Biodiesel was produced by transesterification of castor oil (Ricinus communis) using a catalyst of CaO and kaolin (CaO / kaolin) had been performed. CaO was obtained from the calcination of eggshell. Castor oil is selected as biodiesel feedstock because it belongs to non-food oil and easy to cultivate. In general, the research method aims to comprise the CaO / Kaolin catalysts with a ratio of 15 mmol CaO per 1 gram of kaolin activated using impregnation method and biodiesel produced through transesterification of castor oil using the catalyst at 65 ºC for 8 hours with ratio of castor oil: methanol: catalyst (1: 15: 5% w / w). The reaction is carried out on the reflux system. The XRD analysis show the presence of silica and potassium aluminum silicate hydroxide in the catalyst. The EDS results show the catalyst-forming components CaO and silica. The FTIR analysis results show the absorption peak in the functional group forming the methyl ester compound. Based on the characterization of GC-MS, the largest methyl ester components contained in biodiesel are methyl risinoleate, methyl elaidat, methyl stearate, methyl linoleate, and methyl palmitate. The overall conversion of castor oil to methyl ester using CaO / kaolin catalyst is 97.36%. The largest component in castor oil is risinoleic acid, has been successfully converted to methyl risinoleate by 74.75%.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15408/jkv.v0i0.4778

Published: November 2018

A posterior urethral valve (PUV) is a membranous fold within the lumen of the posterior urethra that causes functional obstruction of the urine outflow. It is a common cause of obstructive uropathy in boys during the neonatal period. The disorder varies in its severity; in extreme cases, PUVs can be incompatible with postnatal life while other patients can suffer from renal and respiratory failure associated with oligohydramnios. Milder cases can present later in life with urinary incontinence and other urinary symptoms. The management of patients with PUVs remains a clinical challenge and includes endoscopic surgical resection of the urethral valve and follow-up during early infancy and adulthood to avoid progressive bladder dysfunction and monitor for chronic renal disease. This review will address the management of PUVs during the prenatal period, the neonatal period, and throughout the entire life of the patient.

Objetivo: analizar las acciones realizadas por cuidadores de ancianos dirigidas a residentes de instituciones de larga estancia para ancianos (ILEA) en Brasil.Metodología: estudio de naturaleza cualitativa con análisis de datos cuantitativo, clasificado como observacionaly analítico, desarrollado en 36 ILEA seleccionadas en 11 municipios brasileños de medio y gran porte, distribuidas en las 5 regiones geográficas.Se realizaron entrevistas a los cuidadores en el periodo 2008-2011. El análisis del material discursivo (corpus) fue mediado por el software de análisis cuantitativo de datos textualesAnalyse Lexicale par Contexte d’un Ensemble de Segments de Texte (ALCESTE), la versión 4.9 para Windows.Resultados: los participantes fueron 117 cuidadores de ancianos de las ILEA estudiadas. La mayoría de los cuidadores son mujeres y trabajan en ILEA sin ánimo de lucro (filantrópicas). El material textual originó 5 clases semánticas que se dividieron en dos ejes fundamentales. El primer eje se denominó “asistencia a la salud de ancianos institucionalizados” y el segundo eje “actividades habituales de cuidadores en las ILEA”.Conclusiones: los discursos evidenciaron que las principales acciones realizadas están relacionadas con el cuidado directo al anciano, como la alimentación, higiene personal –bucal y general– y administración de medicamentos. Además, la alud bucal ocupa un lugar de relevancia para los cuidadores, a pesar de que relaten dificultades para realizar esta práctica.

