Introdução A mastocitose abrange um grupo heterogêneo de condições crônicas caracterizado pela proliferação excessiva de mastócitos nos tecidos. Os sinais e sintomas clínicos são decorrentes da distribuição anatômica dos mastócitos e do efeito funcional dos mediadores produzidos e liberados por estas células. Na infância, a doença é considerada uma condição benigna na maioria dos casos, cujo comprometimento característico é o cutâneo. As mais freqüentes manifestações na pele são os mastocitomas e a urticária pigmentosa. Lesões cutâneas bolhosas podem manifestar-se e acompanhar todas as formas de mastocitose e quando esta apresentação é a predominante, é denominada de mastocitose bolhosa. O diagnóstico de mastocitose é suspeitado clinicamente e confirmado pela histologia. A demonstração do aumento do número de mastócitos nas lesões cutâneas características se constitui no principal critério diagnóstico. Contudo, este método tem dificuldades técnicas que impedem a adequada reprodutibilidade dos achados, dificultando a elucidação de casos duvidosos e retardando seu tratamento. Considerando as propriedades imunológicas e a importância clínica dos mastócitos reveste-se de maior importância compreender o papel destas células nas doenças, sendo indispensável identificá-las e enumerá-las com acurácia nos tecidos. Objetivos Quantificar o número de mastócitos marcados com anticorpo monoclonal antitriptase, através de técnica imuno-histoquímica e análise de imagem, em biópsias cutâneas de crianças, com diagnóstico clínico de mastocitose. Descrever os achados histológicos; quantificar o número de mastócitos marcados com o anticorpo antitriptase entre as diferentes expressões clínicas da mastocitose cutânea; comparar o número de mastócitos entre os casos de mastocitose cutânea e mastocitose associada à sintomas sistêmicos e correlacionar as contagens de mastócitos entre os dois diferentes métodos (coloração por Giemsa com contagem manual e marcação com anticorpo antitriptase e análise digital). Material e Método Foram incluídas no estudo biópsias cutâneas de crianças de 0 a 14 anos, com diagnóstico clínico e histológico de mastocitose. Os casos foram classificados de acordo com a apresentação clínica cutânea em mastocitoma, urticária pigmentosa ou mastocitose bolhosa e assinalada a presença de sintomas sistêmicos associados. Os fragmentos de pele fixados em formalina e emblocados em parafina foram cortados e utilizados para diagnóstico histopatológico convencional, corados com hematoxilina-eosina e Giemsa, e para análise imuno-histoquímica com estreptavidina peroxidase marcados com anticorpo antitriptase. A densidade de mastócitos (número de células por área) foi realizada por um único observador na técnica histológica e através de um sistema de análise de imagem de vídeo no método imuno-histoquímico. Resultados Foram avaliados 33 casos de mastocitose, sendo 21 do sexo masculino. Dez casos (30,3%) apresentavam mastocitoma, 21 (63,6%) urticária pigmentosa e 2 (6,1%) mastocitose bolhosa. Todos os casos da amostra foram classificados como tendo mastocitose incipiente e em 6 (18,8%) pacientes pôde ser identificada a associação com sintomas sistêmicos. Prurido foi o sintoma mais freqüente, sendo relatado em 21 casos. Em 21 dos 33 casos foi identificada a infiltração de mastócitos na derme havendo predominância pela região perivascular (p=0,001, teste exato de Fisher). Não houve diferenças significativas entre a presença de infiltrado mastocitário e as várias formas cutâneas de mastocitose ou a mastocitose sistêmica. A presença de eosinófilos foi identificada em 15 casos (45,5%) e em 10 casos associadamente ao infiltrado perivascular de mastócitos. A densidade de mastócitos na técnica histológica, incluindo-se todos os casos, foi 50,00 células/mm2. Não houve diferença significativa das contagens entre os pacientes com mastocitoma e aqueles com urticária pigmentosa, assim como entre os pacientes com e sem sintomas sistêmicos associados aos cutâneos. A densidade de mastócitos encontrada com a técnica imuno-histoquímica e contagem por análise de imagem foi 158,85 células/mm2. Não houve diferença significativa das contagens entre os pacientes com mastocitoma e aqueles com urticária pigmentosa, assim como entre aqueles com e sem sintomas sistêmicos. Comparando-se a contagem dos mastócitos por área (densidade) entre a histologia e a imuno-histoquímica houve uma diferença significativa (p=0,0001 teste não-paramétrico de Wilcoxon). A média da diferença entre as contagens foi 199,98 células/mm2 (±365,31 DP). Também não houve semelhança, entre os dois métodos, nos grupos mastocitoma e urticária pigmentosa (p=0,005 e p=0,01, respectivamente, teste não-paramétrico de Wilcoxon). Puderam ser identificados 518% a mais de mastócitos com a técnica imunohistoquímica quando comparada com a histológica. Conclusões O presente estudo permite concluir que: 1) a localização preferencial da infiltração de mastócitos é dérmica e perivascular, não sendo possível identificar diferenças histológicas entre casos de urticária pigmentosa e mastocitoma; 2) o número de mastócitos marcados com o anticorpo monoclonal antitriptase e contados com análise digital de imagem, em biópsia de pele de crianças com diagnóstico clínico de mastocitose, foi 159 células por milímetro quadrado; 3) a densidade de mastócitos, foi semelhante entre os casos de urticária pigmentosa e mastocitoma e entre os casos com e sem sintomas sistêmicos associados nas duas diferentes técnicas empregadas; 4) o número de mastócitos por milímetro quadrado com a técnica imuno-histoquímica e a contagem através de análise de imagem foi significativamente maior quando comparada com a coloração através de Giemsa e a contagem manual, com uma diferença média entre os dois métodos de 200 células por milímetro quadrado; 5) a densidade de mastócitos com a técnica imunohistoquímica foi significativamente maior tanto nos casos com urticária pigmentosa quanto nos com mastocitoma, quando comparada com a técnica empregada rotineiramente e 6) com a técnica imuno-histoquímica e a contagem através de análise de imagem foi possível identificar 518% a mais de mastócitos quando comparada com a técnica histológica.

