The discovering process of new morbid genes and new target proteins for drugs have been shown to be very costly and laborious. Having in view cutting costs and speeding up this process, we propose, in this work, a new method to determine the gene druggability score and morbidity score, the probabilities of the protein encoded by the gene have the characteristics that make it a new target for drugs and in case of an alteration in that gene, we observed a phenotype that characterizes a genetic based illness. To determine these characteristics, we built, analyzed and determined the characteristics of the topology of the integrated molecular interactions network among human genes containing physical interactions between proteins, metabolic interactions and interactions of transcriptional regulation, and included other data such as level of gene transcription and cellular localization of the protein encoded by the gene. We tested our model in training sets and achieved results equal or better than the ones achieved by similar methods in the literature. Finally, with the purpose of investigating whether the assigned scores resembles the potential druggabilities and morbities of the previously unclassi ed genes, we looked for evidences in biomedical literature supporting the potential druggability and morbidity status of genes with the 10 highest scores. We found clear evidences for 73% and 90% of potential druggable and morbid genes respectively

Níveis elevados de agressividade estão diretamente relacionados ao crescimento heterogêneo e ao canibalismo, podendo levar a perdas significativas na produção no setor da aquicultura. Uma alternativa para redução da agressividade poderia ser o aumento da produção de serotonina por meio da suplementação dietética com o aminoácido triptofano (TRP). A serotonina é um neurotransmissor que regula diversos processos comportamentais, dentre eles, a agressividade e o estresse. Assim, neste estudo avaliamos o efeito da suplementação dietética com triptofano TRP no comportamento agressivo em juvenis de tilápia-do-Nilo. Os peixes foram mantidos em aquários individuais durante sete dias e alimentados uma vez ao dia “ad libitum” com as dietas: T1(controle: 0,32% de TRP), T2 (1,28% de TRP) e T3 (2,56% de TRP). O índice de agressividade foi avaliado com base na resposta do peixe à sua imagem no espelho. Contabilizamos o número de ataques (mordidas) à imagem de um espelho posicionado em uma das laterais do aquário durante vinte minutos. Os peixes alimentados com T3 apresentaram menor frequência de mordidas (P = 0,010849) durante o período de observação, em comparação ao grupo controle. Concluímos que a dieta contendo 25,6mg/g TRP altera a agressividade em juvenis de tilápia-do-Nilo e que a rações suplementadas com TRP podem ser uma estratégia eficiente no manejo de pisciculturas. Também avaliamos os efeitos do TRP exógeno na ansiedade (teste do objeto novo) e estresse (teste do confinamento) em juvenis da tilápia-do-Nilo, porém não houve diferenças significativas entre os tratamentos

This article aims to present the results of a research about the links among homophobia, subjectivation processes and constructions of gender and sexual identities in a small city in the interior of São Paulo State. The main research question that guided us was: how homophobia regulates the desire and the “transit between the closets” among the so called gay people in a small city? To answer that question we made interviews that were analyzed and transformed into narratives of four cisgender men of different ages who call themselves homosexual or who have had homoerotic practices with other men. All participants live in the same city, do not know one another and have lived most of their lives city. We have problematized how these participants gave meaning to the experiences of regulation of their sexuality that have been aroused by homophobia and by the device of closet. Analyses indicated that the 'closet' can both regulate and oversee their lives, limiting their possibilities of desiring, but also may raise resistance, from which it is possible to establish a relationship with another ethical life, that is, producing other ways of life in the small city.

The BCL2 protein found in the internal mothocondrial membrana regulates the apoptosis preventing the programmed cell death. The translocation (14:18), detected in 70 to 85% of the follicular lymphoma, lead the super expression of BCL2 protein, by juxtaposition of BCL2 gene to the JH segment of the immunoglobulins' heavy chain gene. However, the found of the BCL2 expression in head and neck carcinoma are contradictious. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the presence of the translocation (14:18) of the BCL2 gene in head and neck carcinoma. METHOD: Sixteen DNA samplers were examinated being 13 of squamous cells carcinoma (SCC) and 3 of epidermoid (CE), y means of chain reaction of the polymerase (PCR). RESULTS: The BCL2/JH rearrangement in 2 (15%) of the CCE 13 cases and in none of the 3 cases of CE. The average of the frequency of molecules with rearrangement was 46,44x107. Was not observed association between the rearrangement presence and the exhibition to tobacco and alcohol (p=0, 6545). CONCLUSION: Different from the results found in follicular lymphoma, the presence of the translocation (14; 18) in head and neck carcinomas is not common and, when it occurs, it can be an occasional mutation not associated to exhibition to the tobacco and alcohol.
