O córtex pré-frontal medial (CPFM) é uma região límbica envolvida no controle da atividade autonômica e cardiovascular. Foi demonstrado que a inibição da região infra-límbica (IL) do CPFM reduziu as repostas comportamentais, neuroendócrinas e autônomas induzidas por estímulos aversivos. Entretanto, apesar das evidências de um importante papel do córtex IL na integração das respostas ao estresse, informações sobre os mecanismos neuroquímicos locais envolvidos no controle destas respostas ainda são escassos. Diante disso, o presente estudo teve o objetivo de investigar um possível envolvimento de mecanismos noradrenérgicos do córtex IL nas respostas autonômicas ao estresse por restrição agudo em ratos. Para tanto, nós investigamos, em grupos independentes de animais, o efeito da microinjeção bilateral no córtex IL de veículo (salina, 100nL), WB4101 (antagonista seletivo de adrenoceptores α1), RX821002 (antagonista seletivo de adrenoceptores α2) e propranolol (antagonista não-seletivo de adrenoceptores β, 10nmol/100nL), sobre as respostas de aumento da pressão arterial (PA) e frequência cardíaca (FC) e redução da temperatura cutânea da cauda induzidas pelo estresse por restrição agudo em ratos. A microinjeção bilateral de WB4101, RX821002 e propranolol no córtex IL não afetou os parâmetros basais de PA, FC e temperatura cutânea da cauda, o que indica uma ausência de influência na manutenção tônica do sistema cardiovascular. Entretanto, o bloqueio de adrenoceptores α1 no córtex IL diminuiu a resposta taquicárdica induzida pelo estresse por restrição, sem afetar as respostas pressora e de redução da temperatura cutânea da cauda. O bloqueio de adrenoceptores α2 no córtex IL reduziu todos os parâmetros analisados e o bloqueio de adrenoceptores β no córtex IL atenuou a resposta de redução da temperatura cutânea induzida pelo estresse por restrição. As respostas de elevação da ...

Medo e a ansiedade são emoções que têm origem nas reações de defesa que os animais exibem diante de ameaças que podem comprometer sua integridade física ou a própria sobrevivência, tais como confrontos com o predador ou com animais da mesma espécie. Em se tratando da espécie humana, estas respostas defensivas eliciadas representariam a ocorrência de transtornos de ansiedade e, a busca por sua compreensão, resultou no desenvolvimento de modelos animais de ansiedade, dentre os quais se destaca o labirinto em cruz elevado (LCE) que é baseado na aversão natural de roedores a espaços abertos. Com relação aos substratos neurais envolvidos nestas manifestações, cabe destacar a matéria cinzenta periaquedutal bem como estruturas prosencefálicas, como o córtex pré-frontal (CPFm), uma estrutura límbica que tem sido frequentemente descrita como relevante na neurobiologia da ansiedade. O óxido nítrico (NO) tem sido investigado em diferentes estruturas cerebrais de roedores nas quais foram evidenciadas respostas pró-aversivas. Sendo o CPFm uma estrutura que contém neurônios nitrérgicos, este estudo teve o objetivo de investigar o efeito da facilitação nitrérgica através da injeção intra-CPFm de um doador de NO, o NOC-9 [6-(Hidroxi-1-metil-2-nitrosohidrazino)-N-metil-1-hexanamina], sobre o comportamento de camundongos expostos ao labirinto em cruz elevado (LCE). Métodos e Resultados: Camundongos Suíços machos (25-35g, n = 53) receberam implante de cânula guia no CPFm. Cinco dias após, os animais receberam microinjeção de veículo ou NOC-9 nas doses de (1,875 nmol; 18,75 nmol; 37,5 nmol ou 75nmol) e, após cinco minutos, foram expostos...

