Abstract
Autophagy is a cellular process that is evolutionarily conserved, involving the sequestration of damaged organelles and proteins into autophagic vesicles, which subsequently fuse with lysosomes for degradation. Autophagy controls the development of many diseases by influencing apoptosis, inflammation, the immune response and different cellular processes. Autophagy plays a significant role in the aetiology of disorders associated with dentistry. Autophagy controls odontogenesis. Furthermore, it is implicated in the pathophysiology of pulpitis and periapical disorders. It enhances the survival, penetration and colonization of periodontal pathogenic bacteria into the host periodontal tissues and facilitates their escape from host defences. Autophagy plays a crucial role in mitigating exaggerated inflammatory reactions within the host's system during instances of infection and inflammation. Autophagy also plays a role in the relationship between periodontal disease and systemic diseases. Autophagy promotes wound healing and may enhance implant osseointegration. This study reviews autophagy's dento-alveolar effects, focusing on its role in odontogenesis, periapical diseases, periodontal diseases and dental implant surgery, providing valuable insights for dentists on tooth development and dental applications. A thorough examination of autophagy has the potential to discover novel and efficacious treatment targets within the field of dentistry.

Abstract
Besides maintaining a physical barrier with adherens junctional (AJ) and tight junctional proteins, airway epithelial cells have important roles in modulating the inflammatory processes of allergic asthma. E-cadherin and β-catenin are the key AJ proteins that are involved in airway remodeling. Various mediators such as transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and angiogenic factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), are released by the airway epithelium in allergic asthma. The signaling pathways activated by these growth factors trigger epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which contributes to fibrosis and subsequent downregulation of E-cadherin. The present study used a mouse asthma model to investigate the effects of anti-VEGF, anti-TNF and corticosteroid therapies on growth factor and E-cadherin/β-catenin expression. The study used 38 male BALB/c mice, divided into 5 groups. A chronic mouse asthma model was created by treating 4 of the groups with inhaled and intraperitoneal ovalbumin (n= 8 per group). Saline, anti-TNF-α (etanercept), anti-VEGF (bevacizumab) or a corticosteroid (dexamethasone) were applied to each group by intraperitoneal injection. No medication was administered to the control group (n=6). Immunohistochemistry for E-cadherin, β-catenin and growth factors was performed on lung tissues and protein expression levels assessed using H-scores. Statistically significant differences were observed in E-cadherin, β-catenin, EGF, FG, and PFGF (P<0.001 for all) as well as the IGF H-scores between the five groups (P<0.005). Only anti-VEGF treatment caused E-cadherin and β-catenin levels to increase to the level of non-asthmatic control groups (P>0.005). All treatment groups had reduced TGF-β, PDGF and FGF H-scores in comparison with the untreated asthma group (P=0.001). The EGF and IGF levels were not significantly different between the untreated asthmatic and non-asthmatic controls. The results suggested that anti-VEGF and TNF-α inhibition treatments are effective in decreasing growth factors, in a similar manner to conventional corticosteroid treatments. Anti-VEGF and TNF inhibition therapy may be an effective treatment for remodeling in asthma while offering an alternative therapeutic option to steroid protective agents. The data suggested that anti-VEGF treatment offered greater restoration of the epithelial barrier than both anti-TNF-α and corticosteroid treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Adenoid tissue is important in local immune response and epithelial barrier dysfunction of this tissue may contribute to allergies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the status of cross-epithelial barrier elements in adenoid tissue lymphoepithelium and inhalant allergen sensitization. MATERIALS AND METHODS Children aged 5-15 years, who underwent adenotonsillectomy, participated in this study. All subjects underwent skin prick testing