Diagnostic Performance of 18F-FDG PET/CT Semiquantitative Analysis in the Management of Sarcoidosis
Authors: Rubini Giuseppe , Ferrari Cristina , Altini Corinna , Cimino Alessandra , Fanelli Margherita , Niccoli Asabella Artor 
Published: May 2018

Background:
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown origin
characterized by nonspecific clinical symptomatology. 18F-FDG PET/CT can visualize activated
inflammatory cells of sarcoidosis and simultaneously provide whole-body images.
</P><P>
Objective: To evaluate the clinical usefulness of 18F-FDG PET/CT and its semiquantitative parameters
for the assessment of treatment efficacy in patients with sarcoidosis.

Methods:
Thirty-one consecutive patients who performed 18F-FDG PET/CT for sarcoidosis assessment
were selected. All subjects performed 18F-FDG PET/CT before any treatment (PET1) and
after 6-12 months (PET2). SUVmax and SUVmean on PET1 and PET2 were collected. SUVs values
were employed to evaluate the ratios with the liver (R-LIVERmax, R-LIVERmean) and the
blood (R-BLOODmax, R-BLOODmean). The difference between the PET1 and PET2 values was
evaluated (&#916;SUVmax, &#916;SUVmean, &#916;R-LIVERmax, &#916;R-LIVERmean, &#916;R-BLOODmax, &#916;R-BLOODmean).
Patients were classified as Responders (R), Partial-Responders (PR) and Non-
Responders (NR).

Results:
Seventeen patients (54.8%) had a complete metabolic response (R), 4 (12.9%) were PR
while 10 (32.3%) had no Metabolic Response (NR). The chi-square test showed that response
groups were related neither to the stage of disease (p=0.59) nor to therapy performed (p<0.079).
The comparison between each &#916; semiquantitative parameter showed a statistically significant decrease
from PET1 to PET2 (0.0001 < p < 0.002). The comparison between &#916; mean values in relation
to response groups showed to be statistically significant (0.001 < p < 0.005). Conversely, they did not
show statistical significance in relation to the clinical stage groups and to the kind of therapy performed
(p>0.05). Pearson’s coefficient demonstrated a reverse correlation between a number of
sites still involved in disease after therapy and each &#916; semiquantitative parameters (p&#8804;0.0001).

Conclusion:
18F-FDG PET/CT should be considered a useful technique for the evaluation of sarcoidosis
and semiquantitative parameters. Further studies are needed to determine the long-term
impact of 18F-FDG PET/CT on clinical outcomes.
The Neural Tract Between the Hypothalamus and Basal Forebrain in the Ascending Reticular Activating System: A Diffusion Tensor Tractography Study
Authors: Jang Sung Ho , Kwon Hyeok Gyu 
Published: May 2018

<P>Objective: Ascending Reticular Activating System (ARAS) has a key role in consciousness.
The ARAS is a complex network consisting of a portion of the brainstem reticular formation,
nonspecific thalamic nuclei, hypothalamus, Basal Forebrain (BF), and cerebral cortex. We examined
the reconstruction method and features of the neural tract between the hypothalamus and the
BF in normal subjects, using Diffusion Tensor Tractography (DTT).

Methods:
Twenty-three healthy subjects were recruited. The ARAS between the hypothalamus and
the BF was reconstructed by two Regions of Interest (ROIs): 1) seed ROI - the isolated green portion
for the BF on the color map, 2) target ROI - the hypothalamus on the axial image. DTT parameters
of the ARAS between the hypothalamus and the BF were examined.

Results:
Among 46 hemispheres in 23 normal subjects, 24 hemispheres (52.2 %) were identified in
the ARAS between the hypothalamus and the BF. The reconstructed ARAS between the hypothalamus
and the BF connected from the hypothalamus to the commissural level and anteriorly
through the anterior commissure and then reached the BF.

Conclusion:
Using DTT, the ARAS between the hypothalamus and the BF was identified in normal
subjects. Because the hypothalamus and BF are related to the regulation of wakefulness and
sleep, our reconstruction method and results would be useful in the research on sleep and wakefulness
aspects of consciousness.</P>
Facile and Fast Detection of Genistein in Derris scandens by Square Wave Voltammetry using a Cobalt(II) Phthalocyanine-Modified Screen-Printed Electrochemical Sensor
Authors: Traipop Surinya , Chuanuwatanakul Suchada , Chailapakul Orawon , Punrat Eakkasit 
Published: May 2018

Background:
Recently, Derris scandens, a Thai herbal medicine with anti-inflammatory
activity, is widely used as beverage and supplementary food. When the traditional medicine is a
choice for health therapy, the simple and reliable equipment is required to control the suitable consuming
amount of the active component.

