O objetivo foi avaliar se a resina composta fluida em lesões cervicais não cariosas (LCNCs) melhora as taxas de retenção, descoloração marginal e adaptação, em pacientes adultos, por meio de uma revisão sistemática e metanálise. Foram pesquisadas sem restrições as bibliotecas Medline, Scopus, Web  of Science, Lilacs, BBO, Cochrane Library e SIGLE (bases cinzentas), resumos do IADR     e registros de ensaios clínicos (REBEC). Dissertações e teses também foram pesquisadas através das bases de dados ProQuest Dissertações e Periódicos Capes Teses. Foram incluídos apenas ensaios clínicos randomizados que compararam as restaurações com resina composta fluida e resina composta de viscosidade regular em LCNCs. A ferramenta da Cochrane Collaboration foi utilizada para avaliar o risco de viés dos estudos elegíveis. A ferramenta GRADE foi usada para avaliar a qualidade da evidência para cada estudo, de acordo com seus resultados. Após a remoção de duplicatas e avaliação por títulos e abstracts, 8 estudos mantiveram-se para a análise qualitativa. Não foi observada diferença significativa entre os grupos quanto a retenção nem descoloração marginal em todos os períodos avaliados (1 a 3 anos). Observou-se melhor adaptação marginal para as restaurações que foram realizadas com resina fluida. A qualidade da evidência foi classificada como moderada para perda ou retenção aos 3 anos e baixa e/ou muito baixa para todos os outros desfechos. Concluiu-se que a viscosidade da resina composta não influencia as taxas de retenção e descoloração marginal das restaurações em LCNCs.Palavras-chave: Lesões Cervicais. Flow.

Introduction: The objective of this systematic review is to assess the effect of vibrational force on biomarkers for orthodontic tooth movement. Methods: An electronic search was conducted for relevant studies (up to December 31, 2020) on the following databases: Pubmed, Google scholar, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Wiley Library, and ProQuest Dissertation Abstracts and Thesis database. Hand searching of selected orthodontic journals was also undertaken. The selected studies were assessed for the risk of bias in Cochrane collaboration risk of bias tool. The “traffic plot” and “weighted plot” risk of bias distribution are designed in the RoB 2 tool. The 2 authors extracted the data and analyzed it. Results: Six studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The risks of biases were high for 4, low and some concern for other 2 studies. The biomarkers, medium, device, frequency and duration of device, as well as other data were extracted. The outcomes of the studies were found to be heterogenous. Conclusion: One study showed highly statistically significant levels of IL-1 beta with <.001. Rate of tooth movement was correlated with levels of released biomarkers under the influence of vibrational force in 3 studies, but it was found to be significant only in 1 study. It was further observed that vibration does not have any significant reduction in pain and discomfort.

Uma revisão sistemática foi realizada para avaliar a redução de microrganismos intracanal em dentes com necrose pulpar com o uso da terapia fotodinâmica (TFD) comparada ao hidróxido de cálcio (HC). A pesquisa buscou ensaios clínicos randomizados que empregaram a TFD para auxiliar na desinfecção intracanal em dentes com necrose pulpar comparada com o uso do HC. A busca foi realizada no PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, BBO, Cochrane Library e literatura cinzenta. Resumos do IADR, registros de ensaios inéditos, dissertações e teses também foram pesquisados. A ferramenta de análise de risco de viés da Cochrane Collaboration foi aplicada para a avaliação da qualidade dos estudos e a qualidade de evidência com o GRADE. Foram identificados 121 artigos. Apenas 5 estudos permaneceram na síntese qualitativa, sendo que um foi considerado de “baixo” risco de viés e 4 considerados com risco de viés “indefinido” nos domínios-chaves. Os 5 artigos foram incluídos na meta-análise. A redução de microrganismos em dentes com necrose pulpar comparando a TFD em relação ao HC foi de 0,01 (intervalo de confiança [CI] = -0,04 a 0,07, p = 0,59). A qualidade de evidência foi classificada como moderado para os tratamentos. Esse resultado demonstra que não houve diferença entre as terapias. Pode-se concluir que não houve diferença entre o uso da TFD ou do HC na desinfecção intracanal de dentes com necrose pulpar.

