Juvenile hormone (JH III) is an important example of a chemical signaling derived from the terpene biosynthetic pathway. Because of its impact on many species’ reproductive and developmental processes, analytical approaches must be developed to accurately identify and measure it in biological samples. In this technical note, we explored the gas-phase dissociative behavior of JH III using tandem mass spectrometry combined with electrospray ionization to provide diagnostic fragment-ions for quantitative purposes.

Resumen: En | Texto: En | PDF: En

Caves are ecosystems and natural heritage sites with magnificent biological diversity, from microorganisms to animals, despite their selective environment for development and survival. Until now, studies on cave microbiomes have included taxonomic classification through metagenomics analysis, demonstrating microbiological heterogeneity mainly composed of prokaryotic organisms or bacteria species. The generally oligotrophic environment, with limited energy input and dark zone, is the main feature differentiating the cave microorganisms from the other microbiomes and resulting in a unique habitat, which has unexplored regard to biology and chemical diversity. Multi-omics integration is a key strategy for scanning and integrating the macro and micromolecular universe, providing a better comprehension of processes and answers of the microbiome in natural cavities. Here, we highlight the strategies employed to study the cave microbiome, from the microbial genomes to their ability to secondary metabolites production, and also the multi-omics integration to explore the chemical and biological diversity in caves. animals survival now analysis species zone habitat Multiomics Multi omics universe cavities Here production multiomics multi caves

Resumen: En | Texto: En | PDF: En

This is an initial study using infrared (IR) in silico data as a standard database in preliminary method for new synthetic seized drugs. For this purpose, ten of the most common synthetic illicit seized substances on the Brazilian market were compared and computational chemistry was used as a tool for theoretical standard database. Infrared data from standard electronic library, experimental data from seized samples and data simulated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) were evaluated. The feasibility of the method was based on the degree of correlation of evaluated data. The results suggest that the computational methodology can be a viable way to analyze the structures of new synthetic drugs and obtain preliminary infrared profiles. Correlations data indicated a presumptive identification of the analyzed samples and it was also possible to observe a preliminary identification of drugs in five classes. However, it was observed that some synthetic cathinones and phenylethylamines were confused with amphetamines. Therefore, new studies must be developed to optimize the use of these data, because the simulated IR spectra can be advantageous to evaluate the profile of possible substances that may be synthesized in the future.

Resumen: En Pt | Texto: En Pt | PDF: En | PDF: Pt

Abstract Anterior dislocations represent about 96% of total shoulder dislocations, with recurrence/instability being more common in young patients. Injury of other shoulder structures is frequent, namely bony Bankart lesion. However, the association with coracoid apophysis fracture is very rare. The present article describes the clinical case of a 67-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with complaints of persistent omalgia, with acute episodes, beginning after a fall from his own height. The patient also presented history of shoulder trauma 3 months earlier, which was evaluated at another hospital. Shoulder anterior dislocation was observed radiographically, and the computed tomography (CT) confirmed bone erosion of the anteroinferior part of the glenoid (bone loss of about 50% of the anteroposterior diameter in the lower region of the glenoid), with almost complete resorption of the bony Bankart lesion (apparent in later analysis of the radiography of the initial traumatic episode). Connectedly, a transverse fracture of the coracoid apophysis (type II in the Ogawa classification) was diagnosed. The patient was submitted to surgical treatment, with anterior bone stop confection using the remnant of the fractured fragment of the coracoid supplemented by tricortical autologous iliac graft, fixed with cannulated screws (according to the Bristow-Latarjet and Eden-Hybinett techniques). In the postoperative follow-up, a good functional result was observed, with no new episodes of dislocation and no significant pain complaints. A rare association of shoulder lesions is described, and the challenge of their treatment is highlighted, given the late diagnosis, as in the case presented.

