Efeitos do treinamento físico sobre o perfil metabólico, ósseo, endócrino e leucocitário de ratos recém-desmamados

As influências do exercício físico crônico sobre o tecido ósseo e hematológico de ratos Wistar têm sido investigados na literatura, porém são raros os trabalhos que abordam tais aspectos numa faixa etária mais precoce, na qual os efeitos podem ser benéficos ou até prejudiciais ao desenvolvimento. Assim, os principais objetivos deste estudo foram investigar os efeitos do treinamento físico regular e predominantemente aeróbio sobre aspectos endócrinos e metabólicos, sobre o tecido ósseo e sistema imunológico. Foram utilizados ratos machos, da linhagem Wistar, recém-desmamados (30 dias), mantidos no Biotério do Laboratório de Biodinâmica do Departamento de Educação Física, sob condições controladas (temperatura ambiente controlada de 25ºC e fotoperíodo de 12h claro/12h escuro). Os animais foram distribuídos em dois grupos experimentais: grupo sedentário (GS) e grupo treinado (GT). Os animais treinados foram submetidos a um protocolo de natação, 5 vezes/semana, 1 hora/dia, com carga de 5% em relação ao peso corporal, durante 6 semanas consecutivas, em água com temperatura controlada (32±2ºC). Ao final do período experimental, foram coletadas amostras de sangue para contagem total e diferencial de leucócitos e hematócrito. Após o sacrifício, foram coletadas amostras de soro para dosagem de glicose, proteínas totais, triglicérides, colesterol e amostras do fígado e músculo para a determinação dos teores de glicogênio, e tíbia para determinação do comprimento e área ósseas. Os dados foram apresentados como média ± desvio padrão. Para identificar diferenças estatísticas entre os grupos utilizou-se teste-t de Student para amostras independentes. O nível de significância foi pré-estabelecido em 5%. Pôde-se constatar que o treinamento físico regular realizado ...(Resumo completo clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

O uso do beta-tricálcio fosfato como substituto ósseo em odontologia

The correction of bone defects is the restoration of lost structures which can be replaced by alloplastic implants or bone grafts. Due to the known disadvantages of removal of autogenous grafts, most researches in dentistry aim to develop alloplastic or non-alloplastic materials able to replace bone without these limitations. Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate (β-TCP) is a synthetic granular bone substitute, biocompatible, osteoconductive, which can be used in the alveolar reconstruction. In this work, we perform a literature review on the β-TCP characteristics and discuss its application in dentistry.

Uso de um distrator ósseo dentoimplantossuportado, feito a partir de tornos expansores convencionais, na reabilitação oral

Osteodistraction is a clinical reality, available in the last decades for the resolution of large bone deficiencies, in cases that there are pre-existing, but misplaced implants and teeth. The aims of thearticle is to present a case report in which a new possibility for bone distraction, based on tooth-implant bone distractors, made from standard orthodontic expansion-screws, was used in an area where there was an extensive need of alveolar bone and aesthetical recovery, allied to teeth and dental implant misplacement. This technique presented good clinical results, associated to effective simplicity and low cost, becoming viable clinical solution for bone tissue augmentation and aesthetical optimization. In resume, it is possible to say that the suggested technique achieved its objectives, improving the hard and soft tissue profile, whilst allowing completion of oral rehabilitation.

Uma opção terapêutica para o aumento da faixa de gengiva inserida: o enxerto de tecido conjuntivo livre

Several periodontal procedures have been described in the literature to correct mucogingival alterations or to achieve root coverage. The epithelized free gingival graft is a well established periodontal surgery to increase the width of keratinized gingiva with good stability in the long term follow up. However, this procedure is not commonly used in aesthetic areas since the grafted tissue presents differences of color and contrast. The free connective tissue graft emerges as a viable option to increase attached gingiva in areas where aesthetics results are required. The removal of an epithelized free gingival graft from the hard palate region creates a sore and raw surgical wound that slowly repairs, while the connective tissue graft produces only a line of incision that can be easily sutured promoting a more confortable outcome for the patient. This paper aims to report a case where a free connective tissue graft was used to increase the width of attached gingiva in a tooth with gingival recession. This technique presented satisfactory esthetics results, with a better contrast and color matching with the surrounding tissues.

