The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of low-level laser therapy (λ=660 nm), with three different irradiation times, on the behavior of OD-21 cell line. The cells were cultivated and divided into three groups: non-irradiated/control (group I); irradiated with 88 s (group II); irradiated with 177 s (group III) and irradiated with 265 s (group IV). Cell growth and viability were assessed after 7 and 10 days. Data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests (α=.05). At day 7, there was a higher cell growth in groups I and II, as compared to group IV (p<.01). At the 10th day, group I showed a higher cell growth as compared to group II (p<.05). Cell viability in group IV was significantly lower at the 7th day, as compared to groups I (p<.001), II (p<.01) and III (p<.001). Cell viability in all the groups was over 80%, except in group IV at day 7. Irradiation time of group I influenced positively the proliferation and viability of OD-21 cells in late cell culture period. \u0000Keywords: Low-Level Laser Therapy. Cell Culture.

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a influencia do laser de baixa intensidade (λ=660 nm), com tres periodos de irradiacao diferentes, no comportamento das celulas da linhagem OD-21. As celulas foram cultivadas e distribuidas em tres grupos: nao irradiado / controle (grupo I); irradiado com 88 s (grupo II); irradiado com 177 s (grupo III) e irradiado com 265 s (grupo IV). O crescimento e a viabilidade celular foram avaliados apos 7 e 10 dias. Os dados foram analisados pelos testes de Kruskal-Wallis e Mann-Whitney (α = 0,05). No dia 7, houve crescimento celular maior nos grupos I e II, em comparacao ao grupo IV (p <0,01). No decimo dia, o grupo I apresentou crescimento celular superior ao grupo II (p <0,05).

To obtain the best properties of the material, the resins must have their polymerization reaction initiated by means of the light-curing device, which activates the photoinitiators present in the composites. For this process to occur in the desired way, it is essential that the light-curing device emits light at the intensity necessary to properly activate the photoinitiators. Thus, a pilot study was carried out to assess the light intensity emitted by the light-curing devices used in a school clinic. To assess the light intensity emitted by the devices, a radiometer was used. Twenty-four light-curing devices were evaluated, 13 Optilight Max devices, 8 Optilight LD MAX 440 devices, 3 Emitter C. devices. All the devices had an emitted light below 400 mW / cm² and 67% of the devices had intensity above 300 mW/cm². The average light emission values of the light-curing devices were Optilight Max 334mW/cm², Emitter C 275mW/cm², Optilight LD MAX 440 296mW/cm². It was concluded that no light-curing device emitted light at the recommended intensity (400 mW/cm²), two thirds of the devices emitted light in intensity above the minimum required for photopolymerization of composite resin increments of up to 2mm and one third emitted light in intensity below the required minimum. There was no difference among the light-curing device models tested in this study. \u0000Keywords: Photoinitiators, Dental. Dental. Tooth.

The addition of some nanoparticles promotes antimicrobial action. This study incorporated the nanostructured silver vanadate decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgVO3) to the acrylic resin by two methods and evaluated the cytotoxicity for human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and the released silver and vanadium ions. The concentrations of 0.5, 1, 2.5, and 5% of AgVO3 was incorporated by vacuum spatulation and polymeric film. The vacuum spatulation was performed for 60 s using the Turbomix equipment, and the polymeric film was obtained from the polymer solubilization in chloroform, the film was subjected to a cryogenic grinding, and the powder obtained was manually mixed at the monomer. HGF cell viability was assessed after 24 hours, 7 and 14 days by the MTT assay. The release of silver (Ag) and vanadium (V) ions were quantified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry after 30 days. Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn’s test were applied (α = 0.05). The HGF viability was inversely proportional to the incubation time. Both incorporation techniques and the negative and positive control groups presented significant statistical differences (p 0.05), except the vacuum spatulation group with 5% of AgVO3 that showed greater viability than the negative control (p=0.013) in 24 hours. The release of Ag and V ions was proportional to the concentration of AgVO3 The 5% group presented a significant difference compared to the other groups (p<0.05). In conclusion, the acrylic resin with and without the AgVO3 incorporation had a small cytotoxic potential for HGF in 24 hours, with a lower viability in longer contact times; the release of Ag and V ions was proportional to the concentration of AgVO3, not influencing cell viability. \u0000Keywords: Acrylic Resins.

