Abstract Objectives This analysis describes the protocol of a study with a case-cohort to design to prospectively evaluate the incidence of subclinical atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) in Chronic Inflammatory Disease (CID) participants compared to non-diseased ones. Methods A high-risk group for CID was defined based on data collected in all visits on self-reported medical diagnosis, use of medicines, and levels of high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein >10 mg/L. The comparison group is the Aleatory Cohort Sample (ACS): a group with 10% of participants selected at baseline who represent the entire cohort. In both groups, specific biomarkers for DIC, markers of subclinical atherosclerosis, and CVD morbimortality will be tested using weighted Cox. Results The high-risk group (n = 2,949; aged 53.6 ± 9.2; 65.5% women) and the ACS (n=1543; 52.2±8.8; 54.1% women) were identified. Beyond being older and mostly women, participants in the high-risk group present low average income (29.1% vs. 24.8%, p < 0.0001), higher BMI (Kg/m2) (28.1 vs. 26.9, p < 0.0001), higher waist circumference (cm) (93.3 vs. 91, p < 0.0001), higher frequencies of hypertension (40.2% vs. 34.5%, p < 0.0001), diabetes (20.7% vs. 17%, p = 0.003) depression (5.8% vs. 3.9%, p = 0.007) and higher levels of GlycA a new inflammatory marker (p < 0.0001) compared to the ACS. Conclusions The high-risk group selected mostly women, older, lower-income/education, higher BMI, waist circumference, and of hypertension, diabetes, depression, and higher levels of GlycA when compared to the ACS. The strategy chosen to define the high-risk group seems adequate given that multiple sociodemographic and clinical characteristics are compatible with CID.

ABSTRACT Objective: The present study has investigated the association between low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) 4037C>T polymorphism and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) susceptibility in a Brazilian population. Subjects and methods: A total number of 134 T1DM patients and 180 normoglycemic individuals (NG) aged 6-20 years were studied. Glycated hemoglobin and glucose levels were determined. Genotyping of LRP5 4037C>T (rs3736228) was performed. Results: T1DM patients showed poor glycemic control. Genotypes in the codominant (CT: OR = 2.99 [CI 95%: 1.71-5.24], p < 0.001; TT: OR = 5.34 [CI 95%: 1.05-2702], p < 0.001), dominant (CT + TT: OR = 3.16 [CI 95%: 1.84-5.43], p < 0.001) and log-additive (OR = 2.78 [CI 95%: 1.70-4.52], p < 0.001) models, and LRP5 4037T allele (OR = 2.88, [CI 95%: 1.78-4.77], p < 0.001) were associated with an increased risk of developing T1DM. LRP5 4037CT and CT+TT carriers in T1DM group showed higher concentrations of serum glucose and glycated hemoglobin when compared with CC carriers. Conclusion: The LRP5 4037C>T may represent a candidate for T1DM susceptibility, as well as poor glycemic control.

Asymptomatic meningococcus carriers in hospitals is a risk factor for acquiring meningococcal disease. Meningococcal carrier (MC) frequency was investigated in oropharyngeal swab samples collected from 200 staff members at a teaching hospital from Brazil. MC prevalence was 9 % (95 % CI 5-13 %). Risk factors associated with MC were: mean age of 26.5 years, male gender, bar attendance frequency and number of persons/house. Of 18 isolated meningococcal strains, 14 were non-groupable (NG), 3 corrresponded to serogroup B and 1 to serogroup 29E. The frequency of serotypes and serosubtypes was heterogenous, with a slight predominance of serotypes 4 and 7 and serosubtypes P1.7 and P1.5. Most strains (n = 13) were susceptible to the antimicrobials tested. The ctrA gene (PCR) was identified in 9 (64.3 %) of the 14 NG strains, suggesting virulence in most of the NG isolated strains. Therefore, a constant surveillance of these asymptomatic carriers is required.

