ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Analisar a dosimetria do laser de baixa intensidade no processo de cicatrização de úlcera venosa. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um protocolo de revisão sistemática registrado no International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) sob código de registro CRD420211256286. Serão realizadas buscas por evidências científicas em 11 bases de dados, utilizando os idiomas português, inglês e espanhol. A exportação das publicações seguirá as etapas de identificação e seleção dos estudos, e extração dos dados. As divergências serão resolvidas por consenso dos dois revisores, e caso persistam, um terceiro revisor será consultado para decidir sobre a inclusão do material. A ferramenta Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) será utilizada para avaliar o risco de viés dos estudos dos ensaios clínicos randomizados, ao passo que a ferramenta Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) será utilizada para avaliar o risco de viés dos ensaios clínicos não randomizados. A análise crítica dos materiais selecionados quanto à dosimetria do laser de baixa intensidade para cicatrização de úlcera venosa resultará em uma síntese narrativa, sem metanálise.


OBJECTIVE: To analyze the dosimetry of low-level laser therapy in the healing process of venous ulcers. METHOD: This is a protocol for systematic review registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews under registry code CRD420211256286. Articles will be searched in 11 databases using Portuguese, English, and Spanish languages. The export of publications will follow the steps of study identification, selection, and data extraction. Disagreements will be resolved by consensus among reviewers; if they persist, a third reviewer will be consulted to decide whether to include the material. The Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) tool will be used to assess the validity of randomized clinical trials, while the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool will be used to assess the risk of bias in non-randomized clinical trials. The critical analysis of selected materials on dosimetry of low-level laser therapy for venous ulcer healing will result in a narrative synthesis without meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To evaluate collagen fibers during the bone repair process in critical defects created in the tibias of rats, treated with zoledronic acid (AZ) associated with low-level laser therapy (LLLT). Methods: Ten rats were distributed according to treatment: group 1) saline solution; group 2) LLLT; group 3) AZ; group 4) AZ and LLLT. AZ was administered at the dose of 0.035 mg/kg at fortnightly intervals over eight weeks. Next, 2-mm bone defects were created in the tibias of all animals. The bone defects in groups 2 and 4 were irradiated LLLT in the immediate postoperative period. After periods 14 and 28 of application, the animals were euthanized, and birefringence analysis was performed. Results: Approximately 90% of the total area was occupied by collagen fibers within the red color spectrum, this area being statistically larger in relation to the area occupied by collagen fibers within the green and yellow spectrum, in the four groups. Over the 14-day period, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups. In the 28-day period, group 2 (14.02 ± 15.9%) was superior in quantifying green birefringent fibers compared to group 1 (3.06 ± 3.24%), with p = 0.009. Conclusions: LLLT associated with ZA is effective in stimulating the neoformation of collagen fibers. The LLLT group without the association with ZA showed a greater amount of immature and less organized matrix over a period of 28 days.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To evaluate morphological aspects and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene and protein expression in a model of acute inflammation. Methods: Thirty-six female Wistar rats were assigned into three groups: control (saline, n = 12), sham (arthritis, n = 12), and PBM (arthritis and photobiomodulation, n = 12). Arthritis induction was performed with 200 µg of intra-articular Zymosan in sham and PBM animals. PBM was performed 24 h after induction with a laser device (λ = 808 nm, 25 mW of nominal power, fluence of 20 J/cm2, beam area of 0.02 mm2, time of 33 s, total energy of 0.825 J) with punctual and single dose application. Morphological analysis of joint structure (HE) and immunohistochemistry (anti-iNOS antibody) were performed on knee samples, and synovial tissue was submitted to RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis and gene expression analysis by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Statistical analyses were performed with p < 0.05. Results: It was observed an increase in the thickness of the synovial lining epithelium and inflammatory infiltrate in sham compared to PBM. Gene expression analysis showed higher iNOS expression in PBM, and iNOS protein expression decreased in PBM compared to sham. Conclusions: Photobiomodulation decreased inflammation in PBM animals, upregulated iNOS gene expression, however down egulated protein expression compared to sham.

