Thymus essential oil extraction, characterization and incorporation in phospholipid vesicles for the antioxidant/antibacterial treatment of oral cavi…
2018
The aim of the work was to extract, characterize, and formulate Thymus capitatus (Tymbra capitata) essential oil in phospholipid vesicles: liposomes, glycerosomes and Penetration Enhancer-containing Vesicles (PEVs). The steam-distilled essential oil was mainly composed of carvacrol. The oil was mixed with lecithin and water to produce liposomes, or different ratios of water/glycerol or water/propylene glycol (PG) to produce glycerosomes and PG-PEVs, respectively. Cryo-TEM showed the formation of unilamellar, spherical vesicles, and light scattering disclosed that their size increased in the presence of glycerol or PG, which improved long-term stability. The formulations were highly biocompa…
Effect of depth of neuromuscular blockade on the abdominal space during pneumoperitoneum establishment in laparoscopic surgery.
2015
To evaluate the effect of neuromuscular blockade (NMB) upon the abdominal space during pneumoperitoneum establishment in laparoscopic surgery, comparing moderate NMB and deep NMB.Prospective, randomized, crossover clinical trial.Operating room.Seventy-six American Society of Anesthesiologists 1 to 2 patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery.Two independent evaluations were performed at the establishment of pneumoperitoneum for a preset intraabdominal pressures (IAPs) of 8 and 12 mm Hg, both during moderate NMB (train-of-four count, 1-3) and deep NMB (posttetanic count,5). Rocuronium was used to induce NMB, and sugammadex was used for reversal.We evaluated (i) the volume of CO2 in…
Surgical Advances in the Treatment of Abdominal Wall Hernias
2015
In the last two decades, the surgery of the abdominal wall has experienced an important development from being considered a matter of little interest for general surgeon, to having a greater presence at scientific meetings and to being increasingly prominent in the specialist training in surgery. In 1990 the plastic surgeon Oscar Ramirez published a method to repair defects in the abdominal wall that called “Component Separation Technique” thereafter general surgeons fixed his attention on the techniques of autoplastic repair of the abdominal wall that had already developed throughout the twentieth century. This interest grows with the emergence of new prosthesis and the use of laparoscopic…
Oral leiomyoma in retromolar trigone : a case report
2007
Leiomyomas are bening tumours originated on smooth muscle. The most frequent site of appearance are uterine myometrium, gastrointestinal tract and skin. The highest incidence ocurs between 40 and 49 years of age. Its presentation is unusual in children or in older patients. Leiomyomas are unfrequent in the oral cavity, but in this location are usually localized on tongue, lips and palate. Leiomyomas use to appear as well-defined masses, with slow growth and totally asymptomatic. Pain is present just in rare cases. The treatment is surgical escision. Recurrences are extremely unfrequent. The diagnosis is mainly determined by histological studies due to its unspecific clinical appearance. His…
Cavity Control of Excitons in Two-Dimensional Materials
2018
We propose a robust and efficient way of controlling the optical spectra of two-dimensional materials and van der Waals heterostructures by quantum cavity embedding. The cavity light-matter coupling leads to the formation of exciton-polaritons, a superposition of photons and excitons. Our first principles study demonstrates a reordering and mixing of bright and dark excitons spectral features and in the case of a type II van-der-Waals heterostructure an inversion of intra and interlayer excitonic resonances. We further show that the cavity light-matter coupling strongly depends on the dielectric environment and can be controlled by encapsulating the active 2D crystal in another dielectric m…
Numerical prediction of ventilated planing flat plates for the design of Air Cavity Ships
2017
In recent years, a great world issue is the respect for the environment. Each researcher, in his competence field, proposes new technologies and new approaches in order to reduce the environmental impact of a product or of an industrial process. In the naval field, the main way in order to reduce the environmental impact of the ship during the navigation is the reduction of the drag resistance and so the reduction of requested power. There are many ways in order to obtain a reduction of drag. This paper investigates, with a preliminary numerical study by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the Air Cavity Ships technology (ACS). A first part of the paper concerns the study of the ri…

Modulation of Forssman Glycosphingolipid Expression by Murine Macrophages: Coinduction with Class II MHC Antigen by the Lymphokines IL4 and IL6
1990
In contrast to murine spleen M phi, resident peritoneal M phi from health mice express very little Forssman glycolipid antigen (Fo). The following experiments suggest that Fo expression by peritoneal M phi may be associated with inflammation. Balb/c and CBA/J mice were given inflammatory stimuli by i.p. injection of live BCG, thioglycollate (TG), Corynebacterium parvum (CP), proteose peptone (PP), or LPS. Control animals received pyrogen-free saline. Expression of Fo and Ia antigen by peritoneal M phi was determined by immunofluorescence after 4 d. Application of TG or CP led to an up to 30-fold increase in Fo+, Ia+ double positive M phi over that in control animals. LPS caused mainly an in…
In vitro evaluation of the temperature increment at the external root surface after Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation of the root canal
2009
Objectives. A study was made to determine the temperature increment at the dental root surface following Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation of the root canal. Design. Human canines and incisors previously instrumented to K file number ISO 30 were used. Irradiation was carried out with glass fiber endodontic tips measuring 200 µm in diameter and especially designed for insertion in the root canal. The teeth were irradiated at 1 and 2 W for 30 seconds, without water spraying or air, and applying a continuous circular movement (approximately 2 mm/sec.) in the apico-coronal direction. Results. At the 1 W power setting, the mean temperature increment was 3.84ºC versus 5.01ºC at 2 W. In all cases the d…