Introduction : Le syndrome d’apnées obstructives du sommeil (SAOS) est une affection très répandue et insuffisamment diagnostiquée, ce qui en fait un problème majeur de santé publique et de sécurité. La rééducation myofonctionnelle orofaciale (RMO) a été montrée efficace dans le traitement multidisciplinaire des SAOS de l’enfant, de l’adolescent et de l’adulte et elle est prescrite à plusieurs étapes de ces prises en charge. Objectifs : L’objectif principal de cette revue systématique de la littérature était d’évaluer l’efficacité de la rééducation myofonctionnelle orofaciale (RMO), active ou passive, dans le traitement du syndrome d’apnées obstructives du sommeil chez les enfants, les adolescents et les adultes. Matériel et méthodes : La revue systématique de la littérature fut entreprise à partir des trois bases de données électroniques : Medline (via PubMed),Cochrane Library, Web of Science Core Collection, et complétée par une recherche limitée de la littérature grise (Google Scholar) afin d’identifier les études évaluant l’efficacité de la RMO sur le SAOS. Le critère de jugement principal était une diminution de l’indice d’apnées/hypopnées (IHA) d’au moins cinq épisodes par heure par rapport à l’état initial. Les critères de jugement secondaires étaient une amélioration de la qualité subjective du sommeil, de la qualité du sommeil mesurée par polysomnographie nocturne et de la qualité de vie mesurée subjectivement. Résultats : Seulement dix études répondaient à tous les critères d’inclusion. Huit étaient des essais cliniques contrôlés randomisés, une était une étude de cohorte prospective et une autre était une étude de cohorte rétrospective. Six études étaient consacrées au SAOS de l’adulte et quatre au SAOS pédiatrique. Toutes les études incluses ont été évaluées à « faible risque de biais » d’après les douze critères de risque de biais du Cochrane Back Review Group. D’après les données probantes disponibles, la RMO permet une réduction significative de l’IAH, jusqu’à 90,6 % chez l’enfant et jusqu’à 92,06 % chez l’adulte. Elle permet une diminution significative de l’intensité et de la fréquence du ronflement, participe à une réduction de la somnolence diurne, limite la réapparition des symptômes d’apnée obstructive du sommeil (AOS) après adénoamygdalectomie chez l’enfant et améliore l’adhésion au traitement par ventilation en pression positive continue (PPC). La RMO passive, avec l’assistance apportée au patient par le port d’une orthèse sur mesure à bille, augmente l’observance à la rééducation, permet une réduction significative de l’intensité du ronflement, de l’IAH et un accroissement significatif des voies aérifères supérieures. Conclusions : Les données publiées montrent que la rééducation myofonctionnelle orofaciale est efficace dans les traitements multidisciplinaires des SAOS de l’enfant, de l’adolescent et de l’adulte et devrait être largement prescrite à plusieurs étapes de ces prises en charge. La RMO passive, avec l’orthèse d’avancée mandibulaire à bille conçue par Michèle Hervy-Auboiron, aide à pallier les fréquents défauts d’observance observés lors des traitements par RMO active.

Background: Cognitive Training (CT) has demonstrated some benefits to cognitive and psychosocial function in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and early dementia, but the certainty related to those findings remains unclear. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms by which CT improves cognitive functioning may help to understand the relationships between CT and cognitive function. The purpose of this review was to identify the evidence for neuroimaging outcomes in studies of CT in MCI and early Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Methods: Medline, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and The Cochrane Library were searched with a predefined search strategy, which yielded 1778 articles. Studies were suitable for inclusion where a CT program was used in patients with MCI or AD, with a structural or functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) outcome. Studies were assessed for quality using the Downs and Black criteria. Results: Medline, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and The Cochrane Library were searched with a predefined search strategy, which yielded 1778 articles. Studies were suitable for inclusion where a CT program was used in patients with MCI or AD, with a structural or functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) outcome. Studies were assessed for quality using the Downs and Black criteria. Conclusions: CT resulted in variable functional and structural changes in dementia, and conclusions are limited by heterogeneity and study quality. Larger, more robust studies are required to correlate these findings with clinical benefits from CT.

Background: Immunotherapy for multiple myeloma (MM) has been the focus in recent years due to its myeloma-specific immune responses. We reviewed the literature on non-Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to highlight future perspectives. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov to include phase I/II clinical trials. Data from 39 studies (1906 patients) were included. Of all the agents, Isatuximab (Isa, anti-CD38) and F50067 (anti-CXCR4) were the only mAbs to produce encouraging results as monotherapy with overall response rates (ORRs) of 66.7% and 32% respectively. Isa showed activity when used in combination with lenalidomide (Len) and dexamethasone (Dex), producing a clinical benefit rate (CBR) of 83%. Additionally, Isa used in combination with pomalidomide (Pom) and Dex resulted in a CBR of 73%. Indatuximab Ravtansine (anti-CD138 antibody-drug conjugate) produced an ORR of 78% and 79% when used in combination with Len-Dex and Pom-Dex, respectively. Conclusions: Combination therapy using mAbs such as indatuximab, pembrolizumab, lorvotuzumab, siltuximab or dacetuzumab with chemotherapy agents produced better outcomes as compared to monotherapies. Further clinical trials investigating mAbs targeting CD38 used in combination therapy are warranted.

