Does Time to the Operating Room Affect Outcomes in Odontogenic Infection Patients?
(2020-02) Brown, Kiara; Oral Surgery
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is any correlation between delayed time to the operating room from patient entrance to the hospital and complications that may have occurred during that hospitalization. Complications during hospitalization are often expensive as they may require a prolonged hospital stay, more expensive medications and specialized care. Often times, complications lead to increased morbidity and mortality.

The Crosstalk between Del-1 and IL-23 in periodontitis: A novel therapeutic modality
(2020-02) Khodadadi, Hesam; Emami, Golnaz; Salles, Evila; Ghaly, Mira; Mozaffari, Mahmood; Baban, Babak; Oral Biology
Periodontitis is a prevalent disorder with impairment of immune and inflammatory responses contributing importantly to its pathogenesis. In fact it is it is the host response to the biofilm that destroys the periodontium in the pathogenesis of the disease. As our understanding of pathways of inflammation has matured, however, the precise molecular and cellular basis of resolution of inflammation remain uncleared. DEL-1 (developmental endothelial locus-1) is a secreted multidomain protein that inhibits leukocyte–endothelial adhesion, binding to the LFA-1 integrin resulted in suppression of inflammatory responses. The expression of Del-1 is shown to be inhibited by the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17. One of the major cytokines which has been shown to be a key protein for expression and maintenance of IL-17 is IL-23. The relationship between Del-1 and IL-23 is remained unknown. Based on our preliminary data, we investigated the interaction between Del-1 and IL-23 in a murine model of periodontitis.
