Molecular characterization of the NSP4 gene of human group A rotavirus samples from the West Central region of Brazil

Nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4), encoded by group A rotavirus genome segment 10, is a multifunctional protein and the first recognized virus-encoded enterotoxin. The NSP4 gene has been sequenced, and five distinct genetic groups have been described: genotypes A-E. NSP4 genotypes A, B, and C have been detected in humans. In this study, the NSP4-encoding gene of human rotavirus strains of different G and P genotypes collected from children between 1987 and 2003 in three cities of West Central region of Brazil was characterized. NSP4 gene of 153 rotavirus-positive fecal samples was amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and then sequenced. For phylogenetic analysis, NSP4 nucleotide sequences of these samples were compared to nucleotide sequences of reference strains available in GenBank. Two distinct NSP4 genotypes could be identified: 141 (92.2%) sequences clustered with NSP4 genotype B, and 12 sequences (7.8%) clustered with NSP4 genotype A. These results reinforce that further investigations are needed to assess the validity of NSP4 as a suitable target for epidemiologic surveillance of rotavirus infections and vaccine development.

Adenovirus, calicivirus and astrovirus detection in fecal samples of hospitalized children with acute gastroenteritis from Campo Grande, MS, Brazil

We analyzed fecal samples from hospitalized children up to three years of age with acute gastroenteritis at Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, from May 2000-January 2004. Astrovirus and calicivirus were detected by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction and adenovirus was detected using the Rotavirus and Adenovirus combined immunoenzyme assay. Astrovirus, adenovirus and calicivirus were detected at rates of 3.1%, 3.6% and 7.6%, respectively. These results re-emphasize the need for the establishment of regional vigilance systems to evaluate the impact of enteric viruses on viral gastroenteritis.

Molecular characterization of hepatitis A virus isolates from Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is a public health problem worldwide and the virus has been classified into six genotypes. In Brazil, the only genotype that has been found is genotype I, predominately from subgenotype IA. Here, the HAV genotypes were analyzed of 18 isolates circulating between 1996-2001 in Goiânia, state of Goiás, Brazil. Viral RNA was extracted from 18 serum samples and amplified (RT-PCR/nested-PCR), followed by the genomic sequencing of the VP1/2A junction region of the HAV genome. Sequences of 168 nucleotides were compared and analyzed using the BLAST N, Clustal X and PAUP v. 4.10b programs. All samples were classified as genotype I, with 10 belonging to subgenotype IA and eight to subgenotype IB. The subgenotype IA isolates showed greater diversity than the subgenotype IB isolates at the nucleotide level. Elevated identity values were found between isolates obtained in this study and those from other regions of the world, including Brazil, highlighting the high conservation among different isolates of this virus. However, changes in the HAV subgenotype circulation could also be observed during the evaluated period.

The circulation of human astrovirus genotypes in the Central West Region of Brazil

Out of 1,588 faecal samples of children taken from three locations of the Central West Region of Brazil, 57 were positive for astroviruses (HAstVs) using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). They were genotyped by nested RT-PCR and/or genomic sequencing. HAstV-1 (42.8%), HAstV-2 (23.2%), HAstV-3 (3.6%), HAstV-4 (14.3%) and HAstVs -5, -6, -7 and -8 (1.8% each) were detected. In Goiânia and Campo Grande, HAstV-1 was the most frequently detected genotype while in Brasília (DF) it was HAstV-2. Shifts in the circulation of astrovirus genotypes were observed in DF and Campo Grande. All samples collected by rectal swabs were viral negative. The astrovirus genotypes were detected in all age groups and there was no correlation between genotype and age group.

Molecular characterization of adenoviruses from children presenting with acute respiratory disease in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and detection of an isolate genetically related to feline adenovirus

Human adenoviruses (HAdV) are a major cause of acute respiratory diseases (ARD), gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis and urinary infections. Between November 2000-April 2007, a total of 468 nasopharyngeal aspirate samples were collected from children with ARD at the Clinics Hospital of Uberlândia. These samples were tested by immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and 3% (14/468) tested positive for the presence of HAdV. By performing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect HAdV DNA in samples that tested negative or inconclusive for all viruses identifiable by IFA (respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza viruses 1, 2 and 3, influenza viruses A and B and HAdV), as well as negative for rhinoviruses by reverse transcription-PCR, additional 19 cases were detected, for a total of 33 (7.1%) HAdV-positive samples. Nucleotide sequences of 13 HAdV samples were analyzed, revealing that they belonged to species B, C and E. Further analyses showed that species C (HAdV-2) was the most prevalent among the sequenced samples. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing the presence of HAdV-4 in Brazil. We also detected an isolate that was 100% identical to a part of the feline adenovirus hexon gene sequence.

