OBJECTIVES: This observational, cross-sectional study based aimed to test whether heart failure (HF)-disease management program (DMP) components are influencing care and clinical decision-making in Brazil. METHODS: The survey respondents were cardiologists recommended by experts in the field and invited to participate in the survey via printed form or email. The survey consisted of 29 questions addressing site demographics, public versus private infrastructure, HF baseline data of patients, clinical management of HF, performance indicators, and perceptions about HF treatment. RESULTS: Data were obtained from 98 centers (58% public and 42% private practice) distributed across Brazil. Public HF-DMPs compared to private HF-DMP were associated with a higher percentage of HF-DMP-dedicated services (79% vs 24%; OR: 12, 95% CI: 94-34), multidisciplinary HF (MHF)-DMP [84% vs 65%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-8), HF educational programs (49% vs 18%; OR: 4; 95% CI: 1-2), written instructions before hospital discharge (83% vs 76%; OR: 1; 95% CI: 0-5), rehabilitation (69% vs 39%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-9), monitoring (44% vs 29%; OR: 2; 95% CI: 1-5), guideline-directed medical therapy-HF use (94% vs 85%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 0-15), and less B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) dosage (73% vs 88%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-9), and key performance indicators (37% vs 60%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 1-7). In comparison to non- MHF-DMP, MHF-DMP was associated with more educational initiatives (42% vs 6%; OR: 12; 95% CI: 1-97), written instructions (83% vs 68%; OR: 2: 95% CI: 1-7), rehabilitation (69% vs 17%; OR: 11; 95% CI: 3-44), monitoring (47% vs 6%; OR: 14; 95% CI: 2-115), GDMT-HF (92% vs 83%; OR: 3; 95% CI: 0-15). In addition, there were less use of BNP as a biomarker (70% vs 84%; OR: 2; 95% CI: 1-8) and key performance indicators (35% vs 51%; OR: 2; 95% CI: 91,6) in the non-MHF group. Physicians considered changing or introducing new medications mostly when patients were hospitalized or when observing worsening disease and/or symptoms. Adherence to drug treatment and non-drug treatment factors were the greatest medical problems associated with HF treatment. CONCLUSION: HF-DMPs are highly heterogeneous. New strategies for HF care should consider the present study highlights and clinical decision-making processes to improve HF patient care.

Abstract The spittlebugs Mahanarva spectabilis economically challenges cattle production of neotropical regions, due to its voracious feeding on tropical grasses. Here, we evaluated biochemical responses of the interaction between M. spectabilis and the widely cultivated tropical grasses Brachiaria spp. (i.e., brizantha and decumbens) and elephant grasses (cvs. Roxo de Botucatu and Pioneiro), regarding lipoxygenases, protease inhibitors, phytohormones, and proteolytic activities in the midgut of M. spectabilis. The M. spectabilis-infested grasses increased lipoxygenases activity, except for cv. Pioneiro. The levels of the phytohormones jasmonic and abscisic acids were similarly low in all genotypes and increased under herbivory. Furthermore, salicylic acid concentration was constitutively higher in Brachiaria sp., increasing only in spittlebug-infested B. decumbens. M. spectabilis infestations did not induce increases of protease inhibitors in any forage grass type. The trypsin activity remained unaltered, and the total proteolytic activity increased only in B. decumbens-fed insects. Our findings revealed that most forage grasses exposed to spittlebugs activate the lipoxygenases pathway, resulting in increased abscisic and jasmonic acids. However, greater amounts of these hormones do not induce protease inhibitory activity in response to spittlebug attack. This knowledge certainly helps to guide future projects aiming at reducing the impact of spittlebugs on forage production.