Objetivo: evaluar estado de salud mental, índice de depresión, humor y calidad de vida (CV) de ancianos.Metodología: estudio transversal cuantitativo realizado con 122 personas con más de 60 años, atendidas por la atención primaria. Los datos se recolectaron con inventarios de evaluación de CV (WHOQOL-OLD/WHOQOL-BREF), Escala de Depresión Geriátrica y cuestionario sociodemográfico y clínico. El análisis de los datos se ejecutó medianteestadística descriptiva.Resultados: la mayoría se considera saludable, aunque el 40,2 % presenta agravios a la salud, 55,6 % utiliza ansiolíticos y antidepresivos y 61,5 % presenta depresión, asociada estadísticamente a pertenecer al sexo femenino, estado civil viudo/soltero/divorciado, vivir solo y no practicaractividades de ocio y comunitarias. La depresión fue inversamente asociada al estado civil casado, residir con otraspersonas y a la práctica de actividad física y de ocio. Hubo fuerte asociación entre aumento de la intensidad de los síntomas depresivos y disminución de la CV en todos los ámbitos. La satisfacción con su CV fue moderada, con mayor puntuación en ‘relaciones sociales’ y menor en el dominio ‘físico’. En WHOQOL-OLD hubo puntuaciones medias más altas en los dominios ‘intimidad’ y ‘participación social’ y menor puntuación en el dominio ‘muerte y morir’.Conclusión: la percepción de mejor CV se asocia a la edad, estado civil, autopercepción de ‘estar saludable’ y ausenciade depresión. Tabaquismo se relaciona con peor CV en todos los ámbitos. La relación entre consumo de alcohol y mejor evaluación en el dominio ‘muerte y morir’ necesita ser elucidada.

Abstract: The cascade of care for people living with HIV infection (PLHIV) describes steps in diagnosis, linkage and retention in care, as well as the provision and success of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). The aim of this study was to evaluate the rates regarding the retention in care, on cART, and suppressed viral load for PLHIV attended at a Brazilian public health network. Data on PLHIV from 116 cities of Paraná, Southern Brazil, attended from 2012 to 2015, were retrospectively collected through the Laboratory Tests Control System (SISCEL). The number of PLHIV related to care increased about 22.5% from 2012 to 2015 (4,106 to 5,030 individuals). The proportion of PLHIV retained in care showed a trend toward stabilization around 81.7-86.9%. Every year, the use of cART increased up to 90.3% for PLHIV retained in care. Viral load suppression was achieved by 72.8% of patients on cART and 57.1% by those linked to care. Retention in care and HIV viral suppression were more likely to occur in older PLHIV than younger ones; similarly, patients living in medium-sized cities were more susceptible to these factors than in large- or small-sized cities. In conclusion, the study showed a high level of retention in care and HIV suppression on cART, as well as emphasized that current efforts for treating already-infected PLHIV remain a challenge for our health public institutions and may contribute to highlight steps for improvement of the HIV cascade of care in our population.

Authors: Jimenez Luciene , Adorno Rubens , Marques Vanda Regina
Published: November 2018

RESUMO Foi estudada a compreensão de seis socioeducadores sobre a relação entre o uso de drogas e a prática infracional de adolescentes em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa em meio aberto. O método qualitativo descritivo foi instrumentalizado por entrevistas semiestruturadas, e a análise se deu a partir das interpretações por eles atribuídas para o uso de drogas. Para os socioeducadores, tal uso está relacionado às condições históricas de exclusão social, ressaltando a dificuldade de acesso ao lazer e aos serviços de tratamento. A relação com a prática infracional foi constatada para um pequeno grupo poliusuário de drogas. Uma política para estes adolescentes deve atentar para além do ato infracional e da relação com as drogas, reconhecendo o sofrimento social na origem de tais eventos.

Abstract This study evaluated the effect of different hydrofluoric acid (HF) concentrations on the bond strength between a lithium disilicate-based glass ceramic and a resin cement. Eighty ceramic-blocks (12×7×2 mm) of IPS e.Max CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent) were produced and randomly assigned to 8 groups, considering 2 study factors: HF concentration in 4 levels, i.e., 1% (HF1), 3% (HF3), 5% (HF5), and 10% (HF10), and storage in 2 levels, i.e., baseline (tests were performed 24 h after cementation), and aged (storage for 150 days + 12,000 thermal-cycles at 5°C and 55°C). Acid etching (20 s) was performed, followed by washing, drying, and silanization. Four resin cement cylinders (ϕ= 0.96 mm) were built-up from starch matrices on each ceramic sample (n= 40). Additional ceramic samples were etched and analyzed for contact angle, micro-morphology, and roughness. In baseline condition (without aging), the HF3, HF5, and HF10 groups showed similar bond strength values (13.9 - 15.9 MPa), and HF1 (11.2 MPa) presented lower values than HF5, being that statistically different (p= 0.012). After aging, all the mean bond strengths statistically decreased, being that HF3, HF5, and HF10 (7.8 - 11 MPa) were similar and higher than HF1 (1.8 MPa) (p= 0.0001). For contact angle, HF3, HF5, and HF10 presented similar values (7.8 - 10.4°), lower than HF1 and CTRL groups. HF5 and HF10 presented rougher surfaces than other conditions. For better bond strength results, the tested ceramic may be etched by HF acid in concentrations of 3%, 5%, and 10%.

