RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The present paper aims to demonstrate the incorporation of the double monolithic protocol (DMP) into a chairside digital workflow to reproduce the fluorescence properties of natural teeth with chairside monolithic restorations when exposed to different light sources. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: A female patient reporting dissatisfaction with her upper anterior teeth was rehabilitated using seven veneers and a three-element bridge. The DMP was applied to the bridge, which consisted of a primary lithium disilicate framework to which leucite-reinforced glass ceramic veneers were cemented. The fluorescence of the different substrates and ceramic restorations was evaluated throughout the rehabilitation process, under 365 and 405 nm light. CONCLUSIONS: The DMP allows chairside procedures to be optimized by achieving predictable, mechanically resistant, and esthetic restorations. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The DMP is a new chairside solution for developing ceramic restorations with optimal esthetics and combined mechanical properties, eliminating the need for sintering or glazing procedures.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This article aims to demonstrate the clinical application of a comprehensive workflow that integrates digital tools for accurate color matching, and its immediate implementation in the restoration of anterior teeth. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: Two patients demonstrating dissatisfaction regarding a maxillary central incisor had an old restoration replaced resorting to a digital workflow to enhance the predictability of the new direct restoration. OptiShade allowed the precise assessment of tooth color and the CompoShade application provided precise color and material selection, as well as the determination of a layering strategy. Precision and accuracy of the colorimeter and the composite layering application were demonstrated clinically in vivo. CONCLUSIONS: Implementing a digital workflow with the integration of OptiShade measurements and the CompoShade layering recipe calculation, as well as the respective realistic try-in, enables the achievement of precise color matching for anterior composite restorations. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The employment of a digital colorimeter and layering recipes simplify shade matching, and optimizes composite resin clinical use and success. The implementation of a realistic try-in, previous to the definitive restoration, allows the clinician to perform any adjustments if needed.

RESUMO

Disintegrins are a class of peptides found in snake venom that inhibit the activity of integrins, which are essential cell adhesion receptors in tumor progression and development. In this work, moojecin, a RGD disintegrin, was isolated from Bothrops moojeni snake venom, and its antitumor potential in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) HL-60 and THP-1 cells was characterized. The isolation was performed using a C18 reverse-phase column in two chromatographic steps, and its molecular mass is 7417.84 Da. N-terminal and de novo sequencing was performed to identify moojecin. Moojecin did not show cytotoxic or antiproliferative activity in THP-1 and HL-60 at tested concentrations, but it exhibited significant antimigratory activity in both cell lines, as well as inhibition of angiogenesis in the tube formation assay on Matrigel in a dose-dependent manner. A stronger interaction with integrin αVß3 was shown in integrin interaction assays compared to α5ß1, and the platelet aggregation assay indicated an IC50 of 5.039 µg/mL. Preliminary evaluation of disintegrin toxicity revealed no incidence of hemolysis or cytotoxic effects on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) across the tested concentrations. Thus, this is the first study to report the isolation, functional and structural characterization of a disintegrin from B. moojeni venom and bring a new perspective to assist in AML treatment.