Resumo As luxações anteriores representam cerca de 96% do total de luxações do ombro, sendo a recidiva/instabilidade mais comum em pacientes jovens. A lesão de outras estruturas do ombro é frequente, nomeadamente a lesão óssea de Bankart. Contudo, a associação com a fratura da apófise coracoide é muito rara. Este artigo descreve o caso clínico de um homem de 67 anos que recorreu ao serviço de urgência com queixas de omalgia persistente, com episódios de agudização, iniciados após queda da própria altura. O paciente apresentava ainda histórico de trauma do ombro 3 meses antes, avaliado em outro hospital. A luxação anterior do ombro foi constatada radiograficamente, e a tomografia computorizada (TC) do ombro confirmou erosão óssea da vertente anteroinferior da glenoide (perda óssea de cerca de 50% do diâmetro anteroposterior na região inferior da glenoide), com reabsorção quase completa de lesão óssea de Bankart (aparente em análise a posteriori da radiografia do episódio traumático inicial). Associadamente, foi diagnosticada uma fratura transversa da apófise coracoide (tipo II da classificação de Ogawa). O paciente foi submetido ao tratamento cirúrgico, com confecção do batente ósseo anterior utilizando remanescente do fragmento fraturado do coracoide suplementado por enxerto autólogo tricortical do ilíaco, fixados com parafusos canulados (de acordo com as técnicas de Bristow-Latarjet e Eden-Hybinett). No seguimento pós-operatório, foi observado um bom resultado funcional, sem novos episódios de luxação e sem queixas álgicas significativas. Descreve-se uma associação rara de lesões do ombro, e salienta-se o desafio do tratamento das mesmas dado o seu diagnóstico tardio, como no caso apresentado.

Abstract Background Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a frequent cause of young-onset dementia and represents a major challenge for the diagnosis and clinical management. It is essential to evaluate the difficulties faced by physicians on the diagnostic workup and on patient care. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the current practices and the local limits on the diagnosis and management of FTD in Brazil. Methods We elaborated an online survey, composed of 29 questions and divided in four parts, comprising questions about existing health facilities, clinical practices related to FTD, and suggestions to increment the national research on FTD. The invitation to participate was sent by email to all neurologists affiliated to the Brazilian Academy of Neurology (n = 3658), and to all physicians who attended the XII Meeting of Researchers on Alzheimer's disease, in 2019 (n = 187). The invitation was also diffused through social media. Results 256 Brazilian physicians answered the questionnaire. The three most relevant disorders for the differential diagnosis of FTD were Alzheimer's disease (AD) (n = 211), bipolar disorder (n = 117) and dementia with Lewy bodies (n = 92). Most respondents (125/256) reported the difficulty in performing genetic testing as the main limit in the diagnostic of FTD. 93% and 63% of participants considered that the assessment of social cognition and AD CSF biomarkers are useful for the diagnosis of FTD, respectively. Conclusions The present study may provide valuable insights for the medical education and clinical training of physicians, and to foster future research on FTD in Brazil.

Resumo Antecedentes A demência frontotemporal (DFT) é causa frequente de demência pré-senil e representa um desafio em termos de diagnóstico e de manejo clínico. É essencial avaliar as dificuldades existentes na propedêutica e nos cuidados médicos. Objetivo Investigar as práticas médicas e as dificuldades para diagnóstico e manejo da DFT no Brasil. Métodos Elaborou-se um questionário online, composto de 29 questões, divididas em quatro partes, com perguntas sobre infraestrutura existente, práticas clínicas relacionadas à DFT e sugestões para desenvolver a pesquisa nacional na área. O convite para participação foi enviado por e-mail a todos neurologistas afiliados à Academia Brasileira de Neurologia (n = 3658), e aos médicos que participaram da XII Reunião de Pesquisadores de Doença de Alzheimer, em 2019 (n = 187). O convite também foi divulgado através de mídias sociais. Resultados 256 médicos brasileiros responderam o questionário. Os três principais diagnósticos diferenciais de DFT foram doença de Alzheimer (n = 211), transtorno bipolar (n = 117) e demência com corpos de Lewy (n = 92). A maior parte dos respondedores (125/256) apontou a dificuldade em realizar testagem genética como o maior limite no diagnóstico de DFT. 93% e 63% dos respondedores indicaram que a avaliação de cognição social e o uso de biomarcadores liquóricos de doença de Alzheimer são úteis no diagnóstico de DFT, respectivamente. Conclusões Estes resultados devem ser considerados na educação e treinamento médicos, e no desenvolvimento da pesquisa brasileira em DFT.

