汶川地震后青少年创伤后应激障碍症状及其相关因素研究

The present paper studies focus on the symptoms of the post-traumatic stress disorder in adolescents post-disaster. 482 students from 6 secondary schools and 17 primary schools in the extremely severe disaster areas in Mianzhu, Sichuan province and 785 students from 3 primary schools and 9 secondary schools in the severe disaster areas in Baoji, Shaanxi respectively were surveyed on the symptoms of the post-traumatic stress disorder and the extent of disaster exposure after the Wenchuan earthquake. Self-compiled background information questionnaire and CRIES were used for the investigation. In this study, we contrast the extent of disaster exposure in the two areas in order to explore the related factors about the post-traumatic stress disorder in adolescent post-disaster. The main results of this paper can be summarized as follows： 1. There are significant positive corrections between the post-traumatic stress disorder and the extent of disaster exposure(get trapped in the earthquake、relatives and friends have been injured in the earthquake、look at relatives and friends dying in the earthquake).The more exposed in the disaster, the more serious symptom of the post-traumatic stress disorder. The trauma exposure indicators (get trapped in the earthquake, relatives and friends have been injured in the earthquake、look at relatives and friends dying in the earthquake)were all significant predictors for PTSD severity. 2. There are significant sex difference in the extent（F=8.750, p <0.05） and the incidence rate of PTSD（χ =20.735, df=5,p =0.001）, the extent and the incidence rate of girls in Mianzhu is significantly higher than that of boys. 3. The age is also an influence factor of PTSD. The extent （F=7.246, p <0.001）and the incidence rate （χ =20.735, df=5,p =0.001）of PTSD get higher as adolescent in Mianzhu get older. 4. As the extremely severe disaster areas, the extent of disaster exposure of Mianzhu areas significantly higher than that of the severe disaster areas Baoji. However, there are not difference in the extent of PTSD between two areas（t=0.181，df=1265,p=0.857）, there are only significant difference in the incidence rate of PTSD between two areas（χ =8.766，df=1,p=0.003）, the incidence rate of PTSD in Mianzhu areas significantly higher than that of Baoji areas.

Otimização de protocolo para análise de AFLP em Lolium multiflorum Lam.

ESTABELECIMENTO DE METODOLOGIA PARA ANÁLISE MOLECULAR DE AZEVÉM ANUAL COM MARCADORES AFLP. O uso de marcadores moleculares no manejo de bancos de germoplasma tem sido cada vez mais expressivo. Entre os diferentes tipos de marcadores moleculares, o AFLP, Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism, apresenta algumas vantagens para uso na caracterização de recursos genéticos, como a detecção de grande número de bandas informativas por reação, com ampla cobertura do genoma e considerável reprodutibilidade, além de não necessitar de dados de seqüenciamento prévio da espécie para a construção de primers. Embora a análise de AFLP seja freqüentemente utilizada em estudos de variabilidade genética em diferentes espécies, o uso da técnica em Lolium multiflorum ainda é incipiente. Com a finalidade de estabelecer um protocolo para o emprego da técnica de AFLP em azevém anual foi conduzido este trabalho. Foram avaliadas as concentrações iniciais de DNA genômico de 100 e 250 ng, a digestão do DNA com 1,25 e 1U das enzimas EcoRI e MSe, e os respectivos tempos de reação de digestão: 3, 6 e 12 horas. Também foram avaliadas quatro concentrações da solução resultante da ligação dos adaptadores: solução sem diluição; diluída 1:5; 1:10 e 1:20 e duas diluições após a reação de pré-amplificação, de 1:25 e 1:50. Como resultado, foi estabelecido como melhor protocolo, no qual foi obtido um maior número e qualidade de fragmentos, o que utiliza a concentração inicial de DNA genômico de 100 ng, num volume final de reação de digestão 10 ?l, com 1U de cada enzima EcoRI e MseI e tempo de reação de 12h a 37°C, com reação de ligação de adaptadores realizada com a adição da solução de ligação de adaptadores, do Kit AFLP? Analysis System I (InvitroGen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, Calif., USA), e 0,4 U de T4 DNA ligase em um volume final de 10?l, por 2h a 20°C. Após a ligação de adaptadores a diluição deverá ser de 1:5. A reação de pré-amplificação deverá ocorrer a partir de 1?l desta última solução (diluída 1:5), 1,0 X PCR buffer com Mg Plus [Tris-HCl (pH 7.6) 20 mM, MgCl2 1,5 mM, KCl 50 mM], BSA 0,003% e 1 U de Taq DNA polimerase, completando com mix de pré-amplificação do Kit AFLP? Analysis System I até alcançar o volume final de 11?l. O produto da pré-amplificação deverá ser diluído 1:25 antes de ser procedida à amplificação seletiva, a qual deve ser realizada utilizando 2,5 ?l da solução de DNA pré-amplificado (diluído 1:25), 1 X PCR buffer com Mg Plus [Tris-HCl (pH 8,4) 20 mM, MgCl2 1,5 mM, KCl 50 mM], BSA (0,003%), 1 U de Taq DNA polimerase, 10 ng de primer EcoRI, 1,5 ng de primer MseI, 0,4mM de DNTps e H2O MilliQ? até completar o volume final de 10?l. Com este protocolo uma única combinação de primers permitiu identificar 58 bandas polimórficas na análise de duas populações de azevém anual.

Círculo de hospedeiras de isolados de Verticillium dahliae obtidos de tomteiro, quiabeiro e morangueiro.

