The different dynamics of archeology, the architectural heritage and museums in the "before" and "after" April 1974 are referred. Regarding museums, the situation of professional and civic associations is observed, through the analysis of the creation process and the subsequent development of the Portuguese Association of Museology (APOM) and the Portuguese National Committee of the International Council of Museums (CNP of ICOM or ICOM Portugal). It is recognized a trail conducting from the elitism and governmentalisation, connected to the period of the Dictatorship, to the socio-professional opening and community involvement, related to Democracy. It is stayed the thesis that popular action in general, and the associative movement in particular, constitutes a key pillar of the Portuguese Constitutional Regime in the particular configuration emerging from the Revolution of 1974.

- Abstract
(1) To study the prevalence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in diabetic patients. (2) To provide a detailed characterization of the coronary atherosclerotic burden, including the localization, degree of stenosis and plaque composition by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Single center prospective registry including a total of 581 consecutive stable patients (April 2011-March 2012) undergoing CCTA (Dual-source CT) for the evaluation of suspected CAD without previous myocardial infarction or revascularization procedures. Different coronary plaque burden indexes and plaque type and distribution patterns were compared between patients with (n = 85) and without diabetes (n = 496). The prevalence of CAD (any plaque; 74.1 vs. 56 %; p = 0.002) and obstructive CAD (≥50 % stenosis; 31.8 vs. 10.3 %; p < 0.001) were significantly higher in diabetic patients. The remaining coronary atherosclerotic burden indexes evaluated (plaque in LM-3v-2v with prox. LAD; SIS; SSS; CT-LeSc) were also significantly higher in diabetic patients. In the per segment analysis, diabetics had a higher percentage of segments with plaque in every vessel (2.6/13.1/7.5/10.5 % for diabetics vs. 1.4/7.1/3.3/4.4 % for nondiabetics for LM, LAD, LCx, RCA respectively; p < 0.001 for all) and of both calcified (19.3 vs. 9.2 %, p < 0.001) and noncalcified or mixed types (14.4 vs. 7.0 %; p < 0.001); the ratio of proximal-to-distal relative plaque distribution (calculated as LM/proximal vs. mid/distal/branches) was lower for diabetics (0.75 vs. 1.04; p = 0.009). Diabetes was an independent predictor of CAD and was also associated with more advanced CAD, evaluated by indexes of coronary atherosclerotic burden. Diabetics had a significantly higher prevalence of plaques in every anatomical subset and for the different plaque composition. In this report, the relative geographic distribution of the plaques within each subgroup, favored a more mid-to-distal localization in the diabetic patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of flexion angles produced by files during root canal instrumentation on the final form of the apical stop. Methods: Sixty human lower incisors were divided into 3 groups (n = 20). After access preparation and working length determination, radiographs were taken from a mesiodistal and buccolingual direction with #15 K-file inserted to working length. Teeth from FlexM group were instrumented with stainless steel Flexofiles up to #40 file. For ProM and ProR groups, hand ProTaper Universal and ProTaper Universal rotary files were used, respectively, up to file F4. New radiographs were taken as previously described. After gutta-percha insertion, the apex of each specimen was ground, allowing gutta-percha visualization, and an image of the apex was captured to identify root canal deformation with computer software. The flexion of files was evaluated from both initial and final radiographs as the angle formed between the divergence of the file path and its virtual image represented by the direction taken by the file in the absence of curvature. Results: FlexM group presented the highest variation in flexion angles compared with ProM (P = .112) and ProR (P = .024) groups. Nickel-titanium rotary system (ProR) reduced apical stop deformation compared with the manual techniques that used nickel-titanium (P = .011) or stainless steel (P = .025) files. Conclusions: Force vectors caused by the flexion angles of the files during the instrumentation of curved canals promoted apical stop deformation. ProTaper Universal rotary files showed less apical deformation than hand ProTaper Universal and stainless steel files. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

- Abstract
Statement of problem: Unresolved controversy exists concerning the best technique for restoring endodontically treated teeth. Prefabricated posts have been recommended with some debate as a method of restoring pulpless teeth before placement of the final restoration. Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect on the strain, fracture resistance, and fracture mode of endodontically treated human incisors of 4 types of restorations with or without glass fiber posts after thermal cycling. Material and methods: Ninety human maxillary central incisors were selected and divided into 1 control group and 8 treatment groups (n=10). The teeth were endodontically treated and received 2 large Class III preparations simulating coronal destruction. The teeth were then restored with or without glass fiber posts and by using 4 restorative techniques: direct composite resin, direct composite veneer, feldspathic ceramic veneer, or a feldspathic ceramic crown. After artificial aging by thermal cycling, the incisors were loaded at a 135-degree angle, and the strain was measured by using strain gauges placed on the facial and proximal root surfaces. Specimens were subsequently loaded to the point of fracture. Strain and fracture resistance results were analyzed by a 1-way and 2-way ANOVA, followed by the Tukey HSD and Dunnett tests (α=.05). Results: One-way analyses showed that the control group and the direct composite resin restoration with and without post groups presented significantly higher fracture resistance values (P<.001). Two-way analyses showed no significant differences for the post system. Proximal strain values were higher in the control and composite resin groups and lower in the feldspathic ceramic groups. Conclusions: The presence of glass fiber posts did not increase the fracture resistance of endodontically treated incisors. Conservative composite resin restorations showed higher fracture resistance values. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

- Abstract
Statement of problem: Unresolved controversy exists concerning the remaining coronal tooth structure of anterior endodontically treated teeth and the best treatment option for restoring them. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of post, core, crown type, and ferrule presence on the deformation, fracture resistance, and fracture mode of endodontically treated bovine incisors. Material and methods: One hundred and eighty bovine incisors were selected and divided into 12 treatment groups (n=15). The treatment variations were: with or without ferrule, restored with cast post and core, glass fiber post with composite resin core, or glass fiber post with fiber-reinforced core, and metal- or alumina-reinforced ceramic crown (n=15). The restored incisors were loaded at a 135-degree angle, and the deformation was measured using strain gauges placed on the buccal and proximal root surfaces. Specimens were subsequently loaded to the point of fracture. Strain and fracture resistance results were analyzed by 3-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests (α=.05). Results: Ferrule presence did not significantly influence the buccal strain and fracture resistance for the ceramic crown groups, irrespective of core and crown type. Ferrule presence resulted in lower strains and higher fracture resistance in the metal crown groups, irrespective of core. The cast post and core showed lower strain values than groups with glass fiber posts when restored with metal crowns. Conclusions: Core type did not affect the deformation and fracture resistance of endodontically treated incisors restored with alumina-reinforced ceramic crowns. The presence of a ferrule improved the mechanical behavior of teeth restored with metal crowns, irrespective of core type. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The understanding of the molecular basis of yeast resistance to ethanol may guide the design of rational strategies to increase process performance in industrial alcoholic fermentations. In this study, the yeast disruptome was screened for mutants with differential susceptibility to stress induced by high ethanol concentrations in minimal growth medium. Over 250 determinants of resistance to ethanol were identified. The most significant gene ontology terms enriched in this data set are those associated with intracellular organization, biogenesis, and transport, in particular, regarding the vacuole, the peroxisome, the endosome, and the cytoskeleton, and those associated with the transcriptional machinery. Clustering the proteins encoded by the identified determinants of ethanol resistance by their known physical and genetic interactions highlighted the importance of the vacuolar protein sorting machinery, the vacuolar H+-ATPase complex, and the peroxisome protein import machinery. Evidence showing that vacuolar acidification and increased resistance to the cell wall lytic enzyme β-glucanase occur in response to ethanol-induced stress was obtained. Based on the genome-wide results, the particular role of the FPS1 gene, encoding a plasma membrane aquaglyceroporin which mediates controlled glycerol efflux, in ethanol stress resistance was further investigated. FPSI expression contributes to decreased [3H]ethanol accumulation in yeast cells, suggesting that Fps1p may also play a role in maintaining the intracellular ethanol level during active fermentation. The increased expression of FPS1 confirmed the important role of this gene in alcoholic fermentation, leading to increased final ethanol concentration under conditions that lead to high ethanol production.

In this work, we prepared new biocompatible N-alkyl cholinium-based ionic liquids to be used as cosolvents to improve the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs, namely, sodium diclofenac and paracetamol. In this set of ionic liquids, we intend to understand the effect of increasing the asymmetry of the ionic liquid cation/anion by growing the length of one of the alkyl chains attached to the nitrogen center/sulfonate center on the dissolution capacity of the ionic liquid. The addition of these new ionic liquids to water increased the dissolution capacity of the drugs up to four-times that in water, and improved the pharmacodynamic properties of these drugs, especially the case of sodium diclofenac. The intermolecular interactions between the drugs and ionic liquids were investigated by NMR. Two-dimensional 1H/1H nuclear overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) revealed an interaction between sodium diclofenac and the alaninate anion from the [C2Ch]2[SucAla]. In the case of paracetamol and [C4Ch][C2SO3], it was possible to observe two intermolecular interactions between the hydroxyl group of paracetamol and two protons from the cation [C4Ch]+. Interestingly, the ionic liquid bearing a succinyl-DL-alaninate anion, [SucAla]2−, and a N-ethyl cholinium cation, [C2Ch]+, which presented the highest ability to dissolve sodium diclofenac, showed no cytotoxicity up to 500 mM. Therefore, this ionic liquid is a potential candidate for drug delivery applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

OVARIAN cancer , *CANCER cells , *OXINDOLES , *CELL lines , *CELL death , *GENETIC toxicology - Abstract
Cancer is still one of the deadliest diseases worldwide despite the efforts in its early detection and treatment strategies. However, most chemotherapeutic agents still present side effects in normal tissues and acquired resistance that limit their efficacy. Spiropyrazoline oxindoles might be good alternatives as they have shown antiproliferative activity in human breast and colon cancer cell lines, without eliciting cytotoxicity in healthy cells. However, their potential for ovarian cancer was never tested. In this work, the antiproliferative activity of five spiropyrazoline oxindoles was assessed in ovarian cancer cells A2780 and the biological targets and mechanism of action of the most promising compound evaluated. Compound 1a showed the highest antiproliferative effect, as well as the highest selectivity for A2780 cells compared to healthy fibroblasts. This antiproliferative effect results from the induction of cell death by mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and autophagy. In vitro DNA interaction studies demonstrated that 1a interacts with DNA by groove-binding, without triggering genotoxicity. In addition, 1a showed a strong affinity to bovine serum albumin that might be important for further inclusion in drug delivery platforms. Proteomic studies reinforced 1a role in promoting A2780 endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) stress by destabilizing the correct protein folding which triggers cell death via apoptosis and autophagy.

