    To observe the effect of ciprofloxacin on both pregnancy and physical development of fetuses, the drug was orally administered to thirty pregnant rats at doses of 20 and 40 mg/kg body weight from day-1 to day-19 of gestation. The intact rat fetuses were isolated on day-19 of gestation. Ciprofloxacin induced general changes in the reproductive performance of female rats and significant alterations in the development of the skeletal parameters of fetuses.6117980Barrow, M.V., Taylor, W.J., A rapid method for detecting malformations in rat fetuses (1967) J Morphol, 127, pp. 291-306Berkovitch, M., Pastuszak, A., Gazarian, M., Lewis, M., Koren, G., Safety of the new quinolones in pregnancy (1994) Obstet Gynecol, 84, pp. 535-538Danisovicova, A., Brezina, M., Belan, S., Kayserova, H., Kaiserova, E., Hruskovic, I., Orosova, K., Matheova, E., Magnetic resonance imaging in children receiving quinolones: No evidence of quinolone-induced arthropathy.

    Bruno Groppo, "The Schafranek Case" : An Historian before the Bar Since 1991, the Austrian historian Hans Schafranek is the object of a legal action that concerns all historians of modern history. Author of a book about the deportation from the Soviet Union of hundreds of German and Austrian antifascists to Nazi Germany between 1937 and 1941, he has been brought to court and convicted of using archival documents open to any researcher, documents calling into question a political official who, previously, hotly denied that the deportations took place. Even the decision of the court of appeals, favorable to the defendant, in part of a dangerous precedent with respect to the freedom to do research and publish in the field of contemporary history. The scientific community in Germany and Austria has mobilized in defense of Schafranek and this freedom to do research.Groppo Bruno. Le cas Schafranek : un historien devant la justice.

    EMPIRICAL ESSAYS IN DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS

    In developing countries, where formal credit and insurance markets are incomplete or non-existent, households use informal mechanisms to increase their consumption, savings and insurance possibilities. This dissertation studies two of these informal devices: participation in Rotating Savings and Credit Associations (roscas), and internal migration. I mainly follow an empirical approach, using the Indonesia Family Life Survey dataset (IFLS). In particular, I analyze the effect of mothers’ participation in roscas on children secondary or tertiary school enrollment: taking into account the endogeneity of maternal participation in roscas, I find that maternal participation significantly increases the probability of children’s school enrollment. The results show a negative correlation between the unobservables determining rosca participation and the unobservables determining schooling. This can be interpreted as evidence that in households that are more vulnerable to shocks, mothers invest less in their children’s education, while increasing their participation in roscas, as an insurance and savings device. The subsequent chapter analyzes the determinants of internal migration in Indonesia, distinguishing between ‘individual migration’ and ‘family migration’, where the first relates to movements which individuals undertake alone, while the latter indicates movements they undertake with their families. The estimates, performed on men and women samples separately, highlight that individual and family migration have very distinct determinants. For instance, an increase in household wealth (proxied by the value of land owned) does not influence the probability of individual migration, while significantly reducing the probability of family moves. The results also show that, among men, individuals whose households have intermediate levels of income are less likely to move alone, compared to those in the extreme of the households' income distribution. This is consistent with the predictions of the New Economics of Labour Migration. The final chapter (joint with M. Mendola, Università degli Studi di Milano Bicocca) studies the impact of internal migration on the consumption growth of origin households. We are able to disentangle the impact of current and return migration, while taking into account the endogeneity of internal migration. We find that having current internal migrants does not exert a statistically significant impact on origin households’ consumption growth, while having return internal migrants significantly reduces per capita consumption growth at origin. The IFLS data suggest that the negative effect of return migration on consumption growth is likely to be explained by a lower income potential of returning migrants with respect to current migrants and non-migrants

