ABSTRACT

Abstract Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi green fruits essential oil (EO) was evaluated regarding its phytochemical profile, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities, and toxicity. Gas chromatography with mass spectrometry was applied to identify its constituents, thereafter the minimum inhibitory concentration, minimum bactericidal and fungicidal concentrations, and its antibiofilm activity were evaluated. The EO cytotoxicity was assessed in tumor and non-tumor human cells, and in vivo toxicity was evaluated in a Galleria mellonella model. The major constituents of S. terebinthifolia EO were alpha-phellandrene and beta-phellandrene. The EO had a weak activity against all strains of Candida albicans (MIC 1000µg/mL) and had no activity against non-albicans strains, bacteria, and C. albicans biofilm. Cytostatic activity against all tumor cell lines was shown. Additionally, cell viability remained at EO concentrations up to 62.5 µg/mL. At 16 mg/mL, 50% hemolysis was observed, and it had low toxicity in vivo. Overall, the S. terebinthifolia EO was characterized by low antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities, with no evidence of toxicity to human tumor and non-tumor cells

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto de campos adesivos impregnados com iodo (CAII) na prevenção de infecção de sítio cirúrgico (ISC) de coluna vertebral. Método: Coorte retrospectiva que comparou desfecho de ISC em pacientes que utilizaram CAII com os que não usaram, de 2015 a 2019. Resultados: A frequência geral de ISC foi de 16,7%, com a taxa de ISC para os que utilizaram CAII de 40% e, entre os que não usaram, de 60%; p = 0,728; intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC95%) 0,19­3,11. A normotermia foi o único fator protetor independente para ISC (p = 0,043). O tratamento de complicações infecciosas acarretou o incremento de custo hospitalar de 83,6% a cada dia de atendimento. Os pacientes que utilizaram CAII tiveram 10 (± 4,9) dias a menos de permanência hospitalar. Conclusões: Os resultados sugerem que o uso de CAII não foi associado a menor risco de ISC. Esses dados podem ser úteis para o planejamento cirúrgico e a segurança do paciente.


Objective: To evaluate the impact of iodine-impregnated incision drapes (IIIDs) to prevent surgical site infection (SSI) in the spine. Method: Retrospective cohort study comparing SSI outcome in patients in which IIIDs were and were not used, from 2015 to 2019. Results: The overall frequency of SSI was 16.7%, with SSI rate among patients using and not using IIIDs of 40% and 60%, respectively; p = 0.728; 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 0.19­3.11. Normothermia was the only independent protective factor for SSI (p = 0.043). The treatment of infectious complications resulted in hospital costs increase of 83.6% each day of care. Patients who were treated with IIIDs stayed 10 days less (± 4.9) in hospital. Conclusions: The results suggest that the use of IIIDs was not associated with a lower risk of SSI. These data can be useful for surgical planning and patient safety.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Appropriated denture hygiene is a predictive factor for longevity of rehabilitation treatment and maintenance of the oral mucosal health. Although, disinfectant solutions are commonly used as denture cleansers, the impact of these solutions on acrylic resin-based dentures remain unclear. Objective To evaluate, in vitro, the antibiofilm activity of complete denture hygiene solutions and their effects on physical and mechanical properties of acrylic resin. Methodology For antibiofilm activity measurement acrylic resin specimens were contaminated with Candida albicans, Candida glabrata and Streptococcus mutans. After biofilm growth, the specimens were assigned to the hygiene solutions: Distilled water (Control); 0.2% Sodium hypochlorite (SH); Efferdent Power Clean Crystals (EPC) and 6.25% Ricinus communis (RC). The viability of microorganisms was evaluated by agar plate counts. In parallel, physical, and mechanical properties of the acrylic resin were evaluated after simulating a 5-year period of daily immersion in the previously mentioned solutions. The changes in surface roughness, color, microhardness, flexural strength, impact strength, sorption and solubility were evaluated. Data were compared by ANOVA followed by the Tukey test or Kruskal-Wallis followed by the Dunn test depending on the distribution (α=0.05). Results Regarding antibiofilm action, SH eliminated all microorganisms while EPC and RC exhibited moderate action against S. mutans (p=0.001) and C. glabrata (p<0.001), respectively. Relative to effects on the physical and mechanical properties of the acrylic resin, RC led to higher values of color change (p=0.030), hardness (p<0.001), surface roughness (p=0.006) and flexural strength (p<0.001). Moreover, RC induced the highest values of changes in solubility (p<0.001). EPC promoted greater changes in surface morphology, whereas immersion in SH retained the initial appearance of the acrylic resin surface. All hygiene solutions reduced the impact strength (p<0.05). Conclusion SH presented the most effective antibiofilm activity. In addition, changes on properties were observed after immersion in RC, which were considered within acceptable limits.

