Published: August 2017

Background: Previous studies have provided substantial evidence of the association of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, and its highly leukotoxic JP2 genotype, with localized aggressive periodontitis (LAgP). The present study aims to evaluate presence of JP2 in individuals with LAgP after periodontal treatment.Methods: Sixty African‐American patients with LAgP, aged 5 to 25 years, were examined. At baseline, probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing, and plaque index were measured, and subgingival plaque was collected from LAgP diseased and healthy sites for each participant. Patients received whole‐mouth ultrasonic debridement, scaling and root planing, and a 7‐day prescription of amoxicillin and metronidazole. Participants were reevaluated and resampled and received regular maintenance therapy at 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment. Polymerase chain reaction was used to detect presence of the JP2 genotype before and after treatment.Results: At baseline, the JP2 sequence was identified in 75% of LAgP diseased sites and in 56.67% of healthy sites. At 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment, the number of patients was 40, 31, and 31, respectively, and JP2 detection decreased to 17.5%, 6.45%, and 3.23%, respectively, in diseased sites (P <0.001) and to 2.5%, 3.23%, and 0%, respectively, in healthy sites (P <0.001). Clinical parameters of disease were also significantly reduced after therapy (P <0.001). Additionally, significant correlations were observed between JP2 presence and mean PD (P <0.002) and CAL (P <0.001), after therapy.Conclusion: Periodontal therapy was successful in reducing clinical parameters of LAgP and subgingival presence of JP2 in diseased and healthy sites.

AbstractBackgroundAlveolar bone is a critical tissue for tooth retention; however, once alveolar bone is lost, it may not spontaneously regenerate. Currently, bone grafts or artificial bone is commonly used for alveolar bone regeneration therapy. However, these therapies require surgical procedures, which present risks, particularly in elderly patients. Therefore, development of alveolar bone regeneration techniques that do not require surgical procedures is critical. It is well known that stem cells present in the periosteal and periodontal ligament may be induced to differentiate into osteogenic cells. This study hypothesizes that transfer of the bone morphogenetic protein‐2/7 (BMP‐2/7) gene into periodontal tissues via in vivo electroporation induces exogenous BMP production and causes stem cells in periodontal tissues to differentiate into osteogenic cells, enabling generation of new alveolar bone.MethodThe BMP‐2/7 gene expression vector was introduced via electroporation into the target site in periodontal tissues of the first molar of rat maxillae.ResultsExogenous BMP‐2 and ‐7 were detected in the target areas, and growth of new alveolar bone tissue was observed 5 days after gene transfer. On day 7, new alveolar bone tissues were found to connect to the original bone tissues. Moreover, mineral apposition rates of the alveolar bone after BMP‐2/7 gene transfer were significantly higher than those in the control group after LacZ gene transfer.ConclusionThe present findings indicate that a combination of the BMP‐2/7 non‐viral vector and in vivo electroporation represents a promising non‐surgical option for alveolar bone regeneration therapy.

Causatividad en Pima Bajo
Authors: Estrada Fernández Zarina 
Published: August 2017

This work provides an analysis of inchoative, morphological and analytical causatives in Pima Bajo, an Uto-Aztecan language spoken in Northwest Mexico. It is argued that for the analysis of these constructions it is useful not only to pay attention to the structural morphosyntactic properties, but also to functional values like, spontaneous, direct or indirect causation. All these functional values expressed in the scale: analytical-morphological-lexical causatives, proposed by Comrie (198:333). Constructions obtained from verbs selecting object complements, show that they could also be explained by considering the same kind of functional values. The scale previously mentioned, it is also useful to explained the fact that Pima Bajo doesn´t allow double object causatives. The scale makes unnecessary the Principle of Argument Density proposed by Song (1996).

Un intercambio de vocales altas en el sirionó (tupí-guaraní)
Authors: Crowhurst Megan 
Published: August 2017

Este trabalho visa a demonstrar um processo de mudança fonológica incomum e suas implicações para uma teoria de mudança lingüística como aquela proposta por Labov (1994). Concretamente, o artigo descreve a mudança diacrônica que se deu no Sirionó e no Bïa-yë, duas línguas Tupí-Guaraní faladas na região oriental da Bolívia. Em Bïa-yë as vogais *ɨ, *i, e suas contrapartes nasais, * ɨ̃ e * ĩ do Proto-Tupí, fundiram-se nas vogais / i / e / ĩ /, respetivamente. Em Sirionó, porém, a anteriorização das proto-vogais * ɨ̃ e *ɨmotivou o recuo das vogais *i, * ĩ ou seja, essas vogais intercambiram suas posições originárias.