Resumen: En Es | Texto: En Es | PDF: En | PDF: Es

Abstract Background: Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) in children with structurally normal hearts is generally unrelated to the risk of sudden arrhythmic death. Still, it may be associated with deterioration in the quality of life. VT involving the fascicular conduction system is the most typical form of idiopathic left VT. In this retrospective study, we describe the experience of the clinical presentation, catheter ablation, and long-term follow-up of left fascicular VT in children. Methods: An electrophysiological study was performed on consecutive children at a single tertiary center. Clinical fascicular left VT was induced by programmed stimulation, and catheter ablation was guided searching for Purkinje potentials. Results: We included 18 patients (0.8 patients/year): 14 (77.8%) males and four females. The mean age of the first VT episode was 8.5 ± 5 years. Intravenous verapamil administration was effective for paroxysmal fascicular VT but not for prevention of recurrences. The mean age at the time of catheter ablation was 11.1 ± 3.8 years (8 months-16 years). The mean weight was 36.8 ± 16.4 kg (8.7-58 kg). A 100% success rate was observed with catheter ablation after repeated procedures without major complications. Mean follow-up was 2.0 ± 1.2 years (1.0-4.0 years, median 1.5), with permanent success in all patients and no antiarrhythmic drug administration. Conclusions: Fascicular VT has an adverse clinical course in children. In most cases, this condition is drug refractory. Catheter ablation is successful and safe treatment and should represent the first-line approach in symptomatic children.

Resumen Introducción: La taquicardia ventricular (TV) idiopática en niños con corazón estructuralmente normal generalmente no se relaciona con el riesgo de muerte súbita arrítmica, pero puede asociarse con deterioro de la calidad de vida. La TV que involucra el sistema de conducción fascicular es la forma más común de TV izquierda idiopática. En este estudio retrospectivo se describe la experiencia de presentación clínica, ablación con catéter y seguimiento a largo plazo de TV fascicular en niños. Métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio electrofisiológico en niños consecutivos en un centro terciario. La TV fascicular clínica se indujo mediante la estimulación programada y la ablación con catéter fue guiada buscando el registro de potenciales de Purkinje. Resultados: Se incluyeron 18 pacientes (0.8 pacientes/año): 14 (77.8%) de sexo masculino y cuatro de sexo femenino. La media de edad a la cual ocurrió el primer episodio fue de 8.5 ± 5 años. La administración intravenosa de verapamilo fue eficaz para la TV fascicular paroxística, pero no para prevención de recurrencias. La media de edad de la ablación con catéter fue de 11.1 ± 3.8 años (8 meses-16 años). La media del peso fue 36.8 ± 16.4 kg (8.7-58 kg). Se observó el 100% de éxito con la ablación con catéter después de procedimientos repetidos sin complicaciones mayores. La media de seguimiento fue de 2.0 ± 1.2 años (1.0-4.0, mediana de 1.5 años) con éxito permanente en todos los pacientes y sin administración de fármacos antiarrítmicos. Conclusiones: En niños, el curso clínico de la TV fascicular es adverso. Además, en la mayoría de los casos, esta condición es refractaria a fármacos. La ablación con catéter resulta exitosa y segura y debe representar el abordaje de primera línea en niños sintomáticos.

