ABSTRACT
No curso de graduação em Odontologia do Centro Universitário de Patos de Minas, diversas atividades do estágio Integração Ensino, Serviço e Comunidade (INESC) tiveram que ser suspensas emsua forma presencial, conforme recomendações das autoridades sanitárias, devido à pandemia da COVID-19. O objetivo deste artigo é relatar a experiência da aplicação dos conceitos de educação em saúde no ensino remoto por meioda confecção de vídeos de criação compartilhada por estudantes do oitavo período, matriculados no estágio INESC. As etapas de elaboração de roteiro textual, com adequação de linguagem e uso da função conativa foram cumpridas, bem como o uso dos recursos lúdicos. De maneira geral, foi percebido, tanto pelos docentes quanto pelos próprios alunos, a potência e o alcance do material utilizando as ferramentas digitais, que além de transformarem e enriquecerem a formação acadêmica, preparando os estudantes para uma nova realidade pós-pandemia, também são ferramentas perenes de transformação social, podendo ser utilizadas em diversos contextos e locais, ampliando o acesso da população às medidas educativas em saúde bucal (AU).
In the graduate course in Dentistry at the University Center of Patos de Minas, several in-person activities of the Teaching, Service, and Community Integration (INESC) internship had to be suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as recommended by health authorities. This article aims to report the experience of applying the concepts of health education in remote education through the production of videos shared by eighth-period students enrolled in this internship. The steps for preparing a script, with language adaptation, and the use of the conative function were completed, as well as the use of playful resources. In general, teachers and students have perceived the power and reach of digital tools, which, in addition to transforming and enriching the academic training and preparing students for a new post-pandemic reality, are also perennial tools of social transformation, that can be used in different contexts and places, expanding the access of the population to educational measures in oral health (AU).

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the efficacy of 0.03% tacrolimus eye drops diluted in two different vehicles (linseed oil and olive oil) for the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) in dogs. Methods: This study included 60 dogs. Of this group, 20 were healthy and allocated to the control group, and 40 were diagnosed with bilateral KCS and randomly allocated to either the TO (tacrolimus in olive oil) or the TL (tacrolimus in linseed oil) groups. Ophthalmic examinations, Schirmer Tear Test-1 (STT-1), Tear Film Break-up Time (TBUT) and Fluorescein Test (FT) were carried out monthly, along with cytological and histopathological examinations at the beginning and end of the study. Results: The clinical signs, corneal ulcers, Schirmer Tear Test-1 values, and Tear Film Break-up Time values improved in both groups after one month of treatment. Cytological examination at the end of the study showed decreased lymphocytes, neutrophil, metaplastic, and squamous cell counts in both groups, while the histopathological analysis showed decreases in lymphocytes and neutrophils and an increase in goblet cell density (cells/mm2). The decreases in neutrophil count were more significant (p<0.05) in the TL group for both types of examination. Conclusion: In sum, 0.03% tacrolimus eye drops diluted in olive oil and linseed oil were effective in the treatment of keratoconjunctivitis sicca. None of the evaluated parameters differed significantly between the two groups, except for neutrophil count which was significantly lower in the TL group. Thus, linseed oil may be considered as an alternative diluent for tacrolimus eye drops.
RESUMO Objetivo: Comparar a eficácia do tacrolimus 0,03% colírio, diluído em óleo de linhaça e óleo de oliva, no tratamento de ceratoconjuntivite seca em cães. Métodos: Foram utilizados 60 cães; 20 cães saudáveis como grupo controle, e 40 cães com diagnóstico de ceratoconjuntivite seca bilateral, distribuídos aleatoriamente em dois grupos: Tacrolimus em óleo de oliva (TO) e Tacrolimus em óleo de semente de linhaça (TL). Os animais foram avaliados mensalmente com exames oftálmicos, Teste lacrimal de Schirmer-1 (TLS-1), Tempo de ruptura do filme lacrimal (TRFL) e Teste de Fluoresceína (TF), e mensalmente com citologia conjuntival e com exame histopatológico no início e final do estudo. Resultados: Nos dois grupos de tratamento os sinais clínicos, Teste lacrimal de Schirmer-1, óleo de semente de linhaça e Tempo de ruptura do filme lacrimal apresentaram melhora após um mês de tratamento. E no final do estudo, na análise citológica, ambos apresentaram diminuição de linfócitos, neutrófilos, células metaplásicas e células escamosas, e na análise histopatológica houve diminuição de linfócitos, neutrófilos e o aumento de células caliciformes. No grupo óleo de semente de linhaça, a diminuição de neutrófilos foi mais significativa (p<0,05) em ambas análises. Conclusão: Em suma, tacrolimus 0,03% colírio diluído em óleo de oliva e óleo de linhaça foram eficientes no tratamento de ceratoconjuntivite seca. Nenhum dos parâmetros avaliados diferiu significativamente entre os dois grupos, exceto a contagem de neutrófilos, que foi significativamente menor no grupo TL. Assim, o óleo de linhaça pode ser considerado como um diluente alternativo para o colírio tacrolimus.