ABSTRACT

Lip necrotizing lesions are painful, complex to heal, and negatively impact the patient's orofacial condition. The present study reports a clinical case of a necrotizing lesion on the lower lip in a 38-year-old male patient, previously healthy, five days after receiving the first dose of the SARS-COV-2 vaccine, with an initial diagnosis of labial herpes zoster, with secondary infection and unsatisfactory response to clinical treatment. After debridement of the necrotic tissue, followed by a combination of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) and hydrofiber dressing with silver, the patient evolved with complete healing of the lip lesion and satisfactory restoration of orofacial functions after 7 days. According to the present case report, this combination of phototherapy modalities suggests to be a promising tool for the treatment of necrotizing labial lesions.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To measure the costs of preventive and therapeutic protocols of Photobiomodulation (PBM) for oral mucositis (OM) and their budgetary impact on Brazil's Ministry of Health (BMH). Material and Methods: A partial economic analysis was performed to estimate the costs using a bottom-up approach from a social perspective. Monetary values were assigned in Brazilian reais (BRL). The costs of the preventive protocol were calculated for five, 30, and 33 consecutive PBM sessions, depending on the antineoplastic treatment instituted. The costs of the therapeutic protocol were calculated for 5 or 10 sessions. The annual financial and budgetary impact was calculated considering the groups of oncologic patients with a higher risk of development of OM, such as those with head and neck and hematological cancer and pediatric patients. Results: The cost of a PBM session was estimated at BRL 23.75. The financial impact of providing one preventive protocol per year for all oncologic patients would be BRL 14,282,680.00, 0.030% of the estimated budget for hospital and outpatient care of the BMH in 2022. The financial and budgetary impacts of providing one treatment for OM for all patients in one year would be BRL 2,225,630.31 (0.005%, most optimistic scenario) and BRL 4,451,355.63 (0.009%, most pessimistic scenario). Conclusion: The budgetary impact of implementing PBM protocols in the Brazilian Healthcare System is small, even in a pessimistic scenario.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: to evaluate the effect of photobiomodulation with low-level 660 nm laser alone or associated with Human Amniotic Membrane in the repair of partial-thickness burns in rats. Method: an experimental study conducted with 48 male Wistar rats, randomized into four groups: Control, Human Amniotic Membrane, Low-Level Laser Therapy, and Low-Level Laser Therapy associated with Human Amniotic Membrane. The histopathological characteristics of the skin samples were analyzed 7 and 14 days after the burn. The data obtained were submitted to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: the histological analysis of the burn injuries showed a decrease in inflammation (p<0.0001) and an increase in proliferation of fibroblasts (p<0.0001) mainly at 7 days in all treatments related to the control group. At 14 days, the greater effectiveness in accelerating the healing process was significant (p<0.0001) in the Low-Level Laser Therapy group associated with the Human Amniotic Membrane. Conclusion: the association of photobiomodulation therapies with the Human Amniotic Membrane allowed verifying a reduction in the healing process time of the experimental lesions, stimulating its proposal as a treatment protocol in partial-thickness burns.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Analisar os efeitos do laser de baixa potência na intervenção às lesões decorrentes da Leishmaniose Cutânea. MÉTODO: Trata-se de um estudo quase-experimental, duplo-cego e randomizado realizado em um centro de referência do Norte de Minas Gerais. Foram alocados aleatoriamente 07 pacientes que foram submetidos ao tratamento endovenoso e curativos locais da leishmaniose cutânea, a saber: 03 no grupo controle, onde fizeram uso do tratamento convencional, e 04 no grupo experimental, que foram submetidos a aplicação da laserterapia de baixa potência, além da terapêutica habitual. Foi avaliado como desfecho primário a redução do tamanho das lesões, por meio da adaptação da ferramenta Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing. A análise dos dados foi conduzida por meio de uma estatística comparativa pareada com teste T. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos controle e experimental. CONCLUSÃO: A laserterapia de baixa potência não parece favorecer a cicatrização das lesões por leishmaniose cutânea.


OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of low-level laser therapy in treating lesions resulting from cutaneous leishmaniasis. METHODS: This is a double-blind, randomized, quasi-experimental study conducted at a reference center in the northern region of Minas Gerais. Seven patients were randomly assigned to receive intravenous and local wound care for cutaneous leishmaniasis. Specifically, three patients were assigned to the control group and received conventional treatment, while four patients were assigned to the experimental group and received low-level laser therapy plus standard therapeutic measures. The primary outcome measure was the reduction in lesion size as assessed by the adapted Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing. Paired comparison statistics using the t-test were used for data analysis. RESULTS: No significant difference was observed between the control and experimental groups. CONCLUSION: Low-level laser therapy does not appear to improve the healing of cutaneous leishmaniasis lesions.

