Short term sodium alendronate administration improves the peri-implant bone quality in osteoporotic animals

Sodium alendronate is a bisphosphonate drug that exerts antiresorptive action and is used to treat osteoporosis. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone repair process at the bone/implant interface of osteoporotic rats treated with sodium alendronate through the analysis of microtomography, real time polymerase chain reactions and immunohistochemistry (RUNX2 protein, bone sialoprotein (BSP), alkaline phosphatase, osteopontin and osteocalcin). Material and Methods A total of 42 rats were used and divided in to the following experimental groups: CTL: control group (rats submitted to fictitious surgery and fed with a balanced diet), OST: osteoporosis group (rats submitted to a bilateral ovariectomy and fed with a low calcium diet) and ALE: alendronate group (rats submitted to a bilateral ovariectomy, fed with a low calcium diet and treated with sodium alendronate). A surface treated implant was installed in both tibial metaphyses of each rat. Euthanasia of the animals was conducted at 14 (immunhostochemistry) and 42 days (immunohistochemistry, micro CT and PCR). Data were subjected to statistical analysis with a 5% significance level. Results Bone volume (BV) and total pore volume were higher for ALE group (

Tree identity rather than tree diversity drives earthworm communities in European forests

Given the key role of belowground biota on forest ecosystem functioning, it is important to identify the factors that influence their abundance and composition. However, the understanding of the ecological linkage between tree diversity and belowground biota is still insufficient. Here we investigated the influence of tree diversity (richness, True Shannon diversity index, functional diversity) and identity (proportion of evergreen leaf litter and leaf litter quality) on earthworm species richness and biomass at a continental and regional scale, using data from a Europe-wide forest research platform (FunDivEUROPE) spanning six major forest types. We found a marked tree identity effect at the continental scale, with proportion of evergreen leaf litter negatively affecting total earthworm biomass and species richness, as well as their biomass per functional group. Furthermore, there were clear litter quality effects with a latitudinal variation in trait-specific responses. In north and central Europe, earthworm biomass and species richness clearly increased with increasing litter nutrient concentrations (decreasing C:N ratio and increasing calcium concentration), whereas this influence of litter nutrients was absent or even reversed in southern Europe. In addition, although earthworms were unaffected by the number of tree species, tree diversity positively affected earthworm biomass at the continental scale through functional diversity of the leaf litter. By focusing on tree leaf litter traits, this study advanced our understanding of the mechanisms driving tree identity effects and supported previous findings that litter quality, as a proxy of tree identity, was a stronger driver of earthworm species richness and biomass than tree diversit

Levantamento taxonômico preliminar de lagartas em cultivo experimental de baunilha (Vanilla planifólia) / Preliminary taxonomic survey of caterpillars in experimental culture of vanilla (Vanilla planifolia)

A baunilha (Vanilla planifólia) é uma planta perene, nativa do México e América Central, que cresce à sombra em região de clima tropical. Seus frutos, denominadas vagens ou favas, possuem a vanilina que confere aroma à planta utilizada na culinária e na indústria, porém a baunilha sintética é a mais comercializada. Em razão da valorização da baunilha no mercado mundial, visando atender a procura por ingredientes naturais e aumentar o retorno financeiro por hectare, principalmente para pequenos e médios produtores, buscou-se desenvolver um cultivo experimental da baunilha na região de São José do Rio Preto – SP. Devido a exigência da planta por sombreamento foi adotado dois sistemas de cultivo: cultivo protegido e sistema agroflorestal (SAF). Como são escassas as informações a respeito da baunilha no Brasil e nas principais regiões produtoras, em especial na região onde o experimento foi instalado, o presente trabalho objetivou identificar duas espécies de lagartas que surgiram no cultivo experimental de baunilha causando danos a cultura. As lagartas foram identificadas através um levantamento de dados na literatura disponível para relatar sua ocorrência

Produção artesanal de sabões, tintas e velas ecológicas a partir de óleo residual de fritura como estratégia de educação ambiental

O padrão de desenvolvimento econômico atual tem aumentado significativamente o consumo dos recursos naturais e, por conseguinte, a geração de resíduos. Os resíduos químicos domésticos e, em particular, os óleos residuais de fritura, têm tido um papel de destaque nesta problemática em razão do grande volume descartado na natureza. Por conta disso, ações de Educação Ambiental que promovam o reuso de óleos residuais de fritura podem desenvolver mecanismos importantes de atenuação do impacto ambiental de médio a longo prazo. Em linha com essa estratégia, a produção de sabões, tintas e velas ecológicas com qualidade e segurança, a partir de óleos residuais de fritura, podem oportunizar o desenvolvimento e a promoção de projetos de extensão universitária relacionados à temática de Educação Ambiental de reuso de resíduos. Nesse sentido, este trabalho descreve um relato de experiência das ações de extensão universitária desta natureza desenvolvidas pelo projeto Cicla-Óleo UFPB em escolas públicas da região metropolitana de João Pessoa (PB, Brasil) e seu entorno.

Addressing climate change with behavioral science: a global intervention tournament in 63 countries

Effectively reducing climate change requires marked, global behavior change. However, it is unclear which strategies are most likely to motivate people to change their climate beliefs and behaviors. Here, we tested 11 expert-crowdsourced interventions on four climate mitigation outcomes: beliefs, policy support, information sharing intention, and an effortful tree-planting behavioral task. Across 59,440 participants from 63 countries, the interventions’ effectiveness was small, largely limited to nonclimate skeptics, and differed across outcomes: Beliefs were strengthened mostly by decreasing psychological distance (by 2.3%), policy support by writing a letter to a future-generation member (2.6%), information sharing by negative emotion induction (12.1%), and no intervention increased the more effortful behavior—several interventions even reduced tree planting. Last, the effects of each intervention differed depending on people’s initial climate beliefs. These findings suggest that the impact of behavioral climate interventions varies across audiences and target behaviors
