The sugar and ethanol industry has always stood out in the Brazilian economy. Contributing to the growth and development of the economy and the country the sector has gone through several phases. This paper makes a study of the industry and exposes the work of some authors on the subject in order to demonstrate the economic and social impacts caused by the installation of a sugar cane industry in a small city and its contribution to local development. Actual results are generally encouraging and reported that the sugarcane industry contributes to the development of cities where it is installed, benefiting them

Abstract Background Metastasis is the main factor responsible for death in breast cancer patients. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors, known as tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs), and the membrane-associated MMP inhibitor (RECK), are essential for the metastatic process. We have previously shown a positive correlation between MMPs and their inhibitors expression during breast cancer progression; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this coordinate regulation remain unknown. In this report, we investigated whether TGF-β1 could be a common regulator for MMPs, TIMPs and RECK in human breast cancer cell models. Methods The mRNA expression levels of TGF-β isoforms and their receptors were analyzed by qRT-PCR in a panel of five human breast cancer cell lines displaying different degrees of invasiveness and metastatic potential. The highly invasive MDA-MB-231 cell line was treated with different concentrations of recombinant TGF-β1 and also with pharmacological inhibitors of p38 MAPK and ERK1/2. The migratory and invasive potential of these treated cells were examined in vitro by transwell assays. Results In general, TGF-β2, TβRI and TβRII are over-expressed in more aggressive cells, except for TβRI, which was also highly expressed in ZR-75-1 cells. In addition, TGF-β1-treated MDA-MB-231 cells presented significantly increased mRNA expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP-14, TIMP-2 and RECK. TGF-β1 also increased TIMP-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein levels but downregulated RECK expression. Furthermore, we analyzed the involvement of p38 MAPK and ERK1/2, representing two well established Smad-independent pathways, in the proposed mechanism. Inhibition of p38MAPK blocked TGF-β1-increased mRNA expression of all MMPs and MMP inhibitors analyzed, and prevented TGF-β1 upregulation of TIMP-2 and MMP-2 proteins. Moreover, ERK1/2 inhibition increased RECK and prevented the TGF-β1 induction of pro-MMP-9 and TIMP-2 proteins. TGF-β1-enhanced migration and invasion capacities were blocked by p38MAPK, ERK1/2 and MMP inhibitors. Conclusion Altogether, our results support that TGF-β1 modulates the mRNA and protein levels of MMPs (MMP-2 and MMP-9) as much as their inhibitors (TIMP-2 and RECK). Therefore, this cytokine plays a crucial role in breast cancer progression by modulating key elements of ECM homeostasis control. Thus, although the complexity of this signaling network, TGF-β1 still remains a promising target for breast cancer treatment.

Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar as ações de enfermagem para estímulo ao desenvolvimento infantil, em periódicos nacionais e internacionais, no período de 2000 a 2009. Revisão integrativa da literatura, nas bases de dados Medline e Lilacs, com análise de quinze artigos. Os resultados apontam o lúdico como essencial ao desenvolvimento infantil, devendo ser explorado pela enfermagem por meio da arte, música, brinquedos e teatro. Amenizar o estresse da hospitalização com adequação ambiental reduz o seu impacto sobre o desenvolvimento infantil. Orientar e intervir nos inter-relacionamentos são ações de enfermagem para o desenvolvimento social e comportamental infantil. Os temas abordados na literatura são fundamentais para uma prática de enfermagem no cuidado integral à saúde da criança.

Tomando como referencia conceitos de Tönnies, neste artigo discutimos a relação entre comunidades étnicas e modernização no Brasil. Analisamos essa relação em dois momentos. No primeiro, consideramos alguns estudos de caso, de autores representativos dos “estudos de comunidade” realizados no Brasil durante o processo de modernização das décadas de 1940 a 1960. No segundo, tratamos especialmente das comunidades quilombolas a partir das políticas publicas implementadas pelo governo Lula. Neste contexto discutimos, a partir de pesquisas realizadas pelo autor na região norte do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, o papel de agentes modernos nas econstruções de comunidade de espírito e sugerimos o conceito de neocomunidades para representar a atual fase de transformação.