RESUMO

Soil mineralogy and texture are directly related to soil carbon due to the physical properties of the clay surface. Traditional techniques for quantifying carbon in soil are time-consuming and expensive, making large-scale quantification for mapping unfeasible. The alternative is the use of soil sensors, such as diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), an economical, fast, and accurate technique for predicting carbon stocks. In this sense, this study aimed to (a) investigate the relationship of C with different soil mineralogical, chemical, and physical attributes for different geological and geomorphological compartments; (b) understand which spectral bands are most important for estimating C content; (c) estimate C content from diffuse reflectance spectroscopy using different mathematical techniques and indicate which one is the best for tropical soil conditions; and (d) map C contents in detail. The study area was the Western Plateau of São Paulo (WPSP), which covers approximately 13 million hectares (~ 48% of the State of São Paulo, Brazil). A total of 265 samples were collected in this area. The attributes clay, silt, sand, crystalline and non-crystalline iron, base saturation, soil density, total pore volume, total C, C stock, kaolinite/(kaolinite + gibbsite) and hematite/(hematite + goethite), hematite and goethite contents, and spectral curves were evaluated. The spectra were recorded at 0.5-nm intervals, with an integration time of 2.43 nm s-1 over the 350 to 2500-nm range (350-800 nm-visible-VIS and 801-2500 nm-near-infrared-NIR). The data were subjected to descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation, stepwise analysis, and cluster grouping for characterization purposes; partial least squares regression (PLSR) and random forest (RF) for estimation purposes; and geostatistics analysis for creation of spatial maps. Our results indicate that the highest C contents are associated with more clayey soils, oxidic mineralogy, higher total pore volume, and lower soil density in highly dissected basalt compartments. The random forest algorithm associated with the Vis-NIR spectral range is more efficient for estimating and mapping C contents. This suggests that integrating diffuse reflectance spectroscopy with machine learning techniques holds promise for shaping public policies related to land use, mitigating CO2 emissions, and facilitating the implementation of carbon credit policies in a rapid and economically efficient manner.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of oral conditions and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in children and adolescents with blood coagulation disorders and hemoglobinopathies (BCDH). The study was cross-sectional and included 61 individuals aged 2 to 18 years with BCDH. Exams for dental caries (dmft/DMFT index), oral hygiene (simplified oral hygiene index - OHI-S), and gingival health (modified gingival index - MGI) were performed. The pediatric quality of life inventory™ (PedsQL™) generic core scale and oral health scale were used to measure HRQoL and OHRQoL. Spearman's correlation coefficient (ρ) and the Mann-Whitney test (α = 0.05) were conducted to assess the relationship between covariates and the PedsQL™ oral health scale. The mean PedsQL™ oral health scale score was 76.66 (SD = 21.36). Worse OHRQoL was correlated with poor oral hygiene (ρ = -0.383; p: 0.004), poor gingival health (ρ = -0.327; p = 0.014), and better HRQoL (ρ = 0.488; p < 0.001). Greater untreated dental caries experience was associated with worse OHRQoL (p = 0.009). Worse oral health status in children and adolescents with BCDH negatively impacts OHRQoL, and OHRQoL and quality of life analyzed from a generic perspective are positively correlated constructs in this population.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This article aims to showcase the implementation of a digital workflow in addressing a case of multifactorial excessive gingival display in a patient with high esthetic demands, incorporating both surgical and restorative interventions in a single session. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: A 28-year-old female patient presented with excessive gingival display, attributed to a combination of short teeth due to altered passive eruption, lip hyperactivity, and a sub-nasal depression that lodged the upper lip during spontaneous smiling. The multidisciplinary treatment strategy encompassed surgical crown lengthening, the placement of a biovolume in the maxillary concavity, and the rehabilitation of the six anterior teeth with direct composite resin, all done in a single session. Smilecloud Biometrics was used to digitally plan the smile, and the final wax-up/mock-up was approved by the patient prior to any irreversible procedure. A digital planning center (GuiderLab) enabled the materialization of the virtual planning and the printing of the periodontal surgical guide, the biovolume, and the resin layering guides for the restorative technique. CONCLUSIONS: Adopting a digital workflow in multidisciplinary cases with excessive gingival display leads to predictable and more expedited outcomes, ensuring a favorable result between soft and hard tissues. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Excessive gingival display is a condition with multifactorial etiologies, including dentoalveolar, periodontal, skeletal, or muscular origins, or a combination of these factors. The diagnoses of altered passive eruption and a hypermobile upper lip are common in daily clinical practice and can be successfully managed through surgical crown lengthening and filling of the maxillary concavity, respectively. To achieve the desired outcome, restorative procedures often complement these surgical interventions.

RESUMO

Background: Premature infants often experience frequent hypoxic episodes due to immaturity of respiratory control that may result in disturbances of gray and white matter development and long-term cognitive and behavioral abnormalities. We hypothesize that neonatal intermittent hypoxia alters cortical maturation of excitatory and inhibitory circuits that can be detected early with functional MRI. Methods: C57BL/6 mouse pups were exposed to an intermittent hypoxia (IH) regimen consisting of 12 to 20 daily hypoxic episodes of 5% oxygen exposure for 2 min at 37C from P3 to P7, followed by MRI at P12 and electrophysiological recordings in cortical slices and in vivo at several time points between P7 and P13. Behavioral tests were conducted at P41-P50 to assess animal activity and motor learning. Results: Adult mice after neonatal IH exhibited hyperactivity in open field test and impaired motor learning in complex wheel tasks. Patch clamp and evoked field potential electrophysiology revealed increased glutamatergic transmission accompanied by elevation of tonic inhibition. A decreased synaptic inhibitory drive was evidenced by miniature IPSC frequency on pyramidal cells, multi-unit activity recording in vivo in the motor cortex with selective GABA A receptor inhibitor picrotoxin injection, as well as by the decreased interneuron density at P13. There was also an increased tonic depolarizing effect of picrotoxin after IH on principal cells' membrane potential on patch clamp and direct current potential in extracellular recordings. The amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation on resting-state fMRI was larger, with a larger increase after picrotoxin injection in the IH group. Conclusions: Increased excitatory glutamatergic transmission, decreased numbers, and activity of inhibitory interneurons after neonatal IH may affect the maturation of connectivity in cortical networks, resulting in long-term cognitive and behavioral changes, including impaired motor learning and hyperactivity. Functional MRI reveals increased intrinsic connectivity in the sensorimotor cortex, suggesting neuronal dysfunction in cortical maturation after neonatal IH. The increased tonic inhibition, presumably due to tonic extrasynaptic GABA receptor drive, may be compensatory to the elevated excitatory glutamatergic transmission.

