ABSTRACT

Se reporta el caso de un paciente varón de 36 años con antecedente de litiasis renal que visita al urólogo por lumbalgia crónica y astenia. Se solicita laboratorio que arroja aumento de reactantes de fase aguda y leucocitosis. El diagnóstico por imagen comprende tomografía (TC) de abdomen y pelvis con contraste endovenoso (EV), TC tórax, ecografía testicular con doppler color y Resonancia Magnética de abdomen y pelvis con gadolinio EV. El servicio de diagnóstico por imágenes plantea la posibilidad de fibrosis retroperitoneal como primer diagnóstico diferencial. Se solicita biopsia de la lesiónpara su confirmación, que demuestra tejido fibrótico, confirmando el diagnóstico de fibrosis retroperitoneal, en este caso idiopática


The case of a 36-year-old male patient with a history of renal lithiasis who visits the urologist for chronic low back pain and asthenia is reported. Laboratory is requested to show an increase in acute phase reactants and leukocytosis. The imaging diagnosis includes tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis with intravenous contrast, chest CT, testicular ultrasound with color doppler and Magnetic Resonance of the abdomen and pelvis with gadolinium. The diagnostic imaging service raises the possibility of retroperitoneal fibrosis as the first differential diagnosis. Biopsy of the lesion is requested for confirmation, which demonstrates fibrotic tissue, confirming the diagnosis of idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis, in this case

ABSTRACT

Cross-sectional descriptive study with a quantitative approach, whose objectives were to identify those responsible for the care of sterilized healthcare products after their distribution to inpatient units, structural and material resources available for transportation and storage, and to describe the care given to transport and storage of sterilized healthcare products in inpatient units, and the occurrence of events related to these products. Data were collected by checklist in a large teaching hospital from July to September 2012, completed by direct observation and interviews with nursing managers. After descriptive analysis, none of the 11 units met all recommendations concerning the structure, material resources or work processes for the transport and storage of sterilized healthcare products. Events related revealed lack of care of the healthcare teams in the units, and consequent risk to maintaining product sterility and patient safety.

ABSTRACT

Pacientes desdentados posteriores frequentemente apresentam pneumatização dos seios maxilares, dificultando a colocação de implantes dentários. Atualmente, o material mais utilizado para o preenchimento de seio maxilar é o enxerto ósseo autógeno retirado de sítios intra ou extrabucais. Apesar desse procedimento ter sua eficácia comprovada clínica e histologicamente, nem sempre é bem tolerado pelos pacientes devido à morbidade associada à manipulação da área doadora. Por isso, vários substitutos ósseos vêm sendo desenvolvidos. A proteína óssea morfogenética recombinante humana-2 surgiu recentemente como uma alternativa aos enxertos autógenos, oferecendo excelente padrão de reparo e/ou neoformação óssea, quando utilizada na reconstrução de rebordos alveolares, possibilitando a reabilitação com próteses implantossuportadas. Nesse trabalho foi feita uma revisão da literatura e apresentação de caso de levantamento de assoalho de seio maxilar bilateral com o uso da proteína óssea morfogenética.


Edentulous patients in the posterior maxillary region frequently present pneumatization of maxillary sinuses, which makes difficult installation of dental implants. Nowadays, most commonly used materials for maxillary sinus filling are autogenous bone grafts from intra- or extra-oral donor sites. Despite the elevated clinical and histologic success rates of this procedure, it is always not well-tolerated by patients due to morbidity seen after donor site manipulation. For this, many bone substitutes have been developed. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 appeared recently as an alternative to autogenous bone grafts, offering excellent patterns of bone repair and/or neoformation when used for reconstruction of alveolar ridges, allowing rehabilitation with implant-supported prostheses. The aim of this article is to perform a literature review and also to report a case in which bilateral elevation of maxillary sinus floor was performed along with rhBMP-2.

