RESUMEN

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the influence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), related to genes in salivary composition and flow, on dental caries experience. Sixteen studies were included in the systematic review and ten in the meta-analysis. Forty-four SNPS, covering four genes (CA6, AQP2, AQP5, and MUC5B) were identified. Most of the SNPs were not associated with caries in meta-analysis. Homozygous TT genotype of the SNP CA6 rs17032907(C/T) was associated with caries [OR = 3.23(1.39-7.49)]. The pool effect of the SNPs assessed in AQP5 was associated with a reduction in the likelihood of caries [OR = 0.75(0.59-0.95)]. Considering all SNPs of salivary composition and flow, the effect allele was associated with a 75% increase in the likelihood of caries [OR = 1.75(1.06-2.89)] in the homozygous genotype. The present findings showed that the genes in salivary composition and flow can play an important role in dental caries experience.

RESUMEN

The present study aimed to analyze the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the rates of periodontal procedures, and provide a comparison with general dental care and primary medical care procedures carried out in the Brazilian Public Health System. The study had an ecological, retrospective design with data from 5,564 Brazilian municipalities (99.9%). A multilevel mixed-effects linear regression was used to analyze the longitudinal associations between the COVID-19 pandemic and the rate of procedures. There was a significant reduction in the number of periodontal procedures (Coef. -428.6 [95%CI -774.3/-82.9]) during the COVID-19 pandemic, although this reduction was no greater than that of medical and general dental procedures. Medical procedures witnessed the sharpest drop in procedures (Coef. -2831.5 [95%CI -3964.1/-1699.0]). A lower rate of general dental procedures was also identified during the pandemic (Coef. -2,110.6 [95%CI -3,400.8/-820.4]). The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on the rate of periodontal procedures carried out in the Brazilian Public Health System. The highest recutions were observed in general dental and medical procedures.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to systematically review the literature investigating the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) related to taste genes and their influence on caries. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Search was performed in five databases to respond to the question: 'Are the polymorphisms of taste genes associated with dental caries?'. Studies in humans were included. Assessment of quality of studies, meta-analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed. RESULTS: Seven studies were included in the systematic review and two in meta-analysis. Most of studies (71.4%) presented cohort design with low-level of evidence. A total of 4,032 individuals were evaluated. Four different taste genes (TAS1R2, TAS2R38, TAS1R3 and GLUT2) and 12 SNPs were reported. Most SNPs of taste genes showed a protective effect of the minor allele against dental caries. Meta-analysis included the SNP rs713598 placed in the TAS2R38 gene. The results suggest an effect of the heterozygote genotype (CG), which was associate with low caries experience (OR = 0.35 CI95% [0.17-0.75]). However, the genotype GG was not associated (OR = 0.17 CI95% [0.03-1.04]). Sensitivity analysis showed an important influence of one study in the results. CONCLUSIONS: SNP of taste genes seems to be associated with caries experience. Causal inferences should be interpreted with caution and the results must be replicated in different populations.

RESUMEN

Abstract: The regional knowledge of species diversity and distribution is important to support conservation strategies for species and their habitats. The main goal of this work is to present a checklist of Odonata species in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, as well as their known locations in the municipalities. The preparation of the list was based in data gathered from collections of Museu de Ciências da Universidade do Vale do Taquari (UNIVATES), Laboratório de Ecologia e Evolução da Universidade do Vale do Taquari (UNIVATES), Museu de Ciências Naturais da Fundação Zoootânica, Museu de Zoologia da Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS) plus data extracted from 65 publications and the sites SpeciesLink, All Odonata and Puget Sound University. A total of 182 Odonata species were recorded, spanning nine families and 57 genera. The most representative family was Libellulidae (80 species) followed by Coenagrionidae (41 species) and seven species are new records for Rio Grande do Sul. The list of species presented here is a significant advance compared to previous counts for Rio Grande do Sul, however, our list is by no means a final one. Some regions of the state remain poorly explored, such as the border to Uruguay also in the northernmost part of the state. Several families remain poorly sampled, especially those that inhabit small forested streams and probably there are many specimens which are not cataloged and identified yet in scientific collections, both in the state and in the country.


Resumo: O conhecimento regional da diversidade e da distribuição das espécies é importante para subsidiar estratégias de conservação tanto para as espécies e seus respectivos habitats. O principal objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma lista de espécies de Odonata que ocorrem no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, bem como suas localizações conhecidas nos municípios. Para a elaboração da lista, foram utilizados dados das coleções do Museu de Ciências da UNIVATES, do Laboratório de Ecologia e Evolução da Universidade do Vale do Taquari (UNIVATES), do Museu de Ciências Naturais da Fundação Zoo-Botânica e do Museu de Zoologia da Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS) somados à dados extraídos de 65 publicações e dos sites SpeciesLink, All Odonata e Puget Sound University. Um total de 182 espécies de Odonata foram registradas, abrangendo nove famílias e 57 gêneros. A família mais representativa foi Libellulidae (80 espécies) seguida por Coenagrionidae (41 espécies). Além do mais, sete espécies são novos registros para o Rio Grande do Sul. A lista de espécies aqui apresentada demonstra um avanço significativo em relação às contagens anteriores para o Rio Grande do Sul, no entanto, nossa lista não é de forma alguma final. Algumas regiões do estado continuam pouco exploradas, como aquelas que fazem fronteira com o Uruguai ou estão mais ao norte do Estado. Várias famílias permanecem mal amostradas, especialmente aquelas que habitam pequenos córregos em florestas e, provavelmente, existem muitos exemplares que ainda não estão catalogados e identificados em coleções científicas, tanto no estado quanto no país.
