Expressão gênica e viabilidade de folículos pré-antrais submetidos à vitrificação do córtex ovariano de Sapajus apella (macacas-prego)

Vitrification is a biotech that has been increasingly showing promise in several species, among them domestic ruminants (such as sheep, goats and cows) and in nonhuman primates (NHP) (as cynomologus and rhesus), and consists in reducing ultra-rapid temperature by the presence of high concentrations of cryoprotective agents (PCA's) in liquid nitrogen. Thus the aim of this study was to develop a methodology for cryopreservation by vitrification of preantral follicles (PF's) in Sapajus apella. For this purpose, we used females (n = 9) adult Sapajus apella squad belonging to the National Primate Center (CENP). Samples were taken from the ovarian cortex by laparotomy so as not to destabilize the animals reproducibly. The fragments exposed to 8 different treatments: Ethylene glycol (EG) + 40% Sucrose (Sac) dissolved in 0.5 M TCM-199, added to Selenium (2,5, 5 or 10 ng / ml) or Trolox (25, 50 or 100 mM). Following exposure to cryoprotective agents was analyzed follicular viability before and after vitrification, from the follicular morphology, expression of Hsp70 genes, Erp29, Erp60 SOD1 and through the analysis by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), in addition to performing measurement of oxidative stress thru the TEAC (English Total Equivalent Antioxidant Activity). The analyzes showed that vitrification allowed the maintenance of follicular viability by previous exposure to concentrations of ACP's alevadas, especially when supplemented with 50 mM trolox (which resulted in high follicular survival rates) and increased expression of the antioxidant enzyme SOD1. While in the absence of it was observed an increase in rates of follicles degenerate and vacuolated, and reduced expression of the antioxidant enzyme SOD1 and increased expression of chaperone Erp29.

Oral and maxillofacial trauma in brazilian children and adolescents
(2013-08) BREGAGNOLO, Livia Aguiar; BREGAGNOLO, Janete Cinira; SILVEIRA, Fernando da; BÉRGAMO, André Luiz; NASCIMENTO, Liliane Silva do; WATANABE, Marlívia Gonçalves de Carvalho
Children and adolescents are frequently victims of oral and maxillofacial trauma. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of oral and maxillofacial trauma that resulted in police records, in children and adolescents aged between 0 and 16 years during a period of 5 years. Among the 28,200 reports analyzed, 463 were included in the study. The men:women ratio observed was 1.6:1 and the most prevalent age range was between 15-16 years (44.40%). Most trauma cases resulted from physical assault (64.50%) and culminated in soft-tissue lesion (80.36%). Excoriations (28.64%) leaded as the most frequent type of lesion, and the maxillary region (22.63%) was the most common location of injury. The most common type of dental lesion was dental trauma (54.76%), and bone fractures prevailed in the nasal region (36.7%). The findings of this survey may contribute to plan and execute preventive measures as well as to guide curative measures aimed at this population group.
