Biofiltração da água e tipos de substrato na larvicultura do pacamã

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o uso de diferentes biofiltros e substratos na qualidade da água e no desempenho de larvas de Lophiosilurus alexandri. Os tratamentos usados foram: sistema sem biofiltro (SB); biofiltro interno ao tanque com substrato de cascalho de diâmetro médio de 1,6 cm (CMe); biofiltro interno ao tanque com cascalho de diâmetro médio de 2,1 cm (CMa); biofiltro interno ao tanque com substrato constituído de uma mistura de 70% de brita (diâmetro médio de 1,3 cm) e 30% de concha (diâmetro médio de 1,1 cm) (CB); e sistema fechado (SF) com biofiltro externo aos tanques, com substrato de brita e concha. O experimento foi realizado em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com cinco tratamentos e cinco repetições, durante 16 dias. Para íon amônio, nitrito, nitrato e ortofosfato, houve interação entre sistemas x dias de cultivo. Os sistemas SF, CMe e CB registraram menores concentrações de íon amônio e nitrito; o sistema SB, maiores concentrações de íon amônio e menores concentrações de nitrato; o SF, concentrações de ortofosfato superiores. A sobrevivência de L. alexandri foi inferior no SF. O crescimento não foi afetado pelos diferentes sistemas. Os biofiltros melhoraram a qualidade da água quanto aos compostos nitrogenados emfunção do tipo de substrato.

Maternal and Child Health Services Title V Block Grant State Narrative for Iowa Application for 2015 Annual Report for 2013, September 21, 2014

Key factors that provide context for the state's Maternal and Child Health (MCH) annual report and state plan are highlighted in this overview. This section briefly outlines Iowa's demographics, population changes, economic indicators and significant public initiatives. Major strategic planning efforts affecting development of program activities are also identified.

Iowa’s Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Annual Report, 2014

Title V of the Social Security Act is the longest-standing public health legislation in American history. Enacted in 1935, Title V is a federal-state partnership that promotes and improves maternal and child health (MCH). According to each state’s unique needs, Title V supports a spectrum of services, from infrastructure building services like quality assurance and policy development, to gap-filling direct health care services. Title V resources are directed towards MCH priority populations: pregnant women, mothers, infants, women of reproductive years, children and adolescents and children and youth with special health care needs.

Enrichment of human CD4+ V(alpha)24/Vbeta11 invariant NKT cells in intrahepatic malignant tumors.

Invariant NKT cells (iNKT cells) recognize glycolipid Ags via an invariant TCR alpha-chain and play a central role in various immune responses. Although human CD4(+) and CD4(-) iNKT cell subsets both produce Th1 cytokines, the CD4(+) subset displays an enhanced ability to secrete Th2 cytokines and shows regulatory activity. We performed an ex vivo analysis of blood, liver, and tumor iNKT cells from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and metastases from uveal melanoma or colon carcinoma. Frequencies of Valpha24/Vbeta11 iNKT cells were increased in tumors, especially in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. The proportions of CD4(+), double negative, and CD8alpha(+) iNKT cell subsets in the blood of patients were similar to those of healthy donors. However, we consistently found that the proportion of CD4(+) iNKT cells increased gradually from blood to liver to tumor. Furthermore, CD4(+) iNKT cell clones generated from healthy donors were functionally distinct from their CD4(-) counterparts, exhibiting higher Th2 cytokine production and lower cytolytic activity. Thus, in the tumor microenvironment the iNKT cell repertoire is modified by the enrichment of CD4(+) iNKT cells, a subset able to generate Th2 cytokines that can inhibit the expansion of tumor Ag-specific CD8(+) T cells. Because CD4(+) iNKT cells appear inefficient in tumor defense and may even favor tumor growth and recurrence, novel iNKT-targeted therapies should restore CD4(-) iNKT cells at the tumor site and specifically induce Th1 cytokine production from all iNKT cell subsets.
