Fifty-five patients were submitted a detailed clinical interview oral examination, instructed keep their dentures immersed 10% solution (pH less than 3) overnight 45 days. Before after experimental period, saliva samples...

Abstract Background Inflammatory/immunological serum markers are useful for the early detection of organ dysfunction, helping diagnosis sepsis. Although blood biomarkers is a standard practice, use noninvasive samples (eg saliva) would be beneficial. Aim To investigate saliva hospitalized patients with and without sepsis identify levels inflammatory such as C‐reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin 6 (IL‐6) nitric oxide (NO). Methods Saliva were collected from 26 in...

The study investigated whether the interaction with Lactobacillus rhamnosus (ATCC7469) interfere expression of virulence factors by Candida albicans (ATCC18804).These micro-organisms were grown in biofilms for 24, 48 and 72 h, was isolated major investigated. production phospholipase, protease haemolysin observed appropriate media; observation germ tubes formation serum; biofilm formation, after growth microtitre plates reading spectrophotometer. also tested antifungal sensitivity to...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), chlorhexidine (CHX), and glycolic extract propolis (GEP) as endodontic irrigants calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)

Introduction: One of the therapeutic strategies for hematological malignancies is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, a common and severe post-transplantation complication graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), primarily mediated by donor’s immunocompetent cells, particularly T lymphocytes. Objectives: This study aims to explore potential biomarkers prognosis diagnosis GVHD following HSCT. Methods: integrative review was conducted using PubMed Google Scholar databases. The...

Introdução: Uma das estratégias terapêuticas para neoplasias hematológicas é o transplante de células-tronco hematopoiéticas. No entanto, uma complicação comum e grave pós-transplante a doença do enxerto contra hospedeiro, mediada principalmente pelas células imunocompetentes doador, particularmente os linfócitos T. Objetivos: Este estudo tem como objetivo explorar potenciais biomarcadores prognóstico diagnóstico da hospedeiro após Métodos: Trata-se revisão integrativa realizada nas bases...

Probiotics are defined as microorganisms that promote benefits to host health, mainly by regulating resident microbiota. Disequilibrium in microbiota can favor the growth of opportunist and development pathologies, like candidosis caused yeasts Candida genus. This work evaluated whether probiotics consumption was able influence a specific immunological response presence these oral cavity. Saliva samples were collected from healthy individuals plated Dextrose Saboraud Agar with...

To assess the effectiveness of three systems mechanical preparation to reduce Enterococcus faecalis within root canals.Twenty-four human single-rooted canine teeth were standardized a length 17 mm and canal contents removed using size 20 K-file, as last apical file. After irrigation sterilization, canals contaminated with E. incubated for 21 days at 37 °C 5% CO(2). Then, divided into groups with: ProTaper rotary system, manual system K-files. Samples contents, before after debridement,...

Adhesion and colonization of the oral cavity by Candida albicans is an initial step in candidosis. Orthodontic other appliances seem to favor candidal presence. The aim this work was compare presence species saliva, their adherence epithelial cells, levels anti–C. IgA children with or without orthodontic appliances. This study included 30 5 12 years old (9.1 ± 1.7 old) who were users removable devices for at least 6 months control similar ages (7.7 1.5 old). yeast saliva evaluated...

To evaluate the presence of microorganisms genus Staphylococcus and Streptococcus on toys in playroom a teaching hospital, as well to analyze antimicrobial from isolated strains.Samples were collected 60 toys, using wet swabs, soon after being used by children. The samples inoculated enriched selective agar for isolation later identification microorganisms. Antibiogram testing was performed diffusion technique.The present 87.0% (52/60) toys. Seventythree strains isolated, with 29.0% (21/73)...

The role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in tissue degradation has become evident many diseases and great interest therefore exists the pharmacological control activity these enzymes. This study evaluated effect caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on production MMPs their inhibitor (TIMP) monocytes activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). human monocytic cell line (THP-1) was treated with non-cytotoxic concentrations CAPE (10 60 μM) combined 1 μg/mL LPS. gene expression MMP-1, MMP-9 TIMP-1...

Antimicrobial therapy may cause changes in the resident oral microbiota, with increase of opportunistic pathogens. The aim this study was to compare prevalence Candida, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas and Enterobacteriaceae cavity fifty patients undergoing antibiotic for pulmonary tuberculosis systemically healthy controls. Oral rinsing subgingival samples were obtained, plated Sabouraud dextrose agar chloramphenicol, mannitol MacConkey agar, incubated 48 h at 37ºC. Candida spp....

To investigate the influence of Lactobacillus rhamnosus in expression virulence factors Candida albicans vitro.A suspension L. was initially grown MRS agar.