    Objective: Antimicrobial agents in combination with anti-inflammatory drugs have been usually prescribed in both Medicine and Dentistry. However, few scientific reports support this clinical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of betamethasone and diclofenac sodium on serum and tissue concentration of amoxicillin in rats. Methods: Four polyurethane sponges were implanted in the back skin of 48 rats. After seven days the animals were divided into 6 groups (n=8). Group 1: amoxicillin (25 mg/kg); G2: diclofenac sodium (2.5 mg/kg); G3: betamethasone (0.1 mg/kg); G4: diclofenac sodium and amoxicillin; G5: betamethasone and amoxicillin; and G6: 0.9% sodium chloride solution (1.0 mL - control group). All drugs were administered in a single dose. After 90 minutes, the granulomatous tissues of each animal were surgically removed and weighed. Blood was collected from cervical plexus, centrifuged and 10μL of serum was placed on paper discs. In order to estimate amoxicillin concentration, serum and granulomatous tissues were separately submitted to microbiological assay, which used 108cfu/mL of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 (penicillin-susceptible strain). After incubation (18 hours, 37°C) the inhibition zones were measured and compared to a regression curve. Results: No inhibition zones were observed for groups 2, 3 and 6. Tissue and serum concentrations of both G1 (4.14μ g/g and 2.06μ g/mL, respectively) and G5 (3.87μ g/g and 1.70μ g/mL, respectively) showed statistically significant differences (Kruskal-Wallis, p<0.05) in comparison to G4 (1.45μ g/g and 0.41μ g/mL, respectively). G1 and G5 did not differ significantly (p>0.05). Conclusion: Considering single doses, betamethasone did not interfere with amoxicillin levels but diclofenac sodium reduced both tissue and serum levels of amoxicillin in rats.145319323Agarwal, G., Awasthi, S., Kabra, S.K., Kaul, A., Singhi, S., Walter, S.D., Three day versus five day treatment with amoxicillin for non-severe pneumonia in young children: A multicentre randomised controlled trial (2004) BMJ, 328, p. 791Alexander, R.E., Throndson, R.R., A review of perioperative corticosteroid use in dentoalveolar surgery (2000) Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod, 90, pp. 406-415Baglie S, Groppo FC, Mattos-Filho TR.

    Amoxicillin is used as the drug of first choice in many situations in medicine and dentistry, in spite of several reports regarding bacterial resistance. There is little data about the tissue concentration of this antimicrobial agent. Serum levels of amoxicillin have been evaluated in detail, but tissue levels have not. This study was carried out to determine the tissue concentration of amoxicillin during the first 10 h after administration. Four polyurethane sponges were implanted in the backs of 54 male rats. After 14 days, they received 40 mg/kg of po amoxicillin suspension. The animals were killed in groups of 6 at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360, 480 and 600 min after the administration. Serum, placed on paper discs, and granulomatous tissue were assayed by a microbiological method using Mueller Hinton agar inoculated with 108 cfu of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923). After 18 h of incubation, the inhibition zones were measured. It was observed that the drug in the serum and the tissue reached higher concentrations than MIC and MBC within a period of 30 min and 8 h following administration. We conclude that this method can allow determination of antibiotic tissue concentration without the need for infecting the animal and, therefore, without the associated animal pain and suffering in presently used models.4419720

