Haematological indexes of both inflammation and platelet activation have been suggested as predictive markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which has high prevalence in Paralympic athletes (PA). Different mechanisms could play a role in increasing CVD risk in PA with spinal cord injury (PA-SCI), lower limb amputation (PA-LLA), or upper limb impairment (PA-ULI). We compared, in 4 groups of PA competing in power, intermittent (mixed metabolism), and endurance sports, Framingham Risk Score (FRS), metabolic syndrome criteria (MetS-C), inflammation (INFLA) Score, 5 haematological indexes of platelet activation (mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), and the ratios between MPV and platelet (MPVPR), between MPV and lymphocyte (MPVLR), and between PDW and lymphocyte (PDWLR)) and the endogenous antioxidants uric acid (UA) and bilirubin (BR). A retrospective chart review of PA from preparticipation examinations’ records (London 2012 and Sochi 2014 Paralympics) was performed. We included 25 PA-SCI (13 with high and 12 with low lesion, PA-SCI-H and PA-SCI-L), 15 PA-LLA, and 10 PA-ULI. FRS and INFLA Score did not differ among groups, but PA-SCI-H had lower HDL, compared to PA-SCI-L and PA-ULI. PA-LLA had more MetS diagnostic criteria with significant higher glucose levels than other groups. PA-SCI-H had significantly lower lymphocytes’ count compared to PA-LLA and higher MPV, PDW, MPVPR, MPVLR, and PDWLR. SCI-H had lower BR, haemoglobin, haematocrit, proteins, and creatinine. No interaction was found between the 3 kinds of sitting sports and the 2 groups of health conditions (PA-SCI and PA-LLA). In conclusion, PA-LLA had a higher cardiometabolic risk, whereas PA-SCI-H had a higher platelet-derived cardiovascular risk. Further larger studies are needed to investigate the relationship between indexes of inflammation/oxidation and dietary habit, body composition, and physical fitness/performance in PA with motor impairments.
Frequency‐Domain‐Based Nonlinear Response Analysis of Stationary Ring Displacement of Noncontact Mechanical Seal

Published: November 2019

Dynamic characteristics affect the operational reliability of noncontacting mechanical seals, which involves the complex relationship between the system of noncontact mechanical seals, excitation, and response. Hence, it is one of the hot topics of current research. However, domestic and foreign scholars mainly calculate the response in the time domain by establishing a linear dynamic model so that the response results can be used for system stability and tracking analysis. In this study, according to the harmonic excitation, the stationary ring’s output response was expressed via the famous Volterra series and solved with a new method, which can be used to analyze the frequency response and to calculate the displacement response of the stationary ring with single and double harmonic excitation. Based on the analysis of the response results, the parameter (stationary ring mass, axial damping, stiffness, etc.) selection scheme of noncontact mechanical seals at high and low frequencies was obtained.

Objective. To compare the thickness of corneal layers, specifically the Descemet’s membrane (DM), in normal corneas and in failed grafts due to rejection (FGRs) using the digital histopathology and to propose a model for the measurement of corneal layers using this method. Methods. This is a prospective, cross-sectional study performed at the MUHC-McGill University Ocular Pathology & Translational Research Laboratory (McGill University, Montreal, Canada). Histopathological sections of 25 normal human corneas and 40 FGRs were fully digitalized and examined. Inclusion criteria: samples diagnosed as normal corneas or FGRs, from patients older than 18 years of age. Exclusion criteria: histopathological sections without adequate tissue or missing epidemiological information. For each sample, the thicknesses of the epithelium, stroma, and DM were acquired. From a perpendicular plane of reference, two central measurements and two nasal and two temporal peripheral measurements were obtained. Results. There were differences between the normal and FGR groups in the mean central thickness of the epithelium (p<0.001), the nasal and temporal stromal regions (p<0.001), and of the DM in the nasal and temporal regions (p<0.001). Compared with the extremities of the sample (nasal and temporal), the mean thickness of the DM in normal corneas was lower in the central region (p<0.001), and this difference was not found in the FGR group. Conclusions. Normal corneas have a thinner epithelium in the central region than the FGR group. In addition, the stroma and DM thicknesses of the nasal and temporal periphery were significantly higher in normal corneas than in those from the FGR group. The digital microscopy protocol applied in this study may be useful for further research studies regarding cornea and other tissues.
Antibody-Mediated Extreme Insulin Resistance: The Importance of Pre-Treatment Screening
Authors: Mosaferi Tina , Sherf Sahar , Sue Laura Y. , Donangelo Ines
Published: November 2019

