Master Title

TNF-a Expression in Oral Lichen Planus Before and After Treatment with Steroids

Master Abstract

OLP is a chronic inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa which is characterized by autoimmune response against epithelial cells. Till today, the definite etiology and mechanism of pathogenesis of OLP is still not clear. The aim of this study was to assess the role of tumor necrosis factor- a in the immunopathogenesis of oral lichen planus, as well as to compare the effect of topical corticosteroid versus systemic corticosteroid on the expression of tumor necrosis factor -a in oral lichen planus. Thirty cases of OLP patients were divided randomly into two groups; group I patients were treated with topical steroid while group II patients were treated with systemic steroid. Fifteen individuals were used as control group. Biopsy was taken from each patient before treatment to confirm the OLP diagnoses histopathologically and to detect the TNF-a expression in tissues of the lesions. Another biopsy was taken after four weeks of treatment to detect the TNF-a expression after treatment. ELISA was used for the detection of TNF-a expression before and after the treatment with topical and systemic corticosteroids. Results of the present study revealed that TNF-a play a great role in the pathogenesis of OLP as it has significantly decreased in both groups either treated by topical or systemic corticosteroids and on comparing the effect of topical corticosteroid versus systemic corticosteroid on the expression of TNF-a in oral lichen planus there was significant difference in the percentage of change between the two groups reflecting that the systemic steroid is more efficient treatment than topical steroid.

PHD Title

THE EFFECT OF SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM IN CYCLOOXYGENASE-2 ON THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC AND AGGRESSIVE PERIODONTITIS

PHD Abstract

Background: COX2 is considered one of the sources of inflammatory mediators in periodontitis (changing arachidonic acid into PGE2), its gene polymorphisms and its effect on the clinical picture is still not well defined. this study was made to assess the risk of periodontitis in patients with -765GC and -1195A SNPs of COX2 gene among the Egyptian population as a different ethnic group. Methods: The study included a total of 50 individuals that were divided into 3 groups; 10 clinically healthy periodontium subjects as control, 20 periodontitis patients stage II grade B, and 20 periodontitis stage III grade C patients. DNA extraction and amplification by RFLP-PCR technique was done. Results: there was no statistically significant difference between distribution of the different genotypes as well as the different alleles at -765G/C and-1195G/A at in the three groups. Conclusion: The frequency of the G allele at -765G/C was found to be higher compared to the C allele in both periodontitis groups without statistically significant difference. The frequency of the A allele at -1195G/A was found to be higher compared to the G allele in both periodontitis groups without statistical significant difference.
