Authors: Amberg Nora , Magda Robert
Published: July 2018

Our research deals with environmental pollution, sustainability, and the impacts made by international cosmetic companies on the motivation of purchasing organic cosmetics. Unfortunately, our environment is becoming more and more polluted, which affects our planet Earth on a global scale. It is everybody’s responsibility to decrease the environmental load, diminish our ecological footprint and leave a much cleaner and safer environment to the future generation in line with the principles of sustainable development. We have examined global environmental problems, the efforts made by international cosmetic companies to protect the environment and their impact on the preference, selection and purchase of environmentally friendly cosmetics. Nowadays, efforts of significant importance are prioritised that are more and more shifted to health and environmental consciousness regarding both corporate and consumer behaviour.
Measurement of Methane and Other Atmospheric Pollutants Emitted by Flooded Paddy Fields
Authors: Dimitrova Svetla
Published: July 2018

The increase of methane concentration has been established during the last decades. This gas has a relative potential for thermal absorption, 30 times higher than CO2, which means that it is more active in the interaction with the ozone and its blocking. About 70% of the global total emission of methane in the atmosphere is of biogenic origin. Flooded paddy fields are one of the main sources of atmosphere pollutions with methane. Irrigation of rice fields by overflowing reduces the feeding of the ground with oxygen from the air. This in turn affects the fermentation of organic substances in the ground. Methane is the final product in this process. The measurement was performed in the phase of rice earing by an authorized laboratory associated to the Executive Environment Agency at the Ministry of Waters and Environment by means of methods specified by the Ministry. The concentrations of damaging substances were automatically measured at every 60 min for SO2, NO2, NO, and at every 30 min for H2S, CH4, NMHC, CO, and NH3. The obtained results prove that the concentrations of NO, H2S, CH4 and NMHC exceed all limits. The quantity of gases is influenced by the variety peculiarities of the culture (the roots mass, the total bio-mass and the running metabolic processes).

Authors: Vishnevsky K. A. , Rumyantsev A. Sh. , Korosteleva N. Yu.
Published: July 2018

The article reflects modern ideas about the causes and mechanisms of the physical functioning disorders in patients with chronic kidney  disease receiving program hemodialysis. Various types of physical  activity are considered and the rationale for their use in dialysis  patients is justified. The diagnostics possibilities of the protein- energy deficiency main variants are presented. Possible directions  for their correction are outlined. The possibilities and methods of  regular physical training in such a complex cohort of patients with  changes in almost all the basic systems of the body are described in  detail. For patients who cannot perform physical exercises in a  training mode, a new rehabilitation technique was developed and  tested on a representative sample, and a new rehabilitation  technique that was not previously used in nephrology – a cutaneous  bilateral electrostimulation of the muscles of the lower extremities –  was justified and considered in detail. The authors give their own data on long-term follow-up of patients, which confirm the  possibilities of the presented methods not only in terms of improving physical performance, but also in improving the adequacy  of dialysis and the quality of life.

Knowledge gaps were identified and a prioritized research agenda  was proposed to resolve outstanding controversial issues.
THYROID DYSFUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE: THE STATE OF THE PROBLEM AND THE WAYS OF SOLVING
Authors: Volkova A. R. , Dygun O. D. , Lukichev B. G. , Dora S. V. , Galkina O. V.
Published: July 2018

Disturbance of the thyroid function is often detected in patients with different profiles. A special feature of patients with chronic kidney  disease is the higher incidence of various thyroid function  disturbances, especially hypothyroidism. It is known that in patients  with chronic kidney disease (CKD) iodine excretion from the body is  violated, since normally 90% of iodine is excreted in urine.  Accumulation of high concentrations of inorganic iodine leads to the  formation of the Wolf-Chaikoff effect: suppression of iodine  organization in the thyroid gland and disruption of the thyroid  hormones synthesis. Peripheral metabolism of thyroid hormones is  also disturbed, namely, deiodinase type I activity is suppressed and  peripheral conversion of T4 into T3 is inhibited (so-called low T3  syndrome). Therefore, patients with CKD are often diagnosed with  hypothyroidism, and the origin of hypothyroidism is not always  associated with the outcome of autoimmune thyroiditis. The article  presents an overview of a large number of population studies of  thyroid gland dysfunction in patients with CKD, as well as  experimental data specifying the pathogenetic mechanisms of  thyroid dysfunction in patients with CKD. Therapeutic tactics are still  not regulated. However, in a number of studies, replacement therapy with thyroid hormones in patients with CKD had some advantages.

