Saliva Collection and Periodontal Assessment Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Saliva samples were collected from participants in the morning (at least 2 h after brushing or consumption of meals) by the cotton swab method, as previously described
25)
using the saliva collection system SalivaBio
®Oral Swab and Swab Storage Tube (Salimetrics, State College, PA, USA) prior to oral examination. The samples were immediately frozen after collection and stored at −80℃ prior to DNA extraction.
All participants were subjected to a full-mouth clinical examination by certified dentists. Their periodontal condition was evaluated by measuring the periodontal pocket depth (PPD) and by bleeding on probing (BOP) at six sites for all teeth; the periodontal inflammation surface area (PISA), a periodontal parameter that quantifies the amount of inflamed periodontal tissue
26)
, was also calculated. A diagnosis of periodontitis was made following the recent diagnostic criteria for periodontal diseases based on the World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions

Salivary Cortisol Levels During Testing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Salivary cortisol (ug/dl) levels were monitored on arrival at the laboratory (baseline), after relaxation and again after the cognitive tests had been completed. Testing was carried out in the afternoon to avoid the high levels of cortisol that are found in the first five hours after waking. Samples were collected using Salimetrics SalivaBio Oral Swab and Swab Storage Tube and immediately frozen below −20 °C. Analysis was carried out using an immunoassay supplied by Salimetrics Europe Ltd, Suffolk, UK.

Gastric Microbiome Changes After Gastrectomy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Saliva and gastric fluid samples were collected from the same 63 patients at two time points, before and six months after gastrectomy. Some of the gastric fluid samples used in this study were part of our previously reported sample25 (link), and their bacterial sequence information has already been registered in DDBJ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJDB12280.
Saliva and gastric fluid samples were collected as previously described25 (link),53 (link), with some modifications. Briefly, after fasting overnight and before eating, a saliva sample was collected with the cotton swab method using the saliva collection system SalivaBio® Oral Swab and Swab Storage Tube (Salimetrics, State College, PA, USA). After that, the gastric sample was collected during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy by aspirating as much gastric fluid as possible with a disposable syringe connected to a sterile tube. Immediately after collection, the samples were frozen and stored at − 80 °C until the DNA was extracted.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
