ABSTRACT
La periodontitis es una patología inflamatoria que aumenta la resorción de hueso alveolar (HA), pérdida de la inserción dentaria y posible exfoliación. Evaluamos el efecto de la administración intermitente de bajas dosis de parathormona (PTH) 1-34 sobre la recuperación de la masa ósea pérdida en un modelo experimental de periodontitis inducida por una ligadura periodontal (LP) con hilo de algodón alrededor de la pieza dentaria. Las ratas fueron divididas luego de 5 días en instaurada la periodontitis en: CT LP sin trata-miento y PTH LP tratados con 0,2 µg/kg PTH 1-34 subcutánea local, tres veces por semana por 17 días. El control absoluto fue un tercer grupo sin LP (CT). Se estudiaron parámetros antropométricos, bioquímicos e histomosfométricos en tibias y hemimandibulas. La calcemia, fosfatemia, CTX sérico, PTHi y vo-lumen óseo (BV/TV%) de tibias fueron similares en los tres grupos. El BV/TV% del HA fue significativamente menor en PTH LP respecto de CT pero mayor que CT LP (p<0.05). La pérdida ósea de HA porcentual fue significativamente mayor en CT LP (p<0.05). La altura del ligamento periodontal fue significativamente menor en PTH LP que en CT (p<0.05) y mayor respecto de CT LP, sin alcanzar diferencias significativas. Los resultados del presente estudio piloto sugieren que la administración intermitente de PTH en bajas dosis y durante un periodo de tiempo corto disminuye la progresión de la enfermedad periodontal sin generar efectos sistémicos. Como no se logró regenerar totalmente el tejido periodontal se requieren estudios adicionales. (AU)
Periodontitis is an inflammatory chronic disease with high prevalence in adults that induces a progressive alveolar bone (AB) loss leading to tooth loss. Experimental periodontitis can be induced in rats by cotton ligature placement (LP) in the gingival sulcus around the molar teeth. The biofilm accumulation and disruption of the gingival epithelium lead to bone resorption. We investigated whether intermittent administration of a low dose of PTH 1-34 may recover the alveolar bone loss in the experimental periodontitis induced in female Wistar rats. Animals were randomly divided in two groups which were subcutaneously injected with: saline solution (CT LP) or 0,2 µg/kg PTH 1-34 (PTH LP) three times per week during 17 days. Unligated rats were taken as healthy controls (CT). Anthropometric, biochemical and histologic analysis of tibia and hemimandible were done. No differences in serum calcium, phosphorus, CTX, PTHi or subchondral tibia bone volume (BV/TV%) were observed between the three groups. AB BV/TV% was significantly lower in PTH LP than in CT but higher than in CT LP (p<0.05). The highest percentage of AB loss was observed in CT LP. The height of periodontal ligament was lower in PTH LP than in CT (p<0.05) but not significantly higher than CT LP.The increase in AB loss by experimental periodontitis appears to be corrected by the intermittent administration of low doses of PTH without systemic effect. As the recovery of periodontal tissue was only partial, additional studies should be done.

PURPOSE: To compare three sterilization methods (autoclave, gamma irradiation and ethylene oxide) over non demineralized lyophilized bone allografts. METHODS: Bone allografts were implanted on paravertebral muscles of 21 rats. After 30 days animals were sacrificed and grafts underwent comparative analysis regarding histomorphometric and macroscopic parameters. RESULTS: Allografts that underwent the three sterilization methods presents similar weight gain, cortical thickness similar to control group, and less fibrosis than the control group. Grafts that underwent sterilization in autoclave presented less presence of multinucleated giant cells, although not statistically significant. There was also no statistically significant difference regarding mineralization on the three groups. CONCLUSION: The three sterilization methods cause similar effects on bone allografts regarding macroscopic and histomorphometric parameters.

