Q

what are some microvascular complications of diabetes?

A

retinopathy ( blindness), nephropathy ( renal failure), neuropathy( sensory neurons that leads to amputations, autonomic neurons which leads to dysrhythmias), hypertension

17
Q

what are some macrovascular complications?

A

peripheral, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, hypertension, altered wound healing.

18
Q

what are some oral complications of diabtetics?

A

xerostomia, caries, poor healing, infections, burning mouth syndrome, recurrent ulcerations, oral neuropathies, periodontal disease!

19
Q

why are people with diabetes more susceptible to having periodontal disease?

A

probably cause theyre more susceptible to contracting infections in general

20
Q

diabetics are 2 X as likely to contract periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is actually considered to the the ___ complication of diabetes

21
Q

what does perio disease do to diabetics?

A

it can increase blood sugar contributing to increased period of time when the body functions with high blood sugar This increases diabetics risk of complications

22
Q

diabetes and periodontitis amongst the pima indians shows…

A

the prevelance and severity of attachment loss and bone loss was greater among diabetics

23
Q

diabetics have _______ fold increase of haveing periodontitis in the pima indian study.

24
Q

the prevelance of periodontal disease was 60% in subjects with diabetes vs ___ in those without ( in pima indian study)

25
Bacterial pathogens theory of diabetes and PD
the elevated glucose levels in the blood and saliva may change the environment of the microflora. ( may not be true according to studies)
26
PMN leukocyte function theory
caused by PMN leukocyte deficiencies that result in impaired chemotaxis, defectie phagocytosis, or impaired adherence.
27
uncontrolled diabetics and cell function.
impairs the function of PMN's, monocytes, and macrophages. This results in poor wound healing.
28
Advanced glycation endproducts ( AGEs)
result of rection between carbohydrate and free amino group of proteins - result of glycoxidation but may be an end product of lipid oxidation
29
receptor for AGEs
- belongs to immunoglobulin superfamily - has 1 extracellular region, 1 V and 2 C domains and a short cytoplasmic tail - gene is located on chromosome 6
30
when inoculated with p. gingivalis there was an increase /decrease of formation and deposition of AGEs in the gingiva of mice?
increase`
31
AGE deposition and RAGE expression as been associated with what?
other risk factors for periodontal disease.
32
what happened to these mice when a soluble RAGE was administered?
Periodontal disease was arrested.
33
what did researchers at UF discover about RAGE?
hgiher presence in those with Periodontal disease.
