A epilepsia do lobo temporal (ELT) é a principal forma de epilepsia, e a principal lesão desenvolvida por pacientes com ELT é a esclerose mesial temporal (EMT) apresentando perda neuronal, gliose e atrofia da região do hipocampo. Os íons cálcio são fundamentais para o funcionamento de inúmeras vias metabólicas em todos os níveis fisiológicos e desempenham papel fundamental nas respostas de despolarização neuronal. Foi comprovado que a ativação tanto de receptores ionotrópicos quanto metabotrópicos de glutamato promove o influxo anormal de Ca2+ para o meio intracelular, potencializando o efeito de excitação associado à EMT. O cálcio atua tanto como mensageiro celular secundário, quanto primário através da interação com um receptor específico na superfície celular, o Receptor Sensor de Cálcio (CASR). O CASR é expresso em diversas regiões do cérebro, incluindo o hipocampo, no entanto são desconhecidas muitas das possíveis funções desempenhadas por este receptor no cérebro. Ele pertence à família de receptores acoplados a proteína-G, e exibe homologia significativa com os receptores metabotrópicos de glutamato (mGluRs). Ademais, os mGluRs regulam a expressão da família de proteínas ligantes de cálcio neuronal, da qual faz parte a proteína VILIP-1, associada especificamente com o fenômeno da plasticidade sináptica no cérebro. O objetivo deste projeto foi determinar a expressão das proteínas CASR, mGluR1 e VILIP-1 em tecidos de hipocampo de pacientes com epilepsia do lobo temporal comparando com a expressão de tecidos de indivíduos normais. Os três genes encontraram-se subexpressos nos tecidos de pacientes com ELT, sendo que os tecidos dos pacientes, em grau crônico da doença, justificam tais graus de expressão. Sugere-se uma possível interação entre CASR e mGluR1 e...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

The eggs are pointed in several studies as the main cause of human salmonellosis. Have been identified that eggs are eaten raw or poorly processed are mainly responsible for outbreaks of human infection with Salmonella spp. Besides causing problems to public health, the presence of bacteria impedes or hinders the international food trade, as a sanitary barrier. Several factors predisposing to contamination of the internal contents of eggs for Salmonella spp., including the egg shell quality (shell quality), which is related to levels of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) in the diet of quails . The experiment used eggs of Japanese quail under different diets containing two levels of Ca (2.0 and 3.5%) and two levels of available P (0.25 and 0.45%). Eggs of 120 japanese quails were divided into four treatments with three replicates. The experiment was divided into three production stages: initial, intermediate and final. Were assessed at each stage the presence of bacteria in internal and external content of experimentally contaminated eggs during periods of 0, 24, 96 and 168 hours after immersion in broth containing Salmonella Enteriditis. Salmonella Enteriditis was detected in the shell during all periods of storage, in decreasing amounts in all treatments. None of the treatments within the three production stages analyzed, we detected significant amounts of the bacteria inside the egg, in our experimental conditions. Therefore, the levels of Ca and P in the diets of quail do not determine higher or lower risks to public health represented by eggs

The increasing demand for electro-electronic devices, with high performance and multi-functional and the rapid advances of the nanotechnology require the development of new methods and techniques for the production and characterization of nanostructure materials and phenomenological models to describe/to predict some of its properties. The demand for multifunctionality requires, at least, new materials, that can integrate ferroelectric and magnetic properties of high technological interest. Inside of this context, multiferroics material can be considered suitable to integrate two or more physical properties of high technological interest. It can also provides new challenges in the processes of synthesis of new materials, and development of new devices with controlling and simulation of its physical properties and modeling. For this Calcium (Ca)-doped bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) thin films prepared by using the polymeric precursor method (PPM) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), polarization and piezoelectric measurements.In order to study the behavior and determine which are the most important parameters to achieve the optimal property to be applied to a multiferroic materials

