Avaliação proteômica da saliva da glândula parótida sob fluxo contínuo: um estudo exploratório

A saliva humana é um fluído, que exerce diversas funções na saúde oral e geral. A análise do proteoma das glândulas salivares em especial da glândula parótida, são importantes para a compreensão das proteínas individuais presentes na saliva humana e do seu comportamento na saúde, para desta ...

Doença peri-implantar e níveis dos marcadores salivares IL 1ß, IL-10, RANK, OPG, MMP-2, TGF e TNF-α: estudo observacional de 5 anos e revisão sistemática

A literatura recente apresenta inúmeros estudos sobre associação entre as doenças peri-implantares (DPi) e níveis de marcadores inflamatórios no fluido do sulco peri-implantar, em biópsias de tecido gengival e sangue. Surpreendentemente, poucos são os estudos de marcadores salivares relacionados ...

Avaliação da expressão de aquaporinas em carcinoma mucoepidermóide da glândula salivar

As aquaporinas (AQPs) pertencem a uma família de 13 pequenos canais de proteína transmembrana, envolvidos no transporte de água e solutos sendo fundamentais na fisiologia do organismo. Nas glândulas salivares, as aquaporinas têm sido consideradas muito relevantes para o controle da produção da sal...

The role of human milk and sucrose on cariogenicity of microcosm biofilms

Abstract This study investigated the effect of human milk, alone and associated with sucrose, in the cariogenicity of biofilms in a microcosm biofilm model and compared with the cariogenicity of sucrose and bovine milk. Microcosm biofilms were grown in enamel discs in 24-well plates. Six growth condition...

Measurement of oral health quality of life among patients who underwent haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation

Abstract Oral mucositis is a painful condition that occurs in patients who have undergone haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) and has a huge impact on their quality of life. The objective of this study was to examine the extent to which interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (T...

Cytokines, cortisol, and nitric oxide as salivary biomarkers in oral lichen planus: a systematic review

Abstract The etiopathogenesis of oral lichen planus (OLP) is still not fully elucidated, and it is believed that its development could involve a neuro-immune-endocrine profile. This systematic review investigated the relationship between cytokines, cortisol, and nitric oxide (NO) in the saliva of OLP pat...

Assessment of oxidative stress in saliva of children with dental erosion

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 16 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate oxidative stress in saliva of children with dental erosion as compared to children with no erosion. Methods One single examiner, trained and prepared to make diagnosis of dental erosion according to the Basic Erosive Wear Examination index, selected 40 children aged 4 t...

Comparative study of oral and salivary parameters in patients with and without loss of bone mass

Abstract Osteoporosis is an insidious and increasingly prevalent disease that can cause fractures and affect patients' quality of life. The current study comparatively evaluates patients with and without loss of bone mass in terms of salivary calcium, viscosity, and pH. A controlled cross-sectional study...

Efeito agudo da Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (TENS) sobre a hipossalivação induzida pela radioterapia na região de cabeça e pescoço: um estudo preliminar

CoDAS; 30 (3), 2018
RESUMO Objetivo Verificar o efeito agudo da eletroestimulação sobre o fluxo salivar de pacientes com hipossalivação. Método Ensaio clínico não controlado que avaliou o efeito de uma única aplicação da Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (TENS) sobre o fluxo salivar de 15 pacientes com...

First detection of dengue virus in the saliva of immunocompetent murine model

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 113 (4), 2018
The lack of an experimental animal model for the study of dengue pathogenesis is a limiting factor for the development of vaccines and drugs. In previous studies, our group demonstrated the susceptibility of BALB/c mice to infection by dengue virus (DENV) 1 and 2, and the virus was successfully isolated ...
