RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This scoping review aimed (1) to map, analyse, interpret and synthesize data from in situ studies on which substances were added to acidic beverages to reduce the erosive potential on tooth enamel and (2) to establish the level of evidence of the effectiveness of adding substances to acidic beverages to reduce the erosive potential on tooth enamel. DESIGN: This is a scoping review, according to the methods from the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR, with high-sensitivity searches in the databases PubMed (MEDLINE), Virtual Health Library, Embase (Elsevier), Scopus (Elsevier), Web of Science and ScienceDirect (Elsevier). In situ studies published in English until December 2022 were included. Studies that did not report a control group were excluded. To map and summarize the results, tables and figures were used. RESULTS: From 895 potentially eligible articles, nine were included. Blackcurrant juices (n = 5) with the addition of calcium (n = 3) or xanthan gum (n = 2) formulations were the most tested in terms of reducing the erosive potential of the beverages on tooth enamel. The profilometer was the equipment of choice (n = 8) for evaluating the loss of enamel structure after the experimental tests. CONCLUSIONS: Calcium and xanthan gum are among the most tested by in situ studies, offering promising results in reducing the erosive potential of fruit juices and carbonated and energy drinks.

RESUMO

A obesidade é uma doença complexa que está associada inflamação crônica de baixo grau que contribui para o desenvolvimento de diversos distúrbios metabólicos como a resistência à insulina e estudos recentes sugerem a influência da microbiota intestinal no desenvolvimento e manutenção da doença. Diversos estudos apontam para o benefício da ingestão de frutas e vegetais na prevenção e tratamento de doenças crônicas. O suco de laranja contém diversos compostos bioativos com ações anti-inflamatórias, antioxidantes com efeitos na composição da microbiota intestinal. Deste modo, o objetivo principal deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da ingestão do suco de laranja Pera e Moro sobre a composição da microbiota intestinal e de parâmetros inflamatórios em voluntários com obesidade e resistência à insulina. Foi realizado um ensaio clínico crossover com suplementação de suco de laranja (400ml/dia) por 15 dias com um período de washout de 40 dias. As análises de sangue, fezes, urina, composição corporal, consumo alimentar foram realizadas antes e após cada intervenção. A comparação entre os tratamentos foi realizada utilizando equações de estimativas generalizadas e adotou-se um nível de significância de 5%. Em relação à microbiota intestinal, em ambos os tratamentos, os dois filos mais abundantes foram Firmicutes e Actinobateria. Dos gêneros analisados, observou-se maior abundância de Bifidobacterium após a suplementação com o suco de laranja Moro. O suco de laranja Pera promoveu uma diminuição da zonulina e o suco de laranja Moro contribuiu para redução de citocinas inflamatórias, diminuição da pressão arterial e aumento nos níveis de acetato nas fezes. Após a separação dos voluntários por grau de obesidade, observamos que o suco de laranja Moro contribuiu para o aumento na abundância de Akkermansia, Alistipes, Bacteroides e Catenibacterium em indivíduos com obesidade grau 3. Além disso, em ambos os sucos encontramos redução da razão Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes e aumento da excreção de metabólitos de flavonoides após os tratamentos. Diante destes resultados, conclui-se que o suco de laranja Pera apresentou ações positivas sobre a permeabilidade intestinal e o suco de laranja Moro promoveu efeitos mais expressivos na modulação da inflamação associada à obesidade e da microbiota intestinal


Obesity is a complex disease that is associated with low-grade chronic inflammation, and it contributes to the development of several metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, and recent studies suggest the influence of the intestinal microbiota in the development and maintenance of the disease. Several studies have suggested the benefit of fruits and vegetables consumption in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. The orange juice contains some bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions with effects in the composition of the gut microbiota. Thus, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Pera and Moro orange juice consumption on the composition of the gut microbiota and inflammatory parameters in volunteers with obesity and insulin resistance. A crossover clinical trial was carried out with orange juice supplementation (400ml/day) for 15 days with a washout period of 40 days. Blood, feces, urine, body composition, food consumption were analyzed before and after each intervention. Comparison between treatments was performed using generalized estimating equations and a significance level of 5% was adopted. In relation to gut microbiota, in both treatments, the two most abundant phyla were Firmicutes and Actinobateria. In the analysis of bacterial genera, a greater abundance of Bifidobacterium was observed after supplementation with Moro orange juice. The Pera orange juice reduced zonulin and Moro orange juice contributed to a reduction on inflammatory cytokines, a decrease in blood pressure and an increase in acetate levels in the stool. After separating the volunteers by degree of obesity, we observed that Moro orange juice contributed to the increase in the abundance of Akkermansia, Alistipes, Bacteroides and Catenibacterium in individuals with grade 3 obesity. Furthermore, in both juices we found a reduction in the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio and increased excretion of flavonoid metabolites after treatments. Therefore, we concluded that Pera orange juice had positive actions on intestinal permeability and Moro orange juice promoted more expressive effects on the modulation of inflammation associated with obesity and on the intestinal microbiota

