title: Functional performance indicators associated with hypertension in older people

description: Abstract Introduction During aging, changes occur in the human body that increase the probability of arterial hypertension which can potentiate deleterious effects on functional performance. Objective To analyze the association of functional performance indicators with hypertension in older people. Methods An epidemiological, population-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted with 209 older adults (58.40% women). Functional performance was assessed by the following tests: handgrip strength; chair stand test; arm curl test; timed up and go (TUG); sit and reach test; and step in place test (SPT). Diagnosis of arterial hypertension was self-reported. Results The prevalence of hypertension was found to be 58.90% (males: 51.70%; females: 63.90%). It was also observed that the hypertensive individuals of both sexes had worse performance in SPT and TUG (p &lt; 0.05). Furthermore, it was found that each additional second for TUG increased by 11% the probability of hypertension in men (PR:1.11; 95%CI: 1.03-1.20) and by 7% in women (PR: 1.07; 95%CI: 1.04-1.12), while each step performed in the SPT decreased the probability for the outcome by 2% (men and women = PR: 0.98; 95%CI: 0.97-0.99). Conclusion TUG was found to be positively associated with hypertension, while SPT was inversely associated with hypertension.

title: Companies and Dictatorship, the Other Side: Economic Groups Persecuted by the Brazilian Civil-Military Regime: The case of Contractors

description: Abstract Thisarticle analyzes the relationship between companies and the Brazilian dictatorship established after the 1964 coup d’état. Instead of focusing on the more common instances of support, partnership, and leverage between economic groups and the regime, we examine companies which were persecuted and penalized by state actions following the coup. To support our approach, we draw on a range of sources, including memoirs, testimonies, official documents, and press materials from the period. Building on Dreifuss’ insights and recent historiography, we argue that the 1964 coup d’état and the subsequent dictatorship had a class character, marked by significant participation and responsibility of the business community. In the first part of the article, we examine well-known cases, such as Panair, TV Excelsior and the newspapers Correio da Manhã and Última Hora. We then turn to lesser-studied cases involving public works contractors who suffered decline due to political reasons after the 1964 coup d’état. We conclude that, more than simple actions of an authoritarian state against economic groups, the cases we analyze suggest competition between companies and state action in favor of some to the detriment of others.

title: Federal and White. National Formations and Party Political Identities in the River Plate Region during the López Jordán Revolution of 1870

description: Abstract This article investigates the political party identities in the River Plate region in the second half of the 19th century, when national states where formed. It analyzes López Jordán’s revolution in Entre Ríos and starts from the verification that the opposing sides in it took the names of the Uruguayan parties “white” and “colorado”, although in coexistence with other oppositions: “federal / unitario” and “entrerriano / porteño”. Despite the long-standing ties between the sides of Uruguay River and the connection of the White Party with the Federal Party, it was not until 1870 when - through the names - that identity seemed to merge. It is argued that the political events in Uruguay in the 1860s and their particular impact on Entre Rios politics, together with the crisis of the Federal Party after Pavón’s defeat, explain this chronology.

title: Diagnostic potential of Type VII Collagen during oral carcinogenesis

description: Abstract Type VII collagen (Col7) is a major component of anchoring fibrils. Col7 plays a role in tumor development and aggressiveness of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. However, the role of Col7 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and oral leukoplakia (OL) remains largely unknown. Objective To elucidate the role of Col7 and its diagnostic potential during oral carcinogenesis. Methodology Col7 expression was immunohistochemically studied in 254 samples, including normal oral mucosa (NM), OL without dysplasia, OL with dysplasia, and OSCC. The correlation between Col7 expression and clinicopathologic parameters of OSCC was also determined. Results Col7 was present as a linear deposit at the basement membrane of NM, OL without dysplasia and OL with dysplasia, and at the tumor-stromal junction around tumor islands in OSCC. Discontinuity of expression was frequently observed in OL with dysplasia and OSCC. OSCC had the significantly lowest Col7 expression (p&lt;0.0001). Compared with OL without dysplasia, OL with dysplasia showed significantly reduced Col7 expression. Patients in clinical stage 4 with positive nodes had low Col7 expression compared with those in clinical stage 1 and negative nodes, respectively. Conclusion Loss of Col7 is associated with tumorigenesis and aggressiveness in OSCC. A significantly reduced Col7 expression in OSCC implies that Col7 may be a useful marker for diagnosis and therapeutic targets.

