OBJETIVO: Avaliar a concentração de metabólitos no masseter em portadores de esclerose sistêmica, analisando os índices de creatina, colina, lipídio e lactato, e relacionar com a presença de osteólise mandibular. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram selecionados 25 pacientes, sendo 15 com diagnóstico de esclerose sistêmica e agrupados de acordo com a presença (grupo I) ou ausência (grupo II) de osteólise, e 10 indivíduos normais (grupo III, controle). Todos foram submetidos a exame de espectroscopia de próton por ressonância magnética, com técnica PRESS e aquisição tridimensional. RESULTADOS: O estudo dos metabólitos dos três grupos apresentou os mesmos valores absolutos de creatina e lipídio. Os pacientes do grupo I apresentaram maior quantidade de colina em relação aos do grupo III. Já os indivíduos dos grupos I e II apresentaram menor quantidade de lactato em relação aos indivíduos normais. Os índices creatina/lipídio e colina/lactato foram os mesmos em todos os grupos. CONCLUSÃO: Observamos menor quantidade de lactato nos pacientes com esclerose sistêmica (grupos I e II). A colina está aumentada nos pacientes com osteólise mandibular (grupo I). Os índices creatina/colina, creatina/lactato, lipídio/lactato e colina/lipídio foram diferentes entre os grupos estudados. Mais estudos são necessários para a compreensão da participação do masseter no desenvolvimento da osteólise mandibular.

OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o significado do Doppler espectral por meio da obtenção do índice de resistência vascular na diferenciação entre lesões mamárias benignas e malignas. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Dezenove lesões malignas e 18 benignas, diagnosticadas por estudo histológico, foram submetidas previamente a análise de sua vascularização por meio do Doppler espectral para se obter o índice de resistência vascular. RESULTADOS: Observou-se diferença estatisticamente significante (p < 0,001) entre os valores médios do índice de resistência para os resultados benigno e maligno (0,62x 0,80, respectivamente), em nódulos maiores que 1 cm. Um índice de resistência 0,69 foi altamente associado a lesões malignas, com sensibilidade de 84,2%, especificidade de 88,9%, taxa de falso-positivo de 11,1% e taxa de falso-negativo de 15,8%. CONCLUSÃO: A análise do índice de resistência vascular pode fornecer grande auxílio na avaliação das lesões nodulares da mama maiores que 1 cm, em conjunto com as informações obtidas por meio da escala de cinzas, com elevada sensibilidade e especificidade.

OBJETIVO: Determinar os índices de resistência (IR) e pulsatilidade (IP) nas artérias uterinas durante o primeiro e segundo trimestres de gestação. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Realizamos estudo prospectivo longitudinal em 44 mulheres normais, da 8ª a 12ª e na 22ª semanas de gestação. A dopplervelocimetria foi realizada em ambas as artérias uterinas por meio do IR e do IP. Utilizamos volume de amostra de 1 a 2 mm, filtro de 50 a 70 Hz e ângulo de insonação abaixo de 60°. RESULTADOS: O IR e o IP da artéria uterina no primeiro trimestre foram maiores da 8ª a 12ª do que na 22ª semana de gestação. O IR e o IP da artéria uterina, no primeiro trimestre, com incisura foram de 0,83 ± 0,07 e 2,32 ± 0,79, e sem incisura, de 0,71 ± 0,16 e 1,61 ± 0,78, respectivamente. No segundo trimestre, o IR e o IP da artéria uterina com incisura foram de 0,59 ± 0,09 e 1,03 ± 0,32, e sem incisura, de 0,44 ± 0,09 e 0,63 ± 0,19, respectivamente. CONCLUSÃO: Estabelecemos os valores de referência do IR e do IP das artérias uterinas de gestantes normais no primeiro e segundo trimestres de gestação.