Objective:
To develop the electrochemical sensor for genistein determination in Derris scandens with
high sensitivity and rapid operation.

Methods:
An in-house screen-printed electrochemical sensor consisting of a three-electrode system
was developed for genistein determination. A silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) reference electrode, a
carbon counter electrode and a carbon working electrode were prepared on a 0.3-mm-thick plastic
substrate by the screen-printing technique using conductive ink. The dimensions of each sensor were
2.5×1.0 cm. Only 50 µL of sample solution was required on this device for the determination of
genistein concentration by rapid response square wave voltammetry.

Results:
The oxidation peak of genistein appeared with good response in acidic media at a peak potential
of 0.6 V. Moreover, the signal was enhanced by modifying the conductive carbon ink with cobalt(
II) phthalocyanine. Under the optimized conditions, the linear range was found to be 2.5-150 µM
and the detection limit was 1.5 µM. Moreover, the small volume extraction was successfully developed
without any further pre-concentration. This proposed method was applied to determine genistein
in Derris scandens with satisfying results.

Conclusion:
The proposed method is promising as an alternative method for genistein determination
with facile and fast analysis.
Joint Voltammetry Technology with a Multi-electrode Array for Four Basic Tastes
Authors: Lu Lin , Hu Xianqiao , Zhu Zhiwei 
Published: May 2018

Background:
Rapid and easy technology which can mimic the tongue for the simultaneous
perception of several tastes based on sensory analysis and mathematical statistics is sorely needed.

Methods:
Joint voltammetry technology was developed to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze
four basic tastes namely sweetness, saltiness, sourness and bitterness with the multi-electrode array.
Four taste stimuli were corresponded to four tastes. Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Differential Pulse
Voltammetry (DPV) and Square Wave Voltammetry (SWV) were employed. The original voltammetric
signals were transformed by Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) in order to reveal more feature
information for sensing taste stimuli. Joint voltammetry was applied via the combination of voltammetry.
The data of feature points from the transformed signal as the input were used for neural network model.

Results:
Layer-Recurrent neural network (LRNN) could effectively identify the types of stimuli. The
accuracies of the training set and test set by joint voltammetry were both higher than that of regular
voltammetry, confirming that Back Propagation neural network (BPNN) could quantitatively predict
single taste stimulus of the mixture.

Conclusion:
Joint voltammetry technology had a strong ability to sense basic tastes as human tongue.

JOVENS EVANGÉLICOS E REPRESENTAÇÕES POLÍTICO-RELIGIOSAS NA CAMPANHA ELEITORAL DE 2012 EM CAMPO MOURÃO, PARANÁ
Authors: Antonio Mezzomo Frank , Satiê de Oliveira Pátaro Cristina , Serafim Thais , Paula Andressa 
Published: May 2018

No presente artigo, busca-se analisar as representações de jovens evangélicos quanto às esferas da religião e da política, problematizando as dinâmicas que envolvem as articulações entre os dois campos. Foram entrevistados vinte e quatro jovens evangélicos vinculados à Igreja Assembleia de Deus, Igreja Presbiteriana Renovada, Igreja do Evangelho Quadrangular e Igreja Universal
do Reino de Deus, por ocasião das eleições proporcionais ocorridas em 2012 no município de Campo Mourão, Paraná. Os resultados indicam que, para os jovens, a religião apresenta-se como um caminho para a relação com Deus, enquanto a política é encarada com certo ceticismo, tendo em vista a imoralidade, a corrupção e a defesa de interesses corporativistas que marcam o cenário atual. As relações
entre política e religião são encaradas por uns como uma chance de salvação para a política contemporânea, e por outros como dois campos distantes demais para se articularem.

SANTA GIANNA DEFENSORA DA VIDA: UMA LEITURA FENOMENOLÓGICO-CULTURAL DA EXPERIÊNCIA DO MILAGRE
Authors: Ricardo Soares Hugo , Slompo Pinto Flávia 
Published: May 2018

Partindo do relato etnográfico sobre a pregação testemunhal de uma
devota da santa italiana Gianna Beretta Molla, num evento da Renovação Carismática Católica, no qual ela narra sua experiência miraculosa na relação com essa santa, o objetivo deste texto é pensar essa experiência tendo como ponto de partida a somatização dos efeitos da cura e a narrativa que traduz essa experiência para um público específico. Para tanto, baseamo-nos na noção fenomenológica de
“corporeidade” elaborada por Merleau-Ponty e desenvolvida por Thomas Csordas. A ideia é compreender como é estabelecida a relação de homologia entre duas biografias (a da devota e a da santa) a partir dessa experiência corporificada e da insetersubjetividade que se estabelece entre elas.
