Delayed Schwann cell and oligodendrocyte remyelination after ethidium bromide injection in the brainstem of Wistar rats submitted to streptozotocin diabetogenic treatment

Schwann cell disturbance followed by segmental demyelination in the peripheral nervous system occurs in diabetic patients. Since Schwann cell and oligodendrocyte remyelination in the central nervous system is a well-known event in the ethidium bromide (EB) demyelinating model, the aim of this investigation was to determine the behavior of both cell types after local EB injection into the brainstem of streptozotocin diabetic rats. Adult male Wistar rats received a single intravenous injection of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg) and were submitted 10 days later to a single injection of 10 µL 0.1% (w/v) EB or 0.9% saline solution into the cisterna pontis. Ten microliters of 0.1% EB was also injected into non-diabetic rats. The animals were anesthetized and perfused through the heart 7 to 31 days after EB or saline injection and brainstem sections were collected and processed for light and transmission electron microscopy. The final balance of myelin repair in diabetic and non-diabetic rats at 31 days was compared using a semi-quantitative method. Diabetic rats presented delayed macrophage activity and lesser remyelination compared to non-diabetic rats. Although oligodendrocytes were the major remyelinating cells in the brainstem, Schwann cells invaded EB-induced lesions, first appearing at 11 days in non-diabetic rats and by 15 days in diabetic rats. Results indicate that short-term streptozotocin-induced diabetes hindered both oligodendrocyte and Schwann cell remyelination (mean remyelination scores of 2.57 ± 0.77 for oligodendrocytes and 0.67 ± 0.5 for Schwann cells) compared to non-diabetic rats (3.27 ± 0.85 and 1.38 ± 0.81, respectively).

Effect of Ginkgo biloba on the reproductive outcome and oxidative stress biomarkers of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Ginkgo biloba treatment (EGb 761, 200 mg kg-1 day-1) administered from day 0 to 20 of pregnancy on maternal reproductive performance and on the maternal and fetal liver antioxidant systems of streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar rats. On day 21 of pregnancy, the adult rats (weighing approximately 250 ± 50 g, minimum number = 13/group) were anesthetized to obtain maternal and fetal liver samples for superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and total glutathione (GSH-t) determinations. The uterus was weighed with its contents. The diabetic (G3) and treated diabetic (G4) groups of rats presented significant maternal hyperglycemia, reduced term pregnancy rate, impaired maternal reproductive outcome and fetal-placental development, decreased GSH-Px (G3 = G4 = 0.6 ± 0.2) and SOD (G3 = 223.0 ± 84.7; G4 = 146.1 ± 40.8), and decreased fetal CAT activity (G3 = 22.4 ± 10.6; G4 = 34.4 ± 14.1) and GSH-t (G3 = G4 = 0.3 ± 0.2), compared to the non-diabetic groups (G1, untreated control; G2, treated). For G1, maternal GSH-Px = 0.9 ± 0.2 and SOD = 274.1 ± 80.3; fetal CAT = 92.6 ± 82.7 and GSH-t = 0.6 ± 0.5. For G2, G. biloba treatment caused no toxicity and did not modify maternal or fetal-placental data. EGb 761 at the nontoxic dose used (200 mg kg-1 day-1), failed to modify the diabetes-associated increase in maternal glycemia, decrease in pregnancy rate, decrease in antioxidant enzymes, and impaired fetal development when the rats were treated throughout pregnancy (21 days).

