Planktonic foraminiferal stratigraphy and datum levels of ODP Leg 182 sites

Planktonic foraminifers from Ocean Drilling Program Leg 182, Holes 1126B and 1126C, 1128B and 1128C, 1130A and 1130B, 1132B, and 1134A and 1134B confirm the neritic record that during the early Miocene the Great Australian Bight region was in a cool-temperate regime with abundant Globoturborotalita woodi. Warm marine environments started to develop in the later part of the early Miocene, and the region became warm temperate to subtropical in the early middle Miocene with abundant Globigerinoides, Orbulina, and Globorotalia, corresponding to global warming at the Miocene climatic optimum. Fluctuations between cool- and warm-temperate conditions prevailed during the late Miocene, as indicated by abundant Globoconella conoidea and Menardella spp. A major change in planktonic foraminiferal assemblages close to the Miocene/Pliocene boundary not only drove many Miocene species into extinction but also brought about such new species as Globorotalia crassaformis and Globoconella puncticulata. Warm-temperate environments continued into the early and mid-Pliocene before being replaced by cooler conditions, supporting numerous Globoconella inflata and Globigerina quinqueloba. Based on data from this study and published results from the Australia-New Zealand region, we established a local planktonic foraminifer zonation scheme for separating the southern Australian Neogene (SAN) into Zones SAN1 to SAN19 characterizing the Miocene and Zones SAN20 to SAN25 characterizing the Pliocene. The Neogene sections from the Great Australian Bight are bounded by hiatuses of ~0.5 to >3 m.y. in duration, although poor core recovery in some holes obscured a proper biostratigraphic resolution. A total of 15 hiatuses, numbered 1 to 15, were identified as synchronous events from the base of the Miocene to the lower part of the Pleistocene. We believe that these are local manifestations of major third-order boundaries at about (1) 23.8, (2) 22.3, (3) 20.5, (4) 18.7, (5) 16.4, (6) 14.8, (7) 13.5, (8) 11.5, (9) 9.3, (10) 7.0, (11) 6.0, (12) 4.5, (13) 3.5, (14) 2.5, and (15) 1.5 Ma, respectively. This hiatus-bounded Neogene succession samples regional transgressions and stages of southern Australia and reveals its stepwise evolutionary history.

MCF7/LCC2: A 4-hydroxytamoxifen resistant human breast cancer variant that retains sensitivity to the steroidal antiestrogen ICI 182,780

The development of resistance to the antiestrogen tamoxifen occurs in a high percentage of initially responsive patients. We have developed a new model in which to investigate acquired resistance to triphenylethylenes. A stepwise in vitro selection of the hormone-independent human breast cancer variant MCF-7/LCC1 against 4-hydroxytamoxifen produced a stable resistant population designated MCF7/LCC2. MCF7/LCC2 cells retain levels of estrogen receptor expression comparable to the parental MCF7/LCC1 and MCF-7 cells. Progesterone receptor expression remains estrogen inducible in MCF7/LCC2 cells, although to levels significantly lower than observed in MCF-7 and MCF7/LCC1 cells. MCF7/ LCC2 cells form tumors in ovariectomized nude mice without estrogen supplementation, and these tumors are tamoxifen resistant but can be tstrogen stimulated. Significantly, MCF7/LCC2 cells have retained sensitivity to the steroidal antiestrogen ICI 182,780. These data suggest that some breast cancer patients who acquire resistance to tamoxifen may not develop cross-resistance to treatment with steroidal antiestrogens.

Diário da Constituinte [gravação de vídeo] : [programa n. 182]

O atual projeto de Constituição propõe um sistema misto de governo, com a existência do presidente, como chefe de Estado, e do primeiro-ministro, chefe da administração federal. A proposta não agrada os presidencialistas. Deputado Wagner Lago (PMDB-MA) diz que o parlamentarismo pressupõe partidos políticos fortes e uma burocracia estatal eficiente, o que não é caso do Brasil. O Deputado Paes Andrade (PMDB-CE), representante dos parlamentaristas, afirma que o grupo quer o fortalecimento do Poder Legislativo, recolocando-o no centro das decisões nacionais. Na sessão O Povo Pergunta, cidadã quer saber se a nova Constituição está voltada para os pequenos interesses ou para o interesse da maioria. O Deputado Waldir Pugliese (PMDB-PR) responde que tem esperança de que a nova Constituição seja feita em favor da grande maioria do povo brasileiro. Crianças entregam emenda popular ao Presidente da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte, Deputado Ulysses Guimarães (PMDB-SP), pedindo proteção ao menor em situação de risco e o direito ao ensino gratuito a partir dos sete anos de idade. O Deputado Robson Marinho (PMDB-SP) declara que a nova Constituição deve começar pelas crianças. Deficientes físicos entregam emenda popular buscando um tratamento de igualdade e respeito pelos seus direitos. Sessão Extraordinária da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte (ANC) teve como tema a educação. O Deputado Sólon Borges dos Reis (PTB-SP) afirma que as escolas privadas devem ser autofinanciadas. O Deputado Eraldo Tinoco (PFL-BA) considera que algumas instituições sem fins lucrativos devem receber financiamento público.
