Vertical profiles of environmental parameters measured on discrete water samples collected with Niskin bottles at station TARA_180 during the Tara Oceans expedition 2009-2013

The Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013) was a global survey of ocean ecosystems aboard the Sailing Vessel Tara. It carried out extensive measurements of evironmental conditions and collected plankton (viruses, bacteria, protists and metazoans) for later analysis using modern sequencing and state-of-the-art imaging technologies. Tara Oceans Data are particularly suited to study the genetic, morphological and functional diversity of plankton. The present data set includes properties of seawater, particulate matter and dissolved matter that were measured from discrete water samples collected with Niskin bottles during the 2009-2013 Tara Oceans expedition. Properties include pigment concentrations from HPLC analysis (10 depths per vertical profile, 25 pigments per depth), the carbonate system (Surface and 400m; pH (total scale), CO2, pCO2, fCO2, HCO3, CO3, Total alkalinity, Total carbon, OmegaAragonite, OmegaCalcite, and dosage Flags), nutrients (10 depths per vertical profile; NO2, PO4, N02/NO3, SI, quality Flags), DOC, CDOM, and dissolved oxygen isotopes. The Service National d'Analyse des Paramètres Océaniques du CO2, at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, determined CT and AT potentiometrically. More than 200 vertical profiles of these properties were made across the world ocean. DOC, CDOM and dissolved oxygen isotopes are available only for the Arctic Ocean and Arctic Seas (2013).

Efeitos da suplementação oral de zinco sobre o crescimento de crianças pré-púberes saudáveis e eutróficas

Introdução: o zinco é um importante micronutriente para numerosos processos bioquímicos em animais e humanos, desempenhando papel de destaque no crescimento e desenvolvimento. Em populações mundiais, a deficiência primária grave de zinco não é comum, embora, a deficiência leve seja bastante prevalente. Considerando que o zinco é essencial para a saúde humana e regula o sistema hipotálamo, hipófise, fígado e osso, buscamos averiguar os seus efeitos no eixo GH-IGF1-IGFBP3 agudamente, mediante administração intravenosa com o elemento zinco, e cronicamente, mediante suplementação oral com o elemento zinco, usando doses fisiológicas de 0.06537 mg Zn/kg (via intravenosa) e 10 mg Zn/dia (via oral). A inclusão de crianças pré-púberes aparentemente saudáveis e eutróficas sem deficiência de zinco é raro na literatura, pois grande parte das publicações foram reportadas em crianças apresentando deficiência de zinco. A metodologia aplicada foi absolutamente inovadora e original, tornando o estudo altamente relevante para a interface entre endocrinologia e nutrição. Objetivo: investigar os efeitos da suplementação oral e administração intravenosa com o elemento zinco sobre a secreção de GH, IGF1, IGFBP3, OCN, ALP, TRAP e PT em crianças aparentemente saudáveis e eutróficas sem deficiência de zinco. Métodos: o estudo foi conduzido durante um período de três meses, e caracterizado por ser randomizado controlado triplo cego. As crianças foram selecionadas por amostragem não probabilística de conveniência, provenientes de escolas públicas municipais, de ambos os gêneros, na faixa etária compreendida entre 8 e 9 anos de idade, divididas em grupo controle (20 crianças recebendo solução placebo contendo 10% de sorbitol) e grupo experimental (20 crianças suplementadas com o elemento zinco na forma de sulfato de zinco heptahidratado – ZnSO4.7H2O). As crianças foram submetidas à suplementação oral de zinco elementar (10 mg Zn/dia) e à administração intravenosa de zinco (0.06537 mg Zn/kg de peso corporal), na forma de ZnSO4.7H2O, cujas amostras sanguíneas foram coletadas em 0, 60, 120, 180 e 210 minutos. Foram realizadas avaliações antropométricas e dietéticas e dosagens bioquímicas e hormonais nas crianças estudadas. Resultados: após a suplementação oral, foi observado no grupo experimental (i) aumento significativo dos valores de ingestão de energia total, proteína e gordura total (p = 0.0007, p< 0.0001, p< 0.0001, respectivamente), (ii) aumento significativo do zinco sérico basal (p< 0.0001), aumento significativo das concentrações plasmáticas de fostatase alcalina (p = 0.0270), e (iv) correlação positiva com o IGF1, IGFBP3, OCN, comparando antes e após a suplementação (p = 0.0011, p< 0.0001, p< 0.0446, respectivamente). Durante a administração venosa de zinco, as concentrações plasmáticas de IGF1 e IGFBP3 aumentaram significativamente no grupo experimental (p = 0.0468, p < 0.0001, respectivamente). Em relação o cálculo da adequação aparente, segundo as DRI, para o cálcio, houve inadequação da dieta com 85% de confiabilidade dos dados; para o ferro, adequação da dieta, com 85% de confiabilidade dos dados. Para o zinco, adequação da dieta, com 50% de confiabilidade dos dados. Conclusões: a suplementação oral com o elemento zinco pode ter estimulado um aumento na ingestão de energia total, proteína e gordura total, assim como, nas concentrações basais de zinco sérico e nas concentrações plasmáticas de fosfatase alcalina. A administração intravenosa de zinco aumentou as concentrações séricas de zinco e as concentrações plasmáticas de GH, IGF1 e IGFBP3 no grupo experimental.

Receptores de citocinas proinflamatórias na pré-eclâmpsia

Preeclampsia is a disease specific of human pregnancy that affects 3-8% of pregnant women, and it is one of the three leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity. The disease is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria after the 20th week of gestation. The risk factors for this disease are not completely understood but appear to include dysregulation of the immune response arising from defects in placentation, environmental and genetic factors. This study aimed to determine whether the variation in the amount of proinflammatory cytokine receptors IL-1R2, IL-6R and TNF-αR1 would be involved in preeclampsia. They were recruited women with preeclampsia (n=24) and women who evolved during pregnancy without changes in blood pressure (n=12) were recruited. Clinical and laboratory data were collected. The cytokine receptors (IL-1R2, TNF-αR1 and IL-6R) were assessed in mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood using flow cytometry (Control = 8; PE = 24). C-reactive protein (CRP) was determined by CRP ultrasensitive method (Control = 7; PE = 18) was performed using sera pregnant women. Women with preeclampsia had higher weight at the beginning of the pregnancy (p=0.0171) and lower gestational age at delivery (0.0008). Classical monocytes were decreased in preeclampsia but not intermediate or non-classical monocytes. The frequency of IL-1R2 pro inflammatory cytokine receptors is decreased in women with PE only in the subpopulation of non-classical monocytes (p = 0.0011). TNF-αR1 receptor and IL-6R, had a decreased frequency in the three subpopulations of monocyte (classic, intermediate and non-classical) when compared to women with normal pregnancy. An increase in IL-1R2 receptor in TCD4+ lymphocytes, but a decrease in TNF-receptor and IL-6R in women with preeclampsia were found. No differences in the frequency of those receptors in CD3+/CD8+ in preeclampsia. There was no difference in C-reactive protein in preeclampsia. The reduction in the amount of IL-1R2, TNF- αR1 and IL-6R monocytes and lymphocytes can be involved in the regulation of inflammation observed in preeclampsia, contributing to disease.