While in the social and in the ethical realms the Cardoso administration was successful, its economic outcomes were frustrating. In this administration’s eight years the investment rate did not increase and income per capita growth lagged, while the public debt and the foreign debt increased substantially. This poor economic performance may be explained by three chained causes: a mistake in agenda setting, the adoption of the Second Washington Consensus, and the alienation of elites. The decision of setting high inflation as the major problem to be tackled instead of achieving equilibrium in foreign accounts represented a major macroeconomic mistake, which can be explained by the Second Washington Consensus. This consensus proposed in the 1990s that highly indebted countries should grow counting on foreign savings, although this is not the experience among OECD countries. The outcome was to evaluate the real, to increase artificially wages and consumption, so that instead of growth what we have been increased indebtedness. Why this flopped strategy was adopted? Rich countries’ interests are not difficult to guess. On the part of Brazil, the only explanation is Brazilian elites’ alienation in relation to the country’s national interest. As a final outcome, the Cardoso administration ends with another balance of payments crisis, which was empowered by the coming presidential elections. Yet, the solvency situation of the Brazilian economy have been improving since the 1999 successful floatation of the real, so that I believe that, adopted a policy that deepens fiscal adjustment, while lowers the interest rate, and avoids new evaluation of the real, the country will eventually be able to avoid default.

Neste trabalho estuda-se a formação de novas fases de carbono amorfo através da irradiação iônica de filmes de fulereno, a-C e a-C:H polimérico. Os efeitos da irradiação iônica na modificação das propriedades ópticas e mecânicas dos filmes de carbono irradiados são analisados de forma correlacionada com as alterações estruturais a nivel atômico. O estudo envolve tanto a análise dos danos induzidos no fulereno pela irradiação iônica a baixas fluências, correspondendo a baixas densidades de energia depositada, quanto a investigação das propriedades físico-químicas das fases amorfas obtidas após irradiações dos filmes de fulereno, a-C e a-C:H com altas densidades de energia depositada. As propriedades ópticas, mecânicas e estruturais das amostras são analisadas através de técnicas de espectroscopia Raman e infravermelho, espectrofotometria UV-VIS-NIR, microscopias ópticas e de força atômica, nanoindentação e técnicas de análise por feixe de íons, tais como retroespalhamento Rutherford e análises por reação nuclear. As irradiações produzem profundas modificações nas amostras de fulereno, a-C e a-C:H, e por conseqüência significativas alterações em suas propriedades ópticas e mecânicas. Após máximas fluências de irradiação fases amorfas rígidas (com dureza de 14 e 17 GPa) e com baixos gaps ópticos (0,2 e 0,5 eV) são formadas. Estas estruturas não usuais correspondem a arranjos atômicos com 90 a 100% de estados sp2. Em geral fases sp2 são planares e apresentam baixa dureza, como predito pelo modelo de “cluster”. Entretanto, os resultados experimentais mostram que as propriedades elásticas das novas fases formadas são alcançadas através da criação de uma estrutura sp2 tridimensional. A indução de altas distorções angulares, através da irradiação iônica, possibilita a formação de anéis de carbono não hexagonais, tais como pentágonos e heptágonos, permitindo assim a curvatura da estrutura. Utilizando um modelo de contagem de vínculos é feita uma análise comparativa entre a topologia (estrutura geométrica) de ligações C-sp2 e as propriedades nanomecânicas. São comparados os efeitos de estruturas sp2 planares e tridimensionais (aleatórias) no processo de contagem de vínculos e, conseqüentemente, nas propriedades elásticas de cada sistema. Os resultados mostram que as boas propriedades mecânicas das novas fases de carbono formadas seguem as predições do modelo de vínculos para uma rede atômica sp2 tridimensional. A formação de uma fase amorfa dura e 100% sp2 representa uma importante conquista na procura de novas estruturas rígidas de carbono. A síntese da estrutura desordenada sp2 tridimensional e vinculada aqui apresentada é bastante incomum na literatura. O presente trabalho mostra que o processo de não-equilíbrio de deposição de energia durante a irradiação iônica permite a formação de distorções angulares nas ligações sp2-C, possibilitando a criação de estruturas grafíticas tridimensionais.

