Brief Summary:
The expression and quantification of Micro-RNA 146-a, was analyzed in the subgingival plaque samples of generalized chronic periodontitis patients with and without coronary heart disease. The demographic variables and periodontal parameters were assessed and correlated with expression of micro-RNA 146-a. The quantification of levels of micro-RNA 146-a was done using Real time Polymerase chain reaction. ( RT-PCR)
Detailed Description:
The quantification of the levels of MicroRNA 146-a was analyzed in subgingival plaque samples of generalized chronic periodontitis subjects with and without coronary heart disease and compared them with the healthy subject.A total of 90 subjects were selected for the study and assigned to 3 groups based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Group I comprised of 30 subjects with Generalized chronic periodontitis diagnosed with coronary heart disease.Group II comprised of 30 subjects with Generalized chronic periodontitis without coronary heart disease and Group III comprised of 30 systemically healthy volunteers with no chronic periodontitis or coronary heart disease. Demographic variables such as age, weight,height,BMI and income and clinical parameters such as plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth and clinical attachement levels were recorded. Subgingival plaque samples were collected from all the 3 groups. The collected samples were subject to further molecular analysis for micro-RNA expression and quantification using RT-PCR.
