Etiopatogênia da artrite-encefalite caprina e estratégias para seu controle

The arthritis-encephalitis caprine vírus is found at mostly areas of the world, especially at the countries that milk goats is strongly tecnific, and already was found in many brasilian states. The illness causes greats econimics prejudice, influencing badly the productive life time of the flock, related with the low production, decrease of the reproductive performance and lost of the genetic potential, determining constants flock’s renew. Many authors calls the atention for the probable dissemination of the illness and reinforce the necessity of the adoption strong sanitary politics for the illnes control. The controls programs, basically, based on knowledeg of the target-cells, that keep and distribute the virus on the guests organisms; on the transmition way; on sensibility and specificity of the sorologics tests, as well as your frequency of realitation in the flock; and after all on the management that the flock is submeted

Análise da expressão gênica de pequenos RNAs derivados de tRNAs (tRFs) em plantas

Small non coding RNAs emerged as important characters in several biology aspects. Among then, the most studied are microRNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), that regulate their target gene post-transcriptionally in plants, animals and RNAi pathway intermediates, respectively. Both of classes have similar biogenesis being processed by Dicer enzymes and subsequent association with Argonaute enzymes. In plants, miRNAs and siRNAs have important functions in development, genome integrity and biotic and abiotic stress responses. The advances in high-throughtput sequencing and in silico analisys provide the uncover of new small non coding RNAs classes, many of them with unknown functions and biogenesis. tRNA derived small RNAs (tRFs) are a small non coding RNA class, that have as precursor a tRNA molecule. These were uncovers in the last decade in many organisms and, recently, in plants. Recent works detected tRFs from different sizes, with different source portions of the mature tRNA molecule (5’ end; 3’ end, anti-codon loop) and some from the tRNA precursor (pre-tRNA), suggesting that may be a novel class of small RNA and not random degradation products. Works in humans showed that some tRFs are processed by the Dicer enzymes, have association with the Argonaute enzymes and cell differentiation, tumor appearance and gene silencing related functions. Works in Arabidopsis and pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) showed, respectively, that the tRFs have nutritional stress response possible functions and long distance signaling function between source and drain tissues, and may affect the translation. The tRFs biogenesis in plants are, until now an unknown, absence information about it in the literature and its possible biological functions are few studied yet, making then interesting target for studies among the small non coding RNAs in plants

Propriedade antioxidante de compostos fenólicos: importância na dieta e na conservação de alimentos

Living organisms are constantly subjected to the action of free radicals, which are one of the causes of oxidation reactions, because they have on free electron, what makes it very reactive. They are products of organism reactions or they are produced by exogenous factors, such as tobacco. Fatty acids are the most vulnerable target, and may suffer lipid peroxidation, what affects the cell structure. Cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diseases of aging are occurrence of these reactions in the organism related. The aliments are also subjected to suffer oxidation reactions, what make them unfit for consumption and decreasing the useful life. Synthetics antioxidants are used as aliments preservatives, but they present some toxicity for the organism. Studies for the utilization of natural antioxidants have gained more importance in recent decades, due to the conservation potential and low toxicity. Phenolics compounds are largely present at the vegetable kingdom and they present high antioxidant potential due to the neutralization and kidnapping of free radicals capacity. These compounds are used by the industry at the aliments conservation, specially the phenolics acids. The consumption of aliments rich in phenolic compounds, such as teas, wines and fruits are low incidence of degenerative diseases related. This study consists in a bibliographic revision that covers these compounds importance in diet and at the food conservation, and the methodologies and difficulties in the extraction process due to variety of molecules of this group.