O presente trabalho pesquisa como o campo foi interpretado nos anos de 1920 pelos intelectuais fluminenses. Por meio da analise de três revistas – Illustração Fluminense (1921-1924), A Agricultura Fluminense: revista da Sociedade de Agricultura e Indústrias Ruraes (1926) e A Fazenda Fluminense (1929-1930) – busca-se compreender como o rural foi uma via alternativa para a modernização do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A revista foi um gênero de imprensa símbolo da modernidade que produzia novas sensibilidades e comportamentos em uma época de transformações. A economia fluminense encontrava-se em crise desde o final do século XIX fazendo com que o Estado passasse a ter um papel secundário na política nacional republicana. O projeto das revistas agrícolas analisadas desejavam reconstruir essa identidade fluminense ao propor um campo modernizado, com novas técnicas de cultivo, com políticas de diversificação agrícola, com investimentos na educação rural e com pequenas propriedades. O rural, tantas vezes ligado ao “atraso”, integrou as propostas modernistas fluminenses discutidas no início do século XX.

This work aims to develop a methodology for analysis of images using overlapping, which assists in identification of microstructural features in areas of titanium, which may be associated with its biological response. That way, surfaces of titanium heat treated for 08 (eight) different ways have been subjected to a test culture of cells. It was a relationship between the grain, texture and shape of grains of surface of titanium (attacked) trying to relate to the process of proliferation and adhesion. We used an open source software for cell counting adhered to the surface of titanium. The juxtaposition of images before and after cell culture was obtained with the aid of micro-hardness of impressions made on the surface of samples. From this image where there is overlap, it is possible to study a possible relationship between cell growth with microstructural characteristics of the surface of titanium. This methodology was efficient to describe a set of procedures that are useful in the analysis of surfaces of titanium subjected to a culture of cells

The dams are limnic ecosystems of great importance for its multiple uses, among them, water supply for the public and to culture of artisanal fish are most relevant. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the physical-chemical characteristics and the phytoplankton community in two chosen sites (Point 1 littoral zone of point source; Point 2 pelagic zone of non-point source) of the Minister João Alves dam, which is also known as Boqueirão de Parelhas/RN. This represents the spatial distribution of the phytoplankton species in order to understand any possible alterations of the water quality and the phytoplankton composition in relation to the water quality originating from the impact of the tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, culture. The study period also encompasses temporal variations exhibited in two seasons of an annual cycle, one during the dry season (Oct, Nov and Dec of 2008 and Jan of 2009), and the other rainy season (Mar, Apr, May and June of 2008) to extend the observation. The physicalchemical parameters, such as pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, concentration of dissolved oxygen were measured in situ and the values of the inorganic nutrients (nitrate, ammonium and orto-phosfato) and chlorophyll in the laboratory. The quali-quantitative analyses of the phytoplankton had been carried through sedimentation technique and the enumeration of the random of 400 cells, colonies and filaments counted using Sedgwick-Rafter counting chamber. The results of pH varied widely from the acidic to alkaline range with the minimum of 5.8 (± 0.8) and the maximum of 9.2 (± 0.7-0.8), at point 1 and 2. The dissolved oxygen content was higher in the rainy period than that in the dry period. The maximum electrical conductivity was of 1409 μScm-1 in point 1 and 431 minim of μScm-1, in point 2. There was a considerable alteration in the levels of inorganic nutrients such as nitrate-nitrogen, ammoniacal nitrogen and orthophosphate during the two cycles of study period. Phytoplankton assemblages presented a picture of alternate dominance among species Cyanobacteria, Bacillariophyceae and Chlorophyceae. The trophic state index diagnosed to the category of mesotrophic, which is based on the values of chlorophyll, total phosphorus and Secchi-disc measurements. The wind driven turbulence of the water column and the fresh inflow of water (flushing and dilution) during rainy season acted as constraint and did-not allow an exaggerated growth of the species of cyanobacteria. On the basis of the present we conclude that the culture of tilapias in cage-culture fails to produce pollution load that could compromise the quality of the water of the dam, probably be due to small dimension of the culture in relation to the size, volume of the water and the reservoir capacity support its own environment

