The Casearia genus (Salicaceae) is well known because of the medicinal use of its species. Among them, a noteworthy one is the C. sylvestris specie because it already has studies concerning its antiproliferative and/or cytotoxic activity in tumor cells. Furthermore, this specie is popularly used against snake bites, in gastric ulcers treatment and as anti-inflammatory. As well as this, there are other species from this same genus which have been poorly studied, such as the following species: C. decandra, C. grandiflora, C. javitensis, C. arborea, C. lasiophylla and C. ulmifolia. However, several biological activities have been reported for them. In this context, the aim of this project, besides of contributing to the Casearia genus studies, is to study those six species through the analysis and documentation of their leaves' chemical composition (aqueous, ethanolic and hexanic extracts), using analytical separation techniques coupled with spectroscopic techniques, such as UHPLC-DAD, GC-MS and NMR 1H, which will assist the identification of new secondary metabolites in this genus. Moreover, another goal of this present work is aiming the bioprospection of substances with medicinal and economical potential and finally promote the systematic study of some biological activities, such as antimicrobial and cytotoxicity bioassays. A wide variety of metabolites was identified in those three types of extracts, being most of them detected for the first time in Casearia genus, highlighting C. lasiophylla and C. decandra for featuring antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.

OBJETIVO: Embora sejam freqüentes os estudos epidemiológicos trazendo informações ocupacionais obtidas em entrevistas com familiares de trabalhadores, há poucos trabalhos analisando a validade dessas informações, sendo nenhum deles realizados em países em desenvolvimento. Objetivou-se estudar a validade do uso de informações ocupacionais obtidas de informantes secundários em estudos epidemiológicos, pela análise de concordância entre histórias ocupacionais obtidas em entrevistas independentes com os próprios trabalhadores e seus familiares. MÉTODOS: A história ocupacional de trabalhadores, residentes no Município de Botucatu, SP, em 1998, foi obtida por entrevistas com os próprios trabalhadores e com os familiares próximos. Calcularam-se a sensibilidade e a especificidade das informações ocupacionais dos familiares, considerando-se padrão-ouro a informação do trabalhador. Avaliou-se a concordância dos pares de informação pelo coeficiente Kappa. RESULTADOS: Foram entrevistados 2.163 pares trabalhador/familiar. A sensibilidade da informação ocupacional dos familiares variou entre 77,5% (IC95%; 64,6% -- 90,4%) e 98,9% (97,3% -- 100,0%), enquanto a especificidade variou entre 96,9% (96,0% -- 97,7%) e 99,9% (99,7% -- 100,0%). O coeficiente Kappa para a concordância da informação ocupação principal, segundo as duas fontes, foi de 0,86 (0,85 -- 0,88). CONCLUSÕES: A utilização de informações ocupacionais obtidas de informantes secundários, se tratadas como variáveis categóricas, tem validade. Utilizando-se informações relativas a tempos acumulados de trabalho, concluiu-se que informantes secundários subestimam os tempos de exposição quando comparados com os próprios trabalhadores.

The objective of this work was to determine the plasma concentrations of cortisol, thyroid hormone, lipids metabolites and corporal temperature or lactating Alpine goats submitted to heat stress. Six lactating Alpine goats were allotted randomly in a crossover experimental design for two groups: thermoneutral conditions or thermal stress. An adaptation period of 28 days was followed by Four-periods of 14 days each, when the animals submitted to thermal stress were exposed to the average temperature of 33.84 degrees C; THI of 86.20; BGT of 36.18 and BT of 32.11 degrees C from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, including simulated solar radiation from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. There were no differences between the groups in the plasma concentrations of cortisol, thyroid hormones (T-3-triiodothyronine and T-(4) tiroxine), and lipid metabolites (cholesterol and HDL). Rectal temperature was higher during thermal stress when compared to the group of animals in thermoneutral conditions. The goats maintained the thyroid plasma hormone concentrations, when exposed to repealed and intermittent stress, in spite of the occurrence of hypertermia during heat stress.

The serum concentration of progesterone and lipidics metabolites were studied using tallow as lipidic suplementation during the estrous cycle of 32 crossbred goats, with average age and weight of five months and 25 kg. The goats were randomlly allocated in four treatments as described: treatment 1, restricted intake; treatment 2, full feed; treatments 3 and 4, hiperlipidics diets with 2.5% and 5.0% of tallow, respectively. The female goats under restricted intake, showed the small serum progesterone level (P<0.05) at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days of the estrous cycle, while the ones under hiperlipidics diets, treatments 3 and 4, showed greater levels. The same results were found for serum levels of cholesterol and HDL in the estrous cycle days 6, 9 and 21, and 12, 15 and 21, respectively, that is, the females under restricted diet showed the small level and the ones treated with hiperlipidics diets, the highest. The hiperlipidics diets were important factor in altering the serum cholesterol and HDL levels, showing that the lipidic metabolism may be effective in cyclic luteal progesterone production in the puberal female goats.
