Osteosarcoma of the jaw - experience at the Medical University Vienna and comparative study with international tumor registries

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVES: Osteosarcoma of the jaw (OSAJ) is fundamentally different in clinical practice from its peripheral counterparts. Studies are difficult to conduct due to low incidence rates. The primary aim of this study was to provide for the first time a comprehensive retrospective analysis of the treatment...

Evolution of potential biomarkers of acute muscle injury after physical exercise

Skeletal muscle injury is a frequent event and diagnosis using the classical blood markers sometimes produces unsatisfactory results. Therefore, objective of the study was to detect new biomarkers in plasma, saliva and urine in response to acute muscle damage induced by physical exercise. A cross-section...

Neutrophil CD64 expression levels in IGRA-positive individuals distinguish latent tuberculosis from active disease

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 114 (), 2019
BACKGROUND CD64 (FcγR1) is a high-affinity receptor for monomeric IgG1 and IgG3. Circulating neutrophils express very low amounts of CD64 on their surface. OBJECTIVES Our primary aim was to investigate the utility of neutrophil CD64 surface expression as a biomarker of active pulmonary tuberculos...

Periodontal disease, peri-implant disease and levels of salivary biomarkers IL-1β, IL-10, RANK, OPG, MMP-2, TGF-β and TNF-α: follow-up over 5 years

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of salivary biomarkers IL-1β, IL-10, RANK, OPG, MMP-2, TG-β and TNF-α in individuals with diagnosis of peri-implant mucositis in the absence or presence of periodontal and peri-implant maintenance therapy (TMPP) over 5 y...

The role of visfatin levels in gingival crevicular fluid as a potential biomarker in the relationship between obesity and periodontal disease

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Objectives Visfatin is an adipokine that plays an important role in immune functions as a growth factor, enzyme, and pro-inflammatory mediator. We aimed to determine the levels of visfatin, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in ...

Expressão de proteínas relacionadas às células mieloides de pacientes com doença peri-implantar

O objetivo geral do presente estudo foi avaliar a expressão das proteínas relacionadas às células mieloides em pacientes com mucosite peri-implantar e peri-implantite; bem como a correlação desses biomarcadores com os parâmetros clínicos da doença peri-implantar. Os objetivos específicos foram ...

Diagnóstico de doenças periodontais por meio de Biomarcadores Salivares: revisão de literatura
Diagnosis of periodontal diseases by salivary biomarkers: literature review

Rev. Salusvita (Online); 38 (3), 2019
Introdução: A doença periodontal (DP) é caracterizada por inflamação crônica em áreas subgengivais, onde uma vasta gama de metabólitos associados à inflamação é provavelmente produzida a partir de quebra do tecido, aumento da permeabilidade vascular e metabolismo microbiano. Apesar dos avan...

In vivo study of the action of a topical anti-inflammatory drug in rat teeth submitted to dental bleaching

Braz. dent. j; 29 (6), 2018
Abstract Bleaching gel containing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) cause damages in pulp tissue. This study investigated the action of a topical anti-inflammatory, the Otosporin®, in rats' bleached teeth with the null hypothesis of which the Otosporin® is no able to minimize the pulp inflammation that bleachin...
