Análise do gene TUBB3 e de Copy Number Variations em pacientes com Polimicrogiria

A polimicrogiria (PMG) é uma malformação do córtex cerebral causada por falhas no seu desenvolvimento, caracterizando-se por um número excessivo de pequenos giros e laminação anormal, dando à superfície cortical uma aparência irregular e grosseira. A gravidade de suas manifestações clínicas se relaciona diretamente com a extensão da malformação e das regiões cerebrais afetadas, sendo que a presença de lesões bilaterais ou unilaterais extensas indica um pior prognóstico. Uma das síndromes de polimicrogiria mais freqüentes e, conseqüentemente, mais bem descritas clinicamente, é a polimicrogiria perisylviana bilateral (PPB). Essa forma de PMG atinge a região que tange a fenda Sylviana, podendo apresentar-se tanto unilateralmente quanto em ambos os hemisférios. Vários genes têm sido relacionados a diferentes formas de polimicrogiria, são eles AFF2,TUBA1A, TUBB2B e TUBA8, SRPX2 e WDR62. Estes genes já foram estudados pelo nosso grupo de pesquisa em um grupo de pacientes compostos de casos familiares e esporádicos, acometidos em sua maioria pela forma perisylviana de PMG. Nenhuma variante deletéria foi identificada nestes genes. Recentemente um novo gene foi implicado na etiologia molecular das PMG, o TUBB3. O gene em questão pertence à mesma família de TUBA1A, TUBB2B e TUBA8 e codifica uma proteína de ligação aos microtúbulos, tendo importante papel na formação do fuso. Além deste gene, também tem sido descritas alterações genômicas, denominadas de Copy Number Variations (CNV), estas variações estruturais tem sido associadas com diversos distúrbios neurológicos, que vão desde transtornos psiquiátricos até malformações do córtex cerebral como a PMG. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a existência de alterações de ponto deletérias no gene TUBB3 em pacientes com PMG e também, o envolvimento de CNVsna etiologia deste tipo de malformação ...

Estudo dos compostos voláteis da decomposição térmica dos anti-helmínticos Albendazol e Mebendazol

The albendazole and mebendazole drugs are benzimidazole derivatives and belong to the anthelmintic class. These drugs are particularly recommended for the treatment against worms present in the gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans, by acting directly on the worm metabolism. The need for thermally study drugs is related to all the parameters that these analyzes include: presence or absence of polymorphs, possible changes in the crystallinity of the drugs, as well as the quality control during the manufacturing process thereof. In this study the thermal behavior of anthelmintic albendazole and commercial mebendazole and its recrystallisation in organic solvents, such as acetic acid and formic acid in dimethylformamide to mebendazole, and albendazole were studied using TG-DSC techniques, TG-FTIR, FTIR and XRD. TG-DSC techniques were used so it could collect information about the thermal stability of the compounds steps for thermal decomposition process and also prove its melting temperature. For recrystallization of drugs in organic solvents, the TG-DSC curves were analyzed to compare and determine that the occurrence of polymorphs. The coupled TG-FTIR technique allowed the analysis of volatile products which were released during the thermal decomposition of the commercial mebendazole. The absorption spectroscopy in the infrared region was performed to mebendazole, and albendazole in order to show the difference in functional groups of both, comparing the spectra with commercial drugs and see if there was recrystallized changes in the absorption band where the drug was recrystallized or when heated. The diffraction technique by powder X-ray method was used for comparison of the crystal structures of commercial drugs and recrystallization in organic solvents to identify changes in crystallinity both, which might suggest the formation of polymorphs

Formação de nomes deverbais nas Cantigas de Santa Maria

This research aims to present and discuss three morphophonological processes – juxtaposition, allomorphy of the verbal thematic vowel and gemination of similar vowels – which occurs in word formation involving the suffixes -çon and -mento in a corpus composed of 420 Cantigas de Santa Maria. The cases analyzed in this study occurred with nouns from verbs of the first, second and third conjugations. Through the analysis of these processes we conclude that the suffix -çon triggers more morphophonological processes than the suffix -mento. However, although the processes are very productive, we note that most of the names were formed from the juxtaposition of the suffixes - especially in nouns formed with -mento – which shows a tendency to regularity in the word formation with these suffixes.

Memória e identidade nos romances de Milton Hatoum

This article deals with how Milton Hatoum explores aspects of the memory, through the convergence of voices in his four Lusophone novels Tale of a Certain Orient, The Brothers, Ashes of the Amazon and Orphans of Eldorado. A profile of complex characters is constructed through a synthesis of accounts, letters and depositions, as different faces of individuals and society at large are interspersed through memory.

Nosso corpo nos pertence? discursos feministas do corpo

The aim of this paper is to analyze the contents of the feminist discourses on the body, as regards the continuities and changes in the social practices related to reproduction. It covers the period going from the 70’s to nowadays, when the growing improvement of medical science and technology has started interfering with the body and reproductive practices. We seek to understand how the inaugural discourses on the contemporary feminism related to the body have developed during this period, with the increasing use of reproductive technologies in France and Brazil. The feminist concept of self-control of the body has turned into the analysis of the fusion of body and technologies that build new identities

Influência do ciclo de sinterização da porcelana na adaptação marginal de infraestruturas de NiCrTi em função da biomecânica do preparo

A metal coping may undergo changes during porcelain firing, which compromises its marginal adaptation. The use of NiCrTi alloy proposes to minimize this effect through the high melting point of titanium present in its composition. This study evaluated the influence of porcelain firing cycle on the marginal adaptation of NiCrTi copings in different preparation designs. Forty standardized metal dies were fabricated with the following combinations finish line/convergence of the axial walls: 1) shoulder/6°; 2) shoulder/20°; 3) sloping shoulder/6°; 4) sloping shoulder/20°. On each die a metal ceramic restoration coping was made. The die/coping set was stabilized with orthodontic elastics, divided into four equidistant areas with three measurement points each and a cementation pressure was simulated. The measurements were taken under a stereomicroscope (32×). After the first measurement, the copings were submitted to sintering cycles simulating porcelain application. For repeated measurements, the same procedures described above were performed. Data were submitted to Student’s-t test, 1-way ANOVA and Tukey´s test (α = 0.05). Adaptation means (µm) before and after porcelain firing in different preparations were: 1) 111.92 and 127.31; 2) 124.15 and 135.48; 3) 122.19 and 138.77; 4) 166.09 and 186.72; respectively. The porcelain firing impaired adaptation, regardless of the preparation design. The preparation in a 20° sloping shoulder provided a worse adaptation when compared with preparations that had 6° and 20° shoulder, which were statistically equal. The 6° sloping shoulder was statistically equal to the other three preparation designs.
