Aim The aim of the present preliminary case-control study was to test the sensitivity and specificity of salivary pipecolic acid in predicting head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Methods High-performance liquid chromatography was used for the analysis of non-stimulated saliva samples from 40 individuals: 20 in the case group (recently diagnosed with untreated HNSCC) and 20 in the control group (individuals without cancer). Both groups included patients taking daily oral hypoglycemic drugs (comorbidity). The case and control groups were matched at a proportion of 1:1 for sex and comorbidity. Results Mean salivary levels of pipecolic acid were 169.38 ng/mL in the case group and 114.66 ng/mL in the control group (p<0.001). Individuals who took oral hypoglycemic drugs had higher levels of pipecolic acid in both the case and control groups (p<0.001). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed 90% sensitivity and 65% specificity for head and neck cancer, with an area under the curve of 0.838 between the case and control groups. Conclusions Pipecolic acid had high sensitivity for the diagnosis of HNSCC but low specificity in the sample analyzed. Our findings suggest that salivary pipecolic acid levels are associated with glucose homeostasis. Studies with larger samples are required to evaluate the specificity of this metabolite.

An efficient sequential three-step reaction methodology for the synthesis of three new series-1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1H-pyrroles, methyl 4-acetyl-1-((1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates and 6-((1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)-2,6-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridazin-1-ones-is reported. The methodology comprises: (i) N-alkylation reactions of polyfunctionalized 1H-pyrroles-which were previously obtained from (E)-methyl 2-azido-3-arylacrylates-with propargyl bromide in order to obtain 1H-pyrroles; (ii) standard copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) involving organic azides (benzyl-, 4-methoxybenzyl- and 4-chlorobenzyl, as well as n-octyl azide) and N-propargylated 1H-pyrroles to give triazolyl derivatives, as methyl 1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylates (click chemistry); and (iii) [4 + 2] cyclocondensation reactions of the ketoesters in the presence of hydrazine hydrochloride in order to furnish the desired series of pyrrolo[3,4-d]pyridazin-1-ones at total yields up to 54%.

This paper describes an efficient approach for the synthesis of a novel series of sixteen 2-(5-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-5-(5-trihalomethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl-1-carbonyl) pyridines, for the first time with non-identical substituents in both pyrazole rings, through the cyclocondensation reaction of 4-methoxy-4-alkyl(aryl/heteroaryl-1,1,1-trihaloalk-3-en-2-ones [CX3C(O)CH=CR1OCH3, in which R1 = CH3, C6H5, 4-CH3C6H4, 4-OCH3C6H4, 2-furyl and X = F, Cl] or acetylacetone with some 6-[3-alkyl(aryl)-5-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]nicotinohydrazides. Optimized yields of 67-91% were obtained when the reactions were performed in ethanol (green solvent) at reflux for 16 h. Subsequent antioxidant and antimicrobial evaluation revealed promising 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) inhibition percentage and exhibited fungiostatic and fungicidal activities against yeasts, dermatophytes and filamentous, especially for the pyridine systems, when the both pyrazole rings attached to a pyridine ring contain CX3 groups (X = H, F, Cl) of different kinds. It is also observed the trichloromethyl substituted compounds presented higher antioxidant activity in comparison to their fluorinated analogous.

Os bifenilos policlorados (PCBs) estão entre os poluentes mais tóxicos presentes no meio ambiente, apresentando os alimentos como principal fonte de exposição humana. Com base nisso, este trabalho teve como objetivo determinar os sete PCBs indicadores de contaminação ambiental em 22 amostras de arroz e 18 de feijão do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Além disso, objetivou-se calcular a ingestão diária estimada de resíduos, a partir da contaminação existente no arroz e feijão, assim como determinar o teor de gordura das amostras para correlacioná-lo com os níveis de PCBs. A extração e purificação dos compostos foram realizadas pelo método QuEChERS, seguido de identificação e quantificação por CG-EM. Os PCBs 153 e 101 apresentaram as maiores concentrações médias nas amostras de arroz e feijão, respectivamente. Considerando o somatório dos PCBs, este foi de 4,39ng g-1 para o arroz e de 4,17ng g-1 para o feijão. Quanto à ingestão diária estimada, esta foi de 7,82ng kg-1 e de 3,14ng kg-1 de peso corporal por dia, para o arroz e o feijão, respectivamente. Em relação ao percentual de gordura, o arroz e o feijão apresentaram teores de gordura de 0,32% e de 1,1%, respectivamente. No entanto, a correlação com os níveis de PCBs não foi significativa. Os resultados demonstram que o estado do RS apresenta fontes importantes de contaminação desses resíduos químicos persistentes

