title: Rediscovery and redescription of Entoniscus creplinii Giard and Bonnier, 1887 (Isopoda: Bopyroidea: Entoniscidae) parasitizing Polyonyx gibbesi Haig, 1956 (Decapoda: Anomura: Porcellanidae), a symbiotic crab from the tubes of Chaetopterus cf. variopedatus (Annelida), from North Carolina and Florida, U. S. A.

description: Abstract The porcellanid crab Polyonyx gibbesi Haig, 1956, an obligate symbiont of Chaetopterus cf. variopedatus (Renier, 1804) in the western Atlantic, is parasitized by a rare entoniscid isopod. Crabs from coastal North Carolina and Florida, U.S.A., were dissected and examined for this internal parasite in 1966 and 1967. Two of 83 crabs (2.4 %) and 3 of 100 (3.0 %) crabs from North Carolina and Florida, respectively, were parasitized. Only female parasites were found, including five immature and three mature specimens; one host was parasitized by three immature entonicisds simultaneously. One of the mature parasites was liberating epicaridium larvae and the others had developing eggs or larvae. Parasitized female crabs were all ovigerous; the parasites did not castrate the hosts. The parasite is identified as Entoniscus creplinii Giard and Bonnier, 1887, previously known only from Brazil, and the female is redescribed.

title: Natural evolution of perforating wounds of 30% extension of the left diaphragm and the anatomopathological characteristics of its healing. Experimental Study

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: diaphragmatic injury is a challenge for surgeons. It is an injury that can be isolated. It is frequent in penetrating thoracoabdominal trauma. It represents a diagnostic challenge and the ideal approach is not yet well established. The occurrence of spontaneous healing of these injuries is still much discussed and even more, if it does, what is the healing mechanism? Objective: to macroscopically and histologically evaluate the natural evolution of perforation and cutting wounds equivalent to 30% of the left diaphragm. Method: 50 specimens of rats underwent a surgical procedure and, after 30 days, were euthanized and those that presented scar tissue in the diaphragm, the samples were submitted to histopathological study, using the hematoxylin and eosin stains, Massons trichrome and Picrosirius to assess the presence of collagen or muscle fibers (hyperplasia) in the scar. Results: it was found that healing occurred in diaphragmatic injuries in 90% of rats. We also observed the presence of fibrosis in all analyzed samples. Conclusion: Spontaneous healing occurred in most diaphragmatic injuries and the inflammatory reaction represented by the presence of fibrosis and collagen deposition was observed in all our samples. Muscle fiber hyperplasia did not occur.

title: Effect of Moisture, Particle Size and Thermal Processing of Feeds on Broiler Production

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed at assessing the effect of pelleted and expanded maize-based feeds prepared with different moisture levels (ML, 0.8 and 1.6%) particle size (PS, 650 and 850µ) of ingredients on metabolizable energy, ileal digestibility of amino acids and broiler performance. A total of 720 one-day-old male broiler chicks of the Cobb strain were used. The experiment was performed over a period of 40d (days) and birds received water and feed ad libitum. From 10 to 13d higher AMEn values were obtained for birds fed expanded feeds with 1.6% ML and 850µ PS. Higher values AMEn were encountered when adding 0.8% ML in pellet feeds with 850µ or 1.6%ML/650µ PS. Expanded and pelleted diets with 1.6% ML (independent of PS, 650 or 850µ) presented higher amino acid digestibility. For diets with 0.8% of ML, better result for the digestibility of amino acids were obtained with PS 650µ for expanded and 850µ for pelleted diets. Higher weight gain was observed in broilers fed diets with 1.6% moisture at 21 and 40d. Feed conversion was improved by adding 1.6% ML only at 21d. Regarding carcass characteristics, expanded diets combined with PS of 650µ led to a higher accumulation of abdominal fat. The birds fed expanded diets at 1.6% moisture had higher breast yields. We concluded that to increase the use of nutrients, EMAn and broiler performance, it is recommended that pelleted diets be prepared with the addition of 1.6% water to the mixer and a particle size of 850µ.

title: Acutely applied melatonin prevents CCl4-induced testicular lesions in rats: the involvement of the oxidative capacity and arginine metabolism

description: Abstract Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) represents an organic chemical that causes reactive oxygen species derived organ disturbances including male infertility. Melatonin (MLT) is a neurohormone with strong antioxidant capacity, involved in numerous physiological processes. In this study we evaluated the capability of MLT, administered in a single dose of 50 mg/kg, to preserve the testicular tissue function after an acute administration of CCl4 to rats. The disturbance in testicular tissue and the effects of MLT after CCl4 exposure were estimated using biochemical parameters that enabled us to determine the tissue (anti)oxidant status and the intensity of arginine/nitric oxide metabolism. Also, the serum levels of testosterone and the histopathological analysis of tissue gave us a better insight into the occurring changes. A significant diminution in tissue antioxidant defences, arginase activity and serum testosterone levels, followed by the increased production of nitric oxide and extensive lipid and protein oxidative damage, was observed in the CCl4-treated group. The application of MLT after the CCl4 caused changes, clearly visible at both biochemical and histological level, which could be interpreted mainly as a consequence of general antioxidant system stimulation and a radical scavenger. On the other hand, the application of MLT exerted a limited action on the nitric oxide signalling pathway.

