title: TRANSLATION, CROSS-CULTURAL ADAPTATION AND PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF THE BRAZILIAN VERSIONOF THE PAIN CATASTROPHIZING SCALE-PARENTS

description: ABSTRACT Objective: In Brazil, there is no scale to assess parental catastrophizing about their child’s pain. This study aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Pain Catastrophizing Scale-Parents to the Brazilian Portuguese language, as well as to preliminarily evaluate its psychometric properties among parents/guardians of children with and without a toothache. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 237 parents/other relatives of 237 children. Across-cultural adaptation of the scale into Brazilian Portuguese was carried out according to the universalistic approach. To assess the reliability and validity of the scale, parents/other relatives reported on the child’s toothache and filled out the Brazilian versions of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale-Parents and the Dental Discomfort Questionnaire. Results: There was semantic equivalence with the original version after minor modifications. TheCronbach’s alpha for the 13 items of the scale was 0.83, and the respective test-retest intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.63 to 0.97. The scores obtained from the Pain Catastrophizing Scale-Parents and the Dental Discomfort Questionnaire had a low correlation (rho=0.25; p&lt;0.001). Thetotal score of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale-Parents differed significantly (p&lt;0.001) in children with a toothache at night (median: 3.0, 25-75 percentile: 25.0-35.5) compared to those who did not have a toothache at night (25.5; 20.0-31.0). Conclusions: The Brazilian version of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale-Parents was acceptable in this preliminary evaluation and can be used in Brazilian clinical and research practice.

title: Quantitation of muscle pathology abnormalities in 18 patients with mitochondrial disorders

description: ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Mitochondrial disorders can lead to the accumulation of mitochondria in muscle fibers, as indicated by ragged red (RRF) or ragged blue fibers when stained with modified Gomori trichrome or succinate dehydrogenase (SDH+), respectively, and, absence of activity of cytochrome c oxidase, COX negative fibers (COX-). The combined COX-SDH stain (COMBO+) can reveal even more COX-deficient fibers. OBJECTIVE: To quantify RRFs, SDH+, COX-, and COMBO+ fibers in muscle biopsies with mitochondrial findings. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively selected 18 muscle biopsies with mitochondrial abnormalities based on the Walker criteria (percentage of RRFs/COX- fibers, and clinical picture), and/or the Sleigh criteria (percentage of RRFs, SDH+, and COX- fibers). RESULTS: Females represented 83.3%, with a mean age of 38.6 years (5 months-70 years). Patients were diagnosed with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO, 66.7%), proximal myopathy (22.2%), idiopathic hyperCKemia (11.1%), Kearns-Sayre syndrome (5.6%), mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with ragged red fibers and stroke-like episodes (5.6%), and a dystrophic pattern (5.6%). Some cases of CPEO were combined with proximal myopathy. The quantitative pathologic findings were: RRFs, 3.95% ± 3.17%; SDH+, 7.55% ± 6.1%; COX-, 10.9% ± 7.2%; COMBO+, 14.22% ± 12.79%. We found a slight variation in the diameter of muscle fibers, no necrosis or proliferative connective tissue, few fibers with internal nuclei, and some cases with fiber type grouping. CONCLUSION: Pathologic events, grouped in ascending order of frequency, were RRFs, SDH+ fibers, COX- fibers, and COMBO+ fibers. These data emphasize the importance of the COMBO technique in revealing occult COX deficiency in muscle fibers.

title: An analysis of public-private partnership contractual incentives in Brazilian citizen service centers

description: Abstract This research uses a multiple case study approach to assess theoretical propositions from transaction costs economics, the theory of incentives, and the theory of incomplete contracts. The Poupatempo and the Unidades de Atendimento Integrado (UAI), which are two major Brazilian regional citizen service centers, were the cases selected based on an unusual opportunity: the parallel occurrence of two different arrangements of public-private partnership, applied to the same public service. Poupatempo has expanded its network of units since 2007 by building partnerships through outsourcing, whereas UAI has applied the Brazilian legal framework for public-private partnership to develop its services. This multiple case study is based on a contractual analysis that identifies the partnerships’ formal incentives and on an examination of private agents’ performance. Also, subsidiary semi-structured interviews allowed the observation of non-contractual variables.

title: Effect of observed individual data of performance and excretion on life cycle assessment of piglets

description: ABSTRACT: The objective was to evaluate the impact of producing piglets fed diets with different crude protein (CP) levels through life cycle assessment and experimental data. In Trial I (performance), 28 crossbred barrow piglets, with an initial average weight of 15.3 ± 1.15 kg were divided into a randomized block design with four treatments, seven replications and one animal per experimental unit. In Trial II (nitrogen and phosphorus balance), 20 crossbred barrow piglets with an average weight of 21.4 ± 1.62 kg were divided in a randomized block design with four treatments, five replications and one animal per experimental unit. Four experimental feeds were evaluated: HighCP, CP18, CP17 and LowCP, with 19, 18, 17 and 16 % of CP, meeting the requirements of digestible amino acids through industrial amino acid (IAA) addition. From Trial I and II data, the environmental impact was calculated for global warming potential, acidification potential, eutrophication potential, cumulative energy demand, terrestrial ecotoxicity and land occupation (LO). Total nitrogen excretion decreased by 0.226 g d−1 for each 1 g of reduction on daily nitrogen intake. However, there was no statistical difference (p &gt; 0.05) among experimental treatments for all impact categories. For LO, there was a reduction (p = 0.078) of impact with CP reduction, which was 8 % lower with the LowCP diet, in comparison with HighCP. Dietary CP reduction for piglets from 15 to 30 kg, through IAA supplementation, reduced the environmental impact under LO, considering soybean meal from southern Brazil and observed individual data of performance and excretion.