We report the case of a 56 year-old Hispanic male with a 10-year history of type 2 diabetes who presented with abrupt onset of hyperglycemia resistant to escalating doses of intravenous insulin infusion (>2500 units daily). He was diagnosed with antibody-mediated insulin resistance given the presence of hyperglycemia despite receiving >200 units insulin/day, a lack of identifiable precipitants for diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, and elevated insulin antibodies. He underwent pre-immunomodulatory therapy screening for infections, rheumatologic disorders, and malignancy, which uncovered a new diagnosis of latent tuberculosis. While concurrently being treated for latent tuberculosis, he successfully responded to immunomodulatory therapy with rituximab, dexamethasone, and cyclophosphamide. Insulin was discontinued completely, and he maintained appropriate glycemic control on oral diabetic agents (metformin and pioglitazone). This case supports the use of immunomodulatory therapy for the treatment of antibody-mediated insulin resistance and highlights the importance of pre-immunomodulatory therapy screening to uncover occult infection or identify underlying neoplastic/rheumatologic disease prior to immunosuppression.

Published: November 2019

Background. Ventricular remodelling is a common pathological change at all stages of heart disease. Luhong granules are widely used in patients with chronic ventricular remodelling after myocardial infarction and can alleviate chest tightness, shortness of breath, and other symptoms. However, its effect on ventricular remodelling remains to be studied. Purpose. In this study, we investigated the effects of these granules on myocardial fibrosis in a rat model of myocardial infarction in vivo. Methods. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: the sham operation group, the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) group, the Luhong granule group, and the vancomycin group, with a sample size (n) of 10 rats in each group. The AMI model was established in all rats by ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery (the sham operation group did not undergo ligation). Luhong granules (0.5 ml·kg−1·d−1), vancomycin (0.075 g·ml−1·d−1), and 0.9% saline (5 ml·kg−1·d−1 for the sham operation and AMI groups) were administered orally for 6 weeks. Echocardiography was used to check cardiac structure and function. Myocardial and small intestinal tissue morphology was observed by haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, and heart samples were stained with Masson’s trichrome to analyse myocardial fibrosis. 16S rDNA sequencing was performed to detect changes in the gut flora. The level of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in plasma samples was quantified by stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Results. H&E and Masson’s trichrome staining of cardiac tissues showed that Luhong granules could partially reverse ventricular remodelling and improve intestinal barrier function (P<0.05). Echocardiographic analysis showed that, compared with the AMI group, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the Luhong granule group was increased (P<0.05). Stool sequencing and microbiological analysis showed changes in Bacteroidales, Alistipes, Phascolarctobacterium, etc., which can produce TMAO. We found that Luhong granules can reduce Bacteroidales, Alistipes, and Phascolarctobacterium at the genus level. The levels of TMAO and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in plasma samples were reduced in the Luhong granule group (P<0.05). Conclusions. Our results indicate that Luhong granules reduce TMAO and LPS levels in circulating blood by improving intestinal flora and intestinal barrier function to delay ventricular remodelling after myocardial infarction.
Variação morfológica no padrão lobar e nas fissuras dos pulmões
Authors: Pereira Thiago Scremin Boscolo , Santos Elizandra Moura , Marques Vanessa Belentani , Romano Eduardo Martini
Published: November 2019

Modelo do estudo: Relato de caso. Importância do problema: Lobos e fissuras acessórias nos pulmões podem induzir a erros de interpretação e diagnóstico, além de favorecer a disseminação de patologias como a pneumonia para lobos adjacentes. Dessa forma, a constatação dessas alterações anatômicas pode colaborar em diagnósticos clínicos e procedimentos cirúrgicos. Comentários: Relatamos um caso raro de modificação anatômica nos lobos e fissuras dos pulmões. O pulmão esquerdo exibia um lobo médio acessório e uma fissura horizontal completa. Por outro lado, o pulmão direito apresentava duas fissuras acessórias incompletas situadas inferiormente na face costal do lobo médio. Além disso, observamos que o hilo do pulmão esquerdo continha dois brônquios lobares (superior e inferior), um brônquio lobar acessório e três artérias pulmonares. O conhecimento das variações anatômicas aqui relatadas é fundamental, pois auxiliam os profissionais da saúde nos diagnósticos e nas decisões terapêuticas e cirúrgicas.
Evidences of plant blindness in a Brazilian urban green space with plaqued trees