Authors: Lukichev B. G. , Rumyantsev A. Sh. , Akimenko V.
Published: July 2018

Interest in studying the role of the gastrointestinal tract in maintaining homeostasis in chronic kidney disease is a traditional one. It served, in particular, as a starting point for the  creation of enterosorbents. However, if earlier the main attention  was paid to the mechanical removal of a number of potentially  dangerous biologically active substances, recently an intestinal  microbiota has become an object of interest. The first part of the  literature review on this topic is devoted to questions of terminology, the normal physiology of the colon microbiota. A  detailed description of dysbiosis is given. The features of the main  groups of microorganisms are reflected. The hypothetical and  confirmed interrelations of the intestine-kidney axis are presented.  The pathogenetic mechanisms of the colon dysbiosis influence on the processes of local and systemic inflammation are discussed. The  influence of dysbiosis on the state of the kidney parenchyma and its  participation in the progression of CKD are debated.
QUALITY OF LIFE IN RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS
Authors: Vasilieva I. A.
Published: July 2018

THE AIM. To assess quality of life (QOL) in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form  (KDQOL-SFTM) questionnaire which includes specific for renal  replacement therapy questions, and to compare QOL of KTR and hemodialysis (HD) patients.

PATIENTS AND METHODS. 41 KTR and 142 HD patients were included in the study. The KDQOL-SF questionnaire was used for QOL evaluation.

RESULTS. Compared with HD patients, KTR scored higher on the majority of self-assessed physical health parameters (Physical  Functioning, Pain, General Health, Physical Component Summary). Significant differences were observed for two of the five  scales representing psychosocial component of QOL – Vitality and  Social Functioning. Overall health rating was also higher in KTR.  These patients were frustrated by the burden of kidney disease and  its limiting impact on daily activities to a lesser degree. The  frequency of patients’ complaints decreased. 39% of HD patients  reported being bothered by itchy skin, among KTR – only 8%.  Soreness in muscles bothered 44% of HD patients and 22% of KTR,  numbness in hands or feet – 33% of HD patients and 13% of KTR.  Limited ability to travel was bothersome for 75% of HD patients and 42% of KTR. 38% of KTR, and 29% of HD patients were employed.

CONCLUSION. As far as we know, the presented study is the first in our country to report about QOL in KTR where QOL was measured  using a questionnaire containing items specific for renal replacement  therapy. It was shown that KTR scored higher than HD  patients on the majority of KDQOL-SF scales.

Published: July 2018

THE AIM: to study diagnostic and prognostic significance of blood serum cytokine status evaluation in children with different nosological forms of kidney diseases.

PATIENTS AND METHODS. The study included 255 children with various kidney diseases (kidney stone disease (KSD) – 16, with  infectious kidney diseases (IKD) – 174, with a glomerulopathy (GP)  – 65). In all study groups were dominant children with 1st and 2nd  stage of CKD (100%, 97,5% and 95,4% respectively). The control group included 50 virtually healthy children. All patients  determined level of TNF-α, TNF-RI and TNF-RII, IL-10, TGF-β1 and TGF-β3, IL2, IL2-SR in blood serum.

RESULTS.Increase of TNF-α level in blood serum can be considered as a highly specific marker of acute pielonephritis chronization, as  well as decrease of TNF-RII concentration can be considered as a  marker of full clinical and laboratory pielonephritis remission. The  increase in TNF-α and TNF-RI can also be considered as a marker of autoimmune inflammation. Deficiency of IL-2, IL-10 and TGF-β3  with an increase in IL-2 R in blood should be used as a marker of  bacterial-inflammatory and autoimmune kidney diseases, and TGF- β1 increase as an early marker of nephrosclerosis, especially in  patients with glomerulonephritis. The increase of the inflammatory  index TNF-α / IL-10 more than 4 times, gives us  the opportunity to  position it as an additional diagnostic criterion for infectious and  autoimmune process in the kidneys. The increase in urinary  excretion of TNF-α with the decrease of IL-10 by maintaining  consistently high concentrations of TGF-β1 is a marker of  inflammation and fibrosis in infectious kidney diseases and  glomerulonephritis. Modern nephroprotection therapy directed at  slowing progression of CKD and its complications should include  modulation of cytokine status.
ETIOLOGY AND CLINICO-MORPHOLOGICAL PRESENTATION OF MEMBRANOPROLIFERATIVE GLOMERULONEPHRITIS IN RUSSIAN POPULATION
Authors: Dobronravov V. A. , Smirnov A. V.
Published: July 2018

THE AIM. Analysis of etiology, clinical and morphological manifestations, of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis  (MPGN).

