Análise da susceptibilidade de leveduras isoladas de insetos sociais aos antifúngicos

A frequência de micoses invasivas causadas por fungos oportunistas, incluindo leveduriformes, vem aumentando significativamente nas últimas décadas e atinge principalmente indivíduos imunocomprometidos. A tribo Attini possui cerca de 230 espécies de formigas e todas possuem o hábito de cultivar e se alimentar de fungos. Algumas espécies cultivam o fungo mutualista em nódulos poligonais sólidos com 0,25 a 0,50mm de diâmetro, aproximadamente. No interior desses nódulos, encontram-se células na forma de leveduras, que quando semeadas em meio de cultura se desenvolvem como fungo filamentoso. Este tipo de fungicultura está restrito a algumas espécies do gênero Cyphomyrmex. Neste trabalho, isolamos 30 leveduras dos nódulos de oito ninhos de Cyphomyrmex transversus da região de Ilhéus (BA), e analisamos a susceptibilidade aos seguintes antifúngicos: Anfotericina B (AMB), Fluconazol (FCZ), Voriconazol (VCZ) e Itraconazol (ITZ). A caracterização das estirpes foi feita através de métodos morfológicos e moleculares, incluindo-se o sequenciamento dos domínios D1/D2 do rDNA. A avaliação da atividade antifúngica foi realizada através do método de microdiluição, de acordo com a norma M27-A2 (CLSI, 2002). Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019 e Candida krusei ATCC 6258 foram utilizadas como controle. Os resultados foram interpretados segundo os pontos de corte (breakpoints) aplicados ao gênero Candida. As estirpes foram identificadas como Trichosporon asahii (18), T. coremiiforme (4), Candida carpophila (syn. C. guilliermondii) (4), Galactomyces candidum (syn. Geotrichum candidum) (3) e Cryptococcus laurentii (1). Todas as espécies são conhecidas por possuírem representantes que já foram relatados como patógenos oportunistas. Elas foram sensíveis aos azóis FCZ, VCZ e ITZ, com exceção de G. candidus, cujas estirpes apresentaram sensibilidade dose-dependente a FCZ e ITZ... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Estudo de efeito do cozimento nos compostos bioativos presentes no espinafre e na chicória

A necessidade de fazer com que haja um aumento no consumo de hortaliças se faz crescente no mundo inteiro, isso porque esta é uma fonte rica em micronutrientes e macronutrientes, além de não agregar muito valor calórico na dieta e ser um alimento acessível para todas as classes econômicas. Entretanto, no Brasil, é verificado que a porcentagem da população que consome diariamente o recomendado de hortaliças e frutas ainda não atingiu o ideal para que se possa obter os benefícios trazidos do consumo, como a prevenção de algumas doenças não transmissíveis, através da dieta. Por isso, a necessidade de se estudar maneiras diferentes de cozimento das hortaliças, para que se torne possível preparar os vegetais de maneiras diferentes e torná-los mais atrativos, garantindo a melhor forma de fazê-los, para que se escolha o tratamento que melhor conserva o conteúdo de compostos bioativos. Para esse estudo foram considerados dois vegetais de grande importância, o espinafre (SpinaciaoleraceaL.) e a chicória (ChicoriumintybusL.), que foram submetidos a quatro tratamentos de cozimentos dististintos, a 100°C, no vapor, no microondas e no óleo, para cada tratamento foi avaliado parâmetros de cor, análise de sólidos solúveis totais, acidez titulável, determinação de ácido ascórbico, determinação de fenólicos e flavonoides totais, avaliação da atividade sequestrante de radicais livres (DPPH e ABTS) e carotenoides. Os resultados obtidos foram bastante diversificados, ou seja, para cada teste desenvolvido houve uma retenção maior do composto bioativo estudado em determinado cozimento preparado, entretanto o tratamento realizado a 100°C foi o tratamento que obteve menor retenção dos compostos bioativos entre os testes realizados.

Comparação entre o Disease Activity Score-28 e o Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score na artrite idiopática juvenil

Introduction: the assessment of the activity of rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis is made by means of different tools, respectively DAS-28 and JADAS.Objective: To compare DAS-28 and JADAS with scores of 71, 27 and 10 joint counts in juvenile idiopathic arthritis.Method: A secondary analysis of a phase III placebo-controlled trial, testing safety and efficacy of abatacept was conducted in 8 patients with 178 assessment visits. Joint count scores for active and limited joints, physician's and parents'global assessment by 0-10 cm Visual Analog Scale, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate normalized to 0-10 scale, in all visits. The comparison among the activity indices in different observations was made through Anova or adjusted gamma model. The paired observations between DAS-28 and JADAS 71, 27 and 10, respectively, were analyzed by linear regression.Results: There were significant differences among individual measures, except for ESR, in the first four months of biological treatment, when five of the eight patients reached ACR-Pedi 30, with improvement. The indices of DAS-28, JADAS 71, 27 and 10 also showed significant difference during follow-up. Linear regression adjusted model between DAS-28 and JADAS resulted in mathematical formulas for conversion: [DAS-28 = 0.0709 (JADAS 71) + 1.267] (R-2 = 0.49); [DAS-28 = 0.084 (JADAS 27) + 1.7404] (R-2 = 0.47) and [DAS-28 = 0.1129 (JADAS-10) + 1.5748] (R-2 = 0.50).Conclusion: The conversion of scores of DAS-28 and JADAS 71, 27 and 10 for this mathematical model would allow equivalent application of both in adolescents with arthritis.
