SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF BASICS LIFE SUPPORT

Victims of cardiac arrest need immediate Basic Life Support, in order to preserve as much as possible, the flow of blood to the brain and heart and other vital organs, it is essential to gain time pending differentiated help, performing simple acts and practical (BLS) to save lives. Learn how to perform RPC is an interactive process that requires knowledge and skills, but at the same time an act of solidarity, social responsibility, civic consciousness, and a duty of citizenship. Because no one revives alone, it requires a coordinated work of a team, all citizens must join forces in a single goal: Save Lives, the massification of the BLS (RPC, 2014). We conducted an exploratory study that aimed to identify the social representations of basic life support in the general population. We used the technique of free association of words through a short questionnaire, we obtained a sample of 45 participants. The results show that participants were mostly female and 27 that fashion of age was in the age group 40 to 59 years. With regard to social representations, we find an organized structure follows the core: help, help to revive, and save is giving life, are in fact structural and consensual elements in basic life support. In more peripheral elements we find extremely important elements, which can be worked in a way so that the core is more efficient such as to act coordinately as a team in face of an accident, it can thus be successful in practice. The social representation of basic life support does not differ from that referred in the literature on the subject, but it is common knowledge that these skills can only be acquired if they are systematically trained, because they obey an algorithm that if it is not settled theoretical and instrumentally it is not effective in practice.

Investigation of the mechanism of resistance to glyphosate herbicide in hairy fleaban.

The resistance of weeds to herbicides is a consequence of one or more mechanisms in the plant, responsible for not allowing the herbicide to act properly at the active site.

Inhibition and characterization of two-metal ion enzymes to treat cancer: dna polymerase Ƞ and topoisomerase II α

Chemotherapeutic drugs can in many ways disrupt the replication machinery triggering apoptosis in cancer cells: some act directly on DNA and others block the enzymes involved in preparing DNA for replication. Cisplatin-based drugs are common as first-line cancer chemotherapics. Another example is etoposide, a molecule that blocks topoisomerase II α leading to the inhibition of dsDNA replication. Despite their efficacy, cancer cells can respond to these treatments over time by overtaking their effects, leading to drug resistance. Chemoresistance events can be triggered by the action of enzymes like DNA polymerase ƞ (Pol η). This polymerase helps also to bypass drug-induced damage in cancer cells, allowing DNA replication and cancer cells proliferation even when cisplatin-based chemotherapeutic drugs are in use. Pol ƞ is a promising drug discovery target, whose inhibition would help in overcoming of drug resistance. This study aims to identify a potent and selective Pol ƞ inhibitor able to improve the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs. We report the discovery of compound 64 (ARN24964), after an extensive SAR reporting 35 analogs. We evaluated compound 64 on four different cell lines. Interestingly, the molecule is a Pol η inhibitor able to act synergistically with cisplatin. Moreover, we also synthesized a prodrug form that allowed us to improve its stability and the bioavailability. This compound represents an advanced scaffold featuring good potency and DMPK properties. In addition to this central theme, this thesis also describes our efforts in developing and characterize a novel hybrid inhibitor/poison for the human topoisomerase II α enzyme. In particular, we performed specific assays to study the inhibiton of Topoisomesare II α and we evaluated compounds effect on three cancer cell lines. These studies allowed us to identify a compound that is able to inhibit the enzyme with a good pK and a good potency.

A membrane process to extract Citrus Lemon derived extracellular vesicles

Extra cellular vesicles are membrane bound and lipid based nano particles having the size range of 30 to 1000 nm released by a plethora of cells. Their prime function is cellular communication but in the recent studies, the potential of these vesicles to maintain physiological and pathological processes as well as their nano-sized constituents opened doors to its applications in therapeutics, and diagnostics of variety of diseases such as cancer. Their main constituents include lipids, proteins, and RNAs. They are categorized into subtypes such as exosomes, micro-vesicles and apoptotic bodies In recent studies, extracellular vesicles that are derived from plants are gaining high regard due to their variety of advantages such as safety, non-toxicity, and high availability which promotes large scale production. EVs are isolated from mammalian and plant cells using multitude of techniques such as Ultracentrifugation, SEC, Precipitation and so on. Due to the variety in the sources as well as shortcomings arising from the isolation method, a scalable and inexpensive EV isolation method is yet to be designed. This study focusses on isolation of EVs from citrus lemon juice through diafiltration. Lemon is a promising source due to its biological properties to act as antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory agents. Lemon derived vesicles was proven to have several proteins analogous to mammalian vesicles. A diafiltration could be carried out for successful removal of impurities and it is a scalable, continuous technique with potentially lower process times. The concentration of purified product and impurities are analysed using Size Exclusion Chromatography in analytical mode. It is also considered imperative to compare the results from diafiltration with gold standard UC. BCA is proposed to evaluate total protein content and DLS for size measurements. Finally, the ideal mode of storage of EVs to protect its internals and its structure is analysed with storage tests.

Long-term Postoperative Atrophy Of Contralateral Hippocampus And Cognitive Function In Unilateral Refractory Mtle With Unilateral Hippocampal Sclerosis.

