Full textOsteoporosis is defined as a skeletal disorder characterised by low bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, with the overall focus on bone quality. It affects more than 75 million people worldwide, and cause people to become bedridden with life threatening secondary complications. An estimated 10 million South Africans, out of a population of 43 million people, are at high risk of developing osteoporosis. In South Africa osteoporosis affects one in three women over 50 and one in five men. Within one year after a hip fracture, up to 20% of the people die, 15-20% needs to be institutionalised and 50% of the remainder will not be able to lead an independent life. The number of fractures is two to three times higher in women than in men due to the hormonal changes that occur after menopause. The prevalence of osteoporosis increases markedly with age and, based on the bone mineral density at the femoral neck of the hip, approximately 30% of Caucasian women, by age of 75 years will be classified as having osteoporosis. Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) is the preferred method for measuring BMD. The results of the DEXA scan are scored in comparison with the BMD of young, healthy individuals, resulting in a measurement called a T-score. A T-score of –2.5 or lower is considered to be osteoporosis and T-scores between –0.1 and –2.5 are generally considered to show osteopenia. The aim of the study was to examine communication between referring physicians and patients who had been referred for a DEXA scan. A total of fifty patients were included in the study group. This was much smaller than was anticipated. The ideal would have been a much bigger sample group for a bigger representation of the population. Patients, who complied with the inclusion criteria and also gave their consent, were recruited between January 2004 and November 2004. Not all the patients referred for a DEXA scan had the required low BMD. Bone scans were performed on the HOLOGIC 4500 QDR, a multiple detector, fan beam, Dual Energy X-ray Densitometer. The Hologic 4500 QDR Bone Densitometer estimates the Bone Mineral Content (BMC) in grams, and the BMD in grams per cm2. The QDR 4500 uses a low level of X-rays with two different energies to estimate BMC and BMD. The radiation exposure at a distance of two metres from the equipment is less than one mR/hour. The age distribution of the study group ranged between 14 and 84 years (average age was 57,2 years). Out of the total of 50 patients, only one was male and the entire patient population was Caucasian. This may be due to the small sample size and inclusion/exclusion criteria. Concerning the references of the patient population, Universitas Academic Hospital (UAH) referred more than half of the patients (64%), while the other points of care referred only 36%. In this study, it was found that BMD results do influence the management of osteopenia/osteoporosis in the majority of patients and the test has a positive impact on the management of patients with this condition. There was however 22% of patients that did not receive feedback concerning the results of the DEXA and the necessary treatment. These findings also highlighted the fact that communication between physician and patient is a very important component in using the information provided by this test to its full potential. The ideal is to identify a low BMD early enough to stop the damaging consequences thereof, but this is not always feasible due to the high costs involved in a DEXA scan. Access to treatment and care is also not readily available to a large section of the population and, in State Hospitals; the availability of drugs to treat osteoporosis is limited due to the high costs.

