RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Parkinson's disease is neurodegenerative, complex and progressive, manifesting in a slow and irreversible way. Physical exercise has been proposed as therapeutic alternative to people with Parkinson´s disease. OBJECTIVE: To synthesize knowledge about the effects of physical exercise on people with Parkinson´s Disease as presented by published systematic reviews. METHODS: Nine electronic databases and two grey literature databases were searched for systematic reviews reporting the effects of physical exercises on people with Parkinson´s Disease. Searches involved a two-phase process, by, at least, two independent reviewers. Methodological quality of the included systematic reviews was assessed using AMSTAR-2. RESULTS: From 2,122 systematic reviews, 139 were included. Motor outcomes were assessed in 91% of the studies, with balance being the most studied. Non-motor outcomes were assessed in 68% of the studies, with emphasis on quality of life. Physical exercises were classified into five categories: aerobic exercises, strength, combined, sensorimotor activities and other activity protocols. Findings of the systematic reviews suggest that all exercise categories can be prescribed to improve balance and mobility, while combined exercises, strength, and specific activities improve both motor and non-motor outcomes, and aerobic exercise and sensorimotor activities improve motor outcomes. CONCLUSION: Current evidence from systematic reviews suggests that physical exercises impacts both motor and non-motor outcomes in people with Parkinson´s Disease. Limits in evidence provided by the systematic reviews were related to methodological issues and to the description of the interventions and must be considered to improve decision-making and clinical application.

RESUMO

This bibliometric study aimed to characterize published systematic reviews assessing the effects of physical exercise on people with Parkinson's disease. Eligible studies were searched in Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and MEDLINE via PubMed databases. No date or language restrictions were applied. Studies were selected based on the inclusion criteria, and the results were uploaded to Bibliometrix 4.0 for R for bibliometric analysis. A total of 146 studies were included in the analysis, with the first one having been published in 2005. The annual growth rate was 14.72%, with an average publication time of 3.72 years. Themes based on indexed keywords represented elements of the PICO question, namely Parkinson's disease, exercise, therapy, rehabilitation, and outcomes such as gait, balance, and quality of life. A considerable number of systematic reviews addressing the effects of physical exercise interventions on people with Parkinson's disease have been published since the mid-2000s. Systematic reviews were first published by countries with long-established older populations. Exercise-based interventions and their effects on gait, balance, and quality of life in people with Parkinson's disease have been the focus of the most recent reviews

RESUMO

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Bixa orellana L. is reported to have numerous applications in traditional medicine and pharmacological properties such as wound healing, analgesic, hemostatic, and antioxidant activities. Recently, the literature has shown scientific interest of its antimicrobial properties aiming the development of cost-effective phytotherapeutic agents. However, no literature are available in witch the antimicrobial and technological prospecting are summarized. AIM OF STUDY: This study aimed to systematically review articles and patents related to the antimicrobial activity of B. orellana. METHODS: The review followed the guidelines proposed by The Joanna Briggs Institute and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Two reviewers performed a literature search up to November 2021 in eight databases: Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Scifinder, Web of Science, Cochrane, Embase, Scielo, and Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. The following databases for the patent search were analyzed: United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Google Patents, National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and Espacenet (European Patent Office, EPO). The grey literature was searched using the ProQuest Dissertations and Periódicos Capes Theses database. The methodological quality and risk of bias in the included studies were carried out using Review Manager (RevMan) 5.3.5. RESULTS: After analyzing the 47 studies and five patents fulfilled all the criteria and were included in the present investigation. The evidence suggests that this herbal medicine is effective against several fungi, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, being more effective to Gram-negative bacteria. Regarding the risk of bias and methodological quality analysis, most studies a high risk of bias related to random sequence generation and allocation concealment. CONCLUSION: Up to now, the evidence in the literature suggests that the use of B. orellana preparations for antimicrobial preparations has some effectiveness. However, further research is needed using standard B. orellana preparations to determine their effectiveness as antimicrobial agents and expanding their application at an industrial level, in addition in vivo studies are needed for this confirmation.

RESUMO

Aim: This study analyzed the effect of whitening mouth rinses on water sorption (WS), solubility (SL), color change, and surface roughness of a nanofilled composite. Whitening perceptibility and acceptability (WID) were also studied. Methods: Forty specimens of Filtek Z350XT, shade EA2 were produced and randomly distributed (n=8) to AS ­ artificial saliva (control); LWE ­ Listerine Whitening Extreme; CLW ­ Colgate Luminous White; LCM ­ Listerine Cool Mint; and CP ­ Colgate Plax. They were immersed in the mouth rinses 2x/day, for one minute, during 28 days. The color was assessed using an Easyshade spectrophotometer (CIE-L*a*b* system). Surface roughness (Ra-µm) was measured with three parallel measures, using an RP-200 roughness meter. The WS and SL (µg/mm-3) were analyzed based on the ISO 4049 recommendations. The data were analyzed using one- and two-way ANOVA/Tukey tests (α=0.05). Results: Surface roughness significantly increased after immersion in AS and LCM, with no significant differences between the groups either before or after immersion. The ΔE* was not significantly different between the groups. All substances produced a ΔWID higher than the 50%:50% perceptibility and acceptability thresholds. The WS and SL were not significantly affected by the mouth rinses. Conclusion: Whitening mouth rinses did not affect WS, SL, surface roughness, and color stability of a nanofilled composite, regardless of the presence of ethanol in the composition

