OBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo é demonstrar a importância da enterografia por tomografia computadorizada (entero-TC) e como este exame pode contribuir na elucidação diagnóstica e avaliação clínica de pacientes com doenças do intestino delgado. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Análise retrospectiva de 35 pacientes submetidos a entero-TC realizadas em aparelho multidetector de 16 canais, entre maio de 2008 e março de 2009. Utilizou-se meio de contraste iodado venoso e oral neutro (polietilenoglicol). As principais indicações foram avaliação de doença de Crohn, diarreia de origem indeterminada e suspeita de neoplasias. RESULTADOS: Houve boa correlação dos achados à entero-TC relacionados à atividade da doença em pacientes com doença de Crohn, quando comparados com dados clínicos, laboratoriais e endoscópicos. Em 15 casos identificaram-se alterações compatíveis com doença de Crohn, 9 deles sugerindo atividade. Dos pacientes com diarreia, o exame elucidou a maioria dos casos. Identificaram-se dois casos de tumor carcinoide. CONCLUSÃO: A entero-TC é método simples e eficaz para estudo das doenças inflamatórias/neoplásicas do intestino delgado, sobretudo na avaliação da doença de Crohn, indicando atividade da doença. Uma de suas principais vantagens é a possibilidade de avaliação de alterações mesentéricas e extraintestinais associadas.

Paracelsus (1493 - 1541) developed a theory about three principles (sulphur, mercury, and salt) that would constitute matter, and whose mutual interactions within man's body could cause diseases. This paper discusses the influence of this theory on the work of two chemical philosophers. Oswald Crollius (1560 - 1609) considered that the conceptions of matter and disease were strongly related because of the macro - microcosm analogy, and classified diseases in sulphurean, mercurial and saline. On the other hand, J. B. Van Helmont (1579 - 1644) stated that sulphur, mercury, and salt were not true principles, and that every disease would have a specific origin. Instead of the principles, Van Helmont put the Archeus at the center of both his medical and matter theories.

Introducció: Els cigarrets electrònics estan dissenyats per alliberar una solució líquida que conté substàncies químiques i nicotina o altres aromes mitjançant vaporització, i imiten l'estètica de la cigarreta convencional. Van ser dissenyats com a substituts del tabac per poder fumar sense córrer el risc de patir els efectes nocius d'aquest consum. El coneixement sobre aquests productes és molt escàs, i la seva comercialització i ús està creant gran controvèrsia en salut pública a causa dels interrogants sobre els possibles riscos per a la salut dels seus usuaris i no usuaris, la seva eficàcia per a la deshabituació tabàquica, i les possibles interferències del seu ús amb les activitats de control del tabac existents i l'aplicació del CMCT de l'OMS. Segons estudis, l'ús d'aquests dispositius s'ha expandit ràpidament, encara que de moment, no s'ha aconseguit definir un patró d'usuaris de cigarrets/cigarros electrònics ni del seu ús. Objectius: definir el patró sociodemogràfic dels usuaris de cigarrets electrònics i del seu ús en el grup poblacional estudiat, i analitzar la relació entre la dependència a la nicotina i el consum tabàquic amb l'ús d'aquests dispositius. Metodologia: consta de dues fases diferenciades però alhora complementàries constituint un estudi mixt, amb una primera fase quantitativa, en la qual es desenvoluparà un estudi observacional transversal, i una segona fase qualitativa, en la qual es desenvoluparà un estudi de tall etnogràfic. La primera fase, consta d'una primera etapa per reclutar els participants de l'estudi a través dels establiments registrats a la Cambra de Comerç de Barcelona i se'ls administrarà dos qüestionaris sobre les característiques sociodemogràfiques i el consum de tabac i l'ús dels cigarrets electrònics. En la segona etapa es recontactarà amb els participants fumadors i exfumadors per omplir un qüestionari sobre la dependència a la nicotina i al tabac previ a la utilització d'aquests dispositius i actual. A la segona fase, es realitzaran entrevistes en profunditat i es crearà un diari de camp per conèixer els motius pels que utilitzen aquests dispositius i la percepció que tenen sobre ells i el seu ús.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the interactions that occur in binary and ternary fat blends between medium and long chain triacylglycerols and their structured lipids obtained by chemical interesterification through the analysis of their physico-chemical properties. The synthesized structured triacylglycerols presented from 14.8 to 58.4% medium chain fatty acids, from 15.7 to 37.2% saturated fatty acids, from 19.2 to 47.5% monounsaturated fatty acids, and from 6.7 to 15.2% essential fatty acids. Chemical interesterification modified the behavior of binary and ternary mixtures and new types of triacylglycerol groups were formed.

The aim of the present work is to investigate the effects of blending and chemical interesterification reactions on the softening and melting behavior of chicken fat, its stearin and medium chain triacylglycerols, and blends thereof in various ratios. Chemical interesterification is a promising alternative to the current processes of modifying the physical properties of fats. In the experimental design 7 samples corresponding to 7 different blend proportions were used. The results were represented in triangular diagrams. The addition of stearin influenced the softening and melting points. The mixture response surface methodology proved to be an extremely useful tool for the optimization of the fat mixtures.

To study the action of Alcalase and Flavourzyme on the proteins of chicken meat, the influence of the substrate concentration [S], enzyme concentration [E] and hydrolysis time on the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of the proteins was evaluated. The highest DH for breast meat was obtained with a [S] of 3.3% (w/v), with a [E] of 6% (w/w) and reaction time of 90 min, for both enzymes. For thigh meat the conditions to get the highest DH were: [S] of 5% (w/v), [E] of 8% (w/w) and a reaction time of 120 min, for both enzymes.

