ABSTRACT

Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have investigated the potential benefits of green tea on the inflammatory process in metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the results are inconclusive and inconsistent. In the present study, we performed a literature review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of green tea supplementation on inflammatory markers [e.g., tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin-6 (IL-6)] among patients with MetS and related disorders. We systematically searched for relevant publications up to March 2022 in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and SciELO databases. The review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022320345). Mean differences with 95% confidence intervals were pooled on the basis of the random effects model to compare the effects of green tea with placebo. We used meta-regression and subgroup analyses to determine the cause of heterogeneity and performed study quality assessment using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation method. We assessed publication bias using funnel plots and Egger's tests. Out of the total 15 RCTs that were included in this systematic review, 12 were chosen for the meta-analysis. The results revealed that green tea significantly decreased TNF-α levels but did not affect CRP and IL-6 levels. Subgroup analysis showed that green tea supplementation in studies lasting ≤8 weeks significantly increased CRP levels. Furthermore, meta-regression analysis demonstrated a significant association between increasing IL-6 concentration and treatment duration. According to our meta-analysis, green tea was shown to considerably lower circulating TNF-α levels. To confirm these findings, carefully planned trials are required.

ABSTRACT

Since the advent of Covid-19, several natural products have been investigated regarding their in silico interactions with SARS-CoV-2 proteases - 3CLpro and PLpro, two of the most important pharmacological targets for antiviral development. Phenylethanoid glycosides (PG) are a class of natural products present in important medicinal plants and a drug containing this group of active ingredients has been successfully used in the treatment of Covid-19 in China. Thus, a dataset with 567 derivatives of this class was built from reviews published between 1994 and 2020, and their interaction against both SARS-CoV-2 proteases was investigated. The virtual screening was performed by filtering the PGs through the evaluation of scores based on the AutoDock Vina, GOLD/ChemPLP, and GOLD/GoldScore evaluation functions. The bRO5 pharmacokinetic parameters of the PGs ranked in the previous step were analyzed and their interaction with key amino acid residues of the 3CLpro and PLpro enzymes was evaluated. Ninety-eight compounds were identified by computational approaches against PLpro and 80 PGs against 3CLpro. Of these, four interacted with key catalytic residues of PLpro, which is an indicative of inhibitory activity, and three compounds interacted with catalytic key residues of 3CLpro. Of these, five PGs occur in plants of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), while two are components of plants/formulations currently used in the Covid-19 protocols in China. The data presented here show the potential of PGs as selective inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro and PLpro.

ABSTRACT

The individuals with Hansen's disease experience situations of prejudice that, together with stigma and discrimination, culminate in social isolation and restrictions in social relationships. The aim of this study was to assess the perception of leprosy patients about their quality of life. This is a cross-sectional, quantitative study, whose convenience sample consisted of 94 leprosy patients, undergoing treatment, who attended health units in the city of Cuiabá, MT, Brazil. A structured questionnaire with sociodemographic data and information about the patient's knowledge about leprosy, prejudice, self-esteem and quality of life, was applied between April and August 2018.The results showed in the investigated population a predominance of males (55.3%), individuals with high school education (28.7%) and with an income ranging from 1 to 3 minimum wages (67%).The interviewees pointed out the side effects (44.7%) and the duration period (28.7%) as the greatest difficulty in the treatment. Most of the investigated (72.3%) had great knowledge about the disease, among which 26.6% had already suffered the leprosy reaction.40.4% of individuals were depressed and sad, and 69.1% had problems in employment after the diagnosis of the disease. When the quality of life was investigated, 45.7% of leprosy patients classified the domains evaluated between bad and very bad. Physical pain was associated with 43.7% of the individuals being unable to perform daily tasks. It can be concluded that leprosy causes suffering beyond pain and discomfort, with great social and psychological impact. (AU)


