title: Feeding value of grass fertilized marandu or intercropped with peanut and carcass characteristics of beef cattle under rotational grazing

description: AbstractThe objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition of the pasture Brachiaria Brizantha intercropped with peanut or fertilized with N and carcass characteristics of beef cattle. The pasture was managed under rotational grazing with stocking continues, with variable stocking, using 16 Nellore bulls. In the evaluation of dry matter production total green significance was observed between treatments and periods evaluated, and treatment consortium presented a higher average. The variable crude protein showed significance between treatments and periods. The NDT and FDN had no significant effect on the evaluation of the grass. Periods had lower ADG were the 4th and 6th periods. For the PB, FDN and NDT legume 3rd period showed the lowest averages. For variables GMD, NAD, GPC showed statistical significance for the interaction, and the 1st treatment period consortium submitted the highest averages. In the treatment of the largest fertilizer stocking rates were achieved in stations where chemical fertilization occurred. Statistical significance was observed for the variable conformation carcass classification. The consortium forage peanut cv. Belmonte may be using to replace fertilization with 120kg / N / ha, as it ensures even weight gain per animal, without changing the commercial carcass traits.

title: Use of Cardboard Disks for Crowning Seedlings in Reforestation

description: ABSTRACT The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of chemopreventive or water-repellent substances on the durability of cardboard disks used to crown forest tree species. The experiment presented a randomized block design with four repetitions and four sampling times (63, 133, 260 and 365 days) and was installed in Seropedica, RJ, in an area with Urochloa humidicola . Bamboo poles were used to simulate seedlings in the field and define the position of the experimental units. The treatments consisted of in natura cardboard, or treated with CuSO4 solution, pinus shellac, CuSO4 + pinus shellac, CuSO 4 + Sika®, pinus shellac + Sika®, and a second control with manual crowning. The cardboard crowning was effective at suppressing grass growth over all periods evaluated, independent of the treatment. After a year in the field, the cardboard disks treated with CuSO4 solution presented higher physical integrity with only 25% mass loss, against 60% mass loss in the control. The cardboard crowning also reduced soil temperature at the crown area by up to 15 °C in the 0 to 10 cm layer, in comparison with manual crowning. The results of this study indicate that the cardboard crowning method is efficient and has the potential to reduce the cost of weed control in reforestation.

title: QUALITY AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVIY OF TOMATO CULTIVATED UNDER DIFFERENT SOURCES AND DOSES OF NITROGEN

description: ABSTRACT Tomatoes are an important component of the human diet because they are rich in minerals and antioxidants that sequester free radicals in cells, preventing various disorders that affect human health. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effects of different nitrogen sources and concentrations on antioxidant capacity and physical and chemical quality of tomato fruit. The experiment was conducted in Vitória da Conquista, state of Bahia, Brazil, in the experimental field of Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia. The experimental setup included a randomized block design with four replicates in a factorial layout of 3 × 3 + 1 (control), for a total of 40 plots. The three treatments comprised different nitrogen sources (calcium nitrate, urea, and ammonium sulfate), applied in three doses (140, 280, and 420 kg ha-1). We evaluated firmness, pH, titratable acidity - TA, soluble solid - SS, SS/TA ratio, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and DPPH inhibition, were evaluated after samples were harvested. However, increasing concentrations of N adversely affected the acidity and led to an increase in the SS/TA ratio. Increasing the N concentration also reduced the content of bioactive compounds. excluding carotenoids, which consequently impaired antioxidant activity.

title: HEMODINAMIC EFFECTS OF CONTINUOUS RATE INFUSION OF BUTORPHANOL IN PROPOFOL-ANESTHETIZED DOGS

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of the total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and butorphanol in dogs. For that purpose, twenty adult healthy crossbred dogs were used. The animals were equally allocated into two groups (PG and BG) and induced to the anesthesia with intravenous propofol (10 mg/kg). After orotracheal intubation, controlled ventilation was instituted with 60% oxygen and flow of 30 mL/kg/min in a closed system, with controlled volume. The anesthetic maintenance was accomplished with propofol (0.6 mg/kg/min). The butorphanol group (BG) received, butorphanol 0.1 mg/kg IV, followed by continuous infusion (40 μg/kg/h). The placebo group (PG) received only NaCl 0.9% in bolus, followed by venous infusion, in identical volume of the BG. Baseline hemodynamic measurements were performed before opioid or saline administration (M0) and immediately after, every 15 minutes (M15 to M75). Administration of butorphanol resulted in decrease of total peripheric resistance (TPR), arterial pressures (SAP, DAP, MAP) and cardiac output (CO), without clinical relevance. The results allow us to conclude that association provides safe anesthesia for patients with ventilatory support.