OBJECTIVES: To prospectively evaluate demographic, anthropometric and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in pediatric patients with laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) METHODS: This was a longitudinal observational study of surviving pediatric post-COVID-19 patients (n=53) and pediatric subjects without laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 included as controls (n=52) was performed. RESULTS: The median duration between COVID-19 diagnosis (n=53) and follow-up was 4.4 months (0.8-10.7). Twenty-three of 53 (43%) patients reported at least one persistent symptom at the longitudinal follow-up visit and 12/53 (23%) had long COVID-19, with at least one symptom lasting for >12 weeks. The most frequently reported symptoms at the longitudinal follow-up visit were headache (19%), severe recurrent headache (9%), tiredness (9%), dyspnea (8%), and concentration difficulty (4%). At the longitudinal follow-up visit, the frequencies of anemia (11% versus 0%, p=0.030), lymphopenia (42% versus 18%, p=0.020), C-reactive protein level of >30 mg/L (35% versus 0%, p=0.0001), and D-dimer level of >1000 ng/mL (43% versus 6%, p=0.0004) significantly reduced compared with baseline values. Chest X-ray abnormalities (11% versus 2%, p=0.178) and cardiac alterations on echocardiogram (33% versus 22%, p=0.462) were similar at both visits. Comparison of characteristic data between patients with COVID-19 at the longitudinal follow-up visit and controls showed similar age (p=0.962), proportion of male sex (p=0.907), ethnicity (p=0.566), family minimum monthly wage (p=0.664), body mass index (p=0.601), and pediatric pre-existing chronic conditions (p=1.000). The Pediatric Quality of Live Inventory 4.0 scores, median physical score (69 [0-100] versus 81 [34-100], p=0.012), and school score (60 [15-100] versus 70 [15-95], p=0.028) were significantly lower in pediatric patients with COVID-19 at the longitudinal follow-up visit than in controls. CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric patients with COVID-19 showed a longitudinal impact on HRQoL parameters, particularly in physical/school domains, reinforcing the need for a prospective multidisciplinary approach for these patients. These data highlight the importance of closer monitoring of children and adolescents by the clinical team after COVID-19.

Over the last few years, researchers have started to explore a particular class of compounds defined as ionic liquids (ILs) in attempts to use their unique characteristics. Since ILs have a very low vapor pressure, these fascinating compounds hold great potential as high performance chemicals for several applications in the (bio)pharmaceutical industry. In general, and unlike common organic solvents with comparable polarities, ILs are quite compatible with enzymes (enhancing their structural and chemical stability) and other proteins, since they can promote higher selectivities, faster reaction rates and greater enzyme stabilities in biocatalytic reactions providing, at the same time, a path for the structural and functional stabilization of protein entities. ILs appear to enhance the delivery of macromolecules, particularly protein entities, and their interactions with ILs will be tackled in detail in this review paper.

RESUMO O uso de porta-enxertos resistentes é um dos métodos mais efetivos para o controle de patógenos de solo em cultivos de tomateiro. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a reação de acessos de Solanum stramonifolium a Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) raças 2 e 3 e a Meloidogyne enterolobii (Me). As mudas foram formadas em bandejas e inoculadas separadamente com Fol raças 2 e 3 aos 50 dias após o semeio, mediante imersão das raízes em suspensão de esporos (1×106 microconídios mL-1). Em seguida, essas mudas foram transplantadas para vasos contendo solo esterilizado. Para a inoculação do nematoide, foram utilizadas plantas com 27 DAS, transplantadas para vasos e inoculadas com 6.000 ovos e juvenis de segundo estádio. As avaliações foram realizadas aos 34 (Fol) e aos 64 (Me) dias após a inoculação. O experimento foi realizado em delineamento de blocos casualizados com cinco repetições, em que cada parcela foi composta por um vaso com três plantas (Fol) e um vaso com uma planta (Me). As testemunhas suscetíveis a Fol raças 2 e 3 e a Me apresentaram 100% de incidência. Todos os acessos foram resistentes a Fol raça 2, enquanto os acessos CNPH-19, CNPH-22, CNPH-23, CNPH-25, CNPH-120, CNPH-122 e CNPH-349 apresentaram resistência múltipla aos patógenos, indicando grande potencial para uso como porta enxertos resistentes. Os acessos CNPH-24, CNPH-119, CNPH-121 e CNPH-336 também apresentaram resistência ao nematoide. Contudo, estes acessos apresentaram leves sintomas de escurecimento nos tecidos vasculares quando inoculados com Fol raça 3. Este sintoma também foi observado nos acessos CNPH-21, CNPH-107 e CNPH-117. Os demais acessos apresentaram resistência a Fol raça 3 e suscetibilidade a Me.
ABSTRACT Resistant rootstocks is one of the most effective method to control soilborne pathogens in tomato crops. Thus, this study was installed to evaluate the reaction of Solanum stramonifolium accesses to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol) races 2 and 3 and to Meloidogyne enterolobii (Me). The seedlings were grown in trays and inoculated separately with Fol races 2 and 3 at 50 days after planting by immersing the roots in the spore suspension (1×106 microconidia mL-1). Then, seedlings were transplanted in pots containing sterilized soil and kept in greenhouse conditions. To study the reaction of S. stramonifolium accesses to nematodes, we used 27-day old seedlings that were also planted in pots and inoculated with 6,000 eggs and second-stage juveniles in greenhouse conditions. The experiments were evaluated in the 34th day (Fol) and in the 64th day (Me) after inoculation. The experiment consisted of a randomized block design with five replications, where each plot consisted of one pot with three plants (Fol) and one pot with one plant (Me). We observed that the plants used as controls, susceptible to Fol races 2 and 3 and Me, presented 100% of incidence. All accesses were resistant to Fol race 2 and the accesses CNPH-19, CNPH-22, CNPH-23, CNPH-25, CNPH-120, CNPH-122 and CNPH-349 presented multiple resistance to pathogens, indicating great potential for using as resistant rootstock. The CNPH-24, CNPH-119, CNPH-121 and CNPH-336 accesses also presented resistance to nematode. However, they presented slight browning symptoms of vascular tissues when they were inoculated with Fol race 3. This symptom was also observed in the CNPH-21, CNPH-107 and CNPH-117 accesses. All other accesses were resistance to Fol race 3 and susceptible to Me.