Sequence change in the HS2-LCR and Gg-globin gene promoter region of sickle cell anemia patients

The fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels and ßS-globin gene haplotypes of 125 sickle cell anemia patients from Brazil were investigated. We sequenced the Gg- and Ag-globin gene promoters and the DNase I-2 hypersensitive sites in the locus control regions (HS2-LCR) of patients with HbF level disparities as compared to their ßS haplotypes. Sixty-four (51.2%) patients had CAR/Ben genotype; 36 (28.8%) Ben/Ben; 18 (14.4%) CAR/CAR; 2 (1.6%) CAR/Atypical; 2 (1.6%) Ben/Cam; 1 (0.8%) CAR/Cam; 1 (0.8%) CAR/Arab-Indian, and 1 (0.8%) Sen/Atypical. The HS2-LCR sequence analyses demonstrated a c.-10.677G>A change in patients with the Ben haplotype and high HbF levels. The Gg gene promoter sequence analyses showed a c.-157T>C substitution shared by all patients, and a c.-222_-225del related to the Cam haplotype. These results identify new polymorphisms in the HS2-LCR and Gg-globin gene promoter. Further studies are required to determine the correlation between HbF synthesis and the clinical profile of sickle cell anemia patients.

Prevalence of peripheral arterial occlusive disease in patients referred to a tertiary care hospital in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, for coronary angiography

The presence of peripheral arterial occlusive disease increases the morbidity and mortality of patients with coronary artery disease. The objective of the present study was to calculate the prevalence of peripheral arterial occlusive disease in patients referred for coronary angiography. This prevalence study was carried out at the Hemodynamics Unit of Hospital Santa Isabel, Salvador, Brazil, from December 2004 to April 2005. After approval by the Ethics Committee of the hospital, 397 patients with angiographic signs of coronary artery disease were enrolled. Diagnosis of peripheral arterial occlusive disease was made using the ankle-brachial blood pressure index (£0.90). Statistical analyses were performed using the z test and a level of significance of a = 5%, 95%CI, the chi-square test and t-test, and multiple logistic regression analysis. The prevalence of peripheral arterial occlusive disease was 34.3% (95%CI: 29.4-38.9). Mean age was 65.7 ± 9.4 years for patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease, and 60.3 ± 9.8 years for patients without peripheral arterial occlusive disease (P = 0.0000003). The prevalence of peripheral arterial occlusive disease was 1.57 times greater in patients with hypertension (P = 0.007) and 2.91 times greater in patients with coronary stenosis ³50% (P = 0.002). Illiterate patients and those with little education had a 44% higher chance of presenting peripheral arterial occlusive disease probably as a result of public health prevention policies of limited effectiveness. The prevalence of peripheral arterial occlusive disease in patients referred to a tertiary care hospital in Salvador, Bahia, for coronary angiography, was 34.3%.

Acute lead-induced vasoconstriction in the vascular beds of isolated perfused rat tails is endothelium-dependent

Chronic lead exposure induces hypertension in humans and animals, affecting endothelial function. However, studies concerning acute cardiovascular effects are lacking. We investigated the effects of acute administration of a high concentration of lead acetate (100 µΜ) on the pressor response to phenylephrine (PHE) in the tail vascular bed of male Wistar rats. Animals were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital and heparinized. The tail artery was dissected and cannulated for drug infusion and mean perfusion pressure measurements. Endothelium and vascular smooth muscle relaxation were tested with acetylcholine (5 µg/100 µL) and sodium nitroprusside (0.1 µg/100 µL), respectively, in arteries precontracted with 0.1 µM PHE. Concentration-response curves to PHE (0.001-300 µg/100 µL) were constructed before and after perfusion for 1 h with 100 ÂµΜ lead acetate. In the presence of endothelium (E+), lead acetate increased maximal response (Emax) (control: 364.4 ± 36, Pb2+: 480.0 ± 27 mmHg; P < 0.05) and the sensitivity (pD2; control: 1.98 ± 0.07, 2.38 ± 0.14 log mM) to PHE. In the absence of endothelium (E-) lead had no effect but increased baseline perfusion pressure (E+: 79.5 ± 2.4, E-: 118 ± 2.2 mmHg; P < 0.05). To investigate the underlying mechanisms, this protocol was repeated after treatment with 100 µM L-NAME, 10 µM indomethacin and 1 µM tempol in the presence of lead. Lead actions on Emax and pD2 were abolished in the presence of indomethacin, and partially abolished with L-NAME and tempol. Results suggest that acute lead administration affects the endothelium, releasing cyclooxygenase-derived vasoconstrictors and involving reactive oxygen species.