RESUMO

This study aimed to evaluate the virulence of Heterorhabditis amazonenses NEPT11 against larvae of Stomoxys calcitrans. Groups of 10 third-instar fly larvae were deposited in Petri dishes, to which were added 50, 100 and 200 EPNs/larva in 4ml of distilled water. The volume of the control group was the same as the treated group, but without EPNs. Larval mortality was observed daily, until larvae died or adults emerged. The Petri dishes were kept on laboratory shelves at 27 ± 1 °C and 70 ± 10% RH. The experiment was replicated six times. A regression analysis revealed quadratic behavior with increasing concentrations, indicating that the concentration of 200 EPNs/larva (48%) was the most efficient among the tested concentrations, while concentrations of 50 and 100 EPNs/larva killed 26.6 and 40% of larvae, respectively. In general, none of the treatments resulted in a mortality rate of more than 50%, but all the treated groups exhibited a higher mortality than that of the control group. It is concluded that the EPN H. amazonensis NEPT11 shows a promising potential to control third-instar larvae of S. calcitrans. However, further studies are needed in different situations to better understand the activity of this organism against the immature stages of the stable fly.


Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a ação do NEP Heterorhabditis amazonenses NEPT11 frente larvas de S. calcitrans. Grupos de 10 larvas de terceiro instar da mosca foram depositados em placas de Petri, em seguida, adicionou-se 50, 100, 200, 300 e 400 NEPs/larva em 4ml de água destilada. O volume do grupo controle foi o mesmo dos tratados, porém sem NEPs. A mortalidade das larvas foi observada diariamente, até a morte das larvas ou emergência de adultos. As placas foram mantidas em estantes de laboratório a 27 ± 1 °C e 70 ± 10% UR. O experimento teve seis repetições. Por meio da análise de regressão, foi observado comportamento quadrático com o aumento das concentrações, sendo a concentração de 200 NEPs/larva (48%) a de maior eficiência entre as concentrações testadas, já as concentrações de 50 e 100 NEPs/larva mataram 26,6 e 40% das larvas, respectivamente. De modo geral, nenhum tratamento proporcionou mortalidade superior a 50%, todavia, todos os grupos tratados apresentaram mortalidade superior à observada no controle. Conclui-se que H. amazonenses NEPT11 mostrou-se promissor no controle de larvas de terceiro instar de S. calcitrans, porém mais estudos devem ser feitos para o melhor entendimento da ação deste organismo frente aos estágios imaturos da mosca-dos-estábulos.