title: Molecular diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis in an endemic area of Acre State in the Amazonian Region of Brazil

description: Abstract INTRODUCTION This study proposes to identify the Leishmania species found in the skin lesions of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) patients from Brasiléia municipality (Acre). METHODS Skin biopsy imprints or biopsy fragments were assayed via kDNA-PCR/RFLP and FRET-real-time PCR. RESULTS Of individuals with suspected CL, 18 were positive for Leishmania kDNA. Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis (61.1%) and Leishmania (Viannia) guyanensis (5.5%) were identified in the positive samples. CONCLUSIONS These results are congruent with the previous reports in Acre and Bolivia, revealing L. braziliensis as the most prevalent species. L. guyanensis identification also corroborates with the epidemiology of the disease in the Amazon Basin.

title: Anatomy of the vegetative organs as subsidy to the taxonomy of Geissospermum (Apocynaceae - Rauvolfioideae)

description: Abstract Considering the interspecific morphological similarities in Geissospermum and the difficulty of collecting fertile specimens of the genus, this work aimed to provide potential diagnostic anatomical characters for the group based on the analysis of vegetative organs. For this, stem and leaf samples of G. argenteum Woodson, G. laeve (Vell.) Miers, G. reticulatum A.H. Gentry, G. sericeum Miers, and G. urceolatum A.H. Gentry were collected from exsicates deposited at the herbaria HAMAB, INPA and MG and processed according to standard plant anatomy techniques. The studied species were then compared on a binary matrix of characters submitted to methods of grouping (UPGMA) to obtain a phenogram and, posteriorly, a dichotomous identification key. Our phenotype analysis showed that the most similar anatomically species are G. argenteum with G. sericeum, G. laeve with G. reticulatum, and G. urceolatum being the most distinct species in the genus. Our results show that the anatomy contributed to the identification of Geissospermum, even in the absence of reproductive organs. The epidermal cell shape, persistence of trichomes, brachycleral arrangement, contour and vascularization of the petiole were the most important features to the recognition of taxa within the taxa.

title: Local-global linkages in the food regime: global history and the internationalization of Brazilian agribusiness

description: Abstract This paper analyzes the internationalization of the Brazilian agricultural sector through a “global history” approach. The goal of the paper is to understand the internationalization of agribusiness as a smaller part of a transformation in the global food regime. In tracing the trajectory of agribusiness internationalization in Brazil, the paper explores patterns of local-global interaction and the new opportunities that emerge in global food regimes as a result. Finally, the paper probes the internationalization of Brazilian agribusiness under the state-agrarian elite partnership that has taken advantage of local and global transformations in agribusiness in recent history.

title: Proteomic analysis of the acquired enamel pellicle formed on human and bovine tooth: a study using the Bauru in situ pellicle model (BISPM)

description: Abstract The acquired enamel pellicle (AEP) is an organic film, bacteria-free, formed in vivo as a result of the selective adsorption of salivary proteins and glycoproteins to the solid surfaces exposed to the oral environment. Objective: This study aimed to compare the proteomic profile of AEP formed in situ on human and bovine enamel using a new intraoral device (Bauru in situ pellicle model - BISPM). Material and Methods: One hundred and eight samples of human and bovine enamel were prepared (4×4 mm). Nine subjects with good oral conditions wore a removable jaw appliance (BISPM) with 6 slabs of each substrate randomly allocated. The AEP was formed during the morning, for 120 minutes, and collected with an electrode filter paper soaked in 3% citric acid. This procedure was conducted in triplicate and the pellicle collected was processed for analysis by LC-ESI-MS/MS. The obtained mass spectrometry MS/MS spectra were searched against human protein database (SWISS-PROT). Results: The use of BISPM allowed the collection of enough proteins amount for proper analysis. A total of 51 proteins were found in the AEP collected from the substrates. Among them, 15 were common to both groups, 14 were exclusive of the bovine enamel, and 22 were exclusive of the human enamel. Proteins typically found in the AEP were identified, such as Histatin-1, Ig alpha-1, Ig alpha 2, Lysozyme C, Statherin and Submaxillary gland androgen-regulated protein 3B. Proteins not previously described in the AEP, such as metabolism, cell signaling, cell adhesion, cell division, transport, protein synthesis and degradation were also identified. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the proteins typically found in the AEP appeared in both groups, regardless the substrate. The BISPM revealed to be a good device to be used in studies involving proteomic analysis of the AEP.
