The objective of the present work was to evaluate the in vitro mycelial growth of ten L. edodes strains (LED 12, LED 20, LED 25, LED 27, LED 33, LED 35, LED 51, LED 55, LED 58 and LED 75) submitted to the temperatures of 15, 20 and 25 ºC. An agar medium prepared with eucalyptus wood extract and soy bran was used and radial measurement of the mycelial growth of L. edodes strains was performed. The experimental design was totally randomized, in a 10 x 3 factorial scheme. Each treatment corresponded to a Petri plate and consisted of 5 repetitions. It was verified that L. edodes growth is influenced by the incubation temperature, that is the temperature of 25 ºC was the most favorable for the mycelial growth of all L. edodes strains, especially for LE 75, LE 55, LE 33 and LE 12 strains, which obtained the highest mycelial growth averages at 25 ºC at the end of the cultivation cycle.

Lentinus strigosus (Schwein.) Fr. is an exploitable edible mushroom occurring in the Brazilian Amazon, being part of a huge diversity of edible mushrooms which are little grown. The use of regional waste is recommended to reduce production costs of any kind of edible mushroom. Thus, the mycelial growth of L. strigosus in culture media based on regional wood waste extract by using substrates based on Protium puncticulatum, Cariniana micrantha and Caryocar glabum sawdust, supplemented with 20% of wheat bran (Triticum aestivum), corn bran (Zea sp.) or rice bran (Oryza sp.) was observed. Eucalyptus (Eucaliptus sp.) sawdust was used for comparison with the other wood wastes because it is commonly used in the cultivation of edible fungi. The experimental design employed was totally randomized, in 4 x 3 factorial scheme (sawdust x bran), adding up 12 treatments with 5 repetitions, being that each repetition corresponded to a Petri dish, totalizing 60 dishes, incubated at 35 ºC. The diameter of the colony was daily evaluated until the fungus reached the borders of the Petri dish in one of the treatments. After that period, the media based on P. puncticulatum sawdust obtained thebest results of mycelial growth, showing potential to be used as an alternative residuein a future production of L. strigosus in the state of Amazonas.

The objective of the work was to evaluate the in vitro mycelial growth of five A. blazei strains (ABL-05/53, ABL-04/49, ABL-03/44, ABL-99/30 and ABL-02/51) when submitted to the temperatures of 20 and 25 ºC. In a laminar flow chamber, discs of the strains were inoculated in the middle of Petri’s plates containing CA (compost-agar) medium and incubated in BOD. After 48 hours, measurements of the mycelial growth began, with the help of a ruler with scale in millimeters, by means of four equidistant measurements, until the moment when the fungal colony reached near the edges of the Petri’s plate in one of the treatments. The experimental design was totally randomized, in 5 x 2 factorial design. Each treatment consisted of seven repetitions, corresponding to one Petri’s plate, totalizing seventy experimental units. We verified that A. blazei growth is influenced by incubation temperature, being that the temperature of 25 ºC was more favorable for the mycelial growth of all A. blazei strains tested, with attention for ABL-04/49 and ABL-03/44 strains, which obtained the highest averages for mycelial growth under this temperature condition at the end of the cultivation cycle.

