Photodynamic therapy (PDT) consists of a non-toxic photosensitizing agent (FS) administration followed by a laser source resulting in a sequence of photochemical and photobiological processes that generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damaging cells. The present work evaluated the effects of PDT nanoemulsion-aluminum chloride phthalocyanine (AlClFc) mediated on malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels, which represent indicators involved in oxidative stress and antioxidant defenses. For this purpose, this study used 120 female rats of the Rattus norvegicus species, Wistar race, divided into 5 groups: Healthy (H), with periodontal disease (PD), with periodontal disease and treatment with FS (F), with periodontal disease and treatment with the laser (L); and periodontal disease and treatment with PDT (FL). An experimental model for represent periodontal disease (PD) was induced by ligature (split-mouth). Seven days later the induction of PD, the treatments were instituted according to the groups. In the group treated with PDT was applied 40μl FS (5μM) followed by laser irradiation diode InGaAlP (660nm, 100J / cm2). The rats were sacrificed on the 7th and 28th day after treatment and tissue specimens were removed and subjected to histological, immunohistochemical methods and enzymatic colorimetric measurements with detection by UV / VIS spectroscopy. Inflammatory changes, connective tissue disorganization and alveolar bone loss were displaying in groups with PD induced. The enzyme dosages showed that MDA levels were higher in PD induced groups, with no statistically significant differences (p> 0.05). High levels of GSH were found in groups L (p = 0.028) and FL (p = 0.028) compared with PD group, with statistically significant differences. Immunohistochemistry for SOD showed higher immunostaining in L and FL groups, compared to the PD group without statistically significant differences (p> 0.05). GPx showed lower immunoreactivity in the DP group when compared to the other groups and statistically significant differences were observed between the DPxL groups (p <0.05). TFD administered in this experiment did not induce elevation of MDA levels significantly increased the GSH levels and showed intense immunostaining pada SOD and GPx, showing that this therapy does not accentuated lipid peroxidation, however, it was able to induce effects on the antioxidant defenses processes. The LBI therapy appeared to show photomodulatory promoting effects reduction of the MDA levels, increasing GSH levels and with intense immunostaining for SOD and GPx, demonstrating that laser therapy induced antioxidant effects.

Introdução: Uma adequada planificação é condição sine qua non para o êxito do tratamento com implantes. No entanto, nem sempre a colocação dos implantes na posição tridimensional ideal é, logo à partida, viável. Neste contexto, a correção dos colapsos da crista óssea com tecidos duros assume especial importância. Objetivos: O objetivo desta revisão narrativa é avaliar a eficácia dos diversos procedimentos existentes para aumento do rebordo com tecidos duros, de forma a facilitar a escolha do tratamento ideal. Materiais e Métodos: Pesquisou-se nas bases de dados MEDLINE, B-on e Google Académico. As palavras-chave utilizadas foram: “guided bone regeneration”, “ridge augmentation”, “seibert classification”, “alveolar bone splitting”, “horizontal bone augmentation” e “vertical bone augmentation”. Deu-se especial ênfase a revisões sistemáticas e meta-análises. A pesquisa foi limitada a artigos publicados em inglês, espanhol e em português até abril de 2016. Foram ainda consultados os livros “Tratado de Periodontia Clínica e Implantologia Oral” de Lindhe et al. (2005), “Implantes Dentais Contemporâneos” de Misch et al. (2009) e “Reabilitação com implantes endo-ósseos” de Alcoforado et al. (2008). Resultados: De um modo geral, todos os procedimentos analisados obtiveram altas taxas de sobrevivência aquando da reabilitação com implantes. No entanto, não houve diferenças significativas entre as diversas técnicas que possam levar a uma conclusão relevante sobre qual a melhor técnica a utilizar para este tipo de procedimento. Conclusão: Há evidências insuficientes para sugerir qual a técnica que deve ser preferida para o aumento de rebordo com tecidos duros, pelo que mais estudos são necessários.

O periodonto é uma unidade biológica e funcional, constituída pela gengiva, pelo cemento, pelo ligamento periodontal e pelo osso alveolar. O seu processo de cicatrização envolve mecanismos fisiológicos complexos que requerem a ação dos fatores de crescimento, péptidos oriundos da desgranulação das plaquetas. Neste sentido surge o Plasma Rico em Plaquetas como um produto autólogo, obtido a partir da centrifugação do sangue do próprio paciente e que visa melhorar a cicatrização dos tecidos após procedimentos enquadrados na Medicina Dentária. Esta revisão bibliográfica baseou-se numa pesquisa realizada na base de dados MEDLINE, via pubmed. Foram utilizadas as palavras-chave “plasma rich in growth factors”, “platelet-rich plasma”, “oral surgery”, “dental implants”, “sinus lift”, “third molar surgery” e “bone regeneration”. Após leitura de 40 artigos, foram descartados 9 pela sua pouca relevância no contexto. O objetivo é avaliar a efetividade da aplicação de plasma rico em plaquetas na regeneração dos tecidos periodontais em situações clínicas como alvéolos pós-extracionais, cirurgias de implantes, cirurgias de elevação do seio maxilar e na regeneração óssea. A efetividade em tecidos moles parece ser consensual. A efetividade no tecido ósseo é alvo de contradição entre os diversos autores, concluindo-se que há necessidade de mais estudos randomizados e controlados para que se possa responder à questão com evidência científica suficiente.