    Antibiotics And Pregnancy

    No full text
    Like anybody else, pregnant women are susceptible to infections. The correct treatment of these women, however, must consider along with pathogens, the infection site and antibiotic pharmacokinetics, the fetus and possible side effects to the child. When prescribing over this special condition, the physician must remember that the prescription will affect two organism and the drug must treat the mother without affecting the fetus. Beta-lactams having a long history of use without significant deleterious effects on the fetuses still are the safest choice during pregnancy. However, considering the constant increase of multi-resistant microorganisms, the physician has been forced to use different antimicrobial agents. Usually, data regarding safety during pregnancy are very limited, which causes serious doubts during prescription. In addition, many studies regarding the safe use of antibiotics during pregnancy are inconclusive or demand more evidence. The present study is a wide revision regarding the use of antibiotics during pregnancy, considering their pharmacokinetics and the clinical experience in recent years. It also intends to assist the physician during prescription and to give information to the pharma-cists to help pregnant women.607483493Ahlfors, C.E., Unbound bilirubin associated with kernicterus: A historical approach (2000) J Pediatr, 137, pp. 540-544Andrade, S.E., Gurwitz, J.H., Davis, R.L., Chan, K.A., Finkelstein, J.A., Fortman, K., McPhillips, H., Platt, R., Prescription drug use in pregnancy (2004) Am J Obstet Gynecol, 191, pp. 398-407Aselton, P., Jick, H., Milunsky, A., Hunter, J.R., Stergachis, A., First-trimester drug use and congenital disorders (1985) Obstet Gynecol, 65, pp. 451-455(2004) Ketek - Telithromycin, , http://www.fda.gov/cder/foi/label/2004/21144_ketek_lbl.pdf, searched May, 2004(2004) Rulide - Approved Product Information 2000, , http://www.pharma.aventis.com.au/corporate/products/pi/ Rulide%20and%20Rulide%20D.pdf, searched DecemberBeard, C.M., Noller, K.L., O'Fallon, W.M., Kurland, L.T., Dahlin, D.C., Cancer after exposure to metronidazole (1988) Mayo Clin Proc, 63, pp. 147-153Berkovitch, M., Pastuszak, A., Gazarian, M., Lewis, M., Koren, G., Safety of the new quinolones in pregnancy (1994) Obstet Gynecol, 84, pp. 535-538Bibler, M.R., Frame, P.T., Hagler, D.N., Bode, R.B., Staneck, J.L., Clinical evaluation of efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety of teicoplanin for serious gram-positive infections (1987) Antimicrob Agents Chemother, 31, pp. 207-212Birkenfeld, A., Anteby, S.O., The effect of ampicillin and colistin on post-Caesarean section endometritis with identification of possible risk factors (1983) Aust N Z J Obstet Gynaecol, 23, pp. 204-207Blanchard, M., Oppliger, R., Bucher, U., Positive direct Coombs' test in acute leukemias and other hemoblastoses: Relation to clavulanic acid-containing antibiotics?

    The Influence Of Altered Occlusion On Pro-inflammatory Cytokine Levels In The Tmj Synovial Tissues Of Rats

