Euterpe oleracea Mart. é uma típica palmeira da Amazônia, que cresce espontaneamente nos estados do Pará e Amapá, apreciada por sua atrativa beleza e valor nutricional. O fruto de Euterpe oleracea, comumente conhecido como açaí, tem demonstrado exibir significante capacidade anti-oxidante in vitro, o que pode ter benefícios à saúde. Estudos químicos revelaram a presença de ácidos graxos, antocianinas e esteroides. O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar fitoquimícamente o óleo fixo dos frutos desta espécie (OEO) e avaliar em modelos inflamatórios e hiperalgésicos in vivo, o possível envolvimento dos compostos nas respostas inflamatória e analgésica. Para tanto, os modelos experimentais usados foram: teste de contorção induzida por ácido acético, edema de pata de rato, teste do granuloma em ratos, permeabilidade vascular em ratos, migração leucocitária em ratos e eritema de orelha induzida por óleo de cróton em camundongos. Doses orais de 500, 1000 e 1500 mg/kg de OEO inibiu o número de contorções em 33,67%, 45,88% e 55,58, respectivamente. O OEO produziu efeito dose-dependente, e a dose média efetiva encontrada foi de 1226,8mg/kg. Com a administração oral da dose de 1226,8 mg/kg, o OEO inibiu o processo inflamatório em 29,18% quando comparado ao grupo controle. A administração diária de OEO por 6 dias inibiu a formação do tecido granulomatoso em 36,66%. No eritema de orelha por óleo de cróton, o OEO provocou efeito inibitório significativo em 37,9%. No teste de permeabilidade vascular, o OEO inibiu a permeabilidade vascular em 54,5%. Na peritonite induzida por carragenina, o OEO reduziu o número de neutrófilos quando comparado ao grupo controle (inibição de 80,14%). A partir dos resultados obtidos, sugere-se que o OEO apresenta atividade anti-inflamatória, sobre os processos inflamatórios agudo e crônico, e atividade antinociceptiva, provavelmente de origem periférica.

The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate clinical studies on the follow-up survival of implants inserted in the zygomatic bone for maxillary rehabilitation. A comprehensive search of studies published from 2000 to July 2012 and listed in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was performed in accordance with the PRISMA statement. Relevant studies were selected according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The initial database search yielded 751 titles. After filtering, 313 abstracts were selected, culminating in 42 full text articles. Application of eligibility criteria led to the elimination of 17 articles. Hence 25 full-text articles were considered clinically relevant and were included. Calculations of the interval survival rates and cumulative survival rates of implants could be carried out on the data extracted from the final list of included studies for the different time intervals. These studies reported the insertion of a total of 1541 zygomatic implants and 33 implant failures. Failure generally occurred during the first year interval and was related to clinical complications, such as recurrent acute and chronic sinusitis. After a 36-month follow-up, the survival rate was 97.86%. Additional studies with longer follow-up periods, including the number of zygomatic implants inserted and details of the variations in the surgical techniques used and the impact of the maxillary morphology are still required.

Throughout the genetic and physiological evolution of microorganisms, the microbiological sciences have been expanding the introduction of new therapeutic trials against microbial diseases. Special attention has been paid to the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which induces gastric infections capable of causing damage, ranging from acute and chronic gastritis to the development of gastric cancer and death. The use of compounds with natural origins has gained popularity in scientific research focused on drug innovation against H. pylori because of their broad flexibility and low toxicity. The aim of this study was to describe the use of natural products against H. pylori in order to clarify important parameters for related fields. The study demonstrated the vast therapeutic possibilities for compounds originating from natural sources and revealed the need for innovations from future investigations to expand the therapeutic arsenal in the fight against H. pylori infection.

This paper proposed a two-dimensional spatial model to describe the adaptive immune response for viral hepatitis B. This model considered six populations: healthy hepatocytes T, infected hepatocytes Y , hepatitis B virus V , innate immune system I, active immune system X and memory cells, X. First, a compartmental model was constructed and its equilibrium solutions and also the threshold values related to the stability of each solution were obtained. Using this model, we was able to reproduce the different trends observed for the disease, which are: individuals that eliminate the infection without forming immune response, patients with acute and chronic carriers. By including dispersion of defense cells of the immune system and virus (spatial model), we analyze two situations: homogeneous model, in which the model parameters are the same at all points of the network, and heterogeneous model, which characterizes cells more permeable and less permeable to virus invasion. For the two spatial models (homogeneous and heterogeneous) the times relatead to the viral erradication and/or virus invasion and persistence becoming smaller in relation to the compartmental model. The results also showed that for the set of values used in the simulations and if the two diffusion rates are different from zero, the model is sensitive to variations in the rate of viral spread and not dependent on the dispersion of memory cells. Finally, the heterogeneous model when compared to the homogeneous model shows that the infection can be spatially limited depending on the type of the cell involved in the infection process