The Cruzeta impoundment, situated in the city of Cruzeta, hinterland of the state of the Rio Grande do Norte state has significant importance to the municipality as it represents the only source of supplying water to the region. It was hypothesized that the regional consequence of the global warming and the warming of surface water could substantially contribute the significant growth of the aquatic macrophytes in the years 2008-2009. The growth of these vegetation believed to be improved the degree of water transparency and as a consequence of the improved growth of phytoplankton species and chlorophyll biomass. At the same time the aquatic macrophyte could interact and compete potentially for the dissolved inorganic nutrients resources and the phytoplankton community. This study presents a comparison of years 2004-2005 when it did not have the expressive presence of the aquatic macrophyte community or restricted to the littoral region. In contrast, the years 2008-2009 showed a significant growth of the aquatic macrophyte in the Cruzeta/RN impoundments. The present study is an attempt to elucidate the significant presence of the aquatic macrophyte, Eichhornia crassipes, Ceratophyllum submersum, Nymphea sp and Pistia sp, and its interference on the ecology of phytoplankton. The samplings had been carried out from September of 2008 to April of 2009 and consistently between 10:00 h and 12:00 h with the aid of Van Dorn bottle and the plankton net of mesh size 20 Qm. The collections were made in three depths ie., surface, mid-column and bottom. The Physical-Chemical parameters such as pH, temperature, electrical conductivity and dissolved oxygen had been analyzed in situ. The samples for analysis of nutrients and chlorophyll were kept under refrigeration for posterior analysis in the laboratory. Phytoplankton samples were preserved in Lugol-iodine and kept for sedimentation for quali-quantitative analysis of phytoplankton. Enumeration of cells, colonies and filaments was done with the aid of Sedgwick-Rafter counting chamber and expressed as numbers/ml. Chlorophyll a was analyzed as a functional component of phytoplankton biomass and extracted with cold 90% acetone. The results indicate that the chlorophyll concentration varied between 5,65-8,08 Qg.L-1 for the dry period and 5,09-6,23 Qg.L-1 for the rainy period and showed considerable reduction when compared to the values to the 2004-2005 study period. The temperature was always presented higher in relation to the 2004-2005 study. Phytoplankton species showed a relative abundance of the Cyanophyceae for both the period of dry and rainy. The predominance species are filamentous Leptolymbya geophila Borzi (Planctolyngbya sp), Anabaena plankctônica Brunnthaler, Oscillatória limosa Ag. and Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Wolosz). The concentration of the nutrients such as nitrate and orto-phosfato had always presented higher values during the rainy period and the ammoniacal nitrogen retained moderate values in the dry period and a slight increase in rainy season. The main conclusions are the reduction of the concentration of chlorophyll, diversity of phytoplankton, and the increase in temperature and transparency of the water during the period of the study

Although it has been suggested that retinal vasculature is a diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) fractal, no study has been dedicated to standardizing its fractal analysis . The aims of this project was to standardize a method to estimate the fractal dimensions of retinal vasculature and to characterize their normal values; to determine if this estimation is dependent on skeletization and on segmentation and calculation methods; to assess the suitability of the DLA model and to determine the usefulness of log-log graphs in characterizing vasculature fractality . To achieve these aims, the information, mass-radius and box counting dimensions of 20 eyes vasculatures were compared when the vessels were manually or computationally segmented; the fractal dimensions of the vasculatures of 60 eyes of healthy volunteers were compared with those of 40 DLA models and the log-log graphs obtained were compared with those of known fractals and those of non-fractals. The main results were: the fractal dimensions of vascular trees were dependent on segmentation methods and dimension calculation methods, but there was no difference between manual segmentation and scale-space, multithreshold and wavelet computational methods; the means of the information and box dimensions for arteriolar trees were 1.29. against 1.34 and 1.35 for the venular trees; the dimension for the DLA models were higher than that for vessels; the log-log graphs were straight, but with varying local slopes, both for vascular trees and for fractals and non-fractals. This results leads to the following conclusions: the estimation of the fractal dimensions for retinal vasculature is dependent on its skeletization and on the segmentation and calculation methods; log-log graphs are not suitable as a fractality test; the means of the information and box counting dimensions for the normal eyes were 1.47 and 1.43, respectively, and the DLA model with optic disc seeding is not sufficient for retinal vascularization modeling