- Abstract
Palladacycles are versatile organometallic compounds that show potential for therapeutic use. Here are described the synthesis and characterization of mono- and dinuclear palladacycles bearing diphosphines. Their biological effect was investigated in A2780, an ovarian-derived cancer line, and in normal dermal fibroblasts. The compounds displayed selective cytotoxicity toward the A2780 cell line. Compound 3decreased the cell viability through cell cycle retention in G0/G1, triggered apoptosis through the intrinsic pathway, and induced autophagy in A2780 cells. Compound 9also induced cell cycle retention, apoptosis, and cellular detachment. Notably, compound 9induced the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Our work demonstrated that compound 3enters A2780 cells via active transport, which requires energy, while compound 9enters A2780 cells mostly passively. The potential effect of palladacycles in angiogenesis was investigated for the first time in an in vivo chorioallantoic membrane model, showing that while compound 3displayed an antiangiogenic effect crucial to fighting cancer progression, compound 9promoted angiogenesis. These results show that palladacycles may be used in different clinical applications where pro- or antiangiogenic effects may be desirable.

On Sustainable and Community Museums, edited by Karen Brown, Peter Davis, and Luís Raposo The aim of this Book on Community and Sustainable Museums is to provide reflections and didactic tools to suggest how a community might go about conceiving and creating a new community or ecomuseum if they so wished. We also seek to share the experience and knowledge of the EU-LAC-MUSEUMS Project Advisors - Beatriz Espinoza, Hugues de Varine, Teresa Morales Lersch, and Peter Davis - concerning the key concepts and features of community and sustainable museums. Part 1 - Community and sustainable museums - concepts and key features offers theoretical, philosophical and practical proposals and experiences as to how we might define, maintain, and promote the sustainability of museum communities and eco- and community museums in Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. Part 2 - Creating and sustaining community museums and ecomuseums then progresses to thinking in more practical terms – at once didactic and provocative - for the benefit of communities considering the creation of a new ecomuseum or community museum. Part 3 - Here, a selection of community and sustainable museums from our project partner countries showcases museums from each of the research partner countries in our project: the Anglophone Caribbean, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, Portugal, Peru, Spain and Scotland.

Graphical abstract Abstract The major challenge of the pharmaceutical industry is to find potential solvents for poorly water-soluble drug molecules. Ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted this industry as (co-) solvents due to their unique physicochemical and biological properties. Herein, a straightforward approach for the enhancement of the water solubility of paracetamol and sodium diclofenac is presented, using new biocompatible N -acetyl amino acid N -alkyl cholinium-based ionic liquids as co-solvents (0.2–1 mol%). These new ionic liquids were able to increase the water solubility of these drugs up to four times that in pure water or in an inorganic salt solution. In the presence of these ILs, the drugs lipophilicity (log P was not significantly changed for paracetamol, but for sodium diclofenac it was possible to decrease significantly its lipophilicity. Concerning cytotoxicity in human dermal fibroblasts it was observed that ILs did not show a significant toxicity, and were able to improve cell viability compared with the respective precursors.

Thyroid cancer is a common malignancy of the endocrine system. Nodules are routinely evaluated for malignancy risk by fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), and in cases such as follicular lesions, differential diagnosis between benign and malignant nodules is highly uncertain. Therefore, the discovery of new biomarkers for this disease could be helpful in improving diagnostic accuracy. Thyroid nodule biopsies were subjected to a precipitation step with both the insoluble and supernatant fractions subjected to proteome and peptidome profiling. Proteomic analysis identified annexin A1 as a potential biomarker of thyroid cancer malignancy, with its levels increased in malignant samples. Also upregulated were the acetylated peptides of annexin A1, revealed by the peptidome analysis of the supernatant fraction. In addition, supernatant peptidomic analysis revealed a number of acetylated histone peptides that were significantly elevated in the malignant group, suggesting higher gene transcription activity in malignant tissue. Two of these peptides were found to be robust malignancy predictors, with an area under the receiver operating a characteristic curve (ROC AUC) above 0.95. Thus, this combination of proteomics and peptidomics analyses improved the detection of malignant lesions and also provided new evidence linking thyroid cancer development to heightened transcription activity. This study demonstrates the importance of peptidomic profiling in complementing traditional proteomics approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

RNA regulation , *THYROID cancer , *TRANSCRIPTION factor Sp1 , *RNA modification & restriction , *SIGNAL detection , *ANNEXINS - Abstract
Differentiated thyroid cancer is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system. Although most thyroid nodules are benign, given the high incidence of thyroid nodules in the population, it is important to understand the differences between benign and malignant thyroid cancer and the molecular alterations associated with malignancy to improve detection and signal potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic targets. Proteomics analysis of benign and malignant human thyroid tissue largely revealed changes indicating modifications in RNA regulation, a common cancer characteristic. In addition, changes in the immune system and cell membrane/endocytic processes were also suggested to be involved. Annexin A1 was considered a potential malignancy biomarker and, similarly to other annexins, it was found to increase in the malignant group. Furthermore, a bioinformatics approach points to the transcription factor Sp1 as being potentially involved in most of the alterations seen in the malignant thyroid nodules. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: This study is to evaluate fracture resistance, failure mode, and gap formation at the restorative interface of unrestored or restored non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) submitted to a short-term erosive environment. Materials and methods: Artificial NCCLs were produced in vitro in bovine incisors, and were randomly divided into four restorative resins groups (n = 22): nanohybrid-NR; bulk-fill-BR; flow with a nanohybrid layer-FNR; bulk-fill with a nanohybrid layer-BNR; and a group unrestored-UR (n = 16). Half of the specimens were submitted to an erosive challenge (per 5 min, 3 × a day for 7 days, before and after restoration), and the other half, was immersed in artificial saliva. After, all teeth undergone thermal (5 ºC, 37 ºC, and 55 ºC, 3600 cycles) and mechanical (50 N, 2 Hz, 300,000 cycles) aging. Eighty teeth were subjected to compressive loading, and resistance and failures were analyzed, while 24 teeth were evaluated for gaps by microcomputed tomography. Statistical tests were performed (p < 0.05). Results: The restorative approaches affected fracture resistance (η2p = 0.14, p = 0.023), and gap formation (η2 = 0.18, p = 0.012) and so did the immersion medium (fracture η2p = 0.09, p = 0.008; gap η2 = 0.09, p = 0.017). BNR showed the highest resistance, while UR the lowest. FNR showed the highest gaps in both immersion media. Neither the resin groups nor the immersion media were associated with failure mode. Conclusions: The erosive immersion medium based in acid beverages has been shown to affect NCCLs with or without restoration, but when Bulk-Fill resin is covered by nanohybrid resin, the performance is good. Clinical relevance: Erosion negatively affects restorations, but unrestored NCCL shows worse biomechanical performance in stress-bearing situations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Objectives: Innumerous modifications have been proposed for the microtensile test since its introduction; however, testing parameters are not often well described and wide variations in bond strength are commonly reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the test specimen''s gripping device, specimen geometry and fixation method on microtensile bond strength, failure mode, and stress distribution when using an etch-and-rinse 2-step adhesive system bonded to human dentin. Methods: Resin-based composite bonded to occlusal dentin from 21 human molars was used to fabricate dumbbell- and stick-shaped test specimens which were divided into three groups: Di – dumbbell-specimens placed in a Dircks device; GeS – stick-specimens gripped in a Geraldeli''s device with Superglue; GeZ – stick-specimens gripped in a Geraldeli''s device with Zapit. Specimens were tested to failure in tensile mode and the failure mode was examined under stereomicroscopy and fracture initiation sites were verified by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Three-dimensional models of each device/specimen were created and finite element calculations were performed. Results: The effect of the gripping devices on the bond strength was not significant, unless the bond test areas were normalized. The failure mode was influenced by the type of device. Dircks device was less sensitive to human error than Geraldeli''s, and produced a more uniform stress distribution at the dumbbell specimen adhesive layer than did the Geraldeli''s device at the stick layer. Significance: Microtensile testing parameters can directly influence the results and consequently inter-study comparisons. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