Abstract Objective: Assess the antimicrobial action of ozone gas (O3) on surfaces and artificially cooled ambient air. Methods: Cross-sectional experimental/laboratory study carried out in ten rooms of a medical microbiology research lab, with class 2 biosafety risk. The demarcated surfaces on the floor, wall and counter were assessed in relation to the presence or absence of microorganisms, based on collections done with swabs dampened in sterile distilled water, before and after exposure to ozone gas produced by two different generators. After this procedure, each swab was inoculated on the surface of a Brain Heart Infusion Agar DIFCO® (BHI) culture, followed by incubation at 35ºC for 24 hours. For the microbiological analysis of the air, a petri dish with BHI was openly exposed for one hour, before and after treatment with O3 gas, and were incubated according to the same criteria. Results: The antimicrobial activity of the O3 gas produced by both generators was checked in all the areas investigated, with records indicating a decrease in the number of colony-forming units. The antimicrobial inhibition potential of the generators was close to the analysis criteria adopted, particularly for the floor and counter areas. Based on all the rooms and microbial inhibition percentages, in relation to the two generators, the results were: floor (100%), counter (90%), wall (50%) and air (70%). Conclusion: The O3 generators had antimicrobial potential as a procedure for controlling microorganisms present on surfaces and in artificially cooled ambient air, constituting a feasible sanitizer.

ABSTRACT

The incorporation of antimicrobial agents may influence the mechanical properties of acrylic resins. Thus, the use of these agents only in regions of dental prostheses subject to greater contamination may be an alternative. This study evaluates the effect of thermomechanical fatigue on the bond strength between a conventional and an experimental acrylic resin incorporated with nanostructured silver vanadate decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgVO3). 60 specimens (Ø13mm x 23mm height) in self-curing resin were obtained and divided into groups according to the experimental resin incorporated with AgVO3 (Ø4mm x 6mm height): G1­Conventional x Conventional, G2­Conventional x 2.5% of AgVO3, G3­Conventional x 5% of AgVO3. Ten samples of each group were subjected to bond strength analysis after manufacture, and 10 were previously submitted to 1.200.000 cycles with 98N load and 2Hz/second frequency and alternating baths of 5 ºC, 37ºC and 55 ºC. The fracture area was analyzed. The data were submitted to analysis of variance of two-factors with Bonferroni adjustment for post hoc comparisons (α=0.05) was used. The fatigue did not affect the bond strength (p=0.416), however, there was influence of the AgVO3 concentration on the bond strength between the resins (p=0.013). Mixed failures with adhesive predominance were observed in samples without AgVO3 and cohesive failures in samples with the nanomaterial. The use of AgVO3 can improve or maintain the bond strength between resins with no thermomechanical fatigue influence. (AU).


A incorporação de agentes antimicrobianos pode influenciar nas propriedades mecânicas de resinas acrílicas. Desta forma, o uso destes agentes apenas em regiões das próteses dentárias sujeitas a maior contaminação pode ser uma alternativa. Este estudo avalia o efeito da fadiga termomecânica na resistência de união entre uma resina acrílica convencional e uma experimental incorporada com vanadato de prata nanoestruturado decorado com nanopartículas de prata (AgVO3). Foram obtidos 60 espécimes (Ø13mm x 23mm de altura) em resina autopolimerizável, divididos em grupos de acordo com a resina experimental incorporada com AgVO3 (Ø4mm x 6mm de altura): G1-Convencional x Convencional, G2-Convencional x 2,5% de AgVO3, G3 -Convencional x 5% de AgVO3. Dez amostras de cada grupo foram submetidas à análise de resistência à união após a confecção e 10 foram submetidas previamente a 1.200.000 ciclos com carga de 98 N e frequência de 2Hz/segundo e banhos alternados de 5 ºC, 37 ºC e 55 ºC. A área de fratura foi analisada. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância de dois fatores com ajuste de Bonferroni para comparações pos hoc (α = 0,05). A fadiga não afetou a força de união (p=0,416), no entanto, houve influência da concentração de AgVO3 na resistência de união entre as resinas (p=0,013). Falhas mistas com predominância adesiva foram observadas nas amostras sem AgVO3 e falhas coesivas nas amostras contendo o nanomaterial. O uso de AgVO3 pode melhorar ou manter a resistência da união entre as resinas sem influência da fadiga termomecânica.

