Disease relevance of Periodontitis, Juvenile

Sera from patients with localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) often contain markedly elevated levels of immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2) antibodies reactive to cell envelope constituents of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans [1].
Antigen bands in the OMA were identified using 7 sera obtained from 3 adult periodontitis (AP) and 4 localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) patients that were documented with elevated A. actinomycetemcomitans antibody and infection [2].

High impact information on Periodontitis, Juvenile

Crevicular fluids from localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) patients contained prostaglandin (PG)E(2) and 5-lipoxygenase-derived products, leukotriene B(4), and the biosynthesis interaction product, lipoxin (LX)A(4) [3].
Patients with localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) have elevated levels of immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2) in their sera [4].
The polysaccharide antigen formed a precipitin band with rabbit serotype b-specific antiserum but not with rabbit antisera to serotype a or c. Electroblotted serotype b antigen was probed with serum from a patient with localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP), resulting in a diffuse "smear" in the upper region of the lane [5].
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the FPR coding region have been reported and two have been associated with the disease juvenile periodontitis; however, their frequency and linkage relationships are unknown [6].
These were obtained from 146 subjects including 71 with localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP), 4 with early-onset periodontitis, 11 with post-localized juvenile periodontitis, 41 with adult periodontitis, and 19 periodontally normal subjects [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Periodontitis, Juvenile

Sera from patients with localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) often contain markedly elevated immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody titers to serospecific determinants of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans [8].
Our previous studies have demonstrated that early-identified lesions of localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) can be treated by the use of systemically administered tetracycline alone (1 gm/day for 6 weeks) [9].
Systemic metronidazole and tetracycline were compared as adjunctive agents in the treatment of localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) [10].
Three treatment regimens including local tetracycline delivery, systemic doxycycline and surgery plus systemic doxycycline were investigated in a localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) population [11].

Anatomical context of Periodontitis, Juvenile

BACKGROUND: Neutrophils from patients with localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) exhibit decreased binding and responsiveness to various chemotactic agents, including N-formyl-1-methionyl-1-leucyl-1-phenylalanine (FMLP) [13].
This study was designed to define the relative distribution of lymphocytes (Lc) and plasma cells (Pc) and the nature of cell-associated immunoglobulins (Ig), IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE, and IgG subclasses IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4, in gingiva from patients with periodontosis (juvenile periodontitis) [14].

Gene context of Periodontitis, Juvenile

We therefore examined the levels of MMP-1, -3, -8 and -9, and their endogenous inhibitor, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMP-1), in GCF and saliva of patients with adult periodontitis (AP) and localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) [15].
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the longitudinal association of selected non-immune anti-microbial host factors (peroxidases, lysozyme and lactoferrin) to the localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) disease status [16].
The distribution of HLA-A and -B antigens in patients and their families with periodontosis [17].
The observations made in this material indicate that what has been diagnosed as periodontosis, in fact is a highly destructive juvenile periodontitis which should be so named [18].
The NADPH oxidase activity of 40 diabetic patients with periodontosis who were on metabolic control was evaluated and compared with that in 40 healthy subjects [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Periodontitis, Juvenile

The present investigation was performed to study the effect on localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) of a treatment program which included tetracycline administration, surgical elimination of inflamed tissues, scaling and root planing, and careful plaque control during healing [20].