ABSTRACT

A regeneração óssea é um processo importante para oferecer tratamentos reconstrutivos mais rápidos e eficientes, no entanto, limitações técnicas continuam sendo um desafio, assim como a velocidade de formação e maturação óssea. Portanto, as pesquisas têm se voltado para técnicas alternativas na regeneração óssea e atualmente, a engenharia tecidual tem estudado o uso de células tronco para tratamento de perdas ósseas. A eficácia e a taxa de sucesso das diferentes técnicas e scaffolds foram avaliadas. Porém, há pouca informação sobre a eficácia combinada de carreadores xenógenos, células tronco de dentes decíduos esfoliados humano (SHEDs) e a terapia de fotobiomodulação (PBMT) na regeneração de defeitos ósseos. Baseado em estudos prévios, a proposta deste estudo foi avaliar, in vitro, a ação da PBMT, uma técnica com propriedades imunomodulatórias, angiogênicas e com capacidade de aumentar a adesão, proliferação e migração celular ao biomaterial tridimensional de osso bovino mineralizado desproteinizado com colágeno suíno a 10% (OBMDC), semeado com SHEDs, para acelerar e aumentar a taxa de formação óssea. Foi utilizado o laser de diodo, com comprimento de onda de 660nm; 40mW de potência; 3J/cm2 de densidade de energia e 2 segundos de tempo de aplicação após 24h e 72h do plaqueamento. Para avaliar a proliferação, as SHEDs foram descongeladas cultivadas, plaqueadas, semeadas no scaffold de OBMDC e divididas em 8 grupos: 1) Controle 15%; 2) Controle 5%; 3) OBMDC 15%; 4) OBMDC 5%; 5) Laser 15%; 6) Laser 5%; 7) OBMDC-L 15%; 8) OBMDC-L 5% e a análise de proliferação foi realizada por MTT. Para avaliar diferenciação celular, as amostras foram divididas em quatro grupos: 1) Grupo Controle clonogênico: SHEDs cultivadas em meio clonogênico; 2) Grupo Controle mineralizante: SHEDs cultivadas em meio mineralizante; 3) Grupo laser clonogênico: SHEDs cultivadas em meio clonogênico com aplicação de laser; 4) Grupo laser mineralizante: SHEDs cultivada em meio mineralizante com aplicação de laser. Para o grupo laser, as células foram irradiadas no período de 24h e 72h após o plaqueamento e todas as amostras fixadas para análise da formação dos depósitos de cálcio, através do ensaio de vermelho de alizarina após 23 dias de cultivo celular e os dados foram tratados estatisticamente (p0,05). Para avaliar a morfologia celular das SHEDs em todos os grupos, utilizou-se o microscópio invertido de fase em 24h e 72h após o plaqueamento. O grupo OBMDC-L 5% SFB em 72h, demonstrou maior proliferação celular que o grupo Controle (p=0.0286). O grupo laser no meio mineralizante apresentou maior formação de depósito de matriz mineralizada em comparação ao grupo controle em meio clonogênico, controle em meio mineralizante e laser em meio clonogênico (p<0,0001). Considerando as condições experimentais deste estudo, concluiu-se que, in vitro, as SHEDs, semeadas em scaffold OBMDC, proliferaram mais após 2 aplicações de PBMT e houve diferenciação osteogênica das células após 23 dias em meio mineralizante.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo:Analisar as evidências disponíveis na literatura acerca da utilização da fotobiomodulação no tratamento de intercorrências mamárias pós-parto. Método: Revisão integrativa dos manuscritos nas bases de dados National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PubMed), Web of Science, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), EMBASE e Scopus. Foram incluídos artigos originais redigidos em português e inglês, analisados de acordo com o nível de evidência e qualidade metodológica. Resultados: A amostra constituiu-se de cinco artigos. Com base na análise dos resultados, foram elaboradas três categorias temáticas: tipos de fotobiomodulador utilizados nas intercorrências mamárias, efeitos do fotobiomodulador na cicatrização das intercorrências mamárias e efeitos do fotobiomodulador na redução da dor mamilar. Tanto o fotobiomodulador de light-emitting diode (LED) quanto o de laser foram eficazes no tratamento dos traumas mamilares, pois a aplicação proporcionou aceleração do processo cicatricial. A terapia com laser de baixa intensidade foi considerada eficaz para tratar lesões mamilares em lactantes com dor, oferecendo alívio e prolongando o aleitamento materno exclusivo. O protocolo de laser de uma única aplicação não foi eficaz na redução da dor em mulheres com mamilos danificados. Conclusão: Este estudo buscou mitigar as lacunas existentes entre assistência e pesquisa em enfermagem, uma vez que contribui para o cuidado pautado na prática baseada em evidências.