CELL permeability , *SOLUBILITY , *SALTS , *MECHANICAL chemistry , *NEUROLOGICAL disorders - Abstract
Eight new amorphous organic salts of folic acid (FA) were prepared by mechanochemistry. FA can prevent cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Mechanochemistry overcomes serious FA solubility issues avoiding the use of toxic solvents. Due to low FA solubility, therapeutic effects in supplements and drugs are not achieved. Current strategies to improve FA solubility include its derivatization by using complex synthetic procedures. Herein, a simple and green procedure, avoiding structural modifications, was designed using mechanochemistry. Biocompatible amine‐derivative coformers were strategically combined with FA to obtain salts with good physicochemical properties. New 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 amorphous FA salts offer 10 to 10,000 times better aqueous solubility and 10 to 100 times better octanol‐water partition coefficient values (Koctanol/water) than FA alone. Koctanol/water is considered as a surrogate of cell permeability. No toxic effects in normal human primary dermal fibroblasts were detected for the prepared FA salts. Our findings suggest that 1 : 2 FA salts of choline hydroxide and derivatives could be good candidates for future pharmaceutical/nutraceutical applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: To evaluate the real need for coronary access after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).Methods and Results: Prospective observational single-center registry, including 563 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI between April 2008 and November 2018, with both self- and balloon-expandable valves in a tertiary European center. Mean age was 82.4 ± 6.9 years, 53.3% were female, 16% had previous history of coronary artery bypass grafting, 33% of previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and 16.6% of myocardial infarction (MI). Twenty-four percent of the patients were revascularized within one year before TAVI in preparation for the procedure. Median Society of Thoracic Surgeons score was 4.82 (IQ 2.84). In a median follow-up of 24 months (IQ 21.5), 18 patients (3.2%) were identified as potentially in need for invasive coronary angiography: 9 (1.6%) in the setting of stable coronary artery disease and 9 (1.6%) for an acute coronary syndrome. A total of 11 PCIs were performed in 9 patients, with a complete success rate of 63.6%. Procedures that were unsuccessful or partially unsuccessful were due to the inability to cross the stent or the drug-eluting balloon through the valve struts or misplacement within the coronary artery due to lack of catheter support.Conclusion: In this population, a strategy of previous guideline-directed revascularization before TAVI was associated with a low rate of MI and repeated need of coronary access, with a scattered distribution over time. Assuring future access to coronary arteries in patients at increased risk may depend on the revascularization strategy rather than device selection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

To investigate the effect of different halogen substituents and leaving groups and the flexibility of ligands on the anticancer activity of copper complexes, sixteen copper(II) complexes with eight different tridentate Schiff-base ligands containing pyridine and 3,5-halogen-substituted phenol moieties were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods. Four of these complexes were also characterized by X-ray crystallography. The cytotoxicity of the complexes was determined in three different tumor cell lines (i.e. the A2780 ovarian, HCT116 colorectal and MCF7 breast cancer cell line) and in a normal primary fibroblast cell line. Complexes were demonstrated to induce a higher loss of cell viability in the ovarian carcinoma cell line (A2780) with respect to the other two tumor cell lines, and therefore the biological mechanisms underlying this loss of viability were further investigated. Complexes with ligand L1 (containing a 2-pycolylamine-type motif) were more cytotoxic than complexes with L2 (containing a 2-(2-pyridyl)ethylamine-type motif). The loss of cell viability in A2780 tumor cells was observed in the order Cu(Cl2-L1)NO3 > Cu(Cl2-L1)Cl > Cu(Br2-L1)Cl > Cu(BrCl-L1)Cl. All complexes were able to induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that could be related to the loss of cell viability. Complexes Cu(BrCl-L1)Cl and Cu(Cl2-L1)NO3 were able to promote A2780 cell apoptosis and autophagy and for complex Cu(BrCl-L1)Cl the increase in apoptosis was due to the intrinsic pathway. Cu(Cl2-L1)Cl and Cu(Br2-L1)Cl complexes lead to cellular detachment allowing to correlate with the results of loss of cell viability. Despite the ability of the Cu(BrCl-L1)Cl complex to induce programmed cell death in A2780 cells, its therapeutic window turned out to be low making the Cu(Cl2-L1)NO3 complex the most promising candidate for additional biological applications.

Coronary CT angiography (CTA) is currently considered a reliable method to exclude obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) before valvular heart surgery in patients with low pretest probability. However, its role in excluding obstructive CAD before transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is less well established. Single-center retrospective study where patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis underwent both CTA and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) as part of TAVI planning. CTA exams were conducted on a 64-slice dual source scanner, with a median interval of 45 days to ICA (IQR 25–75 [13–82]). In both tests, obstructive CAD was defined as a ≥50% stenosis in an epicardial vessel ≥2 mm diameter. Per-patient, per-vessel and per-proximal segment analyses were conducted, excluding and including non-evaluable segments. The study included 200 patients (120 women, mean age 83 ± 6 years). The prevalence of obstructive CAD on ICA was 35.5% (n = 71). On a per-patient analysis (assuming non-evaluable segments as stenotic), CTA showed sensitivity of 100% (95% CI, 95–100%), specificity of 42% (95% CI, 33–51%), and positive and negative predictive values of 48% (95% CI, 44–51%) and 100% (95% CI, 92–100%), respectively. CTA was able to exclude obstructive CAD in 54 patients (27%), in whom ICA could have been safely withheld. Despite the high rate of inconclusive tests, pre-procedural CTA is able to safely exclude obstructive CAD in a significant proportion of patients undergoing TAVI, possibly avoiding the need for ICA in roughly one quarter of the cases.

CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior Vários fatores podem influenciar na longevidade das restaurações em resina composta: composição da resina composta, técnicas e materiais utilizados no momento da restauração. O objetivo geral desse trabalho foi avaliar os fatores que podem interferir na longevidade das restaurações em resina composta. Este estudo foi dividido em 4 capítulos de acordo com cada objetivo específico: Capítulo 1: Avaliar a influência de diferentes aparelhos fotoativadores com diferentes diâmetros de ponta e espectro de luz em resinas bulk-fill. Objetivo 2: Avaliar diferentes protocolos de fotoativação e polimento na rugosidade superficial, brilho, sorção e solubilidade de uma resina composta. Objetivo 3: Analisar a influência da composição de diferentes iniciadores/concetrações e espectro de luz de aparelhos fotoativadores no grau de conversão, Dureza e resistência a tração diametral em resinas compostas experimentais. Os métodos experimentais utilizados foram: grau de conversão (capítulo 1 e 3); microdureza Knoop (capítulo 1 e 3); rugosidade (capítulo 2); Brilho (capítulo 2); sorção e solubilidade (capítulo 2); resistência a tração diametral (capítulo 3). Os resultados encontrados mostram que: 1) O aparelho fotoativador e o diâmetro da amostra afetaram significativamente a grau de conversão. O centro do espécime apresentou microdureza superior a periferia. 2) Não foram detectadas diferenças significativas na rugosidade da superfície e brilho para as diferentes aparelhos fotoativadores. Comparando os sistemas de polimento, os espécimes Sof-Lex e Opti1Step apresentaram rugosidade superficial semelhante, sendo significativamente superior ao Jiffy. 3) As resinas experimentais com presença de pelo menos 50% de BAPO apresentaram os melhores resultados de grau de conversão e resistência a tração diametral. Pode-se concluir que o tamanho da ponteira do aparelho fotoativador e o espectro de luz emitido pode influenciar nas propriedades mecânicas e ópticas da resina composta, assim como os diferentes iniciadores e suas concentrações presentes em sua constituição. Several factors can influence the longevity of composite resin restorations: composite resin composition, techniques and materials used at the time of restoration. The general objective of this work was to evaluate the factors that can interfere in the longevity of composite resin restorations. This study was divided into 4 chapters according to each specific objective: Chapter 1) The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different light-curing units (LCUs) with distinct tip diameters and light spectra for activating bulk-fill resins. Chapter 2) The aim of this study was to evaluate different polishing protocols and light cure units (LCU) on the surface roughness, gloss, and sorption and solubility of a composite resin. Chapter 3) this study aimed to analyze the influence of the composition of experimental nanohybrid composite resins produced with distinct photoinitiators/concentrations and the light spectrum of different LED units on the degree of conversion, hardness and diametral tensile strength of the resulting restoratives. The experimental methods used were: degree of conversion (chapters 1 and 3); Knoop hardness (chapters 1 and 3); roughness (chapter 2); gloss (chapter 2); sorption and solubility (chapter 2); diametral tensile strength (chapter 3). The results found show that: 1) LCUs and specimen diameter significantly affected the degree conversion. The center of the specimen exhibited superior KHN than the periphery. 2) No significant differences were detected on the surface roughness or gloss for the different LEDs units. Comparing the polishing systems, Sof-Lex and Opti1Step specimens presented similar surface roughness, which was significantly superior to Jiffy. 3) The experimental resins with the presence of at least 50% of BAPO showed better degree conversion and diametral tensile strength results. It can be concluded that the size of the LED tip, and the emitted light spectrum can influence the mechanical and optical properties of the composite resin, as well as the different initiators and their concentrations present in their constitution.

