Introducción: Los factores de riesgo de la enfermedad cardiovascular (FRECV) pueden estar presentes desde la infancia y predicen la enfermedad cardiovascular del adulto. Objetivo: Evaluar la prevalencia de FRECV en niños de 3 a 17 años hijos de Enfermeras de la Fundación CardioInfantil - Instituto de cardiología (FCI). Métodos: Estudio de corte transversal analítico. Resultados: 118 niños, edad promedio 7,4 años, desviación estándar 3,86, la mayoría eutróficos 72,0%. Presentaron FRECV como malos hábitos alimenticios 89,0%, sedentarismo 78,8%, exposición a tabaco 19,5%, historia familiar de riesgo cardiovascular 16,1%, sobrepeso 15,3% y obesidad 12,7%. No se encontraron diferencias entre factores de riesgo entre niños y niñas.El sedentarismo en niños con sobrepeso u obesidad fue del 90,9% y en niños eutróficos del 36,5%. Los malos hábitos alimentarios en niños con sobrepeso u obesidad fueron 84,8% y en niños eutróficos 42,4%. Los adolescentes presentaron una mayor exposición a tabaco en comparación con los preescolares y escolares, al igual que una mayor proporción de malos hábitos alimenticios en comparación con ambos grupos. De la totalidad de la población de estudio, el 97,5% presentó al menos un FRECV, y el 42,4% 3 o más FRECV. La presencia de ≥3 FRECV fue mayor en obesos al compararlos con los niños en sobrepeso y eutróficos. Conclusiones: Los resultados del estudio indican que los niños de 3 a 17 años evaluados presentan una alta carga de FRECV, en especial en aquellos con sobrepeso y obesidad.

The strong intermolecular interactions mediated by short hydrophobic sequences (e.g., 17-20, -L-Leu-L-Val-L-Phe-L-Phe-) in the middle of A beta are known to play a crucial role in the neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease. FTIR, TEM and Congo red binding studies indicated that a series of L-Ala substituted terminally protected peptides related to the sequence 17-20 of the beta-amyloid peptide, adopted D-sheet conformations. However, the Aib-modified analogues disrupt the D-sheet structure and switch over to a 310 helix with increasing number of Aib residues. X-ray crystallography shed some light on the change from sheet to helix at atomic resolution. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Introduction: Nerve allografting is regarded as a treatment of choice in large neural tissue losses preventing repair by primary anastomosis. In these cases, a synthetic polyglycolic acid tube is an alternative for nerve grafting. On the other hand, several studies have emphasized the importance of neurotrophic factors on neural regeneration, including substances with potential to optimize neural regeneration, especially the GM1, an neurotrophic enhancer factor. Objective: to compare, in rats, the neural regeneration degree using histological analysis, regenerated myelinized axons count, and functional analysis with the use of neurotube and GM1. Methods: This assessment was performed by interposing allograft (group A), polyglycolic acid tube (group B) and polyglycolic acid tube associated to GM1 (group C) on 5-mm sciatic nerve defects. Results: Neuroma formation was found only on group A. Groups A and C showed similar histological patterns, except for the regenerated axons on group C, which were shown to be better organized and myelinized than in group A. Conclusion: on functional recovery, no statistically significant difference was found for the three groups, despite of qualitative and quantitative histological differences found.

To compare the effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) and of AG on the healing of intestine wounds. Methods: The semi-purified extract of the eggs of the mollusc was obtained by fractionation with ammonium sulfate and purification for ion-exchange chromatography. The obtained galactans were eluted in water (neutral galactan) and in 0.1 and 0.2M NaCl (acidic galactans). The in vivo study was performed with 45 “Wistar” rats, separated in three groups (n=15). Solutions containing HA 1%, GA 1% or saline solution 0,9%, was placed topically on the sutures of wounds in the small intestine of the rats. After 05, 10 and 21 days the animals were sacrificed and biopsy of the healing tissue was done. Results: The hystologic grading was more significant for HA and AG groups when compared to the group C. AG stimulated the appearance of macrophages, giant cells and increase in the concentration of collagen in the area of the wound when compared to HA. Conclusion: The topical use of GA in intestinal wounds promoted the anticipation of events that are important in the wound healing

3,4,4'-trichlorocarbanilide (TCC) was rested as a new method of bacterial growth control for S. cerevisiae alcoholic fermentations of diluted high test molasses (HTM). Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was tested to determine the necessary concentration of TCC to control bacterial growth. The fed-batch alcoholic fermentation process was used with cell recycle similar to industrial conditions and Lactobacillus fermentum CCT 1407 was mixed in the first inoculum to grow with the yeast. Yeast extract was added into the must to stimulate bacterial growth. The best results of TCC's MIC to bacterial growth of Lactobacillus fermentum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (< 0.125-1.0 mu g/ml) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (16 mu g/ml) occurred when it was combined with sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS) in a 1: 4 TCC/SDS ratio (wt/wt) in distilled water solution. 1.8 g/l TCC entrapped in calcium alginate added to the must with yeast extract inhibited the growth of Lactobacillus fermentum CCT 1407 maintaining a controlled acidity, higher yeast viability and up to 20.8% of improvement in the average of alcoholic efficiency. Addition of 0.075 g/l TCC entrapped in calcium alginate and 1.67 mg/l SDS in the wort with yeast extract (0-5.0 g/l), inhibited and controlled the extensive bacterial contamination for 19 cycles of fermentation.

Phytochemical investigations of the stems of a specimen of Alibertia macrophylla led to the isolation and characterization of the new diterpene ent-kaurane-2β,3α,16α-triol (1), along with triterpenes 2-8, iridoids 9-12, and phenolic acids 13-15. The structure of 1 was established based on spectroscopic studies (1H- and 13C-NMR, IR, and HR-ESI-MS). This is the first report of the isolation of a diterpene from the Alibertia genus in Rubiaceae. © 2007 Verlag Helvetica Chimica Acta AG.

Sportliche Aktivitäten sind in vielfältiger Art und Weise in sozial strukturierte Handlungssituationen eingebettet und institutionalisiert. Dabei sind soziale Strukturen des Sports in Form von Regeln, Normen, Werten und Rollen für das sportliche Handeln von wichtiger Bedeutung. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellen sich folgende Fragen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven: Wie erwerben Menschen im Sport soziale Handlungsfähigkeit und Rollensicherheit, die sozial konformes und gleichzeitig eigenständiges Handeln ermöglichen? Inwieweit lassen sich die im Sport erworbenen sozialen Kompetenzen, Handlungsorientierungen und Werte auch auf andere Bereiche übertragen? Von welchen sozialen Faktoren ist der Zugang zu gruppenbezogenen Sportaktivitäten abhängig? Der vorliegende Tagungsband enthält alle Abstracts zu den Hauptvorträgen sowie den Vorträgen aus den Arbeitskreisen der Jahrestagung der dvs-Sektion Sportsoziologie in Kooperation mit der Sektion Sportpädagogik, die vom 17.-19. September 2008 in Chemnitz stattfand. Der Band gibt damit einen umfassenden Überblick zur aktuellen Diskussion der sportbezogenen Sozialisationsforschung.
