Analysis of a Brazilian cross-cultural adaptation of the FACE-Q SFAOS in facial...
Albuquerque,Maria Carolina Portela; Guerra,Janaina Motta; Aguiar,Maria Thaynara; Caetano,Caio Ferreira Freire; Borges,Marcela Maria FontesAbstract: The FACE-Q SFAOS is an instrument developed for esthetic facial procedures and has been validated in patients undergoing rhinoplasty. It consists of ten items that assess the current perception of facial appearance regarding symmetry, harmony, proportion, freshness or vitality, and self-perception of appearance; these items are perhaps important to guide demands in orofacial harmonization (OFH). We ai...

Expression of S-100, EMA, CD34 and presence of mast cells in eight oral neurofi...
Oliveira,Francisco Artur Forte; Fernandes,Clarissa Pessoa; Mota,Mário Rogério Lima; Sousa,Fabrício Bitu; Silva,Malena Regina de Freitas eINTRODUCTION: The rarity of oral neurofibromas (ONs) generates problems regarding their epidemiological and immunohistochemical characterization. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of different markers in ONs and review epidemiologic data reported in the literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical (markers S-100, epithelial membrane antigen [EMA], CD34)...
Experimental model of traumatic ulcer in the cheek mucosa of rats
Cavalcante,Galyléia Meneses; Paula,Renata Janaína Sousa de; Souza,Leonardo Peres de; Sousa,Fabrício Bitu; Mota,Mário Rogério LimaPURPOSE: To establish an experimental model of traumatic ulcer in rat cheek mucosa for utilization in future alternative therapy studies. METHODS: A total of 60 adult male rats (250 - 300g) were used. Ulceration of the left cheek mucosa was provoked by abrasion using a nº 15 scalpel blade. The animals were observed for 10 days, during which they were weighed and their ulcers were measured. The histological char...
Estudo genético do gene p16 pela técnica de PCR-SSCP e expressão de proteína p1...
Hsieh,Ricardo; Sousa,Fabrício Bitu; Firmiano,Aline; Nunes,Fabio Daumas; Magalhães,Marina Helena Cury Gallottini de; Sotto,Mírian NacagamiFUNDAMENTOS: A deleção e mutação do gene CDKN2a que codifica um inibidor específico da ciclina dependente de quinase 4, a proteína p16, têm sido implicadas na tumorigênese do melanoma cutâneo. Entretanto, pouco se conhece sobre essas alterações genéticas em melanomas de mucosa oral. OBJETIVOS: Verificar a presença de alterações no gene p16 e sua expressão protéica em melanomas esporádicos orais e cutâneos. MATE...