The purpose of this literature review is to present the state-of-the-art on the application of tissue engineering techniques in sinus lifts procedures, reporting the influence of these techniques in increasing bone height and volume in the maxillary sinus, and the osseointegration of the implants installed in the grafted areas. PubMed and Scopus databases were searched using the keywords “scaffold” OR “engineered tissue” AND “sinus augmention” OR “sinus floor elevation”. In the initial search 463 articles were selected, of which 19 were selected abstracts reading, with nine papers selected by the end, for evaluation of the application of tissue engineering techniques in sinus lift procedures. Despite the positive results of tissue engineering procedures in sinus floor elevation reported in the selected articles, further studies are still needed, for a better standardization of experimental models and materials used, leading to definitive conclusions about the effects of the application of tissue engineering procedures on bone formation in maxillary sinus lifting procedures.

This study evaluated postoperative results of 8 cases of frontal sinus fractures treated by frontal sinus obliteration with autogenous bone from the anterior iliac crest. Patients and methods: The medical charts of patients sequentially treated for frontal sinus fractures by obliteration with autogenous cancellous iliac crest bone in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Division of this institution were reviewed. From those, eight had complete records and adequately described long-term follow-up. All were operated by the same surgical team. Those patients were recalled and independently evaluated by 2 examiners. Radiographs and/or CT scans were available for this evaluation. Associated fractures and complications were noted. The average postoperative follow-up was 7 years, ranging from 3 to 16 years. The main complication was infection. Four patients (50%) had uneventful long-term follow-ups and four (50%) experienced complications requiring reoperation. Based on the studied sample studied the authors conclude that the obliteration with autogenous bone presented a high percentage of complications in this series.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical, tomographic, and histological similarity within the use of HA+β-TCP (Boneceramic) alone or associated with enamel matrix derived (EMD) proteins in sinus lifting procedures with subsequent dental implant placement. We selected two patients with residual bony ridges between 3 mm and 5 mm in height in need of bone grafts. Six months later, eight implants were installed (two implants at each site). Biopsies were made, and the tissue was processed and stained with HE solution. Tomographic evaluation showed bone height gain up to 10.0 mm on average. Histology showed new bone formation for both groups, with similar bone density and trabecular interconnectivity. It can be concluded that the HA+β-TCP graft isolated or associated to EMD provided bone height gain in sinus lifting procedures, with similar clinical, tomographic and histological characteristics.

Craniofacial trauma can lead to several complications. The combined fractures of anterior and posterior walls of the frontal bone are almost always followed by lesions in nasofrontal orifices and disruption of nasofrontal ostia or ducts, a significant factor for the development of early and late complications after sinus fractures. This article reports a case of trauma patient, who underwent neurological evaluation and at first showed good general condition. Computed tomography noted fracture of the anterior and posterior walls of the frontal sinus and small foci of pneumocephalus in the cerebral cortex. The patient was monitored periodically and 9 days after trauma showed increased areas of pneumocephalus in prefrontal cortex, cerebrospinal fluid draining, and large dura mater lesion, with signs of necrosis and inflammation (meningitis). The necrotic tissues were removed, and dura mater was repaired through the approximation with resorbable wire polyglactin 910 5-0, oxidized cellulose application, and bonding with human fibrin sealant (fibrinogen, thrombin, and calcium chloride). Sinusectomy, frontal sinus, and nasofrontal duct obliteration with pedicled pericranium flap were performed. Tomographically, a reanatomization was noted in frontal region, and a 12-month follow-up showed no complication. The use of fibrin glue to repair dura mater lacerations, as well as the pedicle pericranium flap for frontal sinus and nasofrontal duct obliteration, is an efficient method for treating fractures of the frontal bone.

Many methods based on biometrics such as fingerprint, face, iris, and retina have been proposed for person identification. However, for deceased individuals, such biometric measurements are not available. In such cases, parts of the human skeleton can be used for identification, such as dental records, thorax, vertebrae, shoulder, and frontal sinus. It has been established in prior investigations that the radiographic pattern of frontal sinus is highly variable and unique for every individual. This has stimulated the proposition of measurements of the frontal sinus pattern, obtained from x-ray films, for skeletal identification. This paper presents a frontal sinus recognition method for human identification based on Image Foresting Transform and shape context. Experimental results (ERR = 5,82%) have shown the effectiveness of the proposed method.
