About this study

Official title: Quantification of Proteomes: L-plastin , Lipocalin and Adiponectin in Subgingival Tissue Samples of Generalized Severe Chronic Periodontitis Patients With and Without Type II Diabetes Mellitus

The quantification of the proteomes : L-plastin, lipocalin and adiponectin was analysed in the subgingival tissue samples of generalized severe chronic periodontitis patients with and without diabetes mellitus.The demographic and the periodontal parameters were assessed and the correlated with the quantification of the proteins. The mRNA expression was analyzed with RT-PCR and the quantification of protein was done using ELISA.

Read the detailed description

The quantification of the proteomes : L-plastin, lipocalin and adiponectin was analysed in the subgingival tissue samples of generalized severe chronic periodontitis patients with and without diabetes mellitus.A total of 70 subjects with generalized severe chronic periodontitis were selected and divided into two groups. Group I comprised of 35 subjects who were diagnosed with generalized severe chronic periodontitis without any systemic conditions. Group II comprised of generalized severe chronic periodontitis patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Demographic variables such as age, weight, height, BMI and income and the clinical parameters such as plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level were recorded. Subgingival tissue samples were collected from both the groups from the periodontal surgical site. The collected samples were subjected to further molecular analysis for the mRNA expression of L-plastin, lipocalin and adiponectin using RT-PCR and for their protein quantification using ELISA.The elevated levels of mRNA expression and elevated quantification of L-plastin and Lipocalin proteins in the subgingival tissue samples of generalized severe chronic periodontitis subjects with diabetes denoted the localized involvement of these molecules in the pathogenesis of both periodontitis and type II diabetes mellitus. Since adiponectin was reduced in periodontitis patients with type II diabetes mellitus, it can be used as an anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic biomarker for the early identification of patients at risk for diabetes mellitus and periodontitis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontal Diseases, run by Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

mRNA expression of L-plastin,lipocalin and adiponection (time frame: 9 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03391349, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jan 2018.
