Experimental Inoculation of Dermatophytes on Psoriatic Skin

Two dermatophytic agents, