Alterações celulares e neurovasculares na polpa têm sido relacionadas a forças ortodónticas, usadas na movimentação dentária. As alterações observadas são geralmente relacionadas a alterações vasculares na polpa. Os primeiros estudos sobre alterações do fluxo sangüíneo pulpar (FSP) durante a movimentação dentária foram realizados usando técnicas qualitativas (e. g., cortes histológicos), e quantitativas (e. g., micro-esferas radioativas ou fluorescentes, radioespirometria). Tais técnicas são invasivas, destrutivas e não permitem o estudo de alterações dinâmicas do fluxo. Recentemente a fluxometria laser Doppler (FLD), uma técnica não invasiva, tem sido usada no estudo de alterações dinâmicas do FSP em humanos em condições próximas às reais. Mas os estudos disponíveis na literatura, usando a FLD, ainda são limitados a movimentos experimentais, pois ainda existem limitações práticas na FLD. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi, usando a FLD, estudar alterações do FSP de voluntários submetidos a duas fases de um tratamento ortodôntico corrente (nivelamento e retração), dentro de condições clinicas reais. Doze voluntários foram monitorados durante a fase de nivelamento e treze voluntários foram monitorados durante a fase de retração, antes da aplicação de forças, 20 minutos, 48h, 72h e 1 mês depois de aplicadas as forças. Analisando os resultados obtidos, durante as duas fases estudas foram encontradas evidências estatísticas suficientes para inferir que ocorrem alterações significativas no FSP, quando medidas via FLD, durante os movimentos e forças estudadas, nos seguintes momentos investigados: diminuição do FSP nos momentos 20 minutos, 48h e 72h. Durante o nivelamento, no dia 30 o FSP é próximo ou igual ao basal. Durante a retração, no dia 30 o fluxo ainda permanece diminuído. / Cellular and neurovascular changes in the pulp have been related to orthodontic forces, used to produce a dental movement. The observed alterations are generally related to pulpal vascular changes. Earlier studies on pulpal blood flow (PBF) changes during the dental movement were carried out by using qualitative techniques (e. g., histological slices), and quantitative (e. g., radioactive or fluorescent microspheres, radiospirometry). Such techniques are invasive, destructive, and do not allow dynamic flow changes to be studied. Recently the laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), a non-invasive technique, has been used to study dynamic PBF alterations in humans into nearly real conditions. The available studies in the literature, by using the LDF, are limited to experimental studies, probably due to the LDF practical limitations. The aim of this work was, by using the FDF, to study PBF alterations from volunteers subjected to two phases of a current orthodontic treatment (leveling and retraction), into real clinical conditions. Twelve volunteers were monitored during the leveling phase and thirteen volunteers were monitored during the retraction phase, before the force to be applied, and 20 minutes, 48 hr, 72 hr and 1 month later. Analyzing the obtained results, during the two studied phases, it were found suffice statistical evidences to infer that significant PBF decrease occurs on the investigates moments: 20 minutes, 48 hr and 72 hr. During the leveling phase, on day 30, the PBF is near or equal to the basal level. During the retraction, on day 30, the flow is still decreased.

[Truncated abstract] The development of several carbohydrate-based pharmaceuticals has stimulated an increased interest in the field of carbohydrate chemistry. The discovery of Acarbose and invention of Miglitol, treatments for type II diabetes, as well as the influenza treatments, Relenza and Tamiflu, have been largely responsible for this increased interest. These treatments operate by the inhibition of glycoside hydrolases, a group of enzymes important in a variety of biological processes. This thesis involves the study of a group of glycoside hydrolase inhibitors known as azasugars, which are nitrogen-containing sugar mimics . . . The final chapter, Chapter 4, focuses on the testing of these disaccharides as a possible alternative carbohydrate source for pre-term infants. Initially, commercially available glycoside hydrolases were used to detect any hydrolysis of the four disaccharides, with (206) exhibiting the most promising results (to provide D-glucose and D-galactose). Detailed kinetic studies were then conducted using homogenates obtained from pig intestinal mucosa. Unfortunately, the results indicated that (206) was unsuitable as an alternative carbohydrate source for pre-term infants.
