Identificação química da clorofenilpiperazina (CPP) em comprimidos apreendidos

Designer drug is a term used to describe psychoactive drugs of abuse which are usually synthesized by modifying the molecular structures of existing drugs of abuse. The term gained widespread popularity when MDMA (ecstasy) experienced a popularity boom in the mid 1980´s. In Brazil, designer drugs seizures have increased in the last few years, and actually tablets with unknown psychoactive compounds began to be forwarded to the Forensic Laboratories. This work describes the analytical assays that were performed to identify the chlorophenylpiperazine, a psychoactive substance first time identified in seized tablets in Sao Paulo state.

The mechanisms of inflammation in gout and pseudogout (CPP-induced arthritis).

Recent advances have stimulated new interest in the area of crystal arthritis, as microcrystals can be considered to be endogenous "danger signals" and are potent stimulators of immune as well as non-immune cells. The best known microcrystals include urate (MSU), and calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals, associated with gout and pseudogout, respectively. Acute inflammation is the hallmark of the acute tissue reaction to crystals in both gout and pseudogout. The mechanisms leading to joint inflammation in these diseases involve first crystal formation and subsequent coating with serum proteins. Crystals can then interact with plasma cell membrane, either directly or via membrane receptors, leading to NLRP3 activation, proteolytic cleavage and maturation of pro-interleukin-1β (pro-IL1β) and secretion of mature IL1β. Once released, this cytokine orchestrates a series of events leading to endothelial cell activation and neutrophil recruitment. Ultimately, gout resolution involves several mechanisms including monocyte differentiation into macrophage, clearance of apoptotic neutrophils by macrophages, production of Transforming Growth Factor (TGF-β) and modification of protein coating on the crystal surface. This review will examine these different steps.

La CPP en el context sanitari

Finançament del Nou Hospital Universitari de Son Dureta: Col·laboració público-privadaes un treball de recerca que tracta sobre la financiació d’un hospital respecte a la sevaconstrucció i la posterior explotació.En aquest treball podem trobar dos parts ben diferenciades: la part teòrica i la part practica.En la primera part del treball analitzem com és un contracte de col·laboració públicoprivada(CPP), per després identificar els principals axiomes d’aquests tipus de contractesen el contracte de CPP que s’ha realitzat per la financiació del Nou Hospital de Son Dureta.En la segona part, analitzem la col·laboració publico- privada que s’ha realitzat en aquesthospital concret. S’ha analitzat des de un punt de vista econòmic, polític i social.També s’ha fet una comparació de la col·laboració público-privada envers la col·laboraciótradicional. Les conclusions de la comparació son des de el punt de vista de l’administració,el sector privat i dels usuaris.És realment més eficient, econòmicament parlant, la col·laboració público-privada que lacol·laboració tradicional?La CPP és un recurs que utilitza l’estat per tal de disminuir el deute i sanejar els seuscomptes?Realment es guanya amb qualitat per l’entrada del sector privat en temes d’administraciópública?Qui és el principal beneficiat per la realització d’aquest tipus de col·laboració (sectorpúblic, sector privat, usuaris)?Aquestes són algunes de les hipòtesi que hem intentat anar responent al llarg del treball.

Quince 'CPP': new dwarf rootstock for pear trees on organic and high density planting

In Brazil, pear production presents the same incipient situation over the last 15 years, due mostly to low production technology. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the development, growth and production of the pear tree cultivars Cascatense, Tenra and Hosui grafted on 'CPP' quince rootstock, using 'FT' pear as interstem. This trial was carried out in Guarapuava, State of Paraná, Southern region of Brazil, by five productive cycles. The pear trees were planted in September of 2004, spaced at 1.0 x 4.0 m (2,500 trees ha-1), trained to the modified central leader, on a Four-wire trellis, with drip irrigation and cultivated under organic production system. The following variables were evaluated: sprouting, anthesis, yield, fruit weight, soluble solids content, titratable acidity, pulp firmness, canopy area per plant and per hectare and trunk diameter. The pear tree cv. Tenra was outstanding most of the years for fruit yield, and, consequently, showed the highest accumulated yield over the period (51.6 t ha-1), followed by the cultivars Cascatense (39.7 t ha-1) and Hosui (18.7 t ha-1). All pear cultivars presented suitable physical-chemical characteristics for commercial purposes, with minimal average soluble solids content of 11% at harvest. The maximum canopy area per hectare was attained for cv. Cascatense (3063.2 m²), that was considered insufficient for a high yield. These results suggest the needs for studies with higher density planting and other training systems, searching optimize canopy volume. One of the most limiting factors in the organic pear orchard was the incidence of pear dieback caused by Botriosphaeria dothidea, severe more often in pear trees cv. Hosui.