RESUMO

Oral health problems may occur as a result of the ingestion of acid drinks. The objective of this in vitro study was to quantify and screen the concentration of potassium (K), phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), barium (Ba), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), aluminum (Al), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), sodium (Na), nickel (Ni), selenium (Se), and vanadium (V) released from bovine incisors during an erosive challenge at different times of exposure when immersed in Coca-Cola™, orange juice, and grape juice. A total of 240 samples of bovine incisor teeth were used for the erosive challenge and allocated in groups. Digestion of drinks was performed using microwave-assisted digestion. The content in acidic drinks was monitored before and after the erosive challenge at exposure times of 1, 5, and 60 min using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES). The drinks' pH varied slightly during the erosive challenge but remained below the critical value of pH 5 to cause tooth demineralization. The concentrations of elements released from the bovine incisors during the in vitro erosive challenge depend on exposure times when immersed in acidic beverages. For some elements such as Ca, Mn, Zn, Fe, Cu, Ba, Pb, As, and Cd, quantified in acidic drinks, grape juice had greater erosive potential than Coca-Cola™ and orange juice. Quantification and monitoring of chemical elements in bovine teeth can be performed considering a longer erosive time and other types of acidic drinks. Further analysis using human teeth is still not available and must be conducted. The demineralization of teeth not only occurs in acidic beverages; physical and chemical factors play other roles and should be investigated.

RESUMO

Maternal high fat diet (HFD) and obesity during pregnancy increase female offspring's mammary cancer risk in animal studies. We aimed to observe whether the consumption of grape juice during pregnancy can reverse this risk. During pregnancy and lactation, female Wistar rats were fed either a control or HFD and also received grape juice or tap water. At the age of 50 days, female offspring were euthanized, and mammary glands were collected to assess changes in biomarkers of increased mammary cancer risk. Maternal HFD increased the number of terminal end buds in offspring's mammary glands and promoted cell proliferation (ki67). Maternal grape consumption blocked these effects. Apoptosis marker caspase 7, but not caspase 3, was reduced in the HFD offspring. HFD offspring also exhibited a reduction in the indicators of cell cycle regulation (p27, p21) and an ability to maintain DNA integrity (reduced p53). Maternal grape juice did not have any effect on these endpoints in the HFD offspring but reduced caspase 7 and p53 levels in the control offspring, perhaps reflecting reduced cellular stress. Maternal HFD increased oxidative stress marker GPx1 mRNA expression, and grape juice increased the levels of GPx2 in both the control and HFD offspring. HFD increased XBP1/Xbp1s, Atf4 and Atf6 mRNA expression and reduced ATF6 and CHOP protein levels. Maternal grape juice reversed the increase in XBP1/Xbp1s, Atf4 and Atf6 in the HFD offspring. PPAR was downregulated in the HFD group, and grape juice reversed this effect. Grape juice also reduced the levels of HER2 and IRS, both in the control and HFD offspring. In conclusion, maternal grape juice supplementation reversed some of the biomarkers that are indicative of increased breast cancer risk in the HFD offspring.

RESUMO

Grapefruit juice (GFJ) and naringin when consumed previously or together with medications may alter their bioavailavility and consequently the clinical effect. Ifosfamide (IF) is an antitumoral agent prescribed against various types of cancer. Nevertheless, there is no information regarding its interaction with the ingestion of GFJ or naringin. The aims of the present report were validating a method for the quantitation of IF in the plasma of mouse, and determine if mice pretreated with GFJ or naringin may modify the IF pharmacokinetics. Our HPLC results to quantify IF showed adequate intra and inter-day precision (RSD < 15%) and accuracy (RE < 15%) indicating reliability. Also, the administration of GFJ or naringin increased Cmax of IF 22.9% and 17.8%, respectively, and decreased Tmax of IF 19.2 and 53.8%, respectively. The concentration of IF was higher when GFJ (71.35 ± 3.5 µg/mL) was administered with respect to that obtained in the combination naringin with IF (64.12 ± µg/mL); however, the time required to reach such concentration was significantly lower when naringin was administered (p < 0.5). We concluded that pre-administering GFJ and naringin to mice increased the Tmax and decreased the Cmax of IF.

RESUMO

A obesidade é um dos principais fatores etiológicos do desenvolvimento da resistência à insulina, e ambos são responsáveis, em parte, pelo aumento do estresse oxidativo e diabete mellitus tipo 2. Vários estudos têm mostrado os benefícios de uma dieta rica em vegetais e frutas, devido à ação dos compostos bioativos sobre os parâmetros clínicos e estresse oxidativo. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar os efeitos dos sucos de laranja, obtido das variedades Pera e Moro, sobre os marcadores bioquímicos e de estresse oxidativo, em indivíduos com resistência à insulina, classificados através do índice HOMA-IR. Os voluntários foram suplementados durante 15 dias com os sucos de laranja em um ensaio crossover, com washout de 40 dias. Nos dias 0 e 16 de cada ensaio, foram registrados parâmetros antropométricos e de consumo alimentar, e coletadas amostras de sangue e urina pra análises bioquímicas e de estresse oxidativo. A composição de flavonoides entre as variedades de suco foi similar, diferindo no conteúdo de ácido ascórbico e antocianinas do suco de laranja Moro. Não foram observadas mudanças nos parâmetros de estresse oxidativo após a administração dos sucos de laranja, com exceção do 8-OHdG urinário, um marcador de dano oxidativo ao DNA que apresentou-se reduzido após ambas as intervenções. Dados clínicos não foram significativamente modificados, entretanto, observou-se grande variabilidade interindividual nos valores de pressão arterial e lipídios séricos. A partir desta premissa, foi realizada a análise lipidômica do plasma com amostras do ensaio com o suco de laranja cv. Pera e observaram-se reduções significativas nos triglicérides, principalmente aqueles compostos de ácidos graxos saturados ou monoinsaturados, ou contendo ao menos uma cadeia de ácido linoleico, além do aumento de espécies de acilcarnitinas de cadeia longa. O consumo de ambos os sucos de laranja parece exercer um efeito protetor contra o dano oxidativo ao DNA, provavelmente por ação não-enzimática. A análise lipidômica do plasma sugere que o suco de laranja cv. Pera pode modular o metabolismo de lipídios, relacionados à lipogênese de novo e beta-oxidação