title: Occurrence of dravitic tourmaline in a diamond-bearing breccia: a possible lamproite deposit in the Alto Paranaíba Igneous Province

description: Abstract The mineral chemistry of diamond indicator minerals is used to trace mineralizations in primary rocks such as lamproites/kimberlites and in secondary deposits. Subcalcic garnets and magnesian ilmenites are both minerals associated with the diamond potential described in many deposits in the Alto Paranaíba Igneous Province where several kimberlitic pipes and alluvial deposits occur. Our study was conducted on the Romaria diamond deposit of (Brazil), where garnet, ilmenite and tourmaline grains were recovered from a diamon-bearing breccia were analyzed under electron microprobe. The garnet composition is compatible with G10, G9 and G5 types. Ilmenite grains are Mg- to Mn-rich. Nearly 80% of the tourmaline grains are dravite-type. This association of dravite tourmaline with diamond in rocks of lamproitic affinity may be common, as evidenced in the Argyle, Ellendale, Prairie Creek, Sask, Presidente Olegário and Ymi-1 pipes. We therefore suggest a possible lamproite origin for the studied diamond deposit.

title: Suppressive activity of RGX-365 on HMGB1-mediated septic responses

description: Abstract RGX-365 is the main fraction of black ginseng conmprising protopanaxatriol (PPT)-type rare ginsenosides (ginsenosides Rg4, Rg6, Rh4, Rh1, and Rg2). No studies on the antiseptic activity of RGX-365 have been reported. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is recognized as a late mediator of sepsis, and the inhibition of HMGB1 release and recovery of vascular barrier integrity have emerged as attractive therapeutic strategies for the management of sepsis. In this study, we examined the effects of RGX-365 on HMGB1-mediated septic responses and survival rate in a mouse sepsis model. RGX-365 was administered to the mice after HMGB1 challenge. The antiseptic activity of RGX-365 was assessed based on the production of HMGB1, measurement of permeability, and septic mouse mortality using a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis mouse model and HMGB1-activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). We found that RGX-365 significantly reduced HMGB1 release from LPS- activated HUVECs and CLP-induced release of HMGB1 in mice. RGX-365 also restored HMGB1-mediated vascular disruption and inhibited hyperpermeability in the mice. In addition, treatment with RGX-365 reduced sepsis-related mortality in vivo. Our results suggest that RGX- 365 reduces HMGB1 release and septic mortality in vivo, indicating that it is useful in the treatment of sepsis.

title: Changes in management accounting rules and routines in merger and acquisition operations,

description: ABSTRACT This study aims to understand the process of changes in management accounting rules and routines in merger and acquisition operations. The case provides empirical evidence on the post-acquisition context and the process of changes in management accounting in acquired companies, considering that the acquiring company tends to interfere through the coercive introduction of new management control systems. The research adds empirical evidence on the role of organizational principles established by the acquirer in the process of changes in the rules and routines in an acquired company. A change in management accounting is a complex process that involves the interaction of elements inside and outside organizations to promote organizational efficiency. The research evidence corroborates the literature by finding that changes in management accounting are motivated by the search for economic efficiency in acquired companies. However, the success of the change in rules and routines depends on various institutional elements that involve organizations, such as the coercive nature of the change driven by the new owners. The research is descriptive in nature and uses a qualitative approach, adopting a case study in a ceramic tiles company that underwent an acquisition operation. The acquisition operation brought a new philosophy of individual performance optimization that drove the institutionalization of the performance evaluation system in the acquired company. The new system was configured as a formal management accounting artifact focused on the individual. The results provide contributions for organizations, managers, and consultants that wish to implement management accounting artifacts in acquired companies by highlighting relevant elements from the institutional field and field of action for the management accounting change process.

title: Classifying coefficients of genetic variation and heritability for Eucalyptus spp.

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to establish classification ranges for genetic and additive genetic coefficients of variation, as well as for broad and narrow sense heritability, as a function of growth and wood quality traits for Eucalyptus spp. We conducted statistical analyses to determine differences in this classification the types of coefficients used. The selected studies that met the inclusion criteria, 58 presented genetic variation coefficients (448 data points) and 53 presented heritability coefficients (423 data points). To descriptive statistics and the Shapiro-Wilk test, we confirmed that it was necessary to separate coefficients and traits into groups. Inconsistencies for growth traits were observed, confirming the influence of experimental error, indirect estimation methods, and environmental effects on coefficient estimates. We recommend the use of the classification tables included in this literature review to interpret results in studies so as to standardize the classification of coefficients of genetic variation and heritability.