Os pacientes com hanseníase vivenciam situações de preconceito que, com o estigma e a discriminação, culminam para o isolamento social e a restrição dos relacionamentos sociais. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a percepção do paciente com hanseníase sobre sua qualidade de vida. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, quantitativo, cuja amostra de conveniência foi composta por 94 pacientes hansenianos, em fase de tratamento, que frequentavam as Unidades de Saúde do município de Cuiabá/MT, Brasil. Um questionário estruturado com dados sociodemográficos e informações sobre o conhecimento do paciente sobre a hanseníase, preconceito, autoestima e qualidade de vida, foi aplicado entre abril e agosto de 2018. Os resultados mostraram, na população investigada, um predomínio de indivíduos do sexo masculino (55,3%), com ensino médio completo (28,7%) e com renda entre 1 e 3 salários mínimos (67%). Os entrevistados apontaram como maior dificuldade do tratamento os efeitos colaterais (44,7%) e o período de duração (28,7%). A maioria dos investigados (72,3%) apresentava grande conhecimento sobre a doença, dentre os quais 26,6% já haviam sofrido a reação hansênica. 40,4% dos indivíduos encontravam-se deprimidos e tristes e 69,1%, tiveram problemas no emprego após o diagnóstico da doença. Quando a qualidade de vida foi investigada, 45,7% dos hansenianos classificaram os domínios avaliados entre ruim e muito ruim. A dor física foi associada ao impedimento do desempenho das tarefas diárias por 43,7% dos indivíduos. Pode-se concluir que a hanseníase causa sofrimento aos indivíduos que ultrapassa a dor e o mal-estar estritamente vinculados ao prejuízo físico, com grande impacto social e psicológico. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract Currently, CAD / CAM systems have been increasingly used in Dentistry, however due to the characteristic of the technique, since it is milled from a ceramic block, some flaws, such as fractures, become a challenge after the piece is cemented. To avoid the complete replacement of the part, the technique through intraoral repair of the fractured region is ideal for these cases. There are several protocols for this technique, this study aims to review the literature regarding the techniques and protocols for ceramic repair of the CAD / CAM system. A literature review was carried out on the Pubmed database using the terms Ceramic repair, Adhesive and Composite resin searching for studies published in the period from 2000 to 2020. 104 articles were found, after reading 32 articles were selected because they presented a greater correlation with the present study. There was unanimity among the authors about the importance of a surface treatment on the ceramic to be repaired, 70% of them still indicated the roughness with drills and conditioning with hydrofluoric acid due to the ease of the technique and good result. The combination of several surface treatments in the same region to be repaired produces better tensile strength. The use of the silane agent in a separate step presents better bonding strength results when compared to the universal type adhesive system with silane incorporated in the formula. (AU)


Resumo Atualmente os sistemas CAD/CAM tem sido cada vez mais utilizados na Odontologia, porém devido a característica da técnica, já que é fresada a partir de um bloco cerâmico, algumas falhas, como fraturas, se tornam um desafio após a peça ser cimentada. Para evitar a completa substituição da peça a técnica através de reparo intraoral da região fraturada é ideal para esses casos. Existem diversos protocolos para esta técnica, este estudo tem por objetivo uma revisão de literatura quanto às técnicas e protocolos de reparo em cerâmica do sistema CAD/CAM. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura no indexador Pubmed database utilizando os termos Ceramic repair, Adhesive e Composite resin buscando estudos publicados no período de 2000 a 2020. Foram encontrados 104 artigos, após leitura 32 artigos foram selecionados pois apresentavam maior correlação com o presente estudo. Foi unanimidade entre os autores acerca da importância de um tratamento de superfície na cerâmica a ser reparada, 70% deles ainda indicaram a asperização com brocas e condicionamento com ácido fluorídrico pela facilidade da técnica e bom resultado. A associação de vários tratamentos de superfície na mesma região a ser reparada produz melhor resistência a tração. O uso do agente silano em etapa separada apresenta melhores resultados de resistência de união quando comparado ao sistema adesivo do tipo universal com silano incorporado na fórmula. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar o perfil das mães com filhos diagnosticados com fissura lábiopalatal e verificar as orientações recebidas acerca desta patologia e sobre o aleitamento materno. Material e método: Foram entrevistadas 50 mães de crianças com fissuras labiopalatinas, de ambos os sexos e sem outras anomalias congênitas associadas. As mães foram entrevistadas utilizando um questionário modificado, aplicado logo após a triagem no Ambulatório de Anomalias Craniofaciais do Hospital Geral Universitário de Cuiabá, Mato Grosso - Brasil. Os dados foram analisados utilizando os testes estatísticos ANOVA (análise de variância) e Tukey para nível de significância de 5% (p < 0,05). Resultados: A maioria das mães pertencia à faixa etária de 20-30 anos, 64% delas não possuíam o ensino médio completo. De todas as mães que realizaram consultas de pré-natal, 74% receberam o diagnóstico da fissura ainda na gestação, sendo que essas realizaram número maior de consultas de pré-natal em relação àquelas que receberam o diagnóstico no pós-natal. Sobre o aleitamento materno 62% delas receberam orientações no pré-natal, sendo este índice elevado a 70% na maternidade, após o diagnóstico da fissura. Os sentimentos de preocupação e aceitação foram os mais relatados pelas mães. O uso de mamadeira como forma de aleitamento foi observado em 54% dos casos após a alta da maternidade. Conclusão: Foi verificado que as mães eram jovens, com baixo nível escolar e um número expressivo delas recebeu a informação do diagnóstico da fissura durante a gestação e informações sobre o aleitamento materno. Medo e preocupação foram sentimentos comumente relatados.