Published: November 2019

Plant blindness is a recurrent issue in many urban green spaces. As an element of biodiversity perception, it is socially and individually determined. This paper brings up evidences of plant blindness through a quali-quantitative analysis of 49 interviews on an urban green area of the São Paulo state whose several trees have been recently plaqued. Respondents were not able to correctly identify plant elements and undervalued richness of different types of plants. Despite pointing out the necessity of green spaces in improving quality of life, respondents underestimated the importance of maintaining not only a green space, but a biodiverse one. We discuss the perception of a “good” green space is less associated with species richness, and more with passers-by expectations on a green space and with an innate plant blindness. We suppose informative plaques may play a role in reduce plant blindness, since plaques individualize plants that were once seen as components of a monotonous green landscape.

O destino do “Espirito Japonês”
Authors: Hirata Yoshinobu
Published: November 2019

O significado da expressão yamato damashii, “espírito japonês"，sofreu uma distorção, durante o decorrer da Historia, tendo sido utilizada, na época da Segunda Guerra, com uma conotação nacionalista que deturpava totalmente a sua concepção original. O presente trabalho procura, portanto, resgatar as primeiras idéias que se lhe associam, através de exemplos retirados de algumas das mais importantes obras da literatura japonesa.

Os morfemas finais Ne e Yo da língua japonesa, à luz das funções do Kyüjôhô (informações dadas) e Shinjôhô (informações novas) - um estudo da subjetividade e emoção
Authors: Mukai Yüki
Published: November 2019

Japanese final particles (shüjoshi) are situated at a modus (modality) layer, which expresses the speaker’s subjective attitude regarding the dictum (proposition) such as his judgement, supposition, volition, emotion and order. The speaker uses the final particle yo to express an assertive attitude generally when he introduces new information to which he wants the addressee to pay attention. On the other hand, the speaker uses a final particle ne, expecting the addressee to agree with him or in order to make his utterance roundabout, introducing given/old information. However, the speaker’s choice of yo or ne depends not only on the informational structure of discourse, but also on the human relationship or on the strategy used by that speaker in the moment of his utterance.

O Morfema de topicalização WA - um breve histórico
Authors: Mukai Yúki
Published: November 2019

The aim of this paper is to present a diachronic account of the functionalsemantic theories about the grammatical particle wa, argued by modem theoreticians (since the Taisho period [1912 ~j) of the Japanese language. The principal functions of wa are to indicate shudai (theme) and taihi (contrast), but few theoreticians have given significant attention to the identification of its functions in the moment of an utterance. According to our study, the following fact was revealed: for the analysis of that identification, it is necessary to consider not only the word preceding wa from the syntactic-semantic point of view, but also the intention/subjectivity of the speaker, the situational context (discourse flow) and the knowledge of the addressee, including an analysis from the pragmatic point of view.
Conversão e consumo religioso nas novas religiões japonesas: a igreja messiânica e a perfect liberty
Authors: Tomita Andréa Gomes Santiago
Published: November 2019

From the second half of 20th century on, Brazilian religious scenery has undergone a particular phenomenon: the expansion of New Japanese Religions (NJR). In the beginning, it took place, specially, among Japanese immigrants and their descendents in rural areas. By overcoming the hindrances caused by the cultural and linguistic differences, the NJR has gradually spread among the Brazilian population in urban areas. This article provides an account of some aspects of two NJR - Sekai Kyusei Kyô (which is known in Brazil as “Igreja Messiânica”) and Perfect Liberty - and discusses relevant themes to Sociology of Religion. The first part brings some issues about NJR in general in Japan, their characteristics and the appearance of Sekai Kyusei Kyo and Perfect Liberty in Brazil. The later one focuses on the activities of these religions relating them to conversion and religious consumption.
En: do chinês à diversidade conceptual do japonês análise das palavras autóctones do domínio do belo no universo de Genji monogatari
Authors: Morales Leiko Matsubara
Published: November 2019

