Considering the probable causal association between the use of bisphosphonates and osteonecrosis of the jaw, as well as the high number of prescriptions and use these drugs every year, this paper aims to show different treatment. The combined use of ozone therapy and laser therapy in tissue regeneration and bone repair in patients with osteonecrosis induced by bisphosphonates, held by the discipline of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology, Paulista State University "Júlio de Mesquita Filho". Female patient, white, 53 years after a breast cancer had an evolution for bone metastases throughout the body, and start the chemotherapy treatment using intra-venous pamidronate 90 mg monthly from 2007 which has been used to the present day, due to disease stabilization. The patient sought the institution complaining of painful symptoms in the mandible and maxilla, and the clinical examination and CT were diagnosed initial sites suggestive of osteonecrosis induced by bisphosphonates. In seeking to reduce the symptoms and clinical signs, to prevent progress in the lesions, we recommend treatment by ozone therapy together to infrared low-power laser, which showed satisfactory reduction in bone necrosis sites. Although there are wide variations and difficulties in treatments for osteonecrosis induced by bisphosphonates, it was possible regression of the lesions through the joint processing applied, and the improvement in life expectancy of the patient.

Objective: To evaluate the bond strength between resin composite and different enamel substrates: sound enamel; demineralized enamel submitted or not to remineralization; and demineralized enamel infiltrated with aninfiltrating resin. Material and Methods: 120 bovine teeth were selected, the root portion was removed and the enamel finished. Specimens were divided into the following groups: (A) Control (n=24): adhesively treated and restored; (B) (n=96): the samples were immersed in a demineralization solution to create white spot lesions and divided into four subgroups: (B1) demineralized enamel; (B2) samples were stored in artificial saliva (8 weeks); (B3) samples were stored in a 0.05% sodium fluoride solution (1 min day/8 weeks); (B4) samples were treated with an infiltrant resin (Icon, DMG). The groups were treated with one of the following adhesives: Clearfil S3 Bond Plus (Kuraray) or Single Bond Universal (3M ESPE), followed by the resin composite application (Filtek Z 350 XT, 3M ESPE). The specimens were submitted to thermalcycling aging (10,000 ×; 2±5ºC, 50±55ºC and 37°± 2°C). The specimens were sectioned into prism shapes with ~1mm² of base and submitted to microtensile test. The collected data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey´s test (?= 5%). Results: The Means (±SD) in MPa were: Clearfill S3 Bond Plus: Control (17.17±3.52); B1 (11.60±0.74); B2 (6.83±1.87); B3 (8.38±1.59) and B4 (27.00±1.76); Single Bond Universal: Control (26.26±3.19); B1 (10.94±2.00); B2 (11.05±1.74); B3 (15.63±1.25) and B4 (22.60±2.29). Conclusion: The surface infiltrated with an infiltrating resin (Icon) did not negatively affect the bond strength between resin composite and enamel. The demineralized and remineralized groups with sodium fluoride and artificial saliva presented statistically lower results when compared to the other groups.

A Note on Lower Bounds of Eigenvalues of Fourth Order Elliptic Operators on Local Quasi-Uniform Grids
Authors: Li Youai 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
This paper is a generalization and improvement of some recent results concerned with the lower bound property of eigenvalues produced by the Morley element of the biharmonic operator.
Such an extension is of two fold. First, we generalize those results for the biharmonic operator to general fourth order elliptic operators; second, we extend them from quasi-uniform grids to local quasi-uniform grids.
In particular, for the general case, we prove the asymptotic lower bound property of the discrete eigenvalues under a very weak saturation condition in terms of local meshsizes which can in general not be improved; for the special case with B = 0, we show a similar result without any assumption except the fineness of the mesh.
These results can be regarded as a substantial improvement of a related result on regular meshes,
including adaptive local refined meshes, for general fourth order elliptic operators, due to Yang, Li and Bi [http://arxiv.org/abs/1509.00566], while the analysis herein is completely different and largely simpler than that in the above paper.

Published: April 2016

Summary

Meloidogyne enterolobii (Me) is an emerging root-knot nematode (RKN) and the most important worldwide for its high aggressiveness and increasing geographical distribution. In Mexico only in watermelon and tomato has been reported. Here we report the presence of this nematode in Jalapeño pepper collected in the state of Sinaloa. The morphological and morphometric characteristics of the second-stage juveniles and adult females were similar to those described for Me. DNA sequencing and alignment analysis (BLAST/GenBank) showed that the SCAR and rDNA IGS2 fragments had a 99 % of identity, with Me DNA sequences present in the database. The results obtained indicate that the RKN detected corresponds to M. enterolobii. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this nematode in chilli pepper in this region of Mexico, considered of major economic importance for the variety of vegetables grown and the extension of the area sown.