Objective:To analyze the evidence available in the literature about the use of photobiomodulation in the treatment of breast complications in the postpartum. Method: Integrative review of manuscripts in National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PubMed), Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), EMBASE, and Scopus databases. Original articles written in Portuguese and English were included, analyzed according to the level of evidence and methodological quality. Results: The sample consisted of five articles. Based on the analysis of the results, three thematic categories were created: types of photobiomodulator used in breast complications, effects of photobiomodulators on healing of breast complications, and effects of photobiomodulators on reducing nipple pain. Both light-emitting diode (LED) and laser photobiomodulators were effective in the treatment of nipple trauma, as the application accelerated the healing process. Low-intensity laser therapy was found to be effective in treating nipple injuries in nursing mothers with pain, providing relief and prolonging exclusive breastfeeding. The single application laser protocol was not effective in reducing pain in women with damaged nipples. Conclusion: This study is an effort to mitigate existing gaps between nursing assistance and research, as it contributes to care based on evidence-based practice

Se incluyeron artículos originales escritos en portugués e inglés, analizados según nivel de evidencia y calidad metodológica. Resultados: la muestra estuvo compuesta por cinco artículos. Con base en el análisis de los resultados, se crearon tres categorías temáticas: tipos de fotobiomoduladores utilizados en las complicaciones mamarias, efectos de los fotobiomoduladores en la curación de las complicaciones mamarias y efectos de los fotobiomoduladores en la reducción del dolor en los pezones. Tanto el fotobiomodulador LED como el LÁSER resultaron efectivos en el tratamiento del trauma del pezón, ya que su aplicación aceleró el proceso de cicatrización. Se descubrió que la terapia con láser de baja intensidad es eficaz en el tratamiento de lesiones en los pezones en bebés con dolor, proporcionando alivio y prolongando la lactancia materna exclusiva. El protocolo LASER de aplicación única no fue efectivo para reducir el dolor en mujeres con pezones dañados. Conclusión: Este estudio buscó mitigar las brechas existentes entre el cuidado de enfermería y la investigación, ya que contribuye al cuidado basado en la práctica basada en la evidencias.

ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of this experimental study was to determine the effect of photobiomodulation therapy on bone repair in a rat tibia osteotomy model at 15 and 30 days. The sample consisted of 36 male Holtzman rats that were randomized into 6 equal groups. Groups A1 and A2: osteotomy + 1 J laser energy. Groups B1 and B2: osteotomy + 3 J laser energy. Groups C1 and C2 (controls): osteotomy only. The bone repair was analyzed by histological evaluation of osteoblasts and osteocytes both at 15 days (groups A1, B1, and C1) and at 30 days (groups A2, B2, and C2). Within the results, in all groups a greater number of osteoblasts was found at 15 days vs 30 days (p<0.05), and a greater number of osteocytes in B1 and C2 vs B2 and C1, respectively (p<0.05). When evaluating the 3 groups worked up to 15 days, more osteoblasts were found in A1 and C1 vs B1 (p<0.001); and osteocytes predominated in A1 and B1 vs C1 (p<0.001). At 30 days there was a greater quantity of osteoblasts in C2 vs A2 and B2 (p<0.05) and of osteocytes in C2 vs B2 (p<0.05). It is concluded that 1 J photobiomodulation therapy improved bone repair at 15 days; however, this improvement was not observed at 30 days because there were no differences between the irradiated groups and the control.


Resumen El objetivo de este estudio experimental fue determinar el efecto de terapia de fotobiomodulación sobre la reparación ósea en un modelo de osteotomía de tibia de rata a los 15 y 30 días. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 36 ratas Holtzman macho que se aleatorizaron en 6 grupos iguales. Grupos A1 y A2: osteotomía + energía láser de 1 Joule. Grupos B1 y B2: osteotomía + energía láser 3 Joule. Grupos C1 y C2 (controles): solo osteotomía. La reparación ósea fue analizada por evaluación histológica de osteoblastos y osteocitos tanto a los 15 días (grupos A1, B1 y C1) como a los 30 días (grupos A2, B2 y C2). Como resultados se encontró que en todos los grupos hubo mayor número de osteoblastos a los 15 días vs. 30 días (p<0,05), y mayor número de osteocitos en B1 y C2 vs B2 y C1, respectivamente (p<0,05). Al evaluar a los animales a los 15 días, se observó mayor número de osteoblastos en A1 y C1 vs B1 (p<0.001); y mayor número de osteocitos en A1 y B1 vs C1 (p<0,001). Al evaluar a los ratones a los 30 días hubo mayor cantidad de osteoblastos en C2 vs A2 y B2 (p<0,05) y de osteocitos en C2 vs B2 (p<0,05). Se concluye que la terapia de fotobiomodulación con 1 Joule mejoró la reparación ósea a los 15 días; sin embargo, dicha mejora no se observó a los 30 días porque no hubo diferencias entre los grupos irradiados y el control.