PATIENTS AND METHODS. Retrospective analysis focused on etiology, clinical presentation, light and electron microscopy, immunoglobulins (Ig) and C3 complement component  (C3) deposits was done in the cohort of MPGN cases identified in the period 2000-2017. RESULTS. Two hundred and fourteen cases of  MPGN were included in the study (mean age of 44 ± 16 years). Most patients had nephrotic syndrome and significant hematuria. In  58.4% of cases, eGFR was <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, and every fifth  patient had CKD stages 4 or 5. The prevalence of MPGN among all  biopsy-confirmed glomerulopathies was 9.3%. Idiopathic MPGN  (iMPGN) was diagnosed in 30.4% of cases, while the proportion of  iMPGN cases significantly reduced along the study period. Secondary  MPGN (sMPGN) was identified in 69.6% of cases  (autoimmune diseases – 34.1%, infectious diseases – 16.4%,  monoclonal gammopathies – 9.3%, complement-mediated damage – 9.8%). Ig+C3+MPGN was mainly associated with autoimmune  diseases and infections, however 26,6% of such cases remained  “idiopathic”. C3-glomerulopathy or thrombotic microangiopathy were most often causes of Ig-C3+MPGN. Ig-C3-/Ig+C3-MPGN had  heterogeneous etiology.

 

CONCLUSION. MPGN is a severe variant of glomerular damage with a heterogeneous etiological structure. Targeted routine clinical and  morphological diagnostics of MPGN allows identifying the cause of  the disease in most cases. This approach is reliable for the adequate  treatment choice and improvement of outcomes in sMPGN. Further  improvement in diagnostic and classification approaches in idiopathic MPGN relies on progress in understanding of molecular etiopathogenesis of the disease.
CALCIFICATION OF THE AORTIC VALVE IN PATIENTS ON PROGRAM HEMODIALYSIS
Authors: Rumyantcev A. Sh. , Rafrafi H. , Galkina O. V.
Published: July 2018

THE AIM: to determine the relationship between non-traditional risk factors and calcification of the aortic valve in patients with CKD C5D.

PATIENTS AND METHODS. We examined 103 patients receiving treatment with program hemodialysis (53 men and 50 women, mean age 54.8 ± 15.2 years). A traditional nephrological examination was  carried out, including the determination of synchronous 24-hour ECG  and AD monitoring, an echocardiographic study evaluating the  thickness of the carotid arteries intima-media complex. In 79 patients, the status of vitamin D was determined by the enzyme immunoassay.

RESULTS.Traditional (age over 50, male and dyslipidemic) and non- traditional (duration of hemodialysis more than 5 years, calcitriol  level less than 10 pmol/L) risk factors for the calcification of the  aortic valve were revealed. The average concentration of calcifediol  in serum was 33.3 ± 13.8 nmol /L, calcitriol – 11.5 ± 6.9 pmol /L.  Calcification of the aortic valve was detected in 48 patients, 2 times  more often in men. Stenosis of the aortic valve was found in 28% of  men and 22% of women. During the first five years of HD, the  prevalence of aortic valve calcification increased 1,5 times and  continued to increase later, however, not to the degree of stenosis.  The risk of stenosis increased by age over 50 years (3,6 times), whereas the use of alfacalcidol was accompanied by a 70% decrease of stenosis risk. Deficiency of calcitriol (but not calcifediol) increased  the risk of calcification (but not stenosis) of the aortic valve in 2 times.

