Dysbiotic oral microbiota contributes to alveolar bone loss associated with obesity in mice

Periodontal diseases (PD) are inflammatory conditions that affect the teeth supporting tissues. Increased body fat tissues may contribute to activation of the systemic inflammatory response, leading to comorbidities. Some studies have shown that individuals with obesity present higher incidence of PD than eutrophics. Objective: To investigate the impact of obesity on periodontal tissues and oral microbiota in mice. Methodology: Two obesity mice models were performed, one using 12 weeks of the dietary protocol with a high-fat (HF) diet in C57BL/6 mice and the other using leptin receptor-deficient mice (db/db-/-), which became spontaneously obese. After euthanasia, a DNA-DNA hybridization technique was employed to evaluate the microbiota composition and topical application of chlorhexidine (CHX), an antiseptic, was used to investigate the impact of the oral microbiota on the alveolar bone regarding obesity. Results: Increased adipose tissue may induce alveolar bone loss, neutrophil recruitment, and changes in the oral biofilm, similar to that observed in an experimental model of PD. Topical application of CHX impaired bone changes. Conclusion: Obesity may induce changes in the oral microbiota and neutrophil recruitment, which are associated with alveolar bone loss

Sementes de milho tratada: substratos e metodologia alternativa para o teste de germinação / Treated corn seeds: substrates and alternative methodology for germination test

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a utilização de substratos e metodologias alternativas para a execução do teste de germinação em sementes milho tratadas com agroquímicos. Utilizaram-se sementes de milho, safra 2015/2016, com germinação igual ou superior a 90%e teor de água médio de 12,5%. As sementes foram submetidas a quatro tratamentos químicos (Cruiser® 350 FS; Avicta Completo, Standak Top e Crop Star). Após foram montados os testes para avaliação do potencial germinativo das sementes x tratamentos x substratos. Dessa forma, conclui-se que o substrato mais indicado para instalação do teste de germinação em milho depende do tipo de produto e ingrediente ativo do tratamento de sementes. A utilização da vermiculita para o teste de germinação em sementes de milho tratadas mostrou-se como uma alternativa viável, devido à interferência positiva nos tratamentos conduzidos com a mesma. A temperatura de 30°C possibilita o desenvolvimento mais uniforme e rápido de plântulas normais no teste de germinação em sementes de milho tratadas e sem tratamento. O aumento de plântulas normais em sementes tratadas está relacionado ao ingrediente bioativo que colaboram para um melhor e rápido desenvolvimento inicial.

Multidifferential study of identified charged hadron distributions in ZZ-tagged jets in proton-proton collisions at s=\sqrt{s}=13 TeV

Jet fragmentation functions are measured for the first time in proton-proton collisions for charged pions, kaons, and protons within jets recoiling against a $Z$ boson. The charged-hadron distributions are studied longitudinally and transversely to the jet direction for jets with transverse momentum 20 $< p_{\textrm{T}} < 100$ GeV and in the pseudorapidity range $2.5 < \eta < 4$. The data sample was collected with the LHCb experiment at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.64 fb$^{-1}$. Triple differential distributions as a function of the hadron longitudinal momentum fraction, hadron transverse momentum, and jet transverse momentum are also measured for the first time. This helps constrain transverse-momentum-dependent fragmentation functions. Differences in the shapes and magnitudes of the measured distributions for the different hadron species provide insights into the hadronization process for jets predominantly initiated by light quarks.Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2022-013.html (LHCb public pages

Study of the B−→Λc+Λˉc−K−B^{-} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{\Lambda}_{c}^{-} K^{-} decay

