Increased salivary acetaldehyde levels in heavy drinkers and smokers: a microbiological approach to oral cavity cancer
Nils Homann,Jyrki Tillonen,Jukka H. Meurman,Hanna Rintamäki,Christian Lindqvist,Merja Rautio,Hannele Jousimies-Somer,Mikko Salaspuro +7 more
TL;DR: Increased local microbial salivary acetaldehyde production due to ethanol among smokers and heavy drinkers could be a biological explanation for the observed synergistic carcinogenic action of alcohol and smoking on upper gastrointestinal tract cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oat β-glucan and xylan hydrolysates as selective substrates for Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus strains
Johanna Jaskari,Pia Kontula,A. Siitonen,Hannele Jousimies-Somer,Tiina Mattila-Sandholm,Kaisa Poutanen +5 more
TL;DR: Novel oligomers that resist digestion in the upper gut were prepared from oat mixed-linked β-glucan and xylan by enzymatic hydrolysis with lichenase of Bacillus subtilis and x Dylanase of Trichoderma reesei respectively, which enhanced the growth of health-promoting probiotic strains as compared with intestinal bacterial growth, but not to a significant level.
Journal ArticleDOI
High acetaldehyde levels in saliva after ethanol consumption: methodological aspects and pathogenetic implications.
TL;DR: It is concluded, that the microbial formation of acetaldehyde in saliva could be one explanation for the tumor promoting effect of ethanol on the upper gastrointestinal tract and this may support the epidemiological finding, that poor oral hygiene is an independent risk factor for oral cavity cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age, Dental Infections, and Coronary Heart Disease:
Kimmo Mattila,Sirkka Asikainen,Juhani Wolf,Hannele Jousimies-Somer,Ville Valtonen,Markku S. Nieminen +5 more
TL;DR: The role of dental infections as a coronary risk factor varies according to the characteristics of the population studied, and the higher age of the participants in the present study is the most likely reason for the results.
