Efeito do tratamento da superfície dental com os lasers Nd:YAG e Er: Yag na adesão da resina composta à dentina recém clareada

To evaluate the effect of surface treatment with Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser on resin composite bond strength to recently bleached dentin. Material and Methods: In this study 120 bovine incisors were used and distributed into two groups: Group C: without bleaching treatment; Group B: with bleaching treatment (35% hydrogen peroxide). Each group was divided into three subgroups: Subgroup N: without laser treatment; Subgroup Nd: irradiation with Nd:YAG laser; Subgroup Er: irradiation with Er:YAG laser. Next, the adhesive system (Adper Single Bond 2) was applied and composite buildups were constructed with Z350 composite. The teeth were sectioned to obtain dentin-resin sticks (1x1mm) and analyzed by microtensile bond testing. The data were statistically analyzed by the ANOVA and Tukey tests. Results: The results showed that the bond strength values in the bleached control group (16.17 MPa) presented no significant difference in comparison with the group bleached and irradiated with Er:YAG laser (14.69 MPa). The non bleached control group (26.79 MPa) presented significant difference in bond strength when compared with the non bleached group irradiated with Er:YAG laser (22.82 MPa) and with the group treated by bleaching and irradiation with Nd:YAG laser (28,792 MPa). The group without bleaching treatment and irradiated with Nd:YAG (36.1 MPa) presented a significant increase in bond strength in comparison with the other groups. Conclusion: The use of Nd:YAG laser on bleached specimens was able of completely reversing the immediate effects of bleaching, obtaining bond strength values similar to those of the control group

Avaliação in vitro da ação de substâncias químicas auxiliares, clorexidina e medicações intracanais sobre C. albicans, E. faecalis, E. coli e sua endotoxina em canais radiculares: [recurso eletrônico]

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of chlorhexidine gel 2% as auxiliary chemical substance on the biomechanical preparation (BMP) and medication intracanal (ICM) on C. albicans, E. faecalis, E. coli and their endotoxin in root canals. We used 48 single-rooted human teeth divided into four groups according to dressing ICM: 1) Ca(OH)2 + pyrogen-free saline solution; 2) 2% chlorhexidine gel (CLX); 3) Ca(OH)2 + CLX, and; 4) pyrogen-free saline solution (control group). Were collected the contents of root canals to confirm the presence of microorganisms (confirmation), immediately after instrumentation (1st collection), after 7 days of the BMP (2nd collection), after 14 days of the action of ICM (3rd Collection) and 7 days after removal of the ICM (4 th collection). Were performed: the evaluation of antimicrobial activity and the content analysis of endotoxins for all sampling tests. The results were statistically analyzed using Kruskall-Wallis and Dunn tests with a significance of 5%. It was found that the CLX as auxiliary chemical substance has significantly reduced microorganisms confirmation collection when compared. In relation to the neutralization of endotoxin, it was found that the 1st and 2nd collections presented a decrease of 92.03% and 98.10% in mean percentage respectively, when compared to the confirmation collection. In the 3rd and 4th samplings, the Ca (OH)2 + CLX group showed the best results. It was concluded that the BMP and the ICM were able to eliminate the tested microrganisms, however, they were not able to completely eliminate endotoxins root canal

Antioxidantes e biomarcadores da injúria oxidativa na saliva de pacientes com síndrome de down

Vulnerability of patients with Down syndrome (DS) to oxidative stress and damage has been attributed to the overexpression of the superoxide dismutase gene, which is located in the triplicated critical region 21q22.2 of chromosome 21. The objective of this study was to investigate enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems and levels of biomarkers of oxidative damage in saliva of patients with DS. Saliva samples were collected from 30 patients with DS and 30 controls, ranging in age from 14 to 24 years. The following parameters were analyzed: superoxide dismutase activity, concentration of malondialdehyde, carbonylated proteins, uric acid, vitamin C and total protein, peroxidase activity, and total antioxidant capacity. Patients with DS presented significantly higher superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde levels than controls (p<0.05). On the other hand, no difference in carbonylated proteins or antioxidants (uric acid, vitamin C, peroxidase, and total antioxidant capacity) was observed between DS patients and controls (p>0.05). Patients with DS also presented higher salivary total protein content (p<0.05). In conclusion, despite similar antioxidant levels patients with DS are more vulnerable to oxidative stress in saliva as indicated by a significant increase in malondialdehyde concentration and superoxide dismutase activity

Vicentina Aranha de sanatório a parque: histórias e mudanças

This assignment intents to analyze the recover and the research of the cultural legacy identity of Vicentina Aranha Sanatorium to the inhabitants of the city of São José dos Campos-SP. That initiative becomes present through the importancy of the sanatorium to the public health of Vale do Paraíba in the decades between 30 and 70, of the 20th century. Nowadays this place refuges a park, presenting a reexamination of its space, with the possibility of the leisure practice, entertaining and tourism. The Vicentina Aranha Sanatorium Park presents itself conserving a landscape that is able of being inserted in a continuum past-present resignifying ways of appropriation and use. The word patrimony has many meanings and it‟s commonly associated to the set of goods that someone, the society or an entity owns. Transporting in a determinate territory, the patrimony starts to be a set of goods that are in its limits of administrative competency. (BARRETO, 2000). More than this, the cultural-historical patrimony guard a relation of belonging between it and the entity that has it. The Vicentina Aranha Sanatorium was inaugurated in 1924, with the project of the architect, Ramos de Azevedo, constituting an architectural ensemble placed under governmental trust as a historical and cultural patrimony of the state in 2001. It has a grove with centenary vegetal species like: MOGNO, PEROBA ROSA, JEQUITIBÁ and JACARANDA, constituting also a natural patrimony important for the city. There are projects like “Leitura no Bosque” and it‟s visited by the local population. Today the city seeks a new identity for that place transforming it in the center of industrial and technologic study

