RESUMO

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to search for scientific evidence concerning the accuracy of computer-assisted analysis for diagnosing odontogenic cysts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA statements and considering eleven databases, including the grey literature. Protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD [Blinding]). The PECO strategy was used to define the eligibility criteria and only studies involving diagnostic accuracy were included. Their risk of bias was investigated using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tool. RESULTS: Out of 437 identified citations, five papers, published between 2006 and 2019, fulfilled the criteria and were included in this systematic review. A total of 5,264 images from 508 lesions, classified as radicular cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, lateral periodontal cyst, glandular odontogenic cyst, or dentigerous cyst, were analyzed. All selected articles scored low risk of bias. In three studies, the best performances were achieved when the two subtypes of odontogenic keratocysts (solitary or syndromic) were pooled together, the case-wise analysis showing a success rate of 100% for odontogenic keratocysts and radicular cysts, in one of them. In two studies, the dentigerous cyst was associated with the majority of misclassifications, and its omission from the dataset improved significantly the classification rates. CONCLUSIONS: The overall evaluation showed all studies presented high accuracy rates of computer-aided systems in classifying odontogenic cysts in digital images of histological tissue sections. However, due to the heterogeneity of the studies, a meta-analysis evaluating the outcomes of interest was not performed and a pragmatic recommendation about their use is not possible.

RESUMO

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance, carcass and parts yield, and blood changes in broilers fed different protein, carbohydrate, and lipid levels. Birds were fed a commercial diet until seven days of age. On day 8, birds were distributed according to a completely randomized experimental design in a 4 x 2 factorial arrangement (control diet, low protein diet, low carbohydrate diet or low lipid diet vs. supplementation of 0 or 0.3ppm organic selenium) with four replicates of 15 birds each. Broilers fed low protein presented lower body weight, feed intake, and worse feed conversion ratio on day 42, as well as lower carcass and breast yields, higher leg and abdominal fat yields, higher triglyceride and lower uric acid blood levels. Broilers fed the low carbohydrate diets presented low glucose levels on days 14 and 42.Creatine-kinase (CK) levels increased as birds aged. The livability of broilers fed the low protein diets improved and of those fed low carbohydrate diets worsened with dietary selenium addition on days 35 and 42. Selenium supplementation increased glucose levels in 42-d-old broilers. Changes in dietary protein caused more impact on broiler performance compared with carbohydrates and lipids. Changes in macronutrients caused metabolic changes in broilers. Selenium affected broiler livability as measured on days 35 and 42, and glucose blood levels.

RESUMO

O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar o efeito da injeção de ácido ascórbico em ovos férteis sobre parâmetros de incubação e sanguíneos. Oitocentos ovos férteis de matrizes de frango de corte (Cobb®) com 36 semanas de idade foram pesados e distribuídos homogeneamente em quatro incubadoras, com controle automático de temperatura, giro e umidade. Durante o período de incubação utilizou-se uma temperatura de 37,5ºC e 60% de umidade relativa até a transferência (19 dias de incubação) e 70% de umidade relativa nos dois últimos dias de incubação. O delineamento utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com cinco tratamentos aplicados antes da incubação: ovos não perfurados e, portanto não injetados; ovos injetados com 100 µl de água no albúmem, com as seguintes concentrações: 0, 2, 4 e 6% de ácido ascórbico. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas pelo programa SAS ®. Os dados mostraram que os tratamentos utilizados não prejudicaram o desenvolvimento in ovo sob condições termoneutras, exceto a eclosão, a qual foi influenciada por falta de habilidade na execução da técnica de injeção. Além disso, a injeção de 6% de ácido ascórbico aumentou o teor de hemoglobina, com melhora no potencial de transporte de gases no sangue destes pintainhos.