Summary
Despite its high prevalence and pathogenicity, Stilesia globipunctata is a neglected cestode infection of ruminants in the tropics and sub-tropics. The present study reports the effect of sex, age, year and month on the prevalence of S. globipunctata in the goat. A total of 5208 eviscerated intestines of the goat carcasses were screened for a period of seven years, from January 2001 to December 2007. The overall prevalence of 36.6 % was significantly affected by the factors studied (P<0.05). Male goats were more susceptible to the S. globipunctata infection than that of female (P<0.05). Goat aged between 6 months and 1 year were found to be significantly more susceptible (P<0.05) which was followed by animals between 1 and 4 years of age and then more than 4 years of age. Morbidity was high (59 to 86 %) in animals of less than one year of age. The striking observation was that the prevalence peaked during monsoon and at nadir in May.

Abstract
Objective: Human paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is an HDL-associated enzyme with anti-oxidant/anti-inflammatory properties that has been suggested to play an important protective role against coronary artery disease (CAD). The PON1 promoter -108C/T polymorphism has been analyzed in numerous association studies as a genetic marker for CAD, however, with controversial results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of PON-1 promoter -108C/T polymorphism with the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in the Tunisian male population.
Methods: A total of 815 subjects were recruited, including 318 healthy controls and 497 MI patients. Genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP method. Genotype/allele frequencies were compared in patients and controls using the chi-square test.
Results: Genotype distributions and allele frequencies of PON-1 promoter -108C/T polymorphism were different among the control and MI groups. Patients with MI had significantly higher frequency of the TT genotype compared to controls [29.2% vs. 25.5%; OR (95% CI), 1.67 (1.52-2.49); p=0.010]. The MI patient group showed a significant higher frequency of the T allele compared to the controls [0.56 vs. 0.51; χ2=8.61, p=0.013]. The association between the PON-1 promoter -108C/T polymorphism and MI remained significant after adjustment for other well-established cardiovascular risk factors.
Conclusion: The present study showed a significant and independent association between the PON-1 promoter -108C/T polymorphism and MI in the Tunisian male population.

Published: April 2016

Abstract
Objective: Determination of the factors associated with the intensive care unit (ICU) prognosis and mortality has important role in the clinical follow-up of the patients. Definition of novel biomarkers, beside older biomarkers available for evaluation of the outcome of these patients has been proposed. Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) is an enzyme that inactivates the platelet-activating factor. A reduction in the level of the PAF-AH has been demonstrated during systemic inflammation and multiple organ failure. This research aims to determine whether measurement of PAF-AH enzyme activity in ICUs can be used as a prognostic indicator like conventional biomarkers.
Methods: Eighty five adult patients have been included. Following data have been recorded: preliminary C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate, albumin and PAF-AH values, APACHE II scores and discharge forms from ICU. Patients were divided in two groups with respect to APACHE II values: Group 1 (1-19) and Group 2 (≥20).
Results: Observed mortality was 51.2%. In the APACHE II Group 2 patients, the values of CRP (p=0.001) and lactate (p=0.040) were significanty high, and the values of PAF-AH (p=0.008) and albumin (p=0.001) were significantly low. A statistically significant difference was found between PAF-AH values of exitus and alive patients (p=0.001). According to ROC analysis, the sensitivity and specificity of predicting mortality was 70.5% and 70.7% for CRP, 63.6% and 70.7% for lactate, 90.2% and 61.4% for albumin and 63.6% and 70% PAF-AH, respectively.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that, in predicting the ICU mortality risk, sensitivity of the PAF-AH is similar to the sensitivity of the lactate, and specificity of the PAF-AH is better than that of the albumin. According to our results, PAF-AH can be included in the novel biomarkers.
Pseudo-Classicisms in Late Biblical Hebrew
Authors: Joosten Jan 
Published: April 2016

AbstractSeveral words and expressions turn up in ancient Hebrew texts with two sets of meanings: one old, genuine, and more often than not paralleled in cognate languages, and one late and secondary, with echoes in the ancient versions and exegetical writings. To all appearances, these are words that were reused in a meaning based on scriptural exegesis after their original meaning was forgotten. Pseudo-classicisms show that scriptural interpretation had become an institution at the time of the late biblical books. They also show that interpretation led to re-appropriation, with later authors making a strong claim to continuity with earlier writings that had become authoritative. They provide strong evidence of diachronic evolution in ancient Hebrew. CBH and LBH are not the same language, nor even contiguous chronolects: they are separated by a period of time long enough to allow for the forgetting of many expressions, their reinterpretation in an unrelated way, and their revivification with the new meaning.