ABSTRACT

As úlceras traumáticas representam uma condição benigna e recorrente que acomete a cavidade oral, com variação de tamanho e dimensão. Existem inúmeras terapias que podem ser empregadas com o objetivo de promover analgesia e(ou) reparo tecidual. A fotobiomodulação laser (FBML) tem adquirido espaço no manejo dessas lesões, por se tratar de um dispositivo minimamente invasivo e bem tolerado pelo organismo, além de atuar na bioestimulação, o que confere efeito analgésico, anti-inflamatório e cicatricial. Dessa maneira, o estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a aplicação terapêutica da FBML em úlceras traumáticas na cavidade oral. Tratou-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com base na pesquisa de artigos científicos dos últimos nove anos, realizada nas plataformas LILACS, BVS, SciELO, PubMed, e Google Acadêmico, utilizando o cruzamento de Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS) e empregando o uso dos operador booleano "AND". De forma adicional, a busca livre foi realizada com vistas à complementação da fundamentação teórica. Um total de sete artigos foram incluídos na presente revisão integrativa, o que incluiu estudos em humanos e em modelo animal. Todos os estudos incluídos apresentaram resultados positivos com a utilização da FBML, que demonstrou efeito benéfico através de uma ou duas sessões, com indução do processo de cicatrização, melhora da sintomatologia dolorosa e da inflamação. A FBML foi capaz de melhorar o quadro clínico e histológico das úlceras traumáticas em cavidade oral, através da modulação da percepção da dor e da inflamação, aceleração da cicatrização e consequente regressão das lesões.


Traumatic ulcers represent a benign and recurrent condition that affects the oral cavity, varying in size and dimension. There are numerous therapies that can be used to promote analgesia and/or tissue repair. Laser photobiomodulation (FBML) has gained space in the management of these lesions, as it is a minimally invasive device that is well tolerated by the body, in addition to acting in biostimulation, which confers analgesic, anti-inflammatory and healing effects. Thus, the study aims to evaluate the therapeutic application of FBML in traumatic ulcers in the oral cavity. This was an integrative literature review, based on the research of scientific articles from the last nine years, carried out on the LILACS, BVS, SciELO, PubMed, and Google Scholar platforms, using the intersection of Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) and employing the use of the Boolean operator "AND". Additionally, the free search was carried out with a view to complementing the theoretical foundation. A total of seven articles were included in this integrative review, which included studies in humans and in an animal model. All included studies showed positive results with the use of FBML, which demonstrated a beneficial effect through one or two sessions, inducing the healing process, improving pain symptoms and inflammation. FBML was able to improve the clinical and histological picture of traumatic ulcers in the oral cavity, by modulating the perception of pain and inflammation, accelerating healing and consequent regression of the lesions.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El dolor es el síntoma más común luego de la primera activación de la aparatología ortodóncica. El tratamiento analgésico más utilizado es el paracetamol; sin embargo, su uso inhibe la actividad de la ciclooxigenasa y la síntesis de prostaglandinas, lo que puede afectar el mecanismo del movimiento dental y el remodelado óseo. Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad del láser de baja potencia para el alivio del dolor en pacientes con tratamiento ortodóntico. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio cuasiexperimental de intervención terapéutica, desde enero hasta diciembre de 2020, en 40 pacientes atendidos en la consulta de ortodoncia del Hospital General Docente Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso de Santiago de Cuba, en quienes se aplicaría fuerza ortodóncica por primera vez. Estos fueron distribuidos de forma aleatoria en 2 grupos de 20 integrantes cada uno: el de estudio, tratado con láser de baja potencia, y el de control, que recibió medicación convencional (paracetamol). Para la validación estadística de la información se emplearon el porcentaje y la prueba de la t de Student para muestras independientes, con 95 % de confiabilidad. Resultados: Luego de tres sesiones terapéuticas, 90,0 % del grupo de estudio refirió no presentar dolor o sentirlo de forma leve, mientras que del grupo de control solo 10,0 % de los pacientes fue ubicado en cualquiera de las dos categorías anteriores. Existió diferencia significativa entre ambos grupos (p=0,00). Conclusiones: Se demostró que el láser, como terapia alternativa, fue más efectivo que el paracetamol.