Sensory priming is a technique to facilitate neuroplasticity and improve motor skills after injury. Common sensory priming modalities include peripheral nerve stimulation/somatosensory electrical stimulation (PNS/SES), transient functional deafferentation (TFD), and vibration. The aim of this study was to determine whether sensory priming with a motor intervention results in improved upper limb motor impairment or function after stroke. PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science, and EMBASE were the databases used to search the literature in July 2020. This scoping review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and recommendations for the Cochrane collaboration. In total, 30 studies were included in the analysis: three studies examined TFD, 16 examined PNS/SES, 10 studied vibration, and one combined the three stimulation techniques. Most studies reported significant improvements for participants receiving sensory priming. Given the low risk, it may be advantageous to use sensory-based priming prior to or concurrent with upper limb training after stroke.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disease, affects approximately 50 million people worldwide, which warrants the search for reliable new biomarkers for early diagnosis of AD. Brain-derived exosomal (BDE) proteins, which are extracellular nanovesicles released by all cell lineages of the central nervous system, have been focused as biomarkers for diagnosis, screening, prognosis prediction, and monitoring in AD. This review focused on the possibility of BDE proteins as AD biomarkers. The articles published prior to 26 January 2021 were searched in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library to identify all relevant studies that reported exosome biomarkers in blood samples of patients with AD. From 342 articles, 20 studies were selected for analysis. We conducted a meta-analysis of six BDE proteins and found that levels of amyloid-β42 (standardized mean difference (SMD) = 1.534, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.595–2.474), total-tau (SMD = 1.224, 95% CI: 0.534–1.915), tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (SMD = 4.038, 95% CI: 2.312-5.764), and tau phosphorylated at serine 396 (SMD = 2.511, 95% CI: 0.795–4.227) were significantly different in patients with AD compared to those in control. Whereas, those of p-tyrosine-insulin receptor substrate-1 and heat shock protein 70 did not show significant differences. This review suggested that Aβ42, t-tau, p-T181-tau, and p-S396-tau could be effective in diagnosing AD as blood biomarkers, despite the limitation in the meta-analysis based on the availability of data. Therefore, certain BDE proteins could be used as effective biomarkers for AD.

Abstract Background Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). An estimated 1.7 billion people worldwide are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (LTBI) during the incubation period without any obvious symptoms. Because of MTB’s high infection and mortality rates, there is an urgent need to develop a fast, portable, and sensitive diagnostic technology for its detection. Methods We included research from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase and extracted the data. MetaDisc and STATA were used to build forest plots, Deek’s funnel plot, Fagan plot, and bivariate boxplot for analysis. Results Forty-six articles were analyzed, the results of which are as follows: sensitivity and specificity were 0.92 (0.91–0.93) and 0.95 (0.94–0.95) respectively. The NLR and PLR were 0.04 (95% CI 0.03–0.07) and 25.32 (95% CI 12.38–51.78) respectively. DOR was 639.60 (243.04–1683.18). The area under the SROC curve (AUC) was 0.99. Conclusions MPT64 exhibits good diagnostic efficiency for MTB. There is no obvious heterogeneity between the three commercial kits.

Abstract Background In recent years, emerging studies have demonstrated critical functions and potential clinical applications of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in osteosarcoma. To further validate the prognostic value of multiple lncRNAs, we have conducted this updated meta-analysis. Methods Literature retrieval was conducted by searching PubMed, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library (last update by October 2, 2019). A meta-analysis was performed to explore association between lncRNAs expression and overall survival (OS) of osteosarcoma patients. Relationships between lncRNAs expression and other clinicopathological features were also analyzed respectively. Results Overall, 4351 patients from 62 studies were included in this meta-analysis and 25 lncRNAs were identified. Pooled analyses showed that high expression of 14 lncRNAs connoted worse OS, while two lncRNAs were associated with positive outcome. Further, analysis toward osteosarcoma clinicopathologic features demonstrated that overexpression of TUG1 and XIST indicated poor clinical parameters of patients. Conclusions This meta-analysis has elucidated the prognostic potential of 16 lncRNAs in human osteosarcoma. Evidently, desperate expression and functional targets of these lncRNAs offer new approaches for prognosis and therapy of osteosarcoma.
