OBJETIVO: Analisar a prevalência da infecção genital por papilomavírus humano (HPV) de alto risco por faixa etária e fatores associados. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com amostra de 2.300 mulheres (15-65 anos) que buscaram rastreamento para o câncer cervical entre fevereiro de 2002 e março de 2003 em São Paulo e Campinas, estado de São Paulo. Aplicou-se questionário epidemiológico e realizou-se coleta cervical para citologia oncológica e teste de captura híbrida II. As análises estatísticas empregadas foram teste de qui-quadrado de Pearson e análise multivariada pelo método forward likelihood ratio. RESULTADOS: A prevalência total da infecção genital por HPV de alto risco foi de 17,8%, distribuída nas faixas etárias: 27,1% (<25 anos), 21,3% (25-34 anos), 12,1% (35-44 anos), 12,0% (45-54 anos) e de 13,9% (55-65 anos). Participantes com maior número de parceiros sexuais durante a vida apresentaram maior freqüência da infecção. Relacionamento estável, idade de 35 a 44 anos e ex-fumantes foram associados à proteção da infecção. A infecção genital por HPV de alto risco ocorreu em 14,3% das citologias normais, em 77,8% das lesões escamosas de alto grau e nos dois (100%) casos de carcinoma. CONCLUSÕES: A prevalência da infecção genital por HPV de alto risco na amostra estudada foi alta. Houve predomínio de casos abaixo dos 25 anos e tendência a um novo aumento após os 55 anos, com maior freqüência naqueles com maior número de parceiros sexuais durante a vida.

The aim of this essay is to discuss the thesis of the German Sociologist Günter Burkhart that in modern societies a phenomenon appeared which he calls “handymania”, an excessive and nearly addictive use of the mobile phones especially from adolescents. After a short overview about the history of the cell phone, I will relate this development to Jürgen Habermas “theory of communicative action”, more precisely to his diagnosis of a pathological society (“lifeworld”) to find out if the “handymania” could be one expression of it. Adjacent I will present social-psychological theories from E.H.Erikson and Tilmann Habermas to ascertain whether juveniles could really be a high-risk group for this kind of addiction. I will focus on the ability to communicate in an Habermasian way that could be seriously harmed by the unregulated usage of cell phones.

The most important processes for the creation of S12+ to S14+ ions excited states from the ground configurations of S9+ to S14+ ions in an electron cyclotron resonance ion source, leading to the emission of K X-ray lines, are studied. Theoretical values for inner-shell excitation and ionization cross sections, including double KL and triple KLL ionization, transition probabilities and energies for the deexcitation processes, are calculated in the framework of the multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method. With reasonable assumptions about the electron energy distribution, a theoretical K$\alpha$ X-ray spectrum is obtained, which is compared to recent experimental data.

Previous experiments revealed that DHH1, a RNA helicase involved in the regulation of mRNA stability and translation, complemented the phenotype of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant affected in the expression of genes coding for monocarboxylic-acids transporters, JEN1 and ADY2 (Paiva S, Althoff S, Casal M, Leao C. FEMS Microbiol Lett, 1999, 170∶301–306). In wild type cells, JEN1 expression had been shown to be undetectable in the presence of glucose or formic acid, and induced in the presence of lactate. In this work, we show that JEN1 mRNA accumulates in a dhh1 mutant, when formic acid was used as sole carbon source. Dhh1 interacts with the decapping activator Dcp1 and with the deadenylase complex. This led to the hypothesis that JEN1 expression is post-transcriptionally regulated by Dhh1 in formic acid. Analyses of JEN1 mRNAs decay in wild-type and dhh1 mutant strains confirmed this hypothesis. In these conditions, the stabilized JEN1 mRNA was associated to polysomes but no Jen1 protein could be detected, either by measurable lactate carrier activity, Jen1-GFP fluorescence detection or western blots. These results revealed the complexity of the expression regulation of JEN1 in S. cerevisiae and evidenced the importance of DHH1 in this process. Additionally, microarray analyses of dhh1 mutant indicated that Dhh1 plays a large role in metabolic adaptation, suggesting that carbon source changes triggers a complex interplay between transcriptional and post-transcriptional effects.

[Excerpt] Bone tissue engineering is a very challenging and promising field, which handles with the limitations of bone regenerative capacity and the failure of current orthopedic implants [1]. This work describes the preparation and characterization of an injectable dextrin-based hydrogel (oDex) able to incorporate nanoparticles, cells, biomolecules or Bonelike~ granules [2]. (...)

Das Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätssyndrom, in der Praxis kurz ADHS genannt, istmit einer Prävalenz von 5% seit vielen Jahren eine der häufigsten Störungen im Kindes- undJugendalter. In dieser Arbeit wird das Phänomen ADHS vorgestellt. Aufgrund einerumfassenden Literaturrecherche konnten Informationen und Studien in die Arbeiteinbezogen werden, die es ermöglichen das Störungsbild umfassend zu beschreiben. DieKernsymptomatik ist durch motorische Unruhe, Impulsivität und Aufmerksamkeitsstörungengekennzeichnet. Entsprechende Symptomkriterien werden in den KlassifikationsystemenICD-10 und DSM IV definiert. Die ADHS wird als eine Störung über die Lebensspannebezeichnet, da sie in vielen Fällen chronisch verläuft. In der Diagnostik von ADHS beinhaltenVerfahren vor allem die methodische Erfassung beeinträchtigter Funktionen. DieseVerfahren werden auf dem Erkenntnisgewinn zu charakteristischen Symptomen aufgebaut.Obwohl die ADHS oftmals erfolgreich mit Stimulanzien und anderen Psychopharmakabehandelt wird, ist die Nachhaltigkeit der Wirksamkeitseffekte unklar. Deshalb solltentherapeutische Interventionen in eine „Multimodale Therapie“ einbezogen werden. Auchwenn Experten seit vielen Jahren zum Thema ADHS geforscht haben, ist das Störungsbildund deren Auswirkungen auf sämtliche Funktionsbereiche noch nicht vollständig erklärt.Schlüsselwörter: ADHS-Klassifikation-Symptomatik-Chronifizierung-Diagnostik-MultimodaleTherapie

Alzheimer ist eine neurodegenerative Erkrankung deren molekulare Ursache, die Anhäufung von Amyloid-Plaques im Gehirn und die Bildung von Neurofibrillen in den Nervenzellen ist. Grund für diese molekularen Ursachen ist das Peptid Amylois beta, welches sich im Gehirn von Alzheimer Patienten anhäuft und zu Fibrillen aggregiert. In der Arbeit wurde untersucht, ob es Unterschiede bezüglich des proteolytischen Abbaus zwischen Abetafibrillen 1-40, 3-40 und pE3-40 gibt und ob die Fibrillen von unterschiedlichen Enzymen abgebaut werden können. Zudem wurden die Spaltprodukte, die bei diesem Abbau entstanden, miteinander verglichen und analysiert. Es wurde also untersucht, ob die Enzyme eine abbauende Wirkung auf aggregierte Aβ-Peptide haben und wie sich diese im Vergleich zu den gelösten Abeta-Peptiden verhalten. Die Untersuchungen fanden mit den Enzymen Neprilysin, Neprilysin 2, Insulysin, Matrix-Metalloproteinasen 2, 3, 9, 13, Plasmin, Plasma Kallikrein, Tissue Kallikrein und Meprin A statt und wurden Mittels MALDO-TOF analysiert.
