Background and Objectives: Chloroquine and its analog hydroxychloroquine are derivatives of 4-aminoquinoline and are regularly used in the treatment of malaria and autoimmune diseases. Among the side effects of these drugs, alterations associated with the auditory system are frequently mentioned. Thus, the aim of this systematic review is to systematically review publications on hearing disorders and chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine use.Materials and Methods: Inclusion criteria were observational or interventional studies on audiological assessment in participants who were using chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine. The methodological quality was independently assessed by two reviewers using the Meta-Analysis of Statistics: assessment and review Instrument. The certainty of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE tool.Results: A total of 1,372 non-duplicate papers were screened, out of which 17 were included in the final qualitative synthesis, and 5 studies in the meta-analysis. The odds ratio for the two subgroups evaluated did not show significance with no heterogeneity between the effects observed between the different diseases (I²=0%) and obtaining the global estimate of 0.76 (95% confidence interval [CI]=0.41–1.39; <i>p</i>>0.05). Despite the inclusion of papers with different disease samples, the heterogeneity observed in the analysis was low (I²= 0%) and prediction interval (95% PI=0.32–1.80; p>0.05) remained close to that estimated by the CI (95% CI=0.41–1.39; <i>p</i>>0.05). The certainty of the evidence assessed by the GRADE tool was considered very low due to the risk of bias, indirect evidence, and imprecision.Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that the use of chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine is not associated with hearing disorders.

<P>Innervation has proven to be critical in bone homeostasis/regeneration due to the effect of soluble factors, produced by nerve fibers, associated with changes in the activity of bone cells. Thus, in this study, we have established and characterized a coculture system comprising sensory neurons and osteoblasts to mimic the <I>in vivo</I> scenario where nerve fibers can be found in a bone microenvironment. Embryonic or adult primary dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells were cocultured in compartmentalized microfluidic platforms and morphological and functional tests were performed. The time of adhesion and readout of axonal outgrowth were improved by the alignment of DRG with the axis of microgrooves, which showed to be a crucial step for the designed experiments. Cocultures of entire DRG from adult origin with osteoblasts were performed, showing extended DRG projections towards the axonal compartment, reaching osteoblastic cells. Immunocytochemistry showed that the neurites present within the osteoblastic compartment were immunoreactive to synapsin and calcitonin gene-related peptide suggesting the presence of specialized structures involved in this crosstalk. This evidence was further confirmed by electron microscopy where varicosities were detected as well as electron dense structures in neurite membranes. Aiming to mimic the properties of tissue extracellular matrices, MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded in the axonal side upon laminin, collagen or within 3D functionalized alginate matrices and axonal outgrowth was clearly observed. In order to analyze and quantify data with reproducible image analysis, a semi-automated algorithm was also developed. The collagen and laminin substrates displayed a higher amount of axons reaching the axonal side. Overall, the established method revealed to be a suitable tool to study the interaction between the peripheral nervous system and bone cells in different contexts mimicking the <I>in vivo</I> scenario.</P>

Colorimetric Analysis of the Stability of Annatto Dye in Solution and Its Use in the Dyeing of Polyester Fibers

Due to the large amount of toxic effluents generated by the textile industry using most of synthetic dyes, naturaldyes are increasingly gaining prominence, in keeping with the global trend toward prioritizing the use of cleanertechnologies. However, the application of natural dyes is still restricted, mainly due to their instability in solution and poorfixation onto textile substrates. Thus, research is required to improve the performance of these dyes in order to obtainproducts with the characteristics desired by the industry. In this study, the potential of natural annatto dye in the dyeing ofpolyester (PES) fiber was analyzed and the color and stability parameters in solution were evaluated through twoexperiments. Initially, the stability of the natural annatto dye in solution was determined under different conditions oftemperature, pH, and dye concentration and the application of this dye in conventional PES fiber dyeing was investigated. Subsequently, the influence of the use of a carrier in the dyeing of PES fiber was evaluated. The results indicated that thevariables with the greatest effect on the degradation of the dye are temperature and pH. The natural annatto dye showed goodinteraction with the PES fiber in the conventional dyeing process, presenting good results of color yield and levels of fastness. In the dyeing processes conducted with and without a carrier, the dyeing performed in the latter provided better results, withthe advantage of allowing the application of lower temperatures.

Local Bifurcation and Instability Theory Applied to Formability Analysis

Sheet metal forming components are typically studied with the aid of finite element method based virtual tryout tools, since they allow to save money, time and effort in the design, production and process set-up of deep drawn parts. In all these development phases the analysis of defects is performed with the aid of the material forming limit diagram (FLD), since it allows defining a safe region that reduces: (i) necking; (ii) wrinkling and (iii) large deformation occurrence. It is known that the FLD represented in the strain space presents some disadvantages. The local bifurcation criterion proposed by Ito and Goya defines the critical state for a local bifurcation to set in, as a function of the stress level to work-hardening rate ratio. Thus, the main advantage is that the FLD represented in the stress plane is completely objective [1]. In this work the Ito and Goya model is used to evaluate formability, as well fracture mode and direction along different strain paths: (i) uniaxial tension; (ii) equibiaxial stretch; and (iii) plane-strain. All numerical simulations are performed with the in-house code DD3IMP [2, 3] and NXT [4] in which the Ito and Goya model is implemented, is applied to analyze the results.

Local Interpolation for Tools Surface Description

D.M. Neto,M.C. Oliveira,J.L. Alves,L.F. Menezes 한국소성가공학회 2010 기타자료 Vol.2010 No.6

Surface description accuracy is of paramount importance when modeling contact problems. However, most finite element method (FEM) researchers still resort to polyhedral models to describe contact surfaces, which can oversimplify the original system by neglecting the curvature. A simple algorithm for interpolating discretized surfaces and recover the original geometry was recently proposed by Nagata [1]. The main idea behind this parametric surface description (subsequently named Nagata patch) is the quadratic interpolation of a curved segment, from the position and normal vectors at the end points. The curved segment is used to recover the curvature of triangular or quadrilateral patches, defined by the vertices of the polyhedral mesh. This paper presents a study concerning the use of Nagata patches to local interpolate tools surface either defined by analytical functions or polyhedral models. The use of triangular or quadrilateral Nagata patches is compared, both in terms of efficiency and robustness of the local interpolation algorithm. Different strategies to approximate the tools normal defined by polyhedral models are presented and the error in the local interpolation is evaluated.

Objective: The aim of this study was to review the literature about the relevance of the whole body vibration (WBV) in decreasing the number of fractures in osteoporotic women. Methods: Searches were performed by three independent researchers through the PubMed and PEDro databases. Results: Only 0.1% of the publications with “Fracture and osteoporosis” have a relation with WBVexercise. The achievements have revealed a positive effect of this exercise in patients with risk factors for fractures like osteoporosis. Protocols were performed two to three times a week, from 6 up to 18 months, and with 12.6 up to 40 Hz as frequencies. Different tools were used to evaluate the effects of the WBV exercise in conditions that could cause fractures in postmenopausal women. Conclusions: Although the paucity of research regarding direct effects of WBV in decreasing fractures, WBV could be a feasible and effective way to modify well-recognized risk factors for falls and fractures, improvements in some aspects of neuromuscular function and balance. More studies have to be performed establish protocols with well controlled parameters.
