O trabalho foi desenvolvido na U.P.A. “Senador Álvaro Adolpho”, Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, Belém, Pará (1º25¢ S 48º26¢ O), local de tipo climático Afi (quente e úmido). O objetivo foi avaliar o uso de sistemas silvipastoris (SSP) como ferramenta de manejo para proporcionar maior conforto térmico a búfalas leiteiras, e incrementar sua eficiência reprodutiva após a utilização da inseminação artificial em tempo fixo. Foram utilizados dois SSP´s, durante dois períodos do ano, onde: Período 1 (Abril a Junho), com maior precipitação pluviométrica e Período 2 (Setembro a Novembro), com menor precipitação pluviométrica. Foram mensuradas a freqüência cardíaca (FC), freqüência respiratória (FR), temperatura retal (TR) e movimentos ruminais (MR), sempre às 9h00min. O índice de conforto animal foi calculado conforme a fórmula: ICA = TR/38,33 + FR/23. Os animais de cada sistema foram tratados com dois diferentes protocolos para sincronização do estro e ovulação, formando os Grupos SSP 1/Ovsynch, SSP 2/Ovsynch (estro sincronizado com Ovsynch), SSP 1/Prog e SSP 2/Prog (estro sincronizado com Ovsynch + 1g de progesterona intravaginal). Os ovários de todas as búfalas foram monitorados por ultra-sonografia no D0, D7 e D9 e as búfalas foram inseminadas no D10 (D0=dia do início da sincronização). As médias de FC foram de 57,35±8,24 bat/min no Período 1 e 62,48 ±7,79 bat/min no Período 2 (P<0,01). A FR média foi de 25,66 ±10,53 mov/min no Período 1 e de 33,38 ±18,23 mov/min no Período 2 (P<0,01). Os animais mantidos no SSP 1 apresentaram TR superior aos do SSP 2 (39,02 ±0,53ºC versus 38,65 ±0,41ºC, P<0,01). As médias do ICA variaram entre 1,89 e 3,55. No Período 1 obteve-se variação de 1,89 a 2,42 e média de 2,12 ±0,46. No Período 2, a média do ICA foi de 2,46 ±0,79, com variação de 1,91 a 3,55. Houve diferença significativa das médias de ICA entre os períodos (P<0,01). O diâmetro do folículo dominante no D9 foi superior para os animais que receberam progesterona (10,40 ±1,22 mm versus 12,21 ±3,42 mm; P=0,05). A taxa de prenhez total foi de 48,21%, sendo que no Período 1 houve 56,66% de fêmeas gestantes, contra 38,46% no Período 2 (SSP1/Ovsynch: 40,0%; SSP2/Ovsynch: 38,46%; SSP1/Prog: 46,66% e SSP2/Prog: 69,23%; P>0,05). Com base nos resultados, ressalta-se a importância do manejo do ambiente físico para a criação de bubalinos na Amazônia Oriental, o que pode evitar gastos energéticos para a termorregulação animal e possibilitar melhores índices reprodutivos.

Background: To establish the best methodology for diagnosis and management of patients with solid and complex renal masses by comparing the costs and benefits of different imaging methods and to improve differential diagnosis of these benign and malignant lesions, particularly by investigating tumour calcifications. Methods: We performed a prospective study on 31 patients with solid or complex masses by submitting them to Abdominal Ultrasonography (US), Doppler Ultrasonography of the renal mass (US Dop), Computed Tomography (CT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Results: We found 28 patients with malignant and three with benign masses. Of the 28 malignant, 17 showed calcifications at CT; 16 central and one was of the pure peripheral curvilinear type (egg shell). Excretory Urography (IVP) had a significantly lower detection rate for central calcifications than both US and CT. Benign and malignant masses appeared as described in literature, with US, CT and MRI showing high sensitivity and specificity in renal tumor diagnosis. The exception was US Dop where we obtained lower sensitivity for the characterization of malignant tumor flow. Conclusions: In this series we were surprised to find that CT revealed central calcifications in 51.6% of patients, all with malignant lesions, while, literature reports a frequency of calcification in renal cell carcinoma between 8 and 22%, in studies using abdominal films and EU (IVP). This finding is of great importance when we consider that these calcifications occur particularly in malignant neoplasms. As a result of comparing these different imaging methods we have developed a better methodology for renal tumor investigation.

In this study, the influence of pH on interfacial energy distributed over the phospholipids-bilayer surface model and the effect of hydrophobicity on coefficient of friction (f) were investigated by using microelectrophoresis. An important clinical implication of deficiency in hydrophobicity is the loss of phospholipids that is readily observed in osteoarthritis joints. This paper establishes the influence of pH on interfacial energy upon an increase f, which might be associated with a decrease of hydrophobicity of the articular surface.

The use of ultra-thin films as dressings for cutaneous wounds could prove advantageous in terms of better conformity to wound topography and improved vapour transmission. For this purpose, ultra-thin poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) films of 5-15 microm thickness were fabricated via a biaxial stretching technique. To evaluate their in vivo biocompatibility and feasibility as an external wound dressing, PCL films were applied over full and partial-thickness wounds in rat and pig models. Different groups of PCL films were used: untreated, NaOH-treated, untreated with fibrin, NaOH-treated with perforations, and NaOH-treated with fibrin and S-nitrosoglutathione. Wounds with no external dressings were used as controls. Wound contraction rate, histology and biomechanical analyses were carried out. Wounds re-epithelialized completely at a comparable rate. Formation of a neo-dermal layer and re-epithelialization were observed in all the wounds. A lower level of fibrosis was observed when PCL films were used, compared to the control wounds. Ultimate tensile strength of the regenerated tissue in rats reached 50-60% of that in native rat skin. Results indicated that biaxially-stretched PCL films did not induce inflammatory reactions when used in vivo as a wound dressing and supported the normal wound healing process in full and partial-thickness wounds.
