Vacina de DNA: uma alternativa para o tratamento do melanoma canino: revisão de literatura

O melanoma é considerado um dos tumores cutâneos de maior importância em cães devido ao seu caráter agressivo, à capacidade de produzir metástases em estágios precoces e à baixa resposta aos tratamentos não cirúrgicos. Recentemente, as vacinas de DNA apresentam-se promissoras na terapêutica do melanoma canino. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o assunto. As vacinas de DNA são baseadas em plasmídeos que contêm o gene codificante para o antígeno alvo, expressando-o na célula do hospedeiro e apresentando, assim, vantagens em relação às vacinas tradicionais, como: facilidade de produção, estabilidade térmica, baixo custo e estimulação da resposta imune celular (linfócitos T CD8+). Devido ao sucesso limitado das terapias padrões, o estabelecimento de uma vacina de DNA efetiva aumenta a possibilidade de uma terapia promissora para o melanoma canino, podendo trazer novas expectativas aos animais portadores dessa neoplasia.

Terapéutica alternativa asociada al bruxismo: revisión de literatura

The aim of this study was to review the literature in order to discuss the main and the most effective therapeutic activities to control the nocturnal bruxism. To identify the studies included in this review, it was conducted a detailed and advanced search strategy in the PubMed and Medline databases. It was used as KEY WORDS: bruxism, therapeutics and drug therapy. Inclusion criteria were: case reports, randomized controlled trials, in vitro studies, literature reviews and systematic reviews with or without meta-analysis of the past 10 years that addressed the theme. Exclusion criteria were: articles without abstract, animal studies, articles whose first language was not English and articles from journals that do not belong to the dentario field. From a total of 83 articles, after an analysis according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 33 articles were selected. Despite the fact that there is a small number of prospective clinical studies with high degree of reliability and most studies that evaluated the alternative treatments effectiveness are isolated case reports, the current literature shows that the use of botulinum toxin has been shown to be effective in the control of nocturnal bruxism. On the other hand, important aspects such as transitory effect, safe dosage and application technique are still little discussed, then, further studies are needed to have these doubts clarified.

Programa de educação e prevenção em saúde bucal nas escolas: análise crítica de publicações nacionais

Objective: To conduct a survey on national databases about Oral Health Program (OHP) publications in schools, in the last eleven years. Material and Methods: A survey was conducted in two main bases of national publications in the field of dentistry: Bireme and Scielo. To start the research, it was used the articles theme/subject. In the search, it was used the keywords 'oral health education', 'programs and oral health and dentistry', 'programs and oral health and education'. Results: A total of 20 publications were selected. From these, seven (35%) had the aim to evaluate educational methods used in OHP, 12 (60%) evaluated the effectiveness of the OHP itself developed in the school and one (5%) reported the experience of OHP. Only two publications did not get positive results and the other eighteen obtained advantageous results. Conclusion: In the national scientific literature, there are few publications about the subject in question, suggesting that the successful experiences about OHP in schools must be published to be replicated in other parts of Brazil.

Restauração transcirúrgica como alternativa na resolução das perfurações endodônticas

The endodontic perforations are iatrogenic communications that result in a communication between the endodonto and periodontium. This occurrence represents about 10 % of cas- es of failure in endodontic treatment. The management may vary and is related to the drilling site endodontic. This paper aims to report a case of iatrogenic perforation and one of the possible alternatives for the treatment of endodontic perforations -level cervical tooth. During the opening coronary perforation occurred due to improper slope cervical penetration drill. Considering the drilling site, we opted for sealing com- posite resin after surgical access and absolute isolation. After sealing, the channel was filled with medication and instru- mented based on calcium hydroxide. Later the canal was obturated by lateral condensation technique with Sealapex. The radiographic follow-up showed regression of the lesion and the clinical silence confirmed the success of the treatment.

A modernização da agricultura no Brasil e a produção do biocombustível como energia alternativa: uma reflexão crítica

This article discusses the policy implications of agricultural modernization implemented by the military - after 1964. This policy, which became known as the Green Revolution, on the one hand contributed to the development of big business, but another caused serious social and environmental impacts. Currently, not only in Brazil but all over the world, have been in a great debate about the need to find alternatives to contain the problems caused to the environment resulting from the use of high technology in the field. One alternative proposed by several researchers is to replace fossil fuels by biofuels. As we believe that the error is in the current model of agricultural production based on mass production, which serves the major markets, the attention in this article, the need to develop an agricultural model designed for small property, with the use of family work and agroecology.

A liberdade de imprensa vista pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal: análise da ADPF n. 130

The present study aims to present and analyze the ruling of the Brazilian Supreme Court in ADPF 130 (Concentrated constitutional review action, Fundamental Precept Infringement, Argüição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental), proposed by Partido Democrático Trabalhista (PDT), which contests the compatibility of statute 5.250/67 with the Federal Constitution of 1988. This work considers that the judicial ruling is different than the approach taken by the Legislative and Executive powers, arguing that there is, in the Judiciary, a peculiar way for ruling, surrounded by mysteries, rites, secrets, pomp and circunstances unintelligible to layman. To reach the proposed goal, Justice Carlos Brito´s report and opinion on ADPF 130 are analyzed. The choice of giving special attention to this opinion, which favors the declaration of unconstitutionality of the 5.250/67 statute, is justified in that it represents agreement with the allegation of disrespect to the constitutional text, as suggested by the Partido Democrático Trabalhista. The arguments put forth by the presiding Justice on his ruling will also be the object of consideration, as well as some possible consequences of the ruling.

Aplicação de texto paradidático no ensino de física como possível alternativa para a inclusão de aluno com deficiência visual