CONCLUSION.Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of developing extraosteal calcification, including aortic valve. A  decrease in the concentration of calcitriol in the blood serum is a  predictor for a specific lesion of the aortic valve. Adequate correction of phosphoric calcium exchange can serve as one of the methods for its prevention.
FREQUENCY RISK FACTORS AND OUTCOMES ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY IN THE EARLY PERIOD IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE AFTER CABG SURGERY
Authors: Bazylev V. V. , Gornostaev A. A. , Schegol’kov A. A. , Bulygin A. V.
Published: July 2018

AIM: To evaluate risk factors and prevalence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the early period after isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:The study included 830 patients with  isolated CABG. All surgeries were performed in 2016. To evaluate  kidney function in preoperative period glomerular filtration rate  (GFR) was estimated by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology  Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula. AKI was diagnosed according to  KDIGO criteria. Patients were stratified into two groups according to  estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

RESULTS:The prevalence of AKI in patients group without CKD after CABG was 11,5% (n=59), in CKD-AKI group – 12,3% (n=39).  In patients with CKD and after intraoperative inotropic/vasopressor  therapy use of only 2 medicinal drugs of this group the probability of  AKI development increases 11,16 times (OR 11,46; 95% CI 3,47- 37,83; р<0,01). During complete bypass (CB) when haematocrit  decreases on 1% AKI probability increases on 12,36% (OR 0,89; 95% CI 0,81-0,98; р=0,02). The necessity of haemodialisys,  duration of stay in intensive care unit and hospitalization duration  were equal to all groups. AKI-CKD development significantly increases intrahospital mortality (p<0,05). 

CONCLUSIONS: History of CKD increases probability of severe AKI and also mortality in early postoperative period. Revealed risk factors for AKI development are potentially modifiable.

Authors: Pamukoff Derek N. , Montgomery Melissa M. , Choe Kevin H. , Moffit Tyler J. , Garcia Steven A. , Vakula Michael N.
Published: July 2018

Background

Following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), individuals have quadriceps muscle impairments that influence gait mechanics and may contribute to an elevated risk of knee osteoarthritis.

Objectives

To compare running mechanics and quadriceps function between individuals who have undergone ACLR and those in a control group, and to evaluate the association between quadriceps function and running mechanics.

Methods

In this controlled, cross-sectional laboratory study, 38 individuals who previously underwent primary unilateral ACLR (mean ± SD time since reconstruction, 48.0 ± 25.0 months) were matched to 38 control participants based on age, sex, and body mass index, and underwent assessments of quadriceps muscle performance and running biomechanics. Quadriceps muscle performance was assessed via isokinetic and isometric knee extension peak torque and rate of torque development (RTD) over 2 time frames: 0 to 100 milliseconds (RTD100) and 0 to 200 milliseconds (RTD200). Running evaluation included assessment of the knee flexion angle (KFA), knee extension moment (KEM), rate of knee extension moment (RKEM), vertical instantaneous loading rate, and vertical impact peak.

Results

On average, there was a smaller KFA (P = .016) in the involved limb compared to the uninvolved limb in the ACLR group. Compared to limbs in the control group, involved limbs in the ACLR group had lower RTD100 (P = .015), lower peak torque at 60°/s (P = .007), lower peak torque at 180°/s (P = .016), smaller KFA (P<.001), lower KEM (P = .001), lower RKEM (P = .004), and higher vertical instantaneous loading rate (P = .016). Compared to limbs in the control group, uninvolved limbs in the ACLR group had lower RTD100 (P = .003), lower peak torque at 60°/s (P = .017), and smaller KFA (P = .01). For the involved limbs in the ACLR group, there was a low correlation between isokinetic peak torque at 180°/s and RKEM (r = 0.38, P = .01), and a negligible correlation between RTD100 and RKEM (r = 0.26, P<.05). No differences were found in isometric strength for any comparison.

Conclusion

Individuals who have undergone ACLR have bilateral alterations in running mechanics that are weakly associated with diminished quadriceps muscle performance. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2018;48(12):960–967. Epub 22 Jul 2018. doi:10.2519/jospt.2018.8170

Authors: Clewley Derek , Rhon Daniel I. , Flynn Timothy W. , Sissel Charles D. , Cook Chad E.
Published: July 2018

Background

The influence of prior patterns of health care utilization on future health care utilization has had minimal investigation in populations with musculoskeletal disorders.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between presurgical health care utilization and postsurgical health care utilization in a population of patients undergoing hip surgery in the US Military Health System.