O gênero Verticillium apresenta duas importantes espécies de fitopatógenos (V. dahliae e V. albo-atrum). A capacidade de produção de microescleródios dos isolados de V. dahliae em cultura tem sido empregada como a principal característica para distinção destas duas espécies. Verticillium dahliae é um fungo bastante polífago, amplamente disseminado no território brasileiro, causando murcha vascular em tomate, berinjela, jiló, algodão, morango, cacau, quiabo, dentre outras hospedeiras. Verticillium dahliae apresenta especialização fisiológica em tomateiro tendo sido descritas duas raças. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo investigar a capacidade de isolados de V. dahliae em infectar e causar doença em plantas de diversas famílias botânicas. Para avaliação da gama de hospedeiros, quatro isolados do fungo foram inoculados em 62 acessos de 54 espécies em 40 gêneros e 18 famílias botânicas. A maioria dos acessos mostrou-se susceptível ao patógeno. Foram classificadas como plantas não-hospedeiras todas as gramíneas avaliadas, as solanáceas Datura stramonium, Nicandra physaloides e Physalis ?oridana, couve-flor (linhagem CNPH-003), melancia (cv. Crimson Sweet), melão (cv. Eldorado 300) alface (cvs. Regina e Robinson), cenoura, feijão, soja-verde, beterraba, maracujá azedo (Passi?ora edulis), capuchinha (Trapaeolum majus) e cariru (Talinum triangulare). Foram identificadas 27 novas hospedeiras experimentais de V. dahliae.

Virtual Visual Hulls: Example-Based 3D Shape Estimation from a Single Silhouette

Recovering a volumetric model of a person, car, or other object of interest from a single snapshot would be useful for many computer graphics applications. 3D model estimation in general is hard, and currently requires active sensors, multiple views, or integration over time. For a known object class, however, 3D shape can be successfully inferred from a single snapshot. We present a method for generating a ``virtual visual hull''-- an estimate of the 3D shape of an object from a known class, given a single silhouette observed from an unknown viewpoint. For a given class, a large database of multi-view silhouette examples from calibrated, though possibly varied, camera rigs are collected. To infer a novel single view input silhouette's virtual visual hull, we search for 3D shapes in the database which are most consistent with the observed contour. The input is matched to component single views of the multi-view training examples. A set of viewpoint-aligned virtual views are generated from the visual hulls corresponding to these examples. The 3D shape estimate for the input is then found by interpolating between the contours of these aligned views. When the underlying shape is ambiguous given a single view silhouette, we produce multiple visual hull hypotheses; if a sequence of input images is available, a dynamic programming approach is applied to find the maximum likelihood path through the feasible hypotheses over time. We show results of our algorithm on real and synthetic images of people.

Bacteremic pneumonia before and after withdrawal of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine from a public vaccination program in Spain: a case-control study

The objective of this study is to compare the incidence and epidemiology of bacteremic community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the setting of changes in 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) coverage. In the region of Madrid, universal immunization with the PCV13 started in May 2010. In July 2012, public funding ceased. Vaccination coverage decreased from >95% to 82% in 2013 and to 67% in 2014. We performed a multicenter surveillance and case-control study from 2009-2014. Cases were hospitalized children with bacteremic CAP. Controls were children selected 1:1 from next-admitted with negative blood cultures and typical, presumed bacterial CAP. Annual incidence of bacteremic CAP declined from 7.9/100 000 children (95% CI 5.1-11.1) in 2009 to 2.1/100 000 children (95% CI 1.1-4.1) in 2012. In 2014, 2 years after PCV13 was withdrawn from the universal vaccination program, the incidence of bacteremic CAP increased to 5.4/100 000 children (95% CI 3.5-8.4). We enrolled 113 cases and 113 controls. Streptococcus pneumoniae caused most of bloodstream infections (78%). Empyema was associated with bacteremia (P = .003, OR 3.6; 95% CI 1.4-8.9). Simple parapneumonic effusion was not associated with bacteremia. Incomplete PCV immunization was not a risk factor for bacteremic pneumonia.

The impact of short duration, high intensity exercise on cardiac troponin release

The aim of this study was to assess the appearance of cardiac troponins (cTnI and/or cTnT) after a short bout (30 s) of ‘all-out’ intense exercise and to determine the stability of any exercise-related cTnI release in response to repeated bouts of high intensity exercise separated by 7 days recovery. Eighteen apparently healthy, physically active, male university students completed two all-out 30 s cycle sprint, separated by 7 days. cTnI, blood lactate and catecholamine concentrations were measured before, immediately after and 24 h after each bout. Cycle performance, heart rate and blood pressure responses to exercise were also recorded. Cycle performance was modestly elevated in the second trial [6·5% increase in peak power output (PPO)]; there was no difference in the cardiovascular, lactate or catecholamine response to the two cycle trials. cTnI was not significantly elevated from baseline through recovery (Trial 1: 0·06 ± 0·04 ng ml−1, 0·05 ± 0·04 ng ml−1, 0·03 ± 0·02 ng ml−1; Trial 2: 0·02 ± 0·04 ng ml−1, 0·04 ± 0·03 ng ml−1, 0·05 ± 0·06 ng ml−1) in either trial. Very small within subject changes were not significantly correlated between the two trials (r = 0·06; P>0·05). Subsequently, short duration, high intensity exercise does not elicit a clinically relevant response in cTnI and any small alterations likely reflect the underlying biological variability of cTnI measurement within the participants.