Tem sido demonstrado que fatores genéticos influenciam a resposta do osso e esmalte ao fluoreto (F), mas os mecanismos moleculares envolvidos não estão bem definidos. No presente estudo, foi empregada uma abordagem proteômica livre de marcadores para identificar e avaliar alterações na expressão de proteínas ósseas em duas linhagens de camundongos com diferentes susceptibilidades à fluorose (A/J susceptível e 129P3/J resistente). Camundongos machos das linhagens 129P3/J e A/J foram distribuídos em três grupos para cada linhagem, que receberam ração com baixa concentração de F e água de beber contendo 0, 10 e 50 ppm F por 8 semanas. A concentração de F foi analisada no plasma e fêmur. A atividade da fosfatase alcalina foi dosada no plasma. Fêmur, tíbia e vértebra lombar foram submetidos à análise por micro-CT. A taxa de aposição mineral (MAR) também foi avaliada no osso cortical dos camundongos. Em adição, eletroforese unidimensional e cromatografia líquida - espectrometria de massas sequencial (LC-ESI-MS/MS) foram utilizadas para identificar e caracterizar as proteínas de fêmur da linhagem 129P3/J. Para análise proteômica quantitativa, proteínas ósseas foram extraídas para cada grupo empregando quatro diferentes etapas: (a) tampão PBS (pH 7,4) por 24h, (b) tampão de Guanidina HCl 4 M / Tris HCl 50 mM (pH 7,4) por 96 h, (c) tampão EDTA 0,5 M / Tris HCl 50 mM (pH 7,4) por 96 h, e por último (d) tampão de Guanidina HCl 4 M / Tris HCl 50 mM (pH 7,4) por 96 h. As proteínas ósseas extraídas para cada grupo foram separadamente submetidas ao LC-ESI-MS/MS, seguido da análise semi-quantitativa de diferença de expressão proteica livre de marcadores. Foram identificadas várias proteínas ósseas com alteração na abundância entre os 3 tratamentos com F para cada linhagem e entre as duas linhagens para cada tratamento com F (razão 1,5 or 0,5, respectivamente). O F promoveu alterações na expressão de proteínas envolvidas na osteogênese e osteoclastogênese de maneira distinta...
Genetic factors have been shown to influence bone and enamel responses to fluoride (F), but the molecular mechanisms involved remain unclear. In this study, a label-free proteomics approach was employed to identify and evaluate changes in bone protein expression of two mouse strains with different susceptibilities to fluorosis (A/J a susceptible strain, 129P3/J a resistant strain). Male 129P3/J and A/J mice were assigned to three groups given low-F food and water containing 0, 10 or 50 ppmF for 8 weeks. Plasma and femur were analyzed for F levels. Plasma was also evaluated for alkaline phosphatase activity. Femurs, tibiae and lumbar vertebrae were subjected to micro-CT analysis. Mineral apposition rate (MAR) was also measured in mice cortical bone. In addition, unidimensional electrophoresis and liquid chromatography/Tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) was used to identify and characterize the femur protein profile from 129P3/J mouse strain. For quantitative proteomic analysis, bone proteins were extracted using four different steps: (a) PBS buffer (pH 7.4) for 24h, (b) 4 M Guanidine HCl/50 mM Tris HCl buffer (pH 7.4) for 96 h, (c) 0.5 M EDTA/50 mM Tris HCl buffer (pH 7.4) for 96 h, followed by (d) 4 M Guanidine HCl/50 mM Tris HCl buffer (pH 7.4) for 96 h. Bone proteins extracted from each group were separately subjected to LC-ESI-MS/MS, followed by label-free semi-quantitative differential expression analysis. Changes in many bone proteins abundance were found among the F treatment groups for each mouse strain and between the strains for each F treatment group (ratio 1.5 or 0.5, respectively). F led to alterations in expression of proteins involved in osteogenesis and osteoclatogenesis in a different way for each strain. Although F treatment had no significant effects on BMD and histomorphometric measurements for both strains, mineral apposition rate (MAR) was higher in 129P3/J mice treated...

PURPOSE: To report long term treatment outcomes of osteofibrous dysplasia and association with adamantinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From January 1984 to July 2001, 14 patients with osteofibrous dysplasia were followed for an average of 108 months (78 to 260 months). Our patient group consisted of 6 men and 8 women, with a mean age of 13.9 years (2 to 65 years). We reviewed the clinical and pathological features of all 14 patients. RESULTS: Thirteen patients had a lesion in the tibia, while one patient had lesions in both the tibia and the fibula. Initial treatments were observation after biopsy (6 patients), curettage with or without a bone graft (3 patients), resection followed by a free vascularized fibular bone graft (4 patients), or resection and regeneration with the Ilizarov external fixation (1 patient). Curettage was performed on 6 patients due to recurrence or progression after the initial treatment. Among these patients, one was diagnosed with AD from the biopsy of the recurrent lesion. This patient was further treated by segmental resection and pasteurization. After the initial pathology slides of the 13 patients were reviewed with immunohistochemical cytokeratin staining, one patient diagnosis was changed from osteofibrous dysplasia to osteofibrous dysplasia-like adamantinoma. CONCLUSION: Some patients with osteofibrous dysplasia require close observation because of the high association risk between osteofibrous dysplasia and adamantinoma, Immunohistochemical staining may be helpful in differentiating these two diagnoses.
