Objetivo:O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o fenótipo do HLA em pacientes com contratura de Dupuytren (CD) para verificar a correlação desses alelos com os fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento da CD na população brasileira.Métodos:Este foi um estudo de caso-controle de 25 pacientes com CD e 443 indivíduos saudáveis sem histórico de doenças associadas ao HLA. As tipagens classe I e classe II do HLA foram feitas utilizando o método iniciador de sequências específicas da reação em cadeia da polimerase.Resultados:O fenótipo HLA-B*18 foi observado em 32% dos pacientes e 10,5% do grupo controle. Contudo, os valores de p não permaneceram significativos após correção.Discussão:Apesar de termos observado um aumento na tendência de os pacientes com CD terem o alelo HLA-B*18, os resultados não foram estatisticamente significativos após correção. Esse alelo foi maior em pacientes de etnia italiana e/ou espanhola, locais com frequências superiores a 18% e 14%, respectivamente. São necessárias investigações adicionais com uma coorte maior de pacientes com CD para confirmar o possível papel do HLA nessa doença.

In this work we investigate the dissociation of heteronuclear diatomic molecules subjected to laser pulses. This phenomenon can be modeled by the classical forced Morse oscillator. This system presents a chaotic dynamics associated with the anharmonicity of the internuclear potential and with the coupling of permanent dipole of molecule with the electric field of laser. We want to verify how the dissociation probability evolves while we change the intensity and frequency of laser. We study the phase space of molecules to have a better understanding of system dynamics. We make the calculations changing two parameters of laser (intensity and frequency) and checking how this parameters influences on molecule dissociation. We compare the results of HF molecule (Fluoride acid) and CO molecule (Carbon monoxide) to check how the dipole moment of each molecule can influence on laser interaction

Atualmente são conhecidas aproximadamente 10.000 substâncias do metabolismo secundário de invertebrados e microorganismos marinhos. Dentre os organismos marinhos estudados do ponto de vista químico e farmacológico, destacam-se, as esponjas, as ascídias, os briozoários e os octocorais. No entanto, pouco se sabe quanto ao potencial imunomodulador de compostos isolados de microrganismos marinhos, em especial daqueles isolados da costa brasileira. A propriedade anti-inflamatória de diferentes extratos brutos foi inicialmente avaliada pelo potencial destes compostos quanto à inibição da produção de óxido nítrico (NO) em linhagem de macrófagos, RAW 264.7. Posteriormente as amostras que se mostraram promissoras foram também avaliadas em relação ao potencial imunomodulador quanto a expressão de moléculas de superfície relacionadas migração (Mac-1 ou CD11b) e ativação celular (CD80 e CD86) em linhagens de macrófagos estimulados com LPS. Nossos resultados mostram que dentre as 289 amostras testadas apenas o extrato DLM33 e as substâncias Ma(M3%)J-MeOH e Dr(M3%)6-MeOH/H2O foram inicialmente considerados promissores quanto capacidade de inibir a síntese de NO por macrófagos. O extrato DLM33 foi capaz de de modular apenas a porcentagem de macrófagos positivos para CD80 na presença de LPS. No entanto, a substância Dr(M3%)6-MeOH/H2O não se mostrou eficiente quanto a modulação da expressão de moléculas de superfície Mac-1, CD80 e CD86. Surpreendentemente, a substância Ma(M3%)J-MeOH apresentou um potencial imunoestimulador quanto a expressão de Mac-1+/CD80+, mas não de CD86, em macrófagos sugerindo um possível efeito adjuvante desta substância. O efeito imunoestimulador da substância Ma(M3%)J-MeOH será futuramente investigado utilizando diferentes abordagens in vitro e in vivo para validar os resultados obtidos...

In materials science, the search for technological improvements have become one of the main subject of study of researchers. This is especially true in the case of materials with reduced sizes, in the nanometer scale. Important phenomena to be studied in these cases are the desorption and adsorption on two-dimensional materials, such as graphene. These phenomena are of great importance in the study of interactions between organic films, synthesis or catalysis of reactions on surfaces and even in the creation of nanoscale devices [1, 2, 3, 4]. Between the most important topics related to these phenomena are the storage of gases in low-dimensional systems and the study of nanostructured fuel cells or batteries. In this context we used two different parametrizations for the reactive force field ReaxFF to study the potential barriers and reaction barriers of our system. First we made a study about the Reaction Barriers and Energy Barriers for bonds between graphene and the following atoms: sulfur, fluorine, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. It is important to have this information in order to make it possible to understand how these atoms react with the graphene sheet. Subsequently, we calculate reaction barriers for mixed structures where fluorine is a fixed element bonded to graphene and other element is simultaneously bonded to graphene. This other element (N, O, H or S) is varied in its possible relative positions (ortho, meta and para in relation to fluorine in either: the same side and in the opposite side of the graphene membrane)

Cutaneous melanoma is a malignancy caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of melanocytes. Has been increasing in incidence and mortality over the years. This type of tumor may arise in the skin or any other place where there was migration of neural crest cells. Melanocytes are located in the basal layer of the epidermis forming the epidermal melanin unit, involving a melanocyte to 36 keratinocytes. The proliferation of melanocytes depends on this relationship with the keratinocytes, gap junctions, E-cadherin and desmoglein. The basal membrane is responsible for promoting the integrity of the skin, their adhesion structures shown to be altered in several skin diseases. Some molecules that play the role of adherence in this membrane are the laminins, type IV collagen and type XVII and perlecan. Analysis of protein expression of cell adhesion molecules in melanoma by immunohistochemistry on tissue microarray (TMA). We selected paraffin blocks of patients who were diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma in the period 1995 to 2010, reaching a sample of 124 cases. All these have gone through review of preparation for subsequent histological analysis of tissue microarray (TMA). The protein expression will be analyzed by immunohistochemistry, using markers anti-laminin, anti-collagen type IV and type XVII and anti-perlecan. There was a predominance of female patients, Caucasians and southeastern Brazil. There were frequent in type of extensive superficial ulcers with Breslow depth greater than 4 mm, Clark level IV and mitotic index greater than 6 mitoses per cga. The patients, most of them were female with mean age of 57.13 years and Caucasian. The most frequent histological type was extensive superficial followed by acral lentiginous. Predominated cases very deep, with Breslow thickness greater than 4 mm, Clark IV, ulcerated and on average by 9 cga mitosis, leading to worse prognosis in this sample.

We investigate the formation of molecules under the action of external field acting during the atomic collision. To describe this process, the collision of atomic pairs, we use the Morse oscillator model driven The study was developed from the standpoint of classical mechanics by analyzing the sensitivity of the system with respect to initial conditions, the verification of chaotic dynamics associated with the process of formation of molecules with laser and analysis of system dynamics and the likelihood of photoassociation in response to the external field parameters

The main purpose of this investigation is to analyze the most frequent simple terms, fixed and semifixed expressions in the subarea of Social Political Economy in Portuguese and their corresponding terms in English, found in fifteen papers written by Bresser-Pereira and in his self-translated texts. The methodology used is the Corpus-Based Translation (Baker, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996; Camargo, 2005, 2007), Corpus Linguistics (Berber Sardinha, 2004) and Terminology (Barros, 2004). Results show that terms and expressions used in the source texts have no univocity within the specialized language related to the Brazilian Social Sciences. The terms translated into English also reflect variation due to the options chosen by the selftranslator as he seeks to adapt the theoretical concepts to the possibilities of the Target Language.
