Associação entre doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica e a má condição de saúde periodontal: um estudo transversal

Objective: Evidence suggests an association between periodontal disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Such association may happen by the presence of oral bacteria (either aspirated or through the bloodstream) and because both diseases are host mediated conditions with many risk factors and comorbidities in common. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency and severity of periodontal disease in patients with COPD. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 33 patients with COPD and 30 patients without COPD (control group). All patients underwent spirometry and were examined by a dentist. Periodontal status was evaluated by the following indexes: number of teeth, plaque index (PI), gingival bleeding index (GBI), probing depth (PD), PD of diseased sites (PDD), clinical attachment level (CAL), CAL of diseased sites (CALD) and percentage of diseased sites (CALDP). The periodontal disease was classified by severity and extent. The findings were analyzed under Pearson's chi-square test, independent samples t test and logistic regression with odds ratio. Results: The COPD group had higher PI (p = 0,01), CAL (p = 0,001) and CALDP (p <0,001), more frequent, more severe (p = 0,015) and more generalized (p = 0.005) periodontal disease and the odds ratio for patients with COPD was 1.2 (95% CI: 1,023-1,408). Conclusions: Patients with COPD present worse periodontal status. Comprehensive periodontal examination in these patients seems to be necessary. More studies are needed in order to clarify the role of periodontal therapy in the management of COPD.Objetivo: Estudos sugerem uma associação entre a doença periodontal e a doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC). Esta associação pode acontecer pela presença de bactérias na cavidade oral (aspiradas ou via corrente sanguínea) e porque ambas são condições mediadas pelo paciente com muitos fatores de risco e comorbidades em comum. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a frequência e gravidade da doença periodontal em pacientes com DPOC. Método: Este estudo transversal incluiu 33 pacientes com DPOC e 30 pacientes sem DPOC (grupo controle). Todos os pacientes realizaram espirometria e foram examinados por um dentista. A condição periodontal foi avaliada através dos seguintes índices: número de dentes, índice de placa (IP), índice de sangramento gengival (IG), profundidade de sondagem (PS), PS dos sítios doentes (PSD), nível de inserção clínica (NIC), NIC dos sítios doentes (NICD) e percentual de sítios doentes (NICDP). A doença periodontal foi classificada quanto à severidade e extensão. Para análise estatística foram utilizados o teste de qui-quadrado de Pearson, o teste t de Student, análise de regressão logística e cálculo do odds ratio. Resultados: O grupo DPOC apresentou maiores IP (p=0,01), NIC (p=0,001) e  NICDP (p<0,001), doença periodontal mais frequente e severa (p=0,015) e mais generalizada (p=0,005), com odds ratio de 1,2 (95%IC: 1,023–1,408). Conclusões: Os pacientes com DPOC apresentaram pior condição periodontal. Um exame periodontal nesses pacientes parece ser necessário. Mais estudos são necessários para esclarecer o papel da terapia periodontal no protocolo de acompanhamento dos pacientes com DPOC

ATLANTIC EPIPHYTES: a data set of vascular and non-vascular epiphyte plants and lichens from the Atlantic Forest

Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer-reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non-vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non-vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest.
