[PMID: 39021745 PMCID: PMC11253590 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.64635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders, are often difficult to diagnose and monitor using traditional methods. Salivary biomarkers offer a promising alternative due to their non-invasive nature, ease of collection, and the potential to reflect real-time physiological changes associated with mental health. This bibliometric analysis examines 95 clinical trials on stress biomarkers for mental health, published between 2003 and 2024. The field is characterized by extensive collaboration and global participation, involving 593 authors and publications across 73 journals. Despite a consistent annual publication rate, notable increases in 2011, 2014, and 2018 indicate growing research interest. The United States leads in research output, followed by Australia, Germany, and Japan, with Psychoneuroendocrinology being the most prominent journal. Co-occurrence analysis identified nine research clusters, suggesting diverse directions such as the impact of stress-related hormones, circadian rhythms, mindfulness, various therapies, aging, psychological adaptation mechanisms, exercise therapy, anxiety disorders, and the autonomic nervous system on salivary biomarkers. Key terms such as "biomarkers/metabolism," AND "hydrocortisone/metabolism," AND "saliva/metabolism" were central, with significant activity from 2012 to 2018. This analysis highlights a growing focus on the metabolic processes and therapeutic applications of salivary biomarkers in mental health. This bibliometric analysis calls attention to the promising potential of salivary biomarkers to revolutionize mental health diagnostics and treatment through non-invasive methods, fostering interdisciplinary research, technological advancements, and global health improvements.

[PMID: 38411269 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the association between autoinducer-2 (AI-2) of oral microbial flora and the alveolar bone destruction in periodontitis to determine if AI-2 may have the potential that monitor periodontitis and predict bone loss. BACKGROUND Plaque biofilm was the initiating factor of periodontitis and the essential factor of periodontal tissue destruction. The formation of biofilms depended on the complex regulation of the quorum sensing (QS) system, in which bacteria could sense changes in surrounding bacterial density by secreting the autoinducer (AI) to regulate the corresponding physiological function. Most oral bacteria also communicated with each other to form biofilms administrating the QS system, which implied that the QS system of periodontal pathogens was related to periodontitis, but the specific relationship was unknown. METHOD We collected the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples and measured the concentration of AI-2 in samples using the Vibrio harveyi BB180 bioluminescent-reporter system. To explore the interaction between AI-2 and bone metabolism, we utilized AI-2 purified from Fusobacterium nucleatum to investigate the impact of F. nucleatum AI-2 on osteoclast differentiation. Moreover, we constructed murine periodontitis models and multi-species biofilm models to study the association between AI-2 and periodontal disease progression. RESULTS The AI-2 concentration in GCF samples increased along with periodontal disease progression (p < .0001). F. nucleatum AI-2 promoted osteoclast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner. In the periodontitis mice model, the CEJ-ABC distance in the F. nucleatum AI-2 treatment group was higher than that in the simple ligation group (p < .01), and the maxilla of the mice in the group exhibited significantly lower BMD and BV/TV values (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that the AI-2 concentration varied with the alveolar bone destruction in periodontitis, and it may have the potential for screening periodontitis. F. nucleatum AI-2 promoted osteoclast differentiation in a dose-dependent manner and aggravated bone loss.

Association Between Salivary Cytokines, Chemokines and Growth Factors and Salivary Gland Function in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease. J Inflamm Res 2023; 16:1103-1120. [PMID: 36941986 PMCID: PMC10024471 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s399786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a systemic inflammatory disease that leads to multiple organ complications not only in the kidneys and the cardiovascular system, but also in the oral cavity. CKD children experience reduced saliva secretion (hyposalivation), which leads to increased incidence of dental caries and significant impairment of patients' quality of life. However, the causes of salivary gland dysfunction in children with CKD are unknown. The present study is the first to evaluate the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory profile in the saliva of children with CKD at different stages of renal failure with normal and reduced salivary gland function. Methods Thirty children with CKD (age 9-16) and thirty age- and gender-matched healthy children were classified for the study. Salivary inflammatory and anti-inflammatory profile were assayed using the multiplex ELISA assay. Results We demonstrated statistically significant changes in salivary pro-inflammatory (↑TNF-α, ↓IL-7), anti-inflammatory (↑IL-10), Th1 (↑INF-γ, ↑IL-15), Th2 (↑IL-4, ↑IL-5, ↑IL-6, ↑IL-9) and Th17 (IL-17) cytokines as well as chemokines (↑MCP-1/CCL-2, ↑MIP-1α/CCL3, ↓MIP-1β/CCL4, ↓EOTAXIN/CCL11) and growth factors (↑G-CSF, ↑FGF) in unstimulated saliva of children with CKD compared to the controls. Although the evaluation of the salivary inflammatory profile does not indicate a particular dominance of any of the branches of the immune system, we observed a statistically significant increase in the concentration of all Th2 cytokines assayed. The multivariate regression analysis showed that the content of salivary cytokines, chemokines and growth factors depends on the secretory function of the salivary glands, ie, salivary flow, total protein concentration and amylase activity in the saliva. Salivary MIP-1α/CCL3 was the most effective to differentiate children with CKD and hyposalivation from patients with normal saliva secretion. Discussion Inflammation is involved in salivary gland dysfunction in children with CKD, although further studies on in vitro and in vivo models are necessary to confirm this hypothesis.
