    Trabalho de conclusão de curso (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Economia, Administração e Contabilidade, Departamento de Administração, 2017.Esse estudo tem como objetivo analisar quais são as influências que os valores de uma denominação fundamentalista exerce sobre suas escolas. Para tanto, determinou-se a Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia como denominação a ser analisada e para coleta de dados escolheu-se a maior escola adventista do Distrito Federal, Colégio Adventista Milton Afonso (CEAMA). Depois de uma explanação para definir corretamente o que é fundamentalismo segundo a literatura acadêmica, serão apresentados várias maneiras de como os princípios religiosos estão presentes na instituição estudada. Nessa investigação foi utilizado o método da pesquisa qualitativa, e o instrumento, além da observação, foi a entrevista semiestruturada. Através da análise de dados ficou evidenciado que mesmo se tratando de organizações separadas juridicamente, igreja e escola, é impossível separá-las administrativamente, ideologicamente e socialmente. A influência da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia (IASD) atinge todos os níveis organizacionais da escola

    This study analyzed the association of periodontal disease (PD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Seventy-five 35-60-year-old patients were assigned to 5 groups according to the presence (+) or not (-) of PD and RA and the treatment received (TR+) or not (TR-) for PD. Group 3 uses total prosthesis (TP). Clinical and laboratory evaluations were performed at baseline, 3 and 6 months of follow-up by probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing and plaque index for PD, HAQ, DAS28, SF-36 and laboratory: AAG, ESR, CRP for RA. Statistically significant differences for PD after 3 (p=0.0055) and after 6 months (p=0.0066) were obtained in Group 1 (RA+PD+TR+) and 2(RA+PD+TR-); significant reduction in the % of BOP after 6 months (p=0.0128) and significant reduction in the % of Pl after 3 (p=0.0128) and 6 months (p=0.0002) in Group 1. Statistically significant differences between Groups 1 and 3 (RA+TP) for DAS28 at baseline and after 3 months were observed, but not after 6 months. No other parameters for RA were significantly affected. The relationship between RA and PD disease activities is not clear, but the importance of periodontal treatment in the control of inflammation to avoid tooth extraction is evident.Este estudo avaliou a influência da doença periodontal (DP) na artrite reumatóide (AR). 75 pacientes, 35-60 anos, divididos em 5 Grupos, considerando a situação sistêmica e periodontal foram analisados. Um Grupo usava prótese total (PT). Os parâmetros clínicos e laboratoriais analisados: inicial, 3 e 6 meses receberam tratamento estatístico. As correlações entre as reduções da profundidade de sondagem, placa microbiana e sangramento à sondagem com as de Alfa 1, PCR, VHS e exames de qualidade de vida (HAQ, DAS28, SF36) foram também analisadas. Comparando o Grupo 1 (AR+DP+TR+) e Grupo 2 (AR+DP+TR-), aqueles que receberam tratamento periodontal não-cirúrgico (TPNC) tiveram reduções estatisticamente significativas em relação a PS aos 3 meses (p=0,0055) e 6 meses (p=0,0066); as reduções da % SS foram estatisticamente significantes aos 6 meses (p=0,0128) e da % PM aos 3 (p=0,0128) e 6 meses (p=0,0002). O TPNC não apresentou correlação com a melhora dos exames laboratoriais, nem com os exames de qualidade de vida. Comparando o Grupo 1 com o Grupo 3 (AR+PT) houve diferença estatisticamente significante no DAS28 inicial e 3 meses. Não foi possível verificar uma correlação direta do TPNC na atividade da doença sistêmica, mas pode-se constatar a sua importância, evitando a extração múltipla dos dentes

    The acellular dermal matrix (ADM) was introduced in periodontology as a substitute for the autogenous grafts, which became restricted because of the limited source of donor's tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate, in vitro, the distribution, proliferation and viability of human gingival fibroblasts seeded onto ADM. ADM was seeded with human gingival fibroblasts for up to 21 days. The following parameters were evaluated: cell distribution, proliferation and viability. Results revealed that, at day 7, fibroblasts were adherent and spread on ADM surface, and were unevenly distributed, forming a discontinuous single cell layer; at day 14, a confluent fibroblastic monolayer lining ADM surface was noticed. At day 21, the cell monolayer exhibited a reduction in cell density. At 7 days, about to 90% of adherent cells on ADM surface were cycling while at 14 and 21 days this proportion was significantly reduced. A high proportion of viable cell was detected on AMD surface both on 14 and 21 days. The results suggest that fibroblast seeding onto ADM for 14 days can allow good conditions for cell adhesion and spreading on the matrix; however, migration inside the matrix was limited.A matriz dérmica acelular (MDA) foi introduzida na Periodontia como um substituto para enxertos autógenos, os quais se tornaram restritos devido à quantidade limitada de tecido doador. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar, in vitro, a distribuição, proliferação e viabilidade de fibroblastos gengivais humanos cultivados em MDA. Fibroblastos gengivais foram cultivados sobre MDA por até 21 dias. Os seguintes parâmetros foram avaliados: distribuição, proliferação e viabilidade celular. Os resultados revelaram que, aos 7 dias, os fibroblastos estavam aderidos e espraiados na superfície da MDA, e estavam distribuídos de forma desigual, formando uma camada celular descontínua; aos 14 dias, uma monocamada confluente de fibroblastos revestindo a superfície da MDA foi observada. Aos 21 dias, a monocamada celular exibiu uma redução na densidade celular. Aos 7 dias, cerca de 90% das células aderidas na superfície da MDA estavam no ciclo celular, enquanto que aos 14 e 21 dias esse número reduziu significativamente. Uma maior proporção de células viáveis foi detectada na superfície da MDA tanto aos 14 quanto aos 21 dias. Os resultados sugerem que fibroblastos cultivados sobre a MDA por 14 dias permitem boas condições de adesão e espraiamento das células sobre a matriz, porém, a migração de células para o interior da matriz foi limitada.Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES

