Cloning, characterization and functional analysis of a 1-FEH cDNA from Vernonia herbacea (Vell.) Rusby

Variations in the inulin contents have been detected in rhizophores of Vernonia herbacea during the phenological cycle. These variations indicate the occurrence of active inulin synthesis and depolymerization throughout the cycle and a role for this carbohydrate as a reserve compound. 1-Fructan exohydrolase (1-FEH) is the enzyme responsible for inulin depolymerization, and its activity has been detected in rhizophores of sprouting plants. Defoliation and low temperature are enhancer conditions of this 1-FEH activity. The aim of the present work was the cloning of this enzyme. Rhizophores were collected from plants induced to sprout, followed by storage at 5C. A full length 1-FEH cDNA sequence was obtained by PCR and inverse PCR techniques, and expressed in Pichia pastoris. Cold storage enhances FEH gene expression. Vh1-FEH was shown to be a functional 1-FEH, hydrolyzing predominantly -2,1 linkages, sharing high identity with chicory FEH sequences, and its activity was inhibited by 81 in the presence of 10 mM sucrose. In V. herbacea, low temperature and sucrose play a role in the control of fructan degradation. This is the first study concerning the cloning and functional analysis of a 1-FEH cDNA of a native species from the Brazilian Cerrado. Results will contribute to understanding the role of fructans in the establishment of a very successful fructan flora of the Brazilian Cerrado, subjected to water limitation and low temperature during winter.

Tripalmitin and monoacylglycerols as modifiers in the crystallisation of palm oil

An exhaustive analysis of the crystallisation behaviour of palm oil was performed using low-resolution magnetic pulsed nuclear resonance, differential scanning calorimetry, polarised light microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The aim of this study was to characterise the changes induced in the crystallisation of palm oil by the addition of two different levels of tripalmitin and two different types of monoacylglycerols. The addition of monoacylglycerols led to the formation of a large number of crystallisation nuclei without changing the final solids content, accelerating the process of crystal formation, leading to the formation of smaller crystals than those found in the refined palm oil. Higher levels of tripalmitin produced crystals with larger dimensions, reducing the induction period and resulted in a higher level of solids at the end of the crystallisation period. The addition of monoacylglycerols and tripalmitin induced the formation of a polymorphic beta-form. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Potential of Amaranthus cruentus BRS Alegria in the production of flour, starch and protein concentrate: chemical, thermal and rheological characterization

BACKGROUND: Amaranth is a little-known culture in Brazilian agriculture. Amaranthus cruentus BRS Alegria was the first cultivar recommended by Embrapa for the soil of the Brazilian scrubland. In order to evaluate the potential of this species in the production of flour, starch and protein concentrates, the latter products were obtained from A. cruentus BRS Alegria seeds, characterized and compared with the products obtained from the A. caudatus species cultivated in its soil of origin. RESULTS: The seeds of A. cruentus BRS Alegria furnished high-purity starch and flour with significant content of starch, proteins, and lipids. The starch and flour of this species presented higher gelatinization temperatures and formed stronger gels upon cooling compared with those obtained from the A. caudatus species. This is due to their greater amylose content and a difference in the composition of the more important fatty acids, such as stearic, oleic and linoleic acids, which indicates that they have greater heat stability. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and differential scanning calorimetry revealed the presence of albumins, globulins, glutelins and prolamins in the protein concentrate, which was obtained as a byproduct of starch production. CONCLUSION: Amaranthus cruentus BRS Alegria has potential application in the production of flour, starch and protein concentrates, with interesting characteristics for use as food ingredients.

Lipid goals among patients with diabetes or metabolic syndrome: Lipid Treatment Assessment Project (L-TAP) 2

Objective: This analysis of the Lipid Treatment Assessment Project 2 population compared lipid goal attainment by diabetes and metabolic syndrome status. Research design and methods: Dyslipidaemic patients aged >= 20 years on stable lipid lowering therapy had their lipid levels determined once during enrolment at investigation sites in nine countries between September 2006 and April 2007. Achievement of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol success, triglycerides < 150 mg/dl (1.7 mmol/l), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol success (> 40 mg/dl [1.0 mmol/l] in men or > 50 mg/dl [1.3 mmol/l] in women) was compared using logistic regression. Results: A total of 9955 patients were evaluated. Patients with diabetes, compared with those without diabetes, had lower achievement of LDL cholesterol goals (according to National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel [NCEP ATP] III guidelines; 67% vs. 75%), triglycerides < 150 mg/dl (55% vs. 64%), and HDL cholesterol success (61% vs. 74%; p < 0.0001 for all comparisons). The significantly lower lipid goal attainment in patients with diabetes was consistent across participating world regions. Patients with metabolic syndrome, compared with those without metabolic syndrome, had lower achievement of NCEP ATP III LDL cholesterol goals (69% vs. 76%), triglycerides < 150 mg/dl (36% vs. 83%), and HDL cholesterol success (49% vs. 89%; p < 0.0001 for all comparisons). As the number of metabolic syndrome components increased, lipid success rates progressively decreased (p < 0.0001 for LDL cholesterol success, triglycerides < 150 mg/dl, and HDL cholesterol success). Conclusions: This analysis indicates that despite their increased cardiovascular risk, patients with diabetes or metabolic syndrome remain undertreated.

