Comparación de prótesis removibles parciales y totales entregadas según sus características clínicas en el servicio de odontología del hospital nacional de geriatría y gerontología, en el período de tiempo comprendido del 1 de enero 2005 al 31 de diciembre del 2008 / Comparison of partial and total removable prosthesis delivered according to their clinical characteristics in the dentistry service of the national hospital of geriatry and gerontology, in the period under january 1 of 2005 to december 31 of 2008

RESUMEN Objetivo: Comparar la cantidad y características de las prótesis dentales removibles parciales y totales, en el servicio de odontología del Hospital Nacional de Geriatría y Gerontología, en el periodo de tiempo comprendido del 1 de enero 2005 al 31 de diciembre 2008, equivalentes a 326 expedientes. Se tomó la base de datos del servicio de odontología de consulta externa especializada de los pacientes atendidos de los años 2005 al 2008, en los cuales se entregaron un total de 2786 prótesis dentales removibles. Materiales y métodos: Con base en el dato anterior se seleccionó la muestra no aleatoria a conveniencia hasta alcanzar el tamaño de 599 prótesis entregadas, examinando 326 expedientes del periodo de enero del 2005 a diciembre del 2008, con un nivel de confianza de 99% y un error de muestreo de 0.0466. La recolección de datos se realizó por medio del programa Microsoft Excel donde se utilizó una tabla en la que se anotó el número de expediente, fecha de inicio y conclusión de prótesis, tipo de prótesis, cantidad y color de prótesis, edad, género y domicilio del paciente por distrito, cantón y provincia. El procesamiento se realizó por medio de estadística descriptiva utilizando cuadros y gráficos. Resultados: Se determinó que el mayor porcentaje de rango de edad de personas que solicitaron prótesis removibles fue de 62 a 65 años, independiente si eran prótesis totales o parciales, los pacientes que requirieron dos prótesis fueron 273 de 326, en su mayoría los pacientes solicitaron prótesis totales para un total de 372 de 599 prótesis entregadas. De la guía de color utilizada en el HRBC los colores más requeridos fueron los tonos claros blanco amarillentos que corresponde al número 62 y 65; de los expedientes analizados la mayoría de los pacientes residían en San José con un total de 200 pacientes. Se concluye que el mayor porcentaje de edentulismo que se presento es el edentulismo total con un 62%, la prótesis más utilizada es la prótesis total superior removible y en su mayoría los pacientes requieren dos prótesis, con respecto al color no es concluyente para este estudio debido a los datos no disponibles en los expedientes analizados.

ABSTRACT Objective: Compare the quantity and characteristics of partial and total removable dental prostheses, in the dentistry service of the National Hospital of Geriatrics and Gerontology, in the period from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2008. The database of the specialized outpatient dentistry service of the patients treated from 2005 to 2008 was taken, in which a total of 2786 removable dentures were delivered. Materials and methods: Based on the previous data, the non-random sample was selected for convenience until reaching the size of 599 protheses of 326 files, with a confidence level of 99% and a sampling error of 0.0466. Data collection was carried out through the Microsoft Excel program where a table was used in which the file number, date of start and conclusion of the prosthesis, type of prosthesis, amount and color of prosthesis, age, gender and address were used of the patient by district, canton and province. The processing was carried out by means of descriptive statistics using tables and graphs. Results: It was determined that the highest percentage of the age range of people who requested removable prostheses was 62 to 65 years, the patients that required two prostheses were 273 of 326. In their majority, the patients requested total prostheses for a total of 372 of 599 prostheses delivered. Of the color guide used in the HRBC, the most requested colors were the light yellowish-white tones corresponding to the number 62 and 65; of the files analyzed, most of the patients resided in San José with a total of 200 patients. Conclusion: It is concluded that the highest percentage of edentulism that is presented is total edentulism with 62%, the most commonly used prosthesis is the removable upper total prosthesis and for the most part patients require two prostheses, with respect to color it is inconclusive for this study due to data not available in the analyzed files.

In-vitro Anti-Inflammatory Evaluation of Crude Bombax ceiba Extracts.

Aims: The present work was decided to evaluate the in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity of crude extracts of Bombax ceiba in order to characterize the role of this extract in affecting the inflammatory process. Study Design: Extraction of B. ceiba bark, phytochemical screening, and evaluation of invitro anti-inflammatory activity. Methodology: Petroleum ether, ethanol and aqueous extracts of B. ceiba barks were prepared by maceration technique and subjected to preliminary phytochemical tests. The in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity of all extracts (1000 mcg/ml) was assessed by HRBC membrane stabilization method. Results: Ethanol extract showed significant (p<0.001) response followed by aqueous extract (p<0.01) when compared with standard, diclofenac potassium (50 mcg/ml). Conclusion: The study suggests that the extracts possess enough potential to reduce inflammation by in-vitro and directs the importance of further research and development of novel anti-inflammatory agents.

Preliminary screening of Cuscuta reflexa stems for Anti inflammatory and cytotoxic activity

Objective: Evaluation of preliminary antiinflammatory and cytotoxic activities of a parasitic plant Cuscuta reflexa. Methods: Human red blood stabilizing activity was used for the evaluation of in vitro antiinflammatory activity and Brine shrimp lethality assay was used to assess the cytotoxic potential of extract of stems of Cuscuta reflexa. Results: Methanolic extract and Ethyl acetate fraction of methanolic extract of Cuscuta reflexa (MECR & EAMECR resp.) were found to have significant antiinflammatory and cytotoxic activity with inhibitory concentration IC50%values 277.83 μg/ml & 214.94 μg/ml in HRBC stabitlity assay[table 01], and lethal concentration LC50% 257.73 μg/ml 184.86 μg/ml in BSLA respectively[table 02]. Conclusions: Amongst various extracts evaluated for cytotoxicity and antiinflammatory activities, methanolic extract of Cuscutareflexa (MECR) and its ethyl acetate soluble fraction (EAMECR) show significant cytotoxic as well as antiinflammatory activities which may be due to the presence of phenols, polyphenols and flavonoids.