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are among the most toxic pollutants in the environment showing foods as the main source of human exposure. Based on this, this study aimed to determine 7 PCBs indicators of environmental contamination in 22 samples of rice and 18 samples of beans in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Furthermore, this study aimed to calculate the waste estimated daily intake, starting from the existing contamination in rice and beans, as well as wanted to determine the samples fat content to correlate with levels of PCBs. The extraction and purification of the compounds were performed via QuEChERS method followed by identification and quantification by GC-MS. PCBs 153 and 101 showed the highest mean concentration in the samples of rice and bean, respectively. Considering the sum of PCBs in the samples, this was 4.39ng g-1 for the rice and 4.17ng g-1 for the beans. In estimated daily intake, this was 7.82ng kg-1 and 3.14ng kg-1 of body weight per day, for the rice and beans, respectively. Regarding the percentage of fat the rice and beans samples had fat contents of 0.32% and 1.1%, respectively. However, the correlation with the PCBs levels was not significant. The results demonstrate that the State of RS has important sources of these persistent chemical waste contaminations

Nos últimos anos, a piscicultura brasileira em tanques-rede, em águas públicas abertas, tem sido alavancada por incentivos governamentais e privados, e a tilápia do nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) tem sido o principal pescado utilizado. Como forma de melhorar a eficiência de produção, empiricamente, os piscicultores realizam o manejo de classificação e a repicagem das tilápias em engorda, resultando em lotes com diferentes rendimentos e precocidades, num gradiente dos melhores aos piores rendimentos. Este trabalho objetivou avaliar o desempenho de engorda de tilápias em um rotineiro sistema de produção em tanques-rede, sendo utilizado o usual modelo empírico de classificação e repicagem em três etapas distintas e tendo por fundamento a separação dos lotes de peixes em classes de tamanho e peso, ao longo do processo de engorda. Os resultados mostraram situações bem distintas. Num extremo, lotes de peixes precoces sendo comercializados após o processo de classificação e repicagem, aos 152 dias de engorda, apresentando taxas crescentes de ganho de peso diário (entre 0,30 e 7,23g dia-1) e de conversão alimentar aparente satisfatória (entre 1,50 e 1,53). No outro extremo, lotes heterogêneos sendo comercializados com 213 dias, taxas de ganho de peso inconstantes (entre 0,94 e 8,24) e elevadas taxas de conversão alimentar aparente (entre 1,54 e 3,03). A partir dos resultados, pode-se destacar a relevância dessa prática empírica de manejo zootécnico em piscicultura, que mostra grandes discrepâncias de rendimentos e precocidades entre os lotes, considerando o tempo de cultivo, o ganho de peso e a conversão alimentar aparente. Além disso, recomenda-se, para os lotes heterogêneos destinos, alternativas como a utilização de piscicultura extensiva (sem arraçoamento) para a mitigação dos impactos ambientais negativos inerentes dessa atividade zootécnica.

In the past few years Brazilian aquaculture in net cages located at public reservoirs has been increasing due to industry and government efforts. Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) has been the main fish species used in this system. Aiming to increase production efficiency, fish farmers empirically apply classification and grading management of finishing tilapias resulting in groups with different performances and precocity, in a grade basis from the best to worst performances. This study aimed to evaluate growth performance of finishing tilapias raised in a common net cage production system using the usual empirical model of classification and grading in three distinct steps along the finish phase. Results showed two distinct situations: the first with rapid growth groups of fish being marketed at 152 days presenting increasing daily weight gain (between 0.30 and 7.23g day-1) and proper feed conversion ratios (between 1.50 and 1.53); and the second with fish being marketed at 213 days presenting not constant weight gains (between 0.94 and 8.24) and high feed conversion ratios (between 1.54 and 3.03). Based on the results it must be emphasizing the importance of this empirical fish management due to the high variability in the growth performance among fish groups. Nevertheless, the appropriate strategy recommended for the use of heterogeneous groups of fish is the extensive fish farming system, which aims to mitigate the environmental impact caused by the excessive feeding used as the purpose for a high production.

Algumas reações foram realizadas na presença de metanol. Os resultados obtidos utilizando micro-ondas para síntese foram comparados com aqueles obtidos quando a reação foi feita pelo método convencional e no forno de micro-ondas doméstico. Os produtos foram obtidos com bons rendimentos em um intervalo de tempo pequeno. Além disso, foi demonstrado que a temperatura da reação alterou a formação dos produtos para cada hidrazina mostrando que o equipamento de micro-ondas para síntese é eficiente para as reações de hidrazinas com 4-alcóxi-1,1,1-trifluor-3-alquen-2-onas levando à formação dos produtos 4,5-diidro-1H-pirazóis e pirazóis.

This paper presents a study of solvent-free reaction conditions using microwave irradiation (MW) to obtain 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles and dehydrated pyrazoles by the cyclocondensation reaction of 4-alkoxy-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-alken-2-ones [CF3C(O)CH=C(R¹)OR, where R/R¹ = Et/H, Me/Me and Me/Ph] with hydrazines [NH2NH-R², where R² = CO2Me, Ph, CH2CH2OH]. Some reactions were performed under the same reaction conditions using methanol as solvent. The results obtained using MW equipment for synthesis under solvent-free conditions were also compared with those described in literature for conventional thermal heating and heating with a domestic MW oven. In general, the products furnished by reaction in MW equipment for synthesis presented better yields and shorter reaction times. In addition, it was demonstrated that the reaction temperature altered the formation of products for each hydrazine showing that MW equipment for synthesis is efficient for reacting hydrazines and 4-alkoxy-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-alken-2-ones to procedure the products 4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles and dehydrated pyrazoles.
