Estudo morfométrico do canal do hipoglosso

The hypoglossal nerve (HN) is responsible for the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue. Knowledge of this is extremely important because this nerve is responsible for tongue movement. HN paralysis can be associated to the disease itself in various zones in which the NH travels, mainly the hypoglossal canal (HC). Variations in shape of the hypoglossal canal have been pointed to as the cause of HN paralysis in several studies. Four hundred dried intact human skulls without sex or race identification, belonging to the Discipline of Anatomy of ICTSJC – UNESP were studied. Each canal was classified into types: type I (without division in the HC), type II (HC with low bone spike), type III (HC more than two projections bone), type IV (presence of complete bony bridge without dividing HC into two distinct canals) and type V (presence of bone bridge by dividing into two HC canals). HC was found in 100% of skulls studied in both side. Regarding types, we found 538 (67.25%) hypoglossal canal of type I (34%, right side and 33.25%, left side), 108 (13.5%) of type II (7.38%, right side, and 6.13%, left side), 60 (7.5%) hypoglossal canal of type III (3.5%, right side and 4.0%, left side) 84 (10.5%) of type IV (4.75%, right side and 5.75%, left side) and 5 (0.63%) of the type V (0.13%, right side and 0.5%, left side). We found 5 (0,63%) different HC and classified ourselves in type VI, VII and VIII. The average angle was 51,3º on right side and 50,25º on left side. Detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the CH supports professionals in interventions of bloody skull base and also in giving the correct diagnosis of the probable causes of paralysis of the hypoglossal nerve

O DNA, seus incríveis números e seus segredos

O DNA existe por um único motivo – criar mais DNA. Em cada célula do nosso organismo, o filamento estendido de DNA chega a ter cerca de 2 metros. Se você imaginar que em nosso corpo há perto de 10 trilhões de células, você terá uma ideia da enormidade de DNA que nós possuímos. Assim, se todo o seu DNA fosse emendado em um único filamento, seria tão comprido que se estenderia da Terra à Lua, ida e volta, várias vezes. Pudera, você é proprietário de 20 milhões de quilômetros de DNA. Seu corpo, em suma, é uma máquina de produzir DNA e sem ele você não conseguiria viver. Mas o próprio DNA, apesar de ser considerado “a base da vida”, não está vivo. Ao contrário de qualquer outra molécula, ele é, por assim dizer, “inanimado”. Não é reativo e quimicamente inerte. Por essas razões, pode ser recuperado de restos de sangue, de sêmen, ou de pele secos há muito tempo – milhares de anos, até.

Avaliação da espessura do osso parietal como região doadora de enxertos ósseos.

Introduction: The study of graft donor sites, whether from the anatomical, physiological or morphological point of view, has become a topic of current interest, due to the increasing number of patients needing facial bone reconstruction for various reasons. Purpose: In view of the need to constantly improve surgical techniques for autogenous bone graft harvesting, still considered the best choice for facial bone reconstruction, this paper describes an anatomical study on dry skulls in order to evaluate the average thickness of the parietal bone. Material and Methods: Measurements of this bone were taken with a goniometer, at four previously defined points, in the region that is often used as a donor site, in 49 dry skulls (98 parietal bones). The results were evaluated using the T test. Results: Thickness was measured at four predetermined points. The mean values (Point A = 4898mm, B = 4517mm, C = 6185mm, D = 4280mm) show that the bone can be even thinner than previously reported in the literature in other studies of the same nature. The largest bone thickness is in the medial and posterior region. Conclusion: A knowledge of these anatomical characteristics is helpful in preventing possible surgical complications, as well as making it safer for the surgeon to remove this graft and providing more information on whether or not to indicate this region as a bone graft donor site.

Ação solvente do salicilato de metila sobre resilon e guta-percha

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the action of methyl salicylate in dissolving Resilon and gutta-percha. Material and method: Ten discs of Resilon, Alpha gutta-percha and ProTaper gutta-percha were prepared (10 mm diameter × 1 mm thick) and kept at 37 °C for 48 hours. Each sample was weighed in a balance of accuracy determining the initial mass. The specimens were immersed in methyl salicylate or xylene (control) for 5  minutes, rinsed in water for 30 minutes, dried and subsequently weighed in 24 hours intervals until the stabilization of weight (final mass). The solvent capacity was expressed by the difference between the final and initial mass. The data were analyzed by using ANOVA and Tukey test with significance level of 5%. Result: The results showed that the methyl salicylate was more effective on Resilon than on gutta-percha (p < 0.05). Methyl salicylate and xylene had similar solvent action on Resilon (p > 0.05). The xylene showed better performance on gutta-percha than methyl salicylate (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that methyl salicylate did not show solvent action on gutta-percha, however it showed effectiveness in dissolution of Resilon. Thus methyl salicylate can be a possible alternative to the use of xylene during endodontic retreatment of teeth obturated with Resilon.

Caracterização e aceitabilidade de tomate seco

In this work evaluated the content of vitamin C and total carotenoid in tomatoes fresh and dehydrated for conserve, with posterior immersion in sauce, verifying its sensorial acceptability. Dehydration was performed in dryer with airflow at 70 °C to obtain a product with final moisture of 45%. Determinations were carried out ascorbic acid, soluble solids, acidity, sugars and carotenoid before and after the dehydration process. The dehydrated tomatoes had been immersed in three types of sauces (pepper sauce, oregano with parrot leaves sauce and garlic sauce) per 25 days. After this period, the dry tomatoes in conserve had been submitted to the sensorial analysis in the pate form, applying themselves preference test. The results had been showed that retention of vitamin C and total carotenoid in the dehydrated product showed retention of 14.0% and 44.3%, respectively, in tomatoes after the dehydration process. Among the formulation of canned t