Method: Two in vitro studies were carried out, based on 4 resinous groups: Tetric N-Ceram® - RN Group; Tetric N-Ceram® Bulk Fill-RB; Tetric N-Flow® + Tetric N-Ceram®-RFN; and Tetric N-Ceram® Bulk Fill + Tetric N-Ceram®-RBN, and a non-ST-restorative treatment group was added for the 2nd study. Eighty circular specimens were made for the test of roughness (ER) and weight (EP), and forty rectangular specimens for the test of flexural strength (RF), divided into 4 resinous groups. In the 2nd study, NCCLs were made in 80 bovine teeth distributed in the 4 restorative groups, and the ST. All were subdivided, and half of them submerged in a biocorrosive challenge (c). ER and EP analyzes were performed for the circular specimens and RF for the rectangular specimens. All bovine specimens were subjected to mechanical (300,000 cycles, 50 N, 2 Hz) and thermal (5ºC, 37ºC and 55ºC, 4,000 cycles) simulated aging and a constant compressive load applied to the palatal surface at 1mm/min until failure. /break (RFR). The results of the RE, EP and RF were submitted to statistical analysis by one-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc, to analyze the group effect and the paired t test to analyze the initial and final means (ER and EP). The RFR (material and medium effect) was evaluated by the two-way ANOVA test, with Tukey's post hoc, and the failure mode by the Fisher's exact test. All at a 5% statistical significance level. Result: There was an increase in roughness in the RB group when in acidified medium (p=0.008). There were no differences in weight change between the studied groups. The RFN group in the salivary medium showed the highest flexural strength (p=0.037), however it showed a significant reduction when submitted to the acid challenge. The RBN group presented the best fracture resistance regardless of the medium, while the ST group had the worst. Conclusion: Low pH beverage negatively affects biomechanical properties of restorative materials in non-carious cervical lesions. Objetivo: Analisar o desempenho biomecânico de quatro soluções resinosas diretas em lesões cervicais não cariosas (LCNC), quando submetidos ou não ao processo biocorrosivo. Método: Foram realizados dois estudos in vitro, baseado em 4 grupos resinosos: Tetric N-Ceram® - Grupo RN; Tetric N-Ceram® Bulk Fill- RB; Tetric N-Flow® + Tetric N-Ceram®- RFN; e Tetric N-Ceram® Bulk Fill + Tetric N-Ceram®- RBN, e um grupo sem tratamento restaurador-ST, foi adicionado para o 2º estudo. Foram confeccionados oitenta corpos de prova circulares para o ensaio de rugosidade (ER) e peso (EP), e quarenta retangulares para o ensaio de resistência flexural (RF), divididos nos 4 grupos resinosos. No 2º estudo foram confeccionadas LCNC em 80 dentes bovinos distribuídos nos 4 grupos restauradores, e o ST. Todos foram subdivididos, e metade deles submersos em um desafio biocorrosivo (c). Foram realizadas análises ER, EP para os corpos de prova circulares e da RF para os retangulares. Todos os espécimes bovinos foram submetidos ao envelhecimento simulado mecânico (300.000 ciclos, 50 N, 2 Hz) e térmico (5ºC, 37ºC e 55ºC, 4.000 ciclos), e a uma carga compressiva constante aplicada na superfície palatina a 1mm/min até a falha/ruptura (RFR). Os resultados dos ER, EP e RF foram submetidos a análise estatística por anova oneway e post hoc Tukey, para análise do efeito do grupo e o teste t pareado para análise das médias iniciais e finais (ER e EP). A RFR (efeito do material e do meio) foi avaliada pelo teste anova two way, com post hoc de Tukey, e o modo de falha pelo teste exato de Fisher. Todos a um nível de significância estatística de 5%. Resultado: Houve um aumento da rugosidade no grupo RB quando em meio acidificado (p=0,008). Não houve diferenças na alteração de peso entre os grupos estudados. O grupo RFN no meio salivar apresentou a maior resistência flexural (p=0,037), contudo apresentou significativa redução quando submetido ao desafio ácido. O grupo RBN apresentou a melhor resistência a fratura independente do meio, enquanto que o ST a pior. Conclusão: Bebida de baixo pH afeta negativamente propriedades biomecânicas de materiais restauradores em lesões cervicais não cariosas.

FAPEMIG - Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais A aplicação do fluxo eletrocinético (FEC) se apresenta como uma alternativa promissora no intuito de se otimizar o transporte de moléculas para o interior dos poros do esmalte, dispensando-se o uso da técnica adesiva convencional. Esse processo é baseado na geração de diferença de potencial elétrico, sendo que sua aplicação possibilita a movimentação de moléculas através dos nanoporos do esmalte. O objetivo deste estudo in vitro foi avaliar as alterações químicas do esmalte dentário por meio de análise por Espectroscopia no Infravermelho por transformada de Fourier no modo de reflexão total atenuada (FTIR-ATR) após infiltração de resina fluida tipo infiltrante (Icon Caries Infiltrant Proximal) utilizando-se o FEC. Cinco terceiros molares foram utilizados, os quais foram seccionados longitudinalmente no sentido mesio-distal, resultando em duas hemicoroas. Foram analisadas as bandas para fosfato (, carbonato, proteína amida I, ligação C=O e ligação C-H. Não se observou alteração das bandas de fosfato, amida, e carbonato entre os espécimes infiltrados e nãoinfiltrados. Verificou-se, também, a presença de banda de baixa intensidade referente à ligação C=O, anteriormente inexistente, e aumento de intensidade da área da ligação C-H no espectro do esmalte infiltrado. A resina foi infiltrada no esmalte dental via FEC, entretanto, os sinais das bandas vibracionais foram verificados em níveis mais baixos, provavelmente devido ao pequeno volume dos nanoporos na constituição do tecido. O método de FTIR-ATR parece não ter a sensibilidade necessária para se determinar a presença da resina infiltrada no esmalte. The traditional technique for diffusion of molecules through dental enamel has limitations due to the small size of the pores present in the tissue. In an attempt to optimize the transport of molecules into these pores, the application of electrokinetic flow (ECF) seems to be a promising alternative. Based on a process that generates an electrical potential difference, its application causes movement of the molecules through the enamel nanopores. The objective of this "in vitro" study was to determine the chemical alterations of dental enamel by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy in the attenuated total reflection mode (FTIR-ATR) after infiltration of an infiltrating resin (Icon Caries Infiltrant Proximal) by FEC. Five third molars were used, which were sectioned longitudinally in the mesio-distal direction, resulting in two hemicrowns. The bands for phosphate, carbonate, protein amide I, C=O bond and for the CH bond were analyzed. (2800-3015 cm−1 ). It was not observed change in the phosphate, amide, and carbonate bands between the infiltrated and non-infiltrated samples. It was also verified the presence of a low intensity band referring to the C=O bond, not seen previously, and an increase in the intensity of the area of the C-H bond in the infiltrated enamel spectrum. The resin was infiltrated into the dental enamel via FEC. However, the vibrational bands presented lower levels than expected, probably due to the small volume of the nanopores in the tissue constitution. The FTIR-ATR method does not seem to have the necessary sensitivity to determine the resin infiltrated into the enamel by FEC.

Pesquisa sem auxílio de agências de fomento Escâneres intraorais (EIs) são usados rotineiramente e sua acurácia tem sido testada principalmente por estudos laboratoriais. No entanto, investigações in vivo são necessárias para avaliar a acurácia de diferentes equipamentos digitais usados para escaneamentos de arco completo. Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a acurácia de diferentes EIs, usados por operadores experientes para escaneamento de arco completo. Escaneamentos de arco completo foram realizados em 15 indivíduos empregando dois EIs (Trios 3 e iTero 5D); em seguida, as impressões em PVS e modelos de gesso foram obtidos e digitalizados em escâner de bancada (inEos X5). Os escaneamentos intraorais foram realizadas nos períodos T0 e T1, para ambos os EIs. Já as impressões PVS foram realizadas em T0. A precisão entre os sistemas de escaneamento foi calculada pelo desvio médio entre as sobreposições das 4 varreduras de cada grupo, em ambos os períodos (n=12). A veracidade entre os grupos foi avaliada pela sobreposição dos 8 escaneamentos intraorais de cada participante, sendo os modelos de referência obtidos do escâner de bancada (n=10). Os modelos foram analisados em um software 3D para extração dos dados. ANOVA em parcelas subdivididas no tempo foi usada para análise da veracidade e um delineamento inteiramente casualizado para análise da precisão. A precisão média do Trios 3 foi de 7,0 e 8,6 µm para os modelos maxilar e mandibular, respectivamente. Para o iTero 5D, a precisão média foi de 9,0 e 8,8 µm para os modelos maxilar e mandibular, respectivamente. Não foram observadas diferenças significativas para a precisão dos sistemas de EIs (P>0,05). O escâner de bancada, apresentou diferenças significativas para precisão, demonstrando variações reduzidas (melhor precisão) em relação aos EIs, com precisão de 1,0 e 0,9 µm para os modelos maxilar e mandibular, respectivamente (P0,05). Analisando a veracidade em função do tempo, observou-se uma melhora em T1 para os modelos maxilares (parâmetros máximos e mínimos superiores), independente dos EIs (P0.05). The desktop scanner, showed significant differences for precision, presenting reduced variations (better precision) compared to the IOSs, with 1.0 and 0.9 µm precision for maxillary and mandibular models, respectively (P0.05). Analyzing the trueness as a function of time, an improvement was observed in T1 for the maxillary models (maximum and minimum superior parameters), irrespective of the IOSs (P