ABSTRACT

Resumo: Na Atenção Primária à Saúde - APS tem-se estimulado a busca para o atendimento ao usuário com câncer em cuidados paliativos, e a continuidade do cuidado é fundamental para uma assistência efetiva. A APS é a responsável por organizar e coordenar o cuidado na Rede de Atenção à Saúde. Neste contexto, os mecanismos de comunicação de referência e contrarreferência apontam como ferramentas necessárias para a continuidade do cuidado. O objetivo foi estruturar a comunicação da contrarreferência dos usuários em cuidados paliativos atendidos em um hospital oncológico de referência, para a continuidade do cuidado na atenção primária à saúde. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva e exploratória, de abordagem qualitativa, realizada no período de agosto a novembro de 2017. A pesquisa foi composta por três etapas: 1) diagnóstica, que incluiu a análise documental, com a avaliação do relatório de internamentos; 2) analítica, cuja técnica de coleta de dados foi a entrevista semiestruturada com 42 enfermeiros que atuavam no Distrito Sanitário, e os dados processados com o software IRAMUTEQ; e 3) operacional, em que foi realizada a sala de situação com os dados obtidos nas duas primeiras etapas e análise dos requisitos para a composição do instrumento da contrarreferência do usuário com câncer em cuidados paliativos na APS com 24 enfermeiros participantes da pesquisa, e os dados foram analisados e tratados pela Análise de Conteúdo, proposta por Bardin (2011). Resultados: 1) Documental - apresentou uma predominância de internações e reinternações no sexo feminino, correspondendo a 40 e 51% respectivamente. 2) Os resultados apresentaram a Classificação Hierárquica Descendente - CHD, que forneceu um dendograma composto por cinco classes, reagrupadas, analisadas e nomeadas como: Contrarreferência e a família no cuidado; Organização do trabalho na UMS e participação da equipe multiprofissional na assistência ao usuário com câncer em cuidados paliativos na APS. 3) Na sala de situação foi feita a apresentação da composição preliminar do instrumento de comunicação da contrarreferência com os requisitos elencados através das duas primeiras etapas da pesquisa, e complementação da proposta, a partir da inclusão dos requisitos: espiritualidade, classificação do tumor, metástase e outros dispositivos. Conclui-se que o instrumento de comunicação da contrarreferência, produto desta intervenção, pode contribuir para a continuidade do cuidado do usuário com câncer em cuidados paliativos na APS, com vistas a simplificar a comunicação entre os pontos de atenção, esperando facilitar e dar subsídios para o planejamento da continuidade do cuidado na APS.


