title: Linear and nonlinear models to describe the lactation curve of Girolando cows

description: Abstract The objective of this work was to compare the main linear and nonlinear models used to describe lactation curves and to evaluate the nonlinearity of the nonlinear models, in order to obtain the most adequate model to describe the lactation curves of the Girolando breed. Data from 165 lactations of 89 3/4 Holstein + 1/4 Gyr cows were used, and average yield was calculated every 20 days up to 310 days of lactation. Seventeen models of lactation curves available in the literature were compared. The selection of the best model was based on the curvature measures of Bates & Watts, the bias of Box, adjusted coefficient of determination, Akaike’s information criterion, and residual standard deviation. The linear model of Cobuci estimated a yield peak of 16.7 kg at 40 days of lactation, whereas the nonlinear model of Wood estimated a yield peak of 16.8 kg at 41 days of lactation and a persistence of 6.82. Nonlinearity measures were the most appropriate for selecting the most suitable nonlinear model for the description of lactation curves. To describe the lactation curves of the Girolando breed, the most suitable linear model is that of Cobuci and the nonlinear model is that of Wood.

title: Topsoil physical properties under a riparian forest in Central Brazil: infiltration and penetration resistance

description: ABSTRACT Plant composition, diversity and structure of riparian forests of Central Brazil are well known. However, little is known about soil physical properties under these forests. This knowledge is important as a baseline for biodiversity restoration and ecosystem services that occur in riparian zones. In order to bridge this gap, here we assessed the infiltration capacity and soil penetration resistance in a plinthic soil under gallery forest in Planaltina, Distrito Federal, Brazil. We measured infiltration capacity (Mini-Disk infiltrometer) and soil penetration resistance (Stolf penetrometer) following linear transects. The plinthic soil had high infiltration capacity and low penetration resistance. Our infiltration estimate is in the middle range when compared to other permeability studies in tropical forests. Like their counterparts, high biological activity along with the lack of disturbance are the likely explanations for such high topsoil permeability to water.

title: External apical root resorption after orthodontic treatment: analysis in different chronological periods

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: External apical root resorption (EARR) is characterized by the definitive loss of tooth root structure, with a higher incidence in lateral and central maxillary incisors. Objective: To identify, in different chronological periods, the incidence of EARR in the maxillary incisors (MI) of patients orthodontically treated with or without premolars extraction. Methods: Periapical radiographs before and after orthodontic treatment of 1,304 MIs from 326 patients (205 women and 121 men) were evaluated for EARR, divided into five groups, according to the chronological period in which treatments were started: G90) from 1990 to 1994, G95) from 1995 to 1999, G00) from 2000 to 2004, G05) from 2005 to 2009, G10) from 2010 to 2015. The evaluation was performed in each group, in patients who underwent maxillary first premolars extraction and those who did not. For statistical analysis, Fisher’s exact test was used, with a significance level of p &lt; 0.05. The EARR was measured using the adapted Levander and Malmgren classification. Results: Incidence of EARR was higher in MIs of patients treated with maxillary premolar extraction (p &lt; 0.05) in two chronological periods (G00 and G10), also being influenced by orthodontic treatments with longer duration, and due to possible individual genetic factors. Conclusion: Even with the limitations of a retrospective study, the lack of a defined EARR pattern in the MIs at different chronological periods was larger in the experimental group, due to the sum of factors such as premolars extraction, prolonged orthodontic treatment, possible genetic characteristics, and root shape, without the influence of the sex and age.

title: Development and Evaluation of a Hydrogel containing Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng Extract for Topical Applications

description: Abstract The purpose of this research was to develop a hydrogel containing the extract of Gac fruit (Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng) with appropriate physicochemical properties and good dermatological efficacy. The Gac aril fruit was extracted by maceration in dichloromethane, and its antioxidant activity was determined through a DPPH assay. The very low water-solubility of the Gac extract is responsible for its incompatibility with the hydrogel. To overcome this drawback, LabrafacTM PG and Tween 60 were used to develop the hydrogel due to their potent potential for solubilizing the Gac extract. The prepared hydrogels displayed good physical properties, a homogenous orange gel, appropriate pH, and viscosity. After storage in an accelerated condition for six months, the hydrogels of the Gac extract had physical stability and high remaining amounts of beta-carotene and lycopene within the range of 90.25 - 94.61%. The skin efficacy of hydrogel containing the Gac fruit extract was found using 14 healthy female volunteers over a 30-day period of daily application. Topical application of the hydrogel containing the Gac fruit extract, which contains antioxidants, significantly moisturizes the skin and enhanced its elasticity (p ≤ 0.05; ANOVA). This makes it suitable for use as a skin care product.

