Do gênero ao hipergênero, do hipergênero ao sistema de hipergenericidade
Authors: Rezende Breno Rafael Martins Parreira Rodrigues
Published: February 2019

Neste artigo, que é fruto de uma pesquisa de mestrado ligada ao Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos Linguísticos, da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, apresentamos alguns resultados provenientes da análise discursiva que empreendemos em torno da rede social Facebook. Para tanto, valemo-nos do arcabouço teórico-metodológico da Análise do Discurso de linha fancesa, especialmente dos conceitos de gênero do discurso e hipergênero postulados por Dominique Maingueneau (2006, 2008b, 2010). Com efeito, o que pudemos demonstrar é que a rede social Facebook apresenta um comportamento discursivo distinto em relação a outros websites, implicando, assim, a formulação de novas categorias de análise. Em virtude disso, postulamos o conceito de sistema de hipergenericidade, que permitiu demonstrar que a pretensa "liberdade" enunciativa da Web, pelo menos no que diz respeito a essa rede social, não se aplica, uma vez que as identidades discursivas de suas páginas se inscrevem em um processo de legitimação que não é sem margens e que depende da relação que elas estabelecem com aquilo que nelas é posto a circular, especialmente sob a forma de compartilhamentos.

Políticas linguísticas no Brasil
Authors: Pasinatto Rubiamara
Published: February 2019

A língua é um corpo simbólico-político que está presente nas relações sociais e, consequentemente, na história das sociedades. As condições de funcionamento da língua Portuguesa ao longo dos séculos no Brasil não são homogêneas, haja vista que desde a chegada dos portugueses “às terras tupiniquins”, são registrados momentos históricos e políticos distintos, os quais contribuíram de maneira diferente para a fixação do idioma lusitano. Cabe lembrar que grande parte delas atuou para o silenciamento dos idiomas daqueles que viviam aqui, processo que aconteceu diante de práticas coercitivas e xenófobas. Diante disso, este artigo discute as principais ações do Estado que serviram como base para a tentativa de criação de uma unidade linguística no Brasil.
Uma abordagem discursiva do gênero anúncio publicitário no ensino de Língua Portuguesa
Authors: Alves de Araújo Guisardi Conceição Maria , Ottoni Maria Aparecida Resende
Published: February 2019

Vários estudos têm revelado a importância de se investir em uma abordagem discursiva de diferentes gêneros nas aulas de Língua Portuguesa da educação básica. Contudo, há ainda uma carência de proposições que levem em conta os vários modos semióticos que constituem esses gêneros e que possibilitem uma análise sistematizada desses modos em conjunto. Nessa perspectiva, apresentamos, neste artigo, uma proposta de ensino do gênero do discurso anúncio publicitário e um relato de sua aplicação, em uma turma de oitavo ano, do ensino fundamental, de uma escola localizada na área rural do Distrito Federal. Tal proposta foi construída com base em pressupostos da Gramática do Design Visual (KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN (2006[1996]) e na abordagem bakhtiniana de gêneros do discurso (BAKHTIN, 2003 [1979]). Acreditamos que foi possível fazer com que o aluno percebesse que a relação entre texto e contexto é fundamental para que ele consiga ler, interpretar e produzir. Por assim ser, é imperioso destacar a necessidade de uma tessitura do saber novo com os saberes já construídos, garantindo uma prática docente ressignificativa e dinâmica, abandonando a abordagem de uma língua estática e promovendo uma concepção de língua em uma visão interativa, dependente do contexto de produção e das intenções comunicativas, contribuindo, assim, para o ensino de língua portuguesa nas salas de aula da educação básica.