The bubble crab Dotilla fenestrata forms very dense populations on the sand flats of the eastern coast of Inhaca Island, Mozambique, making it an interesting biological model to examine spatial distribution patterns and test the relative efficiency of common sampling methods. Due to its apparent ecological importance within the sandy intertidal community, understanding the factors ruling the dynamics of Dotilla populations is also a key issue. In this study, different techniques of estimating crab density are described, and the trends of spatial distribution of the different population categories are shown. The studied populations are arranged in discrete patches located at the well-drained crests of nearly parallel mega sand ripples. For a given sample size, there was an obvious gain in precision by using a stratified random sampling technique, considering discrete patches as strata, compared to the simple random design. Density average and variance differed considerably among patches since juveniles and ovigerous females were found clumped, with higher densities at the lower and upper shore levels, respectively. Burrow counting was found to be an adequate method for large-scale sampling, although consistently underestimating actual crab density by nearly half. Regression analyses suggested that crabs smaller than 2.9 mm carapace width tend to be undetected in visual burrow counts. A visual survey of sampling plots over several patches of a large Dotilla population showed that crab density varied in an interesting oscillating pattern, apparently following the topography of the sand flat. Patches extending to the lower shore contained higher densities than those mostly covering the higher shore. Within-patch density variability also pointed to the same trend, but the density increment towards the lowest shore level varied greatly among the patches compared.

This laboratory study involves the participation of a group with professionals from different areas that had contributed to the construction of a multidisciplinary knowledge, about biological response of titanium surfaces modified through thermochemical treatment by plasma. Thus, the crystalline phase was previously characterized in relation to the topography, roughness, molhability and nitrogen concentration in the samples surface. It s indispensable that materials implanted can influence in a good cellular response as well as promotes a bacteria action. Surfaces modified by plasma were exposed to different cultures such as: cellular (human osteoblastic) and bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC35984 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853) in order to evaluate the biological response. It was evaluated the adhesion, proliferation, morphology and cellular preference of human ostheoblastic cells (HOST), as well as the formation of a biofilm and bacteria proliferation. It was still analyzed the bacteria selectivity ability in relation to the surfaces. The software Image Pro Plus was used to the counting of cells and bacteria adhered to the surface of disks. The results were submitted to the variance analysis (ANOVA), and then, by the Kruskal-Wallis test, using GraphPad Instat ® software, version 3.5 to Windows. The nitrided samples in spite of show a higher roughness and molhability showed a smaller bacteria growing and higher cellular proliferation, when compared to non treated samples, indicating that the treated material present a high efficiency to biomedical implants

Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi is used in the treatment of skin and mucosal injuries, infections of respiratory, digestive and genitourinary systems. Currently one of the biggest problems faced for the industry of phytopharmaceuticals with regard to the quality of raw materials is the microbial contamination. The aim this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial action of the hidroalcoholic extract of aroeira, beyond testing the effectiveness of the preservative system in hidrogel to the base of this extract. The extracts were prepared by maceration in the ratio of 1:10 of solvent plant/with alcohol 40%. The methods for microbial count were pour plate and test for specific microorganisms, analyzing in third copy each one of the samples. The antimicrobial activity of aroeira extracts was performed using an agar diffusion method, using strains of S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, B. subtilis, C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. krusei, C. guilliermondii, T. rubrum, M. gypseum, A. flavus and A. niger. The formula with aroeira was evaluated by the challenge test. This method consisted of artificial contamination the sample with separate inóculos of A. niger, C. albicans, E. coli e S. aureus aeruginosa and determinations of survivors for the method of counting for pour plate , during times 0, 24h, 48h, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days. How much to the results, one verified that the extract of aroeira in the 13,5 concentration mg/mL presented antimicrobial activity for cepas of E. coli, B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa e S. aureus, producing inhibition zone, on average with 13 mm of diameter. However it did not present no fungi activity. The formula with aroeira containig both methylparaben and propylparaben showed a good efficacy in challenge test front to strains of A. niger, C. albicans, E. coli, S. aureus. The A criteria of European Pharmacopoeia, adopted in this work, was verified that this product revealed the good preservative efficacy for the challenge test, time interval of the 28 days. However, it is interesting to extend this study, in order to carry through the sped up stability and the test of shelf, to establish the validity of this formularization