Methods

In this observational cohort study, person-level data were collected for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy in the Military Health System from 2003 to 2015, capturing all encounters 12 months before and 24 months after surgery for every individual. Cluster analysis was used to categorize individuals with high and low health care utilization, based on preoperative health care visits. Unadjusted and adjusted Poisson and generalized linear models were generated. Health care utilization outcomes were targeted, including costs, visits, and medication use.

Results

There were 1850 individuals in the final cohort (mean age, 32.18 years; 55.4% male). The high health care utilization group averaged 57.69 ± 25.87 visits, compared to 20.43 ± 8.36 visits in the low utilization group. There were significant differences between groups for total health care visits (58.17; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 57.39, 58.58), total health care costs ($11 539.71; 95% CI: $10 557.26, $12 595.04), hip-related visits (12.77; 95% CI: 12.59, 12.96), hip-related costs ($3325.07; 95% CI: $2886.43, $3804.51), days' supply of pain medications (752.67; 95% CI: 751.24, 754.11), opioid prescriptions (48.83; 95% CI: 48.47, 49.21), and cost of pain medications ($1074.80; 95% CI: $1011.91, $1137.68).

Conclusion

Presurgical patterns of health care utilization were associated with postsurgical patterns of health care utilization, indicating that those patients who used more care before surgery also used more care after surgery. Clinicians should consider prior patterns of health care utilization, including utilization unrelated to the index condition, when determining care plans and prognosis.

Published: July 2018

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar como as políticas públicas de gênero para as mulheres foram inseridas no orçamento do município de Salvador no período de 2006 a 2017. A pesquisa possui natureza exploratória e a metodologia utilizada foi de abordagem qualitativa a partir da análise e da interpretação das políticas públicas inseridas nas leis orçamentárias do município de Salvador, aplicando-se o método de estudo de caso. A análise das leis orçamentárias permitiu identificar que, apesar de institucionalmente o município adotar a perspectiva de gênero, as políticas públicas inseridas nas leis orçamentárias do município de Salvador não levaram em consideração as diversidades sociais entre homens e mulheres e que os recursos alocados são inferiores ao definido no planejamento orçamentário, evidenciando uma ausência de acompanhamento pelo movimento social do processo de elaboração orçamentária.

Published: July 2018

Nesta edição temos a honra de apresentar uma entrevista realizada com Rubem Siqueira, da Comissão Pastoral da Terra – Regional Bahia e Coordenação Executiva Nacional. Nela encontramos dados que demonstram que estes tempos inóspitos têm significado para os povos do campo, das águas e das florestas, não só o aprofundamento da política contra a reforma agrária e os territórios dos povos originários e tradicionais, mas o recrudescimento da conflitividade e violência em níveis inéditos. No entanto, para o entrevistado, o recurso ao massacre, a “pedagogia do terror” se, por um lado, expressa a voracidade e a desfaçatez do capital pós-ruptura política, também aponta para a resistência dos povos e comunidades nos territórios, demonstrando o movimento de articulação para a construção de uma “teia dos povos”, que existem e não se entregam.

ABSTRACT Implementation of learning at the university level is expected to be conducted interactively and motivate students to participate actively in learning activities. But the reality in learning, still found learning problems about the low learning activities and student learning outcomes. While as an educator, lecturers should be able to know the problems in the learning process or lectures as an effort to improve the quality of learning. Solution to overcome the problem is by giving learning with Contextual Teaching and Learning approach (CTL) through observation method applied in Basic Ecology subject.The purpose of this research is to improve student achievement in Basic Ecology subject through learning with CTL approach and observation method. Expectations from the results of this study is as an information or input that the strategy and learning model with the method of observation can overcome the lack of activity and low student learning outcomes caused by the dominance of female students and the diversity of high school students so that the classroom climate is often noisy and reduced concentration at the time of learning. This research is experimental research, with one class of experiment of Biology student of FKIP Univet Bantara Sukoharjo second semester of class of 2016/2017 taking Basic Ecology subject. The data were collected using observation and test sheets. Technique of data analysis using T test analysis. From the analysis with T test Paired sample for two groups of dependent or pairs on pretest and postes data obtained Asymp results. Sig (2 -tailled) below 0.05 is 0.00 then Ho is rejected.