ABSTRACT

AIMS: To assess pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urge urinary incontinence (UUI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: 51 women were prospectively divided into two groups, according to the symptoms as SUI (G1 = 22) or UUI (G2 = 29). Demographic data, such as number of pads/ 24 hours, number of micturations/ 24 hours and nocturia, delay time of urgent void (i.e., the time period for which an urgent void could be voluntarily postponed), number of parity and vaginal deliveries were obtained using a clinical questionnaire. Objective urine loss was evaluated by 60-min. Pad Test, subjective urine stream interruption test (UST) and visual survey of perineal contraction. Objective evaluations of PFM were performed in all patients (vaginal manometry). RESULTS: Median of age, mean number of pads / 24 hours, nocturia and warning time were significantly higher in UUI comparing to SUI group. During UST, 45.45% in G1 and 3.44%, in G2, were able to interrupt the urine stream (p < 0.001). The 60-min. Pad Test was significantly higher in G2 compared to G1 women (2.7 ± 2.4 vs 1.5 ± 1.9 respectively, p = 0.049). Objective evaluation of PFM strength was significantly higher in the SUI than in the UUI patients. No statistical difference was observed regarding other studied parameters. CONCLUSION: Pelvic floor muscle weakness was significantly higher in women with UUI when compared to SUI.

ABSTRACT

Facial involvement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is variable depending on the type, onset, and duration of the disease. The treatment of patients with open bite resulting from degenerative changes on the condyles can be a challenge for the surgeon. Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disorder of unknown etiology characterized by chronic inflammation and proliferation of synovial tissue. Studies showed that patients with rheumatoid arthritis can developed progressive osteoarthrosis that result in gross radiographic changes in the condyles. With the development of distraction osteogénesis for treatment of mandible hypoplasia a new chapter has been opened in the surgical management of patients with rheumatoid arthritis associated with skeletal deficiency. The aim of this paper is to evaluate osteogenesis distraction for treatment of anterior open bite in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and severe condylar degeneration.


El compromiso facial en pacientes con artritis reumatoide es variable dependiendo del inicio, tipo y duración de la enfermedad. El tratamiento del paciente con mordida abierta resultante de procesos degenerativos condilares son desafiantes para los cirujanos. La artritis reumatoide es una enfermedad sistémica de etiología desconocida caracterizada por inflamación crónica y proliferación del tejido sinovial. Algunos estudios han demostrado que pacientes con artritis reumatoide pueden desarrollar osteoartrosis progresiva que resulta en importantes cambios condilares. Con el desarrollo de la distracción osteogénica para el tratamiento de la hipoplasia mandibular se abrió un nuevo capítulo en el manejo quirúrgico de pacientes con artritis reumatoide asociada a deficiencias esqueletales. El objetivo de este artículo es evaluar la aplicación de distracción osteogénica en un caso de mordida abierta anterior en paciente con artritis reumatoide y degeneración condilar severa.

ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Prune Belly es una rara enfermedad congénita de causa desconocida que se caracteriza por hipoplasia o agenesia de la musculatura abdominal, criptorquidia bilateral y obstrucción baja de las vías urinarias. El género principalmente afectado es el masculino con una relación 18:1 a favor del mismo. Se presenta un caso clínico de esta patología y se expone que la evaluación de la función renal es indispensable para el tratamiento y pronóstico, ya que en esta entidad clínica el daño renal es la principal causa de muerte.


Prune Belly syndrome is a rare congenital disease of unknown cause characterized by hypoplasia or agenesis of abdominal musculature, bilateral cryptorchidism and low obstruction of the urinary tract. This syndrome affects mainly males, with an 18:1 incidence ratio. We present a clinical case of this disease and explain that the evaluation of the renal function is essential for the treatment and prognosis, as in this clinical unit, renal damage is the leading cause of death.

ABSTRACT

Com o desenvolvimento da artroscopia e a possibilidade de uma visualizaçäo direta dos componentes da articulaçäo temporomandibular, o papel da osteoartrite e da sinovite como principais causadoras das disfunçöes da ATM é agora conhecido. A intervençäo cirúrgica via artroscopia é normalmente reservada para os casos que näo responderam bem à terapia conservadora e para os casos de degeneraçöes avançadas do disco com grandes perfuraçöes, dor e restriçäo de abertura bucal. Como modalidade clínica, a artrospocia da ATM é uma técnica segura e eficaz, com invasividade mínima e complicaçöes pós-operatórias mínimas, apresentando elevados índices de sucesso

