Actinopterygii, Siluriformes, Callichthyidae, Hoplosternum littorale (Hancock, 1828): distribution extension in the upper São Francisco River region, southeast Brazil
Authors: Salvador-Jr. Luiz Fernando , Silva Fabiano De Andrade
Published: December 2016

The tamoatá Hoplosternum littorale (Hancock, 1828) is an alien catfish to the São Francisco River basin. Although it has been registered along all of this hydrological system’s extension, including the segment located upstream of the Três Marias dam, up to now the species had not yet been detected in the Pará River sub-basin. Between the 19th and 28th of October 2009, 27 specimens were collected in this drainage system; over half of them captured in a highly polluted artificial reservoir. The results of the present study reinforce that the implementation of reservoirs and the pollution of the continental waters favor not only the expansion, but also the establishment of non-native teleosts with opportunist habits.
First record of Ceratium Schrank, 1973 (Dinophyceae: Ceratiaceae) in freshwater ecosystems in the semiarid region of Brazil
Authors: Oliveira Helton Soriano Bezerra de , Moura Ariadne Do Nascimento , Cordeiro-Araújo Micheline Kézia
Published: December 2016

This paper reports the first record of the genus Ceratium Schrank, 1973 in six freshwater ecosystems in the semiarid region of Brazil. From 2006 to 2010, 1176 samples were collected from 98 different sites using conical-cylindrical plankton nets with a 25 μm mesh size. Twenty individuals from each sample were measured for the obtainment of the morphological measurements. A 25% NaClO solution was used for the clarification of the cells and visualization of the plates. The appearance of this genus in such ecosystems is likely related to climatic and hydrological changes in the region.

Authors: São-Pedro Vinícius De Avelar , Feio Renato Neves
Published: December 2016

This study provides for the first time a detailed list of anuran species from Serra do Ouro Branco, southernmost Espinhaço Mountain Range, state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. We present data from monthly field surveys made between 2006 and 2007 and data from sporadic surveys conducted between 2003 and 2006. We recorded 47 species, corresponding so far to one of the highest frog richness known for a single location in Minas Gerais. We recorded typical species from the Atlantic Forest (19) and Cerrado (6) morphoclimatic domains; species restricted to the Espinhaço Range (8); or opened areas in mountainous regions (4); and widely distributed species (10). The Serra do Ouro Branco corresponds to the southernmost record of six species, besides holding important populations of other species with restricted geographic distributions. The high richness of frog species and the actual threats to which species are subject make the adoption of conservation measures in the region an emergency action.

Authors: Iswanto Bambang , Imron Imron , Marnis Huria , Suprapto Rommy
Published: December 2016

Genetic improvement of the African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in Indonesia for increasing growth performance has been conducted by Research Institute for Fish Breeding at Sukamandi through mass selection. Collection and characterizations of the founder populations, building the synthetic base population, first generation and second generation through mass selection were conducted during 2010-2013. Later, in 2014 it was followed by building the third generation. The present study aimed to find out the genetic gain in the third generation in term of response to selection for body weight. Fifty-two pairs of the selected (fast growing) individuals from the second generation were mated to produce the third generation. As a comparison, five pairs of average-sized individuals were mated to produce the control population, as a second generation representative. Larval rearing, nursery and grow-out phases were respectively held for 25 days in the aquaria, 30 days in the concrete ponds and 60 days in the concrete ponds. At the end of each phase, individual samplings of body weight were undertaken. The results showed that mean body weight of the third generation was higher than that of control population at the end of larval rearing phase (0.21 ± 0.26 g versus 0.20 ± 0.15 g), nursery phase (6.12 ± 2.93 g versus 5.80 ± 3.50 g) and grow-out phase (198.67 ± 82.82 g versus 165.22 ± 71.09 g). Those results revealed that response to selection for body weight of the third generation was positive, i.e. about 20.24% (33.45 g).
INDUCTION OF GONADAL MATURATION OF POND CULTURED MALE TIGER SHRIMP, Penaeus monodon WITH DIFFERENT DOSAGES OF GONADOTROPIN RELEASING HORMONE ANALOGUE AGAINST EYE STALK ABLATION
Authors: Laining Asda , Usman Usman , Syah Rachman
Published: December 2016

