简要总结
The kynurenine pathway (KP), the primary route for tryptophan (TRP) metabolism, is activated during inflammation and hypoxic conditions, contributing to immune dysregulation and oxidative stress. the interconnected roles of hypoxia, KP activation, and oxidative stress in periodontitis have not been comprehensively investigated.The aim of this study was to determine the role of the kynurenine (KYN) pathway and hypoxia in periodontal inflammation, as well as their association with periodontal clinical parameters.
详细描述
Systemically healthy 23 stage III, grade B periodontitis patients and 22 periodontally healthy individuals were included in this study. Salivary and serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OhdG) levels were evaluated by ELISA, and salivary and serum KP metabolites were evaluated by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

结局指标
主要结局
Pocket probing depth
时间窗: 3 months
Measurement of the depth of a sulcus or periodontal pocket determined by measuring distance from a gingival margin to the base of the sulcus or pocket with a calibrated periodontal probe
Clinical attachment level
时间窗: 4 months
Clinical attachment level (or loss, CAL) is a more accurate indicator of the periodontal support around a tooth than probing depth alone. CAL is measured from a fixed point on the tooth that does not change, the CEJ. To calculate CAL, two measurements are needed: distance from the gingival margin to the CEJ and probing depth. In recession: probing depth (+) gingival margin to the CEJ (add). In tissue overgrowth: probing depth (-) gingival margin to the CEJ (subtract)
Bleeding on probing
时间窗: 4 months
Bleeding on probing referring to bleeding that is induced by gentle manipulation of the tissue at the depth of the gingival sulcus, or interface between the gingiva and a tooth
次要结局
- serum and saliva analyses for selected molecules(3 months)