Published: November 2018

Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of grape seed extract (GSE), calcium hypochlorite [Ca(ClO)2], and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) irrigant solutions with rotary or reciprocating instrumentation for disinfection of root canals inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis. The mesiobuccal root canals of mandibular molars were prepared and inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis for 21 days. The roots were then randomly divided into the following eight experimental groups (n=11) according to the instrumentation technique and disinfection protocol: ProTaper Next or Reciproc R25 with sodium chloride (control group), 6% NaOCl, 6% Ca(ClO)2, or 50% GSE used for irrigation during instrumentation. The antimicrobial activity was determined on the basis of a reduction in colony-forming units (CFUs) counted on bacterial samples collected before and after root canal instrumentation and expressed as a percentage of reduction. Data were evaluated by two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD post-hoc tests (p<0.05). No significant differences were observed in bacterial reduction between the ProTaper Next and Reciproc R25 systems (p>0.05), regardless of the irrigant solution used. Furthermore, all active solutions (6% NaOCl, 50% GSE, and 6% Ca(ClO)2) showed similar potential to reduce bacterial counts (p>0.05) and were significantly more effective than sodium chloride (control) (p<0.05). The results suggest that the GSE and Ca(ClO)2 have potential clinical application as irrigant solutions in endodontic therapy since they present bactericidal efficacy against Enterococcus faecalis.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between timing of permanent tooth emergence with overweight and obesity in children from Brazilian Amazon region. The studied population consisted of 192 children, 09 to 12 year-old, from public schools at Manaus, Amazonas-Brazil. Clinical examination was performed and the tooth emergence was evaluated according to the number of permanent erupted teeth. Body mass index z-score was calculated. For the statistical analysis ‘Overweight/obese’ group was compared with ‘Normal weight’ group in a case to control ratio 1:2. The t-test based on age was used for means comparison between the groups. A linear regression analysis using age and gender as co-variants was used. The established alpha was 5%. One hundred twenty-seven children were classified as normal weight and 65 were classified as overweight/obese (49 were overweight and 16 were obese). Overweight/obesity condition was associated with the gender, in which boys had a higher chance to present higher weight conditions (OR=1.84; CI 95% 1.06-3.37; p=0.04). The mean number of permanent teeth was higher in the overweight/obesity group (p<0.001). Linear regression analysis demonstrated that nutritional status, gender and age were strongly associated with number of permanent erupted teeth (p<0.05). In conclusion, our study demonstrated that timing of permanent tooth emergence is associated with overweigh/obesity in children from Manaus, Brazil.

Published: November 2018

Abstract Recently, human natal dental pulp stem cells (hNDP-SCs) have been characterized in vitro and it has been shown that they satisfy criteria defining human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), as proposed by the International Society for Cellular Therapy. However, these results were reached in the presence of xenogeneic expansion medium, which has the potential to alter the cells’ functional capacity. To determine the validity of the previously reported hNDP-SCs characteristics for human cell therapy, we have cultured hNDP-SCs in allogeneic expansion medium. Two hNDP-SC lineages were isolated from vital natal teeth, donated by a healthy newborn female and cultured in 2% platelet rich plasma (PRP). Analysis of the phenotypic expressions, proliferation rates, viability, telomerase length and in vitro adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation potentials of two hNDP-SCs lineages (Zn001 and Zn002) were performed. Both lineages displayed similar morphology, proliferation rates, adipogenic, chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation potential. Telomere shortening by 41.0% and 13.49% occurred from 3rd till 14th passage for lineages Zn001 and Zn002 respectively. Viability of both lineages was higher than 90%. Flow cytometry demonstrated that both lineages were positive to the majority of tested markers, including markers, which were negatively, expressed when hNDP-SCs were cultured previously in xenogeneic medium. Using immune-cytochemistry the cells were shown to express beta III-tubulin, nestin, neurofilaments and Nanog. PRP used as allogeneic medium is suitable for cultivation of hNDP-SCs.