Los portadores asintomáticos de meningococos en hospitales son un factor de riesgo (FR) para adquirir la enfermedad meningocócica. La frecuencia de portadores de meningococos fue determinada a través de colecta orofaríngea en personal de un hospital de Brasil (n = 200). La prevalencia de portadores fue del 9 % (IC del 95 %, 5-13 %). Los FR asociados al estado de portador fueron los siguientes: edad promedio 26,5 años, sexo masculino, hábito de frecuentar bares y número de personas/casa. Entre las 18 cepas de meningococos aisladas, 14 eran no agrupables (NG), 3 correspondieron al serogrupo B y una al 29E. La frecuencia de los serotipos y serosubtipos fue heterogénea, con un ligero predominio de los serotipos 4 y 7 y de los serosubtipos P1.7 y P1.5. La mayoría de las cepas (n = 13) fueron sensibles a los antimicrobianos estudiados. El gen ctrA fue identificado por PCR en 9 (64,3 %) de las 14 cepas NG, lo que sugiere virulencia en la mayoría de las cepas NG aisladas. Por lo tanto, se requiere una vigilancia constante de estos portadores asintomáticos.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar se a viscossuplementação com ácido hialurônico em pacientes com artropatia hemofílica grave associada com triancinolona após a lavagem articular com soro fisiológico melhora a dor, a rigidez, a função e a qualidade de vida. MÉTODOS: Onze pacientes com artrite hemofílica de joelhos com e sem acometimento de outras articulações (tornozelos e cotovelos) foram submetidos a lavagem articular com soro fisiológico e subsequente infiltração de hilano e triancinolona em todas as articulações acometidas. Responderam os questionários algo-funcionais (WOMAC e Lequesne), escala analógica visual para dor (VAS) e SF-36, no pré-operatório, e com um e três meses de pós-operatório. RESULTADOS: A dor (VAS e WOMAC dor) e a rigidez (WOMAC rigidez) não apresentaram melhora significativa (p=0,3; p=0,2; p=0,1, respectivamente). Porém a função apresentou uma melhora significativa dada pelo WOMAC função e total (11 pontos em média, p=0,04 e p=0,001, respectivamente). A pontuação no questionário de Lequesne não variou significativamente (p=0,1). Porém tantos os componentes mental como físico do SF 36 tiveram melhoras clinicamente relevantes e significativas (p=0,002). CONCLUSÃO: A lavagem articular com soro fisiológico seguida pela infiltração de corticosteroide e hilano é efetiva no tratamento da artropatia hemofílica, sobretudo na melhora funcional e na qualidade de vida. Nível de Evidência IV, Série de casos.

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid in patients with severe hemophilic arthropathy associated with triamcinolone after washing with saline improves joint pain, stiffness, function and quality of life. METHODS: Eleven patients with hemophilic arthritis of the knee with and without involvement of other joints (elbows and ankles) underwent joint lavage with saline and subsequent injection of Hylan and triamcinolone in all affected joints. The patients answered the algo-functional (Lequesne and WOMAC), visual analog scale for pain (VAS) and SF-36 (quality of life) questionnaires preoperatively, and at one and three months postoperatively. RESULTS: Pain (VAS and WOMAC pain) and stiffness (WOMAC stiffness) did not show significant improvement (p = 0.3, p = 0.2, p = 0.1, respectively). However function had significant improvement given by WOMAC total and function (averaging 11 points, p = 0.04 and p = 0.001). There was no significant variation in scores in Lequesne's questionnaire (p = 0.1), yet both mental and physical components of SF-36 presented clinically relevant and significant improvements (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION: Joint lavage with saline followed by injection of corticosteroids and Hylan is effective in the treatment of hemophilic arthropathy, especially in functional improvement and quality of life. Level of Evidence IV, Case series.

Parasitóides Trichogramma vêm sendo utilizados em todo o mundo como agentes de controle biológico devido à sua ampla distribuição geográfica, alta especialização e efi ciência no controle de muitas espécies-praga de lepidópteros. Para o entendimento dos resultados do parasitismo e superparasitismo de Trichogramma pretiosum Riley, estudaram-se os aspectos comportamentais e biológicos desse parasitóide sobre ovos de Sitotroga cerealella (Oliver). As variáveis investigadas foram: aceitação hospedeira e tempo de contato de T. pretiosum com o hospedeiro parasitado, porcentagem de emergência, porcentagem de indivíduos deformados, duração ovo-adulto, razão sexual, tamanho e longevidade de T. pretiosum e número de ovos de S. cerealella parasitados por fêmea descendente. Observou-se rejeição de parasitismo em ovos de S. cerealella previamente parasitados com 24, 72 e 120h de idade. A rejeição foi superior para ovos com 72h e 120h após o parasitismo em comparação com aqueles com 24h. Ovos previamente parasitados com 24h apresentaram maior tempo de contato por T. pretiosum comparados aos de 72h e 120h. Os descendentes oriundos de hospedeiros dos quais apenas um parasitóide se desenvolveu apresentaram-se todos maiores, sem deformidades e com maior capacidade de parasitismo, ao contrário dos indivíduos descendentes de hospedeiros em que dois parasitóides se desenvolveram. Entretanto, a longevidade de fêmeas descendentes não diferiu entre parasitóides oriundos de hospedeiros em que um ou dois parasitóides se desenvolveram. Pode-se concluir que T. pretiosum reconhece ovos previamente parasitados e que o superparasitismo resultou em menor sucesso reprodutivo do parasitóide.