Background: Bile duct reconstruction (BDR) secondary to bile duct injury during cholecystectomy (BDIC) is a complex surgery, and an important issue is the quality of life (QL) after the procedure. Aim: To compare the QL of a cohort of patients who underwent BDR due to BDIC with a cohort of patients who underwent a cholecystectomy without incidents. Material and Methods: The cohort was composed of 32 patients aged 47 ± 18 years (78% women) who underwent BDR due to BDIC. For purposes of comparison, a cohort of patients who underwent a cholecystectomy without incident was chosen. These cohorts were paired 1:1 by age (± 1 year), gender and type of surgery. The SF-36 quality of life survey was applied in person or by telephone. The score was calculated as proposed by the RAND group. Results: The cohort of BDR patients was comprised of 32 patients, with an average age of 47 ± 17.6 years, with a predominance of women (78%). The mean number of hospitalization days among BDR patients was 20 ± 11.8. The average follow-up was 7 ± 5 years. The mean score of patients undergoing RVB or cholecystectomy without complications was evaluated, without finding differences in the score of the different domains of the SF-36 scale. Conclusions: In the present study no significant differences were found in QL between the patients with BDIC who underwent BDR and patients who underwent a cholecystectomy without complications.

Resumen: En | Texto: En | PDF: En

Various beneficial biological activities have been reported for passion fruit (Passiflora edulis), grown in tropical and subtropical regions. However, no study has yet demonstrated its action against the Zika virus (ZIKV) infection. The present study aimed to investigate the anti-ZIKV of the ethanolic passion fruit seed extract (PFSE), from which, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis allowed to putatively annotate the occurrence of piceatannol, astringin, scirpusin A, scirpusin B, isookanin-7-O-glucoside and naringenin-7-O-glucoside, two quadranguloside derivatives, tyrosine, and phenylalanine. PFSE is well tolerated by cell lines (Vero E6 and HTR-8/SVneo) and tissue explants from the human placenta. With 1- and 24-h treatments, PFSE consistently reduced the viral load and NS1 protein expression of the two strains of ZIKV (MR766 and PE243) in placental explants and cell lines. Thus, PFSE has a promising potential for developing anti-ZIKV treatments, protecting the placenta against infection caused by ZIKV, along with relevant antioxidant potential, represented by ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of 390.5 Trolox eq per g dry extract and half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH•) of 12.1 µg mL-1, and more than 90% protection from lipid peroxidation. Although further studies need to be conducted, PFSE treatment was safe and effective in trophoblast cells and placental explants, thus representing a promising class of all-accessible products based on the reuse of industrial by-products.

Resumen: En | Texto: En | PDF: En

ABSTRACT Justicia calycina is a subshrub well distributed in northern South America. Despite its widespread occurrence, little is known about its anatomy and plasticity in different environments. Our study aimed to evaluate how leaf anatomical traits of J. calycina adjust in forest areas with variations in canopy openness in the Southern Amazon, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. Forest areas were: Open and Dense Ombrophilous Forest, and Seasonal Deciduous Forest (rocky outcrop). We performed anatomical measurements in leaves sampled on 10 individuals in each forest site, with the help of usual anatomy techniques. Foliar anatomy of J. calycina showed similar pattern among the studied forests, with significant difference (p<0.05) in four leaf traits among 22 studied: vascular bundle diameter, palisade parenchyma thickness, stomatal density and trichome density in adaxial epidermis. These leaf traits showed high plasticity index, with higher values in Dense Forest and in Deciduous Forest. Even though J. calycina showed overall little anatomical variation among forest types, the few attributes that differed are fundamental in the photosynthesis process. The adjustment in leaf anatomical traits under different luminosity conditions demonstrates a degree of phenotypic plasticity in the species, which contributes to its distribution in different forest phytophysiognomies in Brazilian Amazonia.

