Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between the analgesic effect of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and sodium channel 1.7 (Nav1.7) expression in the trigeminal ganglion (TG).
Methods: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) inflammation was induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) in female rats. Ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium and meloxicam were given intragastrically before induction of TMJ inflammation. Histopathological evaluation and scoring of TMJ inflammation was used to evaluate the level of inflammation. The head withdrawal threshold and food intake were measured to evaluate TMJ nociceptive responses. The mRNA and protein expression of trigeminal ganglionic Nav1.7 was examined using real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot.
Results: Twenty-four hours after the injection of CFA into the TMJs, NSAIDs attenuated hyperalgesia of inflamed TMJ and simultaneously blocked inflammation-induced upregulation of Nav1.7 mRNA and protein expression in the TG. However, ibuprofen and diclofenac sodium slightly attenuated TMJ inflammation and meloxicam did not affect TMJ inflammation.
Conclusion: Attenuation of hyperalgesia of inflamed TMJ by NSAIDs might be associated with their role in blocking upregulation of trigeminal ganglionic Nav1.7.

Targeted soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibits M1 macrophage polarization to improve cartilage injury in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis.

Background: Macrophage immunomodulation has emerged as a novel intervention and therapeutic strategy for temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA), potentially serving as a key approach for reducing synovial inflammation and promoting cartilage repair. The soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor (sEHi), TPPU, has shown potential therapeutic effects against inflammatory diseases and osteogenesis by elevating endogenous Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). However, it remains largely unknown whether TPPU can reduce inflammation and cartilage degradation in the TMJOA.

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) is a condition characterized by progressive cartilage degradation and inflammation, with matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) playing an important role in these processes. The present study evaluated the effects of ozone therapy on the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and the cartilage preservation in a monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced TMJ-OA rat model. Female Wistar rats were administered a single intra-articular injection of MIA (2 mg/TMJ in 30 µL saline) or saline into the left TMJ.

This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of different concentrations of 17β-estradiol (E2) on knee joints (KJ) and temporomandibular joints (TMJ) in ovariectomized rats, with a focus on bony changes and inflammation. Bilateral ovariectomy was performed to induce estrogen deficiency, and various concentrations of E2 were administered (0, 10, 50, or 100 μg/100 g body weight (BW)) to explore joint responses. Microcomputed tomography and histological and immunohistochemical staining techniques were used to evaluate bony changes and inflammatory markers.

Background: Diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis (DSO) is a rare chronic disease, which is associated with severe jaw pain, swelling of the mandible and trismus. Involvement of the temporomandibular joint is rare and reports on cases with severe destruction of the temporomandibular joint in DSO patients are so far uncommon.
Case Report: The following case report describes a 26 year-old female patient, who presented with a acute otitis media, followed by chronic mastoiditis and osteomyelitis of the skull base in her medical history, and who developed DSO in the left mandible with severe degenerative changes of the TMJ in the course of the disease.
