Correlação entre aneuploidia cromossômica em espermatozóides e taxa de implantação embrionária: subtitulo

Infertility is directly related to chromosomal abnormalities in germ cells. Among them, the aneuploidies are the most frequent chromosomal abnormalities and responsible for embryo implantation failures, miscarriages, fetal losses and newborns with congenital malformations, mental disability and neuropsychomotor developmental delay. Male patients with normal somatic karyotype may present different rates of aneuploidies in sperm, resulting in abnormal embryos. This study aimed to correlate the frequency of chromosomal aneuploidies in spermatozoa with embryo implantation rate in couples undergoing assisted reproductive techniques. The methodology has included chromosomal analysis by GTG banding and molecular cytogenetic study using Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization technique for evaluation of chromosomes 9, X and Y in germ cells of 22 patients referred to the Human Reproduction Service of the Clinical Hospital FMRP-USP. Embryo implantation rates were determined by hormonal evaluation in maternal peripheral blood and ultrasound confirmation. Two patients presented abnormal karyotype, characterized by polymorphism of the heterochromatic region of the long arm of chromosome 9 and a satellite in the short arm of chromosome 22. Both alterations, usually considered variants of normality, have been related to infertility phenotype and miscarriages. Significant differences were detected between couples who presented pregnancy (group 1) and couples with embryo implantation failure (group 2), with higher frequency of aneusomy and diploidy of chromosome 9, as well as total aneuploidy in sperm of group 2 patients. Our results suggest a correlation between aneuploidy and embryo implantation rates, since the infertile group with reproductive failure has showed higher frequency of aneuploidy. Screening for aneuploidies detection in male germ cells should be included in order to decrease embryo implantation failures, miscarriages and fetuses with chromosomal ...

IL-10 e TNF-α no sangue materno e nas placentas de gestações complicadas por diabete ou hiperglicemia gestacional leve - correlação com controle glicêmico e resultados perinatais

Objective - At evaluating the IL-10 production in maternal blood and placenta and correlate them with perinatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by hyperglycemia, or with risk to developing it, differentiated by the glycemic mean (GM < or ≥ 100mg/dL). Method- 186 pregnant women were distributed into groups GM < 100 mg/dL and GM ≥ 100 mg/dL. We evaluated the GM, HbA1c levels, maternal and placental IL-10 and TNF-α and the correlation between placental cytokines and perinatal outcomes. Results - In maternal blood, the lower concentrations of IL-10 (1.01 ± 0.87 vs. 3.08 ± 5.57 pg / mL, p = 0.0019) were observed in GM ≥ 100 mg / dL group. Placental IL-10 was directly correlated with hemoglobin levels (r = 0.63, p = 0.02) and insulin (r = 0.78, p = 0.01) from umbilical cord and with Apgar scores 1 (r = 0.53, p = 0.0095) and Apgar 5 (r = 0.69, p = 0.0003). Conclusion - GM ≥ 100mg/dL was associated with decreased of maternal IL-10. Placental IL-10 was similar in both groups and correlated directly with hemoglobin and insulin and with Apgar scores of 1st. and 5th. minutes

Hidrogéis do ácido acrílico: correlação das propriedades bioadesivas e lereação in vitro do metronidazol

Este trabalho teve por objetivo desenvolver hidrogéis do ácido acrílico e correlacionar as propriedades bioadesivas e a liberação in vitro empregando metronidazol. Para tanto, inicialmente foram preparadas dispersões dos polímeros Carbopol 974 ® e Policarbofil ® nas concentrações de 0,5%, 1,0% e 1,5%, que foram submetidas a testes para avaliação das propriedades bioadesivas, mecânicas e reológicas. As amostras com maior concentração de polímeros (Carbopol 974 ® 1,5%, e Policarbofil ® 1,0% e 1,5%,) foram as que apresentaram melhores resultados nos testes de bioadesão, e portanto selecionadas para prosseguimento dos estudos, que envolveu a incorporação de metronidazol (MTZ) na concentração de 0,5% para estudo de liberação in vitro por 12 horas. O experimento foi realizado por meio do sistema automático com célula de difusão vertical de Franz e solução tampão fosfato pH 7,4 como solução receptora. A temperatura utilizada foi 32,5 o C. Os resultados demonstraram que o tipo e a concentração do polímero influenciou diretamente na liberação do fármaco. Os melhores resultados em termos de controle de liberação foram apresentados pelo polímero Policarbofil ® na concentração de 1,5%

Correlação de resultados da depuração de creatinina determinada e o Clearance estimado por fórmula

