Inflammation is pivotal in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Various cytokines and chemokines are released during inflammation.\\[4\\] These inflammatory markers may have diagnostic potential for the detection of various inflammatory diseases.\\[5\\] Macrophages secrete macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha) which recruits inflammatory cells, inhibits stem cells, and activates bone resorption cells.\\[6\\] Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is produced in response to tissue injury and infection and contributes to the differentiation of B cells, the proliferation of T cells, and bone resorption.\\[7\\] The levels of these inflammatory markers are seen to be increased in inflammatory conditions, which include myocardial infarction and stage 4 periodontitis. Therefore, this study aims to assess the levels of these inflammatory markers in patients with myocardial infarction and periodontitis.', 'detailedDescription': "This was a cross-sectional study involving the patients of the department of periodontics and department of cardiology.\n\nPatients included in the study were categorized into four groups: (1) group 1-healthy subjects, (2) group 2-stage 4 periodontitis patients, (3) group 3- post-MI patients with stage 4 periodontitis, (4) group 4- post-MI patients without periodontitis.\n\nThe severity of the periodontitis was assessed by a periodontist. The diagnosis of acute MI was made by the cardiologists. Oral health assessment in acute MI patients was done at the subjects' bedside after stabilization of the patient, so as not to interfere with the ongoing medical treatment. Subjects' identification was kept confidential.\n\nAll samples were collected from patients admitted within 48 hours of their cardiac event. Patients were diagnosed as acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) based on the elevation of ST segments on the electrocardiogram(ECG) by 0.1mV in contiguous leads in patients with signs and symptoms of myocardial ischemia and/ or development of new left bundle branch block, along with increased cardiac biomarkers. Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) was diagnosed in patients with signs and symptoms of myocardial ischemia and depression in ST-segment on the ECG or new Q wave pathology along with elevation of cardiac biomarkers.\\[8\\] Stage four periodontitis was diagnosed using the World Workshop 2017 classification.\\[9\\] Subjects who had undergone oral prophylaxis or periodontal surgery in the past 6 months were not included in the study. Smokers, pregnant women, lactating mothers, and those on medication (anti-microbial, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) in the past 3 months as well as those with other chronic systemic diseases were excluded from the study. These were all excluded as each would affect the levels of biomarkers."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '70 Years', 'minimumAge': '20 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Patients included in the study were categorized into four groups: (1) group 1-healthy subjects, (2) group 2-stage 4 periodontitis patients, (3) group 3- post-MI patients with stage 4 periodontitis, (4) group 4- post-MI patients without periodontitis.', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* subjects who had MI\n* who had stage 4 periodontal disease\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* subjects who did not have MI\n* subjects who had systemic disease other than MI\n* subjects who had medication in the past 3 months\n* smokers\n* pregnant and lactating women'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT05314192', 'briefTitle': 'Non-invasive Assessment of Inflammatory Markers MIP-1 Alpha and IL-6 in Saliva of Post Myocardial Infarction and Stage 4 Periodontitis Patients', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Ajman University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Non-invasive Assessment of Inflammatory Markers MIP-1 Alpha and IL-6 in Saliva of Post Myocardial Infarction and Stage 4 Periodontitis Patients', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'ABSM/EC/29/2020'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Healthy', 'description': 'Healthy cohorts with no underlying systemic or periodontal disease', 'interventionNames': ['Diagnostic Test: salivary test']}, {'label': 'stage 2 periodontitis', 'description': 'patients with periodontitis but no underlying systemic periodontal disease', 'interventionNames': ['Diagnostic Test: salivary test']}, {'label': 'MI patients with stage 4 periodontitis', 'description': 'patients who had MI and having stage 4 periodontitis patients', 'interventionNames': ['Diagnostic Test: salivary test']}, {'label': 'MI patients without periodontitis', 'description': 'patients who had MI without periodontitis', 'interventionNames': ['Diagnostic Test: salivary test']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'salivary test', 'type': 'DIAGNOSTIC_TEST', 'description': 'saliva was assessed for MIP-1 alpha', 'armGroupLabels': ['Healthy', 'MI patients with stage 4 periodontitis', 'MI patients without periodontitis', 'stage 2 periodontitis']}, {'name': 'salivary test', 'type': 'DIAGNOSTIC_TEST', 'description': 'saliva was assessed for IL-6', 'armGroupLabels': ['Healthy', 'MI patients with stage 4 periodontitis', 'MI patients without periodontitis', 'stage 2 periodontitis']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'city': 'Mangalore', 'country': 'India', 'facility': 'AB shetty Institute of dental sciences', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 12.91723, 'lon': 74.85603}}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'UNDECIDED', 'description': 'The link will be shared among researchers upon request'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Ajman University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'A B Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Science', 'class': 'OTHER'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Clinical Assistant Professor', 'investigatorFullName': 'sudhir rama varma', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Ajman University'}}}}
