¿Existen diferencias entre la Fibromialgia, el Síndrome de Fatiga Crónica y la Sensibilidad Química Múltiple en Cataluña y el resto de España?

"Observando las sentencias recogidas en los medios de comunicación sobre la incapacitación laboral en pacientes con Fibromialgia, Síndrome de Fatiga Crónica o Sensibilidad Química Múltiple advertimos que dichas sentencias proceden con más frecuencia de los tribunales judiciales de Cataluña. Analizar las desigualdades territoriales en materia de incapacidad laboral y tomar las medidas correctoras adecuadas debe ser uno de los objetivos principales de las autoridades sanitarias, del Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social, así como de los jueces y magistrados. En este trabajo estudiamos las variables que pueden influir en estas diferencias".

Pérdida de tolerancia inmune en la etiología de las úlceras aftosas recidivantes (RAU) de la mucosa oral: la ruptura de la tolerancia inmunológica causaría injuria persistente en la mucosa bucal provocando las úlceras aftosas recurrentes (2ª parte)

Se ha realizado una revisión de teorías de pérdida de tolerancia inmune publicadas tratando de encontrar aquellos conceptos modernos. Las mismas se refieren a la predisposición genética, influencia de la epigenética en la modelación de un fenotipo vulnerable, las hipótesis de higiene y de microbiota, síndrome de sensibilidad química múltiple, stress crónico, cortisol, el eje hipófisis, hipotálamo y páncreas, óxido nítrico, ataque a la membrana celular, e injuria por reperfusión. Aplicando los principios básicos de las teorías consultadas se demuestra la pérdida de homeostasis, general o parcial, que podría llegar a explicar tres características fundamentales de las úlceras recurrentes orales: dolor, vulnerabilidad y recurrencia.

Polímeros biomiméticos em química analítica. Parte 1: preparo e aplicações de MIP (Molecularly Imprinted Polymers) em técnicas de extração e separação

MIPs are synthetic polymers that are used as biomimetic materials simulating the mechanism verified in natural entities such as antibodies and enzymes. Although MIPs have been successfully used as an outstanding tool for enhancing the selectivity or different analytical approaches, such as separation science and electrochemical and optical sensors, several parameters must be optimized during their synthesis. Therefore, the state-of-the-art of MIP production as well as the different polymerization methods are discussed. The potential selectivity of MIPs in the extraction and separation techniques focusing mainly on environmental, clinical and pharmaceutical samples as applications for analytical purposes is presented.

It is worth mentioning that this method is faster than others reported in the literature. It was applied in laboratory classes for undergraduate students, exploring different concepts in organometallic chemistry and discussing the steps involved in the synthetic route.

Síntese de complexo ferro(II)-nitrogênio: abordagem dos conceitos de reatividade e retro-doação para alunos de graduação em química

There has been a considerable interest in coordination complexes of molecular nitrogen (N2), partly due to a possible relationship between such complexes and the nitrogen activation process in nature. The present paper describes the synthesis and infrared spectroscopic characterization of an iron-nitrogen derivative with ethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate (edta) as an experiment for an undergraduate course. The topics covered here include synthesis, reactivity and spectroscopy.

Interesterificação química: alternativa para obtenção de gorduras zero trans

The function of lipids in human nutrition has been intensively debated in the last decade.This context reinforces the concern about controlling the trans fat ingestion, due to its negative implications on health. Interesterification provides an important alternative to modify the consistency of oils and fats without causing formation of trans isomers. This article reports research done towards production of zero trans fats by chemical interesterification, for different industrial purposes. Aspects related to the effect of trans fats on diet, their impact on health and modifications in Brazilian legislation are also covered.

A importância das revistas Química Nova e Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society no crescimento da área de química no Brasil

Quimica Nova and the Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society are two examples of successful initiatives taken by the Brazilian Chemical Society (SBQ - Sociedade Brasileira de Química), and may serve as models for the scientific societies of developing countries. Pillars of the SBQ, these two periodicals are undeniable demonstrations that idealism, utopia and dignity are the essential ingredients for transforming dreams into reality. Few believed that the Brazilian chemical community would one day have, as it does today, two scientific research periodicals indexed in the principal international data banks.