    No full text
    Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate whether altered occlusion affects both the condylar cartilage thickness and the cytokine levels of the TMJs of rats. Design Thirty adult-male rats (n = 30) were randomly assigned to three experimental conditions: a control group that underwent sham operations with unaltered occlusion; an FPDM group that underwent functional posterior displacement of the mandible that was induced by an incisor guiding appliance; and an iOVD group in which the increased occlusal vertical dimension was induced in the molars. The rats were subjected to the FPDM or iOVD model for 14 days and then killed. Both the right and left TMJs were removed and randomly assigned to examination with staining or immunoassay techniques. Toluidine blue staining was used to measure the thicknesses of the four layers of the articular cartilage (i.e., the fibrous, proliferating, mature, and hypertrophic layers). ELISA assays were used to assess the concentrations of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, and tumour necrosis factor (TNF-α). The measurements of the articular cartilage layers and cytokine concentrations were analyzed with ANOVA and Tukey's tests and Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests, respectively (α = 5%). Results The thickness of articular cartilage in the FPDM group (0.3 ± 0.03 mm) was significantly greater than those of the control (0.2 ± 0.01 mm) and iOVD (0.25 ± 0.03 mm) groups. No significant difference was observed between the control and iOVD groups. The four articular cartilage layers were thicker in the FPDM group than in the control and iOVD groups, and the latter two groups did not differ one from each other. Both the FPDM and iOVD groups exhibited higher cytokine levels than did the control (p < 0.05) group. Compared to the FPDM group, the iOVD group exhibited significantly higher levels of IL-1β and TNF-α. Conclusion Both models induced inflammation in the TMJ and caused significant structural changes in the TMJ and surrounding tissues. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.591111641171Xie, Q., Li, X., Xu, X., The difficult relationship between occlusal interferences and temporomandibular disorder - Insights from animal and human experimental studies (2013) J Oral Rehabil, 40 (4), pp. 279-295Kuang, B., Dai, J., Wang, Q.Y., Song, R., Jiao, K., Zhang, J., Combined degenerative and regenerative remodeling responses of the mandibular condyle to experimentally induced disordered occlusion (2013) Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop, 143 (1), pp. 69-76Liu, C., Kaneko, S., Soma, K., Effects of a mandibular lateral shift on the condyle and mandibular bone in growing rats (2007) Angle Orthod, 77 (5), pp. 787-793Wattanachai, T., Yonemitsu, I., Kaneko, S., Soma, K., Functional lateral shift of the mandible effects on the expression of ECM in rat temporomandibular cartilage (2009) Angle Orthod, 79, pp. 652-659Owtad, P., Potres, Z., Shen, G., Petocz, P., Darendeliler, M.A., A histochemical study on condylar cartilage and glenoid fossa during mandibular advancement (2011) Angle Orthod, 81 (2), pp. 270-276Satoh, K., Ogura, N., Akutsu, M., Kuboyama, N., Kuyama, K., Yamamoto, H., Expression of cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 in IL-1beta-induced synovitis of the temporomandibular joint (2009) J Oral Pathol Med, 38 (7), pp. 584-590Kaneyama, K., Segami, N., Nishimura, M., Suzuki, T., Sato, J., Importance of proinflammatory cytokines in synovial fluid from 121 joints with temporomandibular disorders (2002) Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg, 40 (5), pp. 418-423Tanimoto, K., Iwabuchi, Y., Tanne, Y., Kamiya, T., Inubushi, T., Kunimatsu, R., Interleukin-1 beta affects cyclooxygenase-2 expression and cartilage metabolism in mandibular condyle (2011) Arch Oral Biol, 56 (11), pp. 1412-1418Farias-Neto, A., Martins, A.P., Sánchez-Ayala, A., Rabie, A.B., Novaes, P.D., Rizzatti-Barbosa, C.M., The effect of posterior tooth loss on the expression of type II collagen, IL-1β and VEGF in the condylar cartilage of growing rats (2012) Arch Oral Biol, 57 (11), pp. 1551-1557Figueroba, S.R., Desjardins, M.P., Nani, B.D., Ferreira, L.E., Rossi, A.C., Santos, F.A., Effect of diazepam on temporomandibular joints in rats with increased occlusal vertical (2014) Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg, 52 (5), pp. 438-444Sun, L., Wang, M., He, J., Liu, L., Chen, S., Widmalm, S.E., Experimentally created nonbalanced occlusion effects on the thickness of the temporomandibular joint disc in rats (2009) Angle Orthod, 79 (1), pp. 51-53Mao, J.J., Rahemtulla, F., Scott, P.G., Proteoglycan expression in the rat temporomandibular joint in response to unilateral bite raise (1998) J Dent Res, 77, pp. 1520-1528Yamamoto, M., Involvement in morphological changes of the articular cartilage of rat temporomandibular joint induced by experimental malocclusion (1994) Fukuoka Igaku Zasshi, 85, pp. 78-90Cholasueksa, P., Warita, H., Soma, K., Alterations of the rat temporomandibular joint in functional posterior displacement of the mandible (2004) Angle Orthod, 74 (5), pp. 677-683Farias-Neto, A., Martins, A.P., Figueroba, S.R., Groppo, F.C., De Almeida, S.M., Rizzatti-Barbosa, C.M., Altered mandibular growth under functional posterior displacement in rats (2012) Angle Orthod, 82 (1), pp. 3-7Li, Y., Zhang, Z., Wu, S., Qiao, Y., A novel experimental design model for increasing occlusal vertical dimension (2010) J Craniofac Surg, 21 (2), pp. 450-457Zhang, X., Dai, J., Lu, L., Zhang, J., Zhang, M., Wang, Y., Experimentally created unilateral anterior crossbite induces a degenerative ossification phenotype in mandibular condyle of growing Sprague-Dawley rats (2013) J Oral Rehabil, 40 (7), pp. 500-508Kiliaridis, S., Thilander, B., Kjellberg, H., Topouzelis, N., Zafiriadis, A., Effect of low masticatory function on condylar growth: A morphometric study in the rat (1999) Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop, 116 (2), pp. 121-125Miehe, B., Fanghänel, J., Kubein-Meesenburg, D., Nägerl, H., Schwestka-Polly, R., Masticatory musculature under altered occlusal relationships - A model study with experimental animals (1999) Ann Anat, 181 (1), pp. 37-40Rabie, A.B., She, T.T., Hägg, U., Functional appliance therapy accelerates and enhances condylar growth (2003) Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop, 123 (1), pp. 40-48Mao, J.J., Rahemtulla, F., Scott, P.G., Proteoglycan expression in the rat temporomandibular joint in response to unilateral bite raise (1998) J Dent Res, 77 (7), pp. 1520-1528Fuentes, M.A., Opperman, L.A., Buschang, P., Bellinger, L.L., Carlson, D.S., Hinton, R.J., Lateral functional shift of the mandible: Part I.
