O RATO COMO MODELO EXPERIMENTAL DO DIABETES - ESTUDO CLINICO-LABORATORIAL

In this study, 90 Wistar rats were used. They were equally divided into three experimental groups - control group (CG), diabetic group (DG) and treated diabetic group (TG). The analyzed parameters were clinical (behavior, activity, general aspect, weight, water ingestion and diuresis) and biochemical (fasting glycemia and urinary glycosis). The diabetes was induced by alloxan and, then, treated with insulin associated to oral hypoglycemic (acarbosis). Observations were made at 5 experimental moments, as it follows: 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the diabetes induction. The results were submitted to variance analysis, with 5% of significance level. The DG presented lower weight and higher diuresis level than the CG and TG. The water ingestion of the CG was similar to TG. The glycemia levels were higher in DG than in CG, at every experimental moment. The TG, however, presented glycemia similar to the CG, except for the dosages at 3, and 9 months. They urinary glycosis of the DG and TG were similar between themselves, but higher than the one of the CG.

Evaluación de la primera alimentación en larvas de capaz pimelodus grosskopfii bajo condiciones de laboratorio

Evaluate the performance and survival of capaz larvae Pimelodus grosskopfii after supplying live food (Cladocera, Copepod and Artemia Salina). Materials and methods. Capaz larva were placed in plastic containers with an useful volume of 3 L , and a larvae density of 10 L-1, they were fed four times a day during 15 days with newly hatched Artemia nauplii, Cladocerans of the genders Moina and Ceriodaphnia and Copepods calanoides. Capaz larva were weighed and measured at the beginning and the end of the experiment in order to evaluate their weight gain (WG), length gain (LG), specific growth rate (SGR), relative growth factor (RGF), and survival rate(S). Results. The treatment that showed the best results in WG, LG and S was the lot fed with Artemia nauplii (3.8±0.2 mg, 8±0.7 mm and 48.3% respectively), followed by sample supplied with Cladocera and Copepods. Conclusions. The Artemia nauplii treatment revealed the best results on the productive variables evaluated in P. grosskopfii larvae at the beginning of their exogenous feeding.

Otimização do tracionamento de canino impactado pela técnica do arco segmentado: relato de caso clinico

Upper canines impaction are considered the second most frequent and are associated to important esthetics and functional limitations. Among the treatment strategies described in the literature the most commonly used are the extraction of the primary canines and the surgical exposure followed by orthodontic traction, that requires an adequate interdisciplinary approach. The aim of this case report is to draw the attention of the clinician to the possibility of adapting the segmented arch technique to manage a canine impaction clinical case.

Avaliação dos fatores críticos para a seleção e aplicação clínica dos pinos de fibra: relato de caso cliínico

Teeth that have lost much of their coronal tooth structure need intraradical devices to achieve a desired retention of the restorative material, restoring aesthetics and function to the patient. For this purpose, various types of intracanal posts have been studied, of wich the fiber posts have been highlighted with its increasing use in the dental market. The purpose of this study was to present a clinical case of using fiberglass post. As well as critically analyze the published works and points of controversy described by different authors related to factors such as different protocols cementation, surface treatments pins, fracture toughness and compression, the possibility of microleakage, diameter and length of the pin, and the various materials used in conjunction with the intracanal retainers. Thus, we concluded that fiber posts showed as an excellent alternative for anterior teeth, since have least 2 mm of tooth remaining.