Magnetic versus Manual Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Introduction Whether or not the potential advantages of using a magnetic navigation system (MNS) translate into improved outcomes in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is a question that remains unanswered. Methods and Results In this observational registry study, we used propensity-score matching to compare the outcomes of patients with symptomatic drug-refractory AF who underwent catheter ablation using MNS with the outcomes of those who underwent catheter ablation using conventional manual navigation. Among 1,035 eligible patients, 287 patients in each group had similar propensity scores and were included in the analysis. The primary efficacy outcome was the rate of AF relapse after a 3-month blanking period. At a mean follow-up of 2.6 ± 1.5 years, AF ablation with MNS was associated with a similar risk of AF relapse as compared with manual navigation (18.4% per year and 22.3% per year, respectively; hazard ratio 0.81, 95% CI 0.63-1.05; P = 0.108). Major complications occurred in two patients (0.7%) using MNS, and in six patients (2.1%) undergoing manually navigated ablation (P = 0.286). Fluoroscopy times were 21 ± 10 minutes in the manual navigation group, and 12 ± 9 minutes in the MNS group (P < 0.001), whereas total procedure times were 152 ± 52 minutes and 213 ± 58 minutes, respectively (P < 0.001). Conclusions In this propensity-score matched comparison, magnetic navigation and conventional manual AF ablations seem to have similar relapse rates and a similar risk of complications. AF ablations with magnetic navigation take longer to perform but expose patients to significantly shorter fluoroscopy times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CNPq - Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico As cerâmicas vítreas reforçadas por dissilicato de lítio, consistem em um dos materiais mais importantes para as reabilitações odontológicas, devido a sua excelente estabilidade química e física, sendo uma das cerâmicas odontológicas mais utilizadas em diversos tipos de reabilitações orais. Após o fim patente que a empresa desenvolvedora do material possuía, outras empresas passaram a fornecer novas versões deste material, sendo que esses fabricantes sugerem que estas novas cerâmicas apresentam propriedades estruturais, morfológicas e mecânicas adequadas e compatíveis para o uso em sistemas CAD/CAM. Sendo assim, esta tese de doutorado possuí 4 objetivos específicos: Objetivo específico 1: O objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar duas marcas comerciais distintas de cerâmicas vítreas reforçadas por dissilicato de lítio para uso em sistema CAD/CAM (IPS e.max CAD e Rosetta SM), avaliando suas propriedades estruturais, morfológicas e mecânicas. Objetivo específico 2: O objetivo do presente estudo foi desenvolver e validar uma metodologia para medição do tamanho médio dos cristais presentes em cerâmicas odontológicas e sua porcentagem utilizando imagens obtidas por meio da microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Objetivo específico 3: Este estudo objetivou comparar 4 marcas comerciais de cerâmicas reforçadas por dissilicato de lítio para CAD/CAM, IPS E.max (Ivoclar Vivadent), Rosetta SM (Rosetta SM, Hass), T-lítio (Talmax) e IRIS (Mainland), avaliando suas propriedades estruturais, morfológicas e mecânicas. Objetivo específico 4: Nesta descrição de caso clínico foi feito o relato de situação limítrofe na qual foi realizada a a substituição de coroas metalo-cerâmicas insatisfatórias dos elementos 12, 11, 21 e 22, por coroas cerâmicas reforçadas por dissilicato de lítio em paciente com mordida aberta anterior esquelética. Lithium disilicate reinforced ceramics are one of the most important materials for dental rehabilitation, due to its excellent physical and chemical stability. Nowadays, lithium disilicate glass-reinforced ceramics are frequently selected as indirect restorative material for all-ceramic restorations. After the end of the patent, other companies started to produce new versions of this material, and the manufacturers suggest that these ceramics have adequate and compatible structural, morphological, and mechanical properties for CAD/CAM applications. Therefore, this study was divided into 4 specific objectives: Objective 1: The aim of this study was to compare two commercial brands of lithium disilicate glass-reinforced ceramics for CAD/CAM system (IPS e.max CAD and Rosetta SM), evaluating their structural, morphological and mechanical properties; Objective 2: The objective of this study was to present and validate a methodology for measuring the average size of ceramic crystals and their percentage using images obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Objective 3: To compare 4 distinct commercial lithium disilicate glass-reinforced ceramics brands, IPS E.max (Ivoclar Vivadent), Rosetta SM (Rosetta SM, Hass), T-lithium (Talmax) and IRIS (Mainland), by evaluating their structural, morphological and mechanical properties. Objective 4: In this clinical case report, a limit situation is shown with the replacement of unsatisfactory metal-ceramic crowns in the elements 12, 11, 21 and 22 by all-ceramic lithium disilicate glass-reinforced crowns, in a patient with skeletal anterior open bite.

Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of conversion, color stability, chemical composition, and bond strength of a light-cure resin cement (Variolink Veneer, Ivoclar Vivadent) contaminated with three different hemostatic solutions ( Hemostop, Viscostat and Viscostat Clear). Specimens were prepared for the control (uncontaminated resin cement) and experimental groups (resin cement contaminated with one hemostatic solution) according to the tests. For the degree of conversion (n=5) and color analysis (n=10), specimens (3 mm thick and 2 mm in diameter) were evaluated using a Fourier infrared transform spectroscopy (FTIR) and spectrophotometer (analyzed in the CIElab system (L * a * b *) respectively. For the elemental chemical analysis (n=1), specimens (2 mm thick and 6 mm in diameter) were evaluated using x-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The bond strength of the groups was assessed by microshear test (n=20) in a leucite-reinforced glass ceramic substrate (IPS Empress Cad LT A1), followed by analysis of the failure mode using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mean values, except for the elemental chemical evaluation and failure mode, were evaluated using split plot ANOVA and Tukey post hoc analysis. Contamination with ViscoStat increased cement degree of conversion, the color was influenced by contamination and aging caused the instability of color all groups and the bond strength was negatively influenced by contaminants. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o grau de conversão, estabilidade de cor, composição química e resistência de união de cimento resinoso fotoativado (Variolink Veneer, Ivoclar Vivadent) contaminados com três diferentes agentes hemostáticos (Hemostop, ViscoStat e ViscoStat clear). As amostras foram preparadas para o grupo controle (cimento resinoso não contaminado) e grupos experimentais (cimento resinoso contaminado por uma solução hemostática) de acordo com os grupos. Para o grau de conversão (n = 5) e análise de cor (n = 10), as amostras (3 mm de espessura e 2 mm de diâmetro) foram avaliadas usando um infravermelho com transformação de Fourier (FTIR) e espectrofotometria (analisado pelo sistema CIElab (L * a * b *)), respectivamente. Para a análise química elementar (n = 1), as amostras (2 mm de espessura e 6 mm de diâmetro) foram avaliadas por meio de espectroscopia de energia dispersiva por emissão de raio X (EDS). A resistência de união entre os grupos foi avaliada pelo teste de microcisalhamento (n = 20) em substrato cerâmica reforçada por leucita (IPS Empress Cad LT A1), seguida de análise do modo de falha por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV). Os valores médios, exceto para o modo de falha e avaliação química elementar, foram avaliados através do teste de variância ANOVA one-way para o grau de conversão e ANOVA com parcela subdividida para os testes de cor e resistência de união, seguidos pelo teste de Tukey.

Primary stability and the type of surface roughness have a strong influence on the dental implants osseointegration. During implant placement, damage on the prosthetic connection and implant surface may occur. Due to the deformations in this portion of the implants, this work analyzed the effects of implant insertion into bone on the surface roughness parameters for the same surface treatment applied by the same manufacturer to implants with different macro-designs and evaluated the levels of deformation in external hexagon (EH) connections subjected to internal toque. For the surface analysis, three groups of titanium implants with different macro-designs were investigated using laser interferometry and scanning electron microscopy. Relevant surface roughness parameters were calculated for different regions of each implant before (B) and after (A) insertion into pork ribs. For the deformation of EH connections, two types of implants (S and N) were used and internal torque were applied. The internal distance (ID), internal area (IA) and external area (EA) of the EH were obtained. The tops of the threads of all B implants had very similar roughness parameters, independent of the geometry of the implant, after bone insertion, this was the region that presented significant alterations. In contrast, the flanks and valleys of the threads presented larger irregularities (Sa) with higher slopes (Sdq) on all B implants, particularly for implants with threads with smaller heights. Levels of EH deformation were greater in the S group as compared with the N group. This preliminary study demonstrated surface damage of the implants after the installation process by the changes observed on roughness parameters, which were affected by the macrogeometry. The EH may be affected by different internal torque levels. A estabilidade primária e o tipo de rugosidade da superfície possui uma forte influência na osseointegração de implantes dentários. Durante a colocação do implante, danos na conexão protética e superfície do implante podem ocorrer. Devido a deformações nestas regiões dos implantes, o presente trabalho analisou os efeitos da inserção do implante em osso com o mesmo tratamento aplicado e pelo mesmo fabricante de implantes com macrogeometrias diferentes sobre parâmetros de rugosidade superficial e avaliou os níveis de deformação de conexões tipo hexágonos externo (HE) quando submetidos a toque interno. Para a análise de superfície, três grupos de implantes de titânio com diferentes macrogeometrias foram investigados usando interferometria a laser e microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Parâmetros de rugosidade superficial relevantes foram calculados para diferentes regiões de cada implante antes (B) e depois (A) da inserção em costelas de porco. Para a deformação das conexões HE, foram utilizados dois tipos de implantes (S e N) e o torque interno foi aplicado. A distância interna (ID), a área interna (IA) e externa (EA) do HE foram obtidas. Os topos de rosca de todos os implantes B obtiveram parâmetros de rugosidade muito semelhantes, independentemente da geometria do implante, e depois da inserção em osso, esta foi a região que apresentou alterações significativas. Em contraste, os flancos e vales das roscas apresentaram maiores irregularidades (Sa), com maiores inclinações (Sdq) em todos os implantes B, especialmente para implantes com altura de rosca menor. Os níveis de deformação do HE foram maiores no grupo S (SIN), em comparação com o grupo N (Neodent). Este estudo preliminar demonstrou danos na superfície dos implantes após o processo de instalação do implante pelas mudanças observadas nos parâmetros de rugosidade, afetados pela macrogeometria e o HE pode ser afetado por diferentes níveis de torque interno.

CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior As lesões cervicais não cariosas (LCNCs) caracterizam-se pela perda de tecido mineralizado na junção cemento-esmalte, possuindo etiologia multifatorial, envolvendo agentes de tensão, fricção e corrosão. Apesar de não haver consenso em relação ao manejo clínico, o controle das LCNCs consiste na avaliação e manejo dos fatores etiológicos e confecção de restauração, principalmente, com resina composta. Considerando isto, o objetivo geral deste trabalho foi avaliar a o comportamento clínico e biomecânico de protocolos restauradores de LCNCs, divididos em quatro objetivos específicos: 1- avaliar o efeito do padrão oclusal, procedimento restaurador e morfologia da lesão cervical não cariosa no comportamento biomecânico de pré-molar superior; 2- analisar a influência da técnica restauradora em cavidade de lesão cervical não cariosa na tensão de contração residual e grau de conversão de resinas compostas; 3- avaliar o padrão de tensão-deformação de pré-molares superiores hígidos submetidos à fadiga mecânica; e 4- analisar a taxa de sucesso clínico de protocolos restauradores de LCNCs, divididos em dois fatores de estudo: afastamento gengival (sem afastamento; e com fio afastador) e método de aplicação do sistema adesivo universal. Para a execução deste estudo, foi utilizado o método de elementos finitos 3D, teste de extensometria in vivo, método de elementos finitos 2D, teste de extensometria ex vivo, espectrofotometria por infravermelho transformada de Fourier e estudo clínico randomizado. Como resultado, observou-se que o contato oclusal fora do longo eixo do dente e o processo de fadiga mecânica aumentam a concentração de tensão e deformação na região vestibular cervical, principalmente quando o contato é na vertente triturante da cúspide vestibular. A presença de LCNC intensifica estes valores de tensão e deformação, entretanto, a sua morfologia não interfere significativamente. O procedimento restaurador dissipa mais homogeneamente as tensões geradas pelas forças oclusais, resultando em um comportamento mecânico próximo ao dente hígido. A técnica de inserção de único incremento, seja de resina composta convencional ou de baixa contração, é a mais indicada para LCNC com até 2mm de profundidade, pois apresenta menores valores de tensão de contração residual e adequado grau de conversão. Ao analisar a longevidade das restaurações, a média da taxa de sucesso foi de 92,8% em 180 dias. Sendo assim, conclui-se que o a análise oclusal deve ser periodicamente avaliada para identificar possíveis contatos prematuros e interferência oclusais; o processo restaurador é etapa fundamental para o controle das LCNCs; a técnica com único incremento é indicada para restaurar estas cavidades; e o afastamento gengival com fio afastador e o método de aplicação do sistema adesivo universal não influenciaram a longevidade das restaurações de LCNCs em até 180 dias. Noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are characterized by loss of mineralized tissue at the cementum-enamel junction and presents multifactorial etiology, involving stress, friction and corrosion agents. Although there is no consensus regarding clinical management, the control of NCCL is the evaluation and management of etiological factors and restoration mainly with composite resin. Considering this, the general propose were to evaluate the clinical and biomechanical behavior of NCCL’s restorative protocols, divided into four specific objectives: 1- to evaluate the effect of occlusal pattern, restorative procedure and morphology of NCCL on the biomechanical behavior of maxillary premolar; 2- to analyze the influence of the NCCL restorative technique on the residual shrinkage stress and degree of conversion of composite resins; 3- to evaluate the stress-strain pattern of intact maxillary premolar submitted to mechanical fatigue; and 4- to analyze the clinical success rate of NCCL restorative protocols, divided into two study factors: gingival displacement (with and without gingival retraction cord); and method of applying the universal adhesive system. For this study, 3D finite element analyze, in vivo strain gauge test, 2D finite element analyze, ex vivo strain gauge test, fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer and randomized clinical trial were performed. As a result, occlusal contact outside the long axis of the tooth and the mechanical fatigue process have been shown to increase the concentration of stress and strain in the buccal cervical region, especially when the contact is in the grinder slope of the buccal cusp. The presence of NCCL increase the stress and strain values, however, its morphology does not significantly interfere on the biomechanical behavior. The restorative procedure dissipates more homogeneously the stress generated by the occlusal forces, resulting in a mechanical behavior closer to the intact tooth. The technique of insertion of one increment, either of conventional or low shrinkage composite resin, is the most indicated for NCCL of up to 2mm of depth, because it presents lower residual shrinkage stress and adequate degree of conversion. When analyzing the longevity of the restorations, the mean success rate was 92.8% in 180 days. Therefore, it were concluded that the occlusal arrangement should be periodically evaluated to identify possible premature contacts or occlusal interference; the restoration is a fundamental step for the control of NCCLs; the technique with single or bulk-fill increment is indicated to restore these cavities; the gingival displacement with retracting cord and the method of applying the universal adhesive system did not influence the longevity of the NCCL restorations in up to 180 days.

FAPEMIG - Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais Este estudo objetiva testar se a composição de quatro tipos de cimentos endodônticos interfere nas propriedades adesivas do cimento resinoso dual autoadesivo usado para a cimentação de pinos de fibra de vidro à dentina radicular. Sessenta raízes de incisivos bovinos foram divididas em quatro grupos de acordo com o cimento endodôntico (n = 15): ZOE - base de óxido de zinco eugenol; CH - base de hidróxido de cálcio; ER - base resinosa; e BC - base biocerâmica. Os canais foram instrumentados pela técnica escalonada e obturados com gutta-percha e cimento endodôntico. Após 1 semana foram preparados e os pinos foram cimentados com cimento resinoso dual autoadesivo dual. Dez raízes (n=10) foram seccionadas transversalmente obtendo-se dois discos para cada terço do canal: cervical, médio e apical. Esses discos foram submetidos ao teste de micro push-out (MPO). Secções transversais, idênticas às do teste de MPO, foram realizadas para análise em MEV (n=2) e microscopia confocal (sem a cimentação dos pinos) (n=2).

Abstract: The Tejo river is one of the major drainages in Iberian Peninsula; it is a long-lived system (ca. 3.4 Ma) and provides an archive of long-term landscape development and environmental change controlled by tectonics, climate and eustasy. The most upstream Portuguese reach of the Tejo river, ∼200 km from the Atlantic coast, shows evidence for five fluvial terraces (T1 to T5) with elevations reaching more than 120 m above the modern river bed. A chronological framework for these terraces is established here by integrating geomorphological, stratigraphical and archaeological information with ages from luminescence dating. Optically stimulated luminescence dating of K-feldspar, (involving the correction for anomalous fading of the luminescence signal), indicates that the younger terraces have a probable age range of: T5 — 31 to 40 ka; and T4 — 100 to ∼280 ka. We deduce that the related major fluvial changes are likely to have been as follows: ∼10 m of aggradation from ∼280 to 100 ka (0.06 m/ka); 14 m of incision from 100 to 40 ka (0.23 m/ka); 8 m of aggradation from 40 to 31 ka (0.89 m/ka); 16 m of incision during the last 31 ka (0.52 m/ka). These values indicate that the duration and rate of both aggradation and river downcutting episodes were variable. There is widespread evidence for neotectonic activity in this intraplate region. Neither eustatic nor climatic changes during the Quaternary provide clear trends that might explain the observed pattern of valley incision, thus we conclude that this tectonic activity is the most likely driving mechanism. In the study area, the probable age of the Tejo river sediments deposited before the beginning of valley incision allows the calculation of a time-averaged incision rate of ∼0.07 to 0.10 m/ka over the last ∼2.6 Ma. This long-term incision was probably determined by an increase in the relative uplift rate, resulting from the intensification of intraplate compressive stress. During the late Cenozoic fluvial incision stage, the Ródão depression underwent less uplift than the adjacent areas along the river, in which the Tejo has incised a narrow valley into basement rock, with almost no terrace development. Terrace formation was also promoted by soft bedrock (Tertiary arkoses) and by impoundment of alluvium behind resistant barriers crossed by the river. Geomorphological evidence for terrace tectonic offset was also supported by luminescence dating. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência do nível de bateria de unidades LED sem fio na intensidade de luz emitida e nas características de um cimento resinoso dual usado para cimentação de retentores reforçados por fibra de vidro. Primeiramente, a intensidade de luz das unidades LED sem fio (Bluephase G2 e Radii Xspert) foram verificadas em diferentes porcentagens de bateria (100%, 50% e 10%). Foram extraídos 60 incisivos bovinos, realizada a instrumentação dos canais radiculares e alívio dos canais. As raízes foram distribuídas aleatoriamente nos grupos experimentais (n=10) para a realização da cimentação dos retentores reforçados por fibra de vidro com cimento resinoso autoadesivo dual de acordo com os diferentes níveis de bateria e unidades LED. Esses espécimes foram seccionados em cortadeira de precisão, resultando em 2 discos para cada terço da raiz para serem submetidos ao teste de resistência de união por micro push-out (RU) e para análise do modo de falha. Foram confeccionados espécimes de cimento resinoso (n=5) para avaliação do grau de conversão (GC), simulando a influência de diferentes níveis de bateria de unidades LED no cimento resinoso nos diferentes terços radiculares. Os resultados de RU e GC foram analisados usando ANOVA 2-way (unidade LED e nível de bateria) com múltiplas repetições (terços radiculares) seguido de teste Tukey HSD (α=0,05). Foi observado que houve diminuição da intensidade de luz das unidades LED com a redução dos níveis de bateria. ANOVA mostrou influência significativa para todos os fatores isolados: unidade LED (P = 0,003), nível de bateria (P < 0,001) e terços (P < 0,001); e também para interação entre unidade e terços radiculares (P = 0,013). Não houve diferença para a interação entre unidade e bateria (P = 0,173), bateria e terço (P = 0,954), unidade, bateria e terço (P = 0,829). Os valores de RU foram significativamente menores para o terço apical para todos os grupos, ao contrário do terço cervical que apresentou os maiores valores. Os níveis de bateria 100% e 50% mostraram valores de RU significativamente mais altos do que o nível de bateria 10% para ambos os aparelhos em todos os terços. O modo de falha mais frequentemente observados nos espécimes foi a falha mista. Os resultados do GC não apresentaram diferenças significativas para todos os fatores e para interação entre eles, e a porcentagem do GC ultrapassou 60% para todas as situações. Pode-se concluir que a intensidade de luz emitida pelas unidades LED pode ser afetada pelo baixo nível de bateria das mesmas. Apesar de não ter influenciado no grau de conversão, afetou na resistência de união do cimento resinoso dual usado para fixação de retentores intraradiculares reforçados por fibra de vidro nos diferentes terços radiculares. A unidade LED polywave testada apresentou melhor desempenho para a resistência de união em todas as variáveis. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the battery level of different cordless LED units on the emitted light and characteristics of a dual cure resin cement used for luting fiber reinforced posts. First, the light characteristics of the two cordless LED units (Bluephase G2 e Radii Xspert) were checked for all light-curing cycles of the dfferent battery levels. Sixty bovine root canals were endodontically treated, the post spaces were prepared and the roots were randomly divided into the experimental groups (n=10). After surface treatment, the posts were cemented with a self-adhesive dual-cure resin cement, light-cured with different battery levels (100%; 50%; 10%) for the both LED units. Then, roots were sectioned and two disks were obtained from each root third to be submitted to the push-out bond strength test (PBS) and failure pattern analysis. Resin cement specimens (n=5) were obtained to evaluate degree of conversion (DC), simulating the influence of the distinct battery levels and LED units on the resin cement at the different root thirds. The PBS and DC data were analysed using a 2-way ANOVA (light curing unit and battery level) with repeated measures (root canal region) followed by Tukey HSD test (α=.05). The light intensity of the LED units decreased according to reduced battery levels. ANOVA showed significant influence for the all isolated factors: light curing unit (P = 0.003), battery level (P < 0.001) and root region (P < 0.001); and also for interaction between the light curing unit and root region factors (P = 0.013). No difference was found for interaction between light curing unit and battery level (P = 0.173), battery level and root region (P = 0.954), light curing unit, battery level and root region (P = 0.829). The root depth reduced significantly the PBS values for all the tested groups. The cervical region showed the highest PBS values while the apical region had the lowest values. The 100% and 50% battery levels showed significant higher PBS values than the 10% level for both LED units. Mixed failure mode was predominantly found for all groups. The DC showed no significant differences for all the factors, with the resin cement exceeding 60% for all the situations. The light characteristics of cordless LED units can be affected by low battery levels, and although the degree of conversion was not affected for this factor, it has influenced the bond strength. Cordless LED units should be kept with 50%-100% battery levels in order to achieve better properties for resin cements, thus reducing the risk of retention loss for glass fiber posts. The polywave light curing unit tested resulted in better performance for the bond strength in all variables. Dissertação (Mestrado)

