Dental plaque in adult patients is well identified as a reservoir for Helicobacter pylori. This question still remains unclear in children. The aim of this study is to identify the presence of this bacterium in dental plaque of Mexican pediatric patients, using Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR). Forty patients from 2 to 11 years without dyspeptic symptoms were enrolled. Samples were collected from the subgingival space of the lingual side of the lower molars and cultured in selective medium. Therefore, qPCR analysis was conducted. According to the results obtained in this study, it was found that 35% of the pediatric population who participated tested qPCR positive for the presence of H. pylori in dental plaque samples. No significant associations were detected among isolation rate by gender or age. We found that dental plaque may be a reservoir for H. pylori. However, more research is needed to establish the way of the infection of pediatric population.
RESUMENEn este estudio, se presenta una metodología para evaluar lentes fáquicos intraoculares, cuando el flujo del humor La auscultación de señales basada en un estetoscopio estándar y/o electrónico no solo incluye sonidos internos del cuerpo, también incluye frecuentemente ruido externo de interferencia con componentes en el mismo rango. Esta forma de examinar es incluso afectada por los umbrales auditivos variantes de los profesionales de la salud y el grado de experiencia en reconocimiento de indicadores peculiares. Además, los resultados son a menudo caracterizados en términos cualitativos descriptivos sujetos a interpretaciones individuales. Para direccionar esta preocupación, los estudios presentados en este artículo contienen un procesamiento concurrente de las componentes dominantes de sonidos del corazón (HS) y del pulmón (HS), y una etapa de acondicionamiento que incluye la reducción de HS presente en señales LS. Específicamente, la transformada de Hilbert fue una técnica de caracterización para HS. En el caso de señales enfocadas a LS, las técnicas de detección de actividad de voz y el cálculo de umbrales de algunos componentes de los vectores acústicos de Coeficientes Cepstrales en Frecuencia Mel (MFCC), fueron útiles en la caracterización de eventos acústicos asociados. Las fases de inspiración y expiración fueron diferenciadas por medio de la sexta componente de MFCC. Con el fin de evaluar la eficiencia de esta aproximación, proponemos los Modelos Ocultos de Markov con Modelos Mesclados Gaussianos (HMM-GMM). Los resultados utilizando esta forma de detección son superiores cuando se desarrolla la clasificación con modelos HMM-GMM, la cual refleja las ventajas de la forma de detección cuantificable y clasificación sobre la aproximación clínica tradicional.PALABRAS CLAVE: Transformada de Hilbert (HT); Detección de Actividad de Voz (VAD); Modelos Mezclados Gaussianos(GMM); Modelos Ocultos de Markov (HMM).
Helicobacter pylori is a major etiologic factor in the development of gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. Controversially, the oral cavity has been proposed as a reservoir for this bacterium. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of H. pylori in saliva and dental plaque of adult patients affected by periodontal disease, with or without gastrointestinal symptoms, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Suitable PCR primers were designed using sequences of H. pylori DNA from the GenBank database. Chronic periodontal disease was clinically and radiologically diagnosed. The samples for PCR were obtained from periodontal pockets. Cell lysate was centrifuged and used as a DNA source for the PCR assays. The PCR products were analyzed in agarose gels and the sizes of the amplicons were estimated by comparison with DNA size markers. Two samples from each patient were obtained, one from dental plaque and the other from saliva. All salivary samples were negative to PCR isolation of H. pylori, while 13.3% of the plaque samples were positive. All patients with positive PCR isolation of H. pylori had been showing gastrointestinal symptoms. PCR isolation of H. pylori was directly related to the depth of the periodontal pocket.