Infection with H. pylori is an up growing public health problem that affects approximately 50% of people in industrialized nations, and up to 80% in developing countries. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection had been identified as the main causes of peptic ulcer disease (PUD). Blood group A phenotype was associated with gastric ulcer (GU) and gastric carcinoma, while blood group O phenotype found to be associated with duodenal ulcer DU predominantly; however, no explanation for this association was received. This study was conducted to, first, determine the relationship between ABO blood groups and H. pylori infection in peptic ulcer patients, and second, to study the response to the two weeks H. pylori eradication triple therapy in peptic ulcer patients carrying different blood groups. A total of 84 patients who presented with symptoms of PUD and showed positive endoscopic examination of PUD and evidence of H. pylori infection by histology and stool antigen test, were divided into four groups according to ABO blood group phenotype. All H. pylori infected patients received standard H. pylori eradication triple therapy for 14 days duration. Patients were followed up by re- endoscopic examination after 2 months of treatment course. The percentage of H. pylori infection in patients with peptic ulcer disease carrying blood group O was higher than other blood group phenotype. In H. pylori-infected peptic ulcer patients, higher incidence of gastric ulcer (GU) was noticed among blood group A carriers, while higher incidence of duodenal ulcer (DU) was found among blood group O carriers when compare with other blood group phenotypes. Fourteen days triple therapy showed lower eradication rate in H. pylori infected blood group O peptic ulcer patients, while a higher response to the standard H. pylori eradication triple therapy was found among patients with blood group B phenotype.

Published: August 2017

Background:The presence of compounds with mutagenic activity in drinking water by means of short-term mutagenicity tests have been revealed in many studies. The influence of the different water treatment steps on the mutagenicity of some drinking water samples were evaluated using the Ames test.Method:Four different types of samples were collected from four water treatment factories within Port Harcourt metropolis: raw water from borehole (1), water after sand and granular activated carbon filtration (2), water after reverse osmosis (3), and water after Ozone and UV treatment (4). These samples were subjected to mutagenicity test using two mutant strains ofSalmonella typhimurium(TA 100 and TA 98) without S9 activation enzyme.Result:The mutagenic analysis results revealed that raw water samples from Kent and Rivoli table water products showed mutagenic potential with TA100 and TA 98, respectively. But Kent table water showed more mutagenic potential than Rivoli and Fressi table water samples. Fressi table water is predominantly cytotoxic with all the treatment processes except for UV treatment with TA 98 strain. The finished products (water after ozone and UV treatment) of Kent table water and Rivoli table water also showed mutagenic potentials higher than those treated with TA100 and TA98 without S9 mix, respectively. Only the samples treated with activated carbon showed highly reduced mutagenic potential.Conclusion:This study highlights the mutagenic effects of water treatment as another quality assessment option for assessing the portability of water samples. Water treatment with activated carbon can be reintroduced after disinfection with ozone/ultraviolet to eliminate possible mutagenic by-product in the finished product.

Published: August 2017

Background:Teachers are at-risk of burnout due to continuous emotional demands. Existing research suggests that there is a strong relationship between the burnout phenomenon and teachers’ propensity to experience unpleasant emotions.Objective:The current study examined whether teachers' levels of burnout affect the process by which they appraise school-life events that elicit negative emotions.Methods:Participants were 316 school teachers. Teachers' appraisal of both students' negative emotion intensity (SAE) and their own negative emotion intensity (TAE) was evaluated via the Emotional Competence Questionnaire. Teachers' burnout levels were measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The main hypothesis was tested by using SEM to assess a full model.Results:The findings suggest that burnout compromises teachers’ appraisal of both their students’ and their own negative emotion intensity.Conclusion:We discuss how our main findings may be interpreted and explore their implications for educational settings.

Published: August 2017

Objective:We explore the relationship between gender stereotypes and North American Halloween costumes.Method (Study 1):Extending Nelson's analysis of gender-markers in mass-produced children’s Halloween costumes, Study 1 explored gender-typing in children’s costumes (n = 428), also adding a sample of adult’s costumes (n = 428) from major retailers, coding for character archetypes (heroes, villains, and fools), active-masculinity/passive-femininity, and for degree of disguise.Results (Study 1):Compared to boys’/men’s costumes, girls’/women’s costumes represented more ornamental feminine-passivity.Method (Study 2):Ornamental feminine-passivity was explored in an additional sample of baby girls’ (n = 161), child girls’ (n = 189), teen girls’ (n = 167), and women’s (n = 301) costumes, coded for character archetypes and markers of infantilization and sexualization.Results (Study 2):In addition to age differences in character archetypes, women’s costumes were most likely to be sexualized (especially heroes), girls’ and teenage young women’s costumes were most likely to combine both infantilization and sexualization, and baby girls’ costumes were least likely to incorporate either gender-markers.Conclusion:Costumes reinforce gender stereotypes differentiating boys/men and girls/women and the ways in which girls/women are stereotyped varies across the lifespan. Patterns are discussed with regard to how gender stereotypes embedded in holiday traditions reinforce messages of disempowerment for women and girls.
Autopsia de una matanza: El destino de los cuerpos femeninos muertos en Acteal (22/12/1997)
Authors: Melenotte Sabrina 
Published: August 2017

