The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is to repair the damaged periodontal supporting tissues, permitting regeneration of the periodontal ligament. However, the cell response, the supportive matrix and the bioactive molecules use have not yet been well established. Bone marrow mononuclear cells were extracted from rat femurs and tibiae and cultured on a cross-linked collagen membrane, bone graft, or molar tooth to compare cell attachment and early proliferation on these materials. Cell attachment was quantified by light microscopy at 24, 48 and 72h, and cell proliferation was observed under a SEM after 72h. After 24h, the number of cells on bone graft was similar to that of the control and more than twice compared to collagen membrane (q=7.473... |

Nicotine is the more abundant component in cigarette smoke. Because nicotine is first metabolized in the liver, our aim was to investígate the effects of nicotine on this organ by biochemical and stereological methods. Male Wistar rats were treated with oral nicotine (ON) diluted in drinking water during 32 days. The control group was treated with drinking water in the same period. Rats were sacrificed 24 hours after last day, the blood was collected and the liver was removed. Lipidogram was performed by enzymatic method and collagen fibers, fat globules and hepatocytes were count in the liver by stereological methods. We observed in control group preserved hepatocytes, with no presence of inflammatory cells. However in the ON group was possible to observe... |
