RESUMO
Canine mesenchymal cells (MSCs) derived from Wharton's jelly were co-cultured, then supplemented or not supplemented with platelet rich plasma (PRP) and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) to verify osteogenic differentiation. Osteoblastic differentiation followed by mineralized bone matrix production was found to be significantly higher (p < 0.05) when MSCs were associated with PRP/DBM in culture after 14-21-days of induction. Osteopontin and osteocalcin gene expression were significantly superior (p < 0.05) under the same culture conditions after 21 days of observation. In conclusion, addition of PRP to DBM co-cultured with MSCs successfully induced osteogenesis in vitro.

Os derivados da ergotamina compõem diversas drogas amplamente utilizadas no tratamento de ataques agudos de migrânea. A intoxicação por estas substâncias resulta geralmente de sua administração crônica, promovendo sintomas secundários ao espasmo arterial e à consequente isquemia distal. Neste artigo, é relatado o caso de uma paciente de 47 anos com diagnóstico de oclusão arterial aguda em membros inferiores secundária ao uso de derivados da ergotamina. Após a suspensão da droga e a prescrição de anticoagulantes, vasodilatadores e antiagregante plaquetário, a paciente evoluiu com melhora da dor, da parestesia e com o retorno da coloração normal e dos pulsos distais em membros inferiores.
Ergotamine derivatives include several drugs widely used in the treatment of acute migraine attacks. Intoxication by these substances generally results from chronic administration, promoting symptoms secondary to arterial spasm and the consequent distal ischemia. The authors report the case of a 47-year old patient with acute arterial occlusion in lower limbs secondary to the use of ergotamine derivatives. After drugs were suspended and anticoagulants, vasodilators and antiplatelet drugs were prescribed, the patient progressed with improvement of pain, paresthesia and return of normal skin color and distal pulses in lower limbs.
