Photodynamic therapy, term introduced by von Tapeiner in 1900, can be defined as the administration of a non toxic drug, i.e., a dye, known as photosensitizer (FS), which subsequently will be illuminated with light of specific wavelength. PDT is based on the interaction among FS, oxygen and light, which through photochemical reactions cause cell death. The FS molecules must have a high probability to form the singlet state after the excitation, which can induce chemical changes in the neighborhood in two ways, called reactions type I and type II. The type II reaction is based on the exchange of energy to molecular oxygen, exciting it to its state of higher energy (singlet), which is highly reactive. The proposed mechanisms for cell death are linked to damage to the DNA, mitochondria and to the cytoplasmic membrane. Several pre‐clinical and clinical trials have been carried out and the PDT is already used in many countries for treatment mainly against certain types of cancer. The therapy also has been gaining strength in antimicrobial control, since the microorganisms have appeared increasingly resistant to current antibiotics. Another attempt to use the PDT is for the inactivation of macro‐organisms, such as micro‐crustaceans and mosquitoes. To this end I tested whether the photosensitizers methylene blue, rose Bengal and the chlorophyll a has insecticidal activity against the yellow fever and dengue vector mosquito, Aedes aegypti. Since these diseases have no effective treatments, its control is linked to the vector control, which has shown resistance to chemical pesticides used. Based on this, this work shows its importance, because it is a new type of mosquito control since all the photosensitizers used are low cost, do not generate toxic products at the concentrations used and showed good results in mortality. The best photosensitizer was rose Bengal... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

A terapia fotodinâmica (PDT), de maneira simplificada pode ser aplicada utilizando um fotossensibilizador (FS) e uma fonte de luz com comprimento de onda específico, que combinados na presença do oxigênio produzem espécies citotóxicas que causam o dano celular. O objetivo deste estudo piloto foi verificar a susceptibilidade de Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) à PDT, empregando diferentes concentrações de azul de metileno. As amostras desta bactéria foram sensibilizadas com azul de metileno nas concentrações de 6,25 μg/mL; 12,5 μg/mL; 25,0 μg/mL; 50,0 μg/mL; 100,0 μg/mL e 200,0 μg/mL e expostas à luz LED vermelha (660nm) por 20 minutos. Após o tratamento de todos os grupos estudados a fração de sobrevivência foi calculada pela contagem das unidades formadoras de colônia (UFC). O resultado deste estudo mostrou que o fotossensibilizador no escuro foi tóxico (dark toxicity) nas concentrações de 100 e 200 μg/mL. Já no grupo onde utilizamos apenas a luz, não houve redução bacteriana significativa. Entretanto, o uso combinado do AM e da luz LED (Grupo PDT) mostrou que todas as concentrações testadas causaram uma redução significativa de S aureus. Desta forma concluímos que a terapia fotodinâmica antimicrobiana pode ser um tratamento alternativo para redução de Staphylococcus aureus.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a technique used to treat several types of lesions, such as cancer, microbial control, and esthetic dentistry cases. The performance of PDT involves the use of a photosensitizer (PS), which mainly will be located in cancer cells and is irradiated with visible light. This process, when it occurs in the presence of oxygen triggers the formation of reactive oxygen species that are cytotoxic to cells. These species cause cell death and subsequent tumor necrosis. The use of white light as a light source for multispectral Photodynamic Therapy and its consequences to the photodynamic effect is not yet completely established, and therefore there is interest in studying the parameters involved for analyzing the best conditions for applying treatment. The wavelength is crucial to improve the therapeutic effect, since both the optical properties of the biological tissue as the PS depend on these parameters. For FS studied in this work (Photogem®) are most often used wavelengths in the red region, due to their larger penetration depth in biological tissue. Thus, the light source becomes a fundamental aspect, their choice depends on the specific application and is based on the tumor location, light dose to be delivered and FS chosen. Despite all the advantages presented by lasers, the fact of having an emission spectrum essentially monochrome makes only one possible transition possible for the absorption of FS is used. Therefore, more extensive light sources such as light emitting diodes (LED), could be better used in some cases the laser, with the additional advantage of a reduced cost. Therefore, the choice of the white LED comes from an emission spectrum that still wider LED colors defined by allowing greater use of the several absorption bands and with varying depths of operation, according to the wavelength...

s not degraded in the rumen but destroy ureasis. Soybean meal is one of the protein ingredients commonly used in formulations of animal feeds. In the diets of monogastric bran has high protein content provided by a greater separation of soybean hulls. For the ruminant protein value of the meal is lower with the inclusion of soybean hulls to reduce the level of protein. With the increased consumption of meal high protein, due to increases in production of pigs and poultry in recent years, increasing the availability of soybean hulls on the market, this is because soybean hulls is little understood in the feeding of monogastric . In this context, the main objective of this study was to determine the times and temperatures needed to ensure the effective inactivation of ureasis present in the bran and soybean hulls. According to the assessments, to make the determination of temperatures and times required for the inactivation of ureasis present in the bran and soybean hulls are 170 º C and 25 minutes for soybean meal and 140 ° C 10 minutes for soybean hulls, respectively

Photodynamic therapy is a method of healing skin lesions , in addition to radiotherapy and brachytherapy are commonly used in the treatment of skin cancers , but it is still little known in Brazil , consisting of the application to the skin of a drug in the form of cream or lotion ( photosensitizer ) . It is absorbed by tumor cells and subsequently activated by light device , that wavelength of light in the order of 630 nanometers , promoting the selective destruction of cancer cells while preserving healthy cells around the lesion . It can be considered highly effective for treatment of skin cancer types of non-melanoma ( basal cell carcinoma , 85-100 % success in curing [ 3 ] , and Bowen's disease), actinic keratoses , which are precancerous lesions and still no studies that prove also action in the treatment of acne and aging caused by the sun . And the advantage of this treatment is that , when indicated , replace the surgical procedure , selectively treating the diseased cells . Thus, it offers better cosmetic results, reducing the risk of scarring [ 4 ]

O tratamento endodôntico é de fundamental importância para abolir a infecção nos dentes com necrose pulpar. O sucesso desse tratamento depende: da eliminação eficiente da infecção no sistema de canais radiculares (SCR) e do correto selamento pela obturação dos canais radiculares. Devido à complexidade anatômica do SCR, certas áreas podem ser inacessíveis ao preparo biomecânico (PBM), portanto, o emprego de uma medicação intracanal potencializa a redução dos microrganismos (MO) e seus produtos tóxicos no SCR. Mesmo com o avanço técnico e científico da Endodontia, há MO que ainda sobrevivem ao PBM, sendo os principais responsáveis pela manutenção infecção endodôntica. Assim, novos tratamentos devem ser pesquisados. Com o advento dos aparelhos de laser e LED, surgiram alternativas de tratamentos na área da saúde, como a terapia fotodinâmica (TFD), que é um conjunto de procedimentos físicos, químicos e biológicos, que ocorrem após a administração de um agente fotossensibilizador (FS) ativado por meio de uma luz visível de comprimento de onda específico (laser ou LED) para destruir a célula-alvo, ou auxiliar no combate das infecções. Na Endodontia, foram demonstrados em estudos in vitro e in vivo que o emprego da TFD atua como um coadjuvante e potencializa a desinfecção do SCR, além de ser de fácil aplicação e não promover resistência microbiana. O objetivo da presente revisão é apresentar o estado atual da terapia fotodinâmica em Endodontia.
