Item Efeitos da fotobiomodulação associada ou não ao Biopolímero de Fibrina Heterólogo no processo de reparo tecidual de lesões cutâneas de ratos diabéticos(Universidade Brasil, 2021) Alexandria, Francisco Eugênio Deusdará de; Assis, Lívia; Tim, Carla RobertaINTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus is a general heterogeneous term that classifies metabolic disorders caused by increased glucose levels (hyperglycemia). Among the therapeutic modalities researched in order to accelerate tissue repair, LED photobiomodulation therapy and heterologous fibrin biopolymer stand out. PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of LED photobiomodulation therapy associated or not with heterologous fibrin biopolymer in the tissue repair process of skin lesions in diabetic rats. METHODOLOGY: Forty-eight adult female Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus), 60 days old, weighing 230±20 g, from the vivarium of the State University of Piauí, were used. The animals were randomly divided into 4 distinct groups (control group, heterologous fibrin biopolymer group, LED photobiomodulation therapy group, LED photobiomodulation therapy group associated with heterologous fibrin biopolymer), which were treated in two experimental periods (7 and 14 days). Diabetes was induced by the administration of an aqueous solution of 2% alloxan and the animals had their blood glucose assessed using a glucometer and clinical symptoms. The animals underwent two surgical procedures, in the dorsal and cervical regions, the first by means of a skin punch, an area of 2 cm²; and the second a linear lesion measuring 3 cm, in the cervical region. Healing analysis was performed by calculating the contraction of the wound area and evaluating the traction force. RESULTS: The treatments with LED photobiomodulation therapy and heterologous fibrin biopolymer, used alone or in combination, indicated the stimulation of the repair process. The heterologous fibrin biopolymer group showed similar results to the LED photobiomodulation therapy group in wound regression, but showed better healing resistance, suggesting that the LED group has both repair qualities. The LED photobiomodulation therapy group associated with heterologous fibrin biopolymer showed better results in resistance and regression when compared to the heterologous fibrin biopolymer and LED photobiomodulation therapy groups, statistically closer to the control group. CONCLUSION: Based on the findings, it was observed that treatments with LED, BFH or LED associated with BFH acted satisfactorily, favoring the improvement in the tissue repair process, suggesting that these treatments, isolated or associated, were effective in stimulating the healing process in diabetic rats.Item Efeitos do agulhamento seco no tratamento da dor de pacientes com disfunções temporomandibulares(Universidade Brasil, 2021) Castro, Tânia Ecí Santi; Assis, Lívia; Tim, Carla RobertaTemporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a disorder of the masticatory system originating from the masticatory muscles and/or the temporomandibular joint and associated structures. This dysfunction is responsible for the discomfort of millions of people around the world, decreasing their quality of life and restricting social interaction. In this perspective, this study aimed to identify the potential of dry needling in the treatment of TMD through a systematic literature review and evaluation of the use of deep dry needling for the treatment of TMD. For this, articles were searched in the PubMed and Virtual Health Library (LILACS, MEDLINE and SciELO) databases with the descriptors in English "temporomandibular disorder dry needling", or "temporomandibular disorder myofascial dry needling", or "temporomandibular disorder dry needling. Using a combination of descriptors as the search strategy. Nine studies were considered. One study compared superficial and deep dry needling. Five studies used only deep dry needling, another three studies did not specify the type of needling used, and only one article compared deep with superficial dry needling. of cases with three patients with chronic TMD diagnosed through clinical examination based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC / TMD) and undergoing 4 seasons needling dry, once a week. Deep dry needling was used in the g-points tile in the masseter muscles and through temporal needles 0.20 x 13 mm. After 4 weeks of treatment, it was observed that pain intensity and hospital anxiety and depression scale scores decreased and increased mouth opening. Based on the results, it can be suggested that dry needling promoted a remission of painful symptoms and an improvement in mandibular range of motion after four weeks of treatment.