ABSTRACT

The emergence of multidrug-resistant strains to antibiotics has motivated the search for new substances with antimicrobial activity, especially those derived from medicinal plants. Salvia officinalis L. is a medicinal plant that arouses scientific interest due to being associated with multiple therapeutic effects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial potential of S. officinalis L. against pathogens in the oral cavity. The antimicrobial potential of the ethanol extract of leaf of S. officinalis L was evaluated by broth microdilution, with determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and Minimum bactericidal/Fungicide concentration (MBC / MFC), against the species Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus sanguis, Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida guillermond, Candida krusei and Candida tropicalis. The extract showed moderate antifungal potential before Candida species (MIC = 1 mg/mL). And for the species of Streptococcus, the antimicrobial activity was from moderate to strong whose MIC ranged from 0.25 to 1 mg/mL. In this study, the extract from the leaves of S. officinalis L. presented oral cavity antimicrobial activity against pathogens. These results point to S. officinalis as a possible source of active ingredients in the development of formulations with antimicrobial activity of dental use. (AU).

ABSTRACT

Abstract To examine the effect of the alternative coinitiator 4,4'bis dimethylamino benzydrol (BZN) in degree of conversion (DC), mechanical and biological properties of experimental composites. The coinitiator BZN was used in three concentrations (0.2, 0.5 and 1.2%), and the coinitiator DMAEMA was used as control at the same concentrations as above. The molar concentration of camphorquinone (CQ) and coinitiators was kept constant (1:1). The composites were manipulated and submitted to microhardness test (VHN), flexural and compressive strength (in MPa), elastic modulus (GPa), DC (FT-IR) and in vitro cytotoxicity (against 3T3 fibroblastic cells) of the experimental resins. Data were subjected to two-way ANOVA and Tukey post-test (α=0.05). The experimental composite resin with BZN showed higher DC values compared to control DMAEMA groups. For the mechanical properties, microhardness values were higher in BZN groups; flexural strength and elastic modulus were similar between all the groups. Compressive strength for groups BZN0.5 and DMAEMA0.5 were not statistically different, being the lowest values attributed to group BZN0.2. The experimental resins with BZN and DMAEMA were considered nontoxic against 3T3 fibroblasts. The inclusion of the coinitiator BZN in experimental composites was considered nontoxic against 3T3 fibroblast cells, without compromising DC and mechanical properties.


Resumo Analisar o efeito do co-iniciador alternativo 4,4'bisdimetilaminobenzidrol (BZN) no grau de conversão (GC) e nas propriedades mecânicas e biológicas de resinas compostas experimentais. O co-iniciador BZN foi utilizado em três concentrações (0,2, 0,5 e 1,2), e o co-iniciador DMAEMA como controle, nas mesmas concentrações acima. A concentração molar entre canforoquinona (CQ) e os co-iniciadores foi mantida constante (1:1). As resinas compostas foram manipuladas e submetidas aos testes de microdureza (VHN), resistência à compressão e flexural (em MPa), módulo de elasticidade (em GPa), GC (em %, por meio de espectroscopia micro-Raman e FTIR com KBr), citotoxicidade in vitro (frente às células fibroblásticas 3T3) das resinas experimentais. Os resultados foram submetidos ao teste ANOVA 1 fator e pós-teste de Tukey (α=0,05). As resinas compostas experimentais com o BZN apresentaram GC e propriedades mecânicas satisfatórias, além de serem consideradas atóxicas a fibroblastos 3T3. A inclusão do co-iniciador BZN à resina composta foi considerada não tóxica frente a células fibroblásticas 3T3 e sem comprometer o grau de conversão e as propriedades mecânicas da mesma.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A candidose oral é uma infecção fúngica que se manifesta frequentemente em pacientes imunocomprometidos ou naqueles que fazem uso de prótese dental removível, associada a hábitos de higiene deficitários. Antifúngicos sintéticos, a exemplo do fluconazol, são utilizados no tratamento desta infecção; entretanto algumas cepas apresentam resistência a estes fármacos. Objetivo: Este estudo avaliou o efeito antifúngico dos óleos essenciais de Persea americana (abacate), Cinnamomumzeylanicum (canela ­ folha), Cinnamomumcassia (canela ­ casca) e Cymbopogonwinterianus (citronela), frente à Candidaglabrata. Material e Métodos: O screening da atividade antifúngica dos óleos foi determinado por difusão em meio sólido, utilizando um inóculofúngico ajustado em 1 × 106 UFC/mL. A Concentração Inibitória Mínima (CIM) foi determinada pela técnica da microdiluição. Os óleos essenciais foram avaliados em concentrações entre 1000 µg/mL e 7,81 µg/mL, enquanto que os fármacos Fluconazol e Nistatina foram avaliados nas concentrações que entre 64 µg/mL e 0,5 µg/mL.