RESUMO Objetivos: Este estudo objetivou avaliar a influência do nível de bateria de uma unidade de LED de amplo espectro na transmitância e grau de conversão de um cimento resinoso fotoativado, de fotoiniciadores alternativos, sob diferentes espessuras e translucidez cerâmicas, reforçadas por de dissilicato de lítio. Os comprimentos de onda fornecidos pela unidade de LED sob as diferentes condições também foram determinados. Materiais e métodos: foram produzidos quarenta discos cerâmicos de dissilicato de lítio de alta e baixa translucidez (IPS e.max Press HT e LT, cor A1), com 12 mm de diâmetro e espessuras variáveis (0,5 mm, 1,0 mm, 1,5 mm e 2,0 mm), divididos em grupos experimentais de acordo com a espessura e translucidez cerâmica (n = 5). Foram obtidas amostras de cimento resinoso (Variolink Esthetic LC, Neutral), com 3,9 mm de diâmetro e 1,0 mm de espessura para cada espessura e translucidez cerâmica em diferentes níveis de bateria (100%, 50%, 10%) da unidade de LED de amplo espectro (BluePhase G2). A análise da transmitância (T) e comprimentos de onda (C) entregues pela unidade LED nas diferentes condições foram determinadas usando um espectrômetro USB4000 referenciado pelo NIST, MARC (Bluelight Analytics Inc., Halifax, Canadá). Após armazenamento de 24 h, o grau de conversão (GC) dos espécimes de cimento resinoso fotoativados sob as diferentes condições foi avaliado em FTIR. Após verificada a homocedasticidade, os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância three-way, seguido do teste Tukey HSD (α = 0,05). Resultados: Nenhuma interação significativa foi detectada para o nível de bateria x espessura nas amostras HT (P = 0,265), apenas nas LT (P

CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior O sistema CAD/CAM na Odontologia é uma alternativa para a confecção de coroa totais cerâmicas. A adaptação marginal destas coroas depende da correta utilização do escâner, software e fresadora. O tipo do material cerâmico selecionado para a fabricação das coroas no sistema CAD/CAM, pode influenciar na qualidade final da adaptação marginal. Sabe -se que a seleção do material cerâmico é realizada considerando as propriedades mecânicas físicas e óticas e a região a ser reabilitada, porém identificar materiais que trazem melhor adaptação pode ser mais um fator importante nesta seleção (Capitulo 1). Além disso, novas tecnologias de aquisição de dados de diferentes escâneres podem impactar na adaptação marginal e o uso de técnicas devem ser estudadas para minimizar esta influência (Capitulo 2). Por fim, a variação dos parâmetros definidos no software, como o espaço de cimentação, determina a precisão de assentamento marginal e interno da coroa. Por consequência, a adaptação interna está correlacionada ao espaço ocupado pelo cimento resinoso e a variação deste pode influenciar a quantidade de cimento e fragilizar a restauração devido a contração de polimerização e deformação da coroa. Além disso, fatores relacionados com a espessura das cerâmicas, podem atenuar a irradiância e o comprimento de onda, que altera o padrão de polimerização e deformação da coroa (Capítulo 3). Portanto, o equilíbrio entre a utilização adequada da tecnologia do escâner, parâmetros do software, espessura do cimento resinoso e do material cerâmico devem ser consideradas para se obter boa adaptação marginal e interna das coroas. CAD / CAM system in dentistry is an alternative to obtain all-ceramic crowns. The marginal adaptation of these crowns depends on the correct use of the scanner, software and milling machine. The type of ceramic material selected CAD / CAM crowns could influence the marginal adaptation. It is known that the selection of the ceramic material is carried out considering physical and optical properties and a region to be rehabilitated, but identifying the materials that bring the best fit may be another factor (Chapter 1). In addition, new data acquisition technologies of different scanners could minimize the marginal adaptation (Chapter 2). Finally, the range of the luting space parameters determines the degree of marginal and internal seating of the crown. Consequently, an internal fit is correlated to the space occupied by the resin cement and a variation could influence a quantity of cement and a crown resistance. In addition, the ceramics thickness could attenuate the irradiation and the wavelength, which alter the polymerization and deformation of the crown (Chapter 3). Therefore, the balance between the use of scanner technology, software, resin resin thickness and ceramic material should be considered to have a crowns with good marginal and internal fit.

Orientadores: Marcelo Giannini, Mario Alexandre Coelho Sinhoreti Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Odontologia de Piracicaba Resumo: O objetivo neste presente estudo foi descrever um método de síntese de nanocristais ?-NaYF4:30%Yb,0.5%Tm com propriedades de fluorescência por upconversion (UC), em comprimentos de onda específicos para ativação de fotoiniciadores de uso odontológico quando irradiados por um laser infravermelho (IR), para indução de conversão monomérica de materiais restauradores odontológicos fotoativados. No primeiro capítulo deste estudo, um método de síntese para nanocristais-? foi descrito, utilizando diferentes reagentes químicos e temperatura controlada a diferentes períodos para crescimento dos cristais. Em seguida, um método de purificação, utilizando banhos consecutivos de etanol e clorofórmio, foi determinado, resultando em um pó branco. A caracterização morfológica dos cristais sintetizados foi realizada por meio de microscopia eletrônica de varredura (SEM) e Microscopia Eletrônica de Transmissão (TEM), enquanto a composição foi determinada por meio de Espectroscopia por Energia Dispersiva de Raios-X (EDX). O espectro de emissão dos nanocristais quando excitados por um laser IR de 975 nm a 1 W foi avaliado por meio de espectrofotometria com uma configuração calibrada, utilizando um espectrofotômetro de 350-900 nm associado a um cabo de fibra óptica de 450 ?m e um sensor (n = 5). Os nanocristais obtidos foram observados como dispersos, de tamanho uniforme de 200nm e de única fase cristalina (hexagonal). O espectro de emissão através de UC foi observado a 365 nm, 450 nm, 475 nm, 650 nm e 800nm, quando os cristais foram expostos a um laser IR de 975 nm. Para o segundo capítulo, a transmissão de IR através de diferentes substratos odontológicos, quando comparada a luz azul, foi analisada por meio de um radiômetro. Uma abertura customizada foi impressa em termopolímero branco (ABS) e posicionada sobre o sensor, permitindo que a energia que era transmitida através dos diferentes materiais (n = 5) fosse detectada em uma determinada área. Análise de variância de três fatores demonstrou uma transmissão do laser IR estatisticamente maior para esmalte, resinas com partículas de fibra e cerâmicas de baixa translucidez, quando comparada à luz azul. Para o terceiro capítulo, os nanocristais foram incorporados a uma resina sem carga (Bis-GMA e TEGDMA) em diferentes concentrações (15%, 30% e 60% em peso) seguido da análise do espectro de emissão, do liner UC resultante, utilizando configuração similar de espectrofotometria (n = 5). Interposições de tecidos dentários e compósitos em diferentes espessuras foram posicionados entre a fonte de luz e o sensor, para determinar a eficiência no efeito de UC através de diferentes substratos (n = 5). A influência da emissão espectral do liner UC sobre o grau de conversão de uma resina fotoativada por luz azul (apenas) foi determinada por meio de Espectroscopia Transformada de Infravermelho de Fourier (FTIr) (n = 5). Os mesmos substratos do segundo capítulo foram interpostos de forma a determinar a influência da emissão gerada através de UC em situações clínicas. Uma concentração ideal de partículas foi definida em 30%. A emissão espectral foi reduzida por diferentes interposições, influenciando a cinética de polimerização de uma resina fotoativada por luz azul. No entanto, a análise de variância (p < 0.01) demonstrou que a emissão UC foi suficiente para induzir conversão monomérica em todos grupos avaliados através de FTIr. Em conclusão, a transmissão de IR através de diferentes substratos odontológicos foi suficiente para excitar nanocristais sintetizados de ?-NaYF4:30%Yb,0.5%Tm, resultando em um efeito UC suficiente para induzir conversão monomérica em um material resinoso fotoativado por luz azul Abstract: The aim of this study was to describe the synthesis route of ?-NaYF4:30%Yb,0.5%Tm nanocrystals with upconverting (UC) spectral emission, on wavelengths optimal for activation of Dental photoinitiators when irradiated by infrared (IR) laser, in order to induce monomeric conversion of light-curable dental restorative materials. For the first chapter of this study, a method for ?-nanocrystals synthesis was described, using different chemicals and controlled temperature for crystal growth. Following, a purification method, using consecutive baths of ethanol and chloroform, have been determined, resulting in a white powder. Morphological characterization of resulting nanocrystals was performed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (SEM), while composition was determined by Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX). Spectral emission of UC nanocrystals once exposed to a 1 W IR 975 nm laser was evaluated by a calibrated configuration for spectrophotometry, using a 350-900 nm spectrophotometer associated to a 450 ?m optical fiber cable and cosine corrector (n = 5). Nanocrystals of ?-NaYF4:30%Yb,0.5%Tm were obtained from synthesis confirming uniform size of 200nm, well-dispersed and single-phase (hexagonal) nanocrystals. Spectral UC emission was observed at 365 nm, 450 nm, 475 nm, 650 nm and 800 nm, once irradiated by 975 nm IR laser. For the second chapter, the transmission of IR through different dental substrates, when compared to blue light, was analyzed by using a thermopile, connected to a radiometer. A custom aperture was 3D-printed in white thermopolymer (ABS) and placed over the thermopile, allowing energy that was transmitted through dental tissues, composites and ceramics (n = 5) to be detected at a specific area. Analysis of variance (p < 0.01) determined that transmission of IR was significantly higher for enamel, fiber-reinforced composites and reduced translucency ceramics, when compared to blue light. For the third chapter, nanocrystals were incorporated to an unfilled resin (Bis-GMA and TEGDMA) at different concentrations (15%, 30% and 60%wt) and spectral emission of resulting UC liner was calculated using similar configuration of spectrophotometry (n = 5). Interpositions of dental tissues and composites at different thicknesses were placed between light source and cosine corrector, in order to determine the UC efficiency through different substrates (n = 5). The influence of the UC liner spectral emission on the degree of conversion of a blue-light curable resin was determined by Fourier Transformed IR (FTIr) spectroscopy (n = 5). Same substrates were interposed in order to determine the influence of UC emission at clinically relevant situations. Optimal concentration of UC nanocrystals was determined at 30%. Spectral emission was reduced by different interpositions, influencing the kinetic of cure of a blue-light curable resin. Furthermore, analysis of variance determined that UC emission was sufficient to induce monomeric conversion at all evaluated FTIr groups. In conclusion, IR light transmission through different dental substrates was sufficient to excite synthetized NaYF4:30%Yb,0.5%Tm nanocrystals, resulting in a UC effect that induced monomeric conversion of a blue-light curable resin based material Doutorado Materiais Dentários Doutor em Materiais Dentários CAPES 3110/2010, A043/2013