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT: Brycon gouldingi is a species of neotropical fish of socioeconomic and environmental importance in the Tocantins-Araguaia Basin. Genetic studies on this species are still limited, making it difficult to evaluate the population structure and genetic diversity in natural and captive stocks. Here, we aimed to evaluate the transferability of heterologous microsatellite primers in B. gouldingi. A total of 30 primers for eight species were evaluated: Brycon hilarii, Brycon opalinus, Brycon cephalus, Brycon orbignyanus, Prochilodus lineatus, Prochilodus argenteus, Piaractus mesopotamicus, and Colossoma macropomum. The primers that showed the best amplification patterns were applied to 20 specimens of B. gouldingi, and their genetic parameters were assessed. Among the 30 primers, seven showed satisfactory transferability, six of which belonged to the genus Brycon: Bh13 (B. hilarii), BoM5, BoM13 (B. opalinus), Borg9, Borg13, and Borg59 (B. orbignyanus), and one belonged to P. argenteus (Par80). The primers for the other species tested showed non-specificity or monomorphism; and were therefore, excluded from the analyses. The number of alleles ranged between two (Borg13 and Borg59) and three (Bh13, BoM5, BoM13, Borg9 and Par80), with sizes varying between 103 bp (BoM5) and 430 bp (Borg9). Four primers showed evidence of null alleles (BoM13, Borg9, Borg13, and Par80), which could probably be attributed to the respective Hardy-Weinberg deviation. Thus, seven primers were validated for cross-amplification in B. gouldingi, which may be used in future studies involving this species.
Evolução do Pronaf Crédito no Período 1996-2013: redimensionando o acesso pelos cadastros de pessoa física
Authors: Capellesso Adinor José , Cazella Ademir Antonio , Búrigo Fábio Luiz
Published: November 2018

Resumo: As análises sobre o Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar (Pronaf), política pública de crédito rural, mobilizam, em sua maioria, os valores aplicados e o número de contratos como indicadores quantitativos de desempenho. Evidências empíricas apontam para uma elevada incidência de estabelecimentos familiares (EF) com mais de um contrato de Pronaf no mesmo ano. O presente trabalho emprega como indicador o Cadastro de Pessoa Física (CPF) dos beneficiários para demonstrar que o acesso é bem inferior ao apontado pelos números de contratos. Em 2013, foram computados 2.099.279 contratos de Pronaf, número que equivale a 48% dos EFs cadastrados pelo Censo Agropecuário de 2006. Quando o acesso é medido pelos CPF, esse número cai para 1.154.613 tomadores, o que equivale a apenas 26% dos EFs recenseados. Em termos de concentração de recursos, o valor médio financiado por CPF registra forte crescimento a partir de 2008, o que fica parcialmente ocultado se o indicador for o valor médio dos contratos. Conclui-se que a avaliação da eficácia do Pronaf por meio da quantidade de CPF é mais precisa do que o número de contratos, constituindo-se em indicador relevante para aprimorar as análises sobre o alcance social desta política pública.
Desempenho Comparativo entre Países Exportadores de Pescado no Comércio Internacional: Brasil eficiente?
Authors: Farias Alessandra Cristina da Silva , Farias Rafael Bráz Azevedo
Published: November 2018

Resumo: O comércio internacional de pescados vem se destacando nas últimas décadas, pois é apontado como de ampla competição. Como forma de entender a dinâmica desse comércio, o objetivo da pesquisa foi caracterizar o desempenho histórico dos países exportadores de pescado no mercado internacional, com ênfase no Brasil, verificando quais países o comércio exterior serve como uma estratégia de crescimento econômico para os setores pesqueiro e aquícola. Para isso, uma matriz de desempenho foi elaborada de acordo com os valores e a tendência na série histórica mensuradas pelos índices de vantagem comparativa revelada (IVCR) e de posição relativa (IPR). Desse modo, a eficiência na dinâmica do comércio internacional de pescado se deve aos países desenvolvidos, que comercializam o pescado, principalmente entre si. Este intercâmbio é bem variado tanto em produtos quanto em países. No caso do Brasil, o desempenho foi ineficiente e decrescente, pois o pescado não é pauta importante no conjunto das exportações brasileiras, assim como a venda do produto para o mercado externo é inábil. Portanto, o pescado brasileiro não está servindo como uma estratégia de crescimento econômico para os setores pesqueiro e aquícola, utilizando-se do comércio internacional e interno.

