    BOAS, CRISTIAN W.V. ; SILVA, JEFFERSON de J. ; BENEDETTO, RAQUEL ; MENGATTI, JAIR ; ARAUJO, ELAINE B. de . 177Lu-PSMA-617: Brazilian experience. Journal of Nuclear Medicine, v. 60, supplement 1 200, 2019.

    Abstract: Introduction: PSMA-617 radiolabeled with lutetium-177 has shown good results in compassionate studies around the world, and there is great interest in this kind of therapy in Brazil. The Nuclear and Research Institute (IPEN-CNEN) in São Paulo city, is a national radiopharmaceutical producer and the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals for therapy in a country of continental dimensions such as Brazil, becomes a challenge from the standpoint of guaranteeing the stability of the product. This work evaluated the scheduling of pilot batches for the production of 177Lu-PSMA-617 and studied the effect of dilution and freezing on the stability of mono-doses of the product. Materials and Methods: Radiolabeling of PSMA-617 (ABX, Germany) with lutetium-177 (JSC, Russia) was performed in heating block at 90 °C for 30 minutes, 37 GBq (1 Ci), 500 μg of peptide and sodium ascorbate (0,5 M pH 4,7) as buffer. At the end of the radiolabel, 0,5 mL of DTPA solution (4 mg/mL pH 4,5) was added and the product was diluted with an appropriate volume of saline solution 0,9%. The final product was filtrated in 0.22 membrane and the doses were fractionated (7,4 GBq calibrated for 24 hours in approximately 2,4 mL) and conditioned in appropriate lead chambers inside a dry ice bucket for transport simulation. The radiochemical purity (RP) was evaluated in a stability study at, 24 and 48 hours by TLC and HPLC. The radionuclidic purity, sterility and bacterial endotoxins were also evaluated. Results and discussion: The radiopharmaceutical was stable after 48 hours (99.47% TLC and 99.39% HPLC), and was approved in radionuclidic, sterility and endotoxins assays. The vials fractionated in mono-doses calibrated for 24 hours showed high stability through freezing and dilution, which allowed the transportation to the Cancer Hospital of Barretos, distant 420 km from the production center in São Paulo. All these mono-doses were administrated to the patients after 24 hours of the production. Also, these results denote that is possible to scale up this production until 74 GBq and be used in a clinical trial that is being planned. Conclusions: These carried out experiments demonstrated that it is possible to produce 177Lu-PSMA-617 for use in clinical trials in Brazil. Until now, four patients are under treatment (compassionate use). Also, these results demonstrate that it is still possible to increase production activity to 74 GBq, just like is normally done with 177Lu-DOTATATE.

    SILVA, L.T.S.; COGO-MULLER, K.; BRANDT, W.C.; CAMPOS, L.M.P. ; PARRA, D.F. ; SANTOS, M.; BOARO, L.C.C.. Antibacterial activity of endodontic sealer modified with nanoparticles. Dental Materials, v. 33, suppl. 1, p. e13-e13, 2017. DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2017.08.022

    Abstract: Purpose/aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of a commercial endodontic sealer modified with montmorillonite nanoparticles carrying to different drugs: clorhexidine (CHX) and metronidazole (MET). Materials and methods: The sealer used was AH Plus sealer, and 5% in weight was added of the nanoparticles carrying one of the drugs CHX or MET. Cylindrical specimens were made with 5 mm diameter and 1 mm thick (n = 5). The antibacterial activity was evaluated by the inhibition halo test. This method was conducted according to Clinical Standard Laboratory Institute M2-A8 protocol, with some modifications (CLSI, 2003). The bacteria selected were the E. Fecallis which is the most frequently bacteria found in recidivate apical infection. Discs specimens were positioned over the agar and plates were incubated in the appropriate conditions for 48 h. After this period, inhibition zones were measured using a calliper rule. A group with no modification by the nanoparticle was added as a control. The data was analyzed using Mann–Whitney (alpha = 5%). Results: Results are presented in Table 1. For the control group no inhibition zone was formed, so the statistical analyze was performed only between the experimental groups. Table 1. Means (SD) for inhibition halo (mm). No statistical difference was presented between the drugs. Drug Inhibition halo (mm) Control 0 CHX 4.8 (1.4) A MET 4.0 (1.6) A Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study it can be concluded that the addition of the nanoparticle carrying both drugs added an antibacterial activity that was not found in the commercial sealer.