Effects of New Hampshire’s innovative assessment and accountability system on student achievement outcomes after three years
Authors: Evans Carla M.
Published: February 2019

New Hampshire’s Performance Assessment of Competency Education (PACE) pilot received a waiver from federal statutory requirements related to state annual achievement testing starting in the 2014-15 school year. PACE is considered an “innovative” assessment and accountability system because performance assessments are used to help determine student proficiency in most federally required grades and subjects instead of the state achievement test. One key criterion for success in the early years of the PACE innovative assessment system is “no harm” on the statewide accountability test. This descriptive study examines the effect of PACE on Grades 8 and 11 mathematics and English language arts student achievement during the first three years of implementation (2014-15, 2015-16, and 2016-17 school years) and the extent to which those effects vary for certain student subgroups using results from the state’s accountability tests (Smarter Balanced and SATs). Findings suggest that students in PACE schools tend to exhibit small positive effects on the Grades 8 and 11 state achievement tests in both subjects in comparison to students attending non-PACE comparison schools. Lower achieving students tended to exhibit small positive differential effects, whereas male students tended to exhibit small negative differential effects. Implications for research, policy, and practice are discussed.
Legislating education policy and equity at the ballot box: A descriptive analysis of the prevalence and content of education ballot initiatives over time
Authors: Farley Amy N.
Published: February 2019

Political scientists have long studied the use of direct democratic ballot initiatives—proposed directly by citizens and put before a statewide vote—as currently allowed in 24 U.S. states. Despite the application of ballot initiatives to legislate education policy, however, education scholars have not yet adequately investigated this phenomenon within American public education. In a comprehensive analysis of state-level direct democracy in education, this article examines the content and prevalence of education ballot initiatives used to shaped U.S. education policy over time. Analyses suggest voters have considered 282 ballot initiatives regarding a variety of education issues, including those related to both K-12 and higher education and addressing policy issues related to finance, governance, and civil rights and equal opportunity. Further, the prevalence of education initiatives has increased and their content has evolved over time, particularly with the advent of, and increase in, initiatives seeking to limit the rights and opportunities of traditionally underrepresented students. These findings contribute to scholarship regarding state-level education policymaking in general, and call on researchers to consider further the benefits and potentially negative consequences of direct democracy as an education policymaking tool, particularly for minoritized students.
Turkey red prints: identification of lead chromate, Prussian blue and logwood on Turkey red calico
Authors: Wertz Julie H. , Quye Anita , France David
Published: February 2019

In this research, printed Turkey red calico from the 19th century is analysed using conservation-based techniques to identify the materials used in their manufacture. Turkey red production was a significant industry in Scotland, and the textiles found in archives and collections are a valuable part of Scottish heritage and material history. Turkey red prints were produced via a unique dyeing process followed by discharge printing, and the analysis in this paper using SEM-EDX, FTIR, UHPLC, and microscopy confirms they were made as documented in the literature. Here, we show that lead chromate, Prussian blue, and logwood were used to create the distinctive prints. These results are useful to develop material-specific guidelines for storage and display for improved conservation and collection accessibility.

History of disruptions in laboratory medicine: what have we learned from predictions?
Authors: Kricka Larry J.
Published: February 2019

Predictions about the future of laboratory medicine have had a mixed success, and in some instances they have been overambitious and incorrectly assessed the future impact of emerging technologies. Current predictions suggest a more highly automated and connected future for diagnostic testing. The central laboratory of the future may be dominated by more robotics and more connectivity in order to take advantage of the benefits of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems (e.g. decision support software and imaging analytics). For point-of-care testing, mobile health (mHealth) may be in the ascendancy driven by healthcare initiatives from technology companies such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, IBM, Microsoft and Uber.
Clinical implications of blood pressure variability (BPV) in pregnancies: a review
Authors: Kasim Hanis Hidayu , Masri Maizatul Azma , Noh Nor Azila , Mokhtar Azlina , Mokhtar Rafidah Hanim
Published: February 2019

Background

Hypertension disorder in pregnancy (HDP) is the second most common contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Blood pressure variability (BPV), with the assistance of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), measures blood pressure readings in pregnant women and has the potential to predict the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) or preeclampsia (PE) before any symptoms develop.

