title: EROSIVE POTENTIAL OF SPORTS BEVERAGES ON HUMAN ENAMEL “IN VITRO”

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: The low pH of sports drinks may cause tooth enamel demineralization. Objective: To measure Vickers hardness of human enamel exposed to sports drinks. Methods: Human molars were used to collect the enamel samples. Each sample had a test surface (exposed to the drinks) and a control surface (unexposed). The samples were exposed to isotonic drinks Gatorade and Powerade, and to maltodextrin drinks Malto Advanced and Malto Active, for 10 minutes every 12 hours over 30 days. The Vickers microhardness test was conducted with three indentations on each surface. The mean of the indentations within each group was considered in the statistical analysis. Sports drinks variables were analyzed with ANOVA/Tukey (p≤0.01). The independent t-test was used in the comparison between the control and test surfaces of each drink (p ≤ 0.05). Results: Enamel exposure to Gatorade (p = 0.000) Malto Advanced (p = 0.000) and Malto Active (p = 0.000) was seen to significantly reduce microhardness, while the isotonic drink Powerade had no significant effect on enamel (p = 0.248). Conclusion: It was concluded that with the exception of the isotonic drink Powerade, all the sports drinks tested caused a reduction in the microhardness of human enamel. Evidence Level III; Therapeutic studies - Investigating the Results of Treatment.

title: Can heat-pressed feldspathic ceramic be submitted to multiple heat-pressing?

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to determine if multiple processing (heat-pressing) of a dental ceramic influences flexural strength, hardness, and microstructure. Ninety bar-shaped specimens (15 mm × 4 mm × 2 mm) of a pressed ceramic (Vita PM9) were fabricated and randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 15) according to the factors “number of pressings” (C1, C2, and C3, fired 1, 2, and 3 times, respectively) and “mechanical cycling” (M). Half of the specimens were mechanically cycled (106 cycles, 45 N, 3.4 Hz, in water) and all specimens were tested for 3-point bending (0.5 mm/min, load 1000 kgf) and Vickers hardness (19.6 N for 20 s). X-ray diffraction was used to characterize the phases and scanning electron microscopy to characterize the microstructure. The flexural strength data was statistically analyzed with Weibull analysis, ANOVA, and Tukey test. Hardness data was evaluated by 2-way ANOVA and Fisher test. All tests were performed with a significance level of 0.05. Two-way ANOVA revealed that neither “number of pressings” (p=0.085) or “mechanical cycling” (0.055) significantly affected flexural strength. But Weibull analysis showed significant difference for Weibull moduli and characteristic strength between groups. For hardness, a statistical difference was seen for the interaction “Number of pressings * Mechanical cycling”, (p = 0.016). Hardness decreased in the following order: C1 (775±17.2), CM3 (751±101), CM2 (735±45), C3 (701±82), CM1 (671±82), and C2 (663±92). Fewer defects were observed with an increased number of firings. Therefore, the possibility of recycling PM9 ceramic does not interfere in the evaluated mechanical properties and improves microstructure.

title: LOCALIZED FAT-FREE MASS DOES NOT INFLUENCE MUSCLE STRENGTH IN OBESE AND NON-OBESE BOYS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Obesity in adolescents has increased worldwide, and is generally associated with poor eating habits and physical inactivity. Objective: To compare absolute and relative muscle strength with body mass (BM), fat-free mass (FFM) and localized FFM of upper and lower limbs among obese and non-obese adolescents. Methods: BM, height and body mass index (BMI) were verified in 39 male adolescents (aged 13-17 years). Body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and maximal strength of upper and lower limbs was estimated by a one-repetition maximum (1RM) test. Participants were divided into three groups: eutrophic (normal weight) (n=11), overweight (n=14), and obese (n=14). One-way ANOVA was used to compare the variables, followed by a Bonferroni post-hoc test for multiple comparisons. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used for relevant correlations and multiple linear regression to verify the influence of anthropometric variables, body composition and muscle strength of upper and lower limbs. Results: Obese and overweight adolescents had absolute muscle strength values similar to those of the eutrophic adolescents, which were lower when corrected by BM (p&lt;0.001). However, muscle strength related to FFM and localized FFM were similar between groups in both upper and lower limbs. Linear regression showed that BMI explained 59% of the variation in absolute muscle strength of the lower limbs (β=0.59, p&lt;0.05), FFM explained 84% of the variation in absolute muscle strength of the upper limbs (β=0.84, p&lt;0.01) and 68% of the lower limbs (β=0.68; p&lt;0.01), while localized FM was inversely associated in the lower limbs (β=−0.53, p&lt;0.05). Conclusion: Muscle strength of lower and upper limbs, when corrected by localized FFM, does not distinguish between overweight and normal weight adolescents, indicating that obesity does not have a negative effect on generation of muscle strength in obese boys. Level of Evidence III; Case-control study.

