Vagal sensory afferent innervation corresponds to regulation of neurogenic inflammation in the airways. Capsaicin is mostly used for stimulation of sensory nerves that induce pain and inflammatory responses. It can specifically stimulate sensory afferent nerves, inducing neurogenic inflammation in the airways. According the past studies, we have found the right thoracic vagus nerve (RTVN) and right recurrent laryngeal nerve (RRLN); branches of right thoracic vagus trunk (RTVT) mediate different degree of neurogenic inflammation by intraenous injection of capsaicin (300 nmol/ml/kg). In order to investigate the innervation from the RTVN and RRLN of rat tracheobronchi and their involvement in plasma exudation, we injected 3 £gl of capsaicin (10 mg/ml) into RTVT and denervated the RRLN or RTVN and used India ink as tracer dye to label the leaky microvessels. Our observation indicated that injection of capsaicin into the RTVT coud induce obvious plasma exudation in trachea (area density of leaky blood vessels was about 22%), but plasma exudation was significantly decreased after denervation of RRLN. The left upper side of trachea was decreased by 77.6% and the right upper side decreased by 84.5%. This phenomenon was not caused by denervation of RTVN. The results suggest that vagal nerve innervation of upper trachea mostly came from the RLN. Otherwise, capsaicin injection into the RTVT also induced neurogenic inflammation in the larynx. Experimental denervation of both superior and recurrent laryngeal nerves resulted in a decrease of plasma extravasation by 84.98%. Denervation of either RTVN or RRLN also decreased the plasma extravasation in the larynx. The evidence suggest that sensory fibers in the superior laryngeal nerve, recurrent laryngeal nerve, and thoracic vagus nerve might come from the same population of vagal ganglion sensory neurons.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic syndrome affecting carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. It is characterized primarily by relative or absolute insufficiency of insulin secretion (type I diabetes or IDDM) or concomitant insensitivity / resistance to the metabolic action of insulin on target tissues (Type II diabetes or NIDDM), both resulting in hyperglycaemia. Diabetes mellitus is known to induce microvascular changes and alterations to neuronal functions. The neurovascular system comprising of unmyelinated primary afferent sensory neurones and the microvasculature innervated by these nerves play a major role in modulating inflammatory and tissue repair processes. Sensory nerve terminals respond to injury via the release of sensory neuropeptides which mediate inflammation and tissue repair. These processes are known to be altered in diabetes. This thesis is concerned with the role of diabetes in modulating microvascular blood flow directly and indirectly via modulating sensory nerve activity and the effect of these changes on repair processes in skin of 4 weeks streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The following hypotheses were examined: 1. That factors implicated in long-term diabetic vascular damage play a role in altering skin microvascular function in early diabetes. 2. That preventing the deleterious effects of these factors could improve skin microvascular blood flow and skin repair processes in early diabetes. (For complete abstract open document)

De nombreuse études ont mis en évidence la présence de processus neurogéniques dans l'hypothalamus adulte, une structure du diencéphale impliquée dans la régulation de nombreuses fonctions physiologiques. L’objectif de ma thèse a consisté à étudier les mécanismes de plasticité, tels que la neurogenèse adulte, et leur implication dans le contrôle neuroendocrinien de la fonction de la reproduction. Chez le mouton, une espèce saisonnée, la reproduction est contrôlée par la photopériode. Les variations saisonnières de la durée du jour entrainent des variations saisonnières du taux de prolifération et du nombre de nouveaux neurones. Après avoir identifié les composants cellulaires de la niche neurogénique hypothalamique dans cette espèce, nous avons démontré leur sensibilité à la photopériode. Une analyse longitudinale en neuroimagerie nous permettra de déterminer le devenir des nouveaux neurones hypothalamiques. Une étude fonctionnelle réalisée chez la souris a démontré que les cellules hypothalamiques en division qui expriment la GFAP possèdent un potentiel neurogénique et que leur ablation conduit à la perte de la fonction de reproduction chez le mâle. / Numerous studies have demonstrated the presence of neurogenic processes in the adult hypothalamus, a diencephalon structure involved in the regulation of many physiological functions. The objective of my thesis was to study the mechanisms of plasticity, such as adult neurogenesis, and their involvement in the neuroendocrine control of the reproductive function. In sheep, a seasonal species, reproduction is controlled by the photoperiod. Seasonal variations in the duration of the day lead to seasonal variations in the proliferation rate and in the number of new neurons. After identifying the cellular components of the hypothalamic neurogenic niche in this species, we demonstrated their sensitivity to photoperiod. A longitudinal analysis in neuroimaging will aimed to determine the fate of new hypothalamic neurons. A functional study in mice showed that dividing hypothalamic GFAP positive cells have a neurogenic potential and their ablation leads to severe impairment of the reproductive function in the male.