Triorganotin as a compound with potential reproductive toxicity in mammals

Organotin compounds are typical environmental contaminants and suspected endocrine-disrupting substances, which cause irreversible sexual abnormality in female mollusks, called "imposex". However, little is known about the capability of triorganotin compounds, such as tributyltin and triphenyltin, to cause disorders in the sexual development and reproductive functions of mammals, including humans and rodents. Moreover, these compounds can act as potential competitive inhibitors of aromatase enzyme and other steroidogenic enzymes, affecting the reproductive capacity of male and female mammals. In this review, we discuss the cellular, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms by which triorganotin compounds induce adverse effects in the mammalian reproductive function.

Furosemide is associated with acute kidney injury in critically ill patients

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in critically ill patients. Diuretics are used without any evidence demonstrating a beneficial effect on renal function. The objective of the present study is to determine the incidence of AKI in an intensive care unit (ICU) and if there is an association between the use of furosemide and the development of AKI. The study involved a hospital cohort in which 344 patients were consecutively enrolled from January 2010 to January 2011. A total of 132 patients (75 females and 57 males, average age 64 years) remained for analysis. Most exclusions were related to ICU discharge in the first 24 h. Laboratory, sociodemographic and clinical data were collected until the development of AKI, medical discharge or patient death. The incidence of AKI was 55% (95%CI = 46-64). The predictors of AKI found by univariate analysis were septic shock: OR = 3.12, 95%CI = 1.36-7.14; use of furosemide: OR = 3.27, 95%CI = 1.57-6.80, and age: OR = 1.02 (95%CI = 1.00-1.04). Analysis of the subgroup of patients with septic shock showed that the odds ratio of furosemide was 5.5 (95%CI = 1.16-26.02) for development of AKI. Age, use of furosemide, and septic shock were predictors of AKI in critically ill patients. Use of furosemide in the subgroup of patients with sepsis/septic shock increased (68.4%) the chance of development of AKI when compared to the sample as a whole (43.9%).

In vitro and in vivo antitumor activity of crude extracts obtained from Brazilian Chromobacterium sp isolates

Natural products produced by microorganisms have been an important source of new substances and lead compounds for the pharmaceutical industry. Chromobacterium violaceum is a Gram-negative β-proteobacterium, abundant in water and soil in tropical and subtropical regions and it produces violacein, a pigment that has shown great pharmaceutical potential. Crude extracts of five Brazilian isolates of Chromobacterium sp (0.25, 2.5, 25, and 250 µg/mL) were evaluated in an in vitro antitumor activity assay with nine human tumor cells. Secondary metabolic profiles were analyzed by liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry resulting in the identification of violacein in all extracts, whereas FK228 was detected only in EtCE 308 and EtCE 592 extracts. AcCE and EtCE 310 extracts showed selectivity for NCI/ADR-RES cells in the in vitro assay and were evaluated in vivo in the solid Ehrlich tumor model, resulting in 50.3 and 54.6% growth inhibition, respectively. The crude extracts of Chromobacterium sp isolates showed potential and selective antitumor activities for certain human tumor cells, making them a potential source of lead compounds. Furthermore, the results suggest that other compounds, in addition to violacein, deoxyviolacein and FK228, may be involved in the antitumor effect observed.