Obesity is one of the main etiological factors of insulin resistance development, and both are responsible, in part, for the increase on oxidative stress and Diabetes mellitus type 2 development. Several studies have showed the benefits of a diet rich in vegetables and fruits, due to the action of bioactive compounds on biochemical and oxidative stress parameters. The aim of this study was to study the effects of orange juices obtained by varieties Pera and Moro on oxidative stress and clinical biomarkers, in obese subjects with insulin resistance, classified through the HOMA-IR index. The volunteers consumed both orange juices for 15 days with in a crossover design, with 40-day washout period. On days 0 and 16 of each trial, anthropometric and food consumption parameters were registered, and blood and urine samples were collected to analyze biochemical parameters and oxidative stress biomarkers. The flavonoids content of both juices was similar, but only orange juice from Moro variety contained anthocyanins and higher ascorbic acid content. No changes in oxidative stress markers were found after juice administration, except for urinary 8-OHdG, an oxidative DNA damage marker, which was reduced after both interventions. Clinical data were not significantly modified, but a high interindividual difference was observed in blood pressure and serum lipids. From this point of view, plasma lipidomic analysis was performed with samples of clinical trial with orange juice cv. Pera and showed significant decrease in triglycerides, mainly those with saturated or monounsaturated fatty acids, or containing at least one linoleic acid (related with inflammatory processes), besides the increase of long chain acylcarnitines. The intake of both orange juices appears to have a protective effect against DNA damage, probably by non-enzymatic action. Plasma lipidomic analysis suggests that Pera orange juice can modulate lipid metabolism related to de novo lipogenesis and fatty acid beta-oxidation

RESUMO

As laranjas, das variedades Moro e Pera, são conhecidas por sua composição de flavonoides, em especial, a subclasse flavanona, além das antocianinas na laranja Moro. Ambas as subclasses apresentam capacidade antioxidante, anti-inflamatória e hipolipidêmica, podendo atenuar as alterações metabólicas decorrentes do consumo de uma dieta hiperlipídica e hiperglicídica. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da ingestão de sucos de laranja, das variedades Moro e Pera, sobre os parâmetros oxidativos de camundongos saudáveis e com resistência à insulina, esta última induzida por uma dieta hiperlipídica e hiperglicídica. Camundongos machos, da linhagem C57Bl/6, foram distribuídos em seis grupos, três grupos receberam uma dieta controle e três grupos uma dieta hiperlipídica e hiperglicídica, durante 12 semanas. Concomitante às dietas, dois grupos de cada tratamento receberam suco de laranja Pera e o outro suco de laranja Moro em substituição à água de beber. Na 10ª e 11ª semana, foram realizados o ipITT e o ipGTT. No final do tratamento, foram coletados o sangue, fígado e coração. As flavanonas majoritárias caracterizadas em ambos os sucos foram a narirutina e hesperitina. Além das flavanonas, a cianidina 3-glucosídeo foi a antocianina majoritária no suco de laranja Moro. O consumo de dieta hiperlipídica e hiperglicídica acarretou em ganho de peso e adiposidade corporal, além de alterações metabólicas, como intolerância à insulina e a glicose, com o desenvolvimento da resistência insulínica, de acordo com o índice de HOMA-IR. Contudo, o suco de laranja, da variedade Pera, foi capaz de atenuar os parâmetros metabólicos como a sensibilidade à insulina, além da adiposidade e peso corporal. No tecido hepático, foi observado redução da peroxidação lipídica e da expressão proteica da enzima catalase nos animais tratados com dieta hiperlipídica e hiperglicídica, quando comparado à dieta controle; e aumento na atividade de superóxido dismutase no tecido cardíaco. Não se observou diferenças significativas nas demais enzimas antioxidantes, bem como no dano oxidativo ao DNA avaliado pelo ensaio do cometa. No tecido cardíaco, foi observado aumento da peroxidação lipídica e de glutationa peroxidase nos animais tratados com dieta controle mais suco de laranja Pera e suco de laranja Moro, respectivamente. Assim, a dieta hiperlipídica e hiperglicídica não acarretou em estresse oxidativo e, de maneira geral, os sucos não alteraram este quadro. Como conclusão, o suco de laranja Pera, atenuou as alterações metabólicas relacionadas ao metabolismo de carboidratos, mas não alterou os parâmetros de estresse oxidativo