Resumen Este estudio evaluó el efecto de inclusión de la harina de tubérculos de taro de rechazo (RTTF) sobre el desempeño productivo en cerdos híbridos comerciales (Landrace × Duroc × Pietrain) durante el período de posdestete. El experimento se estableció bajo un diseño completamente aleatorizado, conformando cuatro tratamientos (0, 10, 20 y 30 % de inclusión de RTTF en la dieta), empleando un total de 60 lechones con 15 repeticiones cada uno. Se determinó el consumo de materia seca diario (CMSD), ganancia de peso diario (GPD), conversión alimentaria (CA), peso final (PF), presencia de diarreas, mortalidad y costo de producción. La RTTF presentó alto contenido de materia seca, extractos libres de nitrógeno, energía bruta, ácido aspártico, ácido glutámico, potasio, hierro, polifenoles y actividad antioxidante. La inclusión de RTTF en la dieta de los cerdos en el periodo completo (30-58 d) no ocasionó diarreas ni muertes y mostró un efecto cuadrático sobre el PF (p < 0,001), CMSD (p < 0,001), y produjo efecto lineal sobre la GPD (p = 0,006), CA (p = 0,003) y costo de producción (p < 0,001). En conclusión, la inclusión de RTTF en la dieta de los cerdos después del destete (30-58 d), entre 0 y 30 %, no mostró efecto sobre el PF y CMSD, con una ligera disminución en la GPD y CA, y con un efecto lineal en la reducción del costo de producción.

Abstract This study evaluated the effect of the inclusion of rejected taro tuber flour (RTTF) on the productive performance in commercial hybrid pigs (Landrace × Duroc × Pietrain) during their post-weaning period. The experiment was established under a completely randomized design, comprising four treatments (0, 10, 20, and 30% inclusion of RTTF in the diet), using a total of 60 piglets with 15 repetitions each. The average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion (FC), final body weight (BW), presence of diarrheas, mortality, and production cost, were determined. RTTF showed a high dry matter content, nitrogen-free extracts, gross energy, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, potassium, iron, polyphenols, and antioxidant activity. RTTF inclusion in the diet of pigs in the entire period (30-58 d) did not cause diarrhea or deaths and showed a quadratic effect on BW (p < 0.001) and ADFI (p < 0.001) and produced a linear effect on ADG (p = 0.006), FC (p = 0.003) and production cost (p < 0.001). In conclusion, the inclusion of RTTF in the diet of pigs after weaning (30-58 d) ranging between 0 and 30 % showed no effect on BW and ADFI, with a slight decrease in ADG and FC and a linear effect on production cost reduction.

Resumen: En | Texto: En | PDF: En

The phytochemical reinvestigation from the heartwood of the extracts of Cordia glazioviana led to the isolation of four still undescribed hydroquinones derivatives designated as cordiaquinol D (1), cordiaquinol E (2), (10R)-10,11-dihydrofuran-1,4-dihydroxy-globiferin (3) and 2-[(1’E,6’E)-3’,8’- dihydroxy-3’,7’-dimethylocta-1’,6’-dienyl]-benzene-1,4-diol (4), along with the naphthoquinone 6-[(2’R)-2’-hydroxy-3’,6’-dihydro-2H-pyran-5’-yl]-2-methoxy-7-methylnaphthalene-1,4-dione (5). Additionally, six previously known compounds were also isolated: rel-1,4-dihydroxy-8(,11(;9(,11(-diepoxy-2-methoxy-8a(-methyl-5,6,7,8,8a,9,10,10a-octahydro-10-antracenone (6), didehydroconicol (7), 1(,6(-dihydroxy-7-epi-eudesm-3-ene (8), 1(,6(-dihydroxy-7-epi-eudesm-4(15)-ene (9), 10,11-dihydroxybisabolol (10), and hamanasal-A (11). The structures of the new compounds were assigned by high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses. The relative stereochemistry of 3, 4, and 5 was improved by quantum mechanical calculations. Eight, out of the eleven isolated compounds (2-9), were tested through cellular viability and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation assays against RAW 264.7 macrophage-like cells. Compounds 3-5 exhibited a stronger effect on LPS-induced NO production (half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) 50.34, 105.83, and 66.73 µM, respectively).
