Effect of stem cells combined with a polymer/ceramic membrane on osteoporotic bone repair

Abstract Cell therapy associated with guided bone regeneration (GBR) can be used to treat bone defects under challenging conditions such as osteoporosis. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in combination with a poly(vinylidene-trifluoroethylene)/barium titanate (PVDF...

Determination of the effective anticandidal concentration of denture cleanser tablets on some denture base resins

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objective Although the effectiveness of chemical cleansing against Candida albicans biofilm has been shown, the effective concentration of denture cleanser tablets has not been studied. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of three denture materials against Candida albicans biofilm an...

Abdomen abierto y contenido: sistema “no comercial - hand made” en pacientes traumatizados. Alternativa terapéutica en situaciones con bajos recursos. ¿Es una opción segura y eficiente?

Hosp. Aeronáut. Cent; 12 (1), 2017
Introducción: En la década del ’80 se iniciaron los conceptos de laparotomía y relaparotomías. La hipertensión intraabdominal, la cirugía del control del daño, la necesidad de reexploración por packing hemostáticos o las colecciones abdominales son las indicaciones para ...

RESUMO As fístulas carótido-cavernosas são uma causa rara, porém grave, de glaucoma secundário por aumento da pressão venosa episcleral. Apresenta-se um caso de uma mulher de 72 anos, negra, atendida no Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro (HC-UFTM) com dor, sensaçã...

Rescuing axons from degeneration does not affect retinal ganglion cell death

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (4), 2016
After a traumatic injury to the central nervous system, the distal stumps of axons undergo Wallerian degeneration (WD), an event that comprises cytoskeleton and myelin breakdown, astrocytic gliosis, and overexpression of proteins that inhibit axonal regrowth. By contrast, injured neuronal cell bodies sho...

Influence of different fillers on the properties of an experimental vinyl polysiloxane

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of the incorporation of different fillers on an experimental vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) at two different concentrations, 20% and 40%. Different fillers were added to an experimental VPS. The study was developed in two stages: (i) incorporation of fil...

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the marginal and internal fit of zirconia copings obtained with different digital scanning methods. A human mandibular first molar was set in a typodont with its adjacent and antagonist teeth and prepared for an all-ceramic crown. Digital impressions w...

Biocompatibility of human auricular chondrocytes cultured onto a chitosan/polyvynil alcohol/epichlorohydrin-based hydrogel for tissue engineering application

Int. j. morphol; 32 (4), 2014
Tissue engineering (TE) has become an alternative for auricular reconstruction based on the combination of cells, molecular signals and biomaterials. Scaffolds are biomaterials that provide structural support for cell attachment and subsequent tissue development. Ideally, a scaffold should have character...
