A novel plant toxin, persin, with in vivo activity in the mammary gland, induces Bim-dependent apoptosis in human breast cancer cells

Phytochemicals have provided an abundant and effective source of therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. Here we describe the characterization of a novel plant toxin, persin, with in vivo activity in the mammary gland and a p53-, estrogen receptor-, and Bcl-2-independent mode of action. Persin was previously identified from avocado leaves as the toxic principle responsible for mammary gland-specific necrosis and apoptosis in lactating livestock. Here we used a lactating mouse model to confirm that persin has a similar cytotoxicity for the lactating mammary epithelium. Further in vitro studies in a panel of human breast cancer cell lines show that persin selectively induces a G(2)-M cell cycle arrest and caspase-dependent apoptosis in sensitive cells. The latter is dependent on expression of the BH3-only protein Bim. Bim is a sensor of cytoskeletal integrity, and there is evidence that unique structure of the compound, persin could represent a novel class of microtubule-targeting agent with potential specificity for breast cancers.

Student perceptions of the school physical fitness testing program: The Fitnessgram

The purpose of this study was to determine fifth grade students' perceptions of the Fitnessgram physical fitness testing program. This study examined if the Fitnessgram physical fitness testing experience promotes an understanding of the health-related fitness components and examined the relationship between individual fitness test scores and time spent participating in out-of-school physical activity. Lastly, students' thoughts and feelings concerning the Fitnessgram experience were examined. ^ The primary participant population for the study was 110 fifth grade students at Redland Elementary School, a Miami-Dade County Public School (M-DCPS). Data were collected over the course of 5 months. Multiple sources of data allowed for triangulation. Data sources included Fitnessgram test scores, questionnaires, document analysis, and in-depth interviews. ^ Interview data were analyzed qualitatively for common broad themes, which were identified and defined. Document analysis included analyzing student fitness test scores and student questionnaire data. This information was analyzed to determine if the Fitnessgram test scores have an impact on student views about the school fitness-testing program. Data were statistically analyzed using analysis of frequency, crosstabulations (Bryman & Duncan, 1997), and Somers'd Correlation (Bryman & Duncan, 1997). The results of the analysis of data on student knowledge of the physical fitness components tested by each Fitnessgram test revealed students do not understand the health-related fitness components. ^ The results of determining a relationship between individuals' fitness test scores and time spent in out-of-school physical activity revealed a significant positive relationship for 2 of the 6 Fitnessgram tests. ^ The results of examining students' thoughts and feelings about each Fitnessgram test focused around 2 broad themes: (a) these children do not mind the physical fitness testing and (b) how they felt about the experience was directly related to how they thought they had performed. ^ If the goal of physical fitness was only to get children fit, this test may be appropriate. However, the ultimate goal of physical fitness is to encourage students to live active and healthy lifestyles. Findings suggest the Fitnessgram as implemented by M-DCPS may not be the most suitable measurement instrument when assessing attitudinal changes that affect a healthy lifelong lifestyle. ^

El concepto de ciudadanía en la obra de Dominique Schnapper: entre el tipo ideal sociológico y el ideal de sociedad democrática

Este artículo analiza la evolución del concepto de ciudadanía en la obra de Dominique Schnapper como uno de los ejemplos más destacados en la sociología contemporánea de una aproximación completa a la cuestión. A través de un recorrido exhaustivo por su obra, el objetivo es profundizar en la comprensión de la tensión entre la dinámica democrática y la idea de ciudadanía en cuanto que tipo ideal del vínculo social y como principio regulador de las sociedades democráticas. La autora propone en sus primeros trabajos una noción de ciudadanía vinculada al proceso político de construcción de la nación que no distingue entre la definición de un tipo ideal sociológico y la construcción de un ideal de sociedad. Esta confusión se corrige al introducir posteriormente en el análisis la incidencia de la democracia sobre las experiencias individuales de la ciudadanía, aportando una perspectiva de análisis de gran utilidad tanto para la comprensión de la dinámica contemporánea de las sociedades democráticas como para la necesaria defensa de la ciudadanía como vínculo social fundamental y como principio fundador de la legitimidad política.