Human rhinovirus in the lower respiratory tract infections of young children and the possible involvement of a secondary respiratory viral agent

Human rhinoviruses (HRV) are usually associated with mild respiratory symptoms in children. However, some studies have found that HRV can cause severe disease, especially when the patient is co-infected with a second virus. In this study, 532 nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPAs) were collected over a nine-year period from children at the Clinics Hospital of Uberlândia. The collected NPAs were then tested for HRV RNA using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Eighty-three specimens from children diagnosed with lower respiratory tract illness (LRTI) were positive for HRV RNA and were then tested for the presence of eight other respiratory viruses. A second virus was detected in 37.3% (31/83) of the samples. The most frequent clinical diagnosis was bronchiolitis, followed by other LRTI and then pneumonia. The frequency of severe disease in children infected with more than one virus was not significantly different from the frequency of severe disease in children infected with HRV alone. Children infected with both HRV and parainfluenza virus (1.5 m.o.) were significantly younger than those infected by HRV alone (5.0 m.o.) (p = 0.0454). Overall, these results suggest that infection with a second virus does not lead to a higher frequency of severe syndromes in children presenting with LRTI.

Monitoring the circulation of rotavirus among children after the introduction of the RotarixTM vaccine in Goiânia, Brazil

The epidemiological features of rotavirus A (RVA) infection differ between children from developing and developed countries which could result in differences in vaccine efficacy around the world. To evaluate the impact of RotarixTM on RVA prevalence, we monitored RVA genotypes circulating in Goiânia by monitoring virus in faecal samples from children that had or had not been previously vaccinated. From February-November of 2008, 220 faecal samples were collected from children in seven day-care centres. RVA detection was performed by two methodologies and the results were confirmed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. From the 220 samples, eight were RVA-positive (3.6%) and five were from children that had received either one or two doses of the vaccine. All positive samples were collected from children with diarrhoea during August and September. Genotyping of the RVA characterised five of the viral samples as genotype G2P[4] and one as G8P[4], suggesting that G2P[4] was the predominant circulating genotype in Goiânia during the study. The fact that vaccinated children were also infected by RVA suggests that the vaccine does not fully protect against infection by the G2[P4] RVA genotype.

Human bocavirus 1 and 3 infection in children with acute gastroenteritis in Brazil

To determine the positivity rate of human bocavirus (HBoV) 1 and 3 among children who presented with acute gastroenteritis symptoms during the period of 1994-2004 in the Central-West Region of Brazil, 762 faecal samples were tested using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection of HBoV DNA. Primers for a segment of the non-structural viral protein 1 (NS1) gene of HBoV-1 and HBoV-3 were used. Twelve HBoV-positive samples were further characterised via genomic sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. Of the samples tested, 5.8% (n = 44) were positive for HBoV-1 or HBoV-3 and co-infection was observed in 14 (31.8%) of the 44 HBoV-positive samples. Nine of the 14 samples were also positive for Rotavirus A and five were positive for Aichi virus. The genomic sequencing of the NS1 partial sequence of 12 HBoV-samples showed that 11 samples were characterised as HBoV-1 and that one was characterised as HBoV-3. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the HBoV-1 samples had a high sequence homology to others previously identified in China, Sweden and Brazil. This is the first study conducted in the Central-West Region of Brazil to detect HBoV-1 and HBoV-3 in faecal samples from children with acute gastroenteritis. Further studies are required to define the role of HBoVs as aetiological agents of gastroenteritis.

Vivências de mulheres à dor no infarto do miocárdio

O estudo objetivou compreender os significados da experiência da dor em mulheres que sofreram infarto do miocárdio e identificar as suas ações imediatas diante da mesma. A pesquisa qualitativa utilizou a teoria do Interacionismo Simbólico e a metodologia da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados. Quarenta e três mulheres foram entrevistadas em Hospital Universitário. A categoria central que expressou o sentido da experiência foi "Tendo uma ruptura com a vida cotidiana". As categorias que revelaram essa ruptura mostraram que diante da dor crescente as mulheres se sentiram dominadas e com medo de morrer, pois perderam o controle pessoal sobre o corpo e a vida. Não reconheceram o infarto e resistiram, a princípio, à procura de atendimento, fazendo tentativas para minorar a dor. Interagindo com a dor insuportável e com a impotência no seu controle, pediram a salvação Divina, ajuda às pessoas e recorreram a tratamento médico.

L’assalt de l’aristocràcia gal•loromana al poder episcopal (darrer quart del s. IV-primer quart del s. VI): estratègies de persuasió social i controvèrsies doctrinals derivades de les interpretacions aristocratitzants de la comunitat cristiana

