The implementation of new public healthcare models that stimulate the use natural products from traditional medicine, as a so-called integrated refers to an approach best both conventional medicine and medicine. Propolis is widely used product by different ancient cultures known exhibit biological activities beneficial for health. large number studies conducted with propolis had shown its chemical composition differs function climate, plant diversity bee species plays important role on...
The ever-increasing demand for natural products and biotechnology derived from bees ultra-modernization of various analytical devices has facilitated the rational planned development with a focus on human health to treat chronic neglected diseases. aim present study was prepare characterize polymeric nanoparticles loaded Brazilian red propolis extract evaluate cytotoxic activity “multiple-constituent in co-delivery system” antileishmanial therapies. were prepared combination...
The standardization of apiceutical products like as propolis extracts has been widely debated worldwide and variations in the chemical composition are still very relevant topics for use-standardized different propolis-type medication by much world's population. present manuscript discuss important issues related to climate effect metabolite-profiling changes, antioxidant capacity antibacterial activity Brazilian red metabolites using comprehensive multivariate correlations. It was observed...
Coral-algal symbiosis has been a subject of great attention during the last two decades in response to global coral reef decline. However, occurrence and dispersion free-living dinoflagellates belonging genus Symbiodinium are less documented. Here ecological molecular evidence is presented demonstrating existence demersal populations Caribbean reefs possible role stoplight parrotfish (Sparisoma viride) as spp. dispersers. Communities were found within macroalgal beds consisting Halimeda...
Direct pulp capping helps to regenerate and repair damaged dentin, preserving tooth vitality. Despite being a widely recognized method, the authors investigated use of natural product with significant biological activity for this purpose. Thus, aim study was evaluate human dental response direct polymeric nanoparticles loaded Brazilian red propolis (BRP) compared mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Following synthesis, 50μg BRP (NPP50) 100μg (NPP100) were analyzed by infrared spectroscopy...
AbstractPolymerization contraction of composite resin can cause marginal microleakage resulting in hypersensitivity, discoloration, secondary caries, pulpal involvement, and restoration failure. Different methods are used to assess these leaks. This study compared two assessing infiltration using dye penetration. Class V preparations were made 45 fragments bovine teeth, which restored resin. After finishing polishing, the samples randomized into 3 groups: GI (control, no sealing); GII...
The aim of this study was to observe the influence two light polymerization units (LED or halogen light) on degree conversion (DC) three dental composites with lighter shades and a different photoinitiator system. top (T) bottom (B) surfaces 60 discs composite resin (Filtek™ Supreme, Filtek™ Z250, Tetric™ Ceram Bleach) cured either by LED lamp (HL) were studied using an FT-Raman spectrometer. evaluated following changes in intensity methacrylate C=C stretching mode at 1640 cm-1. calculated...
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate effectiveness and effects of bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide without calcium on color, micromorphology, the replacement phosphate enamel surface. Thirty bovine blocks (5.0 × 5.0 mm) were placed into following groups: G1: artificial saliva (control); G2: gel (Whiteness HP Maxx–FGM); G3: Blue–FGM). Three color measurements performed a spectrophotometer: untreated (baseline), after performing staining, application agents. Calcium deposition was...
Propolis is a natural substance produced by bees and known to have antimicrobial activity. Our aim was evaluate the effect of micellar nanocomposites loaded with an ethyl acetate extract Brazilian red propolis as cavity cleaning agent its influence on color microtensile bond strength (μTBS) dentin/resin interface.An ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled diode array detector (UPLC-DAD) assay used determine flavonoids isoflavones present in (EARP) EARP (MNRP). The activity MNRP...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree conversion and bond strength a commercial dental adhesive modified by incorporation quercetin, resveratrol (RES), Brazilian red propolis (BRP).BRP markers were identified using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector, antioxidant activity (AAO) three substances analyzed. Single Bond 2 (3M ESPE) adding BRP, RES, separately, at 20 μg/mL, 250 500 respectively. (DC) measured near-infrared spectroscopy 24 h after...
Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is a life-threatening condition characterized by hyperadrenergic activity and autonomic dysfunction. Also termed storms, PSH can occur after variety of cerebral insults, most commonly traumatic brain injury. Limited pediatric literature available, especially in patients with injury from hypoxia. No consensus exists for the terminology, diagnostic criteria, or treatment algorithm PSH. Thus, optimal management, including medication selection dosing,...

Abstract Water treeing and water droplets are observed within adhesive layers on the hybridized surface after bonding sound dentin using single‐bottle etch‐and‐rinse adhesives, indicating permeability of hybrid layer to water. The aim this study was assess efficacy sealing by adhesives containing propolis quantifying area transudation from dentinal tubules hybridization. Brazilian red added experimental Single Bond (3M/ESPE) adhesive; without were used as controls. Under simulated pulp...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential cytotoxicity Adper Single Bond 2 (SB) simplified etch-and-rinse adhesive system in alveolar macrophage cultures, as a function post-polymerization time and duration immersion culture medium for preparation extracts, by observing levels nitric oxide (NO) release cell survival rate (MTT assay). Wistar rat macrophages were exposed 200 microL extracts obtained from 24- or 72-h samples (RPMI), immediately 24 h after polymerization. Fresh...
To analyse the association of team sports practice and physical psychological factors with sexual adjustment in men paraplegia. More specifically, we aimed to compare athletes non-athletes regarding adjustment, resilience, body self-esteem, functional independence.Cross-sectional study a paired design.The included 60 paraplegia (30 30 non-athletes).We used sociodemographic questionnaire (age, education, time since injury); esteem questionnaire; resilience Functional Independence Measure...
A 2.5‐year‐old child receiving phenobarbital for a history of seizures while on continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) had persistent subtherapeutic serum levels despite progressive dosage increases. Phenobarbital concentration was measured in the dialysate effluent and clearance calculated. Thirty‐five percent total daily dose being removed through 24‐hour CCPD. Our findings were consistent with previous reports 40% 50% removal during ambulatory acute dialysis, respectively. In...
