25. Polymorphism in CYP17, GSTM1 and the progesterone receptor genes and its relationship with mammographic density
Radiologic breast density is one of the predictive factors for breast cancer and the extent of the density is directly related to postmenopause. However, some patients have dense breasts even during postmenopause. This condition may be explained by the genes that codify for the proteins involved in the biosynthesis, as well as the activity and metabolism of

26. AZATIOPRINA NO TRATAMENTO DE PACIENTES COM COLITE ULCERATIVA CÓRTICO-DEPENDENTE: RESULTADOS E FATORES PREDITIVOS DE RESPOSTA
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a lifelong, immune-mediated inflammatory condition of the colonic mucosa, which is characterized by a relapsing and remitting course. Corticosteroids remain one of the most effective therapies for inducing remission in patients with moderate-to-severe UC. Nonetheless, corticosteroids are not used in maintenance therapy, mainly beca

27. Expressão e reposição estrogenica e androgenica no lobo ventral da prostata de camundongos diabeticos (NOD) frente a terapia insulinica / Androgen and estrogen replacement and expression in the ventral lobe of the prostate of non-obese diabetic mice (NOD) following insulin therapy
Diabetes adversely affects prostate morphology and function through alterations in the hypothalamic-hypophyseal-gonadal axis. Thus, the aims of this study were to characterize morphological, proliferative and immunological features of the prostate of diabetic mice after long term glycemic control and hormonal replacement, and as well as to relate these param

28. Anti-tumor necrosis factor-a for the treatment of steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation has been increasingly performed for a variety of hematologic diseases. Clinically significant acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurs in 9 to 50% of patients who receive allogeneic grafts, resulting in high morbidity and mortality. There is no standard therapy for patients with acute GVHD who do not respond to stero

29. Evaluation of the treatment with dehydroepiandrosterone in males and females Wistar rats during experimental Chagasdisease. / Avaliação do tratamento com dehidroepiandrosterona em ratos Wistarmachos e fêmeas durante a infecção chagásica experimental
Dehidroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has been considered for many researchers as the steroid of multiple functions. The immunologic stimulation triggered by DHEA has been demonstrated not only in animal models but also in humans. DHEA has been used as an alternative therapy to up-modulate immune response in host bearing viral, bacterial and parasitic infections. Th

30. Bone mineral metabolism and body composition in juvenile dermatomyositis / Avaliação do metabolismo óssea e composição corporal em pacientes com dermatomiosite juvenil
Objective. To analyze bone mineral density (BMD) in Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) and its possible association with body composition, disease activity, duration of disease, glucocorticoid (GC) use and biochemical bone parameters (including osteoprotegerin and RANKL). Methods. Twenty girls with JDM and 20 controls gender- and age-matched were selected for th

31. Perfil celular do lavado broncoalveolar em crianças e adolescentes com asma de difícil controle / Bronchoalveolar lavage cell profile in children and adolescents with severe asthma
Therapy resistant asthma is a major clinical problem in childhood. We investigated the inflammatory cell profile in the airways of children with severe asthma despite systemic steroid treatment and the relationship with clinical and functional severity. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed in 24 children with severe asthma (13M/11F; mean age 12.5 yrs,

32. Abordagem terapêutica dos hemangiomas na infância
Hemangioma é um tumor benigno de células endoteliais muito comum na infância, caracterizado por uma história natural com involução espontânea. Pode se manifestar de diversas formas, localizações e dimensões. Casos alarmantes necessitam de um diagnóstico precoce e intervenção imediata. O objetivo do presente estudo é avaliar retrospectivamente o

33. Analysis of the vasomotor response and metabolic parameters in healthy elders to the use of statin / Análise da resposta vasomotora e parâmetros metabólicos em idosos "saudáveis"ao uso de estatina
The Brazil, where old people make up 7% of the population, will have the sixth greatest population of elderly people in the world. Cardiovascular disease increases significantly as a person grows older and evidences show the importance of the endothelium and hypercholesterolemia in arteriosclerosis. However, it has not been established yet if treating dyslip

34. Síndrome de Sweet asociado a neoplasias
Sweet's syndrome was described in 1964 by Robert Douglas Sweet, as an entity he named acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis. It is characterized by five main features: 1) sudden appearance of erythematous and tender plaques on the face, neck and extremities; 2) fever; 3) polymorphonuclear leukocytes; 4) predominantly neutrophilic dense infiltrate in the derm

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most common illness in neonatal period, and is considered an associated factor for respiratory diseases. However, several aspects of GERD are controversy and not appropriately known in premature. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common chronic lung disease in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Due

36. Factors associated with emergency department visits due to acute asthma
It is important to identify characteristics related to poor disease control and frequent visits to the emergency department (ED). The objective of the present study was to compare the characteristics of patients attending the adult ED for treatment of asthma exacerbation with those attending an asthma specialist clinic (AC) in the same hospital, and to deter