This study aimed to evaluate long-term atrophy in contralateral hippocampal volume after surgery for unilateral MTLE, as well as the cognitive outcome for patients submitted to either selective transsylvian amygdalohippocampectomy (SelAH) or anterior temporal lobe resection (ATL). We performed a longitudinal study of 47 patients with MRI signs of unilateral hippocampal sclerosis (23 patients with right-sided hippocampal sclerosis) who underwent surgical treatment for MTLE. They underwent preoperative/postoperative high-resolution MRI as well as neuropsychological assessment for memory and estimated IQ. To investigate possible changes in the contralateral hippocampus of patients, we included 28 controls who underwent two MRIs at long-term intervals. The volumetry using preoperative MRI showed significant hippocampal atrophy ipsilateral to the side of surgery when compared with controls (p<0.0001) but no differences in contralateral hippocampal volumes. The mean postoperative follow-up was 8.7 years (± 2.5 SD; median=8.0). Our patients were classified as Engel I (80%), Engel II (18.2%), and Engel III (1.8%). We observed a small but significant reduction in the contralateral hippocampus of patients but no volume changes in controls. Most of the patients presented small declines in both estimated IQ and memory, which were more pronounced in patients with left TLE and in those with persistent seizures. Different surgical approaches did not impose differences in seizure control or in cognitive outcome. We observed small declines in cognitive scores with most of these patients, which were worse in patients with left-sided resection and in those who continued to suffer from postoperative seizures. We also demonstrated that manual volumetry can reveal a reduction in volume in the contralateral hippocampus, although this change was mild and could not be detected by visual analysis. These new findings suggest that dynamic processes continue to act after the removal of the hippocampus, and further studies with larger groups may help in understanding the underlying mechanisms.

Carotenoids Are Effective Inhibitors Of In Vitro Hemolysis Of Human Erythrocytes, As Determined By A Practical And Optimized Cellular Antioxidant Assay.

β-Carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, β-cryptoxanthin, and lycopene are liposoluble pigments widely distributed in vegetables and fruits and, after ingestion, these compounds are usually detected in human blood plasma. In this study, we evaluated their potential to inhibit hemolysis of human erythrocytes, as mediated by the toxicity of peroxyl radicals (ROO•). Thus, 2,2'-azobis (2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH) was used as ROO• generator and the hemolysis assay was carried out in experimental conditions optimized by response surface methodology, and successfully adapted to microplate assay. The optimized conditions were verified at 30 × 10(6) cells/mL, 17 mM of AAPH for 3 h, at which 48 ± 5% of hemolysis was achieved in freshly isolated erythrocytes. Among the tested carotenoids, lycopene (IC(50) = 0.24 ± 0.05 μM) was the most efficient to prevent the hemolysis, followed by β-carotene (0.32 ± 0.02 μM), lutein (0.38 ± 0.02 μM), and zeaxanthin (0.43 ± 0.02 μM). These carotenoids were at least 5 times more effective than quercetin, trolox, and ascorbic acid (positive controls). β-Cryptoxanthin did not present any erythroprotective effect, but rather induced a hemolytic effect at the highest tested concentration (3 μM). These results suggest that selected carotenoids may have potential to act as important erythroprotective agents by preventing ROO•-induced toxicity in human erythrocytes.

Granulocyte Colony-stimulating Factor (g-csf) Positive Effects On Muscle Fiber Degeneration And Gait Recovery After Nerve Lesion In Mdx Mice.

G-CSF has been shown to decrease inflammatory processes and to act positively on the process of peripheral nerve regeneration during the course of muscular dystrophy. The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of treatment of G-CSF during sciatic nerve regeneration and histological analysis in the soleus muscle in MDX mice. Six-week-old male MDX mice underwent left sciatic nerve crush and were G-CSF treated at 7 days prior to and 21 days after crush. Ten and twenty-one days after surgery, the mice were euthanized, and the sciatic nerves were processed for immunohistochemistry (anti-p75(NTR) and anti-neurofilament) and transmission electron microscopy. The soleus muscles were dissected out and processed for H&E staining and subsequent morphologic analysis. Motor function analyses were performed at 7 days prior to and 21 days after sciatic crush using the CatWalk system and the sciatic nerve index. Both groups treated with G-CSF showed increased p75(NTR) and neurofilament expression after sciatic crush. G-CSF treatment decreased the number of degenerated and regenerated muscle fibers, thereby increasing the number of normal muscle fibers. The reduction in p75(NTR) and neurofilament indicates a decreased regenerative capacity in MDX mice following a lesion to a peripheral nerve. The reduction in motor function in the crushed group compared with the control groups may reflect the cycles of muscle degeneration/regeneration that occur postnatally. Thus, G-CSF treatment increases motor function in MDX mice. Nevertheless, the decrease in baseline motor function in these mice is not reversed completely by G-CSF.

Escola, democracia e a construção de personalidades morais

This article intends to discuss the relationship between morality, democracy and education within the perspective of the complex thinking, pointing to paths and proposals for its effective implementation in the educational routine, under the conviction that this is an imperative of the new social demands presented to the contemporary schooling. Understanding that one of the purposes of education is the ethical development, the author proposes intentional actions such that through them the school practices can offer to the subjects of education the necessary tools to build their cognitive, affective, cultural, and organic competence, thereby enabling them to act morally in the world. To that effect, seven aspects of school reality that hamper or contribute to school democratization are identified and discussed, which must be understood from the paradigm of complexity: school contents, classroom methodology, the nature of interpersonal relationships, the values, self-esteem and self-knowledge of the school community, as well as the school management processes.
