O Programa de Melhoramento Genético de Citros da Embrapa Mandioca e Fruticultura vem gerando híbridos para utilização como porta-enxertos, que necessitam ser avaliados em relação ao comportamento frente à infecção natural por isolados locais de Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) e à presença de sintomas de descamamento eruptivo (BahiaBarkScaling disease - BBS). Este trabalho apresenta resultados da avaliação do comportamento de 141 híbridos (sob a forma de pés-francos ou enxertados) estabelecidos na área experimental da Embrapa Mandioca e Fruticultura, no Recôncavo Sul da Bahia. Foram avaliadas a presença e a severidade de sintomas de caneluras e descamamento por meio de escala de notas. Para detectar a presença do CTV, foi utilizado o método sorológico de ELISA indireto e RT-PCR. Os híbridos avaliados foram classificados como imunes, tolerantes e intolerantes ao CTV. A maioria dos híbridos que apresentaram sintomas de BBS tem uma tangerineira como parental.

OBJETIVO: A radiografia do tórax continua sendo um dos métodos diagnósticos mais solicitados, mas muitos exames seriam evitados se determinados critérios fossem priorizados no momento da requisição. Este trabalho propôs-se a estudar se a qualidade do exame clínico, representado pela realização do exame físico, está associada à presença de anormalidades com significado clínico na radiografia torácica. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Neste estudo transversal foram estudados 142 pacientes atendidos em ambulatórios de hospital universitário (Salvador, BA) e com pedido de radiografia do tórax. RESULTADOS: Menos da metade (46,5%) das radiografias apresentou alterações clinicamente significantes. Pacientes com 50 ou mais anos de idade apresentaram prevalência (P) 2,8 vezes maior de mostrar anormalidades nas radiografias torácicas, semelhante (P = 2,7) àqueles provenientes de ambulatórios das clínicas cardio-pneumológica e médica ou que estavam com algum tipo de tratamento referente à sua doença atual (P = 2,0). Entretanto, a variável que classificou a qualidade do atendimento médico não se mostrou associada à anormalidade na radiografia torácica, assim como a finalidade da solicitação e tipo de queixa referido pelo paciente. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados observados indicam a necessidade de estudos, com outras abordagens metodológicas, para melhor esclarecer o impacto na solicitação da radiografia do tórax, da história clínica e exame físico acurados.

This work describes the mechanism of action of some reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in the oxidative stress of the human body, and their consequences on damage to DNA, RNA, proteins and lipids. It also illustrates the defense system of our organism against these ROS and RNS species. The action of nonenzymatic protection systems is reported, with emphasis on micromolecules like Q10 coenzyme, vitamin C, alpha-tocopherol, carotenoids and flavonoids. The importance of flavonoids is also emphasized, and their body protection mechanism is detailed.

In this work, seven samples of humic acids extracted from gleysoils were investigated. These studies, using NMR CP/MAS 13C techniques, did not show significant correlation between the E4/E6 ratio and the degree of aromaticity. However, dipolar dephasing (DD) measurements of condensed aromatic or substituted carbons showed a negative correlation of 0.94. Also, there was a good correlation between the amount of semiquinone free radicals measured by the EPR technique and condensed aromatic rings measured by NMR CP/MAS 13C with the DD technique. The content of semiquinone free radicals was quantified by EPR spectroscopy and was correlated with the humification (degree of aromaticity) of the humic substances. The results indicated that the E4/E6 ratio identifies the degree of aromatic rings condensation. It was also found that the degree of aromaticity, measured by NMR, as frequently presented in the literature (by conventional CP/MAS), underestimates aromatic rings in condensed structures.

Hydrogen-bonded complexes formed by the interaction of the heterocyclic molecules C2H4O and C2H5N with HF, HCN, HNC and C2H2 have been studied using density functional theory. The hydrogen bond strength has been analyzed through electron density charge transfer from the proton acceptor to the proton donor. The density charge transfer has been estimated using different methods such as Mulliken population analysis, CHELPG, GAPT and AIM. It has been shown that AIM-estimated charge transfer correlates very well with the hydrogen bond energy and the infrared bathochromic effect of the proton donor stretching frequencies.

The copper and cadmium complexation properties in natural sediment suspensions of reservoirs of the Tietê River were studied using the solid membrane copper and cadmium ion-selective electrodes. The complexation and the average conditional stability constants were determined under equilibrium conditions at pH=6.00 ± 0.05 in a medium of 1.0 mol L-1 sodium nitrate, using the Scatchard method. The copper and cadmium electrodes presented Nernstian behavior from 1x10-6 to 1x10-3 mol L-1 of total metal concentration. Scatchard graphs suggest two classes of binding sites for both metals. A multivariate study was done to correlate the reservoirs and the variables: complexation properties, size, total organic carbon, volatile acid sulfide, E II and pH.

The chemical role of iron-bearing compounds on the dynamics of phosphorus in selected Brazilian latosols was investigated. The iron oxides were characterized in an attempt to assess their main chemical-mineralogical properties influencing the ion sorption mechanisms in those pedosystems. It was found that increasing total iron contents tend to increase the phosphorus adsorption capacity in the selected soils. 110 K-Mössbauer data reveal that the dominant iron oxides are hematite and goethite. Particularly for the yellower soil samples some prominent doublets, more certainly due to superparamagnetic relaxation, may be assigned to corresponding fractions of relatively small-sized particles.