    SARDO, A.V.N. ; CORRÊA, L. ; PRADO, F.C.R. ; FIGUEIREDO, A. ; ANDRADE, M.F. ; ZEZELL, D.M. . Avaliação da área epitelial marcada com CK 10 e CK 14 após fotobiomodulação em mucosite oral induzida por radiação gama. Brazilian Oral Research, v. 36, suppl 1, p. 143-143, 2022.

    Abstract: A mucosite oral (MO) decorre de tratamento quimoterápico e/ou radioterapico em cabeça e pescoço, podendo gerar úlceras que predispõem o paciente a quadros infecciosos e álgicos. A fotobiomodulação (PBM) com laser de baixa intensidade vem sendo destaque nos últimos anos, com bons resultados clínicos. Poucos trabalhos descrevem a ação da PBM na MO em relação ao amadurecimento epitelial. As citoqueratinas 10 e 14 (CK10 e CK14) são exemplos de proteínas que podem auxiliar este raciocínio, sendo a CK 10 característica de queratinócitos com maior grau de diferenciação e a CK14 de queratinócitos em camadas menos diferenciadas. Este trabalho avaliou a extensão da área epitelial marcada por meio de imunohistoquímica, positiva para CK10 e CK14, em MO radioinduzida em língua de ratos e tratada por PBM com laser 660 nm e 789 nm, comparados com grupo não tratado. As amostras foram coletadas nos dias 8 e 20 após a sessão de irradiação. A área expressando CK10 foi estatisticamente maior no grupo tratado com laser vermelho no vigésimo dia do experimento em relação aos demais grupos. Para a CK 14, não houve diferença estatística na quantidade de área marcada, mas sim na distribuição da marcação desta proteína pelo epitélio, que nos grupos tratados com PBM encontrava-se restrita a camada basal e no grupo controle encontrava-se também marcada em camadas mais superiores do epitélio. Conclui-se que a PBM no tratamento de MO com laser 660 nm aumentou a marcação de CK10 e, para ambos os comprimentos de onda, restringiu a marcação da CK14 a extratos basais de epitélio, como é esperado em epitélios normais.

    Abstract: Avaliar o efeito da aplicação tópica de flúor (12.300 μF-/g) associada a irradiação com laser de Nd:YAG (84 J/cm2) na desmineralização superficial do esmalte, utilizando imagens de Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV). Utilizou-se 60 amostras de esmalte humano (CAAE: 02854118.3.0000.0075), divididas em 4 grupos: Controle Negativo, Flúor, Laser e Flúor + Laser (n=15). Após os tratamentos, os grupos foram subdivididos em 3 (n=5), para ciclagem de pH in vitro simulando três condições diferentes: pH 5 (abaixo do pH crítico do esmalte), pH 4,5 (abaixo do pH crítico do esmalte na presença do flúor) e pH 4 (investigativo). Quatro imagens por amostras foram obtidas por MEV a 15 kV, em aumento de 4.000X. As imagens foram classificadas como esmalte hígido, desmineralização leve, moderada ou severa. Para análise estatística, realizou-se uma normalização, onde a classificação de desmineralização severa foi equiparada a 100% de desmineralização, 0 foi equiparado à classificação saudável e as demais classificações foram proporcionais. Em pH 5, os grupos Flúor, Laser e Flúor + Laser não tiveram diferenças significativas entre si (p>0,05). Em pH 4,5, o grupo Flúor + Laser teve o menor percentual de desmineralização (p<0,05). Já em pH 4, não houve diferença significativa entre nenhum grupo. Os dados sugerem que o tratamento de Flúor + Laser tem ação preventiva mesmo em pH abaixo do crítico para esmalte na presença do flúor (pH 4,5). Além disso, indica que possivelmente este tratamento altera o pH crítico da estrutura para valores entre 4,5 e 4, ampliando o poder preventivo do flúor.