title: EFFECTS OF CLONIDINE AND RILMENIDINE ON CARDIORESPIRATORY AND GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEMS OF HORSES

description: Abstract: Clonidine and rilmenidine are drugs used in human medicine as central acting antihypertensive agents due to their actions on the alpha2-adrenoceptor and I1 imidazoline receptors in the central nervous system. Currently, clonidine is also used as a pre-anesthetic medication and in spinal anesthesia, and rilmenidine, despite the lower selectivity for alpha2-adrenergic receptors than clonidine, has also shown antinociceptive potential in experimental pain models. In this study, six horses were submitted to four treatments: R1 group (0.014 mg/kg of rilmenidine); R2 group (0.021 mg/kg of rilmenidine); Clo group (0.002 mg/kg of clonidine), and a control group. The assessment comprehended their heart and respiratory rates, systolic blood pressure and intestinal motility at basal levels and, then, 60 and 120 minutes after the oral administration of the drugs. Rilmenidine decreased heart rate on the two tested doses, which did not occur in the clonidine treatment; slight variations in systolic blood pressure in all treatments and respiratory rate reduction in treatments with rilmenidine at 0.021 mg/kg and clonidine at 0.002 mg/kg were also observed. Further studies with different dosages and varied administration routes are still necessary in order to elucidate more effects of these drugs on horses.

title: Physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil under soybean cultivation and at an adjacent rainforest in Amazonia

description: Land-use change in the Amazon basin has occurred at an accelerated pace during the last decade, and it is important that the effects induced by these changes on soil properties are better understood. This study investigated the chemical, physical, and biological properties of soil in a field under cultivation of soy and rice, and at an adjacent primary rain forest. Increases in soil bulk density, exchangeable cations and pH were observed in the soy field soil. In the primary forest, soil microbial biomass and basal respiration rates were higher, and the microbial community was metabolically more efficient. The sum of basal respiration across the A, AB and BA horizons on a mass per area basis ranged from 7.31 to 10.05 Mg CO2-C ha-1yr-1, thus yielding estimates for total soil respiration between 9.6 and 15.5 Mg CO2-C ha-1yr-1across sites and seasons. These estimates are in good agreement with literature values for Amazonian ecosystems. The estimates of heterotrophic respiration made in this study help to further constrain the estimates of autotrophic soil respiration and will be useful for monitoring the effects of future land-use in Amazonian ecosystems.

title: Morse taper implant macrodesign, loading protocol and site of installation – retrospective study of 5,601 implants

description: Abstract Introduction The long-term implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation monitoring is extremely important in evaluating parameters that could interfere in the success of the treatment. Objective To evaluate the influence of macrodesign (shape of the body and apex), length and diameter, insertion torque, site of installation as well as the loading protocol, on long-term survival rates. Material and method The data obtained was from the medical records of rehabilitated patients who had had at least one Morse taper implant surgery done at ILAPEO School between 2006 -2012. Incomplete medical records, from which it would have been impossible to extract all data essential to complete the study, were excluded. Result A total of 1,142 patient’s medical records comprised the sample; documenting the progress of 5,601 implants, done in both jaws and mandibles. The final survival rate was 98.31%, over an average time of 37.54 months. The type of implant most used was cylindrical (70.33%). The mean installation torque most evidenced in the study was between 41 and 50 Ncm. A logistical regression analysis showed that none of the following variables, site of installation, body and apex shape designs and length, had any significant statistical influence on implant loss. Torque increase and diameter influenced implant loss while immediate loading favored implant maintenance. Conclusion It can be concluded that Morse taper implants present a long-term survival rate that can be lowered by excessive torque, as well as by the diameter of the implant.

title: Assessment of probiotic bacterial strains effect on S. aureus biofilm on titanium discs with treated surfaces

description: Abstract Introduction One of the main etiological factors for peri-implant diseases is the bacterial biofilm, which usually features a similar microbiota to periodontal diseases. Its treatment focus on the decontamination of the implant surface and on the mechanical removal of biofilm, and it may also be associated to the administration of antimicrobial agents. Thus, the use of probiotics has been considered, since they feature beneficial microorganisms to health and may be of great importance for the oral cavity as an adjunct for the treatment of peri-implant diseases. Objective The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the effect of probiotic strains of Lactobacillus brevis and Bifidobacterium bifidum on the growth of single-species biofilm of Staphylococcus aureus. Material and method Standardized surface-treated titanium discs were submerged in a medium containing BHI broth and Staphylococcus aureus, for 7 days. After this period, the broth was removed, the discs were washed and, then, submerged in a new BHI broth containing probiotic suspensions and compared to a control group (with no probiotics). Samples were incubated for 24 hours and then the dilutions and CFU (colony-forming units) counting for Staphylococcus aureus were performed. Result Statistical analysis revealed that the addition of both probiotics resulted in a significant reduction (p&lt;0,05) of CFU, when compared to the control group. Conclusion The assessed probiotics (Lactobacillus brevis and Bifidobacterium bifidum) considerably reduced Staphylococcus aureus growth. In addition, Lactobacillus brevis strain presented a superior inhibition effect than Bifidobacterium bifidum strain for Staphylococcus aureus bacterial biofilm control.