Methodology

Studies involving ABPM among pregnant women were identified using electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Medscape, Ovid and ProQuest. These electronic databases were assessed from 1990 to 2018. Keywords used to search for literatures included a combination of BPV matched with pregnancy, pregnant women and HDP, gestational hypertension and/or PE.

Results

Out of 21,526 articles identified, a total of 10 studies met the criteria. Seven articles used the spectral analysis method while another two articles used a combination of spectral analysis, time domain and a non-linear method for BPV analysis. The final article described BPV as vagal baroreflex. Four articles agreed that high frequency (HF) BPV was mainly dominant from the second trimester until 4 days postpartum in HDP patients. This reflects the dominant features of parasympathetic activities among these patients. Two articles that used time domain also agreed that standard deviation (SD) BPV increased in PE patients.

Conclusions

In pregnancy, BPV has a strong impact on the knowledge understanding of the disease in clinical fields, allows a superior ability to predict PIH and PE in mid-pregnancy and offers potential value for addressing hypertension in pregnancy.

Authors: Dundar Aykut , Kocahan Sayad , Arslan Cengiz
Published: February 2019

Background

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different exercise loads (short, medium and long swimming distances) on apelin levels and some physical and hematologic parameters of male professional swimmers.

Materials and methods

Apelin levels, hematologic parameters, whole blood values and physical measurements, including body mass index (BMI), aerobic power values and anaerobic power values, were also obtained.

Results

It was determined that the thrombocyte, erythrocyte and leukocyte values from the hematologic parameters increased after exercise (p < 0.05). According to the results, there were significant differences (p < 0.05) between the pretest apelin level (2090.75 pg/mg) and the apelin levels taken after swimming M 200 m (4260.43 pg/mg) and after swimming L 400 m (3694.4 pg/mg).

Conclusions

The different exercise loads had significant effects on the hematologic parameters and apelin values in the swimmers. The study also determined the relationships between swimming exercises and aerobic and anaerobic capacity and BMI.
Wissensbestände / „archivi del sapere“ der Frühen Neuzeit. Juristisch-theologische Debatten im 16./17. Jahrhundert
Authors: De Benedictis Angela , Schorn-Schütte Luise
Published: February 2019

Wandel in der Frühen Neuzeit lässt sich vor allem in Umbruchphasen als Rückbesinnung auf Ordnungen identifizieren, die von den Zeitgenossen als Wiederherstellung guter Traditionen charakterisiert wurden. Mit Hilfe der Identifizierung von sprachlichen Argumentationsmustern – politisch-theologische Sprachen – kann dieser Vorgang für das europäische 16./17. Jahrhundert analysiert werden. Dabei wird deutlich, dass gerade in den Debatten des konfessionell gespaltenen Europa eine gemeinsame Wissensbasis (Wissensbestände / „archivi del sapere“) aktiviert wurde, die jenseits konfessioneller Gegensätze als Legitimationsbasis Geltung besaß. Am Beispiel der europäischen Debatten über das Recht der Notwehr/Gegenwehr werden diese Wissensbestände skizziert, die Trägergruppen und Argumentationskontexte beschrieben. Das „Gewissen“ wird als differenzierendes Argument der Notwehrdebatte seit dem ausgehenden 16. Jahrhundert in die europäischen Wissensbestände aufgenommen. Das Fazit der Analyse lautet: Trotz konfessioneller Gegensätze bleibt eine einheitliche Wissensbasis bestehen. Das beruht aber nicht darauf, dass das bisher stets als überkonfessionell/wesenhaft charakterisierte Recht dominierte, sondern darauf, dass theologische Wissensbestände das Recht transformieren/übersetzen konnten und sich sodann als Teil der „archivi del sapere“ etablierten.
Die Ungeduld mit der Zeit. Britische und deutsche Bahnpassagiere im Eisenbahnzeitalter
Authors: Zimmer Oliver
Published: February 2019

