(NRC Research Press (Canadian Science Publishing), 2017-07) Araújo, Dayane Pessoa de; Camboim, Thaisa Gracielle Martins; Silva, Ana Patrícia Magalhães; Silva, Caio da Fonseca; Sousa, Rebeca Canuto de; Barbosa, Mabson Delâno Alves; Oliveira, Lucidio Clebeson; Cavalcanti, José Rodolfo Lopes de Paiva; Lucena, Eudes Euler de Souza; Guzen, Fausto Pierdoná
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is characterized by involuntary movements of the lower portion of the face being related to typical antipsychotic therapy. TD is associated with the oxidative imbalance in the basal ganglia. Lipoic acid (LA) and omega-3 (-3) are antioxidants acting as enzyme cofactors, regenerating antioxidant enzymes. This study aimed to investigate behavioral and neurochemical effects of supplementation with LA (100 mg/kg) and -3 (1 g/kg) in the treatment of TD induced by chronic use of haloperidol (HAL) (1 mg/kg) in rats. Wistar male rats were used, weighing between 180–200 g. The animals were treated chronically (31 days) with LA alone or associated with HAL or -3. Motor behavior was assessed by open-field test, the catalepsy test, and evaluation of orofacial dyskinesia. Oxidative stress was accessed by determination of lipid peroxidation and concentration of nitrite. LA and -3 alone or associated caused an improvement in motor performance by increasing locomotor activity in the open-field test and decreased the permanence time on the bar in the catalepsy test and decreased the orofacial dyskinesia. LA and -3 showed antioxidant effects, decreasing lipid peroxidation and nitrite levels. Thus, the use of LA associated with -3 reduced the extrapyramidal effects produced by chronic use of HAL
Effect of FGF-2 and sciatic nerve grafting on ChAT expression in dorsal root ganglia neurons of spinal cord transected rats

Neurotrophic factors and peripheral nerves are known to be good substrates for bridging CNS trauma. The involvement of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) activation in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) was examined following spinal cord injury in the rat. We evaluated whether FGF-2 increases the ability of a sciatic nerve graft to enhance neuronal plasticity, in a gap promoted by complete transection of the spinal cord. The rats were subjected to a 4 mm-long gap at low thoracic level and were repaired with saline (Saline or control group, n = 10), or fragment of the sciatic nerve (Nerve group, n = 10), or fragment of the sciatic nerve to which FGF-2 (Nerve + FGF-2 group, n = 10) had been added immediately after lesion. The effects of the FGF-2 and fragment of the sciatic nerve grafts on neuronal plasticity were investigated using choline acetyl transferase (ChAT)-immunoreactivity of neurons in the dorsal root ganglion after 8 weeks. Preservation of the area and diameter of neuronal cell bodies in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) was seen in animals treated with the sciatic nerve, an effect enhanced by the addition of FGF-2. Thus, the addition of exogenous FGF-2 to a sciatic nerve fragment grafted in a gap of the rat spinal cord submitted to complete transection was able to improve neuroprotection in the DRG. The results emphasized that the manipulation of the microenvironment in the wound might amplify the regenerative capacity of peripheral neurons
Expansion and phenotypic changes of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal cells cultured with FGF-2 and facial nerve-conditioned medium
(Sociedade Chilena de Anatomía, 2018-09) Lucena, Eudes Euler de Souza; Morais, Hécio Henrique Araújo de; Araújo, Dayane Pessoa de; Cavalcanti, José Rodolfo Lopes de Paiva; Azevedo, Eduardo Pereira de; Queiroz, Dinalva Brito de; Botelho, Marco Antônio; Rêgo, Amália Cinthia Meneses do; Araújo Filho, Irami; Barboza, Carlos Augusto Galvão; Nascimento Júnior, Expedito Silva do; Costa, Miriam Stela Maris de Oliveira; Cavalcante, Jeferson de Sousa; Guzen, Fausto Pierdoná
Mesenchymal cells (MCs) exhibit great regenerative potential due to their intrinsic properties and ability to restore tissue function, either directly through transdifferentiation or indirectly through paracrine effects. This study aimed to evaluate morphometric and phenotypic changes in MCs grown with facial nerve-conditioned medium in the presence or absence of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2). For quantitative phenotypic analysis, the expression of GFAP, OX-42, MAP-2, β-tubulin III, NeuN, and NF-200 was analyzed by immunocytochemistry. Cells cultured with facial nerve-conditioned medium in the presence of FGF-2 expressed GFAP, OX-42, MAP-2, β-tubulin III, NeuN, and NF-200. On average, the area and perimeter of GFAP-positive cells were higher in the group cultured with facial nerve-conditioned medium compared to the group cultured with conditioned medium and FGF-2 (p=0.0001). This study demonstrated the plasticity of MCs for neuronal and glial lineages and opens up new research perspectives in cell therapy and trans.differentiation
State of the art in the treatment of mandibular fractures caused by firearms: case report
(Faculdade São Leopoldo Mandic, 2018-01) Souza Júnior, Erasmo Freitas de; Morais, Hécio Henrique Araújo de; Lucena, Eudes Euler de Souza; Cavalcanti, José Rodolfo Lopes de Paiva; Guzen, Fausto Pierdoná; Araújo, Dayane Pessoa de; Barbalho, Jimmy Charles Melo
Injuries to the face represent a significant risk to the health of the individual, mainly because of its significance, both functional, because it houses sensory organs and part of the respiratory and digestive systems, as well as esthetic. In this scenario, gunshot wounds in this location cause great concern on account of the magnitude of the damage, and the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology team must act so that the treatment enables the rehabilitation of the patient in the shortest possible time, with a minimum of complications and sequelae. The objective of this study is to report a clinical case of a 19-year-old female patient with a comminuted fracture of the mandible body caused by a firearm projectile, treated immediately with stable internal fixation using the 2.00 mm plate-screw system for simplification of the fracture and a 2.4 mm reconstruction locking-plate on the bone gap. Relevant aspects of the surgical technique and tactics are reviewed and long-term follow-up of the patient is presented
