- Neuropathologic chewing is an involuntary chewing reflex characterized by repetitive, forceful jaw movements, often leading to self-inflicted oral trauma. This case report aims to describe the dental management of a 13-year-old male with -associated disorder presenting with severe neuropathologic chewing and resulting oral trauma. A novel, custom-designed three-dimensional (3D)-printed intraoral appliance was fabricated to protect the oral tissues. The appliance prevented further self-inflicted injury and supported tissue healing, significantly improving the patient's quality of life. This case highlights the role of personalized dental intervention in managing neuropathologic chewing. It emphasizes the potential of 3D printing as an innovative and effective solution for complex neurogenetic disorders and underscores the importance of interdisciplinary care in pediatric dental management. - Source: PubMed

Delgado-Alvarado ManuelCarecchio MiryamOnecha EstherRivera María JesúsInfante JonRiancho Javier - This study investigated the effect of single Gα and Gα, as well as double Gα knockout on the cerebellar anatomy and synapse formation. The alpha subunit of the G protein Go exists in two splice variants. Knockout of certain Gαo subtypes result in strong-mainly motor-deficits in mice, and mutations in the responsible gene locus in humans can result in severe encephalopathies. We aimed to decipher the hitherto incompletely understood contribution of the individual Gα subunits to the anatomy and synapse formation of the cerebellum. Knockout of Gα reduced the size of the cerebellum by 11%, accompanied by maximal reductions of the molecular layer thickness in the central lobule III (-30%) and molecular layer area in the uvula (-33%). Knockout of Gα increased cerebellar size, molecular layer thickness in central lobule II (+18.6%), and area of the culmen (+37%). Combined deletion of Gα and Gα reduced cerebellar size by 12%, molecular layer thickness and area of the declive (by -27.3% and -23.4%, respectively). Moreover, VGLUT2-positive climbing fiber contacts to Purkinje cells were reduced in Gα knockout mice (on average by 40%). Similarly, VGLUT1 expression was reduced (on average by 17.3%). The knockout of Gα promoted climbing fiber contacts (+14.3% on average, at a maximum of +52.6% in the central lobule II), VGLUT1 was less affected. Double knockout mice exhibited negative effects on VGLUT2 (-35% overall number) and VGLUT1 (-23% on average in expression levels). VGAT-positive synaptic contacts were also diminished for Gα and double knockout (-25% and -31% overall number, respectively) and increased for Gα knockout (+13% on average). In line with this, negative effects on the dendritic outgrowth of Purkinje cells were observed in both Gα and Gα mice, while knockout of Gα promoted dendrite outgrowth. Taken together, the two Gαo splice variants contrarily contribute to the development of the cerebellum, with Gα representing the dominant subunit. - Source: PubMed
Höltje MarkusWolkowicz AntonAhnert-Hilger Gudrun - Neuropathic pain is a debilitating condition with limited effective treatments, highlighting an urgent need for non-opioid analgesic targets. Gαo, encoded by the Gnao1 gene, is an abundant G protein in the nervous system and couples to multiple inhibitory GPCRs, but its role in chronic pain remains poorly understood. - Source: PubMed