Resumo: O risco de fratura osteoporótica pode ser avaliado clinicamente baseado em fatores clínicos e pela densidade mineral óssea (DMO), entretanto esses parâmetros não são bons preditores do risco de fratura. Recentemente, o Brasil foi incluído no instrumento fracture risk assessment tool- FRAX-BRASIL, porém seu uso tem sido limitado na prática clínica. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o grau de concordância entre o risco de fratura em 10 anos calculado pelo FRAX-BRASIL com e sem densitometria em mulheres brasileiras na pós-menopausa. MÉTODO: Realizou-se um estudo de corte transversal no período de novembro de 2014 a fevereiro de 2015, com 402 mulheres em acompanhamento no Ambulatório de Menopausa do Hospital da Mulher Prof. Dr. José Aristodemo Pinotti em Campinas-SP. Foram incluídas mulheres com 40 anos ou mais, em amenorreia há pelo menos 12 meses e com exame de densitometria óssea prévio a qualquer tratamento medicamentoso para osteopenia ou osteoporose. As mulheres foram entrevistadas por um pesquisador durante a consulta de rotina, na qual foram coletadas informações sobre fatores de risco necessários para o questionário FRAX-BRASIL e dados da densitometria óssea. Os dados obtidos foram inseridos na plataforma online FRAX-BRASIL, em que foi calculado o risco para uma fratura maior e de quadril, utilizando-se somente os fatores de risco clínicos e o risco incluindo valores de DMO do colo do fêmur em g/cm2. ANÁLISE ESTATÍSTICA: Para análise do grau de concordância entre os riscos de fraturas com e sem densitometria óssea foi utilizado o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (ICC). O Teste de Mann-whitney foi utilizado para comparação entre as médias do risco de fratura calculado com e sem DMO; para comparação entre as frequências de alto risco calculadas com e sem DMO foi utilizado o Teste de comparação entre duas proporções. Para análise da associação entre as variáveis clinico/demográficas e a variação do risco de fratura foi utilizada a análise de regressão linear. O nível de significância adotado foi <0,05. RESULTADOS: A probabilidade de fratura em 10 anos calculada pelo FRAX-BRASIL para fratura de quadril e para fratura maior somente pelos fatores de risco clínicos foi de 0,84% ±1,92 e 4,03% ±2,98 e com DMO foi de 0,83% ±1,76 e 4,05% ±2,98 respectivamente. O coeficiente de correlação intraclasse entre o FRAX-BRASIL com e sem DMO foi de 0,76 (IC95% 0,716-0,799) para uma fratura maior e de 0,644 (IC95% 0,583-0,698) para fratura de quadril. Ao avaliar as mulheres utilizando o FRAX com DMO 0,75% e 5,22% excederam os limiares de alto risco para fratura maior e de quadril, respectivamente. Sem o acréscimo da densidade óssea 1% e 11,44% apresentaram alto risco para fratura maior e de quadril, respectivamente. Dessa forma a recomendação de tratamento foi concordante entre o FRAX com e sem DMO em 99,75% dos casos de alto risco de fratura maior e de 93,78% para o quadril. Os fatores associados a menor variação FRAX com e sem foram maior idade, menor DMO, menor T-score e ausência de fratura previa tanto para fratura maior como para quadril. O menor IMC esteve associado a menor variação do FRAX apenas para fratura maior. CONCLUSÃO: O risco de fratura maior ou de quadril foi baixo na população estudada. O FRAX-BRASIL apresentou alta concordância para estimar o risco de fratura maior e concordância moderada para fratura de quadril apresentando uma estimativa de risco para fratura semelhante com ou sem DMO em nossa população
Abstract: The risk of osteoporotic fracture can be clinically evaluated based on clinical factors and by the bone mineral density (BMD), but these parameters are not good predictors of fracture risk. Recently, Brazil was included in the fracture risk assessment tool- FRAX-BRAZIL, but its use has been limited in clinical practice. GOAL: To evaluate the degree of correlation between the degree of correlation between the risk of fracture in 10 years calculated by FRAX-BRAZIL with and without densitometry in Brazilian postmenopausal women. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 402 women followed up at the Menopause Ambulatory at the Women's Hospital Prof. Dr. José Aristodemo Pinotti in Campinas-SP. Women were included with 40 years or more in amenorrhea for at least 12 months and with bone densitometry exam prior to any drug treatment for osteopenia or osteoporosis. A researcher interviewed the women during a routine visit, where information about risk factors necessary for the FRAX-BRAZIL questionnaire and data of bone densitometry were collected. The collected data were inserted on the online platform FRAX-BRAZIL where the risk for major fractures and of the hip using only clinical risk factors and the risk including femoral neck BMD values in g / cm2. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: To analyze the degree of correlation between the risk of fractures with and without bone densitometry was used the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the averages of fracture risk calculated with and without BMD; to compare the frequencies of high risk calculated with and without BMD was used the compare Test between two proportions. For analysis of the association between clinical / demographic variables and the change of the fracture risk was used linear regression analysis. The significance level was <0.05. RESULTS: The fracture probability calculated in 10 years by using the FRAX-BRAZIL for hip fracture and major fracture only by clinical risk factors was 0.84% ± 1.92 and 4.03 ± 2.98% and BMD was 0.83% ± 1.76 and 4.05 ± 2.98%, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficient between the FRAX-BRAZIL with and without BMD was 0.76 (IC95% 0.716-0.799) for a major fracture and 0.644 (IC95% 0.583-0.698) for hip fracture. When evaluating women using FRAX with BMD 0.75% and 5.22% exceeded the high-risk thresholds for major and hip fracture, respectively. Without the increase of the bone density 1% and 11.44% presented high risk for major fractures and of hip, respectively. Then the treatment recommendation was consistent between the FRAX with and without BMD in 99.75% of cases of high risk of major fracture and 93.78% for the hip. Factors associated with less variation FRAX with and without were older, lower BMD, lower T-score, and no previous fracture both for major fracture as to hip fracture. The BMI was associated with lower variation in the FRAX only to major fracture. CONCLUSION: The risk of major fracture or of the hip was low in the study population. The FRAX-BRAZIL presented a high correlation to estimate the risk of major fractures and moderate agreement for hip fracture presenting a risk estimate for similar fracture with or without BMD in our population. The FRAX-BRAZIL presented a high correlation to estimate the risk of major fractures and moderate correlation for hip fracture presenting a risk estimate for similar fracture with or without BMD in our population