ABSTRACT

MAGE (melanoma antigen gene) is a tumor specific shared antigen, presented by HLA class I molecules, which is recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. MAGE proteins are expressed in malignant tumor cells, in contrast to no expression in normal or benign tissues except for testis and placenta. MAGE might be a potential target for immunotherapy of malignant tumors. However, its biological aspects associated with cell cycle are not yet described. The flow cytometry is a useful tool for objective and quantitative analyses of heterogenous tumor cell population. To understand the status of MAGE related to cell cycle and its relationship with p53 as the G1 checkpoint regulator, p21, and PCNA as a proliferative index, we investigated expression of MAGE-3 protein, mutant p53, p21, and PCNA by flow cytometry and immunohistochemical stain. In addition, double stains for MAGE-3/p53, p53/PCNA, and p53/p21 were analysed with bivariate flow cytometry. DNA histograms using MAGE-3/PI (DNA) and p53/PI (DNA) were also analysed. The cell line (PNUH- 12) used for this study originated from a hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, which has point mutation (exon 7, C-->G) of p53. The expression rate of MAGE-3 was 83%, PCNA 85%, and p53 81%. No expression for p21 was identified. MAGE-3 was expressed in cytoplasm, while both PCNA and p53 were expressed in nuclei of tumor cells. With bivariate analyses, coexpression rates of MAGE-3/p53 and p53/PCNA were 0.96 and 0.97, respectively. Both MAGE-3 and p53 showed constantly high level throughout the cell cycle. These results suggest that expression of MAGE-3 and mutant p53 is not dependent on the cell cycle. p21 seems to be inactivated.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: MAGE (melanoma antigen gene) is a tumor associated antigen, presented by HLA class I molecules, which is recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The expression of MAGE proteins are confined to malignant tumor tissues, except for the normal testis and placental tissues. Therefore, MAGE may be a potential target for immunotherapy of malignant tumors. However, biological aspects associated with the cell cycle are not yet described. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The material used for this study was a novel human squamous cell carcinoma cell line (PNUH-12) from the hypopharynx, which had one point mutation of 78th base, C to G, in exon 7 of p53 gene. To understand the role of MAGE in relation to cell cycle and its relationship with p53 as the Gl checkpoint regulator, the expressions of MAGE-3 protein and mvtant p53 (Mtp53) were accessed by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. Double stains for MAGE-3/Mtp53 was analyzed with bivariate flow cytometry. DNA histograms using MAGE-3/PI (DNA) and Mtp53/PI (DNA) were also analyzed. RESULTS: The expression rate of MAGE-3 and Mtp53 were 83% and 85%, respectively. MAGE-3 was expressed in cytoplasm, while M:p53 were expressed in the nuclei of the tumor cells on the immunohistochemical sections. With bivariate analyses, coexpression rate of MAGE-3/Mtp53 was 0.96, and MAGE-3 and Mtp53 constantly showed high levels throughout the cell cycle except Go. CONCLUSIONS: These results mean that (I) MAGE-3 might have yet unknown relationship with mutant p53, (2) expressions of MAGE-3 and Mtp53 are not dependent on the cell cycle in PNUH-12 hypopharyngeal squamous carcinoma cell line, and suggest that MAGE-3 might have a role as important as p53 during the development of malignant tumors.

ABSTRACT

Metástase para a mama, a partir de tumores malignos extramamários, säo raras, particularmente a partir de carcinoma de ovário. Os autores relatam dois casos de tumor metastático de ovário para mama e revisam a literatura prévia sobre esta entidade clínica pouco usual. Apesar de sua raridade, é importante diferenciar o tumor metastático do tumor primário de mama, uma vez que ambos podem diferenciar-se significativamente quanto ao prognóstico e ao tratamento. De uma maneira geral, o tumor metastático de ovário para a mama é um sinal de que a doença encontra-se disseminada, levando normalmente a uma rápida deterioraçäo do quadro clínico e culminando com a morte do paciente. Tendo em vista que, geralmente, o tumor metastático de mama possui um prognóstico ruim, o tratamento cirúrgico radical muitas vezes é desnecessário; no entanto, o médico deve estar ciente de que a escolha do tratamento ideal pode diferir de um paciente para outro.