Very low naturally mating rate of pond-reared tiger shrimp broodstock is probably due to the slow maturation of the male stock. The aim of this study was to evaluate the salmon gonadotrophin releasing hormone analoque (sGnRHa) in stimulating the gonadal maturation of male stock of pond-reared tiger shrimp. The treatments were three dosages of sGnRHa at 0.1 (OV-1), 0.2 (OV-2), and 0.3 (OV-3) mL/kg of shrimp weight and control was eye stalk ablation (AB). The sGnRHa was administered via injection three times with one week interval. Male stocks with average initial body weight of 82.1 g were randomly distributed into four of 10 m3 concrete tanks, 26 males for each tank. Variables observed were performances of spermatophores and profiles of amino acid and fatty acid of muscle of the male stocks. After induction, number of male maturing indicated by spermatophores releasing from terminal ampullas was higher in shrimp induced with OV-1 (80.8%) compared to control which was only 46.1%. Furthermore, shrimp treated OV-2 had the highest spermatophore weight of 0.16 g compared to control (0.11 g) and other two groups. Amino acid profiles improved as the dose of sGnRHa increased up to 0.2 mL/kg from 61.23% for ablated male becoming 71.27% for OV-2. Total fatty acid also tended to improve by increasing the dose of hormone injection, however, the ablated male had higher total fatty acid content than that of OV-1. The present finding demonstrated that the dose of sGnRHa to stimulate the gonadal maturation of pond-reared male tiger shrimp could be applied at range between 0.1-0.2 mL/kg of shrimp weight.

Published: December 2016

Koi Herpesvirus (KHV) is a malignant virus infecting the goldfish and koi in all stadia and cause mortality up to 95%. The purpose of this study was to determine the potency and efficacy of inactivated-vaccine in addition with adjuvant against KHV in koi fish. The viral propagation was done using a KF-1 cell line in 25 cm3 flask. The cultured virus was harvested on 12 days post inoculation, and then the harvested virus was inactivated with 0.1% formalin as inactivated-vaccine. Three hundred of test fish (10.38 ± 1.25 g) maintained in 126 L of plastic containers with aeration, and fed with pellets twice a day. After 14 days of adaptation, the fish were divided into five treatments (A= vaccine; B= vaccine + Complete Freund’s Adjuvant; C= vaccine + Incomplete Freund’s Adjuvant; K+= positive control, and K-= negative control) and each treatment has four replicates. Vaccine was given by injecting intramuscularly of 0.1 mL per fish. All fish were challenged by injecting intramuscularly of 0.1 mL of KHV virus with concentration of 104.58 TCID50/mL after 21 days post vaccination. The results showed that the B treatment had higher (P<0.05) values of hematocrit level, lysozyme activity, and titer of antibody compared with positive control. In addition, the survival of fish in B treatment also had the highest percentages and significantly different compared to other treatments (P<0.05). The conclusion of this research was the application of inactivated KHV vaccine in 0.1% formalin with the addition of Complete Freund’s Adjuvant through the injection dose 0.1 mL fish-1 in 104.58 TCID50/mL capable to enhance the immune responses and raised the optimal protection of KHV antibody in koi fish.

Published: December 2016

Elevated plasma levels of the osteocyte-derived hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) have emerged as a powerful biomarker of cardiovascular disease and death in patients with CKD. Whether elevated urinary or plasma FGF23 levels are prospectively associated with AKI and death in critically ill patients is unknown. We therefore conducted a prospective cohort study of 350 critically ill patients admitted to intensive care units at an academic medical center to investigate whether higher urinary FGF23 levels associate with the composite end point of AKI or in-hospital mortality (AKI/death). We measured urinary FGF23 levels within 24 hours of admission to the intensive care unit. In a subcohort (n=131) we also measured plasma levels of FGF23, calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D metabolites. Urinary and plasma FGF23 levels, but not other mineral metabolites, significantly associated with AKI/death. In multivariate analyses, patients in the highest compared with the lowest quartile of urinary FGF23 had a 3.9 greater odds (95% confidence interval, 1.6 to 9.5) of AKI/death. Higher urinary FGF23 levels also independently associated with greater hospital, 90-day, and 1-year mortality; longer length of stay; and several other important adverse outcomes. In conclusion, elevated FGF23 levels measured in the urine or plasma may be a promising novel biomarker of AKI, death, and other adverse outcomes in critically ill patients.
Diversification of Cell Lineages in Ureter Development