The parasitoid Trichogramma has been used worldwide as biological control agent due to its wide geographic distribution, high specialization and efficacy against many lepidopteran pests. Biological and behavioral traits of Trichogramma pretiosum Riley parasitizing Sitotroga cerealella (Oliver) eggs were studied aiming to a better understanding of the results from parasitism and superparasitism. The variables investigated were: host acceptance and contact time by T. pretiosum on parasitized host, percentage of parasitoid emergence, number of deformed individuals produced, egg-adult period, sex ratio, offspring female body size and longevity, and number of S. cerealella eggs parasitized/female. Parasitism rejection was observed on parasitized host eggs after 24, 72 and 120h of parasitism. The rejection was higher for eggs parasitized after 72h and 120h of parasitism as compared to the eggs after 24h of parasitism. T. pretiosum contact time on eggs after 24h of parasitism was greater than on 72 and 120h. The offspring produced from hosts from which a single parasitoid emerged were larger, exhibited no deformities and greater capacity of parasitism, different from those produced from eggs where two parasitoids emerged. Offspring longevity, however, was similar for females emerged from hosts from which one or two adults emerged. In conclusion, T. pretiosum was able to recognize previously parasitized eggs and the superparasitism reduced the parasitoid.reproductive success.

Abstract: En | Text: En | PDF: En

Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) based on recombinant major surface protein 5 (rMSP5) and initial body (IB) antigens from a Brazilian isolate of Anaplasma marginale were developed to detect antibodies against this rickettsia in cattle. Both tests showed the same sensitivity (98.2%) and specificities (100% for rMSP5 and 93.8% for IB ELISA) which did not differ statistically. No cross-reactions were detected with Babesia bigemina antibodies, but 5 (rMSP5 ELISA) to 15% (IB ELISA) of cross-reactions were detected with B. bovis antibodies. However, such difference was not statistically significant. Prevalences of seropositive crossbred beef cattle raised extensively in Miranda county, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, were 78.1% by rMSP5 ELISA and 79.7% by IB ELISA. In the analysis of sera from dairy calves naturally-infected with A. marginale, the dynamics of antibody production was very similar between both tests, with maternal antibodies reaching the lowest levels at 15-30 days, followed by an increase in the mean optical densities in both ELISAs, suggesting the development of active immunity against A. marginale. Results showed that all calves were seropositive by one-year old, characterizing a situation of enzootic stability. The similar performances of the ELISAs suggest that both tests can be used in epidemiological surveys for detection of antibodies to A. marginale in cattle.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a dinâmica de decomposição e a liberação de nutrientes da parte aérea de plantas de soja cultivar Celeste, para fins de adubação verde. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso com cinco repetições. Nas parcelas, as plantas foram cortadas rente ao solo aos 55, 85 e 115 dias após a emergência (DAE) e foram analisadas quanto à decomposição do material vegetal e liberação de N, P, K, Ca e Mg, colocando-se 60 g de matéria fresca da parte aérea em sacos de tela, distribuídos sobre a superfície das parcelas no campo. Nas subparcelas, as taxas de redução de massa de matéria seca e de liberação de nutrientes foram monitoradas mediante análises aos 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 e 150 dias após os cortes das plantas. O modelo exponencial X = X0e-kt demonstrou dinâmicas não muito contrastantes, para os materiais cortados aos 55, 85 e 115 DAE. Apesar de o clima possivelmente ter influenciado na liberação de K, não causou diferenças significativas na decomposição de matéria seca e na liberação de N e fósforo. As plantas de soja, cortadas em diferentes estádios de desenvolvimento, apresentam taxas similares de decomposição e de liberação de nutrientes.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the dynamics of decomposition and release of nutrients from aerial plant parts of the soybean cultivar Celeste used as green manure. A randomized block design was adopted with five replications. Soybean plants were cut close to the soil surface 55, 85 and 115 days after emergency (DAE), and analysed to determine their decomposition and release of N, P, K, Ca and Mg, by placing 60 g of fresh material of the aerial part in nylon screen bags, that were distributed on field plots surface . The rates of loss of dry matter and of nutrient release were monitored in the 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 days after plant cut. The exponential model X = X0e-kt demonstrated that the dynamics of the material cut in the 55, 85 and 115 DAE were not so contrasting. The climate could have interfered on the results, principally on K release rates, however it did not cause mean differences on the biomass decomposition and N and P release. Soybean plant material from cut plants, at different growth stages, present similar rates of decomposition and nutrient release.