    ANA, P.A. ; TABCHOURY, C.P.M.; CURY, J.A.; ZEZELL, D.M. . Effect of Er,Cr:YSGG laser and fluoride application on enamel demineralization. Caries Research, v. 41, n. 4, p. 325-326, 2007. DOI: 10.1159/000103637

    Abstract: This study evaluated the influence of sub-ablative Er,Cr:YSGG laser and topical fluoride application on incipient caries development in vitro. One hundred and sixty human enamel slabs were ramdomly divided into eight equal groups: (1) untreated (control); (2–4) irradiated with Er,Cr:YSGG laser at 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 W, respectively; (5) treated with acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF; 1.23% F) for 4 min; (6–8) pre-irradiated with Er,Cr:YSGG laser at 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 W, respectively and subjected to APF application. All groups were submitted to pH-cycling simulating a cariogenic challenge, and after 10 cycles mineral loss ( Δ Z) was measured in enamel. Calcium, inorganic phosphorus (P i ) and fluoride concentrations were also measured in the demineralizing and remineralizing pH-cycling solutions. Data were analyzed by ANOVA ( α = 0.05). No differences in Δ Z were found between laser irradiation at 0.25 W, 0.50 W and controls, while after laser irradiation at 0.75 W (Group 4) and application of APF (Group 5) there was a significant decrease in Δ Z. Laser irradiation at 0.50 and 0.75 W prior to APF application there was a significantly lower Δ Z than in other groups. A significant increase in Ca and P i concentrations was observed in demineralizing solutions compared to the initial concentrations, but no significant changes in Ca and P i concentrations were detected between any groups. A significant decrease in fluoride concentration was observed in pH-cycling solutions of control and 0.25 W laser groups, while the association of laser at 0.50 and 0.75 W with fluoride promoted an increase of fluoride content in remineralizing solutions. In conclusion, Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation at 0.50 and 0.75 W, associated with fluoride, seems to be a good alternative for reducing enamel demineralization.

    NASCIMENTO, ANA C.G. ; GALISTEO JUNIOR, ANDRES J.; SILVA, GIOVANA D. da ; ROCHA, LEONARDO W.P. de S. ; VIEIRA, DANIEL P. . Effective methodology for maintaining Toxoplasma gondii in vitro using paramagnetic iron nanoparticles to support three-dimensional cell culture. Biophysical Reviews, v. 13, n. 6, p. 1466-1466, 2021. DOI: 10.1007/s12551-021-00845-2

    Abstract: INTRODUCTION Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that infects approximately one billion people worldwide. Upon infection, the host may die due to latent infection or presence with chronic cysts in brain, retina or muscle tissue. Humans can become infected consuming water or foods contaminated with oocysts or eating undercooked meat. Its virulent form is difficult to replicate in vitro, requiring additional steps using experimental animals. The use of nanotechnology can contribute to this in vitro production, through the three-dimensional cultivation of mouse fibroblast cells (NIH / 3T3 ATCC ® CRL-1658™) and nanoparticles synthesized with radiation. OBJECTIVES The objective of this work was to demonstrate the three-dimensional culture of fibroblast cells aggregated to nanoparticles for inoculation the T. gondii. MATERIALS AND METHODS This methodology was created to facilitate parasite management and replication. For the production of nanoparticles, the work used concentrations of iron sulfate II heptahydrate (Fe2SO4.7H2O, CAS 7782-63-0) and glycine (NH2CH2COOH, CAS 56-40-6) diluted in ultrapure water free ofO2 at pH 12. This solutionwas irradiated by electron beam of the IPEN / CNEN-SP Radiation Technology Center in doses of at least 15 and at most 30kGy. Paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (PION’s) were then adsorbed on cell membranes, and cells were kept together by a magnetic field. Structured spheroids (4 day of culture) were infected with 106 parasites (RH strain) and the infection was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy. DISCUSSION AND RESULTS Tachyzoiteswere found inside 3T3 cells, assuring that the spheroid can be a suitable culture substrate to T. gondii in vitro propagation. CONCLUSION A three-dimensionalmethodology for in vitro cultivation of the parasite is perhaps the key for applications in the study of toxoplasmosis, as it has a fast, cheap, efficient production (yield and reduction of contamination).