RESUMO

Este estudo avaliou a cor de duas resinas compostas universais produzidas por diferentes fabricantes. Noventa e seis espécimes das resinas compostas Filtek Z350XT (3M ESPE) e IPS Empress Direct (Ivoclar Vivadent) (n=48 cada) da cor A2E foram confeccionados com 5 mm de diâmetro X 6 mm de altura. Cada camada de 2 mm de espessura de resina inserida foi fotoativada com uma unidade fotoativadora LED com 900 mW/cm2 por 20 s. Os espécimes foram polidos com o sistema Sof-lex Pop-On (3M ESPE). A cor foi aferida com um espectrofotômetro digital portátil Easyshade (Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Säckingen), com base nos eixos tridimensionais do sistema CIEL*a*b*, e sua diferença entre as resinas foi determinada em cada eixo, calculando o seu respectivo Δ (ΔL*, Δa* e Δb*) e os parâmetros de variação total de cor ΔE* e ΔE00. A diferença de cor entre as resinas em cada eixo foi analisada estatisticamente pelo Teste t de amostras independentes (α=0,05), além de considerar os limiares de 50%:50% de perceptibilidade e aceitabilidade da variação total de cor. Diferenças estatisticamente significativas foram observadas no ΔL* e no Δb* (p<0,001). Os valores de ΔE foram de três a quatro vezes superiores ao limite de perceptibilidade e em até duas vezes ao limite de aceitabilidade da variação total de cor. Verificou-se que diferenças importantes de cor podem ocorrer em resinas da mesma cor, porém, de fabricantes diferentes. Essas diferenças podem ser visualmente perceptíveis e acima dos limites de aceitabilidade, podendo comprometer o resultado estético da restauração.(AU)

This study assessed the color of two universal composites produced by different manufacturers. Ninety-six specimens of Filtek Z350XT (3M ESPE) and IPS Empress Direct (Ivoclar Vivadent) (n=48 each) colored A2E were made with 5 mm of diameter X 6 mm of height. Each 2 mm-thick composite layer inserted was light cured with a LED light curing unit with 900 mW/cm2 for 20 s. The specimens were polished with Sof-lex Pop-On (3M ESPE). The color was measured with a portable digital spectrophotometer Easyshade (Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Säckingen) based on the tridimensional axes of the CIEL*a*b* system, and the difference between composites was determined in each axis by determining the respective Δs (ΔL*, Δa* e Δb*), along with the parameters for total color variation ΔE* and ΔE00. The color difference between composite in each axis was analyzed statistically using the t-test (α=0,05), besides considering the 50%:50% thresholds for visual perceptibility and acceptability of total color variation. Statistically significant differences were observed in ΔL* and Δb* (p<0.001). The ΔE values were three to four times higher than the perceptibility threshold and twice higher than the acceptability threshold for total color variation. Relevant color differences may occur in composites of the same color, yet, made by different manufacturers. These differences may be visually perceptible and higher than acceptance limits, and may compromise the esthetic result of dental restorations.(AU)

As 3.345 notificações do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação e do Centro de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador (CEREST) Regional de Chapecó/SC foram analisadas mediante estatística descritiva e teste qui-quadrado de associação (α=0,05). 2.572 acidentes foram leves (76,9%), 60 (1,7%) foram mutilantes, 695 (20,7%) foram graves e 18 (0,5%) foram fatais. O tipo de acidente foi associado ao sexo, à faixa etária e à ocupação do trabalhador (p<0,05). Acidentes graves acometeram mais gesseiros e pintores, do sexo masculino, na faixa etária de 15 a 17 anos. Por outro lado, proporcionalmente, serventes, mulheres e trabalhadores entre 58 e 67 anos sofreram mais acidentes fatais. Os achados permitem melhor compreender a associação entre o tipo de acidente e as variáveis sociodemográficas do trabalhador e do seu contexto de trabalho, o que é relevante na elaboração de políticas públicas.