Full textRecently, osteoporosis has been implicated as being associated with oral manifestations represented by bone loss, especially in the jaw. However, the techniques of direct assessment of mandibular bone mineral density has not demonstrated good accuracy and precision. This study aimed to evaluate, through a descriptive and analytical study, the possibility of the use of panoramic radiographs as a method to express the morphological changes of the jaw due to age and to establish a single index quantitatively and qualitatively, to identify cases of osteopenia and osteoporosis. The research period occurred in women in menopause and postmenopause in dental treatment in dental clinics of the Faculty of Dentistry, University of São Paulo, in São Paulo - SP. Confirmation of the diagnosis of osteoporosis was established by scanning densitometry reports obtained from the forearm, and compared the diagnoses obtained from panoramic radiographs for the establishment of a single index that considers both quantitative and qualitative resorption and lower cortical thickness in the assessment. The new Quantitative and Quantitative Panoramic Index (QQPI) was determined. The agreement between the two assessments, calculated as reasonable, reflects sensitivity (moderate) 56%, specificity (satisfactory) to 82% and NPV (Negative Predictive Value) of 68%. The QQPI showed significant association and agreement with densitometry (gold standard) can be used as a test for the screening, but some restrictions or care should be taken into use, because the intensity of reasonable agreement was due to a moderate sensitivity of this test in compared to the gold standard.

Full textThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mineral organic in the diet of foals, evaluating the bone mineral deposit of calcium and phosphorus, throughout biopsy and bone mineral density, measures of growing was also did measuring height withers and croup, thoracic circumference, knee, cannon and weight gain. Ten foals which approximated 10 and 13 months and almost 221 Kg weight each one were spread randomly into two treatments: diet with organic mineral and diet with inorganic mineral both with five repetitions for treatments. The diet were composed by 40% of roughage and 60% for concentrate, with was addition 3% of mixed mineral organic or inorganic. It was not detected any for consumption of diet, either for measures of growing and bone mineral concentration of calcium and phosphorus. Nevertheless, the average bone mineral concentration for organic treatment was better than mineral inorganic supplementation. However, the concentration in bone mineral was greater for organic treatment which was better for bone mineral density and weight. The bone deposition was better in 90 days of treatment. Therefore, the diet with organic mineral for foals probably better for bone mineral density and weight gain.

Full textSeveral therapeutic alternatives have been proposed for the healing of bone defects, associated to the surgery, like autogenous, allogeneous and aloplastic grafts, plasma rich in plaques and some drugs. Recently several works were published reporting correlation between the use of statins, drugs used to reduce the level of blood cholesterol, and bone neoformation. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the treatment with simvastatin, locally administered, in the healing of rat calvarial bone defects. There were used 48 rats, in which there were made two bone defects of 5 mm of diameter, one in each parietal bone. The animals were divided in three groups according to the material used in the defect: control, in which the defect was not treated; simvastatin, sponge of collagen soaked with simvastatin; and carrier, sponge of collagen and distilled water. The sacrifice took place after thirty or sixty days; the skulls were removed, subjected to radiographic examinations and to the routine histological preparation, then histometric analysis of the area of the bone defect was carried out, with support of a software for analysis of images. The data were subjected to the ANOVA and test t of Student. Both in the densiometric and in histometric analysis, it was verified the absence of statistical difference between the three groups, in each experimental period. At sixty days, the control animals presented more bone formation than in thirty days, which did not happen with those who received simvastatin or just the carrier. Clinically, it was verified formation of necrotic crust in the animals of the simvastatin group. One concluded, according to the methodology used, that the simvastatin administered locally harmed the repair of experimental defects in calvaria of rats.

