Capnocytophaga species and preterm birth Case Series and Review of the Literature

ABSTRACT

Capnocytophaga, a Gram‐negative anaerobe that inhabits the oral cavity, has been reported to be an unusual cause of chorioamnionitis and neonatal infection.

We report 5 cases of Capnocytophaga sp. infection in preterm infants (1 proven infection and 4 probable infections) and reviewed 14 previously reported cases.

We suggest that Capnocytophaga sp. may be responsible for some occult causes of chorioamnionitis or preterm birth and that the prevalence of this infection may therefore be higher than previously reported.

Cancer risks for MLH1 and MSH2 mutation carriers

ABSTRACT We studied 17,576 members of 166 MLH1 and 224 MSH2 mutation‐carrying families from the Colon Cancer Family Registry. Average cumulative risks of colorectal cancer (CRC), endometrial cancer (EC) and other cancers for carriers were estimated using modified segregation analysis co ... mehr

Dietary flavonoid genistein induces Nrf2 and phase II detoxification gene expression via ERKs and PKC pathways and protects against oxidative stress in Caco‐2 cells

Scope Flavonoids have well‐known antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and anti‐cancer activities. Isoflavone genistein is considered a potent antioxidant agent against oxidative stress. Although several mechanisms have been proposed, a clear antioxidant mechanism of genistein is still remain ... mehr

UVB‐Induced Inflammatory Cytokine Release, DNA Damage and Apoptosis of Human Oral Compared to Skin Tissue Equivalents

Abstract People can get oral cancers from UV (290‐400 nm) exposures. Besides high outdoor UV exposures, high indoor UV exposures to oral tissues can occur when consumers use UV‐emitting tanning devices to either tan or whiten their teeth. We compared the carcinogenic risks of skin to or ... mehr