Oranges, Moro and Pera varieties, are known for their composition of flavonoids, especially the subclass flavanone, beyond the anthocyanins in the Moro variety. Both subclasses present antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hypolipidemic capacities, and may attenuate the metabolic alterations due to the consumption of a hyperlipidemic and hyperglycemic diet. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of orange juice intake, Moro and Pera varieties, on the oxidative parameters of insulin resistant mice induced by a high-fat and high carbohydrate diet. Mice (C57Bl/6 strain) were distributed in six groups: three groups received a control diet and three groups received a high-fat and high carbohydrate diet during 12 weeks. Concomitantly to the diets, two groups of each treatment received Pera and Moro orange juice in replacement of water. The ipITT and ipGTT were done at 11 e 12 week. At the ending of the treatment, blood, liver and heart were collected. The flavanones narirutine and hesperitin were the major flavanones in both juices. In addition, cyanidin 3-glycoside was the major anthocyanin in Moro orange juice. The consumption of high-fat and high carbohydrate diet resulted in weight gain and body adiposity, and metabolic alterations, such as decrease in insulin tolerance and development of insulin resistance, according to the HOMA-IR index. However, orange juice of the Pera variety was able to attenuate metabolic parameters increasing insulin sensitivity and decreasing adiposity and body weight. In hepatic tissue, decrease on lipid peroxidation and protein expression of the catalase were observed in animals treated with high-fat and high carbohydrate diet when compared to the control diet; and an increase activity of the superoxide dismutase in cardiac tissue. No significant differences were observed in the other antioxidant enzymes, as well as in the oxidative DNA damage assessed by the comet assay. In cardiac tissue, lipid peroxidation and glutathione peroxidase were increased in animals treated with control diet plus Pera and Moro orange juice, respectively. Thus, the high-fat and high carbohydrate diet did not promote oxidative stress and, in general, the juices did not alter oxidative parameters. In conclusion, Pera orange juice attenuate the metabolic alterations related to the metabolism of carbohydrates, but not alter oxidative stress parameters

RESUMO

As laranjas e seus derivados, principalmente os sucos, possuem compostos bioativos, tais como os flavonoides, entre eles as flavanonas hesperidina e narirutina, que podem estar relacionados à promoção e benefícios à saúde. A absorção e metabolização de flavonoides podem ser afetadas por diversos fatores como a microbiota e fatores antropométricos, o que pode afetar a sua bioatividade. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi comparar o metabolismo e excreção dos flavonoides entre indivíduos eutróficos e obesos após a ingestão de sucos de laranja pasteurizado obtidos das cvs. Pera e Moro. Em um estudo cross-over randomizado 20 voluntárias eutróficas e 10 voluntárias obesas, com idade entre 19 e 40 anos, consumiram em dose única 600 mL de cada suco, que contém as flavanonas narirutina e hesperidina, além das antocianinas no suco Moro. Os metabólitos de flavanonas e de antocianinas foram identificados e quantificados em urina coletada em diferentes períodos de tempo durante 24 horas. Não foi observada diferença significativa na permeabilidade intestinal entre os grupos. Foram detectados e identificados 8 metabólitos de fase II da hesperitina e naringenina, principalmente mono e diglicuronidados e sulfatos, além de três ácidos fenólicos catabólitos de flavanonas formados pela microbiota intestinal, entre elas o ácido hipúrico, ácido protocatecuico e ácido 3-(3-hidroxifenil)-3-hidroxipropiônico. Os ácidos fenólicos foram os metabólitos majoritários recuperados na urina, principalmente o ácido hipúrico. Ainda, os metabólitos de fase II apresentaram maior excreção entre o período de 4-8h e 8-12h (13 a 27% do total de metabólitos excretados). Não foi observada diferença significante (p<0,05) no total de metabólitos de naringenina e hesperitina excretados na urina durante o período de 24 h entre os dois grupos e para os sucos de laranja, nem para o total de metabólitos, provavelmente devido à grande variabilidade interindividual na excreção. Assim, não foi observada diferença entre a metabolização de flavanonas de laranja entre os eutróficos e obesos e nenhuma correlação com os parâmetros antropométricos avaliados


Oranges and orange juices contain bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, mainly the flavanones hesperidin and narirutin, which may be related to the promotion and health benefits. The absorption and metabolization of flavonoids can be affected by several factors such as the gut microbiota and anthropometric parameters, which may affect its bioactivity. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the metabolism and excretion of flavonoids among eutrophic and obese people after ingestion of two pasteurized orange juice obtained from cvs. Pera and Moro. In a randomized cross-over study 20 eutrophic volunteers and 10 obese volunteers, aged 19-40 years, consumed a single dose of 600 mL of each juice. The metabolites of flavanones and anthocyanins were identified and quantified in urine collected at different time points for 24 hours. No significant difference in intestinal permeability was observed between groups. Eight Phase II metabolites of hesperitin and naringenin, mainly mono and diglycerides and sulfates, and three phenolic catabolites of flavanones formed by the gut microbiota were detected and identified, among them hippuric acid, protocatecuic acid and 3- (3-hydroxyphenyl) ) -3-hydroxypropionic acid. Phenolic acids were the major metabolites recovered in urine, mainly hippuric acid. Furthermore, phase II metabolites had greater excretion between the period of 4-8h and 8-12h (13-27% of total metabolites excreted). No significant difference (p <0.05) was observed in the total of naringenin and hesperitin metabolites excreted in the urine during the 24 h period between the two groups, probably due to interindividual variability in excretion. Thus, no difference was observed on metabolism of flavanones between the eutrophic and obese and no correlation was observed with the anthropometric parameters evaluated