Objective: Eating disorders are an increasingly prevalent health problem among adolescent girls. It is well known that biological, psychosocial, and family-related factors interact in the development of this group of disorders. However, the mechanisms underlying the interaction between these variables are still poorly understood, especially in Portuguese adolescents. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between eating behaviors, body dissatisfaction, self-esteem, and perfectionism in a sample of Portuguese girls. Method: A community sample of 575 Portuguese girls attending secondary school, answered self-report questionnaires including data on weight, height, and the Portuguese versions of the Contour Figures Rating Scale, the Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale, the Children Eating Attitudes Test, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. SPSS version 20.0 for Windows was used for statistical analyses. Results: High scores in the Children Eating Attitudes Test were associated with significantly higher levels of body dissatisfaction (r = 0.339), socially prescribed perfectionism (r = 0.175), self-oriented perfectionism (r = 0.211), and low self-esteem (r = -0.292) (all p < 0.001). Self-oriented perfectionism partially mediated the relation between body dissatisfaction and disordered eating behaviors. Conclusion: In this sample, dysfunctional eating behaviors appeared to correlate strongly with body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and perfectionism in girls. These themes should be addressed among female adolescents in the community.

Resumo: Mycoplasma gallisepticum cepa F (MG-F) é altamente utilizada em vacinação de poedeiras. MG-F confere bons níveis de proteção às galinhas, deslocando MG de campo ou diminuindo o número deles no trato respiratório. Soroaglutinação Rápida (SAR), ELISA e PCR são testes no monitoramento da micoplasmose, enquanto a histopatologia, mesmo não sendo rotineira, é usada para avaliar a resposta das aves à infecção por MG. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a transmissibilidade, soroconversão e alterações teciduais de MG-F em galinhas. Um total de 100 galinhas SPF foi utilizado, sendo 40 delas não vacinadas (G1), 40 vacinadas na 8ª semana de idade com MG-F (Ceva Saúde Animal, São Paulo/SP, Brasil) (G2) e 20 imunizadas por contato com aves do G2 (G3). Soros e suabes traqueais foram obtidos na 8ª, 12ª, 15ª, 18ª, 20ª, 24ª semana para monitoramento por SAR, ELISA e PCR. Fragmentos de traqueia e saco aéreo, para microscopia, foram feitas após necropsias na 15ª e 24ª semana. Até a 12ª semana não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos pela SAR. Houve reação a SAR a partir da 15ª semana com as seguintes médias: G1 (1,7; 1,76; 0,1; 0,15), G2 (7,81; 7,65; 8,25; 6,29) e G3 (8,1; 8,5; 9,5; 6,16), enquanto por ELISA a soroconversão ocorreu a partir da 18ª semana com médias de densidades óticas de G1 (0,19; 0,14; 0,16), G2 (0,47; 0,45; 0,41) e G3 (0,55; 0,51; 0,51). Todas as aves do G3 apresentaram positividade pela PCR sete semanas após exposição. Não houve diferença significativa entre as medias dos escores de saco aéreo entre os grupos, na 15ª semana (0,20; 0,55; 0,32) e 24ª semana (0,15; 0,80 e 0,66). Em relação à traqueia, G2 apresentou média maior na 15ª semana (0,48) que G3 (0,00) e G1 (0,10). Alterações em G3 foram observadas somente na 24ª semana onde as médias foram de 0,08(G1); 0,46 (G2) e 1,00 (G3), havendo significância (p<0,05) entre G1 e G3. SAR e PCR foram capazes de detectar a transmissão de MG-F de forma precoce em relação ao ELISA. Em relação ao G1 (controle negativo) as reações teciduais para os grupos vacinados foram mais intensas na 24ª semana, o que tudo indica sendo resposta à vacinação.