Gränsbevakningsväsendets riskanalyser och dess tilllämpning inom sjöräddningstjänsten

Gränsbevakningsväsendet (GBV) ansvarar i egenskap av ledande sjöräddningsmyndighet för organiserandet och ledandet av sjöräddningstjänsten i Finland. Sjöräddningsverksamheten och allmän säkerhet till havs är starkt förknippat med risker som bör tas i beaktande då verksamheten och beredskapen planeras. En händelses risk går aldrig att fullständigt eliminera men kan däremot motverkas och reduceras genom noggrann planering och riskhantering. Genom att identifiera och analysera de potentiella riskerna som påverkar verksamheten går det att åtgärda och förbereda sig på dem innan de sker. Detta arbete utreder hur Internationella standardiseringsorganisationens (ISO) standardiserade definition på riskanalys tillämpas inom Gränsbevakningsväsendets sjöräddningstjänst, och hurudana riskanalyser förekommer i inom sjöräddningstjänsten. Arbetets huvudfrågeställning är: Vad definierar en riskanalys och på vilket sätt motsvarar den GBV:s tillämpade riskanalyser? Och underfrågeställningar: På vilket sätt skiljer sig GBV:s regionala riskanalyser från teorigrunden? Och på vilket sätt utnyttjar GBV sina riska-nalyser inom sjöräddningsverksamheten? Arbetet studerar systematiskt GBV:s riskanalyser genom kvalitativ dokumentanalys och analyserar resultatet mot teorigrunden genom en jämförande analys för att svara på forskningsfrågorna. Källmaterialet består huvudsakligen av Internationella standardiseringsorganisationens standarder 31000 och 31010, Gränsbevak-ningsväsendets bestående dokument C.12, GBV:s riskanalyser, sjöbevakningssektionernas sjöräddningsplaner och samarbetsplanen för beredskap inför marina flertypsolyckor. Forskningens resultat tyder på att GBV tillämpar standardens definitioner på riskanalys i till-lämpad utsträckning för sjöräddningsverksamhetens del. Den jämförande analysen visar många likheter mellan GBV:s dokument och teorigrunden, medan de största skillnaderna är att GBV:s riskanalyser inte håller sig strikt innanför standardens ramar för vad som skall ingå i en riskanalys. GBV:s riskanalyser har inslag från riskbedömningens alla delområden men producerar inte riskanalysens huvudsakliga produkt, nämligen risknivåerna. En del av GBV:s riskanalyser saknar en tydlig sammanfattande avslutning där de centrala riskerna skulle framgå kombinerade med t.ex. riskmatriser vilket leder till att en skillnad mellan teoretisk och praktisk tillämpning av riskanalyserna uppstår. Riskanalyserna skapar med sitt innehåll en täckande helhet över alla potentiella risker för sjöräddningsverksamheten men förutsätter att läsaren antingen är medveten om innehållet på förhand eller har tillräckligt med tid att sätta sig in i materialet.

Den konkurrensrättsliga kontraheringspliktens utveckling och modernisering

Avhandlingen undersöker i enlighet med rubriken den konkurrensrättsliga kontraheringspliktens utveckling och modernisering. Denna kontraheringsplikt är mycket kontroversiell eftersom den bland annat anses påverka såväl näringsidkares avtalsfrihet som investerings- och innovationsvilja. Trots detta förekommer den i såväl EU:s som USA:s konkurrensrätt. På 2000-talet har det dock skett stora förändringar på området, vilka också är centrala för denna avhandling. Den första förändringen är den förändrade amerikanska rättspraxisen. Denna förändring har gjort kontraheringspliktens framtid i USA både oklar och tveksam. Eftersom konkurrensrätten i USA överlag anses ha en stark påverkan på konkurrensrätten i EU, undersöks hurdan påverkan just den konkurrensrättsliga kontraheringsplikten egentligen har haft. På detta sätt fastställs om den förändrade rättspraxisen också kan tänkas ha verkningar inom EU. Den andra förändringen är den så kallade moderniseringen av EU:s konkurrensrätt som nu också nått artikel 102 i EUF-fördraget och därmed också den konkurrensrättsliga kontraheringsplikten. Denna modernisering handlar om att införa ett mer ekonomiskt angreppssätt med fokus på konsumentvälfärden vid bedömningen av missbruk av dominerande marknadsställning. Avhandlingens forskningsmetod är i första hand rättsdogmatisk. Det betyder att gällande rätt tolkas och systematiseras. I förevarande fall innebär gällande rätt såväl USA:s högsta domstols som EU-domstolens rättspraxis. I fråga om EU spelar dock även såväl sekundärrätten som icke bindande rättsakter en viktig roll i detta sammanhang. Ytterligare har denna avhandling komparativa drag med avsikten att jämföra den konkurrensrättsliga kontraheringsplikten i två olika konkurrensrättsliga system. Vidare är denna avhandling även på sätt och vis tvärvetenskaplig i och med att moderniseringen långt handlar om att införa ett ekonomiskt synsätt i konkurrensrätten. Poängteras bör dock att ekonomiska analyser numera är en naturlig del av konkurrensrätten och således inget ovanligt i sig. ’ Avhandling framskrider på följande vis. Efter det inledande kapitlet redogörs i avhandlingens andra kapitel för den centrala kritiken av kontraheringsplikten. I det tredje kapitlet jämförs lagstiftningen och rättspraxisen i USA och EU med varandra samt redogörs för moderniseringen inom EU:s konkurrensrätt. Det fjärde kapitlet tillämpar moderniseringens principer på den konkurrensrättsliga kontraheringsplikten i EU. Avhandlingens femte kapitel är samtidigt det sista och därför reserverat för avslutande och sammanfattande kommentarer.