Physicians` attitudes and adherence to use of risk scores for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease: cross-sectional survey in three world regions

Objective: To evaluate physicians` attitudes and adherence to the use of risk scores in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Design and methods: A cross-sectional survey of 2056 physicians involved in the primary prevention of CVD. Participants included cardiologists (47%), general practitioners (42%), and endocrinologists (11%) from several geographical regions: Brazil (n=968), USA (n=381), Greece (n=275), Chile (n=157), Venezuela (n=128), Portugal (n=42), The Netherlands (n=41), and Central America (Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador and Guatemala; n=64). Results: The main outcome measure was the percentage of responses on a multiple-choice questionnaire describing a hypothetical asymptomatic patient at intermediate risk for CVD according to the Framingham Risk Score. Only 48% of respondents reported regular use of CVD risk scores to tailor preventive treatment in the case scenario. Of non-users, nearly three-quarters indicated that `It takes up too much of my time` (52%) or `I don`t believe they add value to the clinical evaluation` (21%). Only 56% of respondents indicated that they would prescribe lipid-lowering therapy for the hypothetical intermediate-risk patient. A significantly greater proportion of regular users than non-users of CVD risk scores identified the need for lipid-lowering therapy in the hypothetical patient (59 vs. 41%; p<0.0001).

Schizophrenia Modifying the Expression of Gender Identity Disorder

According to the Brazilian Federal Medical Association, transsexualism is recognized as a gender identity disorder if a long-term diagnostic therapeutic process has demonstrated that the transposition of gender roles is irreversible, and if only hormonal and surgical procedures are appropriate to relieve the stress associated with the gender identity. Although such treatment will only be initiated with caution and after a long phase of intense diagnostic screening, the differentiation between pure identity disorders and transsexual feelings secondary to an ongoing psychopathologic process, such as schizophrenia, can be arduous for many health professionals. To report a case of a female patient with schizophrenia and transsexualism and the risks of a potential diagnostic confusion. A 19-year-old black woman, with an 8-year history of undifferentiated schizophrenia and intense gender dysphoria, was referred for sex reassignment surgery evaluation in the Ambulatory for the Treatment of Sexual Disorders of the ABC Medical School. After a more adequate antipsychotic treatment, her masculine behavior has persisted, but her desire to change her own genital organs has decreased. A better acceptance of the multiplicity of possible genders should neither contribute to inadequate interpretations of the signs and symptoms of our patients nor facilitate dangerous clinical or surgical recommendations.

Análise de fatores geográficos e climáticos relacionados à distribuição de Phlebotominae (Diptera: Psychodidae) em área de transmissão de leishmaniose tegumentar americana no estado do Espírito Santo, Brasil