The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of two sources of omega 3 and 6, fish oil (FO) and linseed oil (LO), orally administered, alone or in combination, for treating experimentally induced keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) in rabbits. Twenty-eight New Zealand rabbits were used in this study. Seven animals were allocated to the C group (negative control), and KCS was induced in 21 animals by topically applying 1% atropine sulfate drops for 7 days. Treatment with atropine was maintained throughout the study period (12 weeks). The rabbits were divided into 3 treatment groups containing 7 animals each: FO group, LO group and FLO group (FO and LO). The animals were evaluated using the Schirmer Tear Test I (STT I), Rose Bengal Test (RBT), fluorescein test (FT), tear film break-up time (TBUT), and conjunctival and histopathological analysis. There was a significant increase in STT I and TBUT values in treatment groups, but the increase occurred earlier in the FO group. The results of the RBT and FT were similar among treatment groups, except FT, in the FLO group, negative staining was only in 12 weeks. There was a significant decrease in the number of goblet cells in the FLO group compared with the other groups. The results demonstrated that orally administered of FO and LO improved the clinical signs of KCS. However, improvement occurred earlier in the FO group. Using oils in combination did not provide additional benefits. These results contribute to the future development of new oral formulations as adjuvant therapies for KCS.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Sorghum is the second cereal used in pigs’ diets in Brazil, which has a lower cost than corn, thus this experiment aimed to study the effects of high-moisture sorghum silage grain with high- and low-tannin contents on silage quality and piglets’ performance. A total of seventy-two weaned piglets were allocated into randomized blocks with six replicates and four treatments, based on diets with dry corn grain (DCG); dry sorghum grain with low-tannin (LTSG), high-moisture sorghum grain silage with low-(LTSS) and high-tannin (HTSS). The ensiling process decreased total and condensed tannin contents to 31% and 98% for LTSS and, to 80% and 93% for HTSS, respectively. No treatment effects observed on average daily feed intake and average daily weight gain. The feed:gain ratio of piglets fed LTSS was greater than piglets fed LTSG. At total period, piglets fed HTSS showed a similar feed:gain ratio than piglets fed DCG or LTSG, although it was worse than animals fed LTSS. The LTSS and HTSS can replace corn or sorghum dry grains in diets of weanling pigs with no adverse effects on growth performance.
RESUMO: O sorgo é o segundo cereal mais utilizado nas dietas de suínos no Brasil e possui menor custo em relação ao milho. Neste contexto, este experimento objetivou estudar os efeitos da silagem de grãos úmidos de sorgo baixo e alto tanino na qualidade da silagem e desempenho de leitões. Utilizaram-se 72 leitões na fase de creche alocados em blocos ao acaso, com quatro tratamentos e seis repetições. Os tratamentos foram dietas à base de grãos de milho seco (M), grãos de sorgo seco baixo tanino (SSBT), silagem de grãos úmidos de sorgo com baixo (SBT) ou alto tanino (SAT). A ensilagem reduziu os teores de taninos totais e condensados em 31% e 98% para a SBT e, em 80% e 93% para a SAT, respectivamente. Não houve efeito dos tratamentos no consumo diário de ração e ganho diário de peso. A conversão alimentar dos leitões que receberam SBT foi melhor que a daqueles alimentados com dietas com SSBT para os períodos estudados. No período total, os leitões que receberam dietas com SAT apresentaram conversão alimentar semelhante àqueles alimentados com dietas com M ou SSBT, porém pior que aqueles alimentados com dietas com SBT. As SBT e SAT podem substituir o milho seco e o sorgo seco baixo tanino das rações sem prejuízo ao desempenho de leitões na fase de creche.