Leveiden keskimerkintöjen liikenneturvallisuusvaikutusten arviointi

Tämän raportin tavoitteena oli käsitellä leveiden keskimerkintöjen liikenneturvallisuusvaikutuksia, toteuttaa mielipidekysely kantatie 54 kokeiluosuuden vaikutusalueella sekä esitellä aiemmin tehdyt tutkimukset ja leveiden keskimerkintöjen taustaa. Raportin on laatinut Eino Lahtinen Hämeen ammattikorkeakoulusta opinnäytetyönään. Työn taustateoriaksi syvennyttiin leveiden keskimerkintöjen historiaan Suomessa ja ulkomailla sekä Suomessa tehtyihin tutkimuksiin aiheesta. Suomessa ja ulkomailla on havaittu jo vuosikymmenten ajan korkealuokkaisten teiden liikenneturvallisuuden heikentyneen liikenteen lisääntyessä. Kohtaamis- ja ohitusonnettomuuksien jäljet ovat usein raakaa katseltavaa ja luettavaa. Huoli kohtaamis- ja ohitusonnettomuuksien määristä ja niiden vakavuuksista painostaa etsimään ratkaisuja tämän kaltaisten onnettomuuksien vähentämiseksi. Tästä syystä on 1980-luvulta lähtien aktiivisesti etsitty liikenneturvallisuutta parantavia kustannustehokkaita ratkaisuja. Visuaalisia vaikutuksia arvioidessa havaittiin jo varhain kaistan leveyden visuaalisen kaventamisen johtavan ajonopeuksien laskuun, joka vähentää onnettomuuksia ja niiden vakavuuksia. Yhdeksi ratkaisuksi esitettiin leveää keskimerkintää, josta on ollut erilaisia kokeiluja ulkomailla 1996 ja Suomessa 2009 lähtien. Työn tuloksena voidaan esittää, että leveiden keskimerkintöjen vaikutukset ajokäyttäytymiseen ovat melko vähäiset, sillä lähes puolet kyselyyn vastanneista ei havainnut muutosta omassa tai muiden ajokäyttäytymisessä. Työn perusteella arvioidaan, että leveät keskimerkinnät vähensivät henkilövahinkoon johtaneita ohitus-, kohtaamis- ja vasemmalle suistumisonnettomuuksia 17 – 21 %. Tutkimuksen perusteella voidaan todeta, että leveitä keskimerkintöjä käytettäessä on varmistuttava riittävästä piennarleveydestä (vähintään 1 m). Leveää keskimerkintää voidaan käyttää alueilla, jossa tien päällysteen leveys on vähintään 10 m, KVL vähintään 1500 ajon/vrk ja tiejakson pituus vähintään 10 km. Leveän keskialueen tulisi olla metrin levyinen.
