概括
一些口腔细菌,比如Fusobacterium核亚种. 甲状腺炎 (RA) 与甲状腺炎 (AR) 有关. 需要进一步的研究来了解口腔细菌与RA发展之间的复杂关系.
科学领域:
- 口腔微生物学
- 关节病学
- 牙周病学
背景情况:
- 风湿性关节炎 (RA) 是一种具有复杂病因的慢性自身免疫性疾病.
- 牙周炎是一种常见的口腔疾病,已被研究其在RA等全身性疾病中的潜在作用.
- 口腔微生物组的组成可能会影响炎症过程和疾病的发展.
研究的目的:
- 在RA患者和健康对照者 (HCs) 之间比较牙周状况和口腔细菌概况.
- 研究特定的口腔细菌与RA存在的关联.
- 研究口腔细菌在牙周炎和关节炎之间的关系.
主要方法:
- 一项涉及85名RA患者和119名HC患者的病例对照研究.
- 用于定量细菌物种的牙裂液的口腔微生物DNA测试.
- 使用探测深度和临床附着水平评估牙周状况.
- 多变量逻辑回归分析RA,牙周状况和口腔细菌之间的关联.
主要成果:
- 与HC相比,RA患者的探测深度显著增加.
- 包括Fusobacterium nucleatum亚种在内的几种口腔细菌的丰度较高. 在HC中观察到多态菌和Campylobacter showae.
- 关联与家族病史,吸烟,深层牙周口袋和高水平的F. 动物和Veillonella parvula. 这是一个非常好的方法. 相反,较高的Campylobacter gracilis水平显示RA的几率比率较低.
结论:
- 这些发现表明Fusobacterium nucleatum亚种. 在 RA 发病过程中可能涉及动物和Veillonella parvula.
- 这项研究强调了特定的口腔细菌,牙周健康和类风湿性关节炎之间的复杂相互作用.
- 需要进一步研究以阐明口腔细菌与RA关系的确切机制.

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS
14.1K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction
38
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
57
The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...