Abstract: MG-F protects chickens from MG Mycoplasmosis and monitoring is done by serology (SAR and ELISA) and PCR. Histopathology is used to evaluate bird response to MG. This study evaluated MG-F profile vaccination in SPF chicken. This trial used 100 chickens, being 40 unvaccinated (G1), 40 eye-drop vaccinated at 8 weeks of age with MG-F ( Ceva Animal Health , São Paulo , SP , Brazil ) (G2) and 20 immunized by contact (G3) . Samples were obtained on the 8th, 12th, 15th, 18th, 20th and 24th week for SAR, ELISA and PCR. Fragments of trachea and air sac, for microscopy, were got after necropsies on the 15th and 24th week. Up to 12 weeks there was no significant difference among groups by SAR. SAR reactions appeared from the 15th week with these averages: G1 (1.7, 1.76 , 0.1, 0.15) , G2 (7.81, 7.65, 8.25, 6.29) and G3 (8.1, 8.5, 9.5, 6.16), while by ELISA it occurred after the 18th week with optical densities averages: G1 (0.19, 0.14, 0.16) , G2 (0.47, 0.45, 0.41) and G3 (0.55, 0.51, 0.51) . Positivity in G3 by PCR occurred seven weeks after exposure. At the 15th week the air sac score means were 0.20, 0.55, and 0.32 and 24th week were 0.15, 0.80 and 0.66 (p>0.05). For trachea, G2 (0.48) yielded higher score average than G1 (0.10) and G3 (0.00) on the 15th week. Changes in G3 were seen only at 24th week, being this average (1.00) significantly different (p<0,05) from G1 (0.08) and G2 (0.46). SAR and PCR detected MG-F in G3 earlier than ELISA. Higher tracheal changes for G2 and G3 as compared to G1 could be ascribed to MG-F vaccine infection.

Resumo Um levantamento atualizado das plantas com sementes e análises relevantes acerca desta biodiversidade são apresentados. Este trabalho se iniciou em 2010 com a publicação do Catálogo de Plantas e Fungos e, desde então vem sendo atualizado por mais de 430 especialistas trabalhando online. O Brasil abriga atualmente 32.086 espécies nativas de Angiospermas e 23 espécies nativas de Gimnospermas e estes novos dados mostram um aumento de 3% da riqueza em relação a 2010. A Amazônia é o Domínio Fitogeográfico com o maior número de espécies de Gimnospermas, enquanto que a Floresta Atlântica possui a maior riqueza de Angiospermas. Houve um crescimento considerável no número de espécies e nas taxas de endemismo para a maioria dos Domínios (Caatinga, Cerrado, Floresta Atlântica, Pampa e Pantanal), com exceção da Amazônia que apresentou uma diminuição de 2,5% de endemicidade. Entretanto, a maior parte das plantas com sementes que ocorrem no Brasil (57,4%) é endêmica deste território. A proporção de formas de vida varia de acordo com os diferentes Domínios: árvores são mais expressivas na Amazônia e Floresta Atlântica do que nos outros biomas, ervas são dominantes no Pampa e as lianas apresentam riqueza expressiva na Amazônia, Floresta Atlântica e Pantanal. Este trabalho não só quantifica a biodiversidade brasileira, mas também indica as lacunas de conhecimento e o desafio a ser enfrentado para a conservação desta flora.
Abstract An updated inventory of Brazilian seed plants is presented and offers important insights into the country's biodiversity. This work started in 2010, with the publication of the Plants and Fungi Catalogue, and has been updated since by more than 430 specialists working online. Brazil is home to 32,086 native Angiosperms and 23 native Gymnosperms, showing an increase of 3% in its species richness in relation to 2010. The Amazon Rainforest is the richest Brazilian biome for Gymnosperms, while the Atlantic Rainforest is the richest one for Angiosperms. There was a considerable increment in the number of species and endemism rates for biomes, except for the Amazon that showed a decrease of 2.5% of recorded endemics. However, well over half of Brazillian seed plant species (57.4%) is endemic to this territory. The proportion of life-forms varies among different biomes: trees are more expressive in the Amazon and Atlantic Rainforest biomes while herbs predominate in the Pampa, and lianas are more expressive in the Amazon, Atlantic Rainforest, and Pantanal. This compilation serves not only to quantify Brazilian biodiversity, but also to highlight areas where there information is lacking and to provide a framework for the challenge faced in conserving Brazil's unique and diverse flora.