We aimed to analyse the profile of work accidents notified to have occurred in the civil construction industry of Western Santa Catarina between 2008 and 2015. The 3,345 notifications from the Notification of Injury Information System and the Worker´s Health Reference Center (CEREST) from the region of Chapecó/SC were analysed using descriptive statistics and chi-square test of association (α=0.05). Of the 3,345 accidents, 2,572 were not serious (76.9%), 60 (1.7%) were mutilating, 695 (20.7%) were serious, and 18 (0.5%) were fatal. The type of accident was associated to sex, age range, and occupation (p>0.05). Serious accidents involved more plasterers and painters, male, aged 15-17 years old. On the other hand, proportionally, female labourers, aged 58-67 years old were more susceptible to fatal accidents. The findings allow a better understanding of the association between the type of accident and the socio-demographic variables of the worker and their working environment, which is relevant for the development of public policies.

RESUMO

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE: The species Urera baccifera (L.) Gaudich. ex Wedd. (Urticaceae) is native to the Americas and is distributed widely throughout Brazil, where it is known as urtiga-brava, urtiga-vermelha, or urtigão. The leaves are often used as anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic agents and for the treatment of gastric disorders. However, the pharmacological mode of action underlying the gastroprotection induced by this species has not been investigated. AIM OF THE STUDY: To contribute to the knowledge of the gastroprotective mode of action of the hydroalcoholic extract of U. baccifera (HEU) leaves. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Antiulcerogenic effect of HEU against ethanol-induced acute gastric ulcer was evaluated in rats and mice at doses of 3-300 mg/kg. NO-synthase inhibitor (L-NAME), SH blocker (NEM), cyclooxygenase inhibitor (indomethacin) and alpha 2-adrenergic receptor antagonist yohimbine were used to evaluate the participation of cytoprotective factors in HEU gastroprotection. Moreover, the levels of reduced gluthatione (GSH) and cytokines (TNF, IL-6, IL4 and IL-10), as well as the enzymatic activity of gluthatione S-transferase (GST), myeloperoxidase (MPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were measure. Moreover, the samples were analyzed histologically and the antisecretory capability of HEU were quantified using pylorus ligated rats. RESULTS: The phytochemical analysis of HEU (UPLC/ESI-IT-MS) identified the flavonoids diosmetin and apigenin glucuronide. Furthermore, HEU decreased the occurrence of ethanol-induced ulcers at 30 and 300 mg/kg by 57% and 66%, respectively, compared with the vehicle. The gastroprotective effects were accompanied by increased GSH levels and GST and SOD activity as well as by reduced MPO activity in vivo and in vitro, revealing antioxidant effects and inhibition of neutrophil infiltration. The beneficial effects of 30 and 300 mg/kg HEU were also observed upon histological analyses. Regarding the mode of action, the gastroprotective effect of HEU was abolished by the pre-administration of L-NAME, NEM, indomethacin or yohimbine. Moreover, HEU was able to decrease the IL-6, IL-4 and IL-10 in ulcerated tissue, as well as the pepsin activity of the gastric juice in pylorus-ligated rats. CONCLUSION: Together, the results confirmed that the gastroprotection elicited by HEU was due reduction in oxidative damage, neutrophil migration, and peptic activity. This work validates the popular use of U. baccifera to treat gastric disorders and supports important future research for the identification of gastroprotective molecules from this species.

RESUMO

Regardless of the extensive availability of mouth rinses that claim to whiten teeth, evidence of achievement of such effect is still missing. Aim: Therefore, this study assessed in vitro the whitening effectiveness of whitening mouth rinses. Methods: Sixty intact bovine incisors were embedded in acrylic resin and had their buccal surface flattened and polished. Then, the specimens were randomly allocated to three conventional (Colgate Plax, Cepacol and Listerine Cool Mint) and three whitening mouth rinse groups (Colgate Luminous White, Cepacol Whitening and Listerine Whitening Extreme) (n=10). Following, the specimens were immersed twice a day in the mouth rinses for one minute for 28 days. In between each immersion period, the specimens remained in artificial saliva at 37oC. Color was measured at baseline, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days using a portable spectrophotometer (Easyshade, Vita Zahnfabrik, Germany) with a 6 mm of diameter probe. Color change was analyzed considering the parameters of ∆L*, ∆a*, ∆b* and, ultimately, ∆E*. The whitening efficacy of the mouth rinses was analyzed using the Whiteness Index for Dentistry (WID). Data of ∆s was analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). Results: The type of mouth rinse affected significantly all the ∆ parameters (p<0.05). A non-whitening (conventional) mouth rinse produced the highest ΔE*, followed by the three whitening mouth rinses. The application time also affected ΔE* (p<0.05), with emphasis on the third week of treatment. Only the hydrogen peroxide-containing mouth rinse (Listerine Whitening Extreme) presented a whitening effect, with an increasing trend over time. Conclusion: Although the overall color change was not different when comparing conventional and whitening mouth rinses, the hydrogen peroxide-containing whitening mouth rinse produces an increasing whitening trend over time. Not every mouth rinse that claims to whiten teeth produces the desired effect