Articulação temporomandibular: anatomia, dinâmica e disfunções temporomandibulares

This study gathered some of the most relevant researches already undertaken regarding the Temporomandibular Joint, presenting descriptions of its anatomy and dynamics, and relating them to the main aspects of joint dysfunctions. Literature recognizes that the Temporomandibular Joint, responsible for lower jaw movements, comprehends the skull base and the jaw bone. Its anatomy and dynamics are of great importance in order to understand the functions of Stomatognathic System as well as to study Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction. The elements that compose this synovial joint and the bilateral characteristic confer eminent importance to the ATM before the skeleton head, the ability to perform broad movements and high complexity in its operation. It is accepted that the overload of one anatomical structure from the TMJ or other components of the Stomatognathic System leads to Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunctions. These disorders have different etiologies, ranging from malocclusion to emotional stress, and various forms of treatment, which are related in this study

Mensuração e análise do ph salivar em pacientes com hiperidrose submetidos a cirurgia de simpatectomia videotoracoscópica

The study was performed to verify if there are changes in salivary pH in patients with hyperhidrosis who were treated by Videothoracoscopic Sympathectomy. Twelve patients underwent sympathectomy with clamping the sympathetic chain along the vertebrae T2, T3 and T4, under inhalation and intravenous general anesthesia and with drainage of pneumothorax through probe N° 16. These patients had their saliva collected 1 day before and 7 days after surgery for measurement of pH by the colorimetric method with indicator paper. All patients showed no sign or symptom of hyperhidrosis in the immediate postoperative period, which demonstrates the success of sympathetic denervation on these levels. No patient had compensatory sweating and there was no post-operatively surgical complication. No drug or substance has been administered to patients for the study. The pH results obtained were analyzed using test ´´t´´ Student. Although the average pH in samples obtained after surgery was lower than the preoperative, the test revealed no statistically significant difference (p = 0.181). It is concluded that sympathectomy, an excellent therapeutic and definitive method for hyperhidrosis, does not alter the salivary pH, and so, did not influence the cariogenic process

Predação de sementes do palmito juçara Euterpe edulis Martius em fragmentos florestais - testando o modelo Janzen-Connell

A extensa fragmentação das florestas tropicais e conseguinte perda da fauna de dispersores e predadores de sementes trazem importantes consequências às interações planta-animal. A predação de sementes, que representa uma etapa crítica no recrutamento de plantas tropicais, é um dos processos que sofrem com este impacto. A falta dos agentes dispersores e predadores de sementes pode alterar a dinâmica natural dessa interação trófica ao ponto de não corresponder mais ao modelo de Janzen-Connell, que prediz que quanto mais próximo da planta parental, maior a probabilidade de predação e, por conseqüência, menor será a dispersão. Esse estudo avaliou em três fragmentos com níveis diferenciado de defaunação (Mata São José, Reserva Municipal Santa Genebra e Estação Ecológica dos Caetetus) a predação (e/ou dispersão) de sementes de palmito juçara (Euterpe edulis Martius) abaixo e longe da planta-mãe, buscando testar o modelo Janzen-Connell. Em cada área cinco sementes foram dispostas em tratamento aberto e cinco em tratamento fechado, abaixo e distante 10 metros do parental em 15 palmeiras e avaliado o destino das sementes após 30 dias. Os resultados não oferecem suporte ao modelo, uma vez que apenas em um dos fragmentos pequenos e defaunados a predação abaixo do parental foi maior que distante, ou seja, nos demais fragmentos a distância da planta mãe não aumentou a sobrevivência das sementes. Nas áreas defaunadas a predação ocorreu principalmente por invertebrados e patógenos, enquanto que na área menos defaunada a predação foi feita principalmente por vertebrados. Diferenças significativas na predação de sementes entre os tratamentos só foram obtidas na área menos defaunada, o que mostra a importância dos predadores vertebrados de médio e grande porte na predação e/ou dispersão de sementes de E. edulis neste fragmento.

Tangentially the implants were bonded the strain gauges, two to the center implant. Ten structures, each one containing three copings were cast in Co-Cr alloy, that were divided into groups in the first group, plastic copings were used, and in the second group machined copings were used. The superstructure’s occlusal screws were tightened onto Microunit abutments with 10 Ncm torque, the magnitude of micro strain was recorded. The mean values of each strain gauge of each plastic copings were 363,37 ± 237,66 and the machined copings were 338,12 ± 223,01. The data were analyzed statistically by t- Student test. No statistically significant difference was found between the prosthetic copings (p= 0,867). It was concluded that to internal hexagon implants in line placement, the type of copings presented similar magnitude of micro strain after prosthetic occlusal screw was tightened

Desenvolvimento regional e sustentabilidade: a indústria intensiva em recursos naturais na região administrativa de Ribeirão Preto

The natural resource intensive industries have moved from center to periphery in Brazil. This shift is related to the environmental impacts generated by this type of industry, as occur biggest benefits to these industries in small towns as tax exemptions and donations of land, and local institutional capacity is lower in pollution control. In the 1970s began, in the state of São Paulo, a process of industrial deconcentration of Metropolitan Region of São Paulo to the inside of state, which generated an intense industrialization of the region of Campinas, Ribeirão Preto, Sorocaba e São José dos Campos. This process of industrial deconcentration had support in state policies restricting new industries in the Metropolitan Region and the creation and financing of infrastructure and improvement of road. This research project aims to verify whether there has been a shift of natural resource intensive industries for the Administrative Region of Ribeirão Preto, as well as aspects of the sustainability of this process
