BACKGROUND: Present combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) alone does not cure HIV infection and requires lifelong drug treatment. The potential role of HIV therapeutic vaccines as part of an HIV cure is under consideration. Our aim was to assess the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of Vacc-4x, a peptide-based HIV-1 therapeutic vaccine targeting conserved domains on p24(Gag), in adults infected with HIV-1. METHODS: Between July, 2008, and June, 2010, we did a multinational double-blind, randomised, phase 2 study comparing Vacc-4x with placebo. Participants were adults infected with HIV-1 who were aged 18-55 years and virologically suppressed on cART (viral load <50 copies per mL) with CD4 cell counts of 400 × 10(6) cells per L or greater. The trial was done at 18 sites in Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, and the USA. Participants were randomly assigned (2:1) to Vacc-4x or placebo. Group allocation was masked from participants and investigators. Four primary immunisations, weekly for 4 weeks, containing Vacc-4x (or placebo) were given intradermally after administration of adjuvant. Booster immunisations were given at weeks 16 and 18. At week 28, cART was interrupted for up to 24 weeks. The coprimary endpoints were cART resumption and changes in CD4 counts during treatment interruption. Analyses were by modified intention to treat: all participants who received one intervention. Furthermore, safety, viral load, and immunogenicity (as measured by ELISPOT and proliferation assays) were assessed. The 52 week follow-up period was completed in June, 2011. For the coprimary endpoints the proportion of participants who met the criteria for cART resumption was analysed with a logistic regression model with the treatment effect being assessed in a model including country as a covariate. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00659789. FINDINGS: 174 individuals were screened; because of slow recruitment, enrolment stopped with 136 of a planned 345 participants and 93 were randomly assigned to receive Vacc-4x and 43 to receive placebo. There were no differences between the two groups for the primary efficacy endpoints in those participants who stopped cART at week 28. Of the participants who resumed cART, 30 (34%) were in the Vacc-4x group and 11 (29%) in the placebo group, and percentage changes in CD4 counts were not significant (mean treatment difference -5·71, 95% CI -13·01 to 1·59). However, a significant difference in viral load was noted for the Vacc-4x group both at week 48 (median 23 100 copies per mL Vacc-4x vs 71 800 copies per mL placebo; p=0·025) and week 52 (median 19 550 copies per mL vs 51 000 copies per mL; p=0·041). One serious adverse event, exacerbation of multiple sclerosis, was reported as possibly related to study treatment. Vacc-4x was immunogenic, inducing proliferative responses in both CD4 and CD8 T-cell populations. INTERPRETATION: The proportion of participants resuming cART before end of study and change in CD4 counts during the treatment interruption showed no benefit of vaccination. Vacc-4x was safe, well tolerated, immunogenic, seemed to contribute to a viral-load setpoint reduction after cART interruption, and might be worth consideration in future HIV-cure investigative strategies.

Desenvolveram-se dois experimentos de campo, em áreas de pastagens degradadas, no período de 1991-92, nos municípios de Paranavaí e Altônia, região noroeste do Paraná, em Podzólico Vermelho-Escuro de baixa fertilidade, originários da formação geológica do arenito Caiuá, com o objetivo de avaliar as respostas da mandioca (Manihot esculenta L.) na produção de raízes e as características químicas do solo à adubação mineral NPK e à calagem. O delineamento estatístico foi em blocos casualizados, com 19 tratamentos e quatro repetições, aplicando-se nitrogênio (0, 20, 40 e 60 kg ha-1 de N), fósforo (0, 30, 60, 90 e 120 kg ha-1 de P2O5), potássio (0, 40, 80 e 120 kg ha-1 de K2O) e calcário (0, 850, 1.700 e 2.550 kg ha-1). A produção de raízes de mandioca não apresentou respostas à calagem, adubação nitrogenada e potássica. A adubação potássica não contribuiu para elevar os teores de K no solo. A adubação fosfatada aumentou a produção de raízes de mandioca e os teores de P no solo após o seu cultivo, sendo considerada essencial na produção de mandioca nos dois solos arenosos estudados do noroeste do Paraná.