Assim, avaliaremos as alterações da função vesical com o envelhecimento em mulheres através do estudo urodinâmico e tentaremos desenvolver fórmulas que possam estimar os valores esperados dos parâmetros urodinâmicos avaliados de acordo com a idade. Materiais e métodos: Foi realizada uma análise retrospectiva dos estudos urodinâmicos realizados no Serviço de Urologia do Departamento de Cirurgia do Hospital das Clínicas da UFPE, cadastrados no prontuário eletrônico www.infomed.net.br entre maio de 2011 e novembro de 2015, a fim de obter e calcular os parâmetros necessários para avaliar a função vesical em diferentes faixas etárias (18-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 61-70, 71-80 e maior que 80 anos). Além disso, excluímos pacientes com qualquer fator conhecido que tenha o potencial de afetar a função vesical que não a idade. Resultados: De um total de 3103 exames analisados, foram selecionadas 719 pacientes do sexo feminino para serem incluídas no estudo. A média de idade das pacientes foi de 49,3 anos e em todos os parâmetros avaliados (fluxo máximo, volume urinado, complacência vesical, capacidade cistométrica máxima, pressão detrusora no fluxo máximo, resíduo pós-miccional, índice de contratilidade vesical e índice de eficiência vesical) obtivemos correlação estatisticamente significante entre o declínio da função vesical e a idade. Ainda, conseguimos expressar por equações matemáticas a relação de causa-efeito por regressão linear. Conclusão: O presente estudo observou que há uma diminuição da função vesical tanto de armazenamento (diminuição da capacidade cistométrica máxima e complacência vesical) quanto de esvaziamento (diminuição do fluxo máximo, da pressão detrusora no fluxo máximo, do volume urinado, do índice de contratilidade vesical e do índice de eficiência vesical, assim como o aumento do resíduo pós-miccional) com o envelhecimento. Paralelamente, estamos propondo fórmulas que podem estimar os valores esperados dos parâmetros urodinâmicos avaliados de acordo com a idade, na população estudada. / Purposes: The bladder function declines with age and can lead to impaired quality of life and serious health problems in the elderly. The aim of the study is to evaluate changes in bladder function with aging in women by urodynamic study and try to develop equations that can estimate the expected values of the urodynamic parameters evaluated according to the age. Methods: A retrospective analysis of urodynamic studies in the Urology Service of the Department of Surgery - Hospital das Clínicas, Federal University of Pernambuco, recorded in the electronic medical database www.infomed.net.br among May 2011 and November 2015 was performed in order to obtain and calculate the parameters necessary to evaluate bladder function in different age groups (18-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 61-70, 71-80 and above 80 years). Patients with any factor that had the potential to affect bladder function were excluded. Results: 3103 urodynamics studies were analyzed and 719 female patients were selected. The average age of patients was 49.3 years and in all evaluated parameters (maximum flow, volume of urination, bladder compliance, maximum cystometric capacity, detrusor pressure at maximum flow, post-void residual urine volume, bladder contractility index and bladder voiding efficiency) statistically significant correlation between the decline of bladder function and age were obtained. Also we presented mathematical equations with cause-effect relationship by linear regression. Conclusion: The present study showed that there is a decrease in the bladder storage function (reduction in maximum cystometric capacity and bladder compliance) and in the bladder emptying function (reduction of the maximum flow, detrusor pressure at maximum flow, volume of the urination, contractility index urinary bladder and bladder voiding efficiency , as well increased post-void residual urine volume) with aging. Analyzing data let us to propose equations that can estimate the expected values of the urodynamic parameters evaluated according to the age in the studied population.

