Achados orais na síndrome de williams-beuren
2017
Background: Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS; OMIM #194050) is a developmental disorder characterized by congenital heart disease, intellectual disability, dysmorphic facial features and ophthalmologic abnormalities. Oral abnormalities are also described in clinical manifestations of the disease. This paper describes orofacial features in patients with WBS. Material and Methods: Seventeen patients with a confirmed molecular diagnosis of WBS were examined for oral abnormalities through clinical oral evaluations and panoramic radiography. Results: Malocclusion, specifically with dental midline deviation, and high-arched palate were the most common findings. Conclusions: The present results contr…
Probiotics and oral health : a systematic review
2017
Background Probiotics are microorganisms, mainly bacteria, which benefit the host’s health. Many studies support the role of probiotics as a contributor to gastrointestinal health, and nowadays many authors are trying to prove its influence in oral health maintenance. Objectives To review the published literature with the purpose of knowing the importance of using probiotics as a preventive and therapeutic method for oral infectious diseases management. Material and Methods An electronic search in PubMed database with the keywords “oral health AND probiotics AND dentistry” was conducted. The inclusion criteria were: randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that assess the action of any probiotic s…
Gut Microbiome Associates With Lipid-Lowering Effect of Rosuvastatin in Vivo
2018
Source at https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2018.00530 . Background: Statin has been widely used to treat hyperlipidemia because of its high potency in decreasing cholesterol levels. The present study aimed to examine the lipid-lowering effect of rosuvastatin and the composition, diversity and species abundance of gut microbiome in association with rosuvastatin efficacy. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ChiCTR-ORC-17013212 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, November 2, 2017. Results:Totally 64 patients with hyperlipidemia were treated with 10 mg/day of rosuvastatin for 4-8 weeks. Blood lipid indicators triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), lo…
The role of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, NO and H2S in ischaemia/reperfusion injury and cardioprotection
2020
Redox signalling in mitochondria plays an important role in myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and in cardioprotection. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) modify cellular structures and functions by means of covalent changes in proteins including among others S‐nitros(yl)ation by nitric oxide (NO) and its derivatives, and S‐sulphydration by hydrogen sulphide (H2S). Many enzymes are involved in the mitochondrial formation and handling of ROS, NO and H2S under physiological and pathological conditions. In particular, the balance between formation and removal of reactive species is impaired during I/R favouring their accumulation. Therefore, various interventions aimed a…
Drugs and diseases: Summary and consensus statements of group 1. The 5th EAO Consensus Conference 2018
2018
OBJECTIVES: The task of this working group was to update the knowledge about the use of drugs and biologicals affecting healing of soft tissue and bone during implant treatment or procedures associated with it. Moreover, the impact of titanium particles and biocorrosion on complications and implant survival has been analysed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The literature in the areas of interest (platelet concentrates, antiresorptive drugs as well as implant-host interaction) was screened using systematic reviews for the former two areas, whereas a narrative critical review was performed for the latter topic. Two manuscripts on platelet concentrates, one manuscript on antiresorptive drugs and one m…
Evaluation of scientific output in Dentistry in Spanish Universities
2016
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the scientific output of Spanish universities that offer a bachelor’s degree in dentistry through the use of various bibliometric indicators. Material and Methods: A total of 21 universities offered a bachelor’s degree in dentistry in academic year 2016- 2017. The search for papers published by authors associated with these institutions was carried out using the selection of journals listed in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and the Web of Knowledge database for the period 1986-2017. On the basis of these data, we determined the output, the h-, g- and hg-indexes, the most productive authors, international collaborations, and the most releva…
Porosity analysis of MTA and Biodentine cements for use in endodontics by using micro?computed tomography
2018
Background The purpose of this study is to compare the porosity of two repair cements, White ProRoot® MTA and Biodentine®. These samples were analyzed by using micro-computed microtomography. Material and methods Sixteen samples were used in the study that were divided according to the composition of the materials used. White ProRoot® MTA (n = 8) and Biodentine® (n = 8) were the samples prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions. They were placed in silicone molds of 5 ± 0.1mm in height and an internal diameter of 5 ± 0.1mm, 24 hours after its preparation, the samples were scanned through a micro-CT, the porosity results were analyzed statistically by independent "t" tests. Resul…
Citoprotección miocárdica: efecto de la trimetazidina en la isquemia miocárdica
2002
El objetivo del presente trabajo ha sido evaluar la acción de la trimetazidina (TMZ), un fármaco antiisquémico con un mecanismo de acción metabólico, en el deterioro de la función sistólica y en las alteraciones mitocondriales que se producen en el miocardio sometido a isquemia-reperfusión. Para ello se han utilizado 30 perros mestizos, de ambos sexos, distribuidos en 2 protocolos diferentes de isquemia-reprfusión: 1) un protocolo de 20 obstrucciones completas de la arteria coronaria descendente anterior (DA) de 2 minutos de duración y separadas por 3 minutos de reperfusión; y 2) un protocolo de obstrucción única de una rama distal de la DA, de 15 minutos de duración y seguida de 60 minutos…
Valoración de técnicas de luz estructurada en la determinación de deformidades del raquis
2002
Título: VALORACIÓN DE TÉCNICAS DE LUZ ESTRUCTURADA EN LA DETERMINACIÓN DE LAS DEFORMIDADES DEL RAQUIS.Introducción: En los últimos años se ha observado un desarrollo de los métodos indirectos, entre los que se encuentra la luz estructurada, aplicados al estudio de las deformidades del raquis, y fundamentalmente, de la escoliosis idiopática. Esto se debe al interés por disminuir el número de exploraciones radiográficas, cuantificar la deformidad externa y caracterizar correctamente una patología que tiene lugar en los tres planos del espacio y que clásicamente viene siendo representada por el ángulo de Cobb. Objetivo: 1) Es la puesta a punto, para su utilización en la práctica clínica, de un…
Estudio sobre la capacidad de sellado del MTA en perforaciones de furca
2009
El MTA es un cemento formado por un conglomerado de partículas minerales que, al mezclarse con agua, forma un gel coloidal. Pese a su desarrollo como un material de obturación en Endodoncia gracias a sus propiedades, existen algunos aspectos en su comportamiento en los que los autores no llegan a resultados concluyentes: su capacidad para prevenir la filtración, su adaptación a la dentina y su capacidad de sellado.OBJETIVO: Determinar la capacidad de sellado del MTA en perforaciones de furca y compararla con la de un ionómeros de vidrio fotopolimerizable y otro autopolimerizable y con un composite fluido y uno convencional.MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS:60 molares extraídos humanos fueron distribuidos …
