Molecular and serological detection of tick-borne pathogens in dogs from an area endemic for Leishmania infantum in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Patógenos transmitidos por carrapatos atingem uma variedade de hospedeiros vertebrados. Para identificar os agentes patogênicos transmitidos por carrapatos entre cães soropositivos para Leishmania infantum no município Campo Grande-MS, foi realizado um estudo sorológico e molecular para a detecção de Ehrlichia canis, Anaplasma platys e Babesia vogeli em 60 amostras de soro e baço, respectivamente. Adicionalmente, foi realizado o diagnóstico confirmatório de L. infantum por meio de técnicas sorológicas e moleculares. Também foi realizado o alinhamento e análise filogenética das sequências para indicar a identidade das espécies de parasitas que infectam esses animais. Anticorpos IgG anti-Ehrlichia spp., anti-B. vogeli e anti-L. infantum foram detectados em 39 (65%), 49 (81,6%) e 60 (100%) dos cães amostrados, respectivamente. Vinte e sete (45%), cinquenta e quatro (90%), cinquenta e três (88,3%), dois (3,3%) e um (1,6%) cães mostraram-se positivos na PCR para E. canis, Leishmania spp., Leishmania donovani complex, Babesia sp. e Anaplasma sp., respectivamente. Após o seqüenciamento, os amplicons mostraram 99% de similaridade com isolados de E. canis, B. vogeli e A. platys e Leishmania chagasi. Os resultados deste estudo indicaram que os cães soropositivos para L. infantum de Campo Grande, MS, são expostos a vários agentes transmitidos por carrapatos, e, portanto, devem ser incluídos no diagnóstico diferencial em cães com suspeita clínica de leishmaniose.

Competência em informação: perspectivas em torno da cultura escolar

Displays the Information Literacy as a method of training for access, evaluation and use of information, which has become, increasingly, the raw material indispensable for intellectual autonomy. Presents the articulation possible - and necessary - between Information and Cultural Competence in School, with emphasis on their relationship. Search is on School Culture, contexts for insertion of procedures developed by the Information Literacy, considering the dimensions of the organization, interpretation and knowledge production. It points out the advantages to realize the Culture School, through practical philosophical context, to support action planning, establishing, in the educational environment, actions related to the development of Competency Information. We used participation research action in the context of a public school in Campo Grande-MS, the research subjects were students of the 6º and 7º grades and their teachers. Data collection took place through observation and interviews relating the development of competencein Information and teaching practices It is noteworthy that this kind of responsibility if developed without an understanding of school culture, becomes a rambling and disjointed practice whose outcomes are at risk of not being achieved.

Dança de salão: perspectivas de satisfação e motivos de adesão

The need to practice physical activity of any kind grows day by day. People look for studios, clubs, parks, either to practice some kind of sport, gymnastics classes, workout or a good walk. Over the last few years, another option has arived arose, which is a little different from what we are used to see. We are talking about Ballroom Dance, a new alternative for thoses who wants or needs to practice some physical activity but is looking for a different environment. Ballroom Dance is growing, thanks to the media, it has been an effective option for whom seeks to fill her free time and gains benefits such as leisure, satisfaction, health and quality of live, etc. Therefore, the objectives of this study were: investigating the reasons that lead the people to look for classes like Ballroom Dance and identify the degree of satisfaction of these students regarding Ballroom Dance classes. Thirty eight students participated in this study: some came from a dance studio from Rio Claro (SP), some from a gym academy with Ballroom Dance classes from Campo Grande (MS) and some from a Ballroom Dance Program of Unesp, Rio Claro in the community. The participants of both genders, ageing between 18 to 60 years, were enpaped on Ballroom program for at least one month. They answered a questionnaire related to the issue. After analyzing the data it was confirmed that people seeks for Ballroom Dance because they like to dance, they feel pleasure to dance, besides feeling relaxed in the activity and because dancing brought them fun. Regarding the Degree of satisfaction, all of them stated being satisfied with Ballroom Dance.