The study samples were asthma patients aged over 15 years old who attended the hospital during October 2009 to September 2010. Data were collected through interviews using a set of questionnaire and an asthma assessment tool (asthma control test). Data were analyzed using chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. There were 365 asthma patients participated in the study. It was found that 16 patients (4.38%) were classified as keeping asthma under control; 160 patients (43.84%) whose asthma condition was partially under controlled and 189 patients (51.78%) whose asthma condition was not under control. Factors associated with the ability to control the disease were (1) having family history of asthma (adjusted OR 2.2 95%CI 1.2, 4.0), (2) non-availability of bronchodilator inhaler (adjusted OR 0.3 95% CI 0.1, 0.5), (3) expose to incense smoke (adjusted OR 2.0 95% CI 1.1, 3.6), (4) expose to cold weather (adjusted OR 3.1 95% CI 1.8, 5.3), and (5) expose to smoke from cooking (adjusted OR 2.1 95% CI 1.2, 3.8). Results of this study indicated that asthma patients had capability to control asthma at low level. Thus it was recommended that health personnel at primary care units should conduct more frequent home visit to all asthma patients to monitor self-care practice and control exposure to environmental pollutants. For health care facilities, it was recommended to assess pulmonary function periodically in order to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and to improve the care of asthma patients.

There are several factors related to its etiology, the most common is the altered passive eruption of anterior superior teeth. To correct this disharmony, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary, and the treatment plan depends on a correct diagnosis and assessment for a better prognosis. The present study aims to describe a clinical case where periodontal surgical techniques were used to correct this condition. Female patient, 25 years old, with aesthetic complaint of the amount of gum exposed when smiling and diagnosed with altered passive eruption. Clinical crown augmentation surgery was performed on the anterior superior teeth. After 1 and 2 years, periodontal clinical parameters (probing bleeding, probing depth, clinical attachment level, crown length, keratinized mucosa width and plaque index) were reassessed, through clinical examination, digital photographic monitoring and measurement tools. In two years, it was possible to note the stability of the results achieved, maintaining values similar to those of the immediate postoperative period. The case report confirmed the success of the clinical crown augmentation surgery and the periodontal parameters stability evaluated after 2 years. \u0000Keywords: Periodontics Surgery. Gingivectomy.

Eighteen young adult men (age: 21.5 ± 2.7 years) were randomized into two groups (Citrulline malate - CIT and Placebo - PLA; N = 9/group ) and received the respective supplements for 7 days. The CIT group was supplemented with 6 g CIT + 6 g dextrose (total: 12 g), while the PLA group received the same amount (12 g) of dextrose. At the pre- and post-supplementation, the following variables were analyzed: aerobic (maximal treadmill test, Tmax) and muscle (repetitions maximum test, Rmax) endurance tests, as well as mean and maximum heart rate (HR) in Tmax and ratings of perceived exertion (PSE) in Rmax. No significant (P > 0.05) differences were found between CIT and PLA groups in time until exhaustion in Tmax, total repetitions in Rmax, maximal HR and PSE from pre- to post-supplementation. The mean HR was statistically lower (P < 0.05) in the CIT group compared to the PLA in the Tmax. In conclusion, supplementation of CIT (6 g / day) does not improve aerobic and muscular endurance, as well as maximal HR or PSE in healthy young adults, despite reducing the mean HR during the maximal incremental test. \u0000Keywords: Endurance Training.

Em um desenho experimental randomizado, duplo-cego e controlado com placebo, dezoito homens adultos jovens (idade: 21,5 ± 2,7 anos) foram randomizados em dois grupos (Citrulina malato – CIT e Placebo – PLA; N = 9/grupo) e receberam os respectivos suplementos por um periodo de 7 dias. O grupo CIT foi suplementado com 6 g de CIT + 6 g de dextrose (total: 12 g), enquanto o grupo PLA recebeu a mesma quantidade (12 g) de dextrose. Nos momentos pre e pos suplementacao as seguintes variaveis foram analisadas: resistencia aerobia (teste incremental maximo em esteira rolante, Tmax) e muscular (teste de repeticoes maximas, Rmax), bem como a frequencia cardiaca (FC) media e maxima no Tmax e a analise da percepcao subjetiva de esforco (PSE) no Rmax. Nenhuma diferenca significante (P > 0,05) foi encontrada entre os grupos CIT e PLA no tempo ate a exaustao no Tmax, total de repeticoes no Rmax, FC maxima e PSE do momento pre para o pos suplementacao. A FC media foi estatisticamente (P < 0,05) menor no grupo CIT comparado ao PLA no Tmax. Em conclusao, a suplementacao de CIT (6 g/dia) nao melhora a resistencia aerobica e muscular, bem como a FC maxima ou PSE em adultos jovens saudaveis, apesar de reduzir a FC media durante o teste incremental maximo. \u0000Palavras-chave: Treino Aerobico.
