Assreuy, Ana Maria Sampaio; Adjafre, Beatriz Lima; Sousa, Évilla Rayanne Oliveira; Alves, Ana Paula Negreiros Nunes; Pires, Alana de FreitasArthropod venoms are potential sources of bioactive substances, providing tools for the validation of popular use and new drugs design. Ants belonging to the genus Dinoponera are used in the folk medicine to treat inflammatory conditions. It was previously demonstrated that the venom of the giant ant Dinoponera quadriceps (DqV), containing a mixture of polypeptides, elicit antinociceptive effect in mi...

Effects of dexamethasone and nimesulide on bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis...
Oliveira, Camila Carvalho de; Silva, Paulo Goberlânio de Barros; Ferreira Jr., Antonio Ernando Carlos; Gonçalves, Romélia PinheiroObjective: To evaluate the e ff ects of dexamethasone (DEX) and nimesulide (NIM) on Bisphosphonate-related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (BRONJ) in rats. Design: BRONJ was induced by zoledronic acid (ZA) infusion (0.2 mg/kg) in Wistar rats (n = 8), followed by extraction of the left lower fi rst molar (BRONJ groups). Control groups (n = 40) received saline (IV). For eight weeks, DEX (0.04, 0.4, 4 mg/kg) or saline (S...