Hydroxyurea in the sickle cell anemia: toxicity and effectiveness

Objective: to evaluate the use of hydroxyurea with regard to effectiveness and toxicity in people with sickle cell anemia. Method: this is a retrospective descriptive study, developed with 57 medical records of patients with sickle cell anemia, treated at the University Hospital Center of Campo Grande (Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil), from 1993 to 2005. Inclusion criteria: electrophoresis of hemoglobin in medical record; regular use of drugs, for an average of 196 weeks; dosage; and hematological analyses before starting treatment. Exclusion criteria: living with other hemoglobinopathies. The variables evaluated were: neutrophils count; platelets; leukocytes; hemoglobin; time using hydroxyurea; drug response to the optimal dosage; and number and type of episodes of hospitalization. The research protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, under the Protocol 645. Results: of the 57 medical records, 3 cases were evaluated. Comparing the hematological values, according to Portaria 872, enacted on 11/12/2002, it was found that: cases A, B, and C present an use of hydroxyurea (500 mg/day) for four years, with an average of 196 weeks. Case A, female, decreased painful episodes and frequency of hospitalization, keeping hematological values with no toxicity. In Case B, female, there was one hospitalization due to pain crises and important hemolysis. It stood out, in case C, male, neutropenia with hematological values < 2,000/mm3 . Conclusion: in the cases analyzed, we observed a drop in the number of hospitalizations with the decrease in painful crises from three to one a year, and there was no toxicity with regard to the dosage and time using hydroxyurea, in all three cases. For more comprehensive results, one suggests further study on this therapy with significant samples of this clientele.

Anemia and hemoglobinopathies in pregnant women attended in a public hospital

Objectives: to identify the demographic profile and frequency of anemia and hemoglobinopathies, as a basis for future implementation of actions aimed at pregnant women in the public health domain. Method: this is a cross-sectional study developed with pregnant women attended in a university hospital at Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Blood samples were collected for the erythrogram analysis for detection of anemia and selective and specific tests for abnormal hemoglobin. The patients regarded as indigenous and mentally ill, as well as inmates, were excluded from the research, as they represent a vulnerable population which needs a cohort different from that of the sample. For data collection, a particular questionnaire was used. The research was approved by the Ethics Committee of Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), under the Protocol 873/2006. Results: of the 215 pregnant women under study, 20% were adolescents; 36.3% had incomplete primary education; 53.0% were non-Caucasian; 43.3% were from Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil; and 21.1% were of European descent. 17.7% had some type of anemia and, in the evaluation of hemoglobinopathies, 4.7% of patients were detected with some abnormal hemoglobin, with the following frequencies: 3.3% with HbAS; 0.9% with HbAC; and 0.5% with intermediate β-thalassemia. Conclusion: the frequencies of anemia and hemoglobinopathy found in these pregnant women showed the importance of early diagnosis, revealing indicators able to provide a basis for preventive and assistance actions for adequate clinical monitoring, reducing maternal and neonatal morbimortality in the public health services. Descriptors: pregnant women; anemia; hemoglobinopathies; public health; nursing.

Bioprocess and biotecnology: effect of xylanase from Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus on pulp biobleaching and enzyme production using agroindustrial residues as substract

This study compares two xylanases produced by filamentous fungi such as A. niger and A. flavus using agroindustrial residues as substract and evaluated the effect of these enzymes on cellulose pulp biobleaching process. Wheat bran was the best carbon source for xylanase production by A. niger and A. flavus. The production of xylanase was 18 and 21% higher on wheat bran when we compare the xylanase production with xylan. At 50°C, the xylanase of A. niger retained over 85% activity with 2 h of incubation, and A. flavus had a half-life of more than 75 minutes. At 55°C, the xylanase produced by A. niger showed more stable than from A. flavus showing a half-life of more than 45 minutes. The xylanase activity of A. niger and A. flavus were somehow protected in the presence of glycerol 5% when compared to the control (without additives). On the biobleaching assay it was observed that the xylanase from A. flavus was more effective in comparison to A. niger. The kappa efficiency corresponded to 36.32 and 25.93, respectively. That is important to emphasize that the cellulase activity was either analyzed and significant levels were not detected, which explain why the viscosity was not significantly modified.