Resumo: Este estudo teve por objetivo caracterizar a família no movimento de conservação da autopoiese da vida nos agroecossistemas do Complexo Ambiental Sacaí, Caracaraí, Roraima, Brasil. A estrutura teórico-metodológica teve como base o paradigma da complexidade sistêmica a partir da categoria de análise organização autopoiética familiar estruturada como meio para compreensão do real, a partir do desenho da pesquisa como estudo de múltiplos casos. Foram aplicadas técnicas como entrevistas com roteiro prévio, questionário censitário, diários de campo e fotografias. Participaram deste estudo 41 famílias. O artigo revelou a necessidade, desde a conservação dos autos dos sujeitos, o entendimento das estruturas organizacionais primárias nos sistemas ecológicos humanos, os quais não são padronizáveis nem replicáveis em sua totalidade. Os resultados apontam para o Complexo Ambiental Sacaí como fruto do processo recursivo da autopoiese, em que, ao mesmo tempo, assume organização de família nuclear, de família extensa troncal e de família extensa comunitária. Dessa forma, o Complexo Ambiental Sacaí, enquanto uma organização agroecossistêmica, assume como ponto de partida para a conservação da autopoiese, a múltipla possibilidade de (re)construção da vida desde a organização familiar.
A psicopatologia para além da dicotomia fato/valor
Authors: Venturi Camilo Barbosa
Published: November 2018

O estatuto ontológico dos transtornos mentais suscita um debate clássico entre perspectivas naturalistas e construcionistas sociais. Com instrumentais conceituais da filosofia da psiquiatria, argumenta--se que, apesar de aparentemente contrárias, posições naturalistas e construcionistas sociais recaem em uma dicotomia fato/valor. Como alternativa a essa polarização clássica, sugere-se uma posição normativista deflacionada, capaz de integrar descrições factuais e valores à psicopatologia.
Diagnostic evaluation of risk for bleeding in cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation
Authors: Braga Damaris Vieira , Brandão Marcos Antônio Gomes
Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the risk factors associated with cases of excessive bleeding in patients submitted to cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation. Method: case-control study on the factors of risk for bleeding based on the analysis of data from the medical charts of 216 patients submitted to cardiac surgery with elective extracorporeal circulation during a three-year period. Results: variables that are commonly associated with excessive bleeding in studies in the field were analyzed, and the following were considered as risk factors for the nursing diagnosis “risk for bleeding” (00206) in cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation: Body mass index lower than 26.35kg/m² (Odds ratio = 3.64); Extracorporeal circulation longer than 90 minutes (Odds ratio = 3.57); Hypothermia lower than 32°C (Odds ratio = 2.86); Metabolic acidosis (Odds ratio = 3.50) and Activated partial thromboplastin time longer than 40 seconds (Odds ratio= 2.55). Conclusion: such variables may be clinical indicators of an operational nature for a better characterization of the risk factor “treatment regimen” and a refinement of knowledge related to coagulopathy induced by extracorporeal circulation, which is currently presumably incorporated into the “treatment regimen” category of the nursing diagnostic classification by NANDA International, Inc.

Objective to compare two compression times of the radial artery after coronary angiography with customized compressive dressing regarding the occurrence of hemostasis and vascular complications. Method a randomized clinical study was carried out in patients undergoing elective transradial coronary angiography in two study groups: (G30), whose compressive dressing was maintained for 30 minutes, and (G60), whose compressive dressing was maintained for 60 minutes, both until the first evaluation of hemostasis. Variables related to patients, procedure, occurrence of hemostasis, and vascular complications were analyzed. Patency of the radial artery was assessed with Doppler vascular ultrasonography, immediately after removing the compressive dressing and 30 days after the procedure. Results the sample consisted of 152 patients in G30 and 151 in G60. Hemostasis was evidenced in the first evaluation in 76.3% of G30 patients and 84.2% of G60 patients (p = 0.063). There were 91 immediate complications, being 53 hematomas and 38 occlusions of the radial artery. We identified 18 late occlusions, 7 (5.5%) in G30 and 11 (8.2%) in G60. Conclusion the different compression times of the radial artery after coronary angiography did not significantly influence the occurrence of hemostasis and vascular complications.