O consumo excessivo de bebidas alcoólicas pode ocasionar problemas econômicos, sociais e psicológicos, além de ser prejudicial a muitos órgãos e tecidos, incluindo o tecido ósseo. O álcool é um fator de desequilíbrio entre a formação e a reabsorção óssea, entre osteoblastos e osteoclastos. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar os efeitos do consumo excessivo de álcool no tecido ósseo de ratos tratados com aguardente de cana de açúcar (cachaça), através da análise de fêmures e tíbias de ratos adultos-jovens. 24 ratos foram utilizados (Rattus norvegicus, albinus, Wistar), divididos em 4 grupos de 6 animais, separados aleatoriamente, sendo: – Grupo com 90 dias de tratamento, grupo controle (GC90) e grupo experimental (GE90); e grupo com 105 dias de tratamento, grupo controle (GC105) e grupo experimental (GE105). Após tratamento e eutanásia, os fêmures e tíbias foram submetidos as análises radiográficas, densitometria óssea e teste biomecânico, respectivamente, avaliados através do Sistema Digital Digora, DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) e Ensaio mecânico. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos ao teste homocedasticidade com significância de 5% e realizada análise de variância – ANOVA- two-way e pós-teste Tukey. Os animais dos grupos controles apresentaram maior espessura óssea total e cortical, maior densidade óssea e conteúdo mineral ósseo (p<0,05), assim como maior resistência a fraturas comparados com os grupos experimentais. Ainda, observou-se que além do padrão de consumo os efeitos do etilismo sobre o tecido ósseo são influenciados pelo tempo de exposição ao álcool. Conclui-se, assim, que o consumo excessivo de aguardente de cana de açúcar além de ocasionar danos ao tecido ósseo, exerce efeito dose dependente nos parâmetros estudados em ratos adultos-jovens.
The excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages can cause economic, problems social and psychological, in addition to being harmful to many organs and tissues, including the bone tissue. Alcohol is a factor of an imbalance between the formation and bone resorption, between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. This study aimed to analyze the effects of excessive alcohol consumption in bone tissue of rats treated with Sugarcane brandy (Sugarcane liquor, aqua vitae), through examinations of femurs and tibias. Twenty-four animals were used (Rattus norvegicus, albinus, Wistar) were divided in 4 groups of 6 animals, randomly divided into: - Group with 90 days of treatment, control group (GC90) and experimental group (GE90); and group with 105 days of treatment, control group (GC105) and experimental group (GE105). After treatment and euthanasia, the femurs and tibias radiographic analyzes were submitted, bone densitometry and biomechanical test, respectively, evaluated by Digora Digital System, DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) and mechanical testing. The data were submitted to the homoscedasticity test with 5% significance and performed analysis of variance - ANOVA- two-way and Tukey test. Control group animals showed higher total and cortical bone thickness, higher bone density and bone mineral content (p<0,05), as well as greater resistance to fractures comparad to the experimental groups. Furthermore, it was observed that in addition to the consumption pattern, the effects of alcohol on bone tissue are influenced by the time of exposure to alcohol. Concluded that the excessive consumption of Sugarcane brandy besides causing damage to the bone tissue exerts dose-dependent effect on the parameters studied in young adult rats.

Os animais foram acompanhados clinicamente e a incorporação dos enxertos foi analisada densitometricamente através do aparelho DEXA da Lunar. Os resultados mostraram que o enxerto heterógeno humano apresentou menor reabsorção seguido pelo homógeno, que estatisticamente comprovou existirem diferenças significativas tanto entre os suínos em relação ao tempo de sacrifício quanto entre os tratamentos autógeno, homógeno e heterógeno humano, podendo-se concluir que estes podem ser utilizados como alternativa viável na substituição do osso de origem autógena.
Extensive bony defects in the maxilofacial area can be corrected with autogenous graft, however the disadvantages of this therapeutic modality have been taking to the research for new materials to substitute those grafts. This study aimed to evaluate densitometrically the incorporation of the autogenous, homogenous and heterogenous human bone graft. Ten swines divided in 4 groups, with time of sacrifice of 7, 30, 60 and 90 days. The animals were accompanied clinically and the incorporation of the grafts was analyzed densitometrically through the apparel DEXA of the Lunar. The results showed that the heterogenous human graft presented smaller reabsorption proceeded by the homogenous graft, that statistically proved to exist significant differences so much among the swines in relation to the time of sacrifice as it enters the autogenous, homogenous and heterogenous human treatments, could be concluded that these can used as viable alternative in the substitution of the autogenous bone.