A CUIABÁ-SANTARÉM (BR-163) NO CONTEXTO DA OCUPAÇÃO DA AMAZÔNIA BRASILEIRA

Las décadas de 1970 y 1980 fueron marcadas por la disminución rápida de las superficies ocupadas por las florestas tropicales. Este fenómeno es particularmente espectacular en Brasil donde se estima que 551.000 km2 de la floresta amazónica fueron destruidos para una mise en valeur agrícola (agropecuaria). El caso de Mato Grosso es muy revelador de esa evolución en razón de la extensión de las superficies conquistadas por la agricultura en detrimento de la floresta y también en función de la diversidad de los paisajes preexistentes y de las formas actuales de ocupación de los llamados “espacios vacíos”. La Amazonía Mato-Grossense es la porción del territorio que se extiende al norte del paralelo 16º S y cuyo drenaje es en gran parte dominado por los principales afluentes del río Amazonas: Araguaia, Xingu, Teles Pires/Tapajós, Madeira/Guaporé. En la década de 1970 el gobierno brasileño transformó en proyecto de estrategia militar la ocupación territorial de la Amazonía, aplicando como doctrina los eslóganes: (a) Seguridad y Desarrollo e (b) Integrar para no entregar, ya que temía la influencia del modelo Cubano, materializado en América Latina a partir de la presencia notoria del Che Guevara en Bolivia. Entre 1970 y 1974 el Instituto Nacional de Colonización y Reforma Agraria (INCRA) dio prioridad al asentamiento de colonos pobres en los estados de Rondonia y Mato Grosso, conforme la propuesta del proyecto POLONOROESTE, atendiendo tres objetivos básicos: (1) Objetivo Económico: promover la agricultura teniendo como meta el aumento de la producción de alimentos para abastecer el mercado interno y para la exportación; (2) Objetivo Demográfico: frenar el éxodo rural y reorientar, para la Amazonía, el flujo que se dirigía para las grandes metrópolis del Sureste de Brasil; (3) Objetivo Social: disminuir las tensiones sociales provocadas por el latifundio en el Nordeste y por el minifundio en el Sur del país. Como estrategias de ocupación una serie de programas especiales de desarrollo del Gobierno Federal fueron implementados, entre los cuales destacamos: -         Pavimentación de la carretera BR-163, uniendo Campo Grande/MS a Cuiabá/MT; -         Pavimentación de la carretera BR-364, uniendo Goiás/GO a Cuiabá/MT; -         Creación de la Universidad Federal de Mato Grosso; -         Extensión de la primera gran línea de transmisión de energía eléctrica desde Cachoeira Dourada/MS até Cuiaba/MT; -         Implementación de programas especiales para la ocupación del “cerrado”[1]/POLOCENTRO que financió la ocupación de 1 millón de hectáreas de “cerrados” por la agropecuaria en el Norte de Mato Grosso; -         La pequeña producción de subsistencia de Mato Grosso sufrió los primeros impactos de los colonos gauchos y paranaenses. La metodología adoptada para investigar como esas acciones definen/redefinen las dinámicas territoriales y, evidentemente, se plasman en el paisaje motivando una serie de impactos socioambientales, consiste en investigaciones de campo (observaciones empíricas, entrevistas, tomadas de fotos y filmes) y en los análisis de imágenes LANDSAT TM. Partiendo del presupuesto de que esas transformaciones acontecen, raramente de manera completamente espontánea y anárquica, es posible identificar las estructuras espaciales suficientemente recurrentes para que el estudio de toda esa región se preste a una tentativa de definir las configuraciones espaciales típicas, sus lógicas de funcionamiento y sus evoluciones temporales. El objetivo mayor es diagnosticar el estado actual de la ocupación del suelo, así como pronosticar las alteraciones futuras. La colonización agrícola y su corolario de deforestación – promedio anual de 20.000 km2 – está en plena dinámica con el apoyo de los gobiernos – Federal y Estadual -, de los avances tecnológicos y de grandes grupos capitalistas (nacionales e internacionales).