Abstract: In Primary Health Care - PHC, the search for care to individuals with cancer in palliative care has been stimulated, and such care will only be effective if provided continuously. PHC is responsible for organizing and coordinating care in the Health Care Network. Therefore, referral and counter-referral communication mechanisms are necessary tools for the delivery of continuous care. The present study aimed to structure counter-referral communication of users of palliative care service at a cancer referral hospital, for the delivery of permanent care in PHC. Descriptive and exploratory study with a qualitative approach conducted from August to November 2017. The study had three stages: 1) diagnostic, including documentary analysis, with evaluation of hospital admission reports; 2) analytical, with data collected through semi-structured interviews conducted with the 42 nurses who worked at the Health District. IRAMUTEQ software was used for data processing; and 3) operational, with the creation of a situation room based on data obtained in the first two stages, and analysis of the requirements for the composition of the counter-referral tool for individuals with cancer in palliative care in PHC, with the 24 nurses who participated in the study, and data were analyzed and processed using content analysis proposed by Bardin (2011). RESULTS: 1) Documentary - with a predominance of hospitalizations and readmissions of female individuals: 40 and 51%, respectively 2) The results revealed a Descending Hierarchical Classification - DHC, which provided a dendogram composed of five classes regrouped, analyzed and named as follows: Counter-referral and family-centered health care; Organization of work in the Municipal Health Unit (UMS) and participation of the multidisciplinary team in the care to individuals with cancer in palliative care in PHC. 3) In the situation room the preliminary composition of the tool for counter-referral communication with the requirements established in the first two stages of the study was presented, as well as the complementation of the proposal, with the inclusion of the following requirements: spirituality, classification of tumors, metastasis and other devices. It is concluded that the tool for counter-referral communication, product of this intervention, can contribute to the delivery of continuous care to individuals with cancer in palliative care in PHC, to facilitate the communication between healthcare services, contributing to improve the planning of continuous care in PHC.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Demonstrar o uso da resina Bulk Fill como material de preenchimento em restaurações posteriores. Material e métodos: Paciente do sexo feminino, 28 anos, compareceu a clínica privada relatando incômodo nos dentes da região postero inferior esquerda. Após realização dos exames clínicos e radiográficos foi observada que havia restauração ocluso distal (OD) em resina composta com fratura da margem estendendo para face proximal e ausência de cárie no dente 35. Presença de cárie secundária sob a restauração de amálgama mesio ocluso distal (MOD) no dente 36 e restauração satisfatória em resina composta no dente 37. Como plano de tratamento foi proposta a substituição das restaurações dos dentes 35 e 36. Resultados: As restaurações dos dentes 35 e 36 foram removidas e após limpeza da cavidade, foi realizado tratamento dentinário com sistema adesivo autocondicionante e adaptação de matriz metálica. Inicialmente, o dente 35 foi restaurado com resina micro-híbrida e em seguida a restauração do dente 36 com a inserção da resina Bulk Fill com auxílio de um dispensador. A ponta do compule foi posicionada na parte mais profunda da cavidade e a resina injetada até o preenchimento de 4 mm. A restauração foi finalizada com incrementos de 2 mm da resina micro-híbrida na oclusal e polida após o período de 24 horas. Conclusões: A resina Bulk Fill pode ser utilizada como material de preenchimento em restaurações de dentes posteriores, permitindo a confecção de restaurações com maior praticidade e menor tempo clínico.


Objective: To demonstrate the use of a Bulk Fill composite as a fill material in posterior restoration. Material and Methods: Female patient, 28 years old, was presented to a private clinic with complaints of her lower left teeth region. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed: (i) an occlusal-distal composite resin restoration on tooth 35 (lower left second premolar) with fractured margin extending to the proximal face, but no signs of carie; (ii) presence of secondary caries under a mesialocclusal- distal (MOD) amalgam restoration on tooth 36 (lower left first molar), and (iii) satisfactory composite resin restoration on tooth 37 (lower left second molar). As a treatment plan it was proposed the replacement of the restoration on teeth 35 and 36. Results: The restoration on the teeth 35 and 36 were removed and after cleaning the cavity, dentin treatment with a self-etching adhesive system and metal matrix adaptation were performed. The tooth 35 was initially restored with a micro-hybrid resin and then restoration of the tooth 36 was carried out using a Bulk fill resin with the aid of a dispenser. The tip of the dispenser was placed in the deepest part of the cavity and the resin injected to a 4-mm filling. The restoration was completed by adding 2-mm increments of micro-hybrid resin on the occlusal face of the tooth, followed by polishing after 24h. Conclusion: Bulk Fill resin can be used as a fill material in posterior tooth restoration, thereby allowing restoration to be made with greater convenience and shorter clinical time.