with environmental inhalant allergens. Occludin, ZO1, e-cadherin, β-catenin, desmoglein, desmoplakin, and connexon-43 were stained immunohistochemically in the adenoid tissues obtained and scored by H-score. RESULTS We enrolled 76 children, 14 among whom were sensitized to environmental allergens. Among the zonula occludens proteins, median H-scores for occludin, claudin, and ZO-1 were significantly lower in the atopic compared to the nonatopic group respectively (p<0.001). Similarly, median H-scores for e-cadherin and β catenin proteins of the zonula adherens were significantly lower in the atopic group (p<0.001). Both desmoglein and desmoplakin H-scores were significantly lower in the atopic group [60 (50-100) vs 280 (260-300), p<0.001 and 105 (87.5-120) vs 280 (67.25-300), p<0.001 respectively]. Moreover, connexin-43 protein of the gap junction was significantly lower in the atopic group (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Adenoid tissue, which is the initial point of contact of inhalant allergens demonstrates epithelial barrier junctional protein, changes in children with inhalant allergen sensitization without clinical allergic disease symptoms. Therefore, it may be concluded that epithelial barrier function plays an important role in the development of allergen sensitization versus tolerance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Topical treatment is first choice in the treatment of uncomplicated chronic otitis media. It was intended to assess auditory and histopathological safety of ototopical use of mercurochrome solution in rats with induced tympanic membrane perforation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted on 21 female Wistar-Albino rats which were randomly assigned into 3 groups. In all rats, perforation was performed at right tympanic membrane. Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) measurements were performed at frequencies of 2000, 3000 and 4000 Hz (with L1/L2: 70 /70 dB at 2f1-f2 frequency; f2/f1 ratio: 1:22) before recovery from anesthesia and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) were recorded. Normal saline, 2% mercurochrome and gentamicin were given to group 1, 2 and 3 twice daily over a week, respectively. Rats were sacrificed after DPOAE measurements on day 14. Right temporal bone specimens were examined under light microscope after processing. RESULTS Based on DPOAE results, there was no significant difference among groups before treatment. On day 14, significant differences were found in DPOAE measurements at 3000 and 4000 Hz, and in mean SNR values in 2% mercurochrome and gentamicin groups when compared to normal saline group while no significant difference was detected at 2000 Hz among groups. In addition, significant degeneration was detected in Corti organs, spiral ganglions and stria vascularis in groups 2 and 3. CONCLUSION In this study, it was observed that mercurochrome use in external otitis and otitis media with tympanic membrane perforation could cause ototoxicity and concluded that the solution should be used cautiously.

Abstract
Evidences about the preventive and therapeutic effects of boron compounds on cancer have been increasing in the last years. Although calcium fructoborate (CaFB) is used as a nutritional supplement, data about its preventive and therapeutic effects on neoplastic transformations are limited. In the present study, the various concentrations of CaFB were applied to the MDA-MB-231 metastatic breast cancer cell line. First, we examined the cytotoxic effect and IC50 value of CaFB by MTT assay. For the evaluation of the DNA damage, apoptosis and metastatic potential, expression levels of ATM, pATM, PARP, p53, p-p53, caspase-3, caspase-9, and VEGF were investigated by using immunoblotting and immunohistochemical methods. Cell viability was significantly reduced at 50 μM CaFB treatment. pATM, p-p53, and caspase-9 levels increased significantly in all groups; furthermore, there was approximately 12.5-, 2.4-, and 10.7-fold increase, respectively, for 100 μM CaFB treatment. ATM and p53 levels did not change with CaFB treatment, but PARP levels significantly 2.5-fold decreased. While VEGF immunoreactivity decreased in all groups, significant increase in caspase-3 immunoreactivity was observed only in the group treated with 50 μM CaFB (p < 0,001). Our results imply that CaFB may have therapeutic potential as well as preventive benefits in cancer.