The De Broglie's relation was a fundamental step in the development of a wave nature for matter. Therefore, we have examined it from the perspective of the new atomic theory. This relation makes successful predictions of the stable energy levels for electrons orbiting a nucleus. The formulation of the de Broglie's relation is a fundamental application of the theory of wave-particle duality for a material particle. In this work, the direct demonstration employing the equations E = mc² and E = hcλ, was avoided. We provide a complete analysis of this relation considering features of the special theory of relativity.

The use of analytical pyrolysis combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) to determine the syringyl/guaiacyl ratio (S/G) in lignins from Eucalyptus spp woods was investigated. Sample of E. grandis and "E. urograndis" wood, with and without extractives, were subjected to pyrolysis from 300 ºC to 600 ºC. The products that results from pyrolysis were identified by mass spectrometry and the S/G ratio was determined based on the areas of the peaks corresponding to the guaiacyl and syringyl derivatives. The best S/G estimation is achieved when pyrolysis is carried out at 550 ºC. Extractives and carbohydrate present in the woods do not interfere with the results.

Multidrug resistance, MDR is a major obstacle for cancer chemotherapy. MDR can be reversed by drugs that vary in their chemical structure and main biological activity. Many efforts have been done to overcome MDR based on studies of structure-activity relationships and in this review we summarize some aspects of MDR mediated by P-glycoprotein (P-gp), as the most experimentally and clinically tested form of drug resistance. The most significant MDR mechanisms revealed until now are shortly discussed. Physicochemical and structural properties of MDR modulators, measures of the MDR reversal, and QSAR studies are included.

In light of the theory of relationship with know of Bernard Charlot, aiming to understand the unique stories of the subject through a positive lecture, i.e., understanding the reality and the way the subjects read and interpret the world, this article attempts identify how higher education students solve an investigative case and learn the scientific knowledge using this theory. For this, we used narrative as a discourse genre to collect the data of 34 students who participated in the small group activities. After content analysis, the results showed that all groups of students solve the case in a similar way and in three stages, prevailing relations with know with the world, with others and with yourself. However, even if the resolution is similar, chemical learning differs between different groups and differs between the scientific content present in the case. From these results it is possible to identify the effectiveness of learning depends on the epistemic and identity relationships with know of each subject (relationship with yourself) because to learn the student must enter into an intellectual activity (investigative case), stay on it and develop the relationships with known necessary to master the normativity (chemical language).

Áreas de uma microbacia sem a incidência de doenças causadas por Rhizoctonia solani GA 4 foram agrupadas estatisticamente, pelo método de Ward, com relação à supressividade dos solos ao patógeno, avaliada pela taxa de crescimento micelial. Entre os grupos formados, foi definido um gradiente de supressividade. A relação entre gradientes de supressividade e tipos de cobertura vegetal foi descrita com auxílio da análise de correspondências múltiplas, sendo que, de modo geral, o pasto e o pousio, seguidos da mata, tornaram os solos mais supressivos, ao passo que a cana-de-açúcar (Saccharum officinarum), o milho (Zea mays ), o café (Coffea arabica) e o solo arado tornaram os solos mais conducentes. Porém, os resultados mostraram que outros fatores, além da cobertura vegetal, podem estar afetando a supressividade. Um tratamento biocida (fumigação) dos solos mais supressivos promoveu um maior incremento da taxa de crescimento do patógeno do que o observado com solos mais conducentes.

As características patogênicas, fisiológicas e morfológicas de oito isolados de Pseudocercospora musae foram estudadas objetivando sua diferenciação. Para determinação da patogenicidade, os isolados foram inoculados em folhas de bananeira (Musa spp.) através de dois métodos: com e sem ferimento. Em ambos os casos, foram utilizados discos de micélio (4 mm de diâmetro), retirados de colônias jovens de cada um dos isolados. Maior eficiência na reprodução dos sintomas foi observada no método por ferimento, onde todos os isolados mostraram-se patogênicos, enquanto no sem ferimento, somente os isolados P-2 e P-4 apresentaram habilidade para penetrar e colonizar o tecido hospedeiro. Para a caracterização fisiológica, foi estudado o comportamento dos isolados em seis meios de cultura (BDA, V-8, leite de côco, Czapek, maltose-peptona e aveia) e três níveis de pH (4,5; 5,5 e 6,5), durante o período de incubação de sete dias, a temperatura de 25 °C e em condições de alternância luminosa. Leite de coco, BDA e aveia induziram maior crescimento micelial, enquanto que BDA, maltose-peptona, V-8 e Czapek, maior produção de conídios. Os isolados de P. musae cresceram melhor em pH 4,5 e a esporulação foi favorecida em pH 6,5, destacando-se o isolado P-1 em relação aos demais. As características culturais dos isolados mostraram pequena variação quanto a topografia, coloração e pigmentação da colônia, de acordo com o substrato e pH empregados. A caracterização morfológica revelou variação não significativa no tamanho e na relação comprimento/largura dos isolados de P. musae.