Published: December 2016

The mammalian ureter consists of a mesenchymal wall composed of smooth muscle cells and surrounding fibrocytes of the tunica adventitia and the lamina propria and an inner epithelial lining composed of layers of basal, intermediate, and superficial cells. How these cell types arise from multipotent progenitors is poorly understood. Here, we performed marker analysis, cell proliferation assays, and genetic lineage tracing to define the lineage relations and restrictions of the mesenchymal and epithelial cell types in the developing and mature mouse ureter. At embryonic day (E) 12.5, the mesenchymal precursor pool began to subdivide into an inner and outer compartment that began to express markers of smooth muscle precursors and adventitial fibrocytes, respectively, by E13.5. Smooth muscle precursors further diversified into lamina propria cells directly adjacent to the ureteric epithelium and differentiated smooth muscle cells from E16.5 onwards. Uncommitted epithelial progenitors of the ureter differentiated into intermediate cells at E14.5. After stratification into two layers at E15.5 and three cell layers at E18.5, intermediate cells differentiated into basal cells and superficial cells. In homeostasis, proliferation of all epithelial and mesenchymal cell types remained low but intermediate cells still gave rise to basal cells, whereas basal cells divided only into basal cells. These studies provide a framework to further determine the molecular mechanisms of cell differentiation in the tissues of the developing ureter.

Published: December 2016

INTRODUCTION: The frailty syndrome is a complex condition that permeates the life of the elderly, with the decrease of the homeostatic reserve of the organism and loss of resistance to the stressors, caused as results of many factors, but mainly by sarcopenia. Such syndrome makes the elderly vulnerable to illness and may lead to terminal stages of life if there is no adequate treatment. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of the factors related to the frailty phenotype in the occurrence of this in participants of groups of coexistence and health promotion of the city of Santa Cruz/RN. METHOD: This is a descriptive, associative and transversal of quantitative approach study with 60 elderly. The socioeconomic condition and the fragility phenotype was evaluated. RESULTS: the mean age of the sample was 66.1 years (SD=5.08). Most of them (53.3%) are in the age group of 60-69 years, does not have a partner (63.4%) and are illiterate (58.3%). In the mentioned morbidity, 42 (70%) reported some morbidity and hypertension was more prevalent in the sample (53.3%), followed by diabetes (20%) and osteoporosis (18.3%). Four elderly were fragile, forty-nine were pre-fragile and seven were non-fragile. There was a significant correlation in unintentional loss of weight (0.017), exhaustion (<0.001) and slowness in gait (<0.001) in the occurrence of pre-frailty. CONCLUSION: the prevalence of pre-frailty indicators in the investigated groups indicates warning signs so that actions more strongly linked to the prevention of this aggravation become a priority in the planning of the undertaken interventions in groups. Participation in social groups has a protective effect in the prevention of frailty in the elderly.

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus affects current society, and is associated with overweight and obesity. Physical exercise has been showing favorable results in the anthropometric parameters and in the gain of joint flexibility and body mobility in these individuals. Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the interference of an exercise program in anthropometric measures, flexibility and body mobility in type 2 diabetics. Method: This is a longitudinal study, performed with 14 type 2 diabetic patients, with a mean age of 55± 9 years, both genders, separated in aerobic group (n=8) and resistance group (n=6). The body mass index, waist circumference, abdominal circumference, hip circumference, waist-hip ratio, fat percentage, limp-femoral flexibility and body mobility were assessed before and after a 10-week period of aerobic or resistance exercises with a weekly frequency of 3 days. Results: For the analysis of the results, it was applied the paired t test (pre x post exercise) and independent t test (aerobic group x resistance group) with significance level of 5%. No significant differences were found in the anthropometric variables in both groups after the 10-week period of supervised training. In relation to the body mobility test, we observed a significant difference in the total sample (p=0.02), in the aerobic group (p=0.02) and in the resistance group (p=0.04). The coxofemoral flexibility test showed significant improvement (p=0.02) in the total sample and clinical improvement in aerobic (p=0.12) and resistance (p=0.09) groups. Conclusion: Both aerobic and resistance training provided positive effects in the coxofemoral flexibility and body mobility tests. In contrast, there was no significant improvement in anthropometric variables after 10 weeks of physical exercise.