RESUMO

Abstract Objective: To assess the short-term effect of two in vitro erosive challenge protocols on the bond strength of metal orthodontic brackets on bovine enamel. Methods: Sixty bovine incisors were selected and randomly divided into six groups: AS7 (artificial saliva - 7 days, Control Group); CC7 (Coca-Cola™ - 7 days); LJ7 (lime juice - 7 days); AS30 (artificial saliva - 30 days, Control Group); CC30 (Coca-Cola™ - 30 days); LJ30 (lime juice - 30 days). Microhardness testing was performed prior to the erosive challenge to verify the standardization of samples. Immersion was performed 4x/day for five minutes, for either 7 or 30 days. After immersions were concluded, the brackets were bonded and shear bond strength was assessed after 48 hours. The Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) was also assessed. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey's post-hoc and Student's t test for paired samples, and the Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test (α = 5%). Results: The mean and standard deviation of microhardness testing of total samples were 281.89 ± 44.51 KHN. There was no statistically significant difference in shear bond strength for the time factor (7 or 30 days; F5.54= 0.105; p = 0.901). However, there was a statistically significant difference for the solution factor (F5.54= 6.671; p = 0.003). These differences occurred among solutions of Saliva x Coca-Cola™ (p = 0.003) and Coca-Cola™ x Lime Juice (p= 0.029). The assessment of the Adhesive Remnant Index showed no significant difference between groups. Conclusions: The immersion time used in the erosion protocols did not affect the bond strength of brackets to teeth. Coca-Cola™ induced significantly higher shear bond strength values than lime juice and artificial saliva. However, the short term effects of 7/30 days in this in vitro study may not be extrapolated for in vivo ones. Clinical studies should be conducted, substantiating the laboratory results.


Resumo Objetivo: avaliar o efeito de curto prazo de dois protocolos de desafio erosivo, in vitro, na resistência adesiva de braquetes ortodônticos metálicos em esmalte bovino. Métodos: Sessenta incisivos bovinos foram selecionados e divididos aleatoriamente em seis grupos: SA7 (saliva artificial - 7 dias, Grupo Controle); CC7 (Coca-Cola® - 7 dias); SL7 (suco de limão - 7 dias); SA30 (saliva artificial - 30 dias, Grupo Controle); CC30 (Coca-Cola® - 30 dias); SL30 (suco de limão - 30 dias). Foi realizado o teste de microdureza antes do desafio erosivo, para verificar a padronização das amostras. A imersão foi realizada quatro vezes ao dia, por cinco minutos, durante 7 ou 30 dias. Finalizadas as imersões, os braquetes foram colados e, após 48 horas, foi avaliada a resistência ao cisalhamento. O Índice de Adesivo Remanescente (IAR) também foi avaliado. Para análise dos dados, foram utilizados os testes ANOVA dois fatores, seguido do post-hoc de Tukey e teste t de Student para amostras pareadas, e o teste não-paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis (α?#8197;= 5%). Resultados: a média e o desvio-padrão do teste de microdureza das amostras totais foi igual a 281,89 ± 44,51 KHN. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na resistência ao cisalhamento para o fator tempo (7 ou 30 dias; F5,54= 0,105; p= 0,901). Contudo, houve diferença estatisticamente significativa para o fator solução (F5,54=6,671; p= 0,003). Essas diferenças ocorreram entre as soluções de Saliva x Coca-Cola® (p= 0,003) e Coca-Cola® x suco de limão (p= 0,029). Ao avaliar o Índice de Adesivo Remanescente, não foi possível verificar diferença significativa entre os grupos. Conclusões: o tempo de imersão utilizado nos protocolos de erosão não afetou a resistência de união dos braquetes aos dentes. A Coca-Cola® induziu valores de resistência ao cisalhamento significativamente mais altos do que o suco de limão e a saliva artificial. No entanto, os efeitos em curto prazo de 7 e 30 dias, nesse estudo in vitro, não podem ser extrapolados para os estudos in vivo. Estudos clínicos devem ser conduzidos, fundamentando os resultados laboratoriais.

RESUMO

The secular trend of hyperuricemia coincides with the substantial increase in the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. Our aim was to evaluate the association between the consumption of soft drinks, dietary fructose and unsweetened, non-processed fruit juices with hyperuricemia in a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data (2008⁻2010; n = 7173) of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). The explanatory variables were the consumption of soft drinks, fruit juice, and fructose using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. The outcomes were hyperuricemia and the uric acid concentration in serum. Regression models were tested, and a significance level of 5% was adopted. In men, the daily consumption of a portion of soft drink/day (250 mL) almost doubled the chance of hyperuricemia with a linear trend. In women, the consumption of ≥0.1 to <1.0 soft drink/day was associated with a higher chance of hyperuricemia, but there was no linear trend. High fructose consumption in men and moderate and high consumption in women were associated with hyperuricemia. All categories of soft drinks consumption were linearly associated with increased serum uric acid levels. Our findings suggest that the consumption of soft drinks and dietary fructose is positively associated with a higher chance of hyperuricemia and higher uric acid levels in Brazilian adults.