ABSTRACT

The aim of the present work was to study the effect of the osmotic dehydration (OD) pre-treatment on the mass transfer kinetics and water activity (aw) of apple cubes during hot air drying. The adequacy of different mathematical models to describe the moisture content of the product during this process was also evaluated. Apple cubes were osmotically dehydrated with sucrose or sorbitol solutions at 60 °C, and then dried by air at 25-80 °C. Overall, the OD and rise of the air temperature resulted in an increased water loss rate and a reduction of the aw. The osmotic agent used in the OD was not relevant to the air drying kinetics, but the pre-treatment with sorbitol solutions produced dried samples with lower aw. Newton's, Page's, modified Page's, Henderson and Pabis', Two-term, Two-term exponential, Logarithmic, Midilli et al.'s models could describe the moisture content well during the air drying process.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Serotonin (5-HT) is a pleiotropic molecule that exerts several functions on brain and peripheral tissues via different receptors. The gene for the 5-HT2A receptor shows some variations, including a T102C polymorphism, that have been associated with increased risk of neuropsychiatric and vascular disorders. However, the potential impact of 5-HT2A imbalance caused by genetic variations on the human lifespan has not yet been established. METHODS: We performed a prospective study involving an Amazon riparian elderly free-living population in Maués City, Brazil, with a 5-year follow-up. Out of a cohort of 637 subjects selected in July, 2009, we genotyped 471 individuals, including 209 males (44.4%) and 262 females (55.6%), all averaging 72.3 ± 7.8 years of age (ranging from 60 to 100 years). RESULTS: The T102C-SNP genotypic frequencies were 14.0% TT, 28.0% CC, and 58.0% CT. From 80 elderly individuals who died during the period investigated, we observed significantly (P = .005) higher numbers of TT carriers (27.3%) and CC carriers (21.2%), compared to heterozygous CT carriers (12.5%). Cox-regression analysis showed that association between the T102C-SNP and elderly survival was independent of age, sex, and other health variables. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings strongly suggest that imbalance in 5-HT2A may cause significant disturbances that lead to an increased susceptibility to death for individuals who are over 60 years of age.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study evaluated the effect of application technique and preparation size on the fracture strength (FS), microtensile bond strength (µTBS) and marginal integrity (MI) of direct resin composite restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Conservative (5 × 2 × 2 mm) or extended (5 × 4 × 2 mm) preparations below the cementoenamel junction were performed in 140 human maxillary premolars (n = 70 per group). After adhesive application (XP Bond), half of each group was restored with the bulk technique (one 4-mm increment of Surefill SDR Flow plus one 1-mm horizontal capping layer of TPH3 [Spectrum TPH3 resin composite]) and half incrementally (TPH3 in three horizontal incremental layers, 1.5 to 2 mm each), all using a metal matrix band. After storage (24 h at 37°C), the proximal surfaces of each tooth were polished with Sof-Lex disks. For FS measurement, 60 restorations were mounted in a universal testing machine and subjected to a compressive axial load applied parallel to the long axis of the tooth, running at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. For µTBS testing, 40 teeth were longitudinally sectioned to obtain resin-dentin bonded sticks from the cavity floor (bonded area: 0.8 mm2). Specimens were tested in tension at 0.5 mm/min. The external marginal integrity of both proximal surfaces was analyzed using SEM of epoxy resin replicas. The µTBS, marginal integrity, and fracture resistance data were subjected to two-way ANOVA, and Tukey's post-hoc test was used for pair-wise comparisons (a = 0.05). RESULTS: Fracture resistance, microtensile bond strength, and marginal integrity values were not statistically significantly affected by application technique or preparation size (p = 0.71, p = 0.82, and p = 0.77, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The use of a bulk-fill flowable composite associated with a conventional resin composite as a final capping layer did not jeopardize the fracture strength, bond strength to dentin, or marginal integrity of posterior restorations.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of self-adhesive and self-etching resin cements on the bond strength of nonmetallic posts in different root regions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty single-rooted human teeth were decoronated, endodontically treated, post-space prepared, and divided into six groups. Glass-fiber (GF) posts (Exacto, Angelus) and fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) posts (EverStick, StickTeck) were cemented with self-adhesive resin cement (Breeze) (SA) (Pentral Clinical) and self-etching resin cement (Panavia-F) (SE) (Kuraray). Six 1-mm-thick rods were obtained from the cervical (C), middle (M), and apical (A) regions of the roots. The specimens were then subjected to microtensile testing in a special machine (BISCO; Schaumburg, IL, USA) at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Microtensile bond strength data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and Tukey's tests. RESULTS: Means (and SD) of the MPa were: GF/SA/C: 14.32 (2.84), GF/SA/M: 10.69 (2.72), GF/SA/A: 6.77 (2.17), GF/SE/C: 11.56 (4.13), GF/SE/M: 6.49 (2.54), GF/SE/A: 3.60 (1.29), FRC/SA/C: 16.89 (2.66), FRC/SA/M: 13.18 (2.19), FRC/SA/A: 8.45 (1.77), FRC/SE/C: 13.69 (3.26), FRC/SE/M: 9.58 (2.23), FRC/SE/A: 5.62 (2.12). The difference among the regions was statistically significant for all groups (p < 0.05). The self-adhesive resin cement showed better results than the self-etching resin cement when compared to each post (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences in bond strengths of the resin cements when comparable to each post (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The bond strength values were significantly affected by the resin cement and the highest values were found for self-adhesive resin cement.