Introduction: The alignment between anterior superior and inferior posterior iliac spine is related to the lumbar curvature in the sagittal plane. Objective: To characterize the flexibility and angulations of the lumbar spine and the relation with the pelvic tilt in sagittal plane of preschool children. Methods: Participated in the study 138 children with ages ranging from five to six years and enrolled in eight public schools. The evaluation was performed by photogrammetry, pelvic sagittal balance test and limb stretching by fleximeter and Thomas test. Results: There was no difference in the lumbar angle with relation to gender, body mass and age. With regard to pelvic sagittal balance, the majority of preschoolers presented pelvic retroversion (56.6%). Children with pelvic anteversion (4.3%) presented a lower lumbar angle, indicating hyperlordosis. Children with pelvic sagittal balance presented better flexibility of the hamstring muscles than those with the pelvis in retroversion and anteversion. Conclusion: Flexibility was greatest in girls and in five-year-old children. The angle of the lumbar was 24.07°. The pelvis was retroversed in most children, differing from expected for the age group. The lowest angle of the lumbar region corresponded to a pelvis in anteroversion and balanced.

Authors: Barbalho Matheus de Siqueira Mendes , Moraes Paulo Henrique
Published: December 2016

Introduction: The Gua Sha technique is a method from the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), having its origins in the prehistory, where they had the habit of rubbing their bodies to relieve symptoms of pain. The term “gua” means to scrape, brush, scratch and the term “Sha” has a more complex meaning such as sand or dirt. In China, this technique was and still is very used by the peasants. Gua Sha’s great effects exist by its simultaneous action on the skin, in the connective tissues, in the lymphatic system, in the muscles, blood vessels and the internal organs. Objectives: To verify the Gua Sha technique’s (western view) use in the flexibility recovering of sedentary men. Methods: This study had as sample three men with average of 28,66± years, height of 176cm+=9,29, weight of 100,3kgs±15,05. At first, the study was conducted through the patient’s anamnesis, besides the checking if the patients didn’t have any limitation to perform the evaluation tests. Then, the individuals were submitted to the gua sha technique’s treatment in all their posterior chain, only in one session. Results: After the treatment session using the Gua Sha, the patient’s improvement was notorious. Analyzing the data that shows one gain in about 330 of the lumbar back’s amplitude evaluated by the goniometry and flexibility, through the fingertip-to-floor test, in a short treatment time. In the fingertip-to-floor test, the patients were classified with reduced flexibility, because they stayed more than 10 cm away from the ground, after the technique’s use all patients were classified as having regular flexibility, since they touched the third finger on the floor. Discussion: The Gua Sha technique is very used in the eastern culture for muscular and breathing pains, so this article demonstrates one more accomplishment of the technique, the flexibility gain with satisfactory results, an important factor was the use of only one series obtaining these results, becoming one more technique to add to a combined treatment, aiming the patient’s improvement. Conclusion: This way we conclude that the Gua Sha technique is an excellent tool for the myofascial induction, for the gain of muscular mobility and flexibility of the posterior chain in a short period of treatment time.