The present study evaluates the effect of ascorbic acid injection into fertile eggs on incubation and blood parameters. Eight hundred fertile eggs from broiler (Cobb®) breeders aged 36 weeks were weighed and homogeneously distributed in four incubators with automatic control of temperature, humidity and turning. The eggs were incubated at 37.5°C while relative humidity was kept at 60% until transfer (19 days incubation) and, then, increased to 70% on the last two days of incubation. The experimental design was completely randomized with five treatments, applied before incubation: eggs without holes and therefore not injected; eggs injected in the albumen with 100 µL of water plus 0, 2, 4 and 6% ascorbic acid. Statistical analysis was performed by SAS®. The data shows that the treatments did not compromise the development in ovo under thermoneutral conditions, except for the hatching, which was influenced by lack of skill in performing the injection technique. Furthermore, injection of 6% ascorbic acid increased hemoglobin content, improving the transport of gases in the blood of these chicks.

RESUMO

Avaliou-se o efeito da ingestão contínua de pectina em 720 frangos de corte sobre o desempenho e rendimento de carcaça e o consumo de água. O delineamento foi inteiramente ao acaso, em esquema de parcela subdividida, com níveis de pectina 0, 1, 3 e 5%, e idade primeira, segunda, terceira, quarta, quinta e sexta semanas, com seis repetições por tratamento. A viabilidade criatória não foi influenciada pela pectina na ração. O peso vivo, o consumo de ração e o ganho de peso diminuíram, e a conversão alimentar aumentou com a ingestão de pectina aos 35 e 42 dias. Não houve efeito da pectina sobre o consumo de ração (CR) e o consumo de água (CAg) na terceira semana. Na sexta semana, o CAg e a relação CAg:CR aumentaram com a ingestão de pectina. Aos 35e 42 dias, todos os parâmetros avaliados para rendimento de carcaça e corte diminuíram com o aumento da ingestão da fibra, sendo que apenas o rendimento de coxa+sobrecoxa não sofreu influência aos 42 dias. Os dados mostram que a ingestão contínua de até 1% de pectina na ração mantém o desempenho máximo das aves e que o consumo acima desse nível prejudica os parâmetros zootécnicos e aumenta o consumo de água na fase de maior crescimento.

The effect of the continuous intake of pectin was evaluated for 720 broilers regarding performance, carcass yield and water consumption. The design was completely randomized in a split plot design, with pectin levels of 0, 1, 3 and 5% and age 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th week, with six replicates. The viability was not influenced by dietary pectin. Body weight, feed intake and weight gain decreased and feed intake increased with pectin at 35 and 42 days. No effect of pectin on feed intake (FI) and water consumption (W) in the third week. On the sixth week regarding W and FI: W increased with the intake of pectin. At 35 and 42 days all parameters for carcass and cut decreased with increasing intake of fiber, and only the thigh + drumstick yield was not affected at 42 days. The data show that the continuous intake of up to 1% pectin in the diet maintains the best performance in birds and consumption above that level affects the performance parameters and increases the consumption of water in the higher growth phase.

RESUMO

Iron accumulation in the brain has been associated to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. We have previously demonstrated that iron overload in the neonatal period results in severe and persistent memory deficits in adult rats. Alterations in histone acetylation have been associated with memory deficits in models of neurological disorders. Here we examine histone acetylation in the brain and the effects of the histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) sodium butyrate (NaB) on memory in the neonatal iron overload model in rats. Rats received vehicle or 30.0-mg/kg Fe⁺² orally at postnatal days 12-14. When animals reached adulthood, they were given training in either novel object recognition or inhibitory avoidance. Histone acetylation in the dorsal hippocampus and the effects of NaB were examined in separate sets of rats. Iron overload led to a reduction in H3 lysine 9 acetylation in the hippocampus, without affecting the acetylation of other H3 and H4 lysine residues. A single systemic injection of NaB (1.2 g/kg) immediately after training ameliorated iron-induced memory impairments. The results suggest that a reduction in H3K9 acetylation might play a role in iron-induced memory impairment and support the view that HDACis can rescue memory dysfunction in models of brain disorders.
