ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Chronic lung disease (CLD), clinically known as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), is a major cause of morbidity in premature newborn and were submitted to oxygen therapy. OBJECTIVE: Immunohistochemical identification of inflammatory molecules in the lung tissue of premature neonates that died with CLD. METHODS: Immunohistochemical analysis of 51 samples of premature newborn lungs – grouped in: without CLD,"classic" CLD and"new" CLD. RESULTS: Neutrophil influx and the number of CD4+ and CD45RO+ cells were higher in the"classic" CLD group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that the inflammatory response is mediated by neutrophils and CD45RO+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes in the"classic" CLD.
RESUMO INTRODUÇÃO: A doença pulmonar crônica (DPC), conhecida clinicamente como displasia broncopulmonar, é uma das maiores causas de morbidade em neonatos que nasceram prematuros e foram submetidos à oxigenioterapia. OBJETIVO: Identificar moléculas inflamatórias em tecido pulmonar de recém-nascidos prematuros que morreram com DPC por meio do método de imuno-histoquímica. MÉTODOS: Análise imuno-histoquímica de 51 amostras de pulmões de recém-nascidos prematuros – formando os grupos: sem DPC, DPC"nova" e DPC"clássica". RESULTADOS: O influxo de neutrófilos e o número de células CD4+ e CD45RO+ foram maiores no grupo DPC"clássica" (p < 0,001). CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados sugerem que o processo inflamatório é mediado por neutrófilos e linfócitos CD45RO+ e CD4+ na DPC"clássica".
ABSTRACT
Background: Poor oral health status mayhave an impact on the health status of patients with chronic renal failure. Aim: To describe the oral health status of a group of Brazilian patients with chronic renal failure. Material and methods: Retrospective review of the medical records of patients with chronic renal failure, ofwhom 13 (4.5 percent) werein apre dialysis stage, 158 (55 percent) were on hemodialysis, 23 (8.4 percent) were on peritoneal dialysis and 92 (32.1 percent) were transplanted. General oral health, presence of dental calculus, and halitosis were recorded. The number of decayed, missed and filled teeth was analyzed by means of DMF-T (Decayed, Missed and Filled Teeth) índex. Resulte: The sample was composed of 152 men (53 percent) and 134 women (47 percent), aged 42±13 years. Oral health status was considered defective in most patients (83 percent). Eighty-seven percent had dental calculus and 55 percent had halitosis. Transplant patients reponed significantly less halitosis (40.2 percent) than the rest of the groups. The DMF-T for the whole population was 20.6 and had a positive correlation with age. Conclusions: This group of patients with chronic renal failure presented a poor oral health status. Dental treatment programs for these patients should be implemented to avoid the exposure to dental pathogens.
Introducción: Las alteraciones de la cavidad oral pueden tener impacto en la salud de pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica. Objetivo: Describir la salud oral de pacientes brasileños con insuficiencia renal crónica. Material y métodos: Revisión retrospectiva de las fichas dentales de pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica, de los cuales 13 (4,5 por ciento) estaban en etapa prediálisis, 158 (55 por ciento) estaban en hemodiálisis, 23 (8,4 por ciento) estaban en peritoneodiálisis y 92 (32,1 por ciento) habían sido trasplantados. Se registró la salud oral general, la presencia de tártaro y halitosis. El número de piezas faltantes y obturadas fue analizado utilizando el índice DMF-T (Decayed, Missed and Filled Teeth o dientes con cañes, faltantes y obturados). Resultados: La muestra estaba constituida por 152 hombres y 134 mujeres con una edad promedio de 42±13 años. La salud dental general era deficitaria en 83 por ciento y 87 por ciento tenía tártaro. El 55 por ciento tenía halitosis y ¡os pacientes trasplantados tenían este problema con una frecuencia significativamente menor que el resto de ¡os grupos. El índice DMF-T global fue 20,6 y tuvo una correlación positiva con la edad. Conclusiones: La salud oral de estos pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica es mala. Es importante implementar programas de tratamiento dental para estos pacientes para evitarla exposición a patógenos que pueden causar complicaciones sistémicas.
