Aortic regurgitation (AR) is still common in developing countries as secondary of rheumatic fever, and its incidence have increased in senile degenerative form. The AR develops severe myocardial hypertrophy. A common comorbidity associated with cardiovascular disease is depression. Among the most prescribed antidepressants in the world are the serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Central serotonergic pathways are involved with the inhibition of sodium intake and can be modify the excretion of this íon. Therefore, we investigated whether treatment with an antidepressants SSRI, the paroxetine, for four weeks can modfy the behavior of water and NaCl 0,3M intake, excretion of sodium and morphofunctional parameters of rats with AR induce. Wistar rats (280 - 300g) underwent surgery for AR (n=15) or control surgery (n=14). The AR was induced by retrograde puncture of valve leaflets. The animals were divided into 4 groups: AR + paroxetine (n=8), AR + control (n=7), control + paroxetine (n=7), control + control (n=7). From the 4th to the 8th week after inductuin of AR was administered paroxetine (10mg/kg pc) daily and subcutaneously. In the 4th and 8th week after induction of AR echocardiograms were performed to collect data morphofunctional. During the 4 weeks of treatment were analyzed intake of water and saline daily and once a week urine samples were collected for analysis by flame photometer of excretion of sodium and potassium. In the 10th week the animals were submitted to a challenge protocol hidromineral by combining furosemide (10 mg / kg bw) associated with the low dose of Captopril (5 mg / kg bw). During the challenged urine samples were collected for analysis by flame photometer of excretion of sodium and potassium at the time zero and after 2 hours of treatment. As a result we found that treatment with paroxetine in rats with AR determined an improvement in fractional shortening (shortening fraction: 52.7 ± 2.2% vs. RA ...

The substitution of diesel by biodiesel meets the current scenario to increase the consumption of alternative energy sources promoting sustainable development of a country. However, the production of biodiesel concurrently generates the formation of glycerine in the process is a by-product. The main application of glycerine is in the food industry, cosmetics, soaps, pharmaceuticals, among others, but these segments are not capable of absorbing the generated volume of glycerine, whereas the total volume of the biodiesel produced about 10% correspond to glycerine. Glycerine obtained from the transesterification reaction (necessary for production of biodiesel) triglycerides and alcohol contains certain impurities such as water, salts, esters, alcohol, and residual oil, which decrease the value. Thus, the purification process or the direct use of glycerine become essential to make it competitive biodiesel production process. This work aims to evaluate the different processes of purification and the use of glycerine obtained as by-product in the production of biodiesel. The research was theoretical, based on technical articles and theses published on this subject, and from these databases was established a summary of the most important processes

A anemia falciforme (AF) é a doença hematológica hereditária crônica de maior prevalência no Brasil, causada por uma mutação pontual no gene da β-globina, levando as hemácias a adquirirem formato de foice quando em estado desoxigenado. Essa alteração estrutural causa aumento da adesão celular, hipóxia local, vaso-oclusão e alterações na coagulação. O quadro clínico dos pacientes é diversificado, predominando a dor causada pelo processo inflamatório agudo e crônico, além de complicações que podem ocasionar infarto de tecidos e órgãos, levando à morte. O único fármaco aprovado pelo FDA disponível para o tratamento da doença é a hidroxiuréia (HU), mas, devido a sua toxicidade, têm sido intensificadas as buscas por novas possibilidades terapêuticas. O fator de necrose tumoral alfa (TNF-α) é uma citocina pró-inflamatória presente em grande quantidade nos pacientes portadores da doença, e o óxido nítrico pode contribuir para vasodilatação e proteção vascular. Assim, propôs-se a síntese e avaliação farmacológica de candidatos a fármacos para o tratamento da AF, desenhados com o propósito de apresentar propriedades inibidoras do TNF-α e doadoras de óxido nítrico (NO). Foi avaliada a estabilidade química dos compostos sintetizados, em água, pH 1,2 e pH 7,4, sendo o Composto II o mais estável tanto em pH ácido como em água. Em pH básico, todos os compostos se mostraram instáveis. Os compostos III e VI apresentaram uma maior inibição da agregação plaquetária, atividade também atribuída à capacidade de doação de NO. O composto III foi o único a mostrar-se inibidor de TNF-α e IL-1β, em todas as concentrações avaliadas, e, também, mostrou-se inibidor de NO, no teste induzido por LPS. Diante de todos os ensaios realizados, o composto III é o mais promissor candidato a fármaco, entre os compostos sintetizados, para o tratamento dos sintomas da anemia falciforme.

Water and soil pollution caused by the waste from the swine production causes severe environmental impacts in producing areas. An efficient alternative to reduce these impacts can be the use of high-rate anaerobic reactors. In this work, it was evaluated the effect of the swine wastewater with total suspended solids concentrations around 6.000 mg.L-1 in the anaerobic baffled reactor with three compartments. The volume of the first compartment was 210 L and of the second and third ones of 160 L. The anaerobic baffled reactor was submitted at hydraulic detention times of 56, 28 and 18 hours and to organic load rates of 5.0 to 10.1 g total COD (L.d)(-1). The highest total COD removals, of 42 to 68%, and volumetric methane productions, of 0.261 to 0.454 L CH4 (L reactor d)(-1), occurred in the second compartment.