title: The complete plastid genome of Bactris riparia (Arecaceae) and a comparative analysis in Bactridinae (Cocoseae, Arecaceae)

description: Abstract Here we sequenced and characterized the complete plastome of Bactris riparia, a species closely related to B. gasipaes and widely distributed in Western Amazonia. We performed a comparative genomic analysis with B. riparia and the other four Bactridinae species retrieved from GenBank. The plastome of B. riparia was 156,715 bp with a quadripartite structure. Gene content included 86 protein-coding genes (CDS), 38 tRNAs, and 8 rRNAs. Bactris riparia has 69 more base pairs than B. gasipaes, with identical numbers in IR, and more in LSC and SSC. The comparative analysis indicated that structure, collinearity, and IR/SSC borders of plastomes within subtribe Bactridinae are, in general, conserved. We predicted 69 SSRs in B. riparia plastome. Among them, ~80% consisted of A/T homopolymers. Among the 52 variable CDS, rbcL showed the highest non-synonymous rate, while the rps15 gene had the highest synonymous rate. Three genes (ccsA, cemA, and rpoC1) presented evidence of positive selection and 22 genes showed evidence of purifying selection. The phylogenetic tree based on plastome sequences set Bactris as more closely related to Astrocaryum than to Acrocomia. These new plastome data of B. riparia will contribute to studies about the diversity, evolutionary history, and conservation of palms.

title: DNA repair-related genes and adipogenesis: Lessons from congenital lipodystrophies

description: Abstract Classical and progeroid congenital lipodystrophies are a collection of rare diseases displaying a large genetic heterogeneity. They occur due to pathogenic variants in genes associated with adipogenesis, DNA repair pathways, and genome stability. Subjects with lipodystrophy exhibit an impairment in the homeostasis of subcutaneous white adipose tissue (sWAT), resulting in low leptin and adiponectin levels, insulin resistance (IR), diabetes, dyslipidemia, ectopic fat deposition, inflammation, mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum commitments, among others. However, how pathogenic variants in adipogenesis-related genes modulate DNA repair in some classical congenital lipodystrophies has not been elucidated. In the same way, no data is clarifying how pathogenic variants in DNA repair genes result in sWAT loss in different types of progeroid lipodystrophies. This review will concentrate on the main molecular findings to understand the link between DNA damage/repair and adipogenesis in human and animal models of congenital lipodystrophies. We will focus on classical and progeroid congenital lipodystrophies directly or indirectly related to DNA repair pathways, highlighting the role of DNA repair-related proteins in maintaining sWAT homeostasis.

title: Synopsis of the genus Brachymenium Schwägr. (Bryaceae) in Brazil.

description: ABSTRACT Bryaceae is a moss family with ten genera and 660 species worldwide. There are 54 species in four genera in Brazil. Brachymenium is the second largest genus and is characterized by the corticolous habit, erect capsules and rudimentar endostome. A revision of the genus is necessary due to the difficulty in identifying the taxa and to the poorly sampled Brazilian plants in literature. The aim of this work was to perform a taxonomic treatment of Brachymenium in Brazil, comprising diagnostic descriptions and illustrations, comments, maps and a key. Were analyzed 300 exsiccatae of Brachymenium from national and international herbaria and were recognized nine species. Five taxa were excluded from Brazil. Four species are endemic of Brazil: Brachymenium elimbatum, B. hornschuchianum, B. regnellii and B. sublinearis; another four are Neotropical: B. consimile, B. klotzschii, B. morasicum and B. radiculosum, and only one is Pantropical: B. acuminatum.

title: Association of cigarette and water-pipe smoking with increased visceral adiposity, glycemic intolerance and hematological derangement in Iraqi healthy smokers

description: Abstract The present study aims to investigate the impacts of cigarette smoking (CS) and water-pipe smoking (WPS) on the visceral adiposity index (VAI), hematological characteristics, and glycemic tolerance in Iraqi healthy smokers. A total of 528 healthy males from different locations of Baghdad city were allocated to three groups; nonsmokers (176), cigarette smokers (178), and WP smokers (174). Baseline characteristics, anthropometric and hematological markers and were reported. Glycemic control was evaluated using the glucose tolerance test. The evidence of elevated VAI, disrupted hematological markers, and impaired glucose tolerance was significantly (P&lt;0.001) different compared with non-smokers and related to the duration of smoking. The impacts of WPS seem to be significantly greater than CS in certain parameters (hemoglobin, hematocrit, methemoglobin, and 2-hour glucose tolerance values). In conclusion, CS and WPS negatively impacted body fat distribution, glucose tolerance, and hematological markers. There is a positive association between the rate of smoking and obesity, glycemic intolerance in both groups.