Die historische Zeitforschung neigt dazu, die Potenziale der modernen Zeitkultur mit ihrer Praxis gleichzusetzen. Neue Möglichkeiten, was die Reisegeschwindigkeit von Zügen, die Synchronisation von Bahnhofsuhren oder die Regulierung der Bewegungen des reisenden Publikums betrifft, definieren das Zeitbewusstsein und die Zeitverwendung einer Epoche jedoch nur unvollständig. Gerade beim Umgang mit der Zeit bleiben orts- und kontextspezifische Alltagserfahrungen von entscheidender Bedeutung. Diese These wird im vorliegenden Beitrag am Beispiel britischer und deutscher Eisenbahnpassagiere entwickelt. Mit der zunehmenden Beschleunigung und Verdichtung des Eisenbahnverkehrs stieg das Risiko von Verspätungen – und zwar unabhängig davon, ob die Betreiber (wie in Großbritannien) private Gesellschaften oder (wie in Deutschland nach der Reichsgründung mehrheitlich) Staatsbetriebe waren. Und gleichzeitig verringerte sich im auf Pünktlichkeit getrimmten Eisenbahnzeitalter die Wartebereitschaft der Menschen. Ungeduldiges Warten war nicht primär Ausdruck nationaler kultureller Eigenschaften, sondern eine Begleiterscheinung der Beschleuningung und Verdichtung des Verkehrs, wobei auch in diesem Bereich der Modernisierung nicht von einer einfachen Ursache-Wirkung-Beziehung auszugehen ist: Sozioökonomischer und technologischer Wandel und Veränderungen der öffentlichen Erwartungen und Wahrnehmungen beeinflussten sich bei diesem Vorgang gegenseitig. Mit ihrer Ungeduld brachten Einsenbahnpassagiere ihre Enttäuschung über das Versprechen einer berechen- und damit kontrollierbaren Moderne zum Ausdruck. Als weitverbreitetes Gefühl wurde Ungeduld zum Signum der modernen Zeit. Bis zum Beginn des letzten Drittels des 19. Jahrhunderts legten britische Bahnpassagiere deutlich mehr Ungeduld an den Tag als deutsche. Diese Differenz verringerte sich jedoch um 1900 spürbar. Nun entpuppte sich die Ungeduld mit der Zeit auch in Deutschland als Folge und Ferment einer Zeitkultur, die das Leben viel umfassender prägte, als es manchen lieb war.
Das Ende Österreich-Ungarns im Ersten Weltkrieg. Akteure, Öffentlichkeiten, Kontingenzen
Authors: Cattaruzza Marina
Published: February 2019

Die in der Geschichtsschreibung zum Ersten Weltkrieg häufig vernachlässigte Rolle Italiens beim Zusammenbruch des habsburgischen Reiches steht im Zentrum dieser Abhandlung. Erörtert werden auch die Alternativen zum Weltkriegsende, die in den Monaten September 1917 bis Januar 1918 bestanden hatten. Erst nach der Entscheidung der Entente, auf das Selbstbestimmungsrecht der Nationalitäten im Habsburgerreich zu setzen, waren diese Alternativen nicht mehr praktikabel. Nach ihnen zu fragen hilft, der Vergangenheit ihre Zukunft zurückzugeben. Wie ernsthaft solche Alternativen erwogen wurden, macht das britische Kriegskabinett deutlich, das im Spätsommer 1917, als die Zukunft Russlands völlig ungewiss schien, befand, der Krieg könnte unmöglich mit einem vollen Sieg der Entente enden. Deshalb wurden die Sondierungen mit Österreich um einen Separatfrieden intensiviert. Die Lage der Entente verschlechterte sich noch nach der italienischen Niederlage im Oktober 1917 und durch die Friedensverhandlungen zwischen den russischen Bolschewiki und den Mittelmächten. In dieser brisanten Lage lancierten italienische Politiker, Journalisten und Intellektuelle die Losung „Selbstbestimmungsrecht für die ‚unterdrückten Nationalitäten‘“. Dies zielte auf die Auflösung Österreich-Ungarns. Sie wurde Anfang April 1918 in Rom von der Entente in Anwesenheit von Vertretern der „unterdrückten Nationalitäten“ feierlich angekündigt. Italien spielte zweimal eine bedeutende Rolle im Krieg: Als es nach dem Ausscheiden Russlands und Rumäniens weiter Österreich-Ungarns Truppen an der italienischen Front band, die somit nicht für die entscheidende deutsche Offensive an der Westfront zur Verfügung standen, und als es mit Erfolg die Auflösung der Habsburgermonarchie betrieb.
Effects of Metal Ion Addition on Acetic Acid Removal by Saccharomyces cerevisiae during Lychee Wine Fermentation