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the pH of calcium hydroxide (CalenTM) when associated or not with chlorhexidine 0.4%, and when associated with chlorhexidine with the addition of 20% or 10% of alphatocopherol (AchéTM), assessed in several periods of time. Methods: Fourty dentine tubes 20 mm, properly standardized, were made from bovine anterior teeth roots. Following, a perforation was achieved in the roots distal face at 7 mm from the cervical radicular line by using a #1/2 carbide bur. After complete root sealing is made, except in the perforation local, the radicular canals were filled with one of the following associations: Group I – Calen®; Group II – Calen™ with chlorehxidine at 0.4%; Group III – Calen™ with chlorhexidine at 0.4% with the addition of 20% (weight) of alhatocopherol compound and Group IV – Calen™ with chlorhexidine at 0.4% with the addition of 10% (weight) alphatocopherol. After cervical sealing is accomplished, the roots were immersed in water MiliQ and the pH, assessed in 24h, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 45 days. Results and Conclusion: In all periods tested, the pH of the calcium hydroxide (Calen™) was similar to the pH of the calcium hydroxide (Calen™) associated with chlorhexidine 0.4% and 10% alphatocopherol (p > 0.05). The association of 20% alphatocopherol obtained the pH lower than the association with 10% (p < 0.05). The pH of the association with chlorhexidine was similar to the pure calcium hydrocide (Calen™) after the 14th day (p > 0.05) only. Therefore, on the 45th day, this difference was significant again (p < 0.05).

A resistência do biofilme endodôntico pode requerer um período maior de permanência da medicação intracanal a fim de prolongar sua ação antimicrobiana. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a ação antimicrobiana residual das medicações intracanal: G1) hidróxido de cálcio + soro; G2) Calen; G3) Calen + PMCC; G4) Calen + clorexidina 0,4% e G5) clorexidina gel 2% frente à Enterococcus faecalis, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus e Kocuria rhizophila em 60 canais radiculares bovinos. Os canais radiculares foram instrumentados e preenchidos com as medicações intracanal, as quais foram removidas após os períodos experimentais (15, 30, 60 e 90 dias) e empregadas na técnica de difusão em ágar. Os halos de inibição foram evidenciados por gel de TTC e então mensurados. Os dados de halos de inibição foram submetidos à análise estatística dos testes Kruskall-Wallis e Dunn, com nível de significância de 5%. O Ca(OH)2 + soro apresentou efeito até o período de 15 dias. A pasta Calen demonstrou efeito residual aos 60 dias frente ao S. aureus, enquanto Calen/PMCC até o período de 90 dias frente à S. aureus e K. rhizophila e aos 30 dias para E. faecalis. A pasta Calen associado à clorexidina foi efetiva frente à E. faecalis até o período de 60 dias. A clorexidina gel 2% apresentou ação residual em todos os períodos, com exceção de E. faecalis aos 90 dias, também apresentou atividade antimicrobiana mais prolongada, seguido das associações do hidróxido de cálcio com clorexidina e PMCC.

The objective of this trial was to evaluate the effect of ascorbic acid (AA) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) applied by immersion at temperatures of 20 and 40 degrees C on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of minimally processed cabbage, stored under refrigeration. Cabbages were processed in an industrial food processing equipment to be cut in slices with thickness of 3 mm. Slices were immersed in sodium hypochlorite (50 ppm) during 5 minutes for sanitization. After, the following treatments were carried out T1= control (immersion in water during 5 minutes at 20 degrees C); T2= immersion in 1% AA solution, during 5 minutes at 20 degrees C; T3= immersion in 2% AA solution, during 5 minutes at 20 degrees C; T4= immersion in 1% CaCl2 solution during 5 minutes at 20 degrees C; T5= immersion in 2% CaCl2 solution during 5 minutes at 20 degrees C, T6= immersion in 1% CaCl2 solution during 5 minutes at 40 degrees C; and T7= immersion in 2% CaCl2 solution during 5 minutes at 40 degrees C; with four replications each one. After application of treatments, cabbage was centrifuged during one minute, wrapped with polyvinyl chloride, 20 mu m, in trays of expanded polystyrene and maintained in refrigerated environment, at 6 +/- 1 degrees C and 85-90% of relative humidity, during eight days. Little increasing was observed in pH and titratable acidity values and reduction in soluble solids during conservation period on all treatments. Treatment with AA did not differ from control for color and general appearance, while treatment with 2% CaCl2 at 20 degrees C maintained the best quality, with less intensity of browning, best general appearance and purchase intent and least strange odor at the end of evaluation period.