Objetivou-se estimar os valores da variância, da heterose e heterobeltiose, e da herdabilidade em sentido restrito quanto a altura da planta de trigo (Triticum aestivum L.), comprimento da espiga, comprimento do internódio da raque e produção de grãos, e quanto às correlações de ambiente, fenotípicas e genéticas, entre essas características. Foram também estimados os graus de dominância em relação a todas as características, com exceção da produção de grãos. O experimento foi instalado em telado, no Núcleo Experimental de Campinas, empregando cruzamentos entre a cultivar IAC-227 (P1), de porte alto, e quatro linhagens mexicanas, de porte baixo: CMH 78.390/ CMH 77A. 917// CMH 79.215 (P2), CMH 79.959/2* CNO 79 (P3), CMH 79.481/ CMH 77A. 917 (P4) e CMH 80A. 747 (P5). Os valores da herdabilidade em sentido restrito, referente a altura da planta (0,608-0,861), comprimento da espiga (0,406-0,667), comprimento do internódio da raque (0,545-0,781) e produção de grãos (0,421-0,550) indicaram que grande parte da variabilidade genética verificada nas populações híbridas quanto a essas características foi causada por genes com ação aditiva. As correlações fenotípicas entre altura da planta e produção de grãos e entre comprimento da espiga e comprimento do internódio da raque foram positivas e significativas em todos os cruzamentos considerados, o que mostra haver associação entre esses caracteres; portanto, os resultados obtidos sugerem que o estudo de grandes populações F2 seria de interesse para assegurar maior freqüência de recombinantes desejáveis, originando plantas semi-anãs com elevado potencial produtivo.

Two specialty cements are currently being marketed as a way to achieve portland cement concrete pavement opening strengths at less than 12 hours after placement. The cements are Pyrament from Pyrament/Lone Star Industries of Houston, Texas and Ideal Regulated-Set (RS) Portland Cement from Ideal Cement Company of Saratoga, Arkansas. The objective of the study was to evaluate the strength gain and durability of concrete produced with Pyrament and Ideal RS cement as Fast Track concrete. Mixes with 610 lb/cu yd (362 kg/cu m) cement were made and tested. Both Pyrament and Ideal RS are capable of producing pavement opening times less than 12 hours. Recent changes to Ideal RS cement have produced concrete flexural strengths of 550 psi (3792 kPa) at 4 hours in Iowa tests. Freeze/thaw durability of the concrete was not adversely affected by using either cement.

sublattices ferrimagnet Cu2OSeO3 with a cubic symmetry and a linear magnetoelectric effect. There is no spectroscopic evidence for structural lattice distortions below T-C=60 K, which are expected due to magnetoelectric coupling. Using symmetry arguments we explain this observation by considering a special type of ferrimagnetic ground state which does not generate a spontaneous electric polarization. Interestingly, Raman scattering shows a strong increase of electric polarization of media through a dynamic magnetoelectric effect as a remarkable enhancement of the scattering intensity below T-C. New lines of purely magnetic origin have been detected in the magnetically ordered state. A part of them are attributed as scattering on exchange magnons. Using this observation and further symmetry considerations we argue for strong Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction existing in the Cu2OSeO3. (c) 2010 American Institute of Physics.