A completely unsymmetrical porous organic cage was synthesized from a C2v symmetrical building block that was identified by a computational screen. The cage was formed through a 12-fold imine condensation of a tritopic C2v symmetric trialdehyde with a di-topic C2 symmetric diamine in a [4+6] reaction. The cage was rigid and microporous, as predicted by the simulations, with an apparent Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area of 578 m2 g-1. The reduced symmetry of the tritopic building block relative to its topicity meant there were 36 possible structural isomers of the cage. Experimental characterization suggests a single isomer with 12 unique imine environments, but techniques such as NMR could not conclusively identify the isomer. Computational structural and electronic analysis of the possible isomers was used to identify the most likely candidates, and hence to construct a 3-dimensional model of the amorphous solid. The rational design of unsymmetrical cages using building blocks with reduced symmetry offers new possibilities in controlling the degree of crystallinity, porosity, and solubility, of self-assembled materials.
Felicidad y voces de mujeres en "Heroidas" de Ovidio
Authors: Blázquez Noya Alba
Published: July 2018

Las Heroidas de Ovidio han sido estudiadas en los últimos años como écriture féminine, puesto que las heroínas reescriben en sus cartas, ahora desde su perspectiva, las historias de sus vidas recogidas en los mitos y en la literatura. Desde este enfoque, el presente artículo estudia las voces de mujeres de las Heroidas con el fin de reflexionar sobre el modo en que cada una de esas voces que Ovidio presta a sus heroínas construye para sí el concepto de ‘felicidad’. Por tanto, en un estudio intratextual, señalaremos las variaciones concretas del tema de la ‘felicidad’ existentes en las Heroidas de Ovidio, que unas veces podemos encontrar en positivo, cuando cada escritora habla de sus momentos de alegría, y otras veces podemos definirlas antitéticamente a partir de la expresión de su sufrimiento, que puede ser causado por el amor, el matrimonio, las convenciones sociales, la traición o la culpa.
«Que los dos somos un alma / que se partió en dos mitades»: en torno a la amistad en la comedia española del Siglo de Oro
Authors: Rivera Salmerón Esperanza
Published: July 2018

Nuestros clásicos grecorromanos entendían la amistad como el culmen de toda relación humana y, por ende, como fuente imprescindible de felicidad. Partiendo de ellos, la tradición literaria fue fijando unos tópicos como reflejo de este sagrado vínculo, cuyos hitos principales serán estudiados en este artículo. Destacamos, en este sentido, el papel que representa el teatro barroco, realidad artística que sitúa la amistad como uno de sus motivos principales de conflicto dramático. A modo de ejemplo, analizaremos algunas comedias del dramaturgo barroco Felipe Godínez, quien privilegia este tema dentro de su producción teatral mediante la construcción de estructuras dramáticas que se fundamentan en la tradición y a través de una serie de recursos que serán recurrentes en toda la historia de la literatura.
Greek and Roman Classics understood friendship as the culmination of all human relationships and, therefore, as an essential source of happiness. This article will study the main topoi related to this sacred bond coming from the Classics. In this sense, we highlight the role played by baroque theater, an artistic reality that places friendship as one of its main reasons for dramatic conflict. As an example, we will examine some plays by the baroque playwright Felipe Godínez. Within its theater production, this author focuses on this specific topic by forming dramatic structures based on the tradition. He also employs a series of resources that will be recurrent throughout the history of the literature.
"Materia combustible": hacia una poética del amor
Authors: Rodriguez-Guridi Elena
Published: July 2018

Este ensayo está dedicado al poemario Materia combustible de Josefa Parra, el cual explora el proceso amoroso a través de la dialéctica entre vida y muerte. La hermenéutica que Parra lleva a cabo inscribe el encuentro trascendental con el otro en la temporalidad trágica del ser mortal. Este estudio se propone demostrar cómo, en esta exégesis, Parra revela un optimismo vital que concibe la memoria y la palabra como los medios para exorcizar la transitoriedad y el desengaño del amor. El acto recursivo de la lectura, asociado para la poeta con un renacimiento, resucita la posibilidad de lo trascendental que se pierde en la existencia mortal.

