Aspectos metodológicos podem ser direta ou indiretamente responsáveis pela diferença entre dados obtidos com sujeitos não-humanos e participantes humanos quando submetidos a estudos sobre a formação de classes. O presente trabalho investigou o efeito do uso de reversões repetidas de discriminações simples na aquisição de comportamentos condizentes com a formação de classes funcionais de estímulos com Cebus apella em cativeiro. No Experimento I, dois macacos-prego foram submetidos a treino de repetidas reversões de discriminações simples simultâneas com seis pares de estímulos visuais em um contexto de forrageamento. Respostas nos estímulos (caixas de madeira de cores diferentes) designados como S+ eram consequenciadas por achar comida em seu interior. Um tipo diferente de comida para cada uma das duas classes potenciais de estímulos foi usado como reforço. Testes de formação de classes funcionais foram efetuados ao fim de repetidas reversões: Os testes consistiram na reversão de contingência para quatro (dois de cada classe potencial) dos seis estímulos (com os dois estímulos remanescentes ausentes) e reinserção dos estímulos ausentes após precisão de desempenho na reversão. A primeira escolha dos sujeitos frente ao par de estímulos reintroduzido era analisada: se a resposta fosse condizente com as contingências revertidas, então era considerada uma evidência de formação de classes. Múltiplos testes foram efetuados, cada vez com um par diferente de estímulos sendo removido. Em todos os testes o desempenho foi o previsto pela formação de classes de estímulos. No Experimento II, um dos sujeitos foi submetido a um treino onde a posição dos estímulos era alterada diariamente e os reforços específicos foram suspensos: um terceiro reforçador foi utilizado como conseqüência para ambos os grupos de estímulos. Depois de mudanças sucessivas nas contingências entre os dois grupos de estímulos, os mesmos testes descritos no Experimento I foram realizados. Nestes testes, entretanto, a posição das caixas também era alterada diariamente. O desempenho do sujeito nos testes também indica formação de classes.

O presente estudo investigou a possibilidade de ensinar dois cães domésticos (Canis familiaris) a responderem adequadamente a duas classes de três estímulos (caixas contendo pedaço de alimento quando com função positiva) através de um procedimento de mudanças sucessivas de discriminação simples (MSDS). A coleta de dados foi realizada em uma sala na qual duas, quatro ou seis caixas de madeira eram dispostas lado a lado, em posições fixas. Inicialmente, os sujeitos responderam a dois estímulos por sessão (um positivo[S+] e outro negativo[S-]), até que quatro das seis caixas apareciam com ambas as funções. Na fase seguinte, as quatro caixas foram apresentadas juntas, de maneira que duas caixas de uma classe eram S+ e as outras duas S-. Foram realizadas mudanças de função até que os sujeitos alcançassem o critério de aprendizagem em 11 de 12 sessões. Em seguida os sujeitos foram expostos a uma sessão ao reforçamento de respostas nas duas caixas ainda não utilizadas e depois a um treino de discriminação simples com as seis caixas. Foi realizado um teste consistindo em uma sessão de mudança com quatro caixas, após a qual eram re-inseridas as duas caixas restantes na sala experimental. Com os resultados negativos obtidos nesse teste, foi realizado um treino de MSDS com as seis caixas, após o qual o teste foi refeito. Ambos os sujeitos responderam adequadamente a todas as tentativas. Outros cinco testes foram realizados com as demais caixas, no mesmo formato do primeiro teste. Um sujeito respondeu adequadamente a dois desses cinco testes e o outro a três deles. Discute-se os efeitos da ênfase na discriminação visual e o uso de posições fixas das caixas sobre o desempenho dos sujeitos.

Regular physical activity can prevent and treat various diseases and non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity and cardiovascular disease. However, the prevalence of physical inactivity among adolescents in Rio Claro is 83%. Thus, it is necessary to encourage physical atividade through the community, especially parents and schools. The objective was to investigate the influence of two types of gym class in functional abilities in high school students in the city of Rio Claro-SP. Methodology: The study included 20 students from high school, 8 boys and 12 girls. The study took place in two high school halls of a public school in the city of Rio Claro. With the collaboration and participation in only 10 students in each room search reviews of all students occurred in mid-July in the year 2012 with the completion of the battery of tests and application of PAQ-C questionnaire at the beginning of classes of and after three months. All students were subjected to the test battery Eurofit. To compare the values of physical fitness for each type of class was held factorial ANOVA for repeated measures using SPSS and the level of physical activity was performed the Wilcoxon test. To compare the delta values (post-test-time time pre test every physical fitness) we performed the t test for all analyzes was adopted p <0.05 Classes G1 followed the schedule proposed by the state 's Notebook, where he worked subjects as body and beauty and its relationship with the media today, prevailing more conceptual classes than procedural . Unlike what has been developed with the G2 who had classes were focused on physical fitness and physical conditioning to increase the level of physical activity inside and outside the school environment . Result :The results from the data collected in this study indicate that physical fitness is not worked continuously or expressive within the Physical Education classes of high school to the population...