Desta forma, o objetivo desta tese foi avaliar e comparar parâmetros da EMGs dos músculos supra-hióideos na deglutição de volumes fixos e consumo contínuo de água entre sujeitos com doença de Parkinson (DP) disfágicos e sujeitos com deglutição normal composto por sujeitos com DP e sujeitos sem sequelas neurológicas, considerados normais (grupo controle). Tratou-se de um estudo analítico descritivo do tipo transversal com amostra de conveniência. Foi desenvolvido no laboratório de Eletroneuromiografia em parceria com o Programa Pró-Parkinson e Real Hospital Português entre Setembro de 2014 à Abril de 2015. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa com Seres Humanos do Centro de Ciências da Saúde da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, sob ofício nº 842/2011. Os sujeitos assinaram o termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido, responderam a ficha de registro de dados e foram submetidos à EMGs dos músculos supra-hióideos na deglutição dos volumes fixos de 10 e 20 ml e no consumo contínuo de 100 ml de água. Apenas o grupo DP realizou o estadiamento pela escala de HY, foi avaliado a partir do mini exame do estado mental, para identificar dificuldades cognitivas que impeçam a realização da EMGs e submetido à Videoendoscopia da deglutição com a aplicação da escala de severidade da disfagia ao protocolo de avaliação específico deste exame. Apenas o grupo controle respondeu ao questionário de qualidade de vida em disfagia. O período total de coleta foi de sete meses. Os dados foram processados pelo BioanalyzerBR versão 2 e a análise estatística foi realizada pelo programa STATISTICA por meio da análise de variância (ANOVA), teste Exato de Fisher e o KAPPA, considerando nível de significância menor que 0,05. No grupo DP disfágico foi observado uma frequência maior de deglutição em partes no volume de 20 ml de água. Esta variável, em ambos os volumes testados, apresenta alta especificidade (97% - 10 ml e 94% - 20 ml), alto valor preditivo positivo (91% - 10 ml e 87%), odds ratio com boa razão (19.4 – 10 ml e 15.0 - 20ml) e houve significância estatística para ambos. A duração no grupo DP disfágico é mais prolongada em ambos os volumes fixos testados (Efeito principal para grupos - ANOVA: p= 0.0028*). O volume fixo de 10 ml apresenta especificidade de 91%, valor preditivo positivo 80% e odds ratio de 12.9 podendo ser considerado um bom teste para identificar a disfagia. Na prova do consumo contínuo de 100 ml de água, o número de deglutições foi maior, duração total mais prolongada e volume médio por gole menor no grupo DP disfágico, com significância estatística. O número de deglutições e o volume médio por gole apresentaram especificidade alta (88%), valor preditivo positivo alto (78%) e odds ratio de 8.2 com significância estatística para ambos. O registro eletromiográfico da deglutição em partes nos volumes fixos, duração da deglutição de 10 ml de água, número de deglutições, volume médio por gole, obtidos na prova do consumo contínuo de 100 ml de água, podem ser úteis para a indicação da disfagia neurogênica nos pacientes com DP. Sendo importante associar seus resultados às informações colhidas na avaliação clínica inicial. / Surface Electromyography (sEMG) has been widely used in research for the study of swallowing. Thus, the aim of this thesis was to evaluate and compare SEMG parameters of suprahyoid muscles swallowing fixed volumes and continuous consumption of water between subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) dysphagia and subjects with normal swallowing composed of subjects with PD and subjects without neurological involvement, considered normal (control group). This was a descriptive analytical cross-sectional study with a convenience sample. It was developed in the laboratory of Electroneuromyography in partnership with Pro-Parkinson Program and the Royal Portuguese Hospital from September 2014 to April 2015. The project was approved by the Ethics Committee on Human Research of the Health Sciences Center of the Federal University Pernambuco, under Official letter No. 842/2011. The subjects signed informed consent and informed, answered the data tab and underwent EMGs of suprahyoid muscles swallowing of fixed volumes of 10 and 20 ml and