Published: February 2019

Acetic acid (AA) is the main component of the volatile acidity of lychee wine. It can be generated by yeast, contaminated lactic acid, and AA bacteria at any time during lychee wine fermentation. AA has a negative impact on yeast fermentative performance and affects the quality of lychee wine when present above a given concentration. Thus, excessive amounts of AA should be removed to control the quality of lychee wine. This study investigated the effects of supplementing lychee juice with different concentrations of metal (magnesium, potassium, and calcium) ions on AA removal during lychee wine fermentation at 20 °C. All treatments of metal ion addition negatively affected yeast growth. The addition of either magnesium or potassium ions decreased the AA content, and the lowest values were attained with the addition of 4 mM magnesium ions and 6 mM potassium ions. By contrast, the addition of calcium ions increased the AA content. The addition of metal ions significantly affected metabolites, because more succinic acid, more malic acid, more glycerol, and less acetaldehyde were produced with increasing activities of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, acetyl-CoA synthetase, isocitrate lyase, and malate synthase. Moreover, the addition of metal ions significantly modified the aroma components of deacidified lychee wine. These findings offer insight into the mechanism of yeast utilization of AA and suggest that selectively adding metal ions may be used a tool to modulate the AA content of lychee wine.
Effect of Pretreatment Methods on the Moisture State and Drying Quality of Balsam Pear (Momordica charantia L.) Slices Using a Microwave Vibratory Fluidized Bed
Authors: Lv Hao , Ma Jiwei , Lv Weiqiao , Lv Huangzhen , Zhao Dan , Zhao Donglin
Published: February 2019

In order to improve the uniformity of microwave absorption and obtain good drying quality, a vibratory fluidized bed was used during the microwave drying of balsam pear slices. The temperature distribution of the materials during drying is discussed. The water state and drying quality of the balsam pear slices with blanching, ultrasonic, and superheated steam pretreatment were measured using low-field nuclear magnetic resonance and scanning electron microscopy. As a result, the drying uniformity of balsam pear slices was improved, and the drying temperature decreased more than 10 °C using the microwave vibratory fluidized bed. By using an ultrasonic pretreatment step, the activity of the water molecules was improved, and the drying time was reduced by 10 min, but the product was discolored during drying. Blanching and superheated steam pretreatment did not improve the activity of water molecules, but the product color changes were minimal and drying time was reduced by 20 min. The microstructure of dehydrated balsam pear slices was destructed seriously caused by this heat–moist pretreatment. Therefore, a variety of pretreatments should be integrated for the comprehensive control of the processing characteristics, such as enzyme deactivation and improving water activity, to further improve the drying efficiency and quality of balsam pear slices.

Published: February 2019

Background

Fenugreek seeds have shown antinociceptive effect in animal studies. This double-blind placebo controlled trial was designed to study the effect of fenugreek transdermal patch 10% (FDP) for management of inguinal hernia (IH) post-operative pain.

Methods

Standardized extract of fenugreek seeds was used for FDP formulation. Ninety patients treated with 10% FDP, diclofenac dermal patch 1% (DP) and placebo twice daily after IH surgery. The pain intensity score was evaluated using a visual analogue score (VAS) up to 48 h after operation. Morphine consumption and diclofenac suppository demand were evaluated too.

