    Författare :Kåre Buhlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Periodontitis; cardiovascular disease; risk factor; inflammation; epidemiology; oral health; questionnaire; self-assessment.;

    Sammanfattning : Periodontitis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are both common diseases affecting a large part of the society. Both diseases are considered to have a chronic inflammatory origin. During the last decades research has focused on a possible link between them. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Rheumatoid arthritis as a modifier of periodontitis

    Författare :Letícia Algarves Miranda; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :periodontal disease; attachment loss; juvenile idiopathic arthrtitis; rheumatoid arthritis; interleukin-1β; interleukin-18; elastase;

    Sammanfattning : Periodontitis is a chronic tissue-destructive condition in which the tooth-supporting collagen fibers of ligament and bone are broken down mainly by the host s overreactive immune inflammatory response. The relation between periodontitis and other chronic inflammatory destructive diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), has been dealt with in some studies because, in spite of their different etiologies, similar mechanisms of tissue destruction have been described in these conditions.

  4. 18. Studies on myeloid cell functions in periodontitis

    Författare :Reuben Clark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Periodontitis (PD) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of the tooth supporting tissues; gingiva, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. Myeloid cells, including monocytes and macrophages, play a crucial part in the inflammatory host response by clearing pathogens and producing a vast array of inflammatory mediators. LÄS MER

  7. 20. The role of monocytes in chronic inflammatory diseases

    Författare :Sofia Björnfot Holmström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Monocytes and monocyte-derived cells are important players in the orchestration of inflammatory reactions in blood and peripheral tissues. However, little is known about the monocyte fate upon entry into human tissues, and current concepts are mainly based on animal models, with the addition of observational studies in humans that often do not allow determining causality.
