COMPLETING YOUR TEMPLATE AND
SUBMISSION FORM
The abstract must be typed
properly. Otherwise it cannot be submitted to J Dent Res for publication
with the other Jordan Section abstracts. The scientific committee cannot accept
abstracts that are unsuitable for publication, so incorrectly completed
abstract forms will be rejected.
These are the requirements
which must be adhered to if your abstract is to be considered for presentation
at the Section meeting. Of course, content is also a factor; a beautifully
presented abstract reporting trivial results will not be accepted.
1. Size
The
abstract must fit within the designated area.
2. Style
The
template is set for Times Roman 12 pt which is a narrow font. It has been
chosen to permit a good quantity of text while still being readable. You may
change to a wider font to make a short abstract seem larger (although
this is in general a fairly pointless exercise) but you must not change
the point size. If you decide to change the font, please select one
which will be readable when the abstract is reduced by 50% for printing in J
Dent Res. Use single line spacing throughout. There is no need to justify
the text; a ragged right margin is preferable (as here). You must type the
abstract as one continuous paragraph.
3. Title box
Place
your cursor in the title box (the upper box with the indented left hand margin)
and click your left mouse button. Note that the box will hold 4 lines of text
only so any extra text will simply disappear! To overcome this you may well
need to abbreviate the information in the title box. This is best done by
having a short title (which is a good idea anyway), but abbreviating
institution names may help and, The whole title is entered as one paragraph. Do
not start the authors’ names or addresses on a new line. Enter your
information into the box as follows:
a.
Title
The
title must not exceed 10 words.
b.
Authors’ names
Initials
first (no full stops), SURNAME in capitals. Separate multiple authors with
commas; don’t place ‘and’ or ‘&’ before the last author. Place an asterisk
(*) after the name of the presenting author.
c.
Institution(s)
Abbreviate
if necessary; full postal addresses are unnecessary.
4. Text box
Place you cursor in the
text box (the big one!) and click your left mouse button. Note that the box
will hold 18 lines of text only so any extra text will simply disappear! The
whole text is entered as one paragraph. Enter your information into the box as
follows:
a.
Objective
State
the objective concisely.
b.
Background
Limit
the background information to what is essential. If you are referring to
published work then you must cite it; use the short form of citation.
c.
Methods
Give
enough detail for the reader to understand what techniques were used; include
details of statistical methods
d.
Results
Results
must be stated. You must not say, “results will be
presented/discussed.” If the method should ordinarily produce numerical
data, then numbers must be presented with appropriate statistical results.
e.
Conclusions
Conclusions
must be given. They must be underlined like this.
f.
Grants
Grants
and similar support must be acknowledged.
SO
Your completed abstract should
look something like the high quality submission which appears below after the
next set of instructions. This is a good time to note that if you wish to
scroll up and down within a text box, you must first click on the box contents
with the left mouse button, otherwise scrolling will simply move you to the
next box, not the next line.
We welcome any suggestions
which you have on this electronic submission format.

IL-1 Gene Polymorphisms in Edentulous Diabetic Oral Candidiasis
patients Z.N. AL-DWAIRI1, W. COULTER2, P. HYLAND3,

Type 2 diabetes mellitus forms more than 80% of the diabetes population.
On the other hand, oral candidiasis is the most common oral infection in
denture wearers. In recent years, it has become evident that for many common
chronic diseases, there are modifying factors that do not cause the disease but
rather amplify some disease mechanisms to make the clinical condition more
severe. A functional polymorphism of the IL-1 beta and alpha genes has been
proposed to be a risk factor for periodontitis. Objectives:In this study we
investigate for the first time, the influence of genetic polymorphism of IL-1
alpha +4849 gene and IL-1 beta +3954 gene on susceptibility to denture -
related stomatitis (DRS). Methods: 30 edentulous patients with NIDDM were
involved in this study, the severity of DRS was ranked according to Newton
scale, and their oral conditions and other findings were compared with 30 non
–diabetic, closely matched controls. The IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta loci were
genotyped by PCR amplification, followed by restriction enzyme digestion and
gel electrophoresis. The IL-1 +3954 allele 1 was carried by50% of patient with DRS
compared to 100% in patients with no infection. REsults: The prevalence of the
composite genotype with at least one allele 2 of the IL-1 beta +3954 was
carried by 50% in patients with infection compared to 0% in healthy individuals
and that was significantly correlated (p<0.05)with the severity of oral
candidiasis, while allele 2 of IL-1 alpha was carried by all patients .
Conclusions: This study demonstrates that
the composite IL-1 genotypes is significantly associated with the severity of
DRS, and it would appear that knowledge of this polymorphism may provide a
diagnostic predictive information for oral candidiasis.