RESUMO

Ascending aortic aneurysm (AAoA) is a silent disease with high mortality; however, the factors associated with a worse prognosis are not completely understood. The objective of this observational, longitudinal, single-center study was to identify the hemodynamic patterns and their influence on AAoA growth using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), focusing on the effects of geometrical variations on aortic hemodynamics. Personalized anatomic models were obtained from angiotomography scans of 30 patients in two different years (with intervals of one to three years between them), of which 16 (53%) showed aneurysm growth (defined as an increase in the ascending aorta volume by 5% or more). Numerically determined velocity and pressure fields were compared with the outcome of aneurysm growth. Through a statistical analysis, hemodynamic characteristics were found to be associated with aneurysm growth: average and maximum high pressure (superior to 100 Pa); average and maximum high wall shear stress (superior to 7 Pa) combined with high pressure (>100 Pa); and stress load over time (maximum pressure multiplied by the time interval between the exams). This study provides insights into a worse prognosis of this serious disease and may collaborate for the expansion of knowledge about mechanobiology in the progression of AAoA.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This scoping review aims to assess the influence of air abrasion with aluminum oxide and bioactive glass on dentin bond strength. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An electronic search was conducted in three databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase), on March 3rd, 2023, with previously identified MeSH Terms. A total of 1023 records were screened. Exclusion criteria include primary teeth, air abrasion of a substrate other than sound dentin, use of particles apart from aluminum oxide or bioactive glass, and studies in which bond strength was not assessed. RESULTS: Out of the 1023 records, title and abstract screening resulted in the exclusion of 895 and 67 studies, respectively, while full-text analysis excluded another 25 articles. In addition, 5 records were not included, as full texts could not be obtained after requesting the authors. Two cross-references were added. Thus, 33 studies were included in this review. It is important to emphasize the absence of standardization of air abrasion parameters. According to 63.6% of the studies, air abrasion does not influence dentin bond strength. Moreover, 30.3% suggest improving bonding performance, and 6.1% advocate a decrease. CONCLUSIONS: Air abrasion with aluminum oxide does not enhance or impair dentin bond strength. The available data on bioactive glass are limited, which hinders conclusive insights. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Dentin air abrasion is a widely applied technique nowadays, with numerous clinical applications. Despite the widespread adoption of this procedure, its potential impact on bonding performance requires a thorough analysis of the existing literature.

RESUMO

The number of guinea pigs is increasing as pet and their domestication necessitates the study of their pathology and emerging diseases. This study aimed to evaluate guinea pigs' capacity to be infested by Ctenocephalides felis felis fleas, as it is a common parasite among pets that causes irritation, stress, and transmission of other pathogens. Seventeen guinea pigs were infested with C. felis felis. After 48 hours, the animals were combed, and the number of fleas was determined. Guinea pigs had a very low recovery (average of 5%), leading us to conclude that they are not good hosts for this species, despite some literature citing it as an accidental host if infested along with dogs or cats.


Os porquinhos-da-índia como animal de estimação têm aumentado cada vez mais, e, sua domesticação trouxe a necessidade de estudos sobre suas patologias e doenças emergentes. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a capacidade de infestação dos porquinhos-da-índia pela pulga Ctenocephalides felis felis, ectoparasita comum entre os animais domésticos que causa irritação, estresse e transmissão de outros patógenos. Dezessete animais foram infestados com C. felis felis. Após 48 horas, os animais foram penteados e o número de pulgas determinado. Os porquinhos-da-índia tiveram uma recuperação muito baixa (média de 5%), levando-nos a concluir que estes não são bons hospedeiros para essa espécie de pulga, apesar de algumas literaturas os citarem como hospedeiro acidental se conviverem juntamente com cães ou gatos infestados.

RESUMO

The main objective of this prospective study was the evaluation of 1 mm step titration of mandible advancement in the success of treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). For that, a multicenter prospective study was designed to recruit patients with OSA who were eligible to receive a mandibular advancement device. Gradual titration of mandibular advancement (steps of 1 mm) from maximum intercuspidation was performed to determine the optimal mandibular advancement (highest reduction in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)). The principal variable was the percentage of patients where a reduction ≥50% of the AHI was achieved at the end of the titration phase. A total of 102 patients participated in this study. Fifty-six percent of the participants were males and 67% had a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2. Most of the patients (79%) had an age ≥ 50 years and the majority (74%) were either non-smokers or ex-smokers. Excessive daytime sleepiness was reported by 40% of the patients. The mean AHI at baseline was 20.6 ± 12.7 events/h. The mean advancement of the mandible was 3.1 ± 1.6 mm. The device achieved a reduction in the AHI in 93% of the patients and success (≥50% reduction in the AHI) in 69% of the patients. Success was achieved in 50%, 81.6%, and 73.3% of the patients with mild, moderate, and severe OSA, respectively. Decreasing the magnitude of mandibular advancement could be possible by controlling the vertical mouth opening and step-by-step titration.