Usage of pesticies in excessive doses or in an inadequate way to control diseases, pests and weeds, has promoted significant environmental damage, contamination of animals, intoxication of farmers, among others. These factors lead to occur the resistance of weeds, pests and pathogens, the appearance of iatrogenic diseases, biological imbalance and reduction in biodiversity. Seeking less aggressive alternatives, plant extracts have been used successfully. Compared to synthetic products, they offer great advantages as generating new compounds, which pathogens are unable to inactivate, and are less toxic, of rapid degradation in the environment, they have broad modes of action, and are derived from renewable resources. It should be emphasized that there are some limitations on its use. The extracts have potencial as insecticide, fungicide, herbicide and nematicide and are considered of good efficiency. The methodologies for obtaining can be achieved through cold extraction, open and closed hot system. The use of plant extracts reappears as a promising and unique option for integrated management in plant protection, being considered as an alternative to control plant pathogens, demonstrating excellent results without causing harm to the environment and living beings.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the mycelial growth of 2 edible fungi (Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinula edodes) in 6 culture media [(malt-agar, sawdustdextrose-agar-marupá (SDA-MA), sawdust-dextrose-agar-cajuí (SDA-CA), sawdust-dextrose-agaraçaí (SDA-AÇA), sawdust-dextrose-agar-banana 50% (BAN 50%) and sawdust-dextrose-agar-banana 100% (BAN 100%)], in Petri dishes. The experimental design was totally randomized, in a 6x2 factorial scheme. Each treatment consisted of six repetitions in 1 Petri dish, totaling 72 experimental units. It was verified that P. ostreatus presented better mycelial development (81.00; 64.66; 81.00; 50.16 and 33.33mm for SDA-MA, SDA-CA, SDA-AÇA, BAN 50% and BAN 100%, respectively) than L. edodes (32.00; 31.66; 27.66; 37.33 and 21.83mm for SDA-MA, SDA-CA, SDA-AÇA, BAN 50% and BAN 100%, respectively). It was also verified that there was no advantage for L. edodes in relation to mycelial growth, when media based on residues were used, compared to malt-agar medium (control), which obtained the best performance (62.17mm). As for P. ostreatus, SDA-MA and SDA-AÇA medium presented the highest growth averages (81 mm), representing a growth increase of 34% in relation to the control medium (malt-agar), whose growth average was 60.33mm. Thus, the residues tested present potential to be used in fungiculture, especially for the cultivation of P. ostreatus.

A busca por novos agentes antimicrobianos é muito importante, uma vez que as bactérias possuem um alto potencial de recombinação genética, levando a um aumento de cepas resistentes aos fármacos antimicrobianos já existentes. Nesse contexto, os cogumelos podem ser uma alternativa, uma vez que extratos e constituintes químicos destes apresentam atividade frente a diversos isolados patogênicos e utilizados na medicina popular. Dentre as espécies de maior interesse estão o Agaricus blazei (cogumelo do sol), Agaricus bisporus (champignon de Paris) e Lentinus edodes (shitake). O Helicobacter pylori é responsável por doenças gastrointestinais de extrema importância para a saúde pública, como úlceras, gastrites até tumores malignos. O tratamento mais utilizado nos controles deste micro-organismo não é eficaz. Os cogumelos aparecem como alternativa para novas pesquisas neste ramo podendo vir a ser utilizados no desenvolvimento de novo fitoterápico ou mesmo como adjuvante deste tratamento. Existem diversos métodos para determinar a atividade antimicrobiana, entre eles a microdiluição. Esta técnica vem sendo muito utilizada principalmente devido à sua sensibilidade e pequena quantidade de reagentes e amostras, o que possibilita um maior número de réplicas, aumentando a confiabilidade dos resultados. Em continuidade ao estudo do nosso grupo de pesquisa este trabalho objetiva determinar o potencial anti-H. pylori de espécies de cogumelos comestíveis instigados pela possibilidade de encontrar uma alternativa para o tratamento desse micro-organismos dada a importância do mesmo na saúde pública. A atividade antibacteriana dos diferentes extratos de Lentinus edodes, Agaricus bisporus, obtidos por infusão, ultrassom e maceração e de extratos purificados de Agaricus blazei e da substância isolada β-glucana foi determinada pela técnica de microdiluição a fim de obter a concentração inibitória mínima (CIM) frente às...