Introduction: Pain is the most common symptom after the first activation of orthodontic appliance. The most widely used analgesic treatment is paracetamol; however, its use inhibits cyclooxygenase activity and prostaglandin synthesis, which can affect the mechanism of tooth movement and bone remodeling. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of low power laser for pain relief in patients with orthodontic treatment. Methods: A quasi-experimental study of therapeutic intervention was carried out, from January to December 2020, in 40 patients treated at the orthodontic clinic of Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, in whom orthodontic force was applied for the first time. These were randomly distributed into 2 groups of 20 members each: the study group, treated with low-power laser, and the control group, that received conventional medication (paracetamol). For statistical validation of data, the percentage and the Student's t test for independent samples were used, with 95 % confidence interval. Results: After three therapeutic sessions, 90.0% of the study group reported not presenting pain or feeling it slightly, while only 10.0% of patients in control group were put in any of the two previous categories. There was a significant difference between both groups (p=0.00). Conclusions: Laser, as an alternative therapy, was shown to be more effective than paracetamol.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the morphology, proliferation, and differentiation of gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) irradiated with a 970 nm Diode Laser (LLLT). It is essential to validate the efficacy of treatment, optimize irradiation conditions and guarantee the safety and quality of stem cells for future use in dental applications. Materials and Methods: GMSCs were cultured in standard conditions and irradiated with a Diode laser (970 nm, 0.5W) with an energy density of 9J/cm2. Cell proliferation was assessed with the WST-1 proliferation kit. GMSCs were differentiated into chondrogenic and osteogenic lineages. Cell morphology was performed with Hematoxylin/eosin staining, and quantitative nuclear analysis was done. Cell viability was monitored with trypan blue testing. Results: GMSCs subjected to irradiation demonstrated a significant increase in proliferation at 72 hours compared to the non-irradiated controls (p=0.027). This indicates that the 970 nm diode laser has a stimulatory effect on the proliferation of GMSCs. LLLT-stimulated GMSCs exhibited the ability to differentiate into chondrogenic and osteogenic lineages. A substantial decrease in cell viability was observed 24 hours after irradiation (p=0.024). However, after 48 hours, the cell viability recovered without any significant differences. This indicates that there might be a temporary negative impact on cell viability immediately following irradiation, but the cells were able to recover and regain their viability over time. Conclusions: This study support that irradiation with a 970 nm diode laser could stimulate the proliferation of GMSCs, maintain their ability to differentiate into chondrogenic and osteogenic lineages, and has minimal impact on the mor- phological characteristics of the cells. These results support the potential use of NIR Lasers in combination with GMSCs as a promising strategy for dental treatments.


Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la morfología, proliferación y diferenciación de las células madre mesenquimatosas (GMSC) irradiadas con un láser de diodo de 970 nm (LLLT). Es fundamental validar la eficacia del tratamiento, optimizar las condiciones de irradiación y garantizar la seguridad y calidad de las células madre para su uso futuro en aplicaciones dentales.Materiales y Métodos: Las GMSC se cultivaron en condiciones estándar y se irradiaron con un láser de diodo (970 nm, 0,5 W) con una densidad de energía de 9 J/cm2. La proliferación celular se evaluó con el kit de proliferación WST-1. Las GMSC se diferenciaron en linajes condrogénicos y osteogénicos. La morfología celular se realizó con tinción de hematoxilina/eosina y se realizó un análisis nuclear cuantitativo. La viabilidad celular se controló con prueba de azul de tripano. Resultados: Las GMSC sometidas a irradiación demostraron un aumento significativo en la proliferación a las 72 horas en comparación con los controles no irradiados (p=0,027). Esto indica que el láser de diodo de 970 nm tiene un efecto estimulante sobre la proliferación de GMSC. Las GMSC estimuladas con LLLT exhibieron la capacidad de diferenciarse en linajes condrogénicos y osteogénicos. Se observó una disminución sustancial de la viabilidad celular 24 horas después de la irradiación (p=0,024). Sin embargo, después de 48 horas, la viabilidad celular se recuperó sin diferencias significativas. Esto indica que podría haber un impacto negativo temporal en la viabilidad de las células inmediatamente después de la irradiación, pero las células pudieron recuperarse y recuperar su viabilidad con el tiempo. Conclusión: En conclusión, este estudio respalda que la irradiación con un láser de diodo de 970 nm podría estimular la proliferación de GMSC, mantener su capacidad para diferenciarse en linajes condrogénicos y osteogénicos y tiene un impacto mínimo en las características morfológicas de las células. Estos resultados respaldan el uso potencial de láseres NIR en combinación con GMSC como una estrategia prometedora para tratamientos dentales.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Analisar a eficácia do laser de baixa potência, modalidade local e sistêmico, para cicatrização e redução da dor ocasionadas por lesões mamilares. Métodos: Ensaio clínico, randomizado e controlado realizado com 54 lactantes atendidas em um Banco de Leite Humano, de dezembro de 2017 a junho de 2018. As lactantes, que somaram um total 101 lesões, receberam orientações referentes ao manejo clínico das mamas e foram alocadas em: Grupo Controle (GC), Grupo Laser Local (GLL), que receberam laser diretamente no mamilo lesionado e Grupo Irradiation Laser Intravascular of Blood (GILIB), que receberam a laserterapia sistêmica. Os dados foram analisados no SPSS para avaliação da homogeneidade dos grupos (Kruskal-Wallis) e regressão linear para identificação do efeito da intervenção no tamanho das lesões mamárias e intensidade da dor. Resultados: Os três grupos de análise se mostaram homogêneos antes do experimento (p=0,191). Após a intervenção, houve cicatrização das lesões nos três grupos, sendo significativamente maior no GLL e GILIB (p<0,050). Quanto à dor, houve redução em até 4.0 pontos no GLL e GILIB (p=0,002). Conclusão: A administração da laserterapia local e sistêmica foi mais eficaz para a cicatrização das lesões mamilares e redução da dor, quando comparadas ao grupo controle. (AU)


Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of the low-potency laser, local and systemic, for the healing and reduction of pain caused by nipple trauma. Methods: Clinical, randomized and controlled trial carried out with 54 lactating women assisted in a Human Milk Bank, from December 2017 to June 2018. The lactating women, which totaled 101 lesions, received guidance on the clinical management of their breasts and breasts designated in: Control Group (CG), Local Laser Group (GLL), which received laser directly on the injured nipple, and Intravascular Blood Laser Irradiation Group (GILIB), which received systemic laser therapy. Data were analyzed using the SPSS to assess the homogeneity of the groups (Kruskal-Wallis) and the linear regression to identify the effect of the intervention on the size of breast lesions and the intensity of pain. Results: The three analysis groups were homogeneous before the experiment (p=0.191). After the intervention, the healing of the lesions in the three groups was significantly higher in GLL and GILIB (p<0.050). As for the pain, there is a reduction of up to 4.0 points in GLL and GILIB (p=0.002). Conclusion: The administration of local and systemic laser therapy was more effective for the cure of nipple trauma and pain reduction, in comparison with the control group. (AU)

ABSTRACT

A via hippo é uma via de transdução de sinal altamente conservada que está implicada no desenvolvimento, homeostase e regeneração celular/tecidual. A YAP tem papel fundamental na via hippo uma vez que junto com a TAZ ativam fatores de transcrição que levam ao crescimento, diferenciação e migração celular. O mecanismo de fosforilação da YAP/TAZ pela LATS1/LATS2 cria um sítio de ligação para manter a YAP no citoplasma (fosforilada) impedindo suas funções a nível nuclear. Diante das importantes funções desta via no reparo e crescimento tecidual, esta pesquisa avaliou se a via hippo exerceu influência na resposta ao tratamento da MO através da expressão das proteínas YAP e LATS2 em mucosite oral (MO) quimicamente induzida pelo 5- fluoracil (5-FU), em modelo murino, tratada com própolis (P), geleia real (GR) ou laser (L) comparadas ao grupo controle (C), sem tratamento. Foram utilizadas amostras de ratos machos wistar divididos nos seguintes grupos: C, P, GR e L (intraoral 6 J/cm2 ) separados em três tempos experimentais: dias 08, 10 e 14. O perfil de imunomarcação foi feito por escores padronizados entre 0 a 3 levando em consideração a marcação nuclear e/ou citoplasmática. Na análise de imunomarcação da YAP, no dia 08, o grupo controle obteve os escore 0 e 1 na maioria das amostras, já nos dias 10 e 14 a maior parte das amostras obteve os escore 2 e 3. Nos grupos experimentais (L, GR e P), o escore 2 prevaleceu em todos os tempos experimentais. Para LATS2 houve prevalência do escore 2 tanto no grupo controle quanto nos grupos teste em todos os tempos experimentais. Em relação a análise estatística da imunoexpressão da proteína YAP, verificou-se diferença estatítica significativa (p= 0,020), apenas no dia 08 entre o grupo controle comparado aos grupos experimentais (L, GR e P). Já para LATS2 nenhuma diferença estatística foi encontrada. Na avaliação estatística dos diferentes tempos experimentais dentro um mesmo grupo, só foi encontrada diferença estatística significativa no grupo laser e apenas para LATS2 (p=0,025). Adicionalmente foi realizada a correlação de spearman, entre YAP e LATS2 para todos os grupos, porém não houve associação estatística significativa. A maior imunoexpressão de YAP e LATS2 (escores 2 e 3) observada nos grupos experimentais, indica que a via hippo é ativada e parece influenciar o processo de reparo nas mucosites orais quimioinduzidas e tratadas pelos diferentes métodos (AU).