Avaliação da espessura do osso parietal como região doadora de enxertos ósseos.

Introduction: The study of graft donor sites, whether from the anatomical, physiological or morphological point of view, has become a topic of current interest, due to the increasing number of patients needing facial bone reconstruction for various reasons. Purpose: In view of the need to constantly improve surgical techniques for autogenous bone graft harvesting, still considered the best choice for facial bone reconstruction, this paper describes an anatomical study on dry skulls in order to evaluate the average thickness of the parietal bone. Material and Methods: Measurements of this bone were taken with a goniometer, at four previously defined points, in the region that is often used as a donor site, in 49 dry skulls (98 parietal bones). The results were evaluated using the T test. Results: Thickness was measured at four predetermined points. The mean values (Point A = 4898mm, B = 4517mm, C = 6185mm, D = 4280mm) show that the bone can be even thinner than previously reported in the literature in other studies of the same nature. The largest bone thickness is in the medial and posterior region. Conclusion: A knowledge of these anatomical characteristics is helpful in preventing possible surgical complications, as well as making it safer for the surgeon to remove this graft and providing more information on whether or not to indicate this region as a bone graft donor site.

Análise histomorfométrica do reparo ósseo em tíbias de ratos castrados submetidos ao efeito do alendronato sódico

This study used histomorphometric analysis to investigate the effect of sodium alendronate, used for the treatment of osteoporosis, on the repair of surgically-induced bone defects in the tibia of castrated rats. Methods: The castrated animals were given subcutaneous injections of sodium alendronate (0.7mg/Kg) diluted in saline once a week; the control animals were given the same dose of saline. At 16, 30 and 44 days after the first injection of sodium alendronate, the animals were sacrificed and the right tibias were removed and processed for histomorphometric analysis. The volumetric bone mineral density was estimated by a reticular grid (25 points) attached to a light microscope. The number of points on the bone tissue was counted in the histological sections, totaling 100 points/animal. Results: The results revealed that sodium alendronate stimulated bone formation in castrated rats in all occasions, mainly at 16 and 30 days. Conclusion: Sodium alendronate affects mineral homeostasis, promoting bone repair.

Análise histomorfométrica da influência do Alendronato sódico no processo de reparo ósseo em tíbia de ratas submetidas a ovariectomia

The sodium alendronate (AS), considered as inhibitor in the osteoclasts- mediated bone resorption, promotes final effect of inhibition of resorption and increases bone mass. The objective of this research was to assess, by histomorphometry, the effect of sodium alendronate in repair bone of ovariectomized rats, in which there was performed a bone defect in the right tibia. The treated rats received a subcutaneous injection of sodic alendronate once a week, at 0.7 mg / kg, diluted with saline solution; the controls received the same volume of saline solution. In the periods of 16, 30 and 44 days after the first dose of AS, the animals were sacrificed, the right tibia was removed and processed for histomorphometric analysis. Four non-serial fields were used for the density volume quantification utilizing an integrative eyepiece with 25 points, totalizing 100 points per animal. Based on the results, the present study concludes that the ovariectomy induced osteoporosis and that the AS stimulated the bone formation. In addition, the ovariectomy decreased the estrogen levels. However, this procedure did not significantly influence the action of sodic alendronate.

Aplicação do enxerto conjuntivo subepitelial para recobrimento de recessões em dentes inferiores

Some regions of the oral cavity present anatomical conditions that seem to hinder the result of gingival recessions coverage. Thus, the aim of this case report was to present two surgeries for gingival recessions coverage in the mandibular teeth performed on the same patient with the follow-up of 24 months. Patient RP, 35 years old, male, Caucasian, nonsmoker, systemically healthy, sought care at the clinic of specialization course in Periodontics from the Araraquara Dental School (Foar-Unesp). His main complaint was the gingival recessions within the lower teeth 33, 34, 35, 43, 44 and 45. Besides the aesthetic nuisance, the patient reported occasional dentin sensitivity. For resolution of the case was referred to the technique of subepithelial connective tissue graft associated with a coronally advanced flap. After 2 years of surgery, it was observed an excellent root guards with significant aesthetic improvement of the case. It can be concluded that the subepithelial connective tissue graft technique was effective in covering of type class I gingival recessions of Miller, even in a region that provides a difficult procedure.