Results

The pain score was significantly reduced in FDP group in comparison with the placebo group. This effect was also significantly different from DP up to 6 h after surgery (p<0.05). Morphine consumption and diclofenc suppository demand were significantly decreased in FDP group (p<0.05).

Conclusion

In all, results of the present study indicated that FDP decreases pain score and demand for morphine in post-surgery patients in comparison to diclofenac patch, and this preparation could be a suit option as a natural antinociceptive agent for pain management.

For this aim, irreversibility and performance analyses are firstly performed for five main engine components at ≈260 kN maximum take-off thrust force. Besides, overall efficiency of the turbofan is determined to be 33 %, while propulsive and thermal efficiency of the turbofan are 72 % and 46 % respectively at 0.8 M and 288.15 K flight conditions. Secondly, calculation component-based exergetic assessment is carried out using exergetic indicators. According to the calculation, the exergetic efficiency of the engine is 32 %, while its waste exergy ratio is 0.678. Furthermore, exergetic sustainability measure is obtained as 0.473, while enviromental effect factor is 2.112. These indicators are also anticipated to help comprehend the connection between engine performance parameters and worldwide dimensions such as environmental effect and sustainable growth.
The Sociology of Law and Global Sociology

Dieser Artikel verwendet eine in der historischen Rechtssoziologie wurzelnde Perspektive, um eine neue Deutung der Entstehung des modernen demokratischen politischen Systems vorzustellen und Prozesse der politischen Institutionenbildung in der gegenwärtigen globalen Gesellschaft zu erläutern. Der Artikel vertritt die These, dass die Differenzierung des modernen politischen Systems ursprünglich durch legitimatorische Zwänge innerhalb des Rechtssystems ausgelöst wurde, so dass das politische System anfänglich als interner Bestandteil des Rechtsystems entstand. Das politische System nahm eine entschieden demokratische Form an, als in den Revolutionen des ausgehenden achtzehnten Jahrhunderts die legitimatorischen Funktionen des Rechtssystems mit dem Militärsystem verbunden wurden. Infolgedessen entwickelte sich das demokratische politische System als eine Art Kopplung zwischen Recht und Heerwesen, und es war ständig auf hoch militarisierte, zutiefst destabilisierende Mechanismen der Legitimationserzeugung angewiesen. Demokratie wurde deshalb nie zu einer völlig stabilen nationalen Herrschaftsform. Die Antinomien der modernen Demokratie wurden erst durch den Aufstieg der globalen Menschenrechtsordnung überwunden, die das nationale politische System in das Rechtssystem wieder integrierte, die Verantwortung für Produktion von Legitimität vom nationalen Staatsbürger auf ein System globaler Rechtsnormen übertrug, und eine Reihe von funktionalen Äquivalenten zu nationalen Prozessen der politischen Mobilisierung herstellte.

Recent developments in concrete research have considered the possible advantages related to the use of seawater as mixing water for concrete production. Specifically, the SEACON-INFRAVATION project investigated the performance of seawater concrete for the construction of sustainable and durable reinforced concrete structures. Besides laboratory activities aimed at characterizing the performance of seawater concrete and corrosion behavior of various types of embedded reinforcements, a demonstration project was executed in Italy. The prototype consisted of a concrete culvert built along the A1 motorway, close to the city of Piacenza, Italy. The demonstration activities led to testing of the on-site use of seawater and assessment of the corrosion conditions of the embedded reinforcements, allowing a thorough understanding of long-term durability and sustainability. For this purpose, the prototype culvert was divided into six segments; each segment was representative of a combination of type of concrete (reference, seawater, and recycled-asphalt-pavement concrete) and type of reinforcement (carbon steel, austenitic and duplex stainless steels, and glass fiber–reinforced polymer). This article presents concrete mix designs, materials characterization, embedded probes used to monitor the corrosion of the reinforcements, and test results obtained at various stages of execution and service conditions. In addition, a sampling campaign, one year from construction, is included. Finally, mention is made of the life cycle assessment and life cycle cost analyses performed to quantify the long-term benefits of seawater concrete combined with corrosion-resistant reinforcement.