RESUMO

Este trabalho avaliou a interferência do estresse subletal em pH ácido na sobrevivência de Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG em suco misto de juçara e manga com pH ajustado para 3,0 e 3,5 e a resistência desta bactéria ao trato gastrointestinal simulado in vitro durante 28 dias de armazenamento a 6,0 ºC. O estresse ácido previamente aplicado nas células de L. rhamnosus GG não aumentou sua resistência ao trato gastrointestinal simulado in vitro e a bactéria apresentou viabilidade mínima de 3,89 Log UFC/mL após a passagem pela fase entérica II. Os tratamentos utilizados, bem como o tempo de armazenamento, não influenciaram (p>0,05) na viabilidade de L. rhamnosus GG. Portanto, o estresse ácido subletal aplicado não se mostrou eficaz no aumento da sobrevivência da bactéria até 28 dias de armazenamento, mas a mesma apresentou boa sobrevivência no suco em pH ácido, mesmo quando não submetida ao estresse prévio em pH 4,0 por 1 hora a 37°C.(AU)


This work evaluated the interference of sublethal stress at acidic pH in the survival of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG in mixed jussara and mango juice with pH adjusted to 3,0 and 3,5, and the resistance of this bacterium to the gastrointestinal tract simulated in vitro during 28 days of storage at 6.0 ºC. The acid stress previously applied to the cells of L. rhamnosus GG did not increase its resistance to the simulated gastrointestinal tract in vitro and the bacterium had a minimum viability of 3.89 Log CFU/mL after passage through the enteric phase II. The treatments used, as well as the storage time, did not influence (p>0.05) the viability of L. rhamnosus GG. Therefore, the sublethal acid stress applied was not effective in increasing the survival of the bacteria until 28 days of storage, but it presented good survival in the juice at acid pH, even when not submitted to previous stress at pH 4 per 1 hour at 37°C.(AU)

RESUMO

Las estatinas son fármacos habitualmente seguros y bien tolerados, muy eficaces para la prevención de trastornos cardiovasculares. La presencia de mialgias, poco frecuente, pero con incidencia dispar en diversos reportes, es una de las causas de abandono de su uso. También las distintas denominaciones (mialgia, miopatía, rabdomiólisis) y la subjetividad de cada paciente para referirlas han creado confusión en el tema. Se ha comenzado a reportar asociación entre niveles de vitamina D sérica disminuida y mayor riesgo de miopatía, por un lado, y trabajos donde pacientes que las abandonaban a causa de mialgias, con deficiencia de vitamina D, pueden tolerarlas una vez que se suplementa la vitamina hasta valores deseables. La presencia de polimorfismos en genes de enzimas que metabolizan o transportan a las estatinas es otro factor claramente relacionado con miopatía. Es posible que el déficit de vitamina D deba ser considerado un factor de riesgo para desarrollar miopatía por estatinas, como lo serían también la administración simultánea de fármacos que se metabolizan por la misma vía de citocromo P450, o la presencia de los polimorfismos mencionados. En conclusión, el hallazgo de tener deficiencia de vitamina D se asocia a miopatía por estatinas, o que es un factor de riego para desarrollarla, abre nuevas perspectivas para un gran número de pacientes que abandonan este tratamiento debido a esta patología. (AU)