This study aimed to characterize the resistance of 31 passion fruit (Passiflora sp.) genotypes to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. passiflorae (FOP). About 20 seedlings of each genotype were inoculated by immersing the roots in a suspension of 10(6) macroconidia mL-1 for five minutes and then transplanting them into pots containing a mixture of soil and sterile substrate. They were evaluated daily for 120 days for the occurrence of wilt symptoms and death. These data were used to calculate the area under the disease progress curve, for survival analysis and grouping. The mortality rate ranged from 0 to 100% and the AUDPC ranged from 0 for genotypes without symptoms of the disease to 6,650.63 for the hybrid HFOP-01. Genotypes were classified into four subgroups: resistant, moderately resistant, susceptible and highly susceptible. The resistance was genotype dependent, but no significant variation was found between the purple and the yellow P. edulis.

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. passiflorae W.L. Gordon (FOP) is one of the most important fungal pathogens of passion fruits. Understanding molecular variation of isolates from different areas is of utmost importance. Molecular fingerprinting on 14 isolates of FOP were conducted using AFLP molecular markers (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism), and their genetic variability were estimated. Twenty-five AFLP primer combinations were selected for amplification of FOP isolates and one for Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense W.C. Snyder & H.N. Hansen (FOC), resulting in 99% polymorphic fragments, with an average of 40 fragments per primer combination. Specific fingerprints could be generated for most of the isolates evaluated; we observed a high power of discrimination of the AFLP primer combinations, with the presence/absence of up to 26 specific fragments per isolate. Thus, specific fingerprinting was obtained for 10 of the 15 isolates analyzed. The values of the polymorphic information content, the index and the resolving power of the markers showed wide variation and reflected the high informative contents of the primers used in the characterization of the FOP isolates. The FOP isolates were divided into four groups, irrespective of their geographic origins, with the allocation of 5, 7, 1 and 1 FOP isolates into Groups II, III, IV and V, respectively. A wide genetic diversity was observed in FOP isolates, which should be taken into consideration when implementing strategies for the improvement of passion fruit in the search for cultivars with multiple resistance to different isolates.

A contaminação por metais em 47 amostras de sedimentos (fração < 63 µm) coletadas em 13 pontos de pesca no reservatório Billings foi avaliada utilizando quatro metodologias: normas de qualidade de sedimentos (SQG S), índice de geoacumulação (I Geo), índice de poluição metálica (MPI) e análises estatísticas. Somente Fe e Co parecem estar associados com a composição natural do sedimento ou processos de intemperismo natural, enquanto Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn mostraram aumento em suas concentrações, sugerindo associação com fontes antropogênicas. MPI identificou as áreas mais críticas em relação à concentração total de metais enquanto I Geo identificou o metal específico para cada área. A sazonalidade sobre os níveis dos metais foi avaliada usando análise de variância (ANOVA) e gráfico de caixa. Somente o gráfico de caixa sugeriu um pequeno aumento na contaminação por Hg and Pb durante o período com muita chuva e também indicou altas concentrações de Cu e Zn em um dos pontos analisados com a incidência de valores fora do normal e extremos. Portanto, políticas ambientais devem ser adotadas para reduzir a contaminação por metais.
Four approaches were applied to evaluate the metal contamination in 47 sediment samples (< 63 µm fraction) collected at 13 fishing points of the Billings Reservoir: sediment quality guidelines (SQGs), geoaccumulation index (I Geo), metal pollution index (MPI) and statistical analyses. Only Fe and Co concentrations seemed to be associated with crustal material or natural weathering processes, while Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn showed increases in their concentrations, which seemed to be associated with anthropogenic sources. MPI identified the most critical sites in relation to the total metal accumulation while I Geo identified the specific metal accumulation for each site. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and box plot method were performed to evaluate seasonal effects on the metal levels. Only box plot suggested a slight increase in Hg and Pb contamination during heavy rainy periods and also indicated high concentrations of Cu and Zn in one of the analyzed point, with incidence of outliers and extreme values. Thus, an environmental policy in order to reduce these metal contaminations must be adopted.