Published: February 2019

Introduction. The definition of brain health and the best method of promoting optimal brain health is an American Heart Association/American Stroke Association initiative. Intact cognitive function is important following an ischemic stroke for successful rehabilitation. Therefore having a simple metric of cognitive function would be optimal for all health professionals.Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate if using Developmental Sentence Scoring (DSS) on sentences written by patients on a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) could provide a simple metric of cognitive function.Material and Methods. This secondary analysis reports on sentences written by patients after an ischemic stroke using quantitative and conventional content analysis methods.Results. A mean score of 24.38 (SD±13, range 9–30) was found in the 76 patients who had written something in the course of the Folstein MMSE. The number of words ranged from 1 to 16 with the greatest number (21) averaging 5 words. The DSS ranged from 0–11 with a mean of 4. The mean Folstein MMSE (N=30), was 27.53 (SD±2.74, range 18–30) in patients who consented to a home visit 3 years after their stroke. Twenty seven of the 30 patients had written something and the number of words ranged from 1 to 12 with the greatest number (10) averaging 5 words. The DSS ranged from 0–12 with a mean of 4. Conventional content analysis revealed an overarching pattern articulated in two ways: (1) Awareness of recent space and time and remote memories of people and place (2) Expression of the self as person.Conclusions. This secondary analysis provides normative data and a rich description of cognitive function in a group of individuals describing the DSS at baseline and again at 3 years after stroke but the sample was too small to be able to provide a simple metric of cognitive function.

Objective

Up to 40% of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) patients may have adrenal cortical tumors. However, adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is rare. The clinical manifestations, prevalence, inheritance and prognosis of ACC associated with MEN1 remain unclear. Here we report the clinical manifestations and prevalence of ACC in patients with MEN1.

Design and methods

A retrospective analysis of ACC associated with MEN1 patients at a single tertiary care center from December 2001 to June 2017. Genetic analysis ofMEN1and other ACC associated genes, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) ofMEN1locus, immunohistochemistry staining of menin, P53 and β-catenin in ACC tissue were performed.

Results

Two related patients had ACC associated with MEN1. The father had ENSAT stage IV tumor with excessive production of cortisol; the daughter had nonfunctional ENSAT stage I tumor. Both patients carried novel germline heterozygous mutation (c.400_401insC) ofMEN1. The wild-typeMEN1allele was lost in the resected ACC tissue from the daughter with no menin staining. The ACC tissue had nuclear β-catenin staining, with heterozygousCTNNB1mutation of 357del24 and P53 staining in only 20% cells.

Conclusions

ACC associated with MEN1 is rare and may occur in familial aggregates.

The objective of this study was to determine the aromatic profile of red wines obtained from Rubin, Storgozia, Bouquet, Trapezitsa, Kaylashky Rubin and Pinot Noir varieties from the region of Central Northern Bulgaria. First five varieties are hybrids selected in the Institute of Viticulture and Enology (IVE). Pinot Noir was used for control. GC-FID study for determination of the aromatic profile of red wines from proposed varieties was conducted. Twenty four volatile compounds were identified: 9 esters, 8 higher alcohols, 1 aldehyde, 5 terpene alcohols. The presence of methyl alcohol in all wines were found. Its concentrations were normal for red wines. The highest total content of volatile compounds was found in the wine from Kailashky Rubin variety (693.97 mg.dm-3). The ester fraction was dominated by ethyl acetate. The highest total ester content was found in the wine from Pinot Noir variety (204.08 mg.dm-3). It was followed by the wine from Bouquet variety (195.75 mg.dm-3). Acetaldehyde was the major established aldehyde. It was found in the largest quantity in the wine from Trapezitsa variety (87.44 mg.dm-3). 2-methyl-1-butanol (active amyl alcohol) and 3-methyl-1-butanol (isoamyl alcohol) were found in the highest content from the higher alcohols fraction. The highest total content of higher alcohols was found in the wine from Rubin variety (379.38 mg.dm-3). Five terpene alcohols were identified in the wines. Geraniol was presented in all examined wines. An extensive aromatic characterization by gas chromatographic analysis of red wines obtained from grapevine varieties selected in the Republic of Bulgaria was carried out. The research proves that the red wines obtained in the conditions of Central Northern Bulgaria were characterized by a complex aromatic composition due to the presence of different esters, higher alcohols and terpenes.

