    High pretreatment systemic immune-inflammation index values are associated with diminished short-term success after temporomandibular joint arthrocentesis procedure
    (2021) Somay, Efsun; Yilmaz, Busra; 0000-0003-0633-5648; 0000-0001-8251-6913; 34654426
    Background The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has been demonstrated to be a valid biomarker of a patient's immunological and inflammatory state, with the ability to accurately predict outcomes in a variety of disease conditions. In the absence of comparable studies, we intended to examine the relevance of pretreatment SII in predicting the success rates of temporomandibular joint arthrocentesis (TMJA) at 1-week, 1-month, and 6-month periods, defined as maximum mouth opening (MMO) > 35 mm and VAS <= 3. Methods A sum of 136 patients with disc displacement without reduction (DDwo-red) who underwent TMJA was included. For each patient, pre-TMJA SII was calculated as; SII = Platelets x neutrophils/lymphocytes. Additionally, baseline MMO and VAS measurements were recorded for each patient. The success criteria of TMJA included MMO > 35 mm and VAS <= 3. The optimal pre-TMJA SII cutoff that predicts TMJA success was determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The primary endpoint was the link between the pre-treatment SII and TMJA success (simultaneous achievement of MMO > 35 mm and VAS <= 3). Results The median pre-TMJA jaw locking duration, maximum mouth opening (MMO), and visual analog score (VAS) were 7 days, 24 mm, and 8, respectively. The overall TMJA success rates were determined as 80.1%, 91.9%, and 69.1% at 1-week, 1-month, and 6-months, respectively. The results of ROC curve analysis exhibited the optimal SII cutoff at 526 (AUC: 67.4%; sensitivity: 66.7%; specificity: 64.2%) that grouped the patients into two subgroups: Group 1: SII <= 526 (N = 81) and SII > 526 (N = 55), respectively. Spearman correlation analysis revealed a strong inverse relationship between the pretreatment SII values and the success of TMJA 1-week (r(s): - 0.83; P = 0.008) and 1-month, (r(s): - 0.89; P = 0.03). Comparative analyses displayed that TMJA success rates at 1-week (87.7% vs. 69.1%; P = 0.008) and 1-month (96.2% vs. 80%; P = 0.03) were significantly higher in the SII <= 526 than SII > 526 group, respectively, while the 6-month results favored the SII <= 526 group with a trend approaching significance (P = 0.084). Conclusion The current study's findings suggested the SII as a unique independent prognostic biomarker that accurately predicts treatment outcomes for up to 6 months. Trial registration The results of this research were retrospectively registered.

    Serum and placental periostin levels in women with early pregnancy loss
    (2020) Eroglu, Semra; Colak, Eser; Erinanc, Ozgur Hilal; Ozdemir, Duygu; Ceran, Mehmet Ufuk; Tasdemir, Umit; Kulaksizoglu, Sevsen; Ozcimen, Emel Ebru; 0000-0003-1401-6356; 0000-0002-7613-2240; 0000-0002-9959-9433; 32460058; AAL-1268-2021; AAI-8932-2021
    Objectives: Periostin is secreted from the placenta in the embryonic period and it is emphasized that it may be involved in endometrial implantation. In this study, we aimed to investigate periostin serum levels and placental tissue expression in first trimester pregnancy losses. Study design: In this prospective case-control study, 30 patients who underwent dilatation and curettage with first trimester spontaneous abortion (< 10 weeks of gestation) were included in the study group and 30 patients who had voluntary pregnancy termination (< 10 gestational weeks) were included in the control group. Serum samples collected from the study and control groups were analyzed usingenzyme-linkedimmunosorbent assay (ELISA), and trophoblastic and decidual tissues were examined using immunohistochemical staining with streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase techniques. Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of age, gravida status, parity number, gestational week, and number of previous abortions. In the spontaneous abortion group, the serum level of periostin was significantly lower than in the voluntary termination group (6.56 +/- 4.16 pg/mLvs. 9.51 +/- 4.52 pg/mL, p = 0.03). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of periostin expression in decidual and trophoblastic tissue (p = 0.617, p = 0.274, p = 0.497). Conclusion: Periostin serum levels were significantly reduced in patients with spontaneous pregnancy loss. Periostin can be used as a predictive marker for the success of endometrial implantation.