    Objective : To investigate the influence of a three-dimensional cell culture model on the expression of osteoblastic phenotype in human periodontal ligament fibroblast (hPDLF) cultures. Material and Methods : hPDLF were seeded on bi-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) collagen type I (experimental groups) and and on a plastic coverslip (control) for up to 14 days. Cell viability and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were performed. Also, cell morphology and immunolabeling for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteopontin (OPN) were assessed by epifluorescence and confocal microscopy. The expression of osteogenic markers, including alkaline phosphatase, osteopontin, osteocalcin (OC), collagen I (COL I) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), were analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Mineralized bone-like nodule formation was visualized by microscopy and calcium content was assessed quantitatively by alizarin red assay. Results : Experimental cultures produced an increase in cell proliferation. Immunolabeling for OPN and ALP in hPDLF were increased and ALP activity was inhibited by three-dimensional conditions. OPN and RUNX2 gene expression was significantly higher on 3D culture when compared with control surface. Moreover, ALP and COL I gene expression were significantly higher in three-dimensional collagen than in 2D cultures at 7 days. However, at 14 days, 3D cultures exhibited ALP and COL I gene expression significantly lower than the control, and the COL I gene expression was also significantly lower in 3D than in 2D cultures. Significant calcium mineralization was detected and quantified by alizarin red assay, and calcified nodule formation was not affected by tridimensionality. Conclusion : This study suggests that the 3D cultures are able to support hPDLF proliferation and favor the differentiation and mineralized matrix formation, which may be a potential periodontal regenerative therapy

    A mão em fenda é uma deformidade congênita rara caracterizada por uma deficiência longitudinal dos raios centrais da mão, podendo estar associada a outras malformações. Devido ao amplo espectro de manifestações, o tratamento de mãos em fenda é desafiador. Este estudo objetiva apresentar as classificações, técnicas cirúrgicas mais indicadas e seguimentos adotados conforme a manifestação clínica. Foi realizada uma pesquisa nos bancos de dados Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane e Embase, descritores e termos relacionados à anomalia mão em fenda típica. Trinta e dois artigos foram incluídos, sendo analisados quanto a classificação da anomalia, classificação da gravidade de expressão, técnicas cirúrgicas e estudos com informações da intervenção cirúrgica adotada para uma coorte de pacientes. Considerando que estudos sobre mão em fenda são diretamente afetados pelas descobertas embriológicas, genéticas e de biologia molecular, diferentes classificações foram descritas e diversos estudos de complementação de técnicas cirúrgicas já existentes foram encontrados. Estudos inovadores são escassos. A padronização na descrição das técnicas e resultados, além de pesquisas de melhor qualidade, poderiam elucidar lacunas ainda existentes em torno das opções de tratamento

    Cleft hand is a rare congenital deformity characterized by a longitudinal deficiency of the central rays of the hand, which may be associated with other malformations. Due to the wide spectrum of manifestations, the treatment is challenging. This study aims to present the most suitable classifications, surgical techniques and follow-up adopted according to the clinical manifestation. A search was performed in the databases Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane and Embase, descriptors and terms related to the hand anomaly in a typical cleft. Thirty-two articles were included and analyzed regarding the classification of the anomaly, classification of the severity of expression, surgical techniques and studies with information on the surgical intervention adopted for a cohort of patients. Considering that studies about cleft hand could be directly affected by embryological, genetic and molecular biology discoveries, different classifications have been described and several studies to complement existing surgical techniques have been found. Innovative studies are scarce. Standardization in the description of techniques and results, in addition to better quality research, could elucidate gaps that still exist around treatment options

    Introduction: This study evaluated the in vivo response of apical and periapical tissues of dogs' teeth with apical periodontitis after one-session endodontic treatment with and without antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT). Methods: Sixty root canals with experimentally induced apical periodontitis were instrumented and assigned to 4 groups receiving aPDT and root canal filling (RCF) or not: group aPDT+/RCF- (n = 20): aPDT (photosensitizer phenothiazine chloride at 10 mg/mL for 3 minutes and diode laser [2 = 660 nm, 60 mW/cm(2)] for 1 minute) and RCF in the same session; group aPDT+/RCF (n = 10); group aPDT /RCF+ (n = 20), and group aPDT /RCF (n = 10). Teeth were restored, and the animals were killed after 90 days. Sections from the maxillas and mandibles were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and Mallory trichrome and examined under light microscopy. Descriptive (ie, newly formed apical mineralized tissue, periapical inflammatory infiltrate, apical periodontal ligament thickness, and mineralized tissue resorption) and quantitative (ie, periapical lesion size and number of inflammatory cells) microscopic analysis was performed. Quantitative data were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests (alpha =.05). Results: In the aPDT-treated groups, the periapical region was moderately/severely enlarged with no inflammatory cells, moderate neoangiogenesis and fibrogenesis, and the smallest periapical lesions. Conclusions: Although apical closure by mineralized tissue deposition was not achieved, the absence of inflammatory cells, moderate neoangiogenesis, and fibrogenesis in the periapical region in the groups treated with aPDT indicate that this can be a promising adjunct therapy to cleaning and shaping procedures in teeth with apical periodontitis undergoing one-session endodontic treatment.