    Abstract: O objetivo desse estudo foi desenvolver nanocompósitos experimentais adicionados com nanopartículas de Montmorilonita (MMT) incorporadas com diacetato de clorexidina (CHX) como carga, em uma matriz polimérica a base de BisGMA/TEGDMA (1:1). Foram confeccionados compósitos experimentais (n=5) adicionados com carga nas concentrações de 0.01, 0.5, 2 e 10% em massa (p/p). A liberação da CHX foi avaliada in vitro em uma solução neutra (pH 7, 50mm) a 37 oC, por 366 horas. A quantificação de CHX foi avaliada por espectrofotometria de UV (λ=255 nm). A formação de nanocompósitos foi avaliada por meio das metodologias Microscopia Eletrônica de Transmissão (MET) e Difração de Raio-X (DRX). Foi observada uma liberação de fármaco constante em todos os grupos analisados, de 0 a 366 horas. Ao atingir 366 horas, o grupo adicionado com 0,01% de carga apresentou 0.126 g.L-1 de liberação de CHX, o grupo com 0.5% apresentou 0.139 g.L-1, o grupo com 2% apresentou 0.150 g.L-1 e o grupo com 10% apresentou 0.151 g.L-1. Observou-se por meio do DRX e MET que houve intercalação entre a MMT (adicionada com CHX) e a matriz polimérica, em todos os grupos avaliados. Concluiu-se que houve a formação de nanocompósitos e que os mesmos promoveram constante liberação de CHX entre 0 a 366 horas. Esses resultados evidenciaram um forte potencial no desenvolvimento de nanocompósitos contendo fármaco antimicrobiano para aplicação odontológica.

    Abstract: Primary snoring and severe apnea are considered sleep-disordered breathing and represent different degrees of severity of the same disorder which affects around one billion people worldwide. It is more common in men and the elderly. The noise is caused by the soft tissues's vibration in the regions of greatest constriction of the upper airways. Increased cardiovascular risk, emergence of chronic diseases and use of medications are due to the progression and evolution of the disease. After determining optimal irradiation conditions, this study aimed to evaluate the treatment of snoring with sequential high-intensity non-ablative irradiation with two pulsed lasers Nd:YAG and Er:YAG comparing the results before and after treatment. A randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial is underway with the approval of the research ethics committee. To date, 32 of 40 volunteers transitioning between primary snoring and moderate obstructive sleep apnea have been treated in three sessions of nonablative laser irradiation, 14 days apart. The volume of the oropharyngeal space for air passage was analyzed by photographic record according to the modified Mallampati index. Oxygen saturation, snoring severity and sleep quality will also be evaluated. The primary clinical outcome obtained was the expansion of the upper airway lumen by reducing tissue compliance and, therefore, reducing or eliminating snoring, in an outpatient procedure. The reduction of snoring is due to the decrease in tissue compliance.

    Abstract: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) used in this study, is a new non invasive optical detection technique. The OCT system is based on a Michelson interferometer, that generates a crosssectional image of the teeth with resolution up to 2 microns. The buccal surface from the third molar teeth was used to induce caries like lesions. This surface was coated with an acid resistant nail varnish except a small window. The pH demineralizationremineralization cycling model was used to produce the lesions. This cycle was repeated for 9 days and remained in the remineralizing solution for 2 days. The OCT system was implemented by using an ultrashort pulse laser (Ti:Al2O3@830nm) with 50fs of pulse width and average power of 80mW. The laser beam was focused into the teeth providing a lateral resolution of 10 microns. Image was produced with a lateral and axial scans steps of 10 microns. After analyzing the surface by OCT it was possible to produce a tomogram of dentine-enamel junction and it was compared with the histological image. This OCT system accurately depicts dental tissue and it was able to detect early caries in its structure, providing a powerful contactless high resolution 3D images of lesions.

    VILLAS BOAS, CRISTIAN A.W. ; MENGATTI, JAIR ; PASSOS, PRISCILA ; VIEIRA, DANIEL ; ARAUJO, ELAINE B. de . In vitro response of 177Lu-PSMA-617 with two different specific activities. Journal of Nuclear Medicine, v. 61, supplement 1, 2020.

