Nutrição mineral de hortaliças LXXV. doses de cálcio afetando o crescimento e concentração de macro e micronutrientes de salsao (Apium graveolens L. var. dulce) nos cultivares golden detroit e cornell 6-19

O salsão (Apium graveolens L. var. Dulce) é uma hortaliça pouco cultivada no Brasil, encontra-se atualmente em franca expansão devido o aumento da demanda pelas indústrias de sopas desidratadas. Como nos países que tradicionalmente cultivam o salsão apresentam sérios problemas nutricionais, foi proposto neste trabalho os seguintes objetivos. Aquilatar o efeito de doses crescentes de cálcio no seu desenvolvimento; Descrever os sintomas de deficiência e excesso de cálcio; Verificar diferenças de resistências a anomalia do blackheart entre os cultiva res Cornell 6-19 e Golden Detroit. Para atender estes objetivos foi realizado um ensaio em condições controladas, cultivando-se o salsão em solução nutritiva em presença dos níveis de cálcio - 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 e 300 ppm de Ca. Os autores concluíram que: É possível caracterizar com nitidez a deficiência de cálcio em ambas as cultivares; A cultivar Golden Detroit apresenta maior resistência ao aparecimento dos sintomas de deficiência de cálcio do que a cultivar Cornell 6-19. Os sintomas de deficiência de cálcio nas folhas novas de ambas as cultivares manifestam-se com a concentração de cálcio em solução nutritiva igual ou inferior a 150 ppm; O aumento da concentração de cálcio na solução nutritiva favorece o crescimento das plantas e há maior acúmulo de matéria-seca nas doses mais elevadas. O aumento de concentração de cálcio na solução nutritiva induz a uma diminuição de manganês em parte aérea das plantas.

Alzinar amb marfull o pineda?: estudi comparatiu de 6 zones geobotàniques del parc del Castell de l'Oreneta

S’ha estudiat la vegetació actual del parc de l'Oreneta, l’únic de Barcelona en el qual es conserva en part la vegetació natural que hi havia abans de la seva destinació com a parc. L’objectiu és veure com l'impacte antròpic ha modificat la que segurament era la vegetació natural de la zona - un alzinar amb marfull empobrit- per una pineda de pi blanc. A més, s’analitza les diferents adaptacions de la vegetació del parc als factors del biòtop, i molt en particular del marfull i l'aladern. S’ha començat estudiant els factors ambientals propis del parc. Posteriorment, s’ha dividit el biòtop del parc de l'Oreneta en sis zones de vegetació amb característiques específiques estudiant-ne les espècies existents, els índexs de diversitat de cada zona, l'abundància de les espècies, etc.

Es presenta un resum dels resultats dels assaigs d’avaluació de varietats de blat de moro de cicle 700 i 600, obtinguts en la zona litoral de Girona, en el marc de la Xarxa d’Experimentació de Varietats de l’IRTA. S’han assajat híbrids convencionals i transgènics derivats del MON810, que incorporen resistència als barrinadors. Amb els resultats de quatre anys d’assaig han destacat principalment les varietats HELEN, ELEONORA, TIETAR, PR32R42, ASTURIAL i PR33P66, sense diferències significatives entre elles. Les varietats transgèniques s’han assajat un màxim de tres anys havent mostrat algunes d’elles una alta productivitat. Entre aquestes han destacat PR32P76, DKC6575, PR33P67 i HELEN Bt, si bé sense diferències significatives amb el testimoni ELEONORA. També amb els resultats de tres anys d’assaig cal remarcar la varietat de blat de moro convencional PR32W86, que ha mostrat un nivell productiu similar a les millors transgèniques. Amb només dos anys d’assaig ha destacat principalment la varietat transgènica BELES SUR.

Pelvic floor dysfunction 6 years post-anal sphincter tear at the time of vaginal delivery.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: This study aims to estimate fecal, urinary incontinence, and sexual function 6 years after an obstetrical anal sphincter tear. METHODS: Among 13,213 women who had a vaginal delivery of a cephalic singleton at term, 196 women sustained an anal sphincter tear. They were matched to 588 controls. Validated questionnaires grading fecal and urinary incontinence, and sexual dysfunction were completed by the participants. RESULTS: Severe fecal incontinence was more frequently reported by women who had sustained an anal sphincter tear compared to the controls. Women with an anal sphincter tear had no increased risk of urinary incontinence, but reported significantly more pain, difficulty with vaginal lubrication, and difficulty achieving orgasm compared to the controls. A fetal occiput posterior position during childbirth was an independent risk factor for both severe urinary incontinence and severe sexual dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS: Fecal incontinence is strongly associated with an anal sphincter tear. A fetal occiput posterior position represents a risk factor for urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction.

Compartmentalized Cerebral Metabolism of [1,6-(13)C]Glucose Determined by in vivo (13)C NMR Spectroscopy at 14.1 T.

Cerebral metabolism is compartmentalized between neurons and glia. Although glial glycolysis is thought to largely sustain the energetic requirements of neurotransmission while oxidative metabolism takes place mainly in neurons, this hypothesis is matter of debate. The compartmentalization of cerebral metabolic fluxes can be determined by (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy upon infusion of (13)C-enriched compounds, especially glucose. Rats under light α-chloralose anesthesia were infused with [1,6-(13)C]glucose and (13)C enrichment in the brain metabolites was measured by (13)C NMR spectroscopy with high sensitivity and spectral resolution at 14.1 T. This allowed determining (13)C enrichment curves of amino acid carbons with high reproducibility and to reliably estimate cerebral metabolic fluxes (mean error of 8%). We further found that TCA cycle intermediates are not required for flux determination in mathematical models of brain metabolism. Neuronal tricarboxylic acid cycle rate (V(TCA)) and neurotransmission rate (V(NT)) were 0.45 ± 0.01 and 0.11 ± 0.01 μmol/g/min, respectively. Glial V(TCA) was found to be 38 ± 3% of total cerebral oxidative metabolism, accounting for more than half of neuronal oxidative metabolism. Furthermore, glial anaplerotic pyruvate carboxylation rate (V(PC)) was 0.069 ± 0.004 μmol/g/min, i.e., 25 ± 1% of the glial TCA cycle rate. These results support a role of glial cells as active partners of neurons during synaptic transmission beyond glycolytic metabolism.
