Periodontal health intervention for oral health-related outcomes in older type 2 diabetes patients: a randomized controlled trial in a Chinese tertiary hospital.

As the sixth complication of diabetes, periodontitis interacts with diabetes to form a vicious circle. Periodontal health interventions can improve periodontal health and the quality of life in older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to explore the effect of periodontal health interventions based on the Pender Health Promotion Model on periodontal outcome index and quality of life in this patient population.

miR-497-5p Expression and Biological Activity in Gastric Cancer.

This research aims to investigate the expression and biological roles of miR-497-5p in gastric cancer (GC), and its possible mechanisms. Real Time Quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed to detect miR-497-5p in GC and normal tissues, as well as GC cell lines versus normal gastric mucosal cells (GES-1). The effects of miR-497-5p overexpression on proliferation were measured by the cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay and ethidium bromide (EdU) assay.