title: Semantic Web materialization: a dynamic building model of queries based in ontology mapping

description: ABSTRACT Approach the computer language to human language is a challenge in seeking to improve the process of information retrieval. From this perspective, the Semantic Web has allowed a new mode of data processing contained in the Web, in order to allow better understanding of the meaning that these information possess. However, some of the concepts involving the Semantic Web such as ontologies, have highly complex, making it difficult to use. The difficulty in understanding, the structure that they have, and diversity as they are built, make the ontologies manipulation to discover the meaning of the concepts, something not effective, making it impossible to offer a concrete overview of the meaning of the concepts. Thus, this research aims to propose a model that can verify the context and meaning of a term in an ontology. To this end, it performed bibliographic research, model building and implementation of a prototype as proof of concept for the verification of results. The model and implementation have resulted in the generic treatment of an ontology, to obtain the meaning and the context that has a term. Based on the results it is identified that the use of ontologies allows information systems to provide a broader perspective of the context of data, enabling informational user needs can be met more effectively.

title: Commitment Between Roughness and Crystallite Size in the Vanadium Oxide Thin Film opto-electrochemical Properties

description: The V2O5 thin films has been widely studied because it has application as ionic host in electrochromic and lithium-ion batteries, two technologies that have an intimate connection with sustainability as substitutes for fossil energies and as agents for improving energy efficiency. In electrochromic technology, V2O5 is applied as a passive electrode due to its high transmittance and small contrast, and its reversibility on electrochemical reactions. To contribute to increase the optical and charge efficiency of V2O5 thin film passive electrodes, were investigated in this work the influence of the morphological properties, crystallite size and roughness, on the reversible specific charge capacity and the respective optical responses. The films morphological properties were modified by varying their thickness to the nanoscale. The films were deposited by thermal evaporation from powdered V2O5. The crystallite size and surface roughness were measured respectively by XRD and AFM. The results showed that the charge capacity is directly proportional to the surface roughness and inversely proportional to the crystallite size. The film optical contrast and the nominal transmittance shows to be improved according to their morphological properties. In conclusion, the V2O5 opto-electrochemical properties can be improved, increasing the efficiency on the light control processes.

title: Effect of photoperiod on ovarian maturation in Cheirodon interruptus (Teleostei: Characidae)

description: Abstract Cheirodon interruptus is a ubiquitous small characid that inhabits the Pampean region and commonly used as bait. Its vast market is supplied from the wild population causing a significant environmental impact. In this study, we assess the effect of photoperiod on ovarian maturation in order to evaluate its potential as a tool to manipulate reproduction under artificial conditions. Four treatments in triplicate (light: dark, L: D) were tested: 24L: 0D, 12L: 12D, 0L: 24D and a progressive photoperiod corresponding to the daily photoperiod increments in wild during winter-spring transition, accelerated three times. The experiment was conducted for 45 days. Gonadosomatic index (GSI), oocyte mean diameter, vitellogenic oocyte proportions, plasma estradiol concentrations (E2), condition factor (Kn) and standard length were estimated. Values of mean GSI, oocyte diameter, vitellogenic oocyte proportions and E2 concentration were maximum in the progressive treatment indicating vitellogenesis stimulation. In turn the same parameters were minimum in the 24L: 0D, revealing the vitellogenesis inhibition. This study showed that photoperiodic regime play an important role in the onset of ovarian maturation in C. interruptus.

title: Diet selenium improves the antioxidant defense system of juveniles Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus L.)

description: Abstract From the advancement of tilapia production in recent years, diets are sought that allow the maximum growth, improving health and fish quality. In this study growth, biochemical, hematological and oxidative parameters were evaluated of tilapia fed with increasing selenium levels: 0.53, 0.86, 1.04 and 1.22 mg kg-1. It was used 400 juveniles (initial weight = 36.51 ± 10.88 g), fed for six weeks. There was no effect of selenium on fish growth, biochemical and hematological parameters. In the oxidative parameters, there was an increase in non-protein thiols and a decrease in malondialdehyde levels, evidencing antioxidant effects of selenium. The diet selenium levels above 0.86 mg kg-1 improved the antioxidant system and does not affect to biochemical, hematological and growth parameters of tilapia juveniles.

title: Factors associated with the non-wear of mandibular dentures in the Brazilian public primary health care

description: Abstract This study investigated factors that affect the use of complete conventional mandibular dentures (CCMD) by patients of the Brazilian Public Health Service. For this, two hundred and thirty one subjects who received CCMD in the Primary Health Care of the Public Health Service in Belo Horizonte – Brazil were evaluated and divided in Group 1 – irregular/non-wear; Group 2 – regular wear. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to create predictive models for CCMD non-wear and included socio-demographic and biological variables, technical quality of CCMD, and user satisfaction. The prevalence of CCMD non-wear was 41.10%. The mean score of CCMD quality was 54.97 (0–100). Not wearing the CCMD was significantly associated with user satisfaction and technical quality (p &lt; 0.05). The lack of retention of the CCMD was the most important factor in the evaluation of satisfaction and quality. The final predictive model (specificity = 92.65%; AROC = 0.8759) for not wearing the CCMD retained the variables CCMD stability (OR = 0.888; 95%CI = 0.827–0.954), freeway space (OR = 0.916; 95%CI = 0.860–0.976), satisfaction with speech (OR = 0.694; 95%CI = 0.612–0.786), and irregular CCMD edges (OR = 3.185; 95%CI = 1.478–6.864). Socio-demographic and biological variables were not associated with patients not wearing the CCMD, whereas technical quality and user satisfaction were strongly associated.
