Identification of Candida Spp. In Patients with Denture Stomatitis: Relationship with Gender, Age, Time of Denture use and Newton’s Classification

Epidemiological researches are important to understand the distribution and etiology of oral diseases. The actual researches that show the relationship between patient ages, denture status and denture stomatitis are scarce. So, the aim of this study was to identify of Candida spp. in patients with Denture Stomatitis (DS) and to correlate with gender, age, time of denture use and Newton’s classification. 204 complete denture patients (46 males and 158 females) were selected. DS was classified according to Newton’s classification and it was related to gender, age and time of denture use. Samples from the palatal mucosa and the surface of the upper denture of patients with DS were evaluated using PCR test for identification of Candida species. T-test, chisquare and Fisher’s exact tests were used for statistical analysis. DS was evidenced in 54.4% of the sample. According to gender 41.3% of the males and 58.3% females had the disease and the differences were statistically significant (p = 0.032). The type of DS was directly influenced by the time of denture use (p<0.001), but it was not significantly related to the age of the participants (p>0.05). C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, C. krusei and C. dubliniensis were identified by PCR test. DS is more prevalent in women and the prevalence of DS was influenced by the time of denture use (years). C. albicans was identified as the most frequent specie in patients with DS.

Diferença entre as espécies de Timbó (Derris Spp., Fabaceae) de diferentes regiões da Amazônia no controle da Musca domestica L.

The roots' powder of timbo species collected in different regions of Amazonia that were tested in larvae groupings, didn't produce differential significative effects in two strains of Musca domestica. The two species with the greater number of plants used in the trial were Derris urucu and Derris nicou; the individuals from the species came from regions considered as "forestal refugies" during the Amazonian pleistocene. Among each species the plants varied since that inefficient to control, until plants lethals to the fies. This differential capacity for larvae control among plants of the same species, originated from different regions, suggests that both species had their populations isolated, during the quaternary epoch. In regions or "forestal refugies", where both species were represented, D. urucu was superior to D. nicou in the capacity to control larvae. While among plants from F region (Peruvian-East refuge) of the State of Acre, the two species had convergence in the values of damage to larvae groupings. Among the another species, Derris sp. (yellow timbo or watermelon timbo) didn't show differences in larvae control between samples from the two regions; while the species that was introduced in the Amazonia Denis elleptica showed damage in the larvae groupings similar to the most effective plants of D. nicou and D. urucu.

Teores de rotenona em Clones de Timbó (Derris Spp. Fabaceae) de diferentes regiões da Amazônia e os seus efeitos na emergência de Imagos em Musca Domestica L

The rotenone contents analysis in clones of three timbó species permited the classification of these plants based on their efficiency to control Musca domestica larvae. The results showed significant correlations between the rotenone contents in the Derris urucu and D. nicou clones with the capacity to control the larvae. The plants with high rotenone contents were more effective. The rotenone contents, the effect of Derris species clones on the flics and the localization of the plants origin, showed that among the plants could have happened a populational isolation in the Amazonia during the pleistocene epoch. In Derris sp., that presented lower rotenone contents and was ineffective to control of the larvae, these differences were not observed.
