This study aimed to examine the levels of interleukin-33 in Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) in gingival inflammation. A total of 20 subjects, 10 patients with gingivitis and 10 healthy subjects were included in this study. Periodontal status was evaluated GCF interleukin-33 levels were analyzed by ELISA. Gingivitis patients had similar GCF interleukin-33 levels to healthy group (p>0.05). The present study demonstrated that interleukin-33 in GCF of patients with gingival inflammation was similar to healthy ones

Background: Periodontal inflammation is driven by the coordinated action of a number of factors, including the IL-1 family. Our study aimed to examine the levels of interleuldn (IL)-36 beta, IL-36 gamma and IL-33 levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) from patients with different periodontal diseases. Materials and methods: A total of 80 subjects, 20 patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis (G-AgP), 20 patients with chronic periodontitis (CP), 20 with gingivitis and 20 periodontally healthy subjects were included. Periodontal status was evaluated by measuring probing depth, clinical attachment loss, papillary bleeding index and plaque index. GCF cytokine levels were analysed by ELISA. Results: CP, gingivitis and healthy groups had similar GCF IL-36 beta total amount (p > 0.008). G-AgP group had elevated IL-36 beta total amount compared to CP group (p 0.008). GCF IL-36 gamma and IL-33 total amounts of the study groups were similar (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The present study demonstrated for the first time the presence of IL-36 beta, IL-36 gamma and IL-33 GCF levels with different periodontal diseases. High levels of IL-36-beta in the AgP group in comparison to CP group might suggest that periodontitis in the aggressive form could be related to the increase in GCF IL-36 beta. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

A new calix[4]azacrown ether based boradiazaindacene (Bodipy): Selective fluorescence changes towards trivalent lanthanide ions

WOS: 000323095000002We report on the synthesis and photophysical properties of a new calix[4]azacrown derivative, capped with two amide bridges, in the cone conformation bearing two boradiazaindacene (Bodipy) groups at the narrow rim. Its binding properties towards trivalent lanthanide ions such as La3+, Gd3+, Tb3+, Dy3+, Er3+ and Yb3+ were investigated by using spectroscopic techniques. With respect to fluorescence intensity changes upon trivalent lanthanide ion complexation, calix[4]azacrown ether based Bodipy showed higher selectivity towards Yb3+ ion over other ions. Presence of proximal two amide groups in calix[4] azacrown ether based Bodipy were observed to play an important role in exhibiting its lanthanide ion binding. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Novel Pillar[5]arenes Show High Cross-Sensitivity in PVC-Plasticized Membrane Potentiometric Sensors

In this study a variety of novel symmetrically and asymmetrically functionalized pillar[5]arenes were synthesized, structurally characterized and applied as ionophores in PVC-plasticized membrane potentiometric sensors. During the sensitivity studies it was found that these novel sensors demonstrate pronounced cationic response towards different metal ions in aqueous solutions. A selectivity evaluation revealed that the developed sensors do not possess sharp preferences to particular ions, but offer a broad cross-sensitivity and can be employed in potentiometric multisensor systems