Este artículo examina el tratamiento post mortem de los cuerpos de la matanza de Acteal que aconteció el 22 de diciembre de 1997. Se retoman las controversias que surgieron a raíz, tanto de las modificaciones que se hicieron en los cadáveres que habían sido atacados con armas de fuego, como del final al que fueron “destinados” los cuerpos de cuatro mujeres embarazadas, supuestamente mutiladas. Se demuestra que las técnicas de violencia empleadas en el cuerpo femenino concretan cuestiones sociopolíticas, simbólicas y hermenéuticas, convirtiéndolo en la encarnación de la ruptura del espacio social y simbólico de los habitantes de San Pedro Chenalhó. Aquí se demuestra que el cuerpo es una “prueba” en su doble sentido (preuve y épreuve) de una violencia de género padecida por las mujeres, aunque el mensaje de ésta se dirija a los hombres.
El suplicio de Franklin Brito o la significación política de un duelo somático
Authors: Vásquez Lezama Paula 
Published: August 2017

El agricultor venezolano Franklin Brito murió confinado en un reservado de la unidad de psiquiatría del Hospital Militar de Caracas el 30 de agosto de 2010, después de haber realizado seis huelgas de hambre y haberse amputado un dedo a lo largo de sucesivas protestas que comenzaron en el 2005. Este trabajo propone el estudio del caso Brito como una forma de inteligibilidad de un contexto social y de un proceso político marcados por diferentes niveles de violencia. Este caso es una singularidad accesible a la observación que genera problemas e interrogantes sobre el uso del cuerpo en la protesta. El cuerpo es el lugar de una voz que demanda, cuestiona, protesta y desafía al poder. Mostramos de qué manera su suplicio y muerte encarnan un conflicto marcado por emociones extremas que signan a la Revolución bolivariana del presidente Hugo Chávez. Franklin Brito es un cuerpo disruptivo que aparece de manera dramática en el espacio político que va adquiriendo diferentes significados.

Background and objectives
Community-acquired infections are common, contributing to adverse outcomes and increased health care costs. We hypothesized that, with lower eGFR, the incidence of community-acquired infections increases, whereas the pattern of site-specific infections varies.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements
Among 1,139,470 health care users (mean age =52±18 years old, 53% women) from the Stockholm CREAtinine Measurements Project, we quantified the associations of eGFR with the risk of infections, overall and major types, over 12 months.

Results
A total of 106,807 counts of infections were recorded throughout 1,128,313 person-years. The incidence rate of all infections increased with lower eGFR from 74/1000 person-years for individuals with eGFR=90–104 ml/min per 1.73 m2 to 419/1000 person-years for individuals with eGFR<30 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Compared with eGFR of 90–104 ml/min per 1.73 m2, the adjusted incidence rate ratios of community-acquired infections were 1.08 (95% confidence interval, 1.01 to 1.14) for eGFR of 30–59 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and 1.53 (95% confidence interval, 1.39 to 1.69) for eGFR<30 ml/min per 1.73 m2. The relative proportions of lower respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, and sepsis became increasingly higher along with lower eGFR strata (e.g., low respiratory tract infection accounting for 25% versus 15% of community-acquired infections in eGFR<30 versus 90–104 ml/min per 1.73 m2, respectively). Differences in incidence associated with eGFR were in general consistent for most infection types, except for nervous system and upper respiratory tract infections, for which no association was observed.

Conclusions
This region-representative health care study finds an excess community-acquired infections incidence in individuals with mild to severe CKD. Lower respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, and sepsis are major infections in CKD.

As doenças transmitidas por alimentos têm grande impacto para a saúde coletiva, especialmente para populações suscetíveis como crianças e idosos. O presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar análise microbiológica de diversas preparações servidas nas três principais escolas do Médio Araguaia (MT/GO). Foram selecionadas três escolas, uma privada, uma municipal e uma cooperativa, totalizando 916 alunos. Foram realizadas análises microbiológicas dos alimentos para a contagem de coliformes fecais, bem como dos patógenos Staphylococcus aureus e Salmonella spp. Não foi constatada a presença de S. aureus nas amostras analisadas, bem como a contaminação por coliformes fecais foi extremamente baixa, dentro dos limites permitidos por normas e leis. Entretanto, a contagem de Salmonella spp foi elevada, caracterizando um problema de segurança alimentar e risco à saúde dos escolares. Além disso, foi constatada má higiene pessoal dos manipuladores de alimentos, ausência de sanitário exclusivo, utilização de panos e tábuas de madeira, bem como exposição dos gêneros alimentícios a inadequadas temperaturas de armazenamento. Concluiu-se que as condições microbiológicas dos alimentos foram satisfatórias de acordo com as normas da Anvisa, exceto para as amostras de pizza, em que houve a contaminação por Salmonella spp, indicando provável falta de higiene pessoal dos manipuladores de alimentos.