Full textRadiographic Optic Densitometry has proven itself to be a precise, reliable, and low-cost methodology that enables analysis of bone mineral content with the aid of radiographic images. A study was conducted in which the bone mineral density of cats sterilized in pre-pubescence was compared to that of non-sterilized cats. The experimental group was composed of 59 animals, which were then divided into male and female groups, as well as into sterilized and non-sterilized groups. The optic densities of these animals were measured by the image processing program software, ImageLab. The correlations between the values of BMD, weight and sex had been studied. The male cats had presented higher values of BMD and weight than female cats (P<0,001). When comparisons were made between spayed and non-spayed females and neutered and non-neutered males, the non-neutered male cats had presented higher value of BMD, independent of their weight value. As for the females, there were no significant differences in the values of BMD between spayed and non-spayed females. However, the neutered male cats presented similar values of BMD as spayed females. This illustrates that sterilization causes a reduction in bone mineral density. The correlation between weight and the BMD was more significant in the non-sterilized animal group than in the sterilized group, demonstrating that the interdependence between weight and BMD varies according to hormonal action. The average values of obtained BMD were 3,7±0,44mmAl for the whole female group, and more specifically, 3,69±0,56mmAl for spayed females and 3,72±0,25mmAl for the non-spayed females. As for the male group, the average BMD value for the whole group was 4,39±0,5mmAl. However, the average BMD value was 4,52±0,38mmAl for the non-castrated males and 3,92±0,4mmAl for the castrated males.

Full textA series of new strategies have been developed in order to optimize bone repair, because the methods currently available for human and veterinary orthopedics have no fully satisfactory results. Many researchers have dedicated to develop and study the compatibility of new implants in order to accelerate bone repair. The polymer of castor oil have drawn attention for its application as a bone substitute because it is a natural, biocompatible and have structural properties similar to bone tissue. Six horses were submited to ostectomy on the dorsal surface of its third metacarpal bone. One of the bone defects was filled with polymer of castor oil and the other remained unfilled, as a control group. The animals were followed for a period of 120 days after the procedure by monitoring radiographic bone density. After this period, a biopsy was performed for histological evaluation by light and scanning electron microscopy. The optical densitometry revealed medium values of 14.17mmAl ± 1.722 and 16.33mmAl ± 1.633 (p = 0.027) for the polymer and control groups, respectively. The light microscopy showed a higher percentage of new bone formation in the control group ( 50.15% ± 14.83 ) than in the polymer group ( 26.94 % ± 12.06 ) , with p 0.0001. However, scanning electron microscopy allowed to observe that the quality of bone formation tissue in the presence of biomaterial was maintained. Furthermore, there were no adverse reactions to biomaterial, such as scar formation or as a foreign body reaction, allowing to conclude that the polymer of castor oil can be considered suitable to fill bone defects in horses, since it demonstrated compatibility and osteoconductivity.

Resumo: Defeitos ósseos extensos na região maxilo-facial podem ser corrigidos com enxerto autógeno, no entanto, as desvantagens desta modalidade terapêutica têm levado a pesquisa por novos materiais para substituir esses enxertos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar densitometricamente a incorporação dos enxertos autógeno, homógeno e heterógeno humano, sendo utilizado para isso dez suínos divididos em 4 grupos, com tempo de sacrifício de 7, 30, 60 e 90 dias. Os animais foram acompanhados clinicamente e a incorporação dos enxertos foi analisada densitometricamente através do aparelho DEXA da Lunar. Os resultados mostraram que o enxerto heterógeno humano apresentou menor reabsorção seguido pelo homógeno, que estatisticamente comprovou existirem diferenças significativas tanto entre os suínos em relação ao tempo de sacrifício quanto entre os tratamentos autógeno, homógeno e heterógeno humano, podendo-se concluir que estes podem ser utilizados como alternativa viável na substituição do osso de origem autógena.
Abstract: Extensive bony defects in the maxilofacial area can be corrected with autogenous graft, however the disadvantages of this therapeutic modality have been taking to the research for new materials to substitute those grafts. This study aimed to evaluate densitometrically the incorporation of the autogenous, homogenous and heterogenous human bone graft. Ten swines divided in 4 groups, with time of sacrifice of 7, 30, 60 and 90 days. The animals were accompanied clinically and the incorporation of the grafts was analyzed densitometrically through the apparel DEXA of the Lunar. The results showed that the heterogenous human graft presented smaller reabsorption proceeded by the homogenous graft, that statistically proved to exist significant differences so much among the swines in relation to the time of sacrifice as it enters the autogenous, homogenous and heterogenous human treatments, could be concluded that these can used as viable alternative in the substitution of the autogenous bone.

