Efeito do uso de diferentes inoculantes microbianos à fresco e liofilizados sobre a silagem de sorgo

Na conservação de alimentos para animais, os inoculantes microbianos são empregados na busca da melhoria do padrão de fermentação de silagens, por meio do estímulo ao desenvolvimento populacional dos microrganismos benéficos deste processo conservativo, como acontece para as bactérias produtoras de ácido lático, em detrimento a inibição dos microrganismos indesejáveis, tais como leveduras e clostrídios. O estudo proposto avaliou o efeito do uso de diferentes inoculantes microbianos à fresco e liofilizados utilizando a cultura do sorgo [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], como matéria-prima para ensilagem, a fim de indicar a possibilidade do emprego de inoculantes microbianos desenvolvidos no nosso país. Foram realizados dois experimentos, em um mesmo silo, Experimento 1 (tratamentos com inoculantes liofilizados, na região superior do silo) e Experimento 2 (tratamentos com inoculantes à fresco, na região inferior do silo), com cinco tratamentos e três repetições por silo, sendo os tratamentos caracterizados como controle (sem inoculante), inoculante microbiano comercial (IC) e distintos inoculantes confeccionados à partir de bactérias láticas isoladas da planta de sorgo: Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paracasei e Lactobacillus rhamnosus. Quando da ensilagem, foram utilizados três silos experimentais de madeira, que foram abertos em distintos períodos, ou seja, 1, 3 e 28 dias após a ensilagem. Foi utilizado o delineamento experimental em parcelas subdivididas no tempo, no qual os três períodos de abertura foram às parcelas e os cinco tratamentos as subparcelas, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado. No experimento 1, os teores de fibra em detergente neutro (FDN) e fibra em detergente ácido (FDA) sofreram efeito dos inoculantes microbianos no 3º e 28º dia de abertura dos silos, obtendo menores valores nos tratamentos IC e LPP (L. plantarum + L. paracasei. No experimento 2, os teores de FDN, apresentaram efeito no 28º dia de abertura do silo, demonstrando que os tratamentos IC e LPP diferiram entre si, sendo estatisticamente iguais aos demais. A combinação dos isolados microbianos liofilizados de L. plantarum e L. paracasei mostrou potencial para uso prático, pois foi tão efetivo quanto o tratamento IC.

Prevention of repeated episodes of type 2 reaction of leprosy with the use of thalidomide 100 mg/day

BACKGROUND: Leprosy can have its course interrupted by type 1 and 2 reactional episodes, the last named of erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL). Thalidomide has been the medication of choice for the control of ENL episodes since 1965. OBJECTIVES: These episodes can repeat and cause damages to the patient. In order to prevent these episodes, an extra dose of 100 mg/day thalidomide was used during six months, followed by a follow-up period of six more months after thalidomide discontinuation. METHODS: We included 42 patients with multibacillary (MB) leprosy who had episodes of ENL. They were male and female patients aged between 18 and 84 years. RESULTS: Of the 42 patients, 39 (92.85%) had the lepromatous form and three (7.15%) had the borderline form. We found that 100% of patients had no reactional episode during the use of the drug. During the follow-up period after thalidomide discontinuation, 33 (78.57%) patients had no reactional episode and nine (21.43%), all of them with the lepromatous form, had mild episodes, which were controlled using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. There were no thalidomide-related side effects. CONCLUSION: A maintenance dose of 100 mg/day of thalidomide showed to be effective to prevent repeated type 2 reactional episodes of ENL.

Preschool children and excess weight: the impact of a low complexity intervention in public day care centers

Introduction: childhood obesity is a major public health problem, affecting children even at early ages. Objective: to assess the impact of dietary intervention and relatively simple physical activity on the nutritional state of preschoolers. Method: this was an intervention study in public daycare centers targeting children from 2 to 4 years of age, in the State of São Paulo. The sample consisted of 9 daycare centers covering 578 children, with 264 children in the intervention group (IG) and 314 in the comparison group (CG). Intervention was focused on modifications in diet and physical activity, avoiding overloading the routine of daycare centers, for duration of one year. A zBMI score > 1 (zBMI) and < 2 was considered risk of being overweight, and > 2 zBMI was considered excess weight (overweight and obese). Analysis was done by frequency calculations, comparisons of proportions by χ2, mean comparisons by t-student and calculations according to Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results: IG showed an inverse correlation between the initial zBMI of the children and the difference with the zBMI at the end of the intervention (rP = -0.39, p <0.0001). The mean difference of zBMI of the overweight children in IG between the beginning and the end of the study period was negative (-0.46 z score), indicating weight reduction, while the children in the CG was positive (+0. 17 z score) (p = 0.0037). Conclusion: intervention in diet and physical activity in overweight preschool children in daycare centers could have a favorable impact on the evolution of their nutritional state.

O palco dos excluídos: os bastidores e personagens do Albergue Noturno de Bauru

The “Albergue Noturno de Bauru” (Night Shelter of Bauru) is a social assistance entity mantained by the “Centro Espírita Amor e Caridade (CEAC)” in partnership with the “Secretaria do Bem Estar Social (SEBES)”, that aims to temporarily shelter migrants in town and people in homeless situation. Every day, about 50 people look for the Shelter, because of several reasons. Opened in 1951, the entity – the only public service that offers overnight stay in town - surpassed social transformations over the years and never stopped its work. With the opening of its new headquarters in July 2011, it also began to develop a systematic monitoring of some sheltered people, looking for the reintegration of them into the social context. All this work has made the Night Shelter accumulate many stories, especially from those people who have gone through or are still in it. Thus, this paper aims to present, through a non-fiction novel, this scenario, exposing the history and functioning of the Bauru Night Shelter, while exposing the lives of different people who are part of this universe. Through the monitoring of several night shifts, narrated in diary format, it was possible to understand how the service started, the dilemmas involved in their development and how sheltered and volunteers build this reality.

Avaliação da exposição ao propionato de testosterona em ratas fêmeas in utero e lactação

It is known that exposure to substances in the environment can contribute to various reproductive disorders, especially if such exposure occurs during critical periods of development such as the intra-uterine and postnatal. The female reproductive system may be the target of androgens, both as a result of exposure to environmental chemicals, or by pathological conditions (polycystic ovary syndrome or congenital adrenal hyperplasia).Usually, little attention is given off in relation to the study of androgenic effects in the female reproductive axis. This study aims to evaluate the effects of exposure to androgens on the development, structure and reproductive function in rats whose mothers were exposed to testosterone propionate from gestational day 12 (DG12) after weaning - postnatal day 21 (DPN21) . For this purpose, pregnancy rats were divided into four groups: a control group that received corn oil (vehicle) and three groups receiving testosterone propionate in doses of 0.05 mg / kg / day, 0.1 mg / kg / day and 0.2 mg / kg / day, all under the same experimental conditions. The possible effects of exposure were assessed using reproductive parameters, such as a measure of anogenital distance, count areolas / nipples, age at vaginal opening and first estrus (puberty indicative installation), weight and histological evaluation of the reproductive organs ( uterus and ovaries), weight of the kidneys, liver and pituitary hormone levels, regularity of the estrous cycle, sexual behavior and fertility. Such analysis is important in understanding the effects of androgen exposure on the female genital system, especially on the reproductive potential, and processes that may involve morphofunctional changes. In these experimental conditions, it is concluded that treatment with PT caused reduction in body weight and initial masculinization in females without cubs, however, commit further sexual development
