A forma crônica ou adulta (FA) se caracteriza por lesões localizadas com acometimento da pele, mucosa oral (MO) e pulmões; enquanto a forma aguda ou juvenil (FJ) é mais grave e disseminada com acometimento do fígado, baço e linfonodos (LNs). Nós examinamos a resposta inflamatória/imunológica em lesões de pacientes com formas clínicas distintas da PCM. Foram analisados a expressão de citocinas e o fenótipo das células presentes nos infiltrados de biópsias de mucosa oral de 15 pacientes com a forma adulta e de linfonodos de 15 pacientes com a forma juvenil da PCM por imuno-histoquímica (IHQ) e qPCR. Anticorpos monoclonais ou policlonais foram utilizados para caracterizar o infiltrado celular (CD68, CD15, CD3, CD8, CD56 e FOXP3), citocinas...Observação: O resumo, na íntegra, poderá ser visualizado no texto completo da tese digital / Abstract: Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a systemic disease caused by the fungus P. brasiliensis, presents with a wide spectrum of clinical and immunological manifestations, varying from benign and localized forms to severe and disseminated forms. The chronic or adult form (AF) is characterized by localized lesions with involvement of the skin, oral mucosa (OM) and lungs. While the acute or juvenile form (JF) is more severe and presents disseminated widespread with the involvement of the liver, spleen and lymph nodes (LNs). In order to examine the inflammatory/immune response in lesions of patients with different clinical forms of PCM, we analyzed the expression of cytokines as well as the phenotype of the cells in the inflammatory infiltrate. Paraffin-embedded OM biopsies from 15 patients with the localized AF of PCM and LN from 15 patients with the JF of PCM were analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and qPCR. Monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies were used to characterize the cellular infiltrate (CD68, CD15, CD3, CD8, CD56, and FOXP3), cytokines...Note: The complete abstract is available with the full electronic document / Mestrado / Ciencias Biomedicas / Mestre em Ciências Médicas

Magister Chirurgiae Dentium - MChD / Oral physiological pigmentation presents with great variability with respect to sites, forms, patterns and contrasts in colour. Knowledge of the existence of pigmented lesions and their significance remained unclear for both the general public and oral clinicians alike. The possibility of malignant transformation of some pigmented lesions makes them important to monitor and biopsy. The prevalence of physiological pigmentation is unknown for the defined population group in this study. The results will be beneficial as part of a larger multicentre study with South Africa (Feller et al, 2015). Methodology: A cross sectional analytical study of patients that attended the University of the Western Cape Oral Health centres for routine treatment was conducted. After obtaining informed consent, patients were screened and asked a series of questions using a standardized questionnaire. From these completed questionnaires a prevalence relating to oral physiological pigmentation was determined. Oral physiological pigmentation did not have a male or female predominance in this study population group, but was associated with increased age. Oral pigmentation seemed to be well represented after 18 years of age. Patients were not usually aware of the pigmented gingiva unless being made aware off it.