Introduction: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the causes that usually result in mobility limitations in the economically active population due to musculo-skeletal disorders. It has, as main symptoms, pain and disability and should be seen as a public health problem. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the Functional Disability (FD) and pain intensity in patients with CLBP, underwent to manipulative therapy and conventional physiotherapy at Getulio Vargas Hospital. Method: This was a randomized trial study with a control group, with a sample, participants with CLBP, who were divided into two groups: those who underwent manipulative physiotherapy (group 1) and those who underwent conventional therapy (group 2), and the both groups were subjected to two treatments at different times. The program lasted five weeks, and 2 weeks for each intervention, performing two weekly sessions, which average duration was 30 minutes and one week interval between treatments. There were collected sociodemographic data, data related to FD using the Disability questionnaire Roland-Morris (RMDQ) and data related to pain intensity using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: The study included 14 patients with mean age of 51 + 9 years. They showed significant improvement in RMDQ (p <0.001) and VAS (p <0.001), after being subjected to manipulative group, also showing a significant treatment effect over conventional treatment in both RMDQ (p = 0.004) and EVA (p = 0.006). Conclusion: Through this study, it can be shown that patients with CLBP showed significant improvements in functional capacity, by reducing the FD and reduction of painful symptoms, after being subjected to a five-week-program of manipulative physiotherapy.
Lateralities and asymmetries of the orthostatic posture
Authors: Helbert Serge
Published: December 2016

Man’s body has a large number of asymmetries, some are in relation with regulation of the tonic postural activity, we generally namethem asymmetries of the orthostatic posture and others are in relation with phenomena of cortical lateralization, we sometimes namethem gestural asymmetries. The correlation between these two types of asymmetries is a controversial subject. And actually this studypresents facts that are incoherent: either the correlation is very strong or very low between these two types of corporal asymmetries.A possible signification of these inconsistencies is discussed which seems to highlight the role of the vision.

Introduction: Alterations in foot landing position have often been associated with the appearance of deformities in lower limbs. However, there are no studies that prove the relationship between these two variables in healthy individuals. Objective: To investigate the relation between changes in feet and lower limbs by plantigraphy and computerized photogrammetry. Methods: The study included 70 young adults, 42 women (height: 1.60±0.01 m; body weight: 58.0±0.92 kg; body mass index: 22.0±0.31 kg/m2 ) and 28 men (height: 1.70±0.01 m; body weight: 70.0±1.4 kg; body mass index: 23.0±0.42 kg/m2 ) with mean age of 21.62±2.0 and 22.18±2.09 years, respectively. Plantigraphy of both feet and photographic capture in the anterior frontal plane of lower limbs and foot, posterior frontal of the tendon of the calcaneus and in the sagittal plane of lower limbs were performed. Results: A strong positive correlation was observed between the Chippaux-Smirak and the Staheli indexes (Men– r: 0.863 and p<0.001; Women– r: 0.973 and p<0.001) and a weak positive correlation between the malleolar angle and the Cavanagh-Rodgers index (Men– r: 0.386 and p 0.003; Women– r: 0.280 and p 0.010). Conclusion: There was no correlation between footprint indexes and lower limb angles measured by computerized photogrammetry.

Introduction: There are few studies that propose to identify the relations of the spinal manipulation on the pain and the mobility of the shoulder, especially in injuries of the rotator cuff. Objective: To analyze the effect of spinal manipulation on shoulder pain and range of motion in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy. Method: Quasi-experimental study with quantitative approach. The sample consisted of volunteers aged between 20 and 70 years, presenting pain for at least 6 months, with Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy (RCT). An evaluation form composed of the identification data was applied. Subsequently, the following evaluations were performed: kinetic-functional, pain through the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Range of Motion (ROM) of the shoulder (flexion and abduction) using the goniometer. After the evaluations, the spinal manipulation (“Crossed Pisiform”) was performed on the thoracic spine, and then ROM and pain were evaluated. Statistical analysis showed the normality of the data by the Shapiro-Wilk test, comparing the effect of pre and post manipulation. A paired t-test was applied, adopting significance level of 5%. Results: Pain after spinal manipulation presented a significant reduction (p=0,019). The flexion movement after manipulation showed an increase in ROM in the shoulder with injury, but not significant (p=0,058), and for the abduction movement a significant increase was registered in both the shoulder with injury (p=0,01) and without injury (p=0,03). Conclusion: After spinal manipulation it was possible to verify decrease of shoulder pain as well as increase of shoulder ROM with and without injury in the abduction movement.