    Abstract: Introduction: PSMA-617 radiolabeled with lutetium-177 has shown good results in compassionate studies around the world. Being a receptor-specific radiopharmaceutical, the specific activity (SA) of the preparation may represent an important factor for therapeutic efficacy. Lutetium-177 can be produced by two different routes: with ytterbium-176 (Non-carrier-added or NCA) and with lutetium-176 (Carrier-added or CA). The SA (MBq/ug) of the labeled PSMA varies accordingly to each lutetium. For NCA lutetium, the radiolabeling procedure is based on the SA of 74 MBq/ug. When the radiolabeling is performed with CA lutetium, SA is determined by the molar ratio of 2.1:1 (PSMA moles/lutetium moles declared in the certificate), resulting in lower SA than NCA. This work evaluated the influence of specific activity of 177Lu-PSMA-617 on in vitro specific binding assays (saturation, competition and internalization). Materials and Methods: Radiolabeling of PSMA-617 (ABX, Germany) with lutetium-177 was performed in heating block at 90°C for 30 minutes with sodium ascorbate (0.5 M pH 4.7) as buffer. For NCA lutetium (JSC, Russia) the radiopharmaceutical specific activity was 74 MBq/ug. For CA lutetium (IDB, Netherlands), the specific activity was 41 MBq/ug. The radiochemical purity was analyzed with HPLC. For all experiments, 6-well plates were used for adherence cells with 200,000 LNCaP per well. Molar concentration of saturation curves experiments were 0.01; 0.05; 0.6; 1.5; 3.0 and 3.5 for CA lutetium and 0.1; 0.6; 1.5; 2.0; 2.5 and 3.0 for NCA lutetium. After 1 hour of incubation at 8 ºC, supernatant was removed, then washed with PBS (phosphate buffer saline) and finally cells were burst with NaOH 1 M, and activity was measured in gama counter; the experiments were performed in octuplicate. Competition experiments were performed adding in all wells 5 nM of radiolabeled PSMA-617 and in the competition well (non-specific binding) were added an excess of 15 times (76 ug) of non radiolabeled PSMA-617. After 1 hour of incubation at 8 ºC, supernatant was removed, then washed with PBS and finally cells were burst with NaOH 1 M, and activity was measured in gama counter, these experiments were performed in triplicate. The specific binding was obtained by the difference between total binding and non-specific binding. Internalization experiments were performed at Kd of NCA and CA lutetium. After 1 hour of incubation at 37 ºC, supernatant was removed, washed with PBS, then washed again with 0.05 M glycine solution pH 2.8 and finally cells were burst with NaOH 1 M. Activity was measured in gama counter, these experiment were performed in sextuplicate. Results and discussion: The radiochemical purity were 98% and 99% for labeling with NCA and CA lutetium, respectively. Saturation curve assay with NCA lutetium shown a Kd of 0.7 ± 0.15 nM and a Bmax of 857 ± 55.79 pMol/ng, and with CA lutetium resulted in a Kd of 1.71 ± 0.45 nM and a Bmax of 1156 ± 113.8 pMol/ng. The variation between both Kd curves were statistically different (P value = 0.0058). Competition assay demonstrated an effective blocking for both types of lutetium, for NCA unpaired T test shown a P value of 0.0011. For CA lutetium, the unpaired test disclosed a P value of 0.0258. The comparison between both results revealed a P value of 0.01 at the specific binding. Internalization assay shown for both types of lutetium similar results, 27.1 ± 2.45% and 30.6 ± 4.97%, for CA and NCA lutetium, respectively, and was not statistically significant (P value = 0.17). Conclusions: These experiments demonstrated that the type of lutetium (CA or NCA) directly affects in vitro binding of 177Lu-PSMA-617 to receptors expressed in LNCaP cells. It was statistically demonstrated that the higher specific activity of 177Lu-PSMA-617, more radiolabeled peptide can bind to cells at saturation and competition assays.

    YOSHIMURA, TANIA ; RIBEIRO, MARTHA S. . Photobiomodulation activates glucose uptake in brown adipose tissue of obese mice. Lasers in Medical Science, v. 35, n. 1, p. 280-280, 2020. DOI: 10.1007/s10103-019-02900-7

    Abstract: Mammal fat consists ofwhite and brown adipose tissues (WATand BAT). Although most fat is energy-storing WAT, brown adipocytes dissipate energy as heat. Obese subjects exhibit BAT hyporesponsiveness to classical stimuli as cold, hence increasing BAT thermogenic capacity could be an i n t er e s t i n g t a rget f o r t r eating obesity. Photobiomodulation (PBM) seems to be a feasible alternative to activate BAT, although it has not been applied for this purpose until now. In this study, adult C57Bl/6 mice were fed with a hyperlipidic diet (HF) during 15 weeks to induce obesity. Then, they were divided into two groups: HF and HF660. The interscapular BAT of HF660 mice was exposed to a single irradiation using a 662 ± 20 nm LED (5.7 Jcm-2 at 19 mWcm-2, delivered during 300 s). The HF group was sham-irradiated. Eutrophic animals were also used. Animals received 200 mCi of 18F-FDG and were exposed to cold for basal register of PET-CT images. After PBM or sh am treat ment, mice were once again exposed to cold before PET-CT image acquisition. Our results showed that PBM was able to activate BAT in obese mice through higher glucose uptake. In contrast, PBM and shamirradiated normal fed mice presented similar levels of glucose uptake. Taking together, our findings suggest that PBM applied to the BAT is able to promote glucose uptake by obese mice and could be an interesting approach to manage obesity and its correlated morbidities.