Objective to evaluate the effect of relaxation therapy with guided imagery on state anxiety and cortisol in the immediate preoperative period in patients submitted to bariatric surgery by videolaparoscopy. Method a randomized, triple-blind clinical trial in a large teaching hospital in the interior of Minas Gerais. Twenty-four patients who would undergo video-laparoscopic bariatric surgery were randomly allocated in two groups, namely 12 in the control group and 12 in the experimental group. State anxiety was assessed by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and blood cortisol levels were measured before and after the intervention or standard care. Descriptive analyzes were used for the quantitative variables and Student’s t-test for independent samples, in the analysis of the differences between the state anxiety scores and cortisol levels. Results the experimental group presented a statistically significant reduction of the state anxiety scores (p = 0.005) as well as of cortisol levels (p <0.001) after the intervention. Conclusion guided imagery relaxation therapy is an effective nursing intervention for the reduction of state anxiety and blood cortisol levels in the preoperative period in patients undergoing video-laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT Knickzones are originated from basaltic outcroppings, present runs, riffles and pools and are highly influenced by flood pulses, which maintain their natural dynamic. However, the construction of hydroelectric power plants alters or eliminate the dynamism of this area and can affect the resident fauna that may be dependent on it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the organization of a knickzone’s ichthyofauna considering the influence of seasonality and connectivity of habitats. The study was performed in a knickzone located in the Sapucaí-Mirim River, Southeast Brazil. We sampled four rocky pools connected to the river and three isolated pools, during rainy and dry conditions. The analysis of the two factors (connectivity and seasonality) and of their interaction showed a significant influence only for seasonality on ichthyofauna structure, with higher values of abundance in the rainy season. The species that most contributed to the high dissimilarity between seasons were Knodus moenkhausii (50% of contribution) and Astyanax bockmanni (21%). The former is the most abundant species in the rainy season and the later in the dry season. The alteration between low and high water level occurs frequently in knickzones, as it is a rocky shallow platform in the middle of a river, with floods occurring seasonally or in stochastic short-term periods. This hydrological seasonal dynamic, high limnological variability and complex interactions of different habitats (pools, runs and rapids) explain the particular ichthyofauna structure in such small area. Our results also indicate the potential importance of basaltic knickzones for regional fish diversity conservation, especially due to the imminent threat by intensive hydropower reservoir construction.

Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT Studies on the composition of fish diet and on how species exploit food resources are especially relevant in tropical freshwater systems, where dietary plasticity is a commonly used strategy. In this study, we analysed the food spectrum and the environmental, seasonal and ontogenetic variations in the diet of a characid species [Hemigrammus marginatus Ellis, 1911 (Characidae)] in the region of the Upper Contas River, in the Diamantina Plateau, Brazil. We verified an omnivorous/invertivorous and opportunistic food habit, with predominance of insects and microcrustaceans, followed by filamentous algae. Seasonality did not alter the food resources used by the species. However, differences were detected in the dominant categories when comparing the two sampled rivers, as well as in the food consumption throughout the development of the species. These data increase the knowledge about the biology of H. marginatus and allow understanding the influence of the characteristics of the rivers and their surroundings in the trophic ecology of the species, as our findings have shown that, although insects have been expressive in both studied localities, microcrustaceans exhibit a greater relative importance in the more lentic environment, which is probably related to the variation in the availability of these resources in the environment.

RESUMO: A detecção superprecoce de gestação é de grande relevância quando se trata do aumento da produtividade dos rebanhos, na tentativa de redução do tempo de serviço desses animais. Por tal relevância, objetivou-se utilizar a ultrassonografia (US) Doppler como ferramenta para predição de gestação, avaliando a irrigação do corpo lúteo (CL), vinte dias após IATF. Setenta e três vacas mestiças foram avaliadas 20 dias após IATF por US transretal. Para obtenção do diâmetro do CL (DCL) e sua área (ACL) utilizou-se o modo B, na mensuração da área de vascularização (VCL) e seu percentual no CL (VCL%) empregou-se o Doppler Colorido. As imagens foram classificadas com base na quantidade de pixels coloridos e sua distribuição no CL, em dois grupos: diagnóstico preditivo negativo de gestação (DPN) e preditivo positivo (DPP). No mesmo dia, a funcionalidade do CL foi determinada pela concentração plasmática de P4. O diagnóstico de gestação definitivo foi realizado por US 35 dias após as IATFs. Utilizou-se o teste t de Student (com P<0,05) na avaliação das variáveis. Grupo gestantes apresentou médias superiores (P<0,05) para todas as variáveis ao Grupo Não Gestantes. O diagnóstico preditivo demonstrou 83,33% de especificidade, sensibilidade de 100% e acurácia de 91,79%. Conclui-se que a US doppler do CL aos 20 dias pós IATF é um método confiável no diagnóstico precoce de gestação.