A estrutura óssea do ser humano bem como o processo de consolidação óssea são alvos de estudos constantes em todo o mundo. Fraturas e lesões são consequências da fragilidade óssea, normalmente causadas pela osteoporose, um grave problema de saúde pública. Estudos mostram que essa fragilidade pode ser atenuada pela atividade física regular e treinamento de força. O objetivo dessa pesquisa foi avaliar a eficácia do exercício físico resistido frente a osteopenia induzida em ratos que permaneceram com ausência de carga em seus membros pélvicos. O modelo foi o de suspensão da cauda em ratos. Estes foram distribuídos em quatro grupos: C, controle, com período experimental em gaiola; S, suspenso por 21 dias e colocados em solo por mais 21 dias; E, submetido a exercício em escada durante 21 dias e, depois, mantido em solo por mais 21 dias e SE, suspenso por 21 dias e depois submetido a exercício em escada durante 21 dias. Foram realizadas análise de densitometria óssea e ensaio mecânico na tíbia dos animais para avaliar a qualidade do tecido ósseo após o período experimental. Pelos resultados, foi possível observar que o exercício físico com carga e intensidade adequada resulta em aumento da rigidez, força máxima, densidade mineral óssea e conteúdo mineral ósseo caracterizando uma recuperação da qualidade do osso proporcionada pelo exercício físico. Desta forma, conclui-se que o exercício físico com carga resistida e intensidade adequada resulta em remodelação óssea positiva frente a suspenção pela cauda, que por sua vez induz a fragilidade óssea semelhante a osteopenia, sendo eficaz no tratamento e prevenção dessa enfermidade.
The bone structure of the human being and the bone healing process are constant targets of studies worldwide. Fractures and injuries are consequences of bone frailty, usually caused by osteoporosis, a serious public health problem. Studies have shown that regular physical activity and strength training can mitigate this weakness. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the resistance exercise against osteopenia induced in rats that remained with no load on their hind limbs. The suspension model used was the rat’s tail model suspension. These rats were divided into four groups: C, control, with trial cage; S, suspended for 21 days and placed in soil for 21 days; E subjected to exercise ladder for 21 days and then kept in the soil for 21 days, and SE suspended for 21 days and then subjected to exercise ladder for 21 days. Bone densitometry analysis and mechanical testing in the tibia of the animals were realized to verify the quality of bone tissue after the trial period. It was possible to observe in the results that the exercise load and proper intensity results in increased rigidity, maximum strength, bone mineral density and bone mineral content featuring a recovery of bone quality provided by exercise. In this way, it was concluded that physical exercise with appropriate intensity and repeated load results in a positive bone remodeling before the suspension by the tail, which in turn induces a similar bone fragility osteoporosis, being effective in the treatment and prevention of this disease.

Resumo: A obesidade é um dos principais desafios para a saúde mundial e apresenta alta prevalência no homem e animais de companhia. Considerando a relevância dessa enfermidade, realizamos a presente pesquisa com o objetivo de avaliar o peso corporal, circunferência abdominal, índice de Lee, composição corporal, índice de Seedor, densidade mineral e resistência óssea de ratos Wistar tratados com dieta hipercalórica associada ou não à laranja vermelha, Citrus sinensis (L) Osbeck. O grupo que recebeu somente dieta hipercalórica apresentou menor massa magra em relação aos demais. Os animais tratados com fitoterápico associado à dieta hipercalórica apresentaram redução significativa na porcentagem de gordura em relação ao grupo tratado somente com dieta hipercalórica. Nos ensaios biomecânicos do úmero e fêmur não houve diferença na força máxima de ruptura, embora, no ensaio de compressão houve tendência de maior fragilidade óssea da cabeça do fêmur em ratos tratados somente com dieta hipercalórica. A associação de antocianinas, ácidos hidroxicinâmicos e vitamina C não interfere na densidade mineral óssea e na resistência biomecânica do úmero de ratos tratados com dieta padrão ou hipercalórica no período de cinco meses. Indivíduos resistentes à mudança de hábitos alimentares poderiam ser beneficiados pelo uso prolongado das antocianinas graças ao aumento da massa magra e redução da porcentagem de gordura após tratamento prolongado com laranja vermelha.
Abstract: Obesity is a major challenge to global health and is highly prevalent in humans and pets. Considering the importance of this disease, we carried out this research in order to evaluate body weight, waist circumference, Lee index, body composition, Seedor index, mineral density and bone strength of Wistar rats treated with high calorie diet with or without orange red, Citrus sinensis (L) Osbeck. We note that the animal that received only calorie diet showed less lean mass than the others. In addition, animals treated with herbal associated with calorie diet showed significant reduction in body fat percentage compared to the group treated only with high calorie diet. In biomechanical testing of the humerus and femur there was no difference in maximum breaking strength, although the compression test tended increased bone fragility of the femoral head in rats treated only with high calorie diet. The association anthocyanins, hydroxycinnamic acids and vitamin C does not interfere with bone mineral density and biomechanical strength of the humerus rats treated with standard hypercaloric diet during five months of treatment. Resistant individuals to changing eating habits could benefit by prolonged use of anthocyanins through increased lean mass and decreased body fat percentage after prolonged treatment with red orange.