Chicken meat is largely consumed in human nutrition and it is produced in extremely large scale in some countries, including Brazil. In this work graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry was used for determination of arsenic in chicken and chicken production-related samples. These samples were digested employing a microwave-assisted procedure in closed vessels using a 7 mol L-1 nitric acid solution plus concentrated hydrogen peroxide. The concentration range of total As determined in chicken production-related samples varied from 1.30 to 29.8 mg kg-1 of As. The detection and quantification limits reached were 0.055 and 0.182 mg kg-1, respectively (n = 15).

Docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6, n-3, DHA) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) present in large concentrations in the brain and, due to the presence of six double bonds in its structure, is highly susceptible to oxidation by enzymes and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species. The peroxidation of PUFAs has been implicated in an increasing number of human disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases. Hence, a better understanding of the metabolism pathways of DHA should provide new insights about its role in neurodegenerative diseases. Here we review the main aspects related to DHA metabolism, as well as, the recent findings showing its association with neurodegenerative diseases.

History shows that public health actions to combat epidemics are most effective when there is constant synergy of both government and society, exemplified by prevention actions in the fight against dengue fever, H1N1 influenza etc. Private-public-partnerships (PPP) can also provide more dynamic and consistent results in production through interaction among Government, University and Enterprise actors. This article puts forward proposals to tackle the problem of neglected tropical diseases via the formation of a Management Council using Etzkowitz's Triple Helix concept to attenuate this public health issue in Brazil.

Metals such as copper and zinc are essential for the development and maintenance of numerous enzymatic activities, mitochondrial functions, neurotransmission, and also for memorization and learning. However, disruption in their homeostasis can cause neurodegenerative disorders such as the Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases. In this work, the speciation of copper and zinc in urine samples was carried out. To this end, free and total metal concentrations were determined by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry using a glassy carbon electrode coated with bismuth film. The digestion of the samples was performed in a microwave with the addition of oxidant reagents.

In an article recently published in Química Nova, entitled "Chemistry Without Borders" ("Química Sem Fronteiras") [Pinto, A. C.; Zucco, C.; Galembeck, F.; Andrade, J. B.; Vieira, P. C. Quim. Nova 2012, 35, 2092], the authors highlighted the important aspects of science and technology with special emphasis on the field of Chemistry and its contributions toward a more prosperous Brazil of future. As a second step in that direction, this article extends the discussion of a key issue for the country in the framework of the chemistry community through the so called position papers in strategic areas. This document is a part of the contribution of the Brazilian Chemical Society to the World Science Forum to be held in Rio de Janeiro in November 2013. In this context, the present paper provides a brief discussion on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) with emphasis on the current challenges and opportunities towards the development and evolution of the field. NTDs leads to illness, long-term disability or death, and has severe social, economic and psychological consequences for millions of men, women, and children worldwide. In most cases, the available treatments are inadequate and extremely limited in terms of efficacy and safety, leading to an urgent demand for new drugs. In addition to the traditional challenges involved in any drug discovery process, it is widely recognized that there is an innovation gap and a lack of investment for research and development (R&D) in the area of NTDs. In the last few decades, methods toward combating, eradication, prevention, and treatment of NTDs have been repeatedly emphasized in the major international agendas. Developments in these strategies and alliances have continued to have an essential impact, particularly in the area of drug discovery, both in Brazil and globally and should be encouraged and supported. Several examples of international activities dedicated to the reduction of the devastating global impact of NTDs can be provided. Despite the beneficial developments in the past 30 years, NTDs continue to devastate poor communities in remote and vulnerable areas, in large part, due to market failures and public policies. Recent studies have shown that among 756 new drugs approved between 2000 and 2011, only four new chemical entities (NCEs) were identified for the treatment of malaria, while none were developed against NTDs or tuberculosis. Furthermore, only 1.4% of approximately 150,000 clinical trials were registered for neglected diseases, with a smaller number of trials for NCEs. Establishment and strengthening of global strategies involving the triad "government-academia-industry" is fundamental to the success in R&D of new drugs for NTDs. National and international public-private initiatives that aim to create, encourage, and invest in R&D projects have been implemented and therefore are of utmost importance to successfully integrate Brazil into this new paradigm. It is essential to lay the foundation for mechanisms that will intensify investments in infrastructure, training, and qualification of personnel with an ultimate strategic vision that foresees continuity. Our research group has made significant contributions to the development of this field with the goal of forging new frontiers while tackling both current and future challenges that include indispensable elements such as innovation and integration.

A cultura do pak choi (Brassica chinensis), hortaliça de origem Asiática, foi introduzida no Brasil há dois anos por empresas importadoras de sementes. No estado do Paraná vem se destacando na região de Curitiba, principalmente em condições de cultivo protegido. Realizou-se um levantamento da ocorrência de doenças na cultura na safra 1999/2000. Os experimentos foram conduzidos na Fazenda Escola "Capão da Onça" da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa (UEPG), com a diagnose das doenças sendo realizada nos laboratórios de fitopatologia da UEPG e da ESALQ/USP. As doenças que apresentaram maior intensidade na safra de verão foram a Mancha de Alternaria (Alternaria sp.), a Podridão Mole (Erwinia sp.) e a Ferrugem Branca (Albugo candida). Na safra de outono, a Mancha de Alternaria e a Podridão Mole apresentaram baixa incidência e não se observou a ocorrência de Ferrugem Branca.
