CONFLITO RELIGIOSO, MARTÍRIO E EXALTAÇÃO VISIONÁRIA: O CASO DE ESTEVÃO EM ATOS 6,1-8,3

Nesta dissertação nos propomos a fazer uma leitura da narrativa de Atos dos Apóstolos 6,1-8,3, considerando-a nos moldes de uma antiga tradição de martírio. Os Helenistas entram em conflito com os Hebreus, Estevão entra em atrito com os judeus da diáspora que se reúnem nas sinagogas, e é levado perante o Sinédrio e executado. O motivo de sua execução é a crítica à Lei e ao Templo. Depois de ter uma experiência de êxtase visionário ele é violentamente assassinado. Lucas, todavia, descreve Estevão como herói vitorioso. A realidade de conflitos, oposição, perseguição e martírio não se constitui em derrota, mas em fortalecimento da fé. A morte de Estevão é interpretada dentro desta tradição. A compreensão do caso de Estevão e dos Helenistas é fundamental para entender a continuação do movimento dos seguidores de Jesus e o início do desenvolvimento da Cristologia após o evento pascal.(AU)

Stimulation of renin secretion by nitric oxide is mediated by phosphodiesterase 3

This study aimed to characterize the cellular pathways along which nitric oxide (NO) stimulates renin secretion from the kidney. Using the isolated perfused rat kidney model we found that renin secretion stimulated 4- to 8-fold by low perfusion pressure (40 mmHg), by macula densa inhibition (100 μmol/liter of bumetanide), and by adenylate cyclase activation (3 nmol/liter of isoproterenol) was markedly attenuated by the NO synthase inhibitor nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-Name) (1 mM) and that the inhibition by l-Name was compensated by the NO-donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) (10 μmol/liter). Similarly, inhibition of cAMP degradation by blockade of phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE-1) (20 μmol/liter of 8-methoxymethyl-1-methyl-3-(2-methylpropyl)xanthine) or of PDE-4 (20 μmol/liter of rolipram) caused a 3- to 4-fold stimulation of renin secretion that was attenuated by l-Name and that was even overcompensated by sodium nitroprusside. Inhibition of PDE-3 by 20 μmol/liter of milrinone or by 200 nmol/liter of trequinsin caused a 5- to 6-fold stimulation of renin secretion that was slightly enhanced by NO synthase inhibition and moderately attenuated by NO donation. Because PDE-3 is a cGMP-inhibited cAMP-PDE the role of endogenous cGMP for the effects of NO was examined by the use of the specific guanylate cyclase inhibitor 1-H-(1,2,4)oxodiazolo(4,3a)quinoxalin-1-one (20 μmol). In the presence of 1H-[1,2,4]oxodiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one the effect of NO on renin secretion was abolished, whereas PDE-3 inhibitors exerted their normal effects. These findings suggest that PDE-3 plays a major role for the cAMP control of renin secretion. Our findings are compatible with the idea that the stimulatory effects of endogenous and exogenous NO on renin secretion are mediated by a cGMP-induced inhibition of cAMP degradation.

Revista moderna : Anno 1, n. 3 (25 julho 1897)

Impressa em papel couché. De acordo com Ana Luiza Martins em sua obra "Revistas em revista": "A Revista Moderna, impressa em Paris, em 1897, introduzia o que havia de mais avançado em periodismo, primando por elaboradas reportagens, coberturas de acontecimentos marcantes do tempo, geralmente ilustradas com desenhos tomados a partir dos acontecimentos, não se furtando ao sensacionalismo em voga."