The syntheses of the heterometallic sodium and potassium-dioxidovanadium 2D polymers, [NaVO 2 (1κN OO' ;2κ O"- L)(H 2 O)] n (1) and [KVO 2 (1κN OO' ;2κ O' ;3κ O"- L)(EtOH)] n (2) (where the κ notation indicates the coordinating atoms of the polydentate ligand L) derived from (3,5-di- tert -butyl-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide (H 2 L) are reported. The polymers were characterized by IR, NMR, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The antiproliferative potential of 1 and 2 was examined towards four human cancer cell lines (ovarian carcinoma, A2780, colorectal carcinoma, HCT116, prostate carcinoma, PC3 and breast adenocarcinoma, MCF-7cell lines) and normal human fibroblasts. Complex 1 and 2 showed the highest cytotoxic activity against A2780 cell line (IC 50 8.2 and 11.3 μM, respectively) with 1 > 2 and an IC 50 in the same range as cisplatin (IC 50 3.4 μM; obtained in the same experimental conditions) but, interestingly, with no cytotoxicity to healthy human fibroblasts for concentrations up to 75 μM. This high cytotoxicity of 1 in ovarian cancer cells and its low cytotoxicity in healthy cells demonstrates its potential for further biological studies. Our results suggest that both complexes induce ovarian carcinoma cell death via apoptosis and autophagy, but autophagy is the main biological cause of the reduction of viability observed and that ROS (reactive oxygen species) may play an important role in triggering cell death. The antiproliferative potential of heterometallic sodium and potassium-dioxidovanadium 2D polymers derived from aroylhydrazone ligand was examined towards A2780, a human ovarian carcinoma cell line. The sodium-dioxidovanadium polymer exhibits high cytotoxicity towards ovarian cancer cells.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico Non carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are routine findings in clinical practice and are described as the loss of tooth tissue close to the cementum enamel junction. NCCLs have multifactorial etiology with main factors involved are stress, biocorrosion and friction. The different associations of these factors can lead to the weakening of the tooth structure in the cervical region, generating NCCLs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of etiologic factors (stress, biocorrosion and friction) on the microstructural formation of NCCLs, using finite element analysis, laser confocal microscopy and computed microtomography (micro-CT). Two three dimensional (3D), linear and elastic models of mandibular premolars were generated for stress distribution evaluation, using the finite element analysis (FEA). Two oblique loadings (50 N), were applied on the buccal cusp slope of the model. The occlusal loading (CO) was applied on the grinding region of the buccal cusp and the buccal loading (CV) on the smooth region of the same cusp. Both loads were applied at 45̊ to the tooth long axis, simulating mandibular excursive movements. The displacement restriction was applied on the base and lateral surface of the model and the results were analyzed by the maximum principal criteria. Then, for analysis by confocal microscopy, forty intact human mandibular premolars were selected and allocated randomly into four groups, according to the factor association type (n=10): (TB) stress-biocorrosion, (TF) stress-friction, (BF) biocorrosion-friction, and (TBF) stress-biocorrosion-friction. In each group, the challenges were performed in an alternate way. The stress was simulated by cyclic fatigue loading, with specimens positioned in mechanical fatigue machine and subjected to oblique load (50N), on the smooth region of the buccal cusp for 6 x 105 cycles. The biocorrosive challenge was performed using the application of hydrochloric acid (2mL/10s). The friction (abrasion) was reproduced by using electric/powered toothbrushes (300g/20s), with Colgate Total 12 toothpaste. The roughness surface, angle and height of steps were measured before and after the treatments, using a 3D laser confocal microscope. The data were analyzed using the paired t-test, two-way analysis of variance and Tukey s test (α=0.05). Then, three specimens of each group were taken to a micro-CT for the qualitative analyses. The CV loading promoted higher concentration of tensile stress in the cervical region compared to CO. The presence of biocorrosion was an important factor to roughness changes and abrasion promoted similar behavior among the groups. The TBF association promoted the greatest alterations in tooth structures. Enamel and dentin showed distinct performance according to the different interactions. The FEA results presented relationship with the experimental findings for TF,TB, TBF groups. The TBF was the more influent association on the microstructural formation of NCCLs, for enamel. For dentin, the association of at least two factors was sufficient to generate significant tissue degradation. All studied associations of etiological factors showed potential to promote NCCLs formation. As lesões cervicais não cariosas (LCNCs) são achados rotineiros na prática clínica odontológica e são descritas como a perda de tecido dentário próximo à junção amelo cementária (JAC). Essas lesões apresentam etiologia multifatorial e tem como principais fatores envolvidos nesse processo tensão, biocorrosão e fricção. As associações desses fatores levam ao enfraquecimento da estrutura dental na região cervical, promovendo o surgimento de LCNCs. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito das associações de fatores etiológicos (tensão, biocorrosão e fricção) na formação microestrutural de LCNCs, empregando método de elementos finitos (MEF), microscopia confocal a laser e microtomografia computadorizada (micro-CT). Dois modelos tridimensionais (3D), lineares e elásticos de pré-molares inferiores foram gerados para análise do padrão de distribuição de tensões na região cervical, pelo método de elementos finitos (MEF). Dois tipos de cargas de 50N, foram aplicadas obliquamente a cúspide vestibular do modelo. A carga oclusal (CO), foi aplicada na vertente triturante da cúspide vestibular e a carga vestibular (CV), na vertente lisa da mesma cúspide. As cargas foram posicionadas a 45º do longo do eixo do dente, e simularam interferências oclusais nos movimentos excursivos da mandíbula. A restrição do deslocamento foi realizada na base e laterais do modelo e a análise dos resultados conduzida por meio do critério de Tensão Máxima Principal. Para a análise por microscopia confocal, quarenta pré-molares inferiores humanos hígidos foram selecionados e distribuídos aleatoriamente em quatro grupos, de acordo com as seguintes associações de fatores (n=10): tensão-biocorrosão (TB), tensão-fricção (TF), e biocorrosão-fricção (BF) e tensão-biocorrosão-fricção (TBF). Para cada grupo, os desafios foram realizados de forma alternada. A tensão foi simulada por meio de ciclagem mecânica, com os espécimes posicionados em máquina de fadiga cíclica e submetidos a carregamentos oblíquos de 50N, na frequência de 2Hz, na vertente lisa e na vertente triturante da face vestibular, por 6 x 105 ciclos. Os desafios biocorrosivos foram realizados pela aplicação de 2mL de ácido hidroclorídrico por 10s. E os desafios de fricção (abrasão) foram reproduzidos com escovas elétricas (300g / 20s), com a utlização de pasta Colgate Total 12. A rugosidade da superfície, ângulo e altura dos degraus foram medidos antes e após os tratamentos, utilizando microscópio confocal a laser 3D. Para avaliação da distribuição e homogeineidade dos dados, foram realizados os testes de Shapiro Wilk e Levene. E posteriormente, aplicados o teste t-pareado, análise de variância em fator (ANOVA) e teste de Tukey (α = 0,05). Em seguida, três amostras de cada grupo foram analisadas no micro-CT para as análises qualitativas de perda estrutural. O CV promoveu maior concentração de tensões de tração na região cervical do que o CO. A presença da biocorrosão foi fator importante na alteração de rugosidade e a abrasão resultou em comportamento semelhante entre os grupos. A associação TBF promoveu as maiores alterações nas estruturas dentais. Esmalte e dentina mostraram desempenho distinto de acordo com as diferentes interações. Foi verificada relação entre os resultados gerados pelo MEF e os achados experimentais para os grupos TF, TBF, TB. O grupo TBF foi mais influente na formação microestrutural das LCNCs, para esmalte. Para dentina, a associação de pelo menos dois fatores foi suficiente para gerar degradação significativa de tecido na região cervical. Todos as associações de fatores estudadas mostraram potencial para promover a formação de LCNCs. Mestre em Odontologia