Narrative Deliberation? On Storytelling as a Necessary Component of Public Deliberation

This paper deals with the place of narrative, that is, storytelling, in public deliberation. A distinction is made between weak and strong conceptions of narrative. According to the weak one, storytelling is but one rhetorical device among others with which social actors produce and convey meaning. In contrast, the strong conception holds that narrative is necessary to communicate, and argue, about topics such as the human experience of time, collective identities and the moral and ethical validity of values. The upshot of this idea is that storytelling should be a necessary component of any ideal of public deliberation. Contrary to recent work by deliberative theorists, who tend to adopt the weak conception of narrative, the author argues for embracing the strong one. The main contention of this article is that stories not only have a legitimate place in deliberation, but are even necessary to formulate certain arguments in the fi rst place; for instance, arguments drawing on historical experience. This claim, namely that narrative is constitutive of certain arguments, in the sense that, without it, said reasons cannot be articulated, is illustrated by deliberative theory’s own narrative underpinnings. Finally, certain possible objections against the strong conception of narrative are dispelled.

Jardim Botânico, 1024, CEP: 22460-000, Rio de Janeiro (RJ). 3Embrapa Meio Ambiente, Caixa Postal 69, CEP: 13820-000, Jaguariúna (SP) (INTRODUÇÃO) O lodo de esgoto é rico em matéria orgânica e nutrientes, podendo substituir, ainda que parcialmente, os fertilizantes minerais. Graças a essas características, esse resíduo pode desempenhar importante papel na produção agrícola e na manutenção da fertilidade do solo. Entretanto, esse composto apresenta materiais pesados em sua composição. Assim torna-se necessário ponderar as variações das formas disponíveis desses elementos. Nesse sentido, a extração seqüencial é uma metodologia que permite avaliar o destino principal de dado metal no solo em função de suas preferências de ligação química na matriz organomineral. No entanto, essa análise consome muito tempo e reagente. A possibilidade de relacionar essa extração complexa com uma mais simples seria interessante. É o objetivo do presente trabalho, portanto, avaliar a relação entre uma metodologia de extração seqüencial e os dois métodos de extração simples mais usados no Brasil, Mehlich 1 e DTPA. (METODOLOGIA) As amostras foram coletadas em um ensaio instalado no campo experimental da Embrapa-Meio Ambiente (Jaguariúna, SP) em um Argissolo Vermelho- Amarelo. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos ao acaso com 5 repetições. Os tratamentos estudados foram: 1. fertilização mineral (NPK), com base na análise de solo; 2. aplicação de lodo de esgoto com base na sua concentração de nitrogênio e mantendo a metade da quantidade aplicada na fertilização mineral (N/2); 3 aplicação de lodo de esgoto mantendo a quantidade de N aplicada na fertilização mineral (N); 4. duas vezes a concentração de lodo de esgoto aplicada no tratamento 3 (2N). Dois tipos de lodo foram aplicados: entre 2000 e 2004 usou-se lodo originário da região de Barueri (SP), tipicamente industrial.; em 2005 foi aplicado lodo originário do município de Jundiaí (SP), que pode ser considerado de característica doméstica. Ambos foram fornecidos pela SABESP, na forma adequada para aplicação agrícola. As amostras de solo foram coletadas na profundidade de 0-20 cm no ano de 2006. A extração seqüencial foi a descrita por Wasserman et al. (2005). As extrações simples, DTPA e Mehlich 1 seguiram a metodologia da Embrapa (1997). A determinação de Fe, Cu, Zn e Cr foi realizada por ICP-OES (PE OTIMA 3000). (RESULTADOS) As extrações simples de Fe, Cu, Zn e Cr correlacionaram-se positiva e significativamente com as principais fases do solo ligadas à biodisponibilidade. Os elementos Fe e Zn, extraídos tanto por Mehlich 1, como por DTPA, correlacionaram-se com mais significânica com a Fase 1, ligada à CTC do solo. Já os elementos Cu e Cr, correlacionaram-se melhor com a Fase 3, relacionada à matéria orgânica. O Mn extraído por DTPA apresentou melhor correlação com a Fase 1. (CONCLUSÃO) Todos os metais analisados apresentaram uma tendência em aumentarem sua concentração total em função da dose de lodo aplicada. As fases 1 e 3 apresentam importância neste sentido, sendo este um motivo de grande preocupação, por serem frações biodisponíveis, podendo agravar seriamente, os riscos de contaminação pelos metais em questão. No entanto, as concentrações encontradas são bem menores que aquelas recomendadas pela CONAMA no375/2006. Agradecimentos: CNPq, FAPERJ, FUJB, Embrapa