O presente trabalho compara os resultados obtidos da depuração da creatinina endógena de pacientes encaminhados por solicitação médica, realizados pelo Setor de Bioquímica Clínica do CRD-NAC Unesp com protocolo do procedimento de depuração implantado na rotina laboratorial, que utiliza dados da creatinina de sangue e urina (amostra de 24 horas), com os resultados obtidos, para os mesmos pacientes, a partir das fórmulas de Cockcroft-Gault, MDRD simplificada e CDK-EPI, onde não se utiliza os valores obtidos na amostra de urina de 24 horas. E, a partir dessa análise, verifica em que casos o resultado do exame sem a amostra de urina de 24 horas correlaciona-se com o resultado da depuração da creatinina endógena realizado como procedimento de rotina e quais seriam as prováveis variáveis interferentes na aplicação destas fórmulas utilizadas em casos específicos, conforme a necessidade na avaliação clínica.

Detecção de Periodontopatógenos, Glicoproteína Emmprin (Cd-147) e sua correlação com MMP-2 e MMP-9

Periodontitis is an infectious disease characterized by the secretion of a variety of inflammatory mediators that lead to destruction of tooth supporting tissues, including the possible loss of alveolar bone, in association with infection with multiple species of bacteria. It is estimated that more than 400 species colonize the biofilm and some oral species related to periodontal disease is present in the subgingival including P. gingivalis, T. forsythia and T. denticola. However, other organisms may be related of this disease, as Filifactor allocis and Prevotella tannerae. These microorganisms and subproducts such as endotoxins released into the extracellular lead to the stimulation of metalloproteinase inducer glycoprotein (EMMPRIN, CD-147), which stimulates the release of MMPs by host cells, like fibroblasts and endothelial cells, thus leading to tissue destruction. The objective of this study was to detect F. allocis, P. tannerae, T. denticola and the glycoprotein EMMPRIN (CD-147) and its correlation with MMP-2 and MMP-9 in subgingival fluid samples of patients with chronic periodontitis. Fluids were collected from healthy and disease subgingival sites of 20 healthy individuals before basic periodontal treatment and after of 60 days of treatment. Their DNAs were extracted and portions of the 16S gene were amplified and performed conventional PCR. For immunological analysis and quantification of EMMPRIN (CD-147), MMP-2 and MMP-9 was used ELISA-Sandwich. Results demonstrated that the disease group showed significantly high amounts of T. denticola, F. alocis and P. tannerae when compared with health sites. MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected in high concentrations with statistically significantly reduction after periodontal treatment to MMP-2, but without correlation with EMMPRIN.

The RANK/RANKL/OPG interaction in the repair of autogenous bone grafts in female rats with estrogen deficiency

The aim of this study was to evaluate the resorption process during the repair of autogenous bone grafts with or without coverage by an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) membrane in female rats with estrogen deficiency using the immunohistochemical technique. Eighty female rats were randomly divided into two groups (OVX and SHAM). The 40 female rats in the OVX group were subjected to ovariectomy, and the 40 female rats in the SHAM group were subjected to simulated ovariectomy. The two groups were further divided in subgroup E, which was subjected to surgery for placement of autogenous bone graft (ABG), and subgroup ME, in which the ABG was covered with an e-PTFE membrane. The animals were killed at 0, 7, 21,45 and 60 days. The specimens were analyzed using immunohistochemistry for the bone resorption markers RANK, RANK-L and Osteoprotegerin (OPG). A higher remodeling rate was observed at 7 and 21 days after the autogenous bone grafts, when the markers were more intensely expressed. At the final time point, the specimens presented similar characteristics to those observed at the initial time point. The expression of immunohistochemical markers was not altered by the estrogen deficiency. The presence of the e-PTFE membrane delayed the bone resorption process, influencing the immunohistochemical expression of markers.

Rank protein immunolabeling during bone-implant interface healing process

The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the expression of RANK protein during bone-healing process around machined surface implants. Twenty male Wistar rats, 90 days old, after having had a 2 mm diameter and 6 mm long implant inserted in their right tibias, were evaluated at 7, 14, 21, and 42 days after healing. After obtaining the histological samples, slides were subjected to RANK immunostaining reaction. Results were quantitatively evaluated. Results. Immunolabeling analysis showed expressions of RANK in osteoclast and osteoblast lineage cells. The statistical analysis showed an increase in the expression of RANK in osteoblasts at 7 postoperative days and a gradual decrease during the chronology of the healing process demonstrated by mild cellular activity in the final stage (P < .05). Conclusion. RANK immunolabeling was observed especially in osteoclast and osteoblast cells in primary bone during the initial periods of bone-healing/implant interface.