Statins are usually safe and well tolerated drugs, very effective for preventing cardiovascular complications. The rare presence of myalgia, with different incidence as reported by several studies, is one of the causes of lack of drug compliance. Also the different symptoms referred (myalgia, myopathy, rhabdomyolysis) and the lack of objetivity of each patient when referring to the symptoms, have created confusion in this matter. Associations between decreased vitamin D levels and increased risk of myopathy has been reported. Indeed, studies describing patients with vitamin D deficiency who are not compliant due to myalgia show that they become tolerant to the drugs once the vitamin is supplemented to desirable values. The presence of gene polymorphisms for enzymes that metabolize or transport statins is another factor clearly related to myopathy. Therefore, we should consider vitamin D deficiency and other conditions such as the simultaneous administration of drugs that are metabolized by the same cytochrome P450 pathway, or the presence of mentioned polymorphisms as a risk factor for developing myopathy due to statins. In conclusion, the finding that vitamin D deficiency is associated with statin myopathy, or is a risk factor its develpoment, opens new perspectives for a large number of patients who leave this treatment due to this condition.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess the short-term effect of two in vitro erosive challenge protocols on the bond strength of metal orthodontic brackets on bovine enamel. METHODS: Sixty bovine incisors were selected and randomly divided into six groups: AS7 (artificial saliva - 7 days, Control Group); CC7 (Coca-Cola™ - 7 days); LJ7 (lime juice - 7 days); AS30 (artificial saliva - 30 days, Control Group); CC30 (Coca-Cola™ - 30 days); LJ30 (lime juice - 30 days). Microhardness testing was performed prior to the erosive challenge to verify the standardization of samples. Immersion was performed 4x/day for five minutes, for either 7 or 30 days. After immersions were concluded, the brackets were bonded and shear bond strength was assessed after 48 hours. The Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) was also assessed. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey's post-hoc and Student's t test for paired samples, and the Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test (α = 5%). RESULTS: The mean and standard deviation of microhardness testing of total samples were 281.89 ± 44.51 KHN. There was no statistically significant difference in shear bond strength for the time factor (7 or 30 days; F5.54= 0.105; p  = 0.901). However, there was a statistically significant difference for the solution factor (F5.54= 6.671; p  = 0.003). These differences occurred among solutions of Saliva x Coca-Cola™ (p  = 0.003) and Coca-Cola™ x Lime Juice (p = 0.029). The assessment of the Adhesive Remnant Index showed no significant difference between groups. CONCLUSIONS: The immersion time used in the erosion protocols did not affect the bond strength of brackets to teeth. Coca-Cola™ induced significantly higher shear bond strength values than lime juice and artificial saliva. However, the short term effects of 7/30 days in this in vitro study may not be extrapolated for in vivo ones. Clinical studies should be conducted, substantiating the laboratory results.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objective The enzymatic activity of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-2 (11β-HSD2) is key to protecting mineral corticoid receptors from cortisol and has been implicated in blood pressure regulation. Grapefruit juice (GFJ) and acidity are thought to inhibit this enzyme in vitro. This study examines the effect of GFJ and intense exercise on 11β-HSD2 enzyme activity in vivo. Subjects and methods Eighteen subjects ingested GFJ or apple juice (CON) on separate days prior to reporting to the laboratory in a randomized order. Saliva (Sal) samples were obtained at baseline, 15 and 45 minutes post-treadmill stress test; Sal cortisone (E) and cortisol (F) levels were determined, and the Sal cortisone:cortisol (E:F) ratio was used as an index of 11β-HSD2 enzyme activity at rest and after intense muscular work. Results GFJ treatment decreased baseline 11β-HSD2 enzyme activity (44%) and Sal-E (28%) compared to CON (both, p < 0.05). Sal-E (r = 0.61, p < 0.05) and Sal-F (r = 0.66, p < 0.05) were correlated with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in GFJ-treated individuals. Treadmill stress significantly increased Sal-E and Sal-F but did not alter 11β-HSD2 enzyme activity regardless of treatment. When treatments were examined separately, CON 11β-HSD2 enzyme activity decreased by 36% (p < 0.05) from baseline to 15 post-treadmill exercise. Conclusion Our findings suggest that GFJ and intense muscular work decrease 11β-HSD-2 activity independently, and no additive effect was noted. The association between DBP and the levels of Sal-F and Sal-E during the GFJ trial should be interpreted cautiously and warrants further investigation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The enzymatic activity of 11ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-2 (11ß-HSD2) is key to protecting mineral corticoid receptors from cortisol and has been implicated in blood pressure regulation. Grapefruit juice (GFJ) and acidity are thought to inhibit this enzyme in vitro. This study examines the effect of GFJ and intense exercise on 11ß-HSD2 enzyme activity in vivo. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Eighteen subjects ingested GFJ or apple juice (CON) on separate days prior to reporting to the laboratory in a randomized order. Saliva (Sal) samples were obtained at baseline, 15 and 45 minutes post-treadmill stress test; Sal cortisone (E) and cortisol (F) levels were determined, and the Sal cortisone:cortisol (E:F) ratio was used as an index of 11ß-HSD2 enzyme activity at rest and after intense muscular work. RESULTS: GFJ treatment decreased baseline 11ß-HSD2 enzyme activity (44%) and Sal-E (28%) compared to CON (both, p < 0.05). Sal-E (r = 0.61, p < 0.05) and Sal-F (r = 0.66, p < 0.05) were correlated with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in GFJ-treated individuals. Treadmill stress significantly increased Sal-E and Sal-F but did not alter 11ß-HSD2 enzyme activity regardless of treatment. When treatments were examined separately, CON 11ß-HSD2 enzyme activity decreased by 36% (p < 0.05) from baseline to 15 post-treadmill exercise. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that GFJ and intense muscular work decrease 11ß-HSD-2 activity independently, and no additive effect was noted. The association between DBP and the levels of Sal-F and Sal-E during the GFJ trial should be interpreted cautiously and warrants further investigation.

RESUMO

AIMS: To evaluate the chemical characteristics of grape and orange juices, and their erosive potential in the decrease of microhardness and the loss of enamel structure. METHODS: Five grape and orange juices were evaluated for pH, titratable acidity, calcium, phosphate, and fluoride concentration. De-ionised water and Cola soft drink were used as a negative and positive control, respectively. Twelve specimens of bovine enamel were immersed in beverages for 10 min at 37 °C, 3 times/day for 7 days. Erosive potential was quantified using microhardness and loss of enamel structure. Anova One Way, Student's t test, Multiple Regression and Spearman Correlation (p < 0.05) were used to analyse the results. RESULTS: Powdered grape juice showed the lowest pH (3.18 ± 0.03) and pure grape juice presented the highest titratable acidity (5.48 ± 0.06 mL NaOH/100 mL). Fresh orange juice and soya-based grape juice revealed the lowest calcium (0.77 ± 0.12 mmol/L) and phosphate concentrations (0.35 ± 0.06 mmol/L), respectively. Among juices, powdered orange juice caused the greatest decrease in surface microhardness (SMH) (127.99 ± 40.47 ΔSMH) and grape juice from concentrate caused the greatest loss of enamel structure (13.30 ± 3.56 µm). CONCLUSIONS: All of the evaluated juices contributed to dental erosion. Grape juices presented greater erosive potential than orange juices. Pure, powdered and concentrated grape juices showed similar loss of enamel structure to the Cola soft drink. The erosive potential of beverages was statistically correlated to pH, titratable acidity, calcium, phosphate and fluoride concentrations.