O desenvolvimento da nanotecnologia vem se intensificando nos últimos anos. Sendo que os NM já estão sendo utilizados em vários produtos disponíveis no mercado. Dentre os NM mais utilizados estão os compostos de carbono que embora sejam compostos somente por este elemento podem ter estruturas diferentes que refletem em suas aplicações e possivelmente em seus efeitos. Dentre os NM de carbono, o grafeno e o óxido de grafeno apresentam promissoras características que ampliam sua utilização em diversos segmentos desde eletrônicos até a distribuição de medicamentos. A intensificação da produção e utilização destes NM é acompanhada pela liberação destes nanomateriais no ambiente que pode afetar os organismos vivos, principalmente os animais aquáticos. Entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre os efeitos do óxido de grafeno em crustáceos de importância comercial como é o caso do camarão branco Litopenaeus vannamei. Portanto, a presente dissertação teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos biológicos da exposição ao óxido de grafeno em diferentes tecidos do camarão.

This work reports the influence of the poly (ethylene terephthalate) textile surface modification by plasmas of O2 and mixtures (N2 + O2), on their physical and chemical properties. The treatment was carried out in a vacuum chamber. Some parameters remained constant during all treatment, such as: Voltage 470 V; Pressure 1,250 Mbar; Current: 0, 10 A and gas flow: 10 cm3/min. Other parameters, such as working gas composition and treatment time, were modified as the following: to the O2 plasma modified samples only the treatment time was changed (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 minutes). To the plasma with O2 and N2 only the chemical concentrations were changed. Through Capillary tests (vertical) an increase in textile wettability was observed as well as its influence on aging time and its consequence on wettability. The surface functional groups created after plasma treatments were investigated using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The surface topography was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM)

As most current studies, reinforced plastics have been, in recent years, a viable alternative in building structural elements of medium and large, since the lightness accompanied by high performance possible. The design of hybrid polymer composites (combination of different types of reinforcements) may enable structural applications thereof, facing the most severe service conditions. Within this class of composite materials, reinforced the underlying tissues hybrid high performance are taking space when your application requires high load bearing and high rigidity. The objective of this research work is to study the challenges in designing these fabrics bring these materials as to its mechanical characterization and fracture mechanisms involved. Some parameters associated with the process and / or form of hybridization stand out as influential factors in the final performance of the material such as the presence of anisotropy, so the fabric weave, the process of making the same, normative geometry of the specimens, among others. This sense, four laminates were developed based hybrid reinforcement fabrics involving AS4 carbon fiber, kevlar and glass 49-E as the matrix epoxy vinyl ester resin (DERAKANE 411-350). All laminates were formed each with four layers of reinforcements. Depending on the hybrid fabric, all the influencing factors mentioned above have been studied for laminates. All laminates were manufactured industrially used being the lamination process manual (hand-lay-up). All mechanical characterization and study of the mechanism of fracture (fracture mechanics) was developed for laminates subjected to uniaxial tensile test, bending in three and uniaxial compression. The analysis of fracture mechanisms were held involving the macroscopic, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy

In this study, it has been investigated the influence of silver film deposition onto 100% polyester woven and non-woven, on the survival of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in contact with these surfaces. The treatment was performedin a chamber containing the working gas at low pressure (~ 10-2 mbar). Some process parameters such as as voltage: 470 V; pressure: 10-2 mbar; current : 0.40 A and gas flow: 6 and 10 cm3/min were kept constant. For the treatments with purêargon plasma using a flow of 6 and 10 cm3/min, different treatment times were evaluated, such as, 10 , 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 minutes. Contact angle (sessile drop), measurements were used to determine the surface tension of the treated fabrics and its influence on the bacteria grow as weel as the possibilities of a biofilm formation. The formation of a silver film, as well as the amount of this element was verified byEDX technique. The topography was observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to determine the size of silver grains formed on the surfaces of the fabric and assess homogeneity of treatment. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to analyze the structure of silver film deposition. The woven fabric treatments enabled the formation of silver particulate films with particle size larger than the non-woven fabrics. With respect to bacterial growth, all fabrics were shown to be bactericidal for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), while for the Escherichia coli (E. coli), the best results were found for the non-woven fabric (TNT) treated with a flow of 10 cm3/min to both bacteria