O presente trabalho discute questões referentes à osteoporose e índice de massa corporal (IMC), considerados atualmente como importantes problemas de saúde pública do mundo, devido, sobretudo, ao processo de envelhecimento populacional e sua relação com a morbidade e a mortalidade. O tecido ósseo encontra-se em constante processo de remodelação. A homeostase do sistema está na dependência de uma remodelação óssea equilibrada, ou seja, da dinâmica balanceada entre a atividade dos osteoblastos e osteoclastos. Se este balanço inclinar-se a favor dos osteoclastos, levará à perda de massa óssea. Diferentes técnicas têm sido empregadas para o diagnóstico da osteoporose, sendo a densitometria óssea o melhor método disponível, devido à utilização de absorciometria de dupla energia de raios-X (DXA), permitindo medir partes centrais do esqueleto (coluna e fêmur). O objetivo desta pesquisa é estimar a prevalência da osteoporose na população adulta assistida na atenção básica de Niterói e sua associação com fatores de risco em uma análise estratificada por gênero. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo observacional, transversal, com 366 pessoas de ambos os sexos, com idade ≥ 45 anos, residentes no município de Niterói, Brasil. Foram consideradas as seguintes variáveis: sexo, idade, cor da pele, consumo de álcool, prática de atividade física, IMC, uso de tiazídicos e relação cálcio/creatinina urinária. Com base nos dados, percebe-se que a prevalência de perda de massa óssea, em qualquer grau, foi de 52,1%, sendo 44,1% apresentando osteopenia e 7,9% osteoporose. Quanto ao efeito da massa corporal, o aumento do IMC parece conferir proteção para a perda de massa óssea que ocorre com o envelhecimento, sendo maior nas faixas etárias menores, em ambos os sexos. Curiosamente a excreção urinária de cálcio parece ser um fator de risco para o aumento da perda de densidade mineral óssea (DMO).
This work discuss issues concern of osteoporosis and body mass index (BMI), considered as important topics of global public health, due, about everything, to the populational ageing and its relationship with morbidity and mortality. The bone tissue is constantly remodeling process. The system’s homeostasis is on balanced bone reshuffle balance dependence, meaning, depends on balanced dynamics between osteoblasts and osteoclasts activite. If this balance tended to osteoclasts, it’ll take to bone mass loss. Different techniques have been employed for the diagnosis of osteoporosis, and bone densitometry the best available method, for use dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), allowing measure central parts of the skeleton (spine and femur). The objective of this research is to estimate the prevalence of osteoporosis in assisted adult population in primary care Niterói and its association with risk factors in a stratified analysis by gender. For this, an observational and cross-sectional study with 366 people of both sexes aged less than or equal to 45 years, living in Niterói, Brazil. The following variables were considered: gender, age, skin color, alcohol consumption, physical activity, BMI, use of thiazides and calcium / urinary creatinine. Based on the data, it is clear that the prevalence of bone loss in any degree, was 52.1%, with 44.1% having osteopenia and osteoporosis 7.9%. As for the effect of body mass, increased BMI and waist circumference seems to confer protection to the loss of bone mass that occurs with aging, being higher in younger age groups, in both sexes. Interestingly, the urinary excretion of calcium appears to be a risk factor for the increased loss of bone mineral density (BMD).

Foram utilizados 47 coelhos, da raça Nova Zelândia Branco, com peso médio de 3,8 kg, divididos aleatoriamente em grupos de 8 animais. Os grupos Controle Machos (GCM) e Controle Fêmeas (GCF) foram submetidos à eutanásia aos 45 dias, os grupos Nandrolona Machos (GNM) e Nandrolona Fêmeas (GNF) tratados com aplicações semanais de DN na dose de 10mg/kg, via intramuscular (IM) durante 4 semanas. Os Grupos Placebo Machos (GPM) e Grupo Placebo Fêmeas (GPF), tratados com aplicações semanais de NaCl 0,9% (IM), durante o mesmo período. Foi realizado exame radiográfico após a cirurgia e aos 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 e 90 dias. Os animais dos grupos GNM, GNF, GPM e GPF foram submetidos à eutanásia aos 90 dias. Realizou-se exame de densitometria óssea do rádio dissecado após a eutanásia em todos os grupos, bem como análise histológica. Para as variáveis não-paramétricas utilizou-se o teste de Kruskal-Wallis. Para as variáveis paramétricas foi utilizado o teste Shapiro-Wilk, ambos a 5% de significância. Radiograficamente, os grupos tratados com DN apresentaram média de escore superior aos demais grupos na formação de calo ósseo. Na análise densitométrica, também foi observada uma melhora significativa ao parâmetro de composição mineral óssea (BMC) nos grupos GNM e GNF.