The hippo pathway is a highly conserved signal transduction pathway that is implicated in cell/tissue development, homeostasis and regeneration. YAP plays a key role in the hippo pathway since, together with TAZ, they activate transcription factors that lead to cell growth, differentiation and migration. The YAP/TAZ phosphorylation mechanism by LATS1/LATS2 creates a binding site to keep YAP in the cytoplasm (phosphorylated) preventing its functions at the nuclear level. Given the important functions of this pathway in tissue repair and growth, this research evaluated whether the hippo pathway exerted influence on the response to OM treatment through the expression of YAP and LATS2 proteins in oral mucositis (OM) chemically induced by 5-fluororacil (5- FU), in a murine model, treated with propolis (P), royal jelly (GR) or laser (L) compared to the control group (C), without treatment. Samples of male Wistar rats divided into the following groups were used: C, P, GR and L (intraoral 6 J/cm2) separated into three experimental times: days 08, 10 and 14. The immunostaining profile was performed by standardized scores between 0 to 3 taking into account nuclear and/or cytoplasmic labeling. In the YAP immunostaining analysis, on day 08, the control group obtained scores 0 and 1 in most samples, while on days 10 and 14 most samples obtained scores 2 and 3. In the experimental groups (L, GR and P), score 2 prevailed at all experimental times. For LATS2 there was a prevalence of score 2 both in the control group and in the test groups at all experimental times, showing a very heterogeneous expression. Regarding the statistical analysis of YAP protein immunoexpression, there was a statistically significant difference (p= 0.020), only on day 08 between the control group compared to the experimental groups (L, GR and P). As for LATS2, no statistical difference was found. In the statistical evaluation of the different experimental times within the same group, a statistically significant difference was only found in the laser group and only for LATS2 (p=0.025). Additionally, the Spearman correlation was performed between YAP and LATS2 for all groups, but there was no statistically significant association. The greater immunoexpression of YAP and LATS2 (scores 2 and 3) observed in the experimental groups indicates that the hippo pathway is activated and seems to influence the repair process in chemoinduced oral mucositis treated by different methods (AU).

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Skeletal muscle atrophy leads to a reduction in muscle strength, functionality, and the quality of life of individuals. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of two different wavelengths (red and infrared) of laser PBMT on muscle atrophy and its active ingredients on skeletal muscle atrophy using an in vivo model of muscle atrophy. METHODS: Thirty-two Wistar rats were randomly divided into four experimental groups: control (CG) animals were not immobilized and did not receive any type of treatment; immobilized animals with no treatment (ImC); immobilized animals submitted to red laser with wavelength of 660 nm (ImR) and near-infrared laser with wavelength of 808 nm (ImIR) treatments. The treatments were applied daily, at 2 points in the right gastrocnemius muscle (cranial and caudal), through the punctual contact technique, for 9 sessions, with the first application immediately after removing the cast. RESULTS: The histological results demonstrated that in both treated groups (red and infrared wavelengths) a reduction of the inflammatory infiltrate and less connective tissue thickening when compared to the ImC. However, only infrared light was observed regenerating muscle fibers and an increase in the number of oxidative fibers (type I). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that red and infrared wavelength laser PBMT were able to promote changes in the morphology of the gastrocnemius muscle submitted to atrophy in an experimental immobilization model, reducing the inflammatory infiltrate and the formation of intramuscular connective tissue. However, infrared laser PBMT promoted more evident positive effects by increasing regenerating muscle fibers and the number of oxidative fibers.

ABSTRACT

Search knowledge dentist front surgeon to low intensity laser through a questionnaire. They were selected randomly in the city of Juiz de Fora and region 91 Dental Surgeons of Minas Gerais. These employees were sent during the months from July to October 2013, a standard form printed with questions about laser education assessment of low intensity. Of the 91 participants, 42 (46.2%) were female and 49 (53.8%) were male. Fifty-seven (62.6%) had dental public institution of higher education; 32 (35.2%) attended a private institution and 2 (2.2%) did not report this data. Eighty-nine dentists reported the time of graduation, and this varied with a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 38 years of training, the average being 11 years and this is the standard deviation of 10.7. The age of these professionals is on average thirty-five years, ranging from twenty-two years to sixty-five years of age and the standard deviation of this is 10.8. The distribution according to academic title was: 35 dentists (38.5%) had a degree in dentistry; 13 (14.3%) were specialists; 14 (15.4%) had master's and 4 (4.4%) doctorate. 25 (27.5%) did not report the academic title. The most relevant mentioned specialties were general practitioner, endodontics and implantology. We can conclude that the Juiz de Fora dentist - MG and region makes little use of laser therapy and this is mainly due to little knowledge acquired at the undergraduate and graduate education.
