Little is known about the involvement of saliva in gingival overgrowth (GO). It was hypothesized that, in this situation, the composition of saliva is altered. Thus, proteins, albumin, cytokines, and growth factors in whole and glandular saliva were investigated. Differences between glandular and
OBJECTIVE
To study the correlation between serum and salivary phenytoin concentration in Thai epileptic children.
METHODS
Children aged 5 to 12 years with diagnosed epilepsy who received phenytoin monotherapy seen in the neurological clinic at Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health were
BACKGROUND
The plasminogen activator (PA) system plays many roles in the inflammatory process and tissue remodelling and repair and is considered to play a significant role in periodontal tissue destruction and healing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the PA system in cyclosporin A
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effects of long-term cyclosporine A (CsA) treatment in 20 children with steroid-resistant idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and analyse the relevant influencing factors of CsA therapy.
METHODS
Twenty children with SRNS received CsA therapy for 2 years between February
We retrospectively reviewed 19 patients (11 male, 8 female) with infantile systemic hyalinosis (ISH) seen at a tertiary care hospital. Fifteen patients (83.3%) presented in the neonatal period. The referral diagnosis was inaccurate in 14 patients (73.7%). Thirteen patients were products of
Epilepsy affects individuals of all ages. Regimens of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and side-effect profiles differ for infants, children, adults, and the elderly. Thus, the epileptologist must be familiar with the specific changes of AED metabolism with age. In general, metabolic rates are fastest in
Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a leading cause of chronic renal failure in dogs. However, little is known about the efficacy of available treatment options for GN in this species. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of cyclosporine (Cy) administration on the outcome of naturally
Clinical characteristics: Hyaline fibromatosis syndrome (HFS) is characterized by hyaline deposits in the papillary dermis and other tissues. It can present at birth or in infancy with severe pain with movement, progressive joint
The immunosuppressant cyclosporin A (CsA) markedly inhibits collagen degradation by an intracellular phagocytic pathway in fibroblasts, an effect that can lead to massive gingival overgrowth. We used a collagen bead model of collagen phagocytosis to determine whether CsA inhibits internalization by
BACKGROUND
Cyclosporine is effective in treating nephrotic syndrome (NS) with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in adults. But high relapse rate remains a major concern. The way to manipulate cyclosporine is inconclusive. The aim of this study was to introduce the way how to titrate the
The aim of the study was to analyse and compare the most frequent clinical oral symptoms, signs and lesions at end-stage renal disease (ESRD), before kidney transplantation (BKT) and after kidney transplantation (AKT). A total of 35 subjects with ESRD were included, 19 in group A (BKT) and 16 in
BACKGROUND
Oral health and dental maintenance have become part of the standard of care for pediatric liver transplant recipients. These individuals tend to suffer particularly from dental problems, such as gingival enlargement, gingivitis, poor oral hygiene, dental hypoplasia, and caries. Saliva
Non communicable diseases (NCDs) affect the life of an individual in terms of mortality, morbidity and financial crises. Main NCDs are diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), pulmonary diseases, osteoporosis and chronic kidney diseases (CKD). About 40% of the total deaths can be
OBJECTIVE
To compare the efficacy and safety of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) with cyclophosphamide (CTX) in the treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN).
METHODS
A literature search was carried out using PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and three
