Avaliação da densitometria óssea em fêmur de rato após consumo de álcool e fluoreto de sódio /

Marques, Thiago Macedo. January 2008 (has links)
Orientador: Leda Maria Pescinini Salzedas / Banca: Ana Maria Pires Soubhia / Banca: Ana Lucia Alvares Capelozza / Resumo: O consumo abusivo de álcool interfere no metabolismo ósseo podendo causar a osteoporose, e o fluoreto de sódio tem sido usado para reduzir o risco de fratura na osteoporose. Não há relatos do efeito sinérgico dessas substâncias no tecido ósseo. A densitometria óssea é um método preciso para avaliação do conteúdo mineral ósseo. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar a análise densitométrica óssea em fêmur de rato submetidos ao consumo de fluoreto e ao consumo crônico de álcool com e sem consumo prévio de fluoreto. Os 105 ratos foram divididos em 5 grupos conforme a dieta líquida: água (Controle C) e fluoreto (Grupo F) "ad libitum" por um período de 90 dias; água (Grupo CA) e fluoreto (Grupo FA) por 30 dias antes do consumo de aguardente de cana (40o GL) em concentrações crescentes de 30% e 60% durante 20 dias, e pura por 40 dias até eutanásia do animal; água por 60 dias e a seguir fluoreto por 30 dias (Grupo CF). Os animais foram sacrificados após 3, 10 e 28 dias de completada a dieta, os fêmures esquerdos foram dissecados e submetidos à análise densitométrica no sistema DXA. Os valores obtidos de conteúdo de massa óssea (CMO) e densidade mineral óssea (DMO) foram submetidos à análise de variância e teste de Tukey para comparação entre os grupos, sendo verificada diferença estatística entre os grupos no CMO e DMO. A ordem decrescente de DMO foi: F, CF, C, FA, CA, sendo observada diferença estatística entre os grupos F e CA. O grupo F apresentou os maiores valores de CMO e DMO, e os grupos FA e CA apresentaram menores médias de CMO e DMO comparados aos C, F e CF. Podemos concluir que o uso de NaF de maneira prolongada aumenta a densidade óssea e que o uso crônico de álcool diminui os valores de CMO e DMO, mesmo com o uso prévio de NaF, sendo encontrado valores intermediários após consumo das duas substâncias. / Abstract: The abusive alcohol consumption intervenes with the bone metabolism being able to cause osteoporosis and the sodium fluorid has been used to reduce the risk of breaking in osteoporosis. There are not reports of the synergistic effect of such substances on bone tissue. The aim of this study was to analysis bone density in the rat femur submitted to the use of fluoride and the chronic consumption of alcohol with and without pre-fluoride. The 105 rats had been divided in 5 groups in agreement the liquid diet: water (Control C) and fluorid (Fluorid F) "ad libitum" for a period of 90 days; water (water and alcohol CA) and fluorid (fluorine and alcohol FA) per 30 days before the consumption of sugar cane brandy (40°GL) in increasing concentrations of 30% and 60% during 20 days, and pure for 40 days until euthanasia of the animal; water per 60 days and to follow fluorid per 30 days (fluorid 30 days CF). The animals were sacrificed after 3, 10 and 28 days of completion of the diet, the left femurs were dissected and submitted for analysis in the DXA standard system. The values obtained of bone mass content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) were submitted to the analysis of variance and test Tukey for comparison between groups, and found statistical difference between the groups in the BMC and BMD. The order of decreasing BMD was: F, CF, C, FA, CA, and observed statistical difference between the groups F and CA. The group F presented the highest values of BMC and BMD, and the FA and CA groups had lower average BMC and BMD compared to C, F and CF. We can conclude that the use of NaF on a prolonged increases bone density and that the chronic use of alcohol lowers the values of BMC and BMD, even with the previous use of NaF, and intermediate values found after consumption of the both substances. / Mestre

Quantificação da resoluçao do sistema SPECT-CZT através do uso da função de transferência modulada (MTF) /

Zandona, Ednaldo Alexandre. January 2013 (has links)
Orientador: José Ricardo de Arruda Miranda / Banca: José Roberto Saglieti / Banca: Eder Rezende Moraes / Resumo: A medicina nuclear é uma especialidade médica que se ocupa de técnicas de imagem para observar o estado fisiológico dos tecidos ou órgãos de forma não invasiva, através da marcação de moléculas participantes desses processos, com isótopos radioativos, originando assim os chamados radionuclídeos. O SPECT é um equipamento que se utiliza de imagens planares, obtidas de vários ângulos ao redor do objeto de interesse, e, através de algoritmos computacionais, obtêm uma imagem tomográfica dessas projeções. Sua origem remete há aproximadamente cinquenta anos atrás, com criação da Câmara Anger (Hall Anger, 1964). Durante todo esse tempo, embora tenha havido alguma evolução, a estrutura dessas gama câmaras praticamente ficou Inalterada. Os constantes avanços em pesquisas empregando cristais semicondutores nos exames cintilográficos, bem como a necessidade do surgimento de novos sistemas detectores, compactos, com maior poder de resolução e alta sensibilidade conjugados a crescente preocupação mundial com a minimização das doses de radiação ionizante utilizadas nos exames diagnósticos e terapias, impulsionou o desenvolvimento de novos sistemas detectores. Recentemente, duas Grandes Empresas lançaram comercialmente novos sistemas de detecção para aquisições tomográficas em medicina nuclear, utilizando detectores do estado sólido, mais especificamente cristais de telureto de cádmio e zinco (CZT). Algumas vantagens desse tipo de detector são a melhora sensível da relação sinal/ruído, o aumento da resolução espectral e espacial, o que em suma, resultam numa maior nitidez das imagens obtidas. O emprego desses detectores abre novas perspectivas para os protocolos de imagem. Entretanto, devido a inúmeros fatores, os equipamentos ditos CZT estão focados na área cardiológica, e devido a características próprias requerem a reformulação dos protocolos de aquisição de imagem além daqueles destinados ao ... / Abstract: Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that deals with imaging techniques to observe the physiological status of the tissues or organs noninvasively, by dialing molecules participating in this process, with radioactive isotopes, thus giving the so-called radionuclides. The SPECT is a device that uses planar images, taken from different angles around the object of interest, and, through computer algorithms, obtains a tomographic image of those projections. Its origin refers for nearly fifty years ago, with the creation of the Chamber Anger (Anger Hall, 1964). Throughout this time, although there has been some evolution, the structure of these gamma cameras was virtually unchanged. The constant advances in research employing semiconductor crystals in scintigraphic examinations, as well as the need for the creation of new detectors systems, compacts, higher resolution and high sensitivity; combined with growing worldwide concern with minimization of doses of ionizing radiation used in diagnostic tests and therapies, spurred the development of new detector systems. Recently, two large companies launched commercially new detection systems for nuclear medicine tomographic acquisitions, using solid-state detectors, specifically crystals of zinc and cadmium telluride (CZT). Some advantages of this type of detector are sensitive improvement of signal / noise ratio, increased spectral and spatial resolution, which in short, resulting in greater clarity of the images obtained. The use of these detectors opens news perspectives for imaging protocols. However, due to numerous factors, equipment said CZT are focused on cardiology area, and due to the inherent characteristics, require reformulation of image acquisition protocols beyond those intended for Quality Control / Mestre