Foi conduzido um experimento no município de Bom Jardim, Região Serrana do estado do Rio de Janeiro, visando a avaliar o crescimento e produtividade do inhame cultivado entre faixas de guandu, no sistema orgânico de produção. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições e três tratamentos, que consistiram em cultivo entre faixas sem realização de poda; cultivo entre faixas com poda, com a biomassa mantida em cobertura do solo; e cultivo entre faixas com poda, com a biomassa removida da área. O sistema de cultivo entre faixas de guandu não podadas revelou-se promissor por promover proteção das plantas de inhame contra queimaduras foliares pela radiação solar, mantendo a mesma produtividade do sistema com faixas podadas. Além disso, revelou-se um método eficaz e de baixo custo para controle alternativo de plantas invasoras, prescindindo-se das capinas que oneram a produção orgânica do inhame, na qual o emprego de herbicidas não é admitido. A poda da faixa de guandu contribui para a melhoria da fertilidade do solo, pelo aporte de 6,58 t ha-1 de biomassa seca e 159 kg ha-1 de N e ainda a ciclagem de 20 kg ha-1 de P, 136 kg ha-1 de K, 64 kg ha-1 de Ca e 16 kg ha-1 de Mg.

Growth and productivity of taro intercropped with pigeon pea hedgerows in organic system under different management was tested in Bom Jardim, upland region of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. A completely randomized block design was used with four replicates. The treatments consisted of unpruned hedgerows; hedgerows pruned with the biomass maintained on the soil surface; and hedgerows pruned with the biomass removed from the experimental area. The unpruned hedgerows system was shown to be advantageous by protecting taro leaves against sun burning and keeping the same productivity of the hedgerows pruned system. In addition, it represented an effective way to control weeds, reducing manual labor and costs of organic taro production in which herbicides are not allowed. The legume hedgerows pruned promoted a significant input of organic matter and nitrogen (6.58 t of dry biomass ha-1 and 159 kg of N ha-1) and the recycling of other nutrients, like 20 kg of P ha-1, 136 kg of K ha-1, 64 kg of Ca ha-1 and 16 kg of Mg ha-1.

Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) based on recombinant MSP1a and MSP2 from a Brazilian isolate of Anaplasma marginale were developed to detect antibodies against this rickettsia in cattle. The high sensitivities (99% for both tests) and specificities (100% for both tests) were confirmed with sera from cattle positive or negative for A. marginale antibodies, respectively, by immunofluorescent antibody test. By the analysis of 583 sera from cattle of three regions of the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, the agreement between both tests was high, with a kappa index of 0.89. The similar performances of the ELISAs suggest that both tests can be used in epidemiological surveys for detection of antibodies to A. marginale in cattle.

Os objetivos deste trabalho foram avaliar os efeitos de faixas de guandu (Cajanus cajan) e da incorporação da biomassa proveniente de sua poda na fertilidade do solo e na produtividade de três hortaliças sob cultivo orgânico. O delineamento usado foi de blocos casualizados completos em esquema de parcelas subsubdivididas com três repetições. As produtividades de beterraba, cenoura e feijão-de-vagem não foram afetadas pelos tratamentos. Nas parcelas onde não houve incorporação da biomassa de guandu, o balanço de nitrogênio no sistema foi negativo, ao passo que com a incorporação, esse balanço foi positivo. Embora tenha ocorrido balanço positivo para o fósforo nas parcelas sem a incorporação de biomassa de guandu, houve um aumento significativo na absorção desse elemento pelas hortaliças quando o material foi incorporado. O sistema de cultivo em aléias de guandu pode representar uma prática vantajosa para os produtores orgânicos, por contribuir na manutenção da fertilidade do solo.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficiency of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) biomass incorporation to the soil as well as the effect of presence or absence of pigeonpea hedgerows on soil fertility and productivity of three vegetables, beet, carrot and dwarf green bean. Samples were randomly taken in a block design with three replications for each crop. In the field, no other fertilization treatment was applied. In plots without biomass incorporation, nitrogen showed negative balance, whereas in the field with biomass incorporation a high positive N-balance was found. Concerning phosphorus, positive balances were determined in plots without biomass incorporation, however, the uptake of P increased significantly after biomass incorporation in all crops used. The results indicate that pigeonpea alley cropping system may represent an advantageous option for organic farmers to maintain or to improve soil fertility.