ABSTRACT: The inflammatory infiltrate in the tumor microenvironment, particularly in mammary tumors, has aroused great interest in oncology, to play different roles in the progression or tumor regression dependent on the types and cell subsets involved. The present study aimed to evaluate (1) the occurrence and intensity of macrophage infiltration in the mammary carcinoma microenvironment, (2) the expression of SOCS1 and SOCS3 proteins in tumor associated macrophages, (3) any association between these parameters and tumor development, as well as survival rates in female dogs. Twenty-two female dogs diagnosed as carcinoma arising in a mixed tumor (CMT) by histopathology were divided into two groups following mastectomy: dogs without metastasis (CMT(-)=11) and those with metastasis (CMT(+)=11). The following parameters were analyzed: tumor size, lymph node metastasis, clinical stage, histological grade, distribution and intensity of inflammatory infiltrate, tumor macrophage quantification by immunohistochemical analysis of SOCS1 and SOCS3 expression, and immunophenotyping of peripheral blood leukocytes by flow cytometry. Dogs with the higher proportions of macrophages in the inflammatory infiltrate (≥400/tumor) also had higher survival rates in comparison with dogs with less macrophages. Immunostaining revealed higher proportions of SOCS3-positive macrophages in dogs without lymph node metastasis, while SOCS1-positive macrophages were predominant in dogs with metastasis (p<0.05). Multivariate analysis found associations between survival rate and clinical staging (p=0.025), histological grade (p=0.007), and the expression of MHC-CI in circulating monocytes (p=0.018). Higher SOCS3 expression in activated macrophages within the inflammatory infiltrate were considered indicative of an antitumor immune response, improved clinicopathological parameters and longer survival, whereas SOCS1-related activation was associated with tumor progression, metastasis development and reduced survival in female dogs with mammary carcinomas.

SUMMARY This recommendation consensus for hypofractionated whole-breast radiotherapy (RT) was organized by the Brazilian Society of Radiotherapy (SBRT) considering the optimal scenario for indication and safety in the technology applied. All controversies and contraindication matters (hypofractionated RT in patients who underwent chemotherapy [CT], hypofractionated RT in lymphatic drainage, hypofractionated RT after mastectomy with or without immediate reconstruction, boost during surgery, hypofractionated RT in patients under 50 years old, hypofractionated RT in large breasts, hypofractionated RT in histology of carcinoma in situ [DCIS]) was discussed during a meeting in person, and a consensus was reached when there was an agreement of at least 75% among panel members. The grade for recommendation was also suggested according to the level of scientific evidence available, qualified as weak, medium, or strong. Thus, this consensus will aid Brazilian radiotherapy experts regarding indications and particularities of this technique as a viable and safe alternative for the national reality.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE To study factors affecting the liver regeneration after hepatectomy METHODS With 3D reconstitution technology, liver regeneration ability of 117 patients was analysed, and relative factors were studied. RESULTS There was no statistically difference between the volume of simulated liver resection and the actual liver resection. All livers had different degrees of regeneration after surgery. Age, gender and blood indicators had no impact on liver regeneration, while surgery time, intraoperative blood loss, blood flow blocking time and different ways of liver resection had a significant impact on liver regeneration; In addition, the patients’ own pathological status, including, hepatitis and liver fibrosis all had a significant impact on liver regeneration. CONCLUSION 3D reconstitution model is a good model to calculate liver volume. Age, gender, blood indicators and biochemistry indicators have no impact on liver regeneration, but surgery indicators and patients’ own pathological status have influence on liver regeneration.