This paper is a study on the semantic scope and its main objective is to compare the semantic-conceptual nuances of the logographic word “en” between the Chinese and Japanese languages in the 11th century，when it was the peak of the autochthonous culture’s flourish. We have chosen Genji Monogatari (1006)，written by Murasaki Shikibu, as our corpus for its significant occurrences in terms of quantitative numbers (from a total of 71 occurrences in the universe of kanabungaku works in the Heian Period (from 9th to 11th century)，57 were concentrated in Genji Monogatari) and qualitative numbers (a more comprehending syntactic distribution，in terms of syntagmatic relation in the sentential context in relation to other Chinese language borrowings). The analysis was done from the semasiological (the structural significance and structurable traces) and onomasiological dimensions (from the sign significance or constitutive concepts, the content expression). We took into account，although briefly， the extralinguistic features (social, cultural，historical and pragmatic contexts) when translating excerpts where “en” is found into Portuguese. We have mapped some previous studies，as well as the meanings registered in archaic Japanese dictionaries in order to analyze in which sense the introduction of this word contributed to the domain of “beauty”.

As condições de aceitação da culinária japonesa na cidade de São Paulo - por que os brasileiros começaram a apreciar a culinária japonesa?
Authors: Mori Koichi
Published: November 2019

No Brasil，a culinária japonesa era um cultural set “consumido” somente dentro da comunidade nikkei até a década de 70. Mas，a partir da década de 80, ela também começar a ser apreciada pelos brasileiros não-nikkeis, principalmente dos de classe média e alta. Hoje, existem mais de 600 restaurantes japoneses na cidade de São Paulo, e este número já ultrapassou o de churrascarias- Por que razões os brasileiros não-nikkeis começaram a apreciar esta culinária (por exemplo, sushi e sashimi), que antes era considerada esquisita, exótica e até mesmo “incomível”？ Este artigo tenta interpretar este fenômeno sob a ponto de vista sociologico e antropólogico.

Análise e crítica de dois materiais didáticos em língua japonesa
Authors: Mukai Yüki , Yoshikawa Mayumi Edna Iko
Published: November 2019

In this paper, constructive analysis of two teaching materials in Japanese Language: Nihongo Shoho (The Japan Foundation , 1981) and Minna no Nihongo (3A Corporation, 1998) is made from the point of view of Applied Linguistic, or better, from the point of view of the Japanese Language Teaching in Brazil. The main reason of this analysis is that, first of all, there is a difference that should be made salient in the method adopted by each material and the number of auxiliary materials. The feature that those two teaching materials have in common is their auxiliary/support characteristic for the courses, because we believe there is no teaching material that can be considered as a Bible for the education. In this context, we assure that the teaching materials (reference books) can be a useful information source for users (both for teachers and learners), but any material cannot be used exclusively. In other words, the foreign language education shouldn’t be centered on, nor be completely dependent on teaching materials, but on learners, because it is they who have to achieve their goals and reach the objectives of the course in a satisfactory way.
A segurança do Japão e os Estados Unidos da América
Authors: Watanabe Paulo Daniel
Published: November 2019

Since the end of World War II the issues regarding Japan’s security and defense have been discussed as a natural continuation of the American Foreign Policy. Although Japan is said to decide its own foreign policy by itself after getting back its sovereignty in the 50’s，Washington has always been deciding along with Japan and justifying its acts on the conflicting international system. At the end of World War II the Cold War was the main reason for the USA to take part almost by itself in the protection of the Japanese archipelago* Nowadays，Japan is still constitutionally prohibited from maintaining conventional armed forces having to delegate this mission to the USA, which has military bases on Okinawa Island- The negative impacts of this policy are already felt by Japan especially under the constant threats from North Korea and the military and economic growth of China. After the attacks of September 11th 2001，new government leaders have been trying to make Japan less dependent on the USA. Washington will not abandon its regional policy，as shown by Prime Minister Hatoyama’s fall. For some authors，Japan must have independent deterrence ways to guarantee its security and integrity in a still hostile environment shaped by the disasters of Japan's imperialist era. This article intends to analyze the evolution of Japan's defense policy since the occupation of the Allied Powers.

The role of the Japanese woman in the beginning of the Showa Era (1929-1945)，the experience of the Second World War，the émigration of Japanese artists to the “New World” and the appropriation of the Japanese “tradition” in Brazil are elements that will permeate these ceramist’s discourse, whose story is marked by the transcultural experience and by the constant negotiation of her identity in the relation with the “other”.