The decay $B^{-} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{\Lambda}_{c}^{-} K^{-}$ is studied in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment. In the $\Lambda_{c}^+ K^{-}$ system, the $\Xi_{c}(2930)^{0}$ state observed at the BaBar and Belle experiments is resolved into two narrower states, $\Xi_{c}(2923)^{0}$ and $\Xi_{c}(2939)^{0}$, whose masses and widths are measured to be $$m(\Xi_{c}(2923)^{0}) = 2924.5 \pm 0.4 \pm 1.1 \,\mathrm{MeV}, \\ m(\Xi_{c}(2939)^{0}) = 2938.5 \pm 0.9 \pm 2.3 \,\mathrm{MeV}, \\ \Gamma(\Xi_{c}(2923)^{0}) = \phantom{000}4.8 \pm 0.9 \pm 1.5 \,\mathrm{MeV},\\ \Gamma(\Xi_{c}(2939)^{0}) = \phantom{00}11.0 \pm 1.9 \pm 7.5 \,\mathrm{MeV},$$ where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The results are consistent with a previous LHCb measurement using a prompt $\Lambda_{c}^{+} K^{-}$ sample. Evidence of a new $\Xi_{c}(2880)^{0}$ state is found with a local significance of $3.8\,\sigma$, whose mass and width are measured to be $2881.8 \pm 3.1 \pm 8.5\,\mathrm{MeV}$ and $12.4 \pm 5.3 \pm 5.8 \,\mathrm{MeV}$, respectively. In addition, evidence of a new decay mode $\Xi_{c}(2790)^{0} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} K^{-}$ is found with a significance of $3.7\,\sigma$. The relative branching fraction of $B^{-} \to \Lambda_{c}^{+} \bar{\Lambda}_{c}^{-} K^{-}$ with respect to the $B^{-} \to D^{+} D^{-} K^{-}$ decay is measured to be $2.36 \pm 0.11 \pm 0.22 \pm 0.25$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third originates from the branching fractions of charm hadron decays.Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2022-028.html (LHCb public pages

Measurement of the ratios of branching fractions R(D∗)\mathcal{R}(D^{*}) and R(D0)\mathcal{R}(D^{0})

The ratios of branching fractions $\mathcal{R}(D^{*})\equiv\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}\to D^{*}\tau^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\tau})/\mathcal{B}(\bar{B}\to D^{*}\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu})$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^{0})\equiv\mathcal{B}(B^{-}\to D^{0}\tau^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\tau})/\mathcal{B}(B^{-}\to D^{0}\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu})$ are measured, assuming isospin symmetry, using a sample of proton-proton collision data corresponding to 3.0 fb${ }^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity recorded by the LHCb experiment during 2011 and 2012. The tau lepton is identified in the decay mode $\tau^{-}\to\mu^{-}\nu_{\tau}\bar{\nu}_{\mu}$. The measured values are $\mathcal{R}(D^{*})=0.281\pm0.018\pm0.024$ and $\mathcal{R}(D^{0})=0.441\pm0.060\pm0.066$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The correlation between these measurements is $\rho=-0.43$. Results are consistent with the current average of these quantities and are at a combined 1.9 standard deviations from the predictions based on lepton flavor universality in the Standard Model.Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2022-039.html (LHCb public pages

Interaction between glutamate and nitric oxide in defensive reactions mediated by the dorsolateral periaqueductal gray matter of rats

