alzheimer disease. Because protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is both an enzyme and ...

OBJECTIVES There is evidence about a possible relationship existing between periodontal diseases and coronary heart disease. The aim of the present longitudinal study was to investigate the changes in periodontal evolution after etiological periodontal treatment, comparing a healthy control group with another having coronary heart disease. STUDY DESIGN The study included initially 55 patients...

although periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease but some factors of acute inflammation phase are involved in this disease among which is the c-reactive protein (crp). to minimize its effects, anti-inflammatory drugs or non-pharmacological approaches such as oral hygiene is recommended. crp can also be used for the prediction and early detection of periodontal disease. the aim of the pr...

BACKGROUND The knowledge of the ABO blood group phenotype of the patients and their correlation with the periodontal disease maybe important in the development of early treatment strategies, and it would be helpful to target non-responding areas to periodontal therapy of the susceptible individuals. AIMS The present study was conducted to determine whether there was any correlation between pe...