RESUMO

Snake venom disintegrins are low molecular weight, non-enzymatic proteins rich in cysteine, present in the venom of snakes from the families Viperidae, Crotalidae, Atractaspididae, Elapidae, and Colubridae. This family of proteins originated in venom through the proteolytic processing of metalloproteinases (SVMPs), which, in turn, evolved from a gene encoding an A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease (ADAM) molecule. Disintegrins have a recognition motif for integrins in their structure, allowing interaction with these transmembrane adhesion receptors and preventing their binding to proteins in the extracellular matrix and other cells. This interaction gives disintegrins their wide range of biological functions, including inhibition of platelet aggregation and antitumor activity. As a result, many studies have been conducted in an attempt to use these natural compounds as a basis for developing therapies for the treatment of various diseases. Furthermore, the FDA has approved Tirofiban and Eptifibatide as antiplatelet compounds, and they are synthesized from the structure of echistatin and barbourin, respectively. In this review, we discuss some of the main functional and structural characteristics of this class of proteins and their potential for therapeutic use.

RESUMO

The main goals of this study were to identify profiles in school-aged children based on actual Motor Competence (MC) and accuracy of Perceived Motor Competence (PMC) and to examine how children with different profiles differ in terms of Physical Fitness (PF) and Body Fat percentage (BF%). The MC of a total of 287 children (51.6% boys, aged between 6 and 10 years-old) was assessed using the Motor Competence Assessment (MCA) instrument, and the accuracy of the PMC was measured using motor tasks (standing long jump, throwing, kicking, and walking backwards). PF and BF% were assessed using the 20m shuttle run test and TANITA, respectively. Cluster (C) analysis revealed four profiles, two of which were aligned - high MC-accurate PMC (C4) and low-inaccurate (C2), and two that were non-aligned - high-inaccurate (C1) and low-accurate (C3). Children in C4 performed better on PF and had less BF% than children in C3 and C2.

RESUMO

The concept of sustainability has gained prominence in recent years, enhancing the need to develop products that are less harmful to the environment. Dyes are used by various industrial sectors and have a lot of market value; they are used on a large scale mainly by the textile industry that uses large volumes of water and is one of the main contributors to the contamination of water bodies. Some natural compounds, especially anthraquinones are re-emerging as possible alternatives to synthetic dyes, some of which are known for their toxic and/or mutagenic effects. The BioColour project (https://biocolour.fi/) which is interested in promoting the development of new alternative molecules to synthetic dyes, provided us highly purified anthraquinone dyes dermocybin and dermorubin (>98% purity) extracted from a specie of fungus Cortinarius sanguineus. Dyes were tested for their acute and chronic toxicity using different aquatic organisms. Dermorubin was not toxic to any of the organisms tested for the highest test concentration of 1 mg L-1 and it was the most promising dye. Dermocybin was toxic to Daphnia similis (EC50 = 0.51 mg L-1), Ceriodaphnia dubia (IC10 = 0.13 mg L-1) and Danio rerio embryos (extrapolated LC50 = 2.44 mg L-1). A safety limit, i.e, predicted no-effect concentration (PNEC) of 0.0026 mg L-1 was derived based on the toxicity of dermocybin. The PNEC value can be used to provide hazard information for future application in commercial dyeing processes. Then, we compared the toxicity of dermocybin and dermorubin with ecotoxicity data available in the literature on other anthraquinone dyes of natural and synthetic origin. Some natural dyes can be as toxic as synthetic ones, or more toxic when chronic effects are considered. Despite natural dyes being used since centuries past, there are few ecotoxicological studies available. This study is designed to help develop a more comprehensive understanding of their toxicological properties.

RESUMO

This study aimed to evaluate the use of different adhesive substances in an method to monitor the development of C. felis felis eggs. Three adhesive substances were selected: cyanoacrylate, stick glue, and liquid silicone. The eggs were obtained from a laboratory colony and placed on a thin layer of adhesive substance on the lid of a Petri dish to prevent contact with the larval growth substrate. One hundred eggs were used for each adhesive substance. The development of the eggs was monitored for three consecutive days, during which larval hatching and egg characteristics were observed. Of the 100 eggs incubated for each adhesive substance, 64, 51, and 76 larvae hatched and survived from the stick glue, cyanoacrylate, and liquid silicone plates, respectively. After 30 days of incubation, 59, 45, and 68 hatched adults were observed, respectively, in these groups. The mean hatching of larvae and adults between the liquid silicone and cyanoacrylate groups differed statistically (p < 0.05). This study demonstrated positive results, and that liquid silicone was the most easily applicable adhesive substance on the plate and interfered less with egg development, therefore having the best larval recovery compared to incubated eggs compared to the other substances.