A administração de glutamato na substância cinzenta periaquedutal dorsolateral (SCPdl) produz reações de fuga. Uma das conseqüências da ativação de receptores NMDA pelo glutamato é o influxo de cálcio, ocorrendo ativação da enzima sintase do óxido nítrico (NOS) e conseqüente formação do óxido nítrico (NO). Neurônios que contém a enzima NOS estão localizados na SCPdl. A administração de inibidores da NOS nesta região produz efeitos ansiolíticos, enquanto doadores de NO como o SIN-1, induzem reações de fuga. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi testar a hipótese de que as respostas de fuga promovidas pela administração de um doador de NO ou de um agonista de rNMDA na SCPdl, dependem da formação de NO endógeno. Utilizaram-se ratos Wistar machos com cânulas direcionadas à SCPdl. Os animais receberam injeções de salina, L-NAME (inibidor da NOS, 100-200 nmoles), carboxy-PTIO (1-3 nmoles, seqüestrador de NO) ou ODQ (inibidor de guanilato ciclase, 1-3 nmoles) seguidas de SIN-1 (150 nmoles, doador de NO) ou NMDA (0,1 nmol, agonista NMDA). A análise das alterações comportamentais e a medida da distância percorrida foram realizadas em uma caixa de observação ou em uma arena circular. Realizou-se também uma curva-dose resposta para a administração intra-SCPdl do ODQ no Labirinto em Cruz Elevado (LCE). O pré-tratamento com o L-NAME não foi capaz de inibir a reação de fuga promovida pelo SIN-1. Esses resultados sugerem que o efeito promovido pelo doador de NO, injetado na SCPdl, não depende da formação de NO endógeno. A microinjeção de NMDA promoveu reação de fuga caracterizada por um aumento no número de cruzamentos e pulos no interior da caixa de injeção. O pré-tratamento com drogas que inibem a neurotransmissão nitrérgica, como o L-NAME, Carboxy-PTIO ou ODQ, não modificaram a resposta de fuga promovida pela administração de NMDA. Entretanto, o ODQ (1 nmol/0,2 &micro;l) administrado na SCPdl aumentou a porcentagem de entradas nos braços abertos no LCE. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que a ativação da via NO/GC/GMPc não é essencial para as respostas defensivas desencadeadas pela administração de NMDA ou SIN-1 na SCPdl. Entretanto, os resultados obtidos com o ODQ no LCE, confirmam o possível envolvimento dessa via na modulação de respostas defensivas frente a estímulos ameaçadores naturais.Intra-dorsolateral periaqueductal gray matter (dlPAG) administration of glutamate induces flight reactions. The enzyme neuronal nitric oxide sintase (nNOS) is intimately linked to NMDA receptors and is activated by calcium influx through these receptors. nNOS positive neurons are located in dlPAG. Administration of NOS inhibitors into this region induces anxiolytic-like effects in the EPM whereas NO-donors produce defensive reactions characterized by wild running and jumps. To test the hypothesis that the defensive reactions induced by intra-dlPAG injection of SIN-1, a nitric oxide (NO) donor, or NMDA involve endogenous NO formation, male Wistar rats with cannulas aimed at the dlPAG received intra-cerebral injections of the following treatments: L-NAME (NOS inhibitor, 100-200 nmol), carboxy-PTIO (NO scavenger, 1-3 nmol) or ODQ (guanilate ciclase inhibitor 1-3 nmol), followed, 10 min later, by SIN1 (NO donor, 150 nmol) or NMDA (0.1 nmol, NMDA agonist). The behavioral observations and distance moved were recorded in the injection box or in an open arena. ln addition, the effects of intra-dlPAG administration of ODQ in the elevated plus maze (E.P.M.) were evaluated. L-NAME pre-treatment did not prevent flight reactions induced by SIN-1 in the open arena, suggesting that NO donor effects in the dlPAG are not dependent on endogenous formation of NO. Intra-dlP AG injection of NMDA produced flight reactions characterized by wild cross and jumps in the box injection. These effects were not prevented by pre-treatment with L-NAME, carboxy-PTIO or ODQ. ODQ (1 nmol), increased the percentage of open arm entries in the E.P.M. Together these results suggest that endogenous activation of the NO/guanilate cyclase/GMPc pathway is not essential for defensives reactions induced by exogenous administration of NMDA or SIN-1 into the dlPAG. Results obtained with ODQ in the E.P.M., however, confirm the possible involvement of this pathway in modulation of defensive responses to natural threatening stimuli

Behavioural alterations provoked by prolonged calcitonin administration in rats

Present work investigated the effect of prolonged administration of salmon calcitonin, a hormone secreted by parafollicular cells from thyroid, on behavioural parameters of rats. Animals received calcitonin sc, 100 mUI/100 g of body weight, three times a week, during 50 days. Behaviour was assessed utilizing an Open Field, Elevated Plus-Maze and Hole Board apparatus. Calcitonin treatment in rats seems to modify open field and elevated plus maze behaviour, suggesting emotionality and anxiety state alterations of the animals. These conditions can be provoked due to the direct calcitonin action on its receptors, even though we do not exclude an action mediated by tissue calcium level alterations