    FONTES-OLIVEIRA, Y.R. ; CARAMEL-JUVINO, A. ; AVELINO, S.G. ; ZEZELL, D.M. . Protocolos de associação de flúor e laser de alta potência (Nd:YAG) na prevenção da cárie: revisão de literatura. Brazilian Oral Research, v. 36, suppl 1, p. 346-346, 2022.

    Abstract: Avaliar os protocolos publicados para prevenção da cárie utilizando associação de flúor e laser Nd:YAG. Foram utilizadas seis bases de dados: Web-of-Science, PubMed, ResearchGate, Google Acadêmico, LILACS e Scielo. Dos 115 artigos inicialmente coletados, foram excluídas as duplicatas, artigos com dentes bovinos, artigos sem flúor gel ou que abordavam erosão. Foram selecionados 12 artigos. Sobre os efeitos do tratamento, os artigos relataram que a irradiação laser promove fusão e re-solidificação da superfície, tornando-a mais ácido-resistente. Quando associado a fluoretos, este laser aumenta a superfície de contato para a ação do flúor, potencializando os seus efeitos. Analisando os parâmetros utilizados na irradiação, a maior parte (50%) usou 0,6W de potência e 84,9 J/cm² de fluência, seguido pelos valores menores 0,5W e 70,7 J/cm² (16,6%). Estes parâmetros foram considerados seguros em estudos que avaliam a possibilidade de dano térmico à polpa. Dentre os estudos que compararam os efeitos da aplicação de flúor prévia ou posteriormente à irradiação laser, apenas 8,3% relataram que o tratamento sinérgico com laser de Nd:YAG e flúor não foi mais eficaz do que o flúor isolado. Já 33,3% apresentaram melhores efeitos com a aplicação de flúor depois do laser e 8,3% obtiveram melhores resultados com aplicação antes do laser. 8,3% concluíram que o resultado independe da ordem. O protocolo de 0,6W de potência e 84,9 J/cm² de fluência, com aplicação de flúor posterior a irradiação laser, apresentou resultados satisfatórios na prevenção da cárie para a maioria dos estudos.

    ALIBHAI, A.Y.; PRETTO, LUCAS R. de ; MOULT, ERIC; SCHOTTENHAMML, JULIA; OR, CHRIS; ARYA, MALVIKA; MCGOWAN, MITCHELL; BAUMAL, CAROLINE; WITKIN, ANDRE J.; DUKER, JAY S.; FUJIMOTO, JAMES G.; WAHEED, NADIA K.. Quantitative analysis of capillary non-perfusion in diabetic retinopathy using widefield OCT-angiography. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, v. 59, n. 9, 2018.

    Abstract: Purpose : Several OCT angiography (OCTA) studies suggest an association between capillary non-perfusion, a surrogate for retinal ischemia, and diabetic retinopathy (DR) severity. However, due to technical limitations, these studies focused on either 3x3mm or 6x6mm fields of view centered on the macula. In contrast, widefield fluorescein angiography (FA) studies suggest that the majority of capillary non-perfusion in early DR occurs outside of the macular region. The recent development of high-speed, widefield OCTA systems, has for the first time allowed non-invasive visualization of retinal vasculature over wider fields of view—a functionality that, in light of previous widefield FA studies, may be promising for early detection and monitoring of DR. This study aims to couple the recent technological advances in high-speed, widefield OCTA with image processing methods to allow for semi-automatic quantitative analysis of capillary non-perfusion of widefield OCTA images of diabetic eyes. Methods : A semi-automatic, texture-based algorithm that detects areas of non-perfusion on 12x12mm SS-OCTA images from the Zeiss PlexElite™ system was developed. We tested the algorithm on a series of patients with diabetes without DR (28 eyes, 21 subjects; 54.8 ± 10.9 y/o), eyes with non-proliferative DR (NPDR) (24 eyes, 16 subjects; 62.1 ± 13.2 y/o) and eyes with proliferative DR (PDR) (21 eyes, 14 subjects; 52.2 ± 12.7 y/o). Results : There was a general trend of increasing capillary non-perfusion with increasing DR severity; however, there was significant overlap between patients having different DR severities (Fig. 1). Conclusions : Quantitative analysis of widefield OCTA images may be useful for early detection and monitoring for diabetic retinopathy progression in diabetics. Additional work is needed to determine the added value of widefield OCTA.