title: Seasonality, dispersal modes, and optimal germination times modulate the fruiting of tropical tree species

description: Abstract We investigated the associations of seasonality, dispersal modes and seed germination speeds with the fruiting of Clusia nemorosa, Pleroma fissinervium, and Vochysia pyramidalis in a gallery forest, Chapada Diamantina, Brazil. Observations of mature fruits with dispersing seeds were carried out from 2003 to 2006. Cross-correlation and circular statistics were performed to test the relationships among fruiting and abiotic factors, and phenological seasonality. Dispersion syndromes were defined and germination experiments were performed after seed collection (n =100/species), using four replicates. The species evidenced seasonal fruiting. Clusia nemorosa produced zoochoric seeds and V. pyramidalis anemochoric seeds, which were dispersed during the rainy season and positively correlated with precipitation; P. fissinervium produced autochoric seeds, released during the dry season to early rainy season, being positively correlated with insolation and negatively with humidity. The rotating wing seeds of V. pyramidalis were released in the rainy season and aided floating in watercourses, characterizing hydrochory. Clusia nemorosa and V. pyramidalis germinated (2-6 days) more rapidly than P. fissinervium (9 days). Seasonality, dispersal modes, and optimal germination conditions modulated the fruiting of the species examined, whose reproductive strategies responded to environmental drivers such as precipitation, favoring germination during the rainy season.

title: Applicability of [18F]FDG/PET for investigating rosmarinic acid preconditioning efficacy in a global stroke model in mice

description: ABSTRACT Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive nuclear imaging technique that uses radiotracers to track cell activity. The radiopharmaceutical 18F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose ([18F] FDG) is most commonly used in nuclear medicine for the diagnosis of various diseases, including stroke. A stroke is a serious condition with high mortality and morbidity rates. Rosmarinic acid (RA) is a promising therapeutic agent that exerts neuroprotective effects against various neurological diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the applicability of [18F]FDG/PET for investigating the neuroprotective effects of RA in case of a global stroke model in mice. The [18F]FDG/PET technique facilitates the observation of ischemia and reperfusion injuries in the brain. Moreover, the recovery of glucose metabolism in three specific brain regions, the striatum, superior colliculus, and inferior colliculus, was observed after preconditioning with RA. It was concluded that the [18F]FDG/PET technique may be useful for stroke diagnosis and the assessment of treatment response. In addition, a long-term longitudinal study using biochemical analysis in conjunction with functional imaging may provide further conclusive results regarding the effect of RA on cerebral ischemia.

title: Selectivity of soil constituents by termites in the construction of Brazilian termite mounds

description: ABSTRACT Termites can create structures that alter the physical and chemical properties of soils. In this process, termites are selective about the soil constituents they will use to construct their mounds. Considering the common occurrence of termite mounds in Brazilian soils, this study aimed to investigate the selective action of termites in the mound building process. Samples were collected from six termite mounds and control soils (at a distance of 15 to 30 m from the termite mound) in different regions in Brazil to analyze the fine earth fraction. The content of clay fraction, organic C and Fe in pedogenic iron oxides increased in the mounds resulting in specific surface area increments. X-ray diffraction indicated a selectivity of termites by clay-sized particles such as kaolinite, gibbsite and iron oxides (hematite and goethite) rather than larger particles such as quartz. The proportion of low-crystalline iron oxides and the maghemite amount decreased in the mounds. The change of color parameters in the termite mounds was due to a combination of increase in clay fraction, organic carbon and iron oxides. The techniques used were sensitive, indicating changes and similarities between the control soils and the termite mounds.

title: Preservation of phenolic compounds on dried leaf infusion of Bauhinia forficata Link

description: Abstract Bauhinia forficata Link aqueous extract is usually recommended as a phytomedicine to reduce blood glucose levels and its biological activity has been linked to the presence of phenolic compounds from B. forficata preparations. Several drying processes are used in the production of dry herbal extracts, which may influence the chemical composition and efficacy of final herbal medicines. Due to significant chemical changes, defining appropriate drying processes is essential for phytopharmaceutical drug development. In view of this, we analyzed dried B. forficata leaf infusion (BFLI) extracts by HPLC-UV-MSn, followed by molecular networking analysis to evaluate the chemical profiles from dried extracts yielded by freeze-and spray-drying processes. The main metabolites detected included 11 ferulic/isoferulic acid derivatives and 13 glycosylated flavonoids. The qualitative chemical profiles were alike for both drying processes, whereas the relative abundance of some flavonoids was higher using spray-drying. Taken together, our results showed that freeze-and spray-drying preserved the phenolic profile of BFLI and suggested that spray-drying may be the most suitable to obtain its dried products. Along with studying the chemical profiles of dried herbal extracts, evaluating the influence of drying processes on the quality and chemical profiles of final products is pivotal and may benefit future research.