Full textDown Syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual impairment associated with systemic disorders such as premature aging and muscle skeletal changes that increase the risk of osteoporosis (OP). The OP is an skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and micro architectural deterioration of bone tissue, with increase of bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture, which is a global health problem, that increases the risk of mortality and medical costs. Risk factors for the development of OP are: female gender, white or asian race, family history, immobility, alcohol abuse, poor muscle mass, chronic corticosteroid use, lack of hormone replacement therapy, smoking, sedentary lifestyle and low calcium intake. Many of these factors can be found in individuals with DS, where recently the OP has been identified in young adults. Early diagnosis of OP prevents fractures and it is extremely important. It´s performed by the exam dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), which determines the bone density (BD). However, these tests are not available for the Brazilian population in general. Although X-ray exams are not precise for the diagnosis of OP, they can provide powerful tools to screen potential patients with OP, since they are well interpreted. The panoramic radiograph (PAN) is the most requested x-ray of the human body and is often performed as a complementary test in dental diagnosis. Thus dental surgeons can play an important role for the diagnosis of OP and prevention of fractures. The aim of this study was compare PAN with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to identify OP at DS. STUDY DESIGN: Patients with DS-CAPE/FOUSP, aged at least 25 years, who parents agreed and signed the Informed Consent (CEP-FOUSP 79/2009). The data from medical history was taken, it was performed PAN, and DXA of radius and ulna. The width and the shape of the mandibular cortical was evaluated at PAN using Radiocef Studio 2 software, and the results of PAN were compared with the result of DXA. CONCLUSIONS: The screening of OP in DS patients should be based on clinical evaluation and radiographic changes, since the changes of the bone structure of these patients are difficult to compare with values previously established.

Full textGiven the importance of zinc in the productive and reproductive performance of sows and piglets performance, three experiments to evaluate different sources of zinc in swine were conducted. The first experiment evaluated different sources of zinc, organic (zinc methionine (Zn-Met) and zinc glycine (Zn-Gly)) and inorganic (zinc oxide (ZnO)) in the diet of pregnant gilts and sows lactating and the effects of using these sources in their progeny. Were used 18 female of a commercial strain distributed in experimental design of randomized blocks with three treatments and six repetitions with one animal each. The characteristics evaluated in the sows were: weight, backfat thickness, prolificacy, number of piglets born alive and zinc levels in serum, colostrum and milk; In the piglets after birth until weaning were analyzed: serum levels of zinc, weight gain, bone density and histomorphology enteric. The second experiment 180 piglets were used, weaned at 21 days of age in a randomized block design in a factorial 3 x 3 (3 maternal diets - 100 ppm from ZnO , Zn-Met , Zn-Gly x 3 diets progeny - 100 ppm ZnO , Zn-Met - , Zn-Gly) totaling 9 treatments and 4 replicates of 5 animals each, which evaluated the performance, diarrhea incidence, serum zinc levels, bone density and histomorphology enteric. The third experiment 810 weaned pigs weaned at 21 days of age in a randomized block design with 6 treatments of 3 replicates of 45 animals each: Phases I and II - 1. diet + 2300 ppm of ZnO; 2. diet + 2200 ppm of ZnO + 100 ppm of Zn-Met; 3. diet + 2200 ppm ZnO + 100 ppm of Zn-Gly; 4. diet + 2400 ppm of ZnO; 5. diet + 2200 ppm of ZnO + 200 ppm of Zn- Met; 6. diet + 2200 ppm of ZnO + 200 ppm of Zn-Gly; Phase III - 1. diet + 1600 ppm of ZnO; 2. diet + 1500 ppm of ZnO + 100 ppm of Zn-Met; 3. diet + 1500 ppm of ZnO + 100 ppm of Zn-Gly; 4. diet + 1700 ppm of ZnO; 5. diet + 1500 ppm of ZnO + 200 ppm of Zn- Met; 6. diet + 2200 ppm of ZnO + 200 ppm of Zn-Gly in evaluating the performance of animals. All datas were analyzed using SAS (1998 ) program. The treatment means were compared by Tukey test at 5 % probability , according to Steel and Torrie (1980).
