Impact of oral hygiene instructions on cytokines in smokers and vapers with gingivitis
...Show More Authors

Background: Cigarette smoking (CS) is a periodontal disease risk factor, affecting clinical parameters such as bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and proinflammatory cytokines level. This study examines the impact electronic cigarette use on proinflammatory cytokines and periodontal parameters. Methods: In this non-randomized study, ninety participants diagnosed with gingivitis were assigned into three groups. examined the effect of oral hygiene instructions on periodontal parameters and inflammatory biomarkers. Thirty CS (n=30) vaping electronic-cigarettes (e-cig) (n=29), and non-smoker (NS) (n=31) was included. Clinical parameters including PI, BOP, and GI were recorded at baseline and after 3 weeks. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to assess levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-8 and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-9 in saliva at baseline and after 3 weeks. Results: CS and vapers exhibited significantly higher PI, GI, MMP-8 and MMP-9 scores compared to NS before and after the oral hygiene instructions, indicating greater periodontal inflammation. CS as well as individuals who use electronic cigarettes exhibited reduced BOP, likely because nicotine-induced vasoconstriction conceals the actual severity of inflammatory periodontal disease. Conclusion: CS and electronic cigarette use adversely affect periodontal health, increasing PI, GI, MMP-8 and MMP-9 levels while altering BOP. These findings stress the importance of tailored maintenance of periodontium smokers and vapers through integrating vaping cessation into treatment protocols to improve oral health outcomes.

Impact of Nitrogen Rate in Conventional and Organic Production Systems on Yield and Bread Baking Quality of Soft Red Winter Wheat
...Show More Authors

Soft red winter wheat (SRW) is characterized by high yield and relatively low protein content. In Kentucky, there is growing demand from local artisan bread bakers for regionally produced flour, requiring production of grain with increased protein content and/or strength. The objective of this two-year field experiment was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen (N) management on five cultivars of winter wheat on yield and bread baking quality traits of modern and landrace SRW cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.). All five cultivars were evaluated using two N application rates in conventional and organic production systems. All traits measured were significantly affected by the agricultural production system and N rate, although plant height