Hishikawa Moronobu: from paintings to prints
Authors: Cordaro Madalena Natsuko Hashimoto
Published: November 2019

O primeiro pintor e idealizador de gravuras ukiyo-e conhecido que produziu imagens dos bairros do prazer, suas cortesas e habitantes foi Hishikawa Moronobu, cujo rolo de pintura Yoshiwara Fuzoku Zuken, publicado no catálogo do Museu Goto, foi analisado em comparação com o álbum Yoshiwara-no tei, que versa sobre o mesmo tema, publicado na técnica de impressão linear (sumizuri-e). Outras fontes de artistas contemporâneos tais como Sukenobu, que idealizou muitos tipos de cortesas e beldades em geral,e alguns enxertos literários extraídos de Saikaku também foram analisados, pois eles clarificam certas características intimamente relacionadas com Moronobu, não somente em seu aspecto temático mas também em sua criação de um novo meio pictórico. Os rolos foram interpretados aqui também como literatura, literatura visual, devido ao modo como as imagens se interligam e narram histórias. Mudanças de cenas, escolha de certos aspectos, descrições de espaços externos e internos, representação de personagens variados do “mundo flutuante” foram analisados segundo seu tratamento nos dois meios, rolo de pintura e álbum de xilogravuras.

Uma nova perspectiva de pesquisas na área de língua japonesa no Brasil: do ponto de vista da Lingüística Aplicada
Authors: Mukai Yüki
Published: November 2019

Este artigo tem como objetivo considerar a influência da Lingüística Aplicada (LA) em relação à área de língua japonesa (LJ) no Brasil, sistematizar as subáreas e temas abordados nos anais do Encontro Nacional de Professores Universitários de Língua, Literatura e Cultura Japonesa nos sete últimos anos (de 2000 até 2006) na mesma área e identificar aqueles que ainda precisam ser explorados, principalmente, à luz da LA. Primeiramente, abordamos de forma breve o histórico e a natureza de LA (comparada à de Lingüística) no contexto brasileiro, para que, depois, possamos considerar sua influência no âmbito de LJ no Brasil. Nossos levantamentos revelaram que a variedade de subáreas/temas da LA na área de LJ é ainda bastante restrita, e deverá ser desenvolvida de imediato e de forma científico-académica.

School environment and oral health promotion: the National Survey of School Health (PeNSE)
Authors: Nery Newillames Gonçalves , Jordão Lidia Moraes Ribeiro , Freire Maria do Carmo Matias
Published: November 2019

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the potential support of schools for oral health promotion and associated factors in Brazilian capitals. METHODS: Data from 1,339 public and private schools of the 27 Brazilian capitals were obtained from the National Survey of School Health (PeNSE) 2015. Data from the capitals were obtained from the United Nations Development Program and the Department of Informatics of the Brazilian Unified Health System (Datasus). The indicator “ambiente escolar promotor de saúde bucal” (AEPSB – oral health promoting school environment) was designed from 21 variables of the school environment with possible influence on students’ oral health employing the categorical principal components analysis (CATPCA). Associations between the AEPSB and characteristics of schools, capitals and regions were tested (bivariate analysis). RESULTS: Ten variables comprised CAPTCA, after excluding those with low correlation or high multicollinearity. The analysis resulted in a model with three dimensions: D1. Within-school aspects (sales of food with added sugar in the canteen and health promotion actions), D2. Aspects of the area around the school (sales of food with added sugar in alternative points) and D3. prohibitive policies at school (prohibition of alcohol and tobacco consumption). The sum of the scores of the dimensions generated the AEPSB indicator, dichotomized by the median. From the total of schools studied, 51.2% (95%CI 48.5–53.8) presented a more favorable environment for oral health (higher AEPSB). In the capitals, this percentage ranged from 36.6% (95%CI 23.4–52.2) in Rio Branco to 80.4% (95%CI 67.2–89.1) in Florianópolis. Among the Brazilian regions, it ranged from 45.5% (95%CI 40.0–51.2) in the North to 67.6% (95%CI 59.4–74.9) in the South. Higher percentages of schools with higher AEPSB were found in public schools [58.1% (95%CI 54.9–61.2)] and in capitals and regions with higher Human Development Index [61.0% (95%IC 55.8–66.0) and 57.4% (95%CI 53.2–61.4), respectively] and lower Gini index [55.7% (95%CI 51.2–60.0) and 52.8 (95%CI 49.8–55.8), respectively]. CONCLUSIONS: The potential to support oral health promotion in schools in Brazilian capitals, assessed by the AEPSB indicator, was associated with contextual factors of schools, capitals and Brazilian regions.