Objective: To analyze the atmosphere inside incubators regarding alcoholic solvent such as isopropanol or ethanol which are commonly used in hand disinfecting solutions. Design: Observational. Setting: The third level neonatal unit of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, Lausanne, Switzerland. Patients: Nine neonates with median (range) gestational age of 29 4/7 (25 5/7-39 0/7) weeks and birth weight of 960 (550-3050) grams. All neonates were inside incubators. Interventions: Alcoholic vapors inside incubators were directly and cumulatively measured by photoionisation and gas chromatography respectively after absorption on a charcoal sampling tube. Results: Eleven studies (mean study time: 230 ± 19 minutes) were performed. Highly variable isopropanol/ethanol concentrations profiles were found inside incubators. Peak value for isopropanol was 1982 part per million and for ethanol was 906 part per million. Conclusions: Incubators' inner atmosphere can be highly polluted by alcohol vapors. To reduce them staff should respect long evaporation time between hands disinfection and manipulations inside incubators. The use of an ethanol-based disinfecting solution, because of its short evaporation time, could be favored. As alcohol vapor toxicity for neonate remains largely unknown, further studies could be welcome.

A utilização agrícola de resíduos industriais como fertilizantes decorre da necessidade de diminuir o efeito nocivo do acúmulo de nutrientes nos centros de produção. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos de escória de alto forno no crescimento radicular e na produtividade do arroz de terras altas irrigado por aspersão. O experimento foi realizado no campo, adotando-se o delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, com cinco doses de escória de alto forno (0, 2.550, 5.100, 10.200 e 15.300 kg ha-1) com quatro repetições. A utilização de escória melhorou a condição química do solo, aumentou o crescimento e a superfície radicular, diminuiu o diâmetro das raízes e elevou os teores de silício no solo e na planta, resultando em aumento da produtividade.

Proteins are composed of a combination of discrete, well-defined, sequence domains, associated with specific functions that have arisen at different times during evolutionary history. The emergence of novel domains is related to protein functional diversification and adaptation. But currently little is known about how novel domains arise and how they subsequently evolve. To gain insights into the impact of recently emerged domains in protein evolution we have identified all human young protein domains that have emerged in approximately the past 550 million years. We have classified them into vertebrate-specific and mammalian-specific groups, and compared them to older domains. We have found 426 different annotated young domains, totalling 995 domain occurrences, which represent about 12.3% of all human domains. We have observed that 61.3% of them arose in newly formed genes, while the remaining 38.7% are found combined with older domains, and have very likely emerged in the context of a previously existing protein. Young domains are preferentially located at the N-terminus of the protein, indicating that, at least in vertebrates, novel functional sequences often emerge there. Furthermore, young domains show significantly higher non-synonymous to synonymous substitution rates than older domains using human and mouse orthologous sequence comparisons. This is also true when we compare young and old domains located in the same protein, suggesting that recently arisen domains tend to evolve in a less constrained manner than older domains. We conclude that proteins tend to gain domains over time, becoming progressively longer. We show that many proteins are made of domains of different age, and that the fastest evolving parts correspond to the domains that have been acquired more recently.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do nitrogênio e do potássio, aplicados via água de irrigação por microaspersão, sobre as características de produção da bananeira, cv. Grand Naine. O delineamento utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram de 30, 180, 300, 420 e 570 kg ha-1 ano-1 de N e de 55, 330, 550, 770 e 1.045 kg ha-1 ano-1 de K2O, e testemunha, sem adubação, totalizando onze tratamentos, de acordo com o modelo da matriz experimental de Plan Puebla III. Foram avaliadas as características: massa média de fruto, massa média de cacho e produtividade, referentes ao primeiro e segundo ciclos de produção. No primeiro e segundo ciclos, a massa média de fruto, a massa média de cacho e a produtividade foram influenciadas apenas pelas doses de potássio. Os maiores valores de massa média de fruto (253,47 g), massa média de cacho (28 kg) e produtividade (55,42 t ha-1), no primeiro ciclo, foram obtidos com a aplicação de 938,31, 665,38 e 665,27 kg ha-1 de K2O, respectivamente. No segundo ciclo, os maiores valores em relação à massa média de fruto (174, 22 g), massa média de cacho (32,04 kg) e produtividade (60,08 t ha-1) foram alcançados com a aplicação de 725,50, 907,50 e 933,33 kg ha-1 de K2O, respectivamente. Não houve resposta das características avaliadas ao nitrogênio.
