As grafias não-convencionais da coda silábica nasal: análise de dados de EJA

Este artigo trata das grafias não convencionais da sílaba com coda nasal encontradasem textos escritos por jovens e adultos. Para a descrição desses dados de escrita, sãoconsideradas duas complexidades: (i) a fonético-fonológica da sílaba, particularmente doelemento nasal em coda, e (ii) a da representação ortográfica da nasalidade em português.Sob o aspecto fonético, a coda corresponde a uma redução de energia, o que pode tornar ossegmentos que preenchem essa posição da sílaba menos audíveis. Sob o aspecto fonológico,a coda pode ser vista como um constituinte não imediato da sílaba cujo preenchimento sofrerestrições. Sob o aspecto ortográfico, são três as possibilidades de registro da nasalidade:, como, respectivamente, em “campo”, “canto”, “maçã”. Argumenta-se que asgrafias não convencionais analisadas podem ser motivadas pelas características fonéticofonológicasdos enunciados falados (particularmente, da sílaba com coda nasal) e, também,pelas características das convenções ortográficas dos enunciados escritos (especificamente,as convenções para representação da nasalidade da coda). Defende-se que essas grafias nãosejam vistas como erros decorrentes da interferência da fala na escrita, mas como pistas darelação constitutiva dos enunciados falados e escritos.

Desenvolvimento de nanopartículas de quitosana para adminstração nasal de zidovudina

Zidovudine (AZT) is the drug most commonly used in AIDS treatment, isolated or in combination with other antiretroviral agents, but it has certain limitations due to its therapeutic dose-dependent haematological toxicity. In addition, it has low oral bioavailability, since it undergoes pre-systemic metabolism. The nasal route has been used as an alternative route for drug administration, because it can promote its direct absorption to blood circulation, avoiding hepatic metabolism. However, this route presents as a factor limiting the mucociliary clearance mechanisms that remove quickly the formulation of the nasal cavity. To prolong the residence time of formulations, in this direction, has been proposed the development of mucoadhesive systems. Among the various existing systems, the use of chitosan (QS), as mucoadhesive polymer, has been widely exploited in the preparation of nanoparticles (NPs). The objective of this study was to develop and characterize QS’s NPs for intranasal administration of AZT. For both NPs have been developed by ionic crosslinking of QS with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP). These NPs were characterized by studies of particle size distribution, zeta potential, morphology, mucoadhesion tests, assessing the ability of encapsulation of the drug and permeation profile of AZT. The evaluation of AZT in the NPs was determined by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Mucoadhesion measures were made using a texture analyzer, using a mucin disk and porcine mucous membrane , and permeation assay were conducted using porcine nasal mucous membrane adapted to the Franz cell. These results suggest that the systems in hand have great potential for nasal AZT administration

Inicial nasal mucosa detachment using piezoelectric device in the Le Fort I osteotomy: A technical note

In maxillary Le Fort I type osteotomy the detachment of the nasal mucosa should be done carefully. Piezoelectric surgery contributed much to increase the safety of osteotomies, despite the initial advantage of minimizing the risk of injury in nervous tissue, mainly in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy; we use the piezoelectric device for the initial detachment of the nasal mucosa in the maxillary osteotomy.

Variations in peak nasal inspiratory flow among healthy students after using saline solutions

Nasal hygiene with saline solutions has been shown to relieve congestion, reduce the thickening of the mucus and keep nasal cavity clean and moist. Evaluating whether saline solutions improve nasal inspiratory flow among healthy children. Students between 8 and 11 years of age underwent 6 procedures with saline solutions at different concentrations. The peak nasal inspiratory flow was measured before and 30min after each procedure. Statistical analysis was performed by means of t test, analysis of variance, and Tukey's test, considering p<0.05. We evaluated 124 children at all stages. There were differences on the way a same concentration was used. There was no difference between 0.9% saline solution and 3% saline solution by using a syringe. The 3% saline solution had higher averages of peak nasal inspiratory flow, but it was not significantly higher than the 0.9% saline solution. It is important to offer various options to patients.

Carcinoma de células escamosas em epitélio nasal de um hamster chinês: relato de caso

The squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a neoplasm that affect pets, production animals and exotic animals, and it’s very common in tropical countries like Brazil, once it develops a sparsely pigmented, stratified squamous epithelium and on surfaces mucosa exposed to ultraviolet action. The SCC is quite infiltrative but rarely causes metastases. Its occurrence in the nasal epithelium is widely reported in cats. This case is a chinese hamster (Cricetulus griséus), female, young, who developed a nasal nodule, and their only clinical sign was intense itching. The animal underwent surgery to perform an incisional biopsy, which was referred to the Veterinary Pathology Service of UNESP, campus of Araçatuba (SP) for histopathological evaluation. The material showed features consistent with squamous cell carcinoma well differentiated.