Bipolar disorder is characterized by mood impairment, alternating between mania/hypomania and depression, and its exact pathophysiology is already unknown. The treatment of bipolar disorder is based on prevention of the manic and depressive episodes using mood stabilizers. Nociceptin/orfanin FQ (N/OFQ) is an endogenous heptadecapeptide which binds as an agonist to NOP receptor, which is a G-coupled inhibitory receptor. N/OFQ and its receptor modulate a lot of functions in the organism, including emotional processes. It is known that the plasmatic concentration of N/OFQ is altered in patients in both phases depressive and manic of bipolar disorder and it is assumed that this system has a role on the etiology of this disorder. Concerning mania, the animal models used in research tend to focus in an unique aspect of the manic behavior, as hyperactivity or agressivity. In the 60’s, the hole board test was proposed, and it consists of an apparatus with holes where a behavior known as head-dippings is measured. High levels of head-dippings are suggestive of neophilia, while low levels can be characteristic of an anxious-like behavior. As the increase of exploratory and goal-directed behavior are characteristics of manic behavior, this test could help in mania research. Thus, this work was organized in 3 steps and aims to: (1) investigate the induction of a manic-like state promoted by ouabain, a Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor, in the mouse open field test; (2) set up the hole board as a test to measure manic-like behaviors; and (3) investigate the N/OFQ effects in prevention of this kind of behavior on hole board. Male Swiss mice were used in this study, and they take part of only one of the described steps. Depending on the step performed, mice received one or more of the following treatments: (1) ouabain 10-6 , 10-5 , 10-4 , 10-3 or 10-2 M, intracerebroventricular (icv); (2) sodium valproate 300 mg/kg, intraperitoneal (ip); (3) sodium valproate 400 mg/kg, ip; (4) diazepam 1 mg/kg, ip; (5) methylphenidate 10 mg/kg, ip; and (6) N/OFQ 0,1 or 1 nmol, icv. The results suggest that hole board can be used to evaluate a manic state, through analysis of different animal behaviors. However, it was not possible to standard the model of Na+ /K+ -ATPase dysfunction through ouabain administration in mice. Moreover, the data suggest that N/OFQ, at the doses tested, has not affected the methylphenidate-induced mania-like behavior. Taken together, the results point to a new approach of manic research, through the hole board using. However, more studies are necessary in order to verify the role of N/OFQ system on bipolar disorder.

Base excision repair (BER) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathways play critical role in maintaining genome integrity. Polymorphisms in BER and NER genes which modulate the DNA repair capacity may affect the susceptibility and prognosis of oral cancer. This study was conducted with genomic DNA from 92 patients with oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) and 130 controls. The cases were followed up to explore the associations between BER and NER genes polymorphisms and the risk and prognosis of OSCC. Four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in XRCC1 (rs25487), APEX1 (rs1130409), XPD (rs13181) and XPF (rs1799797) genes were tested by polymerase chain reaction – quantitative real time method. The GraphPad Prism version 6.0.1 statistical software was applied for statistical analysis of association. Odds ratio (OR), hazard ratio (HR), and their 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by logistic regression. Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox proportional hazard model were used for prognostic analysis. The presence of polymorphic variants in XRCC1, APEX1, XPD and XPF genes were not associated with an increased risk of OSCC. Gene-environment interactions with smoking were not significant for any polymorphism. The presence of polymorphic variants of the XPD gene in association with alcohol consumption conferred an increased risk of 1.86 (95% CI: 0.86 – 4.01, p=0.03) for OSCC. Only APEX1 was associated with decreased specific survival (HR 3.94, 95% CI: 1.31 – 11.88, p=0.01). These results suggest an interaction between polymorphic variants of the XPF gene and alcohol consumption. Additionally APEX1 may represent a prognostic marker for OSCC.

Scrotal circumference (SC) is a simple, non-invasive measurement commonly used to evaluate bull breeding potential although its validity as a predictor of fertility is questionable (Holroyd, 1998). SC is highly heritable but varies with breed and animal factors such as condition, live weight and age. As an indicator of fertility, recommended SC values range broadly from 30cm to 38cm (Miller, 1992). It is assumed that SC accurately reflects testes mass (TM) which may be related to direct measures of fertility such as spermatogenesis (Entwistle, 1992). The SC measurements made here test the assumption that SC, used to estimate testes volume (TV), is directly related to TM. Miller (1992) reported a value of 261mm as the SC threshold for puberty. We have studied serial SC measurements so as to devise a more accurate means of using SC to determine puberty.