ABSTRACT

Thirty-eight cases of canine leproid granuloma were diagnosed between 2000 and 2008. Diagnosis was based upon clinical and histopathological findings and the presence of acid-fast bacilli in skin sections. The clinical lesions were localized predominantly on the pinnae and included papules, plaques and nodules, with or without ulceration. Boxer dogs were the breed most affected. Histopathological findings included nodular to diffuse pyogranulomatous, lymphoplasmocytic inflammatory infiltrates, with or without necrosis, localized in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue. The bacillary loading and morphology were variable among the lesions analysed. There was no significant correlation between bacterial load and histopathological pattern, dominant type of inflammatory infiltration or the amount of necrosis or giant cells. No correlation was observed between giant cells and histopathological pattern. In the majority of cases where a PCR-based assay was done, a novel mycobacterium species as the main aetiological agent was identified, as reported in previous studies.

ABSTRACT

Pesquisa quantitativa descritiva, cujo objetivo é analisar as percepções de professores e alunos quanto ao grau de importância e a freqüência atribuída às atividades realizadas no Programa de Monitoria Acadêmica da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ). Cenário: quatro centros setoriais da UERJ. Amostra de 126 alunos e 101 professores. Utilizou-se dois questionários auto-aplicáveis, com produção de dados, entre outubro de 2003 e dezembro de 2004. O projeto foi submetido ao Comitê de Ética do Hospital Universitário Pedro Ernesto/UERJ. Elaborou-se uma base de dados, no software Epi-lnfo. Os resultados evidenciaram que algumas atividades realizadas pelos monitores e pelos docentes foram consideradas muito importantes, embora não se realizem com a freqüência desejada, constituindo-se em uma das distorções do Programa. Conclui-se que, apesar de a monitoria ter se firmado no ensino universitário como uma possibilidade de aprendizagem, ainda precisa ser aprimorada para atender ao objetivo de preparar acadêmicos para a docência.
