Background. Interleukin-1β(IL-1β) plays an important role as a mediator of various inflammatory responses in chronic periodontitis. Several studies have investigated the potential relationship between IL-1βpolymorphism (rs16944) and susceptibility to chronic periodontitis; inflammatory process is involved, but conclusions is still controversial.Objective. The aim of this study was to determine whether the IL-1βpolymorphism (rs16944) is associated with susceptibility to chronic periodontitis.Material and Methods. For the case-control study, 51 patients with chronic periodontitis and 33 healthy control patients were recruited in the study. Genotyping was conducted by direct sequencing. SNPStats and SPSS 18.0 were used for the analysis of genetic data and to evaluate odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals, andPvalues; logistic regression models were used. And to perform meta-analysis, studies about IL-1βpolymorphism (rs16944) and chronic periodontitis were searched in PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, and Korean Studies Information Service System (KISS) electronic databases until July 2017.Results. In our case-control study, no significant relationship was revealed between IL-1βpolymorphism (rs16944) and chronic periodontitis (P>0.05in each model). When combined with the previous studies in the meta-analysis, the result was not associated with chronic periodontitis in any of the models (CC vs. CT + TT: OR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.762–1.246; CC + CT vs. TT: OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.658–1.232; and C vs. T: OR = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.774–1.128). The subgroup analysis stratified by ethnicity showed a weak association between the IL-1βpolymorphism (rs16944) and chronic periodontitis in the Caucasian population (recessive model, OR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.017–1.758,P=0.037).Conclusion. Evidences from a case-control study and the meta-analysis suggest that IL-1βpolymorphism (rs16944) is not associated with susceptibility to chronic periodontitis.

Introduction. Chronic Periodontitis (CP) is suggested to be related to gene variations. Present study aims to quantitatively estimate the association between interleukin-6- (IL-6-) 174G/C polymorphism and CP susceptibility.Materials and Methods. Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched up to May 2016. The meta-analyses were performed using STATA 12.0.Results. 21 studies were yielded. Significant associations were found under heterozygote comparison and dominant model in studies fulfilling HWE (GC versus GG: OR = 0.690, 95% CI = 0.560–0.849,P=0.000; CC + GC versus GG: OR = 0.690, 95% CI = 0.568–0.838,P<0.001); significant associations were found under heterozygote comparison and dominant model in Caucasian studies fulfilling HWE (GC versus GG: OR = 0.752, 95% CI = 0.577–0.980,P=0.035; CC + GC versus GG: OR = 0.737, 95% CI = 0.576–0.944,P=0.016); significant associations were found under allele comparison, heterozygote comparison, and dominant model in Brazilian population (C versus G: OR = 0.648, 95% CI = 0.497–0.845,P=0.001; GC versus GG: OR = 0.621, 95% CI = 0.441–0.876,P=0.007; CC + GC versus GG: OR = 0.649, 95% CI = 0.470–0.896,P=0.009).Conclusion. IL-6 174 polymorphism is associated with CP susceptibility. In Brazilian and Caucasian population, IL-6 174 GG genotype plays as a risk factor to CP.

SummaryNumerous in vivo and in vitro experiments, investigating the inhibition of platelet aggregation and the prevention of experimentally-induced thrombosis, suggest that anti-platelet drugs, such as aspirin or the combination of aspirin and dipyridamole or sulfinpyrazone, may be effective anti-thrombotic agents in man. Since 1971, seven randomized prospective trials and two case-control studies have been referenced in the literature or are currently being conducted, which evaluate the effects of aspirin, sulfinpyrazone, or dipyridamole in combination with aspirin in the secondary prevention of myocardial infarction. A critical review of these trials indicates a range of evidence from no difference to a favorable trend that antiplatelet drugs may serve as anti-thrombotic agents in man. To date, a definitive answer concerning the therapeutic effects of these drugs in the secondary prevention of coronary heart disease is not available.
