Određivanje referentnih vrijednosti citokina i metaloproteinaza matriksa u sinovijalnoj tekućini konja različite dobi

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease in sport horses. Inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a crucial role in the degradation of the cartilage extracellular matrix. The study of inflammatory molecular biomarkers could be useful in the diagnosis and choice of therapeutic strategies. However, little is known about the normal values of inflammatory biomarkers at different ages. Moreover, early diagnosis of OA is crucial to ensure early treatment in order to prevent chronic damage. The aim of this study was to establish a reference range for values of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6 and TNF-α) and MMPs (MMP-2 and MMP-9) in the synovial fluid of horses of different ages. The old horses group presented higher values of IL-4 and TNF-α than the rest of the groups studied (P<0.001 vs. all other groups). IL-1β levels were higher in foals than in all the other groups (P<0.001). No statistically significant differences were found between the groups as regards the mean IL-6 values. Synovial MMP-2 levels were statistically lower in the old horses group (P<0.001) and higher in the foals group (P<0.05). Higher MMP-9 levels were found in the foals group (55.45 ± 58.1 percentage of proteolysis) (P<0.001 vs. all other groups). This study demonstrates the existence of variations in the levels of pro-inflammatory markers in the synovial fluid of horses at different agesOsteoartritis (OA) je najčešća bolest zglobova u sportskih konja. Upalni i protuupalni citokini te metaloproteinaze (MMP) imaju ključnu ulogu u degradaciji izvanstaničnog matriksa hrskavice. Istraživanje molekularnih biomarkera upale moglo bi biti korisno u dijagnostici i izboru strategija za liječenje. No, malo se zna o normalnim vrijednostima upalnih biomarkera u različitoj dobi. Štoviše, rana dijagnoza OA ključna je za osiguranje ranog liječenja, kako bi se spriječilo kronično oštećenje. Cilj ovoga rada bio je utvrditi referentni raspon vrijednosti proupalnih citokina (IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6 i TNF-a) i MMP-a (MMP-2 i MMP-9) u sinovijalnoj tekućini konja različite dobi. Skupina starih konja pokazala je veće vrijednosti IL-4 i TNF-α od ostalih istraženih skupina (P<0,001 u odnosu na sve ostale skupine). Razina IL-1β bila je viša u ždrebadi nego u svim ostalim skupinama (P<0,001). Nije bilo statistički značajne razlike među skupinama u odnosu na prosječne vrijednosti IL-6. Razina MMP-2 u sinoviji bila je statistički niža u skupini starih konja (P<0,001) i više u skupini ždrebadi (P<0,05). Visoke razine MMP-9 pronađene su u skupini ždrebadi (55,45 ± 58,1 % proteolize) (P<0,001 u odnosu na sve ostale skupine). Ovaj rad pokazuje postojanje varijacija u razinama proupalnih markera u sinovijalnoj tekućini konja različite dobi

Phenolic content, physical-chemical composition and antioxidant activity of Syrah wines elaborated in São Francisco Valley during ripening.

The present work aimed to study the phenolic content, physical-chemical composition and antioxidant activity of red wines cv Syrah prepared from grapes harvested at different stages of ripeness

Evaluating the typicality of the aroma of Syrah tropical wines from the Sub-middle São Francisco Valley employing gas chromatography coupled to olfactometry detection (GC-O).

With the aim to evaluate the peculiarities of wines produced in that region, this study focused on the characterization of the volatile profile and the determination of key odorant compounds in Syrah wine. Syrah wine was prepared at Embrapa Semiarido, Petrolina-PE from grapes obtained from a winery located in the city of Casa Nova-BA

O USO DE MAPAS MENTAIS E CONCEITUAIS PARA MATERIALIZAÇÃO DO PENSAMENTO HUMANO

O presente artigo aborda os resultados parciais do projeto intitulado O USO DE MAPAS MENTAIS E CONCEITUAIS: ESTÍMULO À APRESENTAÇÃO DE IDEIAS E MATERIALIZAÇÃO DO PENSAMENTO HUMANO, que teve como fruto o curso Mapas em Ação em 2018 na UFRRJ. Ele apresenta a percepção dos alunos sobre a experiência em aprender a construir mapas mentais e conceituais, como um instrumento auxiliar da aprendizagem. Trata-se de um estudo de caso, de natureza quanti-qualitativa e exploratória. Os resultados preliminares, de forma em geral, demonstraram satisfação em relação a vários aspectos (infraestrutura, ao conteúdo, formato e dinâmica das aulas) e reconheceram a utilidade e benefícios proporcionados pelos mapas quanto à facilidade e mais agilidade na aprendizagem e apreensão do conhecimento. Pretende-se ampliar a oferta do curso para um maior número de interessados, divulgando o potencial desses mapas, ainda não substancialmente desconhecidos. Espera-se com a continuidade poder coletar dados suficientes para consolidar resultado

Investigation of the fusion process for B 10 + Au 197 at near-barrier energies

In a previous work, we presented data for the B10+Au197 system, corresponding to quasielastic and elastic scattering, Au197 inelastic excitation, and one neutron pickup transfer, measuring the angular distribution of scattered beam-like ejectiles at several energies around the Coulomb barrier. In this paper, we present data for the fusion process of the same system, at several energies around the Coulomb barrier, as well as new data for one neutron pickup and stripping transfer. In this case, we detected offline γ rays stemming from the β-delayed decay chain of fusion-evaporation residues and heavy transfer products. As in our previous work, we analyzed this data set with coupled reaction channels calculations using the São Paulo potential. We show that the coupling to the one neutron transfer channel is quite important to describe the fusion data at the sub-barrier energy region. We also provide a comparison of the experimental fusion cross sections obtained for B10+Au197 with data for several other systems involving the same target nucleus.Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET, Argentina) PIP00786COFondo para la Investigacin Cientfica y Tecnolgica (FONCYT, Argentina) PICT-2017-4088Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP, Brazil) 2018/09998-8, 2019/07767-1, 2019/05769-7Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq, Brazil) 302160/2018-3, 304056/2019-7Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades PGC2018-096994-B-C2

Desenvolvimento vegetativo e tensão da água no solo em videiras para suco sobre dois porta-enxertos.

RESUMO: O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o efeito de dois porta-enxertos sobre o desenvolvimento vegetativo e as tensões da água no solo em videiras destinadas à elaboração de suco, sob condições irrigadas. As avaliações foram realizadas de agosto a dezembro de 2015 no município de Votuporanga (SP), com a cultivar Isabel Precoce enxertada sobre os portaenxertos ?IAC 572? e ?IAC 766?. As plantas foram sustentadas no sistema espaldeira e irrigadas por microaspersores. Tensiômetros foram instalados a 0,10 m e 0,30 m de profundidade, para monitorar as tensões da água no solo. Foram determinados os índices de área foliar, a altura da copa e a porcentagem da área sombreada das videiras. As tensões da água no solo apresentaram comportamento semelhante nos dois porta-enxertos. Não foram observadas diferenças significativas entre as variáveis de crescimento vegetativo nas videiras. Concluiu-se que os porta-enxertos ?IAC 572? e ?IAC 766? não afetaram o desenvolvimento vegetativo e as tensões da água no solo para a cultivar Isabel Precoce, em condições irrigadas.
