Advanced Oxidation Protein Products in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a prevalent sleep-breathing disorder affecting both adults and children. Although previous studies have suggested a potential association between OSAHS and oxidative stress biomarkers, particularly advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), their conclusive relationship remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to quantitatively synthesise existing evidence on the association between AOPP levels and OSAHS.

Network toxicological and molecular docking in investigating the mechanisms of toxicity of agricultural chemical pyraclostrobin.

The safety of agricultural products is significant to human health. Pyraclostrobin (PYR), a common methoxycarbonyl fungicide, is a crucial role in the prevention of fungal infections during the transport and storage of agricultural products, including vegetables and fruits. Using a multi-analytical approach, integrating toxicological database mining, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, and molecular docking, this study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the toxicity of PYR.

[Progress on photodynamic therapy in oral diseases].

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has developed rapidly in basic and clinical research, and its therapeutic prospects have received increasing attention. PDT has the advantages of minimally invasive, low toxicity, high selectivity, good reproducibility, protection of appearance and vital organ function, and has become a treatment. With the development of medicine, the field of application of PDT becomes more wildly, and brings a new direction for the treatment of oral diseases.

Advances on mechanism and treatment of salivary gland in radiation injury.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most frequent tumour in head and neck malignant. The current treatment is mainly based on surgery therapy, radiation therapy and chemical therapy. Meanwhile, there are many a defect in the treatment.

Nerve growth factor protects salivary glands from irradiation-induced damage.

Aims: Radiotherapy has become a basic treatment modality for head and neck cancer. However, radiotherapy results in inevitable side effects, particularly radiation sialadenitis, that significantly impairs quality of life. A previous study indicated that nerve growth factor (NGF) has a radio-protective effect, but the mechanism was not determined in salivary glands.

Epidemiologic relationship between periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: To systematically review the epidemiologic relationship between periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: Four electronic databases were searched up until December 2018. The manual search included the reference lists of the included studies and relevant journals.
