Contribuição do hiperandrogenismo para o desenvolvimento de síndrome metabólica em mulheres obesas com síndrome dos ovários policísticos

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a contribuição do hiperandrogenismo para o desenvolvimento da síndrome metabólica (SM) em mulheres obesas com ou sem Síndrome dos Ovários Policísticos (SOP). MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal retrospectivo no qual foram incluídas 60 mulheres obesas com fenótipo clássico da SOP - Consenso de Rotterdam - e 70 obesas sem SOP. A SM foi diagnosticada pelos critérios do NCEP-ATP III. A obesidade foi definida pelo índice de massa corpórea e o hirsutismo, pelo Índice de Ferriman-Gallwey (IFG). As dosagens realizadas foram: testosterona total, sulfato de dehidroepiandrosterona (SDHEA), insulina e glicose, colesterol total, HDL e triglicerídios. A resistência insulínica (RI) foi avaliada pelo HOMA-IR e pelo índice de sensibilidade à insulina de Matsuda e De Fronzo. A analise estatística foi realizada com o teste t de Student, teste do χ² e análise de regressão logística multivariada (p<0,05). RESULTADOS: As obesas com SOP apresentaram significativamente maiores valores de IFG (15,4±6,1), circunferência da cintura (105,6±11,4 cm), testosterona (135,8±71,4 ng/dL), SDHEA (200,8±109,2 µg/dL), HOMA-IR (8,4±8,5) e menores valores de ISI (2,0±1,8) quando comparadas às obesas não SOP (3,2±2,1; 101,4±9,2 cm; 50,0±18,2 ng/dL; 155,0±92,7 µg/dL; 5,1±4,7; 3,3±2,7, respectivamente) (p<0,05). A frequência de SM foi significativamente maior nas obesas com SOP (75%) do que nas obesas não SOP (52,8%) (p=0,01). A análise multivariada não demonstrou contribuição das variávies IFG, testoterona total e SDHEA para o desenvolvimento da SM (p>0,05). CONCLUSÃO: Mulheres obesas com SOP apresentam maior frequência de SM quando comparadas às obesas não SOP. O hiperandrogenismo não mostrou influência nesse grupo de mulheres estudadas.

Staphylococcus spp. Na cavidade bucal e na bolsa periodontal de indivíduos com periodontite crônica: presença e sensibilidade aos antibióticos

Staphylococcus are not usually studied in the oral cavity, when this happens, they are considered to belong to transitory microflora. Individuals that present periodontal disease represent possibles reservoirs of these opportunist bacteria in the oral cavity. The use of antibiotics whether for treatment of periodontal disease or due to hospital infections, may predispose the increase of the Staphylococcus spp. in the oral cavity because they easily become resistant to antibiotics, resulting in superinfection. The study was made with 88 patients, minimum age- 25 years old, presenting chronical periodontitis, with, at least, two sites having a probing pocket bigger or equal to 5mm. After anamnese and clinical periodontal examination samples were taken from the periodontal pocket using paper cones and from the oral cavity using mouth rinse. Of the total patients 37,50% presented Staphylococcus spp. in the periodontal pocket and 61,36% in lhe oral cavity; 27,27% presented bacteria in the two sites, not necessarily of the same specie. S. epidermidis was the most prevailing specie in periodontal pocket (15,9%) and oral cavity (27,27%). Positive for S. aureus in the periodontal pocket were 4,5% and for the oral cavity 25%, and 3,4% were positive for the two sites. There was not found significative statistical difference referring to the presence of the microorganisms as to age, smoking habit and increase of the probing depth. The majority of the isolated Staphylococcus samples showed resistance to the tested antibiotics, indicating that the drugs as an adjunct to periodontal therapy, must be seen with caution

Avaliação da expressão de citoqueratinas na citologia esfoliativa da mucosa bucal de pacientes fumantes

The present study compared the expression of cytokeratins CK6, CK16 and CK19 and pan-cytokeratin (PAN) in oral mucosa cells between smokers and nonsmokers in order to determine the stage of cell differentiation and to consequently infer proliferative activity and expressions indicative of a potential for malignant differentiation. Thirty smokers and 30 non-smokers seen at the clinics of FOSJC-UNESP were screened. Smears were obtained from the left lateral border of the tongue with a cytobrush and slides were processed for immunohistochemistry using the antibodies reported Conventional microscopy was used for qualitative analysis. The results were analyzed statistically by the Z test, Fisher's exact test and comparison of two proportions (plus-4 confidence interval method). The expression of CK6 (p=0.002), CK16 (p=0.003), CK19 (p=0.0001) and PAN (p=0.008) was higher in oral mucosa smears from smokers compared to non- smokers. ln conclusion, increased epithelial proliferation is observed in the oral mucosa of smokers as demonstrated by the increased expression of CK6 and CKJ6, and these cells present alterations in epithelial maturation

Escrita e Síndrome de Down

The project, developed at the Health and Education Studies´ Center, in the Unity of the Science and Philosophy’s College, UNESP, Marilia´s campus, had as goal the development of a study about the appropriation of writing by children with Down ’s syndrome. Five children, from 10 to 13 years old, on different situations of scholar levels, were took part in the project. As research procedure, it was developed weekly pedagogical interventions, based on HistoricalCultural Theory. At the beginning, the group presented different dimensions of approximation with the writing universe. It was observed advances on the graphic representation and on the individual trials of writing. Two childrens began to build small texts, one of the children is on the beginning of the alphabetic writing and two other children continue to present difficulties, getting close of the writing in a very not confortable way, stuck on the scholar formality and a direct mediation to the words constitution is needed.

Relações entre o perfil comunicativo de crianças com síndrome de Asperger e estratégias de professores

The aim of this research was to investigate the communicative profile of children with Asperger syndrome and the communicative resources used by teachers during interaction with these students in regular education. Five children, from 5 to 8-year-old-male, with Asperger syndrome and their teachers participated in the study. Their school grade ranged from pre-school to second grade elementary school. The characterization of the sample was obtained from an Informative Form and the Scale for the Assessment of Autistic Behavior. The communicative profile of the children and the resources used by their teachers were analyzed from the recorded footage. The results have showed that the teachers prompted the communication more often than the students with Asperger Syndrome and that the resources used by them were: 1 - concrete object, 2 - gesture, 3 - writing; 4-verbalization.