RESUMO

Research on the relative influence of package features on children's perception of food products is still necessary to aid policy design and development. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the relative influence of two front-of-pack (FOP) nutrition labelling schemes, the traffic light system and Chilean warning system, and label design on children's choice of two popular snack foods in Uruguay, wafer cookies and orange juice. A total of 442 children in grades 4 to 6 from 12 primary schools in Montevideo (Uruguay) participated in the study. They were asked to complete a choice-conjoint task with wafer cookies and orange juice labels, varying in label design and the inclusion of FOP nutrition information. Half of the children completed the task with labels featuring the traffic-light system (n = 217) and the other half with labels featuring the Chilean warning system (n = 225). Children's choices of wafer cookies and juice labels was significantly influenced by both label design and FOP nutritional labels. The relative impact of FOP nutritional labelling on children's choices was higher for the warning system compared to the traffic-light system. Results from the present work stress the need to regulate the design of packages and the inclusion of nutrient claims, and provide preliminary evidence of the potential of warnings to discourage children's choice of unhealthful products.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Lead exposure remains a significant environmental problem; lead is neurotoxic, especially in developing humans. In Mexico, lead in human blood is still a concern. Historically, much of the lead exposure is attributed to the use of handcrafted clay pottery for cooking, storing and serving food. However, experimental cause-and-effect demonstration is lacking. The present study explores this issue with a prospective experimental approach. METHODS: We used handcrafted clay containers to prepare and store lemonade, which was supplied as drinking water to pregnant rats throughout the gestational period. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: We found that clay pots, jars, and mugs leached on average 200 µg/l lead, and exposure to the lemonade resulted in 2.5 µg/dl of lead in the pregnant rats' blood. Neonates also showed increased lead content in the hippocampus and cerebellum. Caspase-3 activity was found to be statistically increased in the hippocampus in prenatally exposed neonates, suggesting increased apoptosis in that brain region. Glazed ceramics are still an important source of lead exposure in Mexico, and our results confirm that pregnancy is a vulnerable period for brain development.

RESUMO

Abstract: Introduction: the aim of this study was to determine the pre¬valence of dentine hypersensitivity (DH) and examine associated etiological factors related to the severity of DH in dental clinic patients treated at the School of Dentistry at Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Pasto, Colom¬bia. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed in which three hundred and thirty three patients aged 15 to 44 years old were assessed for the presence and severity of DH. The dentine hypersensitivity diagnosis was based on self-reported sensitivity and a clinical examination. The ques¬tionnaire included socio-demographic information, data about oral health habits and acidic dietary intake. A descriptive analysis was performed and the association between DH severity and risk factors was determined using an ordinal logistic regression model. Results: Dentine hypersensitivity was detected in 88 out of 333 (26.4 percent) subjects (95 percent CI: 21.83-31.56). The pH of natural juices (OR=6.013; 95 percent CI: 0.995-36.319, p=0.051) and pH of alcohol beverages (OR= 7.800; 95 percent CI: 2.282-26.658, p=0.001) were signi¬ficantly associated with the severity of dentine hypersensitivity. Conclusions: The results indicated that the prevalence of dentine hypersensitivity in these patients was consistent with previous reports. Furthermore, the severity of DH was influenced by acidic diet. These results suggest that dental coun¬seling should be provided to all patients as well as to those with dentine hypersensitivity to prevent the occurrence of this oral health problem and the severity of symptoms.


Resumen: Introducción: el objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la prevalencia de hipersensibilidad dentina (HD) y examinar los factores etiológicos asociados relacionados a la severidad de la HD en pacientes de la clínica de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Pasto, Colombia. Materiales y Métodos: Se diseñó un estudio transversal donde trescientos treinta y tres pacientes de edades entre 15-44 años de edad fueron evaluados para la presencia y severidad de HD. El diagnóstico de la hipersensibilidad dentinal fue basado en sensibilidad auto-reportada y un examen clínico. El cuestionario incluía información socio-demográfica, datos acerca de hábitos de salud oral e ingesta de dieta ácida. Un análisis descriptivo fue realizado y la asociación entre la severidad de la HD y los factores fue determinada usando un modelo de regresión logística ordinal. Resultados: La hipersensibilidad dentinal fue detectada en 88 de 333 (26,4 por ciento) sujetos (IC 95 por ciento: 21,83-31,56). El pH de los jugos naturales (OR=6,013; IC 95 por ciento: 0,995-36,319, p=0,051) y el pH de las bebidas alcohólicas (OR=7,800; IC 95 por ciento: 2,282- 26,658, p=0,001) fueron asociadas significativamente con la severidad de la hipersensibilidad dentinal. Conclusiones: Los resultados indican que la prevalencia de HD en estos pacientes fue concordante con previos reportes. Además, la severidad de la HD fue influenciada por la dieta acida. Estos resultados sugieren que el consejo odontológico debería ser provisto a todos los pacientes, al igual a aquellos con HD tanto para prevenir la ocurrencia de este problema de salud oral como la severidad de los síntomas.