Removal of laminates with Er,Cr:YSGG laser from dental enamel submitted to gamma radiation. Photobiomodulation, Photomedicine, and Laser Surgery, v. 37, n. 10, p. A21-A21, 2019. DOI: 10.1089/photob.2019.29013.abstracts

    Abstract: Background: Modern Dentistry is characterized by the search for aesthetic perfection in the smile. Many efforts are made regarding procedures related to manufacturing, cementing, maintenance and removal of ceramic laminates. The laser removal of laminates has become more frequent when the aesthetical procedures needs to be replaced. On the other hand, the head and neck cancer treatment causes comorbidities in the buccal environment when laminates are in place. Objective: To evaluate in vitro the removal of ceramic fragments by means of Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation, after gamma radiation. Methods: 20 Lithium disilicate veneers were cemented with Variolink to human dental enamel and then samples were irradiated with 0.07 kGy. After gamma irradiation, the laminates removal with Er,Cr:YSGG laser was performed. The control group was not subjected to gamma radiation. Dental enamel samples were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Surface Microhardness Loss (SMH). Results: SEM has shown that less cement was found after removal of the facets in gamma irradiated group when compared to the control. For both groups there was alteration of the SMH possibly due to the use of the adhesive system. When performed intra group analysis, the sample being its own control of baseline in the FTIR analysis, there were no band shifts or formation of new compounds on the surface of human dental enamel. Conclusions: The Er,Cr:YSGG laser is an effective alternative for laminates removal in human dental enamel even when it is subjected to gamma radiation.

    LIMA, MAYELLE M.P. ; NASCIMENTO, PAMELA F. do ; NASCIMENTO, ANA C.G. ; VIEIRA, DANIEL P. . A simple and quick method to generate in vitro tridimensional tumor bodies from a human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7) using magnetic aggregation technique. Biophysical Reviews, v. 13, n. 6, p. 1470-1470, 2021. DOI: 10.1007/s12551-021-00845-2

    Abstract: INTRODUCTION Tumor physiology studies have to rely on efficient and representative models, as animal-based or in vitro tridimensional cell constructs. The work used magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles produced by electron-beam induced chemical reduction to give cells the ability to form aggregates when submitted to a magnetic field, and thus to produce micro tumors in vitro. OBJECTIVES The work aimed to produce human breast adenocarcinoma mini tumors (BAMT's) in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS Paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (PION’s) were synthesized through electron-beam induced Fe3+ reduction and subsequent coprecipitation. Due to its poly-L-lysine coating, PION’s were adsorbed on cell membranes ofMCF7 (human breast adenocarcinoma). Cells were seeded in 24-well cell culture plates pre-treated overnight with Pluronic® F-127 to prevent cell adhesion and kept in culture conditions under magnetic fields for at least 6 days. BAMT's were differentially stained with Hoescht 33342 and ethidium bromide and imaged by wide-field fluorescence microscopy. DISCUSSION AND RESULTS BAMT's appeared as integer and well-defined cellular aggregates, with sparse dead cells stained by ethidium bromide. These structures can be further used for in vitro tumor studies, as BAMT’s are supposed to be more reliable models than monolayer cultures. Treatment of wells with poloxamer caused a mild to moderated cell-repellent effect, similar to those found in commercially available products, only by a fraction of the cost. CONCLUSION The experiments succesfully produced mini tumors prone to be used in in vitro studies.

    VIEIRA, DANIEL P. . Three-dimensional cellular culture system for testing of biological effects of radiations in tumoral and non-tumoral models. Biophysical Reviews, v. 13, n. 6, p. 1521-1521, 2021. DOI: 10.1007/s12551-021-00844-3

    Abstract: In vitro cell cultures are a well-known controlled test system used to analyze tumor physiologic responses upon negative stimuli. Updated techniques, us-ing three-dimensional organization of cells in cultures, are being increasingly used to this purpose. Research organizations and industry are striving to pro-duce in vitro tumor surrogates that could be better test systems to antitumor agents as new compounds or to study radiation effects on cancers. The presentation will show some techniques currently used to build and maintain these specific cell cultures, and how experiments are evolving towards the production of tumoroids, or tumoral organoids, which will include various cell types and additive manufacturing.