 

This essay is devoted to the poet Josefa Parra’s collection Combustible Matter, which explores the process of love through the dialectic between life and death. Parra’s hermeneutics inscribes the transcendent encounter with the other within the tragic temporality of mortal being. This study aims to demonstrate how, in Parra’s exegesis, she reveals a vital optimism that conceives memory and the word as the means of exorcising the transient nature and disappointment of love. The recursive act of reading, for the poet linked with rebirth, reawakens the possibility of the transcendent that is lost in mortal existence.

Todos hemos asistido –en un instante repentino– a la aparición de una certeza que atraviesa como llamarada los canales del pensamiento. El brote de sensaciones que experimentamos se convierte, por momentos, en incontrolable. Ha entrado en escena una claridad, una seguridad y síntesis del aparato cognitivo que creemos fruto de una iluminación. Pero no nos engañemos, esta aventura pasajera del sistema nervioso cobra la forma de una revelación, una emergencia de nuestro propio inconsciente, esa materia oscura en la que se fraguan el eureka, la epifanía y la serendipia.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar três diferentes tipos de soldagem: Chama Direta a maçarico (convencional\brasagem), Solda Mista representada por fixação de dois pontos (Solda Elétrica Fixator - Kernit, Brasil), e completada com solda convencional, e o método de Solda a Laser (Soldadora Desktop - Sisma LM 500, Itália). Dois implantes plataforma Bränemark 4.1 mm (Neodent, Curitiba/Brasil) foram fixados em uma matriz de alumínio para simular uma ponte fixa implanto-suportada de três elementos. Os espécimes foram obtidos a partir de um bloco de cera CAD-CAM (Ceramill-Amammgirrbarch). Trinta e duas UCLAs hexágono externo foram fresadas e posteriormente unidas a uma barra pré-fabricada em cera com 2,5mm. Os corpos de prova foram fundidos em liga de cobalto-cromo simulando uma prótese fixa de três elementos. Esses espécimes foram divididos aleatoriamente e separados em três grupos (n=6): grupo A (solda chama direta), grupo B (solda mista), grupo C (solda laser). Os espécimes foram seccionados ao meio e unidos com resina acrílica para simular uma soldagem em prótese fixa. Os corpos foram soldados e tratados de acordo com a proposição. Após a soldagem os corpos de prova foram usinados e levados ao teste de flexão na técnica de três pontos. Os dados foram submetidos aos testes estatísticos de Tukey. Os cálculos estatísticos foram conduzidos adotando-se o nível de significância de 5% (α = 0,05). Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os grupos soldados. Os resultados demonstraram valores mais elevados nos grupos A e B, solda convencional e solda mista, e menor valor no grupo C, solda a laser. No entanto, considerando a metodologia aplicada, a solda a laser mostrou uma menor resistência flexural comparada à soldagem convencional e mista, e a fixação prévia de solda elétrica com complemento de solda convencional (solda mista) não alterou a resistência flexural, produzindo resultado semelhante à solda convencional
Dissilicato de lítio: como potencializar a tenacidade a fratura clinicamente?
Authors: Bispo Luciano Bonatelli
Published: July 2018

As restaurações indiretas metalocerâmicas têm um largo tempo de acompanhamento clínico com alta taxa de sucesso. Contudo, a mudança na escala de valores dos conceitos estéticos e o apelo por um comportamento socioeconômico que transmita maior confiança e autoestima têm procurado substituir tais materiais. O grande problema da infraestrutura metálica é o chamado “sorriso metalocerâmico” que expõe a cinta metálica após recessão da margem gengival, constituindo-se fator indesejável. Visando contornar esse problema, aprimoramentos técnico-científicos têm procurado substitutos, tais como as coroas com ombros cerâmicos “colar-less”1, 2, 3, até o aprimoramento de novos sistemas vitro-cerâmicos com aumento do conteúdo de cristais que visam impedir a propagação de trincas, aumentando a tenacidade dessas estruturas e melhorando sua resistência mecânica. Entre os novos sistemas cerâmicos, os que empregam o dissilicato de lítio voltaram a ser explorados pela gama de aplicações clínicas, principalmente nos fragmentos cerâmicos e lentes de contato tão em moda. Sendo a tenacidade à fratura componente importante na escolha do sistema cerâmico, este trabalho tem o objetivo de esclarecer os reais mecanismos envolvidos na escolha do dissilicato de lítio como opção clínica para a confecção de restaurações indiretas contemporâneas