continuous consumption of 100 ml of water. Only the DP group performed staging the HY scale, it was evaluated from the Mini-Mental State Examination to identify cognitive difficulties that impede the realization of sEMG and submitted to swallowing video endoscopy with the implementation of dysphagia severity scale protocol specific evaluation of this examination. Only the control group responded to the questionnaire of quality of life in dysphagia. The total collection period was seven months. The data were processed by BioanalyzerBR version 2 and the statistical analysis was performed by STATISTICA program through the analysis of variance (ANOVA), Fisher's exact test and the KAPPA considering a significance level of 0.05. In dysphagia group DP greater frequency of swallowing was observed in the portions to 20 ml of water. This variable in both volumes tested, has high specificity (97% - 10 ml 94% - 20 ml), a high positive predictive value (91% - 10 ml 87%), odds ratios with good reason (19.4 - 10 ml and 15.0 - 20 ml) and was statistically significant for both. The duration in dysphagia DP group is longer in both tested fixed volumes (main effect for group - ANOVA: p = 0.0028 *). The fixed volume of 10 ml provides specificity 91%, positive predictive value 80% and an odds ratio of 12.9 and can be considered a good test to identify dysphagia. In proof of continuous consumption of 100 ml of water, the number of swallows was higher, total duration and longer average volume lower sip DP dysphagia group, with statistical significance. The number of swallowing and the average volume per swallow showed high specificity (88%), high positive predictive value (78%) and odds ratio of 8.2 with statistical significance for both. Electromyography record swallowing parts in fixed volumes, duration of swallowing 10 ml of water, number of swallows, average volume per swallow, obtained in the proof of continuous consumption of 100 ml of water, may be useful for the indication of neurogenic dysphagia in patients with PD. It is important to associate their results to the information gathered in the initial clinical evaluation.

A gastrosquise (G) é o defeito congênito de fechamento da parede abdominal, que causa inflamação intestinal. Avaliou-se aqui a expressão protéica e gênica de marcadores neurogênicos e oxidativos no intestino de fetos de ratas tratadas ou não com dexametasona - DMT. Estes foram divididos em grupos: não manipulado (controle; C), falso operado (sham; S) e operado (G). A atividade da mieloperoxidase (MPO) aumentou no grupo G vs. C, não sendo afetada pela DMT. A expressão RNAm do receptor NK2, mas não NK1, VPAC e TRPV1, foi reduzida nos grupos G e S vs. C, sendo esta revertida pela DMT. A iNOS, mas não nNOS e eNOS, foi maior no grupo G. A DMT não inibiu a iNOS mas aumentou a eNOS. COX-2 aumentou na G e não foi afetada pela DMT. A expressão protéica da SOD-1 ou 3-NT não diferiu entre grupos G e controle. O grupo G tratado com DMT exibiu maior nitração protéica. A IL-6 aumentou no grupo G versus C. Conclui-se que a inflamação no intestino de fetos com G origina-se de uma possível combinação entre mecanismos oxidativos, geração de prostanóides e fatores neurovasculares. / Gastroschisis (G) is a congenital defect of the abdominal wall closure resulting in perivisceritis. The role of neurovascular and oxidative mechanisms in this condition was investigated by analyzing the gene and proteic expressions of these markers in the gut of foetus from female rats treated or not with dexamethasone (DMT). Increased MPO activity was found in G vs. control (C) but not sham (S) group. Reduced mRNA expression of NK2 receptor was found in G and S groups. Neither NK1 nor both VIP and TRPV1 receptors expression changed among groups. Increased expression of iNOS and COX-2, but not nNOS, eNOS and COX-1, was seen in G group. DMT reversed the expression of NK2R and increased that of NK1R without affecting iNOS and COX-2 expression. Increased levels of IL-6 but neither SOD-1 nor 3-NT was found in G group. In conclusion, the inflammatory process observed in the gut of foetus with G arises through a combination of neurogenic mechanisms that act in concert with reactive oxygen species and generation of prostanoids to produce gut dysfunction.