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of lead poisoning in children and to identify associated factors, as well as possible local sources of contamination. METHODS: A cross-sectional prevalence study conducted in 2006 with a random sample of 97 children age zero to five years from a neighborhood in Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil. Blood lead levels were measured and a questionnaire administered to collect information on sociodemographics, recycling and dwelling. A preliminary environmental evaluation was carried out with direct analysis of soil and indirect analysis of air pollution with bioindicators to identify possible sources of contamination. To analyze lead concentrations from the different collection sites, for each type of material studied, ANOVA was performed with a Brown-Forsythe adjustment for heteroscedasticity and with Dunnett's T3 procedure for multiple comparisons of unequal variances. RESULTS: Blood lead levels >= 10.0 mu g/dL was found in 16.5% of children. Recycling of waste at home, low father's education level, and increased age of children were associated with increase blood lead levels. High lead levels were found in soil, and there was little indication of lead air pollution. CONCLUSIONS: A high prevalence of lead poisoning was identified, and the potential sources of contamination in this community appear related to waste recylcing activities. Studies should be conducted with other populations of Brazilian children and evaluate potential sources of local and general contamination, to accurately characterize this issue in Brazil.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES: Themes like alcohol and drug abuse, relationship difficulties, psychoses, autism and personality dissociation disorders have been widely used in films. Psychiatry and psychiatric conditions in various cultural settings are increasingly taught using films. Many articles on cinema and psychiatry have been published but none have presented any methodology on how to select material. Here, the authors look at the portrayal of abusive use of alcohol and drugs during the Brazilian cinema revival period (1994 to 2008). DESIGN AND SETTING: Qualitative study at two universities in the state of São Paulo. METHODS: Scenes were selected from films available at rental stores and were analyzed using a specifically designed protocol. We assessed how realistic these scenes were and their applicability for teaching. One author selected 70 scenes from 50 films (graded for realism and teaching applicability > 8). These were then rated by another two judges. Rating differences among the three judges were assessed using nonparametric tests (P < 0.001). Scenes with high scores (> 8) were defined as "quality scenes". RESULTS: Thirty-nine scenes from 27 films were identified as "quality scenes". Alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, hallucinogens and inhalants were included in these. Signs and symptoms of intoxication, abusive/harmful use and dependence were shown. CONCLUSIONS: We have produced rich teaching material for discussing psychopathology relating to alcohol and drug use that can be used both at undergraduate and at postgraduate level. Moreover, it could be seen that certain drug use behavioral patterns are deeply rooted in some Brazilian films and groups.

Although several studies on ammonia poisoning have been carried out, there is a lack of information on acid-base balance status in ammonia-poisoned cattle. Twelve crossbred steers received intraruminally 0.5 g of urea per kg of body weight in order to induce a clinical picture of ammonia poisoning. Blood samples were collected throughout the trials in order to determine the blood ammonia, lactate, and perform blood gas analysis. All cattle presented a classical clinical picture of ammonia poisoning, with a blood ammonia concentration rising progressively from the beginning until reaching higher values at 180 min (27 ± 3 to 1719 ± 101 μmol L-1), with a similar pattern occurring with blood L-lactate levels (1.7 ± 0.3 to 26.0 ± 1.7 mmol L-1). The higher the blood ammonia concentration the higher the blood L-lactate levels (r = 0.86). All animals developed metabolic acidosis, as blood pH lowered to 7.24 0.03. The steers tried to compensate the metabolic acidosis mainly through the use of blood buffers and respiratory adjustments by lowering the pCO2 levels in the blood to 32.8 ± 2.0 mm Hg.

A preocupação com o estudo das formas e dimensões das arcadas dentárias sempre esteve presente na ciência ortodôntica. Para a Ortodontia Lingual, que surgiu no final da década de 70, o primeiro artigo publicado foi o Fujita, onde relatou sobre a forma do arco a ser utilizado nesta técnica, a forma de cogumelo. Apesar de estar sendo divulgada de uma maneira mais intensa nestes últimos anos como uma solução estética definitiva e eficaz, o enfoque dos estudos sobre esta técnica tem sido a fabricação de novos materiais, técnicas de montagem do aparelho lingual e soluções clínicas, com poucas menções sobre a morfologia das arcadas dentárias. O presente trabalho tem a finalidade de estudar as formas e dimensões linguais das arcadas dentárias de indivíduos leucodermas com oclusão normal. Foram utilizados 47 pares de modelos de gesso de oclusão normal digitalizados pela face olcusal, previamente desgastadas até o terço médio da coroa para proporcionar melhor visualização. Por meio do programa CorelDraw 12 foram determinados pontos de referências e criados alguns pontos virtuais necessários para a realização das medidas. Os resultados determinaram três formas das arcadas dentárias linguais: cogumelo, árvore de Natal e mista. A maior prevalência foi a forma árvore de Natal, mas quando analisadas separadamente as arcadas dentárias linguais, encontrados no superior, maior prevalência da forma de cogumelo e no inferior da forma árvore de Natal. Conseqüentemente, esta foi a combinação mais prevalente entre as arcadas dentárias linguais superiores e inferiores. Propusemos diagramas para conformação de arcos ortodônticos linguais com base nos valores obtidos da amostra, determinando-se o quartil 1, mediana e quartil 3, como definidores dos tamanhos pequeno, médio e grande.