Thirty years after neo-liberalism hegemony, the states shows its incapacity for driving democratically exceptional situations like global economical crisis. In this context, it seems a particularly interesting issue to exam the popular alternatives that are growing to reject the institutional paralysis. This work take these problems since European perspective, especially this one of Spain, and its scope is justify the new forms of civil disobedience that are growing. They are analyzed not like"paradoxes" of democracy, but like necessary instruments of participative democracy into a really exceptional scenario

The chemical durability of the Li2O-ZrO2-BaO-SiO2 system was examined by determination of the Vickers hardness. The dependence of hardness and of the chemical resistance with BaO addition was investigated. The experimental results indicate that the hardness increases with the BaO content. The samples surface's morphology submitted to the chemical treatment in acidic (H2SO4) and basic (KOH) solution was accompanied by scanning electron microscopy. The chemical durability of the materials with BaO showed better than the glass ceramic without this content. These materials treated with H2SO4 solution showed a preferential attack to the silica rich sites.

The xerogel p-anisidinepropylsilica was obtained. This solid presents some residual paraffin and also a small fraction of high organofunctionalized material that was leached in polar solvent. The xerogel purification could be achieved by exhaustively washing with hexane and dichloromethane solvents, or submitting the xerogel to thermal treatment up to 300 ºC, in vacuum. The resulting purified xerogel material present an appreciable thermal stability and resistance to leaching by solvents.

This article provides an overview on the recent achievements to combat Gram-positive bacteria and the mechanisms related to antimicrobial activity and bacterial resistance. Selected synthetic methodologies to access structurally diverse bioactive compounds are presented in order to emphasize the most important substances currently developed to overcome multiresistant strains. The main properties of vancomycin and related glycopeptide antibiotics are also discussed as a background to understanding the design of new chemotherapeutic agents.

Thermosensitive hydrogels were synthesized using alginate-Ca2+ in association with a thermosensitive polymer, such as PNIPAAm. The mechanical properties of the hydrogels were determined measuring the maximum tension of deformation. With the increase of the temperature by 25 to 40 ºC above the LCST the chains of PNIPAAm collapsed, dragging the alginate net and diminishing the size of the pores. The decrease in the size of the pores of the hydrogel was followed by an increase in the mechanicals resistance of the material.

High levels of substrate-based 1,5-stereoinduction are obtained in the boron-mediated aldol reactions of beta-oxygenated methyl ketones with achiral and chiral aldehydes. Remote induction from the boron enolates gives the 1,5-anti adducts, with the enolate pi-facial selectivity critically dependent upon the nature of the beta-alkoxy protecting group. This 1,5-anti aldol methodology has been strategically employed in the total synthesis of several natural products. At present, the origin of the high level of 1,5-anti induction obtained with the boron enolates is unclear, although a model based on a hydrogen bonding between the alkoxy oxygen and the formyl hydrogen has been recently proposed.

Multidrug resistance, MDR is a major obstacle for cancer chemotherapy. MDR can be reversed by drugs that vary in their chemical structure and main biological activity. Many efforts have been done to overcome MDR based on studies of structure-activity relationships and in this review we summarize some aspects of MDR mediated by P-glycoprotein (P-gp), as the most experimentally and clinically tested form of drug resistance. The most significant MDR mechanisms revealed until now are shortly discussed. Physicochemical and structural properties of MDR modulators, measures of the MDR reversal, and QSAR studies are included.

Antibiotic resistance has been growing at an alarming rate and consequently the arsenal of effective antibiotics against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria has dropped dramatically. In this sense there is a strong need to produce new substances that not only have good spectrum of activity, but having new mechanisms of action. In this regard, this paper emphasizes the coordination of metals to antibiotics as a strategy for reversing antibiotic resistance and production of new drugs, with a special focus on quinolones, fluoroquinolones, sulfonamides and tetracyclines.

This work has compared the surfaces of two different steel samples used as orthopedical implants, classified as ASTM F138 and ISO5832-9, through optical emission spectroscopy, by means of SEM and EDS. The samples (implants) were also submitted to potentiodynamic cyclic polarization in Ringer lactate and NaCl 0.9 M L-1 solutions; ISO5832-9 sample did not show any kind of localized corrosion, but in the case of F138 steel was observed a pit localized corrosion in both solutions. In Ringer lactate solution it was observed a loss of about 63% for nickel and 26% for iron for F138 stell, compared to the initial composition.