A CIM dos fármacos utilizados como controle foram estabelecidasem 16 µg/mL(fluconazol) e 2,0 µg/mL(nistatina). O óleo essencial de P. americana não apresentou atividade antifúngica nas concentrações avaliadas. Conclusão: Conclui-se que os óleos essenciais de canela (casca e folha) e citronela apresentaram atividade antifúngica frente a cepa de C. glabrataresistente a fluconazol. (AU)


Introduction: Oral candidiasis is a fungal infection diagnosed mainly in patients with immunosuppression or in denture wearers with deficient hygiene habits. Synthetic antifungal agents, such as fluconazole, have been used to treat this infection, but some strains are resistant to these drugs. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal effect of the essential oils from Persia americana (avocado), Cinnamomum zeylanicum (cinnamon - leaf), Cinnamomum cassia (cinnamon - bark) and Cymbopogon winterianus (citronella) against Candida glabrata. Materials and Methods: The essential oils were screened for their antifungal activity using the solid medium diffusion method, with fungal inoculum adjusted to 1 x 106 CFU/mL. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was determined by the microdilution technique. The essential oils were evaluated at concentrations ranging between 1,000 µg/mL and 7.81 µg/mL, while fluconazole and nystatin were evaluated at concentrations between 64 µg/mL and 0.5 µg/ mL. Results: The zones of inhibition measured varied between 8.2 and 9.2 mm diameter for C. winterianus and C. cassia, respectively. The essential oils from C. winterianusand and C. zeylanicum had MIC of 125 µg/ml, while C. cassia essential oil had MIC of 62.5 µg/ml. The drugs used as controls showed MIC values of 16 µg/mL (fluconazole) and 2.0 µg/mL (nystatin). P. americana essential oil showed no antifungal activity at the concentrations evaluated. Conclusion: We conclude that the essential oils from cinnamon (bark and leaf) and citronella showed antifungal activity against fluconazole-resistant C. glabrata. (AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective Halitosis can be caused by microorganisms that produce volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs), which colonize the surface of the tongue and subgingival sites. Studies have reported that the use of natural products can reduce the bacterial load and, consequently, the development of halitosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia on the growth and volatile sulphur compound (VSC) production of oral bacteria compared with chlorhexidine. Material and Methods The effects of these substances were evaluated by the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) in planktonic cultures of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Porphyromonas endodontalis. In addition, gas chromatography analyses were performed to measure the concentration of VSCs from bacterial cultures and to characterize M. alternifolia oil components. Results The MIC and MBC values were as follows: M. alternifolia - P. gingivalis (MIC and MBC=0.007%), P. endodontalis (MIC and MBC=0.007%=0.5%); chlorhexidine - P. gingivalis and P. endodontalis (MIC and MBC=1.5 mg/mL). M. alternifolia significantly reduced the growth and production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) by P. gingivalis (p<0.05, ANOVA-Dunnet) and the H2S and methyl mercaptan (CH3SH) levels of P. endodontalis (p<0.05, ANOVA-Dunnet). Chlorhexidine reduced the growth of both microorganisms without altering the production of VSC in P. endodontalis. For P. gingivalis, the production of H2S and CH3SH decreased (p<0.05, ANOVA-Dunnet). Conclusion M. alternifolia can reduce bacterial growth and VSCs production and could be used as an alternative to chlorhexidine.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:Luffa operculata is probably one of the most popular herbal medicines used in the treatment of rhinitis and rhinosinusitis. However, its specific mechanism of action is still unknown.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate in vitro antibacterial activity of L. operculata against three ordinary agents of upper respiratory tract infection: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes.METHODS: Different concentrations of L. operculata alcoholic extract were applied to bacterial broth containing reference and community strains of the three described agents. After a 24-h incubation period, the bacterial culture turbidity was measured. The samples were then inoculated onto Mueller-Hinton and human blood agar plates. Bacterial growth was analyzed after 24- and 48-h incubation period. The test was considered negative when there was no environmental turbidity, confirmed by the absence of bacterial growth into the inoculated plates. Tests were considered positive when either turbidity changes were observed on the bacterial broth or when bacterial growth was detected on inoculated plates. Appropriate statistical analysis of the data was performed.RESULTS:L. operculata extracts showed antibacterial activity mainly to S. pyogenes followed by S. pneumoniae and S. aureus.CONCLUSIONS:L. operculata extract showed promising antibacterial activity in vitro against the studied agents.