Abstract
Paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium) (PQ), is a nonselective contact herbicide that is highly toxic to humans. The kidney is affected during PQ intoxication. Dexamethasone (Dexa) has anti-inflammatory effects and is used to treat cases of PQ poisoning. We investigated in rat kidney hemodynamic effects and immunohistochemical characteristics of Dexa treatment in acute PQ poisoning. Adult male rats were divided into four groups: 1, untreated control; 2, treated with 100 mg/kg Dexa; 3, treated with 25 mg/kg PQ; 4, treated with PQ + Dexa. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded during the experimental period (2 h). Tissues were removed after 2 h and immunohistochemistry was performed after 24 h. Paraffin sections of kidney were prepared and anti-cyclo-oxygenase-1 (COX-1), anti-cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2), anti-angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), anti-aquaporin-1 (AQU-1), anti-vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM) primary antibodies were used for immunohistochemical examination. Immunoreactivities were scored as: (1) minimal, (2) weak, (3) mild, (4) moderate, (5) strong and (6) very strong. MAP and HR were measured at 10 min, 20 min, 1 h and 2 h. MAP at 10 and 20 min and 1 h was increased in the Dexa group. HR also was increased in all groups compared to controls at 2 h. Compared to groups 2 and 4, MAP values decreased significantly in group 3 at 1 h. The intensity of all of immunoreactivities was decreased in group 2. In group 3, immunoreactivities of COX-1, COX-2 and ACE were decreased compared to the control and the other groups, whereas AQU-1 and VCAM immunoreactivities were the same as the control group. ACE and VCAM immunoreactivities were decreased in group 4 compared to the control group, while COX-1, COX-2 and AQU-1 immunoreactivities were close to those of the control group. Dexa appears to be useful for treating PQ intoxication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to compare the effects of the absorbable gelatin sponge (AGS), microporous polysaccharide hemospheres (MPH), and Ankaferd on wound healing after middle ear trauma and to evaluate their ototoxicity in an experimental guinea pig model. METHODS Middle ear mucosal trauma was created in 21 healthy adult guinea pigs. MPH, Ankaferd, and AGS were applied into the right tympanic bulla of the guinea pigs (7 ears for each treatment modality). The left ears of the seven animals were used as the sham group. At the fourth postoperative week (28-30 days), the guinea pigs were decapitated. Apoptosis was investigated, and the expression of Bcl-xl, Apaf, p53, cytochrome 3, and caspase 3 were evaluated. RESULTS The Ankaferd and AGS groups demonstrated significantly lower epithelial thickness, inflammation, and capillary dilatation than did the control group (p<0.001, <0.001, /0.001, <0.001/, 0.005, and 0.005, respectively). A statistically significant decrease in Bcl-xl staining was observed in the middle ears of animals treated with MPH (p=0.003). There was significantly higher caspase 3 expression in the Ankaferd and AGS groups than in the control group (p<0.001 and p=0.002, respectively). CONCLUSION Light microscopy indicates that Ankaferd and AGS create less inflammation and increased caspase expression, which seems to induce inflammatory cell apoptosis. Ankaferd seems to be a promising hemostatic agent in otology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the effects of ascorbic acid and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) antioxidants on the development of myringosclerosis (MS) in an experimental model. METHODS Myringotomies were performed in the ears of 15 guinea pigs, and Spongostan pieces were placed on the perforated regions of the tympanic membrane. The subjects were divided randomly into three groups and treated with three different solutions on the Spongostan-group 1: (control, 0.9% saline), group 2 (ascorbic acid), and group 3 (NAC). On day 15 after treatment, specimens from the tympanic membranes were obtained and examined via light microscopy. Sclerosis and inflammation scores and the tympanic membrane thicknesses were evaluated. Immunohistochemical methods were used to evaluate the expression of VEGF, TGF-β, iNOS, and IL1-β in all groups. RESULTS Lower sclerosis and inflammation scores and reduced tympanic membrane thicknesses were observed in groups treated with NAC or ascorbic acid compared with the control group. Immunohistochemical studies revealed significantly less expression of VEGF, TGF-β, and iNOS in groups 2 and 3 compared with group 1. Additionally, IL1-β expression was significantly less in group 3 than in group 1. Compared with group 1, group 2 animals exhibited reduced inflammation in the lamina propria, fewer active fibroblasts, less leukocyte infiltration, and decreased thickness of the vessels; group 3 animals exhibited decreased numbers of active fibroblasts and collagen fibers in the lamina propria. CONCLUSIONS Inflammation scores, cellular infiltration, and expression of VEGF, TGF-β, and iNOS were reduced by ascorbic acid and/or NAC treatments, thereby decreasing MS development. Decreased expression of IL1-β was observed only in animals treated with NAC.