Estudi realitzat a partir d’una estada al Laboratoire d’études sur les monothéismes (UMR 8584, Centre national de la recherche scientifique / École pratique des hautes études / Université Paris IV-Sorbonne), França, entre 2010 i 2011. Anàlisi de la crisi estructural que afectà a l’església gal•la entre el darrer quart del segle IV i el primer del segle VI, crisi causada per la cristianització a gran escala de les elits aristocràtiques gal•loromanes i per la reivindicació per part d’aquest estament de la translació a l’esfera de la jerarquia institucional de l’Església de la seva preeminència econòmica i social. Aquest procés implicà l’aparició d’algunes interpretacions del “fet existencial cristià” que tractaven de legitimar en el plànol teòric la presa del control de les comunitats cristianes per part de la noblesa senatorial. En relació a aquest últim punt, s’ha donat particular rellevància a l’anomenada “controvèrsia semipelagiana” a Provença, amb especial èmfasi en dos punts: a) la relació entre l’oposició a la teologia agustiniana de la gràcia en alguns cercles monàstics provençals –Marsella, Lérins– i l’emergència en aquests ambients d’una literatura autobiogràfica en la que la reflexió sobre els conceptes de uocatio divina i conuersio a l’ascetisme cristià està estretament vinculada a un esforç teòric de redefinició i reorientació de l’ethos aristocràtic; i b) la relació entre els punts teològics debatuts en aquesta controvèrsia i les concepcions eclesiològiques dels pensadors que hi prengueren part –entengui’s aquí per eclesiologia la definició teòrica dels límits i dels fonaments de la “comunitat cristiana”, amb especial incidència en aquest cas en els plantejaments sobre el rol que l’aristòcrata havia d’exercir en aquestes noves comunitats “transversals”–. Aquest projecte bianual ha posat de manifest la inexistència d’una “teologia semipelagiana”, ateses les antagòniques concepcions eclesiològiques dels autors tradicionalment associats a aquesta corrent de pensament: Cassià entén la comunitat cristiana com una elit ascètica en la que els criteris “laics” d’estratificació social queden suspesos, i rebutja –en la teoria i en la pràctica– que aquesta elit hagi d’assumir el lideratge de la comunitat de fidels seglars; en els autors del cercle de Lérins, en canvi, l’oposició a la teologia agustiniana de la gràcia és inspirada per l’esforç d’importar a tota la comunitat cristiana els ideals monàstics, quelcom que fou també una via de legitimació de l’autoritat dels monjos-bisbes d’origen aristocràtic sorgits del cenobi de Lérins.

Borges: fervor de Dante

Ya son más de una docena los estudios dedicados a la asimilación de Dante en la obra de Borges, pero la dispersión bibliográfica y la carencia de una edición crítica de los textos borgesianos pueden suponer un obstáculo serio para quien pretenda estudiar este aspecto de forma sistemática. Por ello, en este artículo se ofrece una síntesis de los problemas que entraña la presencia de Dante en Borges (cronología de su presencia, tendencias de la crítica y significado de Dante en la poética del escritor argentino). También se ofrece un corpus, ordenado y completo, de las menciones de Dante en las narraciones, ensayos y poemas del bonaerense, que incluye los ensayos que este dedicó a la Comedia, los recuerdos autobiográficos que le conciernen, las menciones generales y precisas, y los comentaristas de Dante que citó a lo largo de sus textos

Aportació de les traduccions rosselloneses del segle XIX a la construcció del sistema lingüísticoliterari català

Les traduccions catalanes impreses al Rosselló en el segle XIX són cinc; totes de temàtica religiosa. Rafael Crusat traduí la Novena al glorios patriarca Sant Josep, Digne Espos de la Sempre Verge Maria (1711) reimpresa al segle XIX; Pere Marcè i Sentaló traduí Los set salms penitencials en versos catalans segons lo sentit literal (1802); d'autor desconegut són el Compendi del catecisme al us de totas las iglesias del imperi francès (1807) i els Cantichs catalans, traduits dels cantichs de Sant Sulpici (1826); Joan Miquel Aymar traduí­ la Carta apostolica de N.S. Pare Pio per la providencia divina papa sobre la definicio dogmatica de la immaculada concepció (1889). Aquestes traduccions es justifiquen per la necessitat comunicativa del català  a la diòcesi d'Elna Perpinyà : els catecismes, les pregàries, els cants i les novenes s'hi feien en català . Ara bé, aquestes traduccions apareixen en un moment en què la llengua catalana roman abandonada a l'oralitat familiar i és precisament arran d'això que tenen un gran mèrit en la construcció de la nostra llengua nacional a la Catalunya Nord. En el segle XIX, el del triomf de la "catalanada", quan el país s'hagués pogut decantar cap al secessionisme lingüístic, tot entronitzant el parlar rossellonès com a llengua local, els traductors d'obres religioses utilitzen una ortografia etimològica i una varietat de llengua supradialectal.

Conversions per rumba: L'extensió del pentecostalisme entre els gitanos catalans i el paper de les pràctiques musicals

Malgrat que el pentecostalisme gitano censura les pràctiques musicals no dedicades a l'adoració divina, una aproximació històrica i etnogràfica al cas dels gitanos catalans posa de manifest diverses transferències entre el fenomen sociomusical de la rumba catalana i aquest moviment evangèlic. Per resseguir aquestes continuïtats i influències mútues l'article parteix d'una concepció de les conversions religioses com a processos col·lectius i negociats que cal situar en els seus contextos històrics, per la qual cosa es perfila el paisatge social gitanocatalà previ i contemporani a l'extensió del pentecostalisme entre aquests grups de població, des dels anys 80 fins a l'actualitat, exposant alguns dels factors que han possibilitat aquest fenomen. Seguidament s'examina el paper que la rumba catalana -les seves pràctiques, els seus artistes i protagonistes, la seva trajectòria històrica, les seves funcions socials, els seus significats- juga en la incorporació de l'evangelisme pentecostal als contextos socials gitanocatalans.