ABSTRACT

O tratamento endodôntico de dentes decíduos é de suma importância para que se possa preservar a dentição primária e, assim, promoverdesenvolvimento craniofacial adequado, oclusão normal e qualidades estéticas. No entanto, para que isso ocorra, é necessário o uso de pastasobturadoras com propriedades biológicas importantes para a preservação do dente. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar in vitro a atividadeantimicrobiana de duas pastas obturadoras utilizadas em dentes decíduos, Vitapex® e Calcipex®, em espécies microbianas comumenteencontradas em infecções endodônticas (Candida albicans, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis, Escherichiacoli e Staphylococcus aureus), utilizando o teste de difusão em ágar. Foram utilizadas placas de BHI (Brain Heart Infusion) e confeccionadosquatro pontos equidistantes, imediatamente preenchidos com o Vitapex® cimentos e Calcipex®. O gluconato de clorexidina a 1% (CHX) e águadestilada foram utilizados como controle positivo e negativo, respectivamente. Após a incubação das placas a 37 °C durante 24 h, o diâmetrodas zonas de inibição do crescimento bacteriano ao redor dos poços foi medido (em milímetros) com um compasso de calibre digital com luzrefletida. Este teste foi realizado em triplicata e os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e teste de Tukey (? = 0,05). Ambas as pastastiveram atividade antimicrobiana, mas Calcipex® foi mais eficiente para a maioria das cepas. O halo formado nos experimentos contendoas cepas de S. mutans e S. sanguinis foi semelhante para ambas as pastas. No presente estudo, podemos sugerir que Calcipex® apresentou amelhor propriedade antimicrobiana em relação aos microrganismos estudados.

ABSTRACT

A planta Plectranthus ornatus Codd é originária dos países do Mediterrâneo e Oriente Próximo. Na medicina popular é indicada para males do fígado e problemas de digestão. É utilizada no tratamento para o controle da gastrite, na dispepsia, azia, mal-estar gástrico e ressaca. Este trabalho objetiva a avaliação antimicrobiana do extrato de P. ornatus, utilizando-se 15 microrganismos padronizados. Os testes antimicrobianos foram realizados em ágar Mueller Hinton pela técnica de poços. Foram utilizados os testes de microdiluição em caldo, para a determinação da concentração inibitória mínima (CIM) e semeadura, em placas contendo ágar Mueller Hinton para a concentração microbicida mínima (CMM). Os testes de microdiluição em caldo demonstraram que o extrato nas concentrações de 20,31; 325 e 650 mg/mL inibiu o crescimento bacterianode Bacillus cereus, Streptococcus pyogenes e Enterococcus faecalis, respectivamente. Para o fungo Saccharomyces cerevisiae os testes de microdiluição demonstraram inibi- ção do crescimento na concentração de 1.300 mg/mL. Para as demais cepas testadas, o extrato não demonstrou atividade. Em decorrência da crescente resistência múltipla microbiana aos antibióticos, pesquisas para o desenvolvimento de novos medicamentosque sejam economicamente viáveis e com margem de segurança efetiva têm ganhado espaço na comunidade científica.


Plectranthus ornatus Codd is a plant from Mediterranean and Near East countries. It is indicated for liver illnesses and digestion problems in popular medicine. It is used in the treatment for the control of gastritis, dyspepsia, heartburn, gastric discomfort, and hangover. This study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity in extracts of P. ornatus using 15 standardized micro-organisms. Antimicrobial tests were performed on Mueller Hinton agar through the technique of wells. Broth microdilution tests were used for the determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and seeding on plates containing Mueller Hinton agar for the determination of the minimum microbicide concentration (MMC). The broth microdilution tests demonstrated that the extract inhibited the growth of Bacillus cereus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Enterococcus faecalis at the concentrations of 20.31, 325, and 650 mg/mL, respectively. The microdilution tests showed growth inhibition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae at a concentration of 1,300 mg/mL. The extract did not show inhibitory activity on the other tested strains. As a result of increased multiple resistances to antibiotics,microbial research in the development of new drugs that are economically viable and offer an effective safety margin have won space in the scientific community.