Wistar rats (n=20) were divided in two groups: G1 received 2 mg/kg of GBE (Ginkgo biloba extract 761), whereas G2 received the same volume of a sodium chloride solution (0.9%), both for 10 days. After a 7-day interval, the treatment was repeated for 8 days. Urine volume and food and water intake were measured daily during this protocol. Histological assessments were performed. No significant difference (p>0.05) was observed in food and water intake of animals during treatment with GBE. Animals who received GBE had a smaller urine volume and increase of weight with a significance difference (p<0.05) during the first and second exposure period. No histological alteration was observed in tissues, except for the kidney of the experimental group, which revealed a higher concentration of red cells in the glomerulus with a strong staining for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). The introduction of GBE (therapeutic dose) in health rats may promote alterations in the physiology of the kidney, but no sufficient to modify the glomerulus architecture, including at ultra structural level (electron microscopy).

PURPOSE: To evaluate if the expression of metalloproteinase, collagen I and III are related to Gleason score, preoperative PSA and pathological stage in prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Our study group included radical prostatectomy specimens of 33 patients with prostatic adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery from 2001 to 2009. Patients were divided into 3 groups: Gleason score=6 (13 patients), Gleason score=7 (10 patients), Gleason score>8 (10 patients). The control group included prostates of patients submitted to cystoprostatectomy and benign prostatic tissues adjacent to the cancer area. Specific areas of tissues were selected under microscope and further processed for collagen I and III analysis by real time PCR. In addition, 10 deparaffined sections of each group were used to evaluate collagen I, III and metalloproteinase immune expression. The results were correlated with Gleason score, preoperative PSA and pathological stage. RESULTS: We found significant difference in both collagen I and III gene expression between benign and tumoral areas in the prostate samples from Gleason score=6 (collagen I=0.4±0.2 vs 5±2.4, p<0.05; collagen III=0.2±0.06 vs 0.7±0.1, p<0.05) and Gleason score>8 (collagen I=8±3.4 vs 1.4±0.8, p<0.07; collagen III=1.8±0.5 vs 0.6±0.1, p<0.05). There was no correlation of collagen expression with Gleason score, preoperative PSA or pathological stage. There was a positive correlation between metalloproteinase expression and Gleason score (r²=0.47). CONCLUSIONS: The positive correlation between metalloproteinase expression and Gleason score suggests that metalloproteinase could be a promising factor to improve Gleason score evaluation. Its expression and regulation do not seem to be related with collagen degradation.

A Mauritia flexuosa (buriti) é considerada espécie-chave no ambiente de veredas, sendo escassas as informações sobre sua estrutura populacional para subsidiar a elaboração de estratégias de manejo e conservação. Neste trabalho são avaliadas seis populações da espécie em áreas de veredas com diferentes graus de antropização nos municípios de Bela Vista de Goiás, Silvânia e São Miguel do Passa Quatro, GO, na região nuclear do Cerrado brasileiro. Foram coletados dados de altura de 584 indivíduos, desde plântulas até adultos, sendo amostrados 100 indivíduos por população, com exceção de uma, para a qual foram amostrados 84 indivíduos. A maioria das populações estudadas apresentou curvas de distribuição dos indivíduos em classes de altura em forma de J invertido, característica de populações autorregenerativas. A maior proporção de indivíduos mortos ocorreu no menor intervalo de classe de altura, com a maior expectativa de vida no intervalo de classe de altura entre 3,5 m e 7 m.
Mauritia flexuosa (buriti palm) is considered a key species in the swampy environment and little is known about their population structure to support its management and conservation strategies. This work investigated six populations of this species, from swampy areas with different degrees of human disturbance in the municipality of Bela Vista de Goiás, Silvânia and São Miguel do Passa Quatro, GO, in the nuclear region of the Brazilian Cerrado, a savannah-like vegetation. Plant height data were collected from 584 individuals, from seedlings to adults, with 100 sampled individuals per population, excluding one, in which 84 individuals were sampled. Most of the studied populations showed distribution of individuals in plant height classes according to expected inverted-J shaped curve, a self-regenerating population characteristic. The highest proportion of dead individuals occurred in the first height class and the highest life expectancy occurred in the height class with interval from 3.5 m to 7.0 m.
