Estudo comparativo do uso do gel de própolis e da geleia real no tratamento da mucosite oral induzida quimicamente? Estudo experimental in vivo. 2020. 108f.

Additionally, to verify by means of a systematic review of the literature the effect of phytotherapy in the treatment of chemoinduced OM 5-FU in an animal model. Material and Methods: This is an in vivo, experimental, controlled and blind study. Seventy-two male and female Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups (n = 18): control (C) (without treatment), photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) (6 J / cm2 intraoral laser), propolis gel (P) and royal jelly (RJ). On days 0 and 2, the animals received an intraperitoneal injection of 5-FU. On days 3 and 4, the oral mucosa was scarified. Therapies were started on day 5. Six animals per group were euthanized on days 8, 10 and 14. Phytochemical analysis of P and RJ were performed by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). The clinical analysis was performed using photographs and the histopathological evaluation (hematoxylin / eosin) was based on the reepithelization and inflammation scores. Immunohistochemical studies (pAKT, p-S6 and NFκB) and oxidative stress (Superoxide Dismutase-SOD, Glutathione reduced-GSH and Malonaldehyde-MDA) were performed. Then, a systematic search of the literature was performed, by searching the PubMed / Medline, CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library), EMBASE and Web of Science databases, from the initial records until January 2020). Results: The TLC analysis revealed the presence of compounds such as terpenes, saponins, essential oils and flavonoids in P and a high amount of sucrose (Rf 0.34) in RJ. On days 8 and 10, animals in the PBMT, P and RJ groups showed clinical improvement of OM and accelerated healing with lower morphological scores, increased immunoexpression of pS6 proteins (except on day 10), pAKT (p <0.05, ANOVA and Tukey test) and NF-kB transcription factor (Mann Whitney test; p <0.05) when compared to the control group. On day 14, the P group increased the levels of the antioxidant GSH when compared to the control group (p <0.05, ANOVA and Tukey's test). Thirteen articles were included in the systematic literature review (all using the 5-FU to induce OM in animals), out of a total of 503 articles. The formulation of treatments ranged from topical application of ointment, gel and extract, to the intake of herbal medicines. All investigations showed promising results in the use of herbal medicines in the management of OM. Conclusions: Our results showed that P and RJ, as well as PBMT, are effective therapies in the treatment of OM. The presence of sugars in RJ and flavonoids, terpenes and essential oils in P justifies the excellent wound healing action and its anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, the P group exhibited a reduction in tissue oxidative stress compared to the PBMT, RJ and control groups. In the 13 studies evaluated, it was possible to observe excellent results in tissue healing, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant action with the use of herbal medicines in the treatment of OM. Therefore, it can be suggested that the use of herbal medicines is a promising alternative in the treatment of chemically induced OM.Acesso AbertoMucosite oralTratamentoVias de sinalizaçãoFitoterápicosEstresse oxidativodoctoralThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::ODONTOLOGIA
