Hard and soft tissue changes around implants installed in regular-sized and reduced alveolar bony ridges. An experimental study in dogs

Objective: To study bony and soft tissue changes at implants installed in alveolar bony ridges of different widths.Material and methods: In 6 Labrador dogs, the mandibular premolars and first molars were extracted, and a buccal defect was created in the left side at the third and fourth premolars by removing the buccal bone and the inter-radicular and interdental septa. Three months after tooth extraction, full-thickness mucoperiosteal flaps were elevated, and implants were installed, two at the reduced (test) and two at the regular-sized ridges (control). Narrow or wide abutments were affixed to the implants. After 3 months, biopsies were harvested, and ground sections prepared for histological evaluation.Results: A higher vertical buccal bony crest resorption was found at the test (1.5 +/- 0.7 mm and 1.0 +/- 0.7 mm) compared to the control implants (1.0 +/- 0.5 mm and 0.7 +/- 0.4 mm), for both wide and narrow abutment sites. A higher horizontal alveolar resorption was identified at the control compared to the test implants. The difference was significant for narrow abutment sites. The peri-implant mucosa was more coronally positioned at the narrow abutment, in the test sites, while for the control sites, the mucosal adaptation was more coronal at the wide abutment sites. These differences, however, did not reach statistical significance.Conclusions: Implants installed in regular-sized alveolar ridges had a higher horizontal, but a lower vertical buccal bony crest resorption compared to implants installed in reduced alveolar ridges. Narrow abutments in reduced ridges as well as wide abutments in regular-sized ridges yielded less soft tissue recession compared to their counterparts.

Análise das técnicas de mono e tríplice impregnação de glóbulos homeopáticos e suas influências na ação do ácido salicílico em estacas de hortelã

No Brasil, a forma farmacêutica sólida mais empregada em preparações homeopáticas é a de glóbulos. Para a sua preparação são propostas diferentes técnicas, sendo que as farmácias de manipulação adotam a de sua preferência. A FARMACOPÉIA HOMEOPÁTICA BRASILEIRA 2. ed. (1997) propõe a técnica de tríplice impregnação à 10% (V/p) enquanto que o MANUAL DE NORMAS TÉCNICAS DA ABFH 3. ed. (2003) propõe a simples impregnação de 2 a 5% (V/p). A qualidade do medicamento homeopático dispensado em glóbulos depende da técnica de impregnação adotada. O presente trabalho propôs um estudo comparativo sobre a impregnação de glóbulos avaliando duas técnicas rotineiras impregnando-se corantes. Posteriormente, comparando-se com a ação já conhecida do ácido salicílico em estacas das espécies de hortelã Mentha spicata L. e Mentha villosa L. Foram utilizados os corantes Azul de Metileno, Safranina e Verde Iodo, todos na concentração de 0,5% (p/V). Diferenças visuais entre as técnicas de impregnação utilizadas foram observadas em todos os corantes e na análise da diferença de massa antes e após a impregnação, para safranina e verde iodo. As espécies de hortelã mostraram perfil de enraizamento semelhante, não havendo diferenças significativas para a técnica de impregnação utilizada. Diferenças entre os comprimentos das raízes adventícias foram observadas graficamente, na comparação dos tratamentos homeopáticos e não homeopáticos, mostrando a potencialidade da dinamização nos medicamentos. As soluções estoque de ácido salicílico, ou seja, aquelas que não sofreram dinamização, inibiram o enraizamento das estacas de Mentha spicata L. e Mentha villosa L. Um efeito...

Microscopic Evidence of the Opportunistic Reproductive Strategy and Early Sexual Maturation of the Small-Sized Characin Knodus moenkhausii (Characidae, Pisces)

We investigated the reproductive biology of Knodus moenkhausii, an abundantsmall-sized characin fish with broad occurrence in the Parana River basin, Bra-zil. Specimens were collected monthly to determine fecundity, length at firstmaturity, reproductive period and spawning type. Gonads were macroscopically classified according to their form, size and texture in three different stages(immature, maturing or mature). Histological procedures were conducted toconfirm gonadal developmental stages, and it was possible to notice thatmaturing females actually presented atretic oocytes, and all males that weremacroscopically classified as immature, maturing and mature actually presentedabundant spermatozoa in their gonads. Because of these discrepancies, a reclas-sification of gonadal maturations stages was needed after histological analysis,reinforcing its importance to studies on the reproduction of small characins.Reproduction occurred throughout the year though with two peaks. The lengthof the smallest mature individuals was 13 mm SL for males and 24 mm SL for females. Despite presenting relatively small batch fecundity, some life historytraits such as early reproduction, multiple spawning throughout the year, inassociation with known opportunistic feeding habits, explain the high abun-dance of this species in locations where it occurs.

Chronic reparative changes in medium-sized vessels in a case of primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma with angioinvasive features and cytotoxic phenotype: new histopathological findings in line with indolent clinical behavior

Angioinvasion/angiodestruction has been reported in a small subset of primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphomas (PCALCL). Recently, PCALCL with angioinvasive features and cytotoxic phenotype has been characterized as a variant associated with good clinical outcomes despite worrisome histopathologic features. We report a case of PCALCL with angioinvasive features and cytotoxic phenotype associated with reparative changes on the wall of medium-sized vessels involved by the neoplasm, including intimal fibroblastic proliferation and luminal obliteration. This vascular pattern, although previously unreported in PCALCL, is in accordance with the indolent behavior observed in this entity and provides a further link with lymphomatoid papulosis type E.
