This article proposes an experimental procedure to determine the enthalpy (and entropy) of vaporization of organic liquid compounds, by the Smith-Menzies (isoteniscope) method. The values of vapor pressure at different temperatures were obtained and ΔvH (and ΔvS) were graphically determined, using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. The results for diethyl-ether, propanone, ethanol and n-hexane are in very good agreement with those from literature. A historical and thermodynamic discussion on equations that correlates vapor pressures and temperature precedes the experimental proposition.

This work describes the phytochemical study of the methanol extract obtained from leaves of Guarea macrophylla, leading to the isolation and identification of three flavonoid glycosides (quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, quercetin 3-O-b-D-galactopyranoside, kaempferol 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside) and a neolignan glucoside, dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol-4-β-D-glucoside. All compounds were identified by a combination of spectroscopic methods (¹H, 1D, 2D NMR, 13C and UV), ESI-MS and comparison with the literature data. This is the first report of flavonoids in the genus Guarea and of a neolignan glucoside in the Meliaceae family.

The present study aimed to investigate the in vitro effects of isoschaftoside isolated from Syngonium podophyllum on pig kidney Na+,K+-ATPase. The Na+, K+-ATPase activity was determined by colorimetric measurement of inorganic phosphate (Pi), resulting from ATP hydrolysis. Isoschaftoside significantly decreased the renal Na+, K+-ATPase activity at the highest concentration as well as at a lower concentration. Our work suggests that isoschaftoside is a promising compound for the treatment of hypertension.

Os autores comparam um modelo convencional de suporte para pontos totais de segurança da parede abdominal com um novo modelo desenvolvido pelo Instituto de Bioengenharia Erasto Gaertner (IBEG) - o modelo MK, avaliando sua efetividade, ocorrência de complicações, aspecto estético, dor na cicatriz cirúrgica e viabilidade econômica. Foram estudados 66 pacientes submetidos a cirurgia abdominal em dois hospitais de Curitiba (Hospital Erasto Gaertner e Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal do Paraná), no período de maio a julho de 1996. Os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos: no primeiro grupo foi utilizado o modelo MK, enquanto no segundo utilizou-se o modelo convencional. O modelo MK demonstrou menor índice de complicações, entre as quais: hematoma (p=0,01), coleção sero-hemática (p=0,01), abscesso subcutâneo (p=0,01) e úlcera decorrente dos pontos totais (p=0,02). No que diz respeito à dor, o modelo MK foi mais bem tolerado pelos pacientes, com diferença estatisticamente significativa (p=0,004). O resultado estético e a ocorrência de deiscência, evisceração, hérnia incisional e infecção não mostraram diferença significativa entre os dois grupos. O modelo MK mostrou ser efetivo como suporte para pontos totais de segurança, com uma menor incidência de complicações e menor índice de dor local.

OBJETIVO: O melanoma maligno é a causa mais comum de doença metastática envolvendo o trato gastrointestinal, e o intestino delgado o sítio mais freqüentemente envolvido. Este estudo foi realizado com a finalidade de avaliar o quadro clínico, tratamento, evolução e relatar a experiência com o tratamento cirúrgico do melanoma metastático para intestino delgado. MÉTODO: Foram revisados 11 casos operados no período setembro/1987 a setembro/2000, e estudados os dados referentes ao sexo, idade, localização e estadiamento do tumor primário, tempo e manifestação clínica da metástase intestinal. Também foram avaliados o tipo de cirurgia realizada, a ocorrência de complicações e necessidade de reoperações,a presença de outros sítios metastáticos e sobrevida. RESULTADOS: A média de idade dos pacientes foi de 43,3 anos, sendo 54,5% do sexo masculino. Os membros inferiores foram o sítio primário mais freqüente (54,5%), e em 18,2% dos casos a metástase intestinal foi a primeira manifestação da doença. Dor abdominal (72,7%), obstrução intestinal (36,3%) e massa abdominal (27,2%) foram os sintomas mais comuns. Enterectomia com enteroanastomose foi realizada em 72,7% dos pacientes, em caráter emergencial em mais de 50% dos casos. O tempo de sobrevida variou de 6 dias a 90 meses, e a mortalidade foi de 72,7%. CONCLUSÕES: As metástases intestinais devem ser consideradas em qualquer paciente que apresente sintomas gastrointestinais e uma história prévia de lesão melanocítica de pele, e o tratamento cirúrgico, apesar do caráter paliativo, pode ocasionalmente resultar em sobrevida longa.

OBJETIVO: Determinar a aplicabilidade da termografia por radiação infravermelha no monitoramento da perfusão hepática in situ com diferentes soluções de preservação. MÉTODOS: 24 ratos Wistar machos adultos, foram distribuidos aleatoriamente em quatro grupos de seis animais: grupo EC; ®grupo CUST; ®grupo CEL e grupo RL. Todas as soluções estavam resfriadas à exatamente 4ºC e posicionadas 20 cm acima do nível do fígado. As imagens infravermelhas, com as respectivas avaliações de temperatura da superfície hepática, foram captadas em tempo real : imediatamente após a laparotomia; após a canulação dos vasos e imediatamente antes da infusão; a cada minuto cronometrado após início da infusão até o quinto minuto de infusão. As médias de temperaturas de cada momento foram comparadas intra e intergrupos através do teste da Diferença entre médias de distribuição normal, com nível de significância p 0,05. RESULTADOS: Houve diferença entre as temperaturas do momento da laparotomia e imediatamente após a canulação; entre este último e após o primeiro minuto de perfusão; e entre as medidas ao final do primeiro e do quinto minutos de perfusão em todos os grupos. O grupo CEL mostrou diferença significativa adicional entre as temperaturas medidas ao final do primeiro e do segundo minutos. CONCLUSÃO: Foi possível avaliar o resfriamento hepático durante a perfusão das soluções de preservação utilizando-se a radiação infravermelha. As soluções tiveram comportamento semelhante entre si, com a solução Celsior® mostrando potencial adicional de resfriamento significativo até ao final do segundo minuto.

Objective: to analyze the epidemiology, clinical features and survival rate of patients undergoing orbital exenteration (OE) in a tertiary referral hospital. Methods : we conducted a retrospective study of all patients undergoing OE at the Hospital das Clínicas, FMUSP between January 2007 and December 2012. We collected data records related to gender, age, origin, length of stay, duration of the disease, other treatments related to the disease, number of procedures outside of the face related to the disease, follow-up and histological diagnosis. Results : we treated 37 patients in the study period. The average survival in one year was 70%, in two years, 66.1%, and 58.3% in three years. There was no significant difference in the one-year survival related to histological diagnosis (p=0.15), days of hospitalization (p=0.17), gender (p=0.43), origin (p=0.78), disease duration (p=0.27) or the number of operations for the tumor (p=0.31). Mortality was higher in elderly patients (p=0.02). The average years of life lost was 33.9 in patients under 60 years, 14.7 in patients in the 61-80 years range and 11.3 in patients over 80 years. Conclusion : the present series of cases is significant in terms of prevalence of orbital exenteration; on the other hand, it shows one of the lowest survival rates in the literature. This suggests an urgent need for improved health care conditions to prevent deforming, radical resections.