Zinc is an essential trace element, which plays important roles in different biological activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of zinc on rabbit spermatozoa during in vitro conditions. Fresh semen was obtained from 8 sexually mature New Zealand White rabbits, which were bred at National Agricultural and Food Centre in Lužianky. Experimental groups were prepared by diluting the semen with two forms of zinc (ZnCl2, ZnSO4 .7 H2O) in five different concentration: ZA, ZA1 (4.883 mg Zn.l-1), ZB, ZB1 (9.766 mg Zn.l-1), ZC, ZC1 (19.531 mg Zn.l-1), ZD, ZD1 (39.063 mg Zn.l-1), ZE, ZE1 (78.125 mg Zn.l-1). Experimental samples were compared against control groups (ZK, ZK1). Semen was evaluated using the Computer Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA) at time intervals 0, 60, 120 and 180 minutes after incubation at 39°C. MTT test was used for determination of cell viability. Results of monitored motility parameters (motility, progressive motility and velocity curved line) showed decreasing trend in experimental samples. Significantly lower values of motility were observed in sample ZE, where percentage of motility decreased to 9.18±1.34% and after 180 minutes of incubation.

Esters of thiosulfoacids demonstrate a wide range of biological activity. One of their effects is the influence on the metabolism of proteins and lipids in the body. Therefore, the purpose of our experiment was to study the impact of synthesized thiosulfonates on the total content of proteins and phospholipids, as well as their spectrum in the blood, liver, and kidney of rats. For the experiment, allyl, ethyl, and methyl esters of thiosulfoacid were used. The protein profile of rat tissues was investigated by electrophoresis, and the ratio of different fractions of phospholipids by thin-layer chromatography. Our results have shown that short-term administration of thiosulfonates in a dose of 300 mg/kg of body weight did not cause significant changes in the content of total protein and its fractions in liver tissue, whereas the effect of allyl and ethyl esters of thiosulfoacid was accompanied by an increase in the total protein and albumin in the blood plasma. The decrease in total protein was found in the kidney tissue of rats injected with allyl- and methyl thiosulfonates. The newly synthesized compounds did not lead to significant changes in the total content of phospholipids in blood plasma and tissues of rats, except for methyl thiosulfonate, the effect of which was accompanied by an increase in the total phospholipids in the liver of rats. These data may indicate an adaptive reaction of the rat’s organism. Tissue-specific features of the phospholipid spectrum were detected in rats after short-term exposure to thiosulfonates. The most significant effect on the phospholipid profile in the blood was shown for allyl- and ethyl esters of thiosulfoacid. Their action was accompanied by a decrease in the phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylinositol fractions, while phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine increased, respectively. Esters of thiosulfoacid significantly influenced the ratio of different fractions of phospholipids in the liver and kidney tissues. The phospholipid composition of the liver was more influenced by the allyl and methyl esters of thiosulfoacid, whereas for the kidney tissue a greater effect was observed for ethyl and methyl esters. Thus, the action of allyl ester of thiosulfoacid caused a decrease in the asymmetry coefficient of hepatocyte membranes, indicating an elevation of the lipid bilayer saturation and the increase of membrane microviscosity. Similar changes were found in the kidney of rats treated with allyl- and ethyl thiosulfonates.