A leishmaniose tegumentar americana (LTA) é uma doença que acomete pele e mucosas causada por parasitos dermotrópicos do gênero Leishmania Ross, 1903. Os parasitos são transmitidos através da picada de pequenos dípteros da família Psychodidae, os flebotomíneos. O município de Cariacica, Espírito Santo, Brasil, esteve nos últimos cinco anos (2009 a 2013) entre os cinco que apresentaram maior número de casos notificados no estado, segundo a Secretaria de Estado de Saúde (SESA-ES, 2014). A localidade de Roda D’Água demonstra grande importância, por concentrar elevado número de casos, contribuindo com grande parte das notificações do município. Avaliando os casos da doença na região, registrados nos prontuários médicos do serviço de referência, na Unidade de Medicina Tropical da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, observou-se que estes ocorriam a até 550 m de altitude, numa área que vai de 20 a 718 m. A hipótese mais provável seria a de que o fenômeno fosse relacionado aos vetores, já que o homem e os animais estariam presentes em todas as altitudes. De fevereiro de 2002 a janeiro de 2004 foram realizadas coletas mensais de flebotomíneos em Roda D’Água, que aconteciam simultaneamente em três níveis de altitude, sendo: nível 1 - até 250 m; nível 2 - entre 250 e 500m e nível 3 - acima de 500m. Em cada nível as coletas aconteciam em dois ambientes: mata e peridomicílio. As capturas eram feitas em armadilhas de Shannon modificadas e por busca ativa em repouso, com capturador de Castro. Avaliou-se o comportamento das espécies quanto à pluviosidade (períodos seco e chuvoso) e às estações do ano. Analisaram-se estatisticamente as principais espécies antropofílicas de importância epidemiológica (Falqueto, 1995). Foram calculados os índices ecológicos abundância, riqueza, diversidade, equitabilidade e dominância. Coletou-se um total de 13233 flebotomíneos, com identificação de 23 espécies. A espécie predominante foi Nyssomyia intermedia (61,12%), seguida por Pintomyia fischeri (18,20%) e Migonemyia migonei (8,68%), todas antropofílicas. Somou-se a estas a espécie Pintomyia monticola, que representou 1,67% do total de espécimes coletados e também é altamente antropofílica. As demais espécies somaram 10,10% do total de flebotomineos. A altitude influenciou a distribuição das quatro espécies analisadas, tendo Ny. intermedia e Pi. fischeri sido mais abundantes no nível 2, Mg. migonei mais abundante no nível 1 e Pi. monticola no nível 3. Em relação ao ambiente, as espécies Ny. intermedia e Mg. migonei foram estatisticamente mais abundantes no peridomicílio e Pi. monticola na mata. A distribuição de Pi. fisheri não apresentou diferença significativa entre os dois ambientes, porém foi a única afetada pelas chuvas e estações do ano, sendo a espécie mais encontrada no período seco e no inverno. Nyssomyia intermedia parece ser a principal espécie vetora da LTA em Roda D’Água, com Mg. migonei provavelmente tendo papel secundário. Pi. fisheri não parece estar envolvido localmente na transmissão da doença para humanos, apesar de já ter sido incriminado em outras regiões. A distribuição de Pi. monticola em relação à altitude e ao ambiente indica ser improvável sua participação na transmissão da LTA naquela região.

Destinos turísticos transfronteiriços: uma abordagem ao consumidor

Tourism activities are among the most relevant drivers for economical growth and development in various economies. Every year, competition increases tourist destinations (Farhangmehr & Simões, 1999), making it an increasingly complex and geographically diverse range of activities (Pearce, 1991).Such relevance is reflected in the proliferation of studies in the overall area known as tourism, under various perspectives and backgrounds. Previous studies conducted in such contexts suggest that cross-border regions are an attractive and desirable idea, yet requiring further theoretical and empirical research (Studzieniecki & Mazurek, 2007). The new configuration of many cross-border regions calls for a debate on issues concerning its development, raising up important dimensions, such as, organization and planning of common tourism destinations. In particular, there is still a gap in the understanding of destination management in cross-border regions and the customer profile and motivations. Overall this research aims at attaining a deeper understanding of the profile and behavior of consumers in tourism settings, addressing the predisposition for the destination. To address our question we will take an interdisciplinary perspective bringing together inputs from areas, such as, marketing, tourism and local/regional economics. We developed a theoretical model entailing the following constructs: involvement, place attachment, destination satisfaction and loyalty. We then establish potential the relationships among these variables. We suggest that involvement has a positive and direct effect in the two dimensions of place attachment, as well as indirectly, through the construct of satisfaction. Additionally, satisfaction has a direct effect on destination loyalty. Implications for future research are presented.

Formação técnica no ensino médio e demanda estudantil : um estudo no curso profissionalizante em edificações

A pesquisa proposta revela a preocupação com a pequena demanda para formação técnica profissionalizante de nível médio técnico de edificações na cidade de João Pessoa. Essa preocupação prende-se ao fato de que a Indústria da Construção Civil no seguimento da construção de edificações tem encontrado amplo mercado na Capital do Estado da Paraíba, contudo, os profissionais da área têm escasseado, conforme dados apresentados no corpo do trabalho. A partir do estudo das possíveis causas, se faz uma explanação sobre as Políticas Públicas Brasileiras para a Educação implementada com suas conseqüências na evolução da Educação Profissional e procura analisar os efeitos dessas causas e de outras relacionadas aos problemas de ordem social que possam ter interferido na pouca procura pelo Curso Técnico em Edificações.

Jogos de imagens e espelhos : um olhar sociológico sobre a infância e as crianças em Portugal

Este texto procura caracterizar a situação da infância em Portugal a partir de um conjunto alargado de indicadores. A demografia será um deles, reflletindo acerca da tendência de acelerada diminuição do número de crianças em Portugal. Detemo-nos depois nas transformações da estrutura familiar e nas práticas de educação familiar das crianças. seguidamente analisamos a evolução da legislação portuguesa, caracterizando-a nos planos da educação, saúde e justiça. A análise das políticas de protecção confronta-nos de seguida, com as políticas para as crianças 'das margens' face ao mau-trato e à negligência. Antes de concluirmos, apresentamos alguns indicadores da relação da criança com a cultura
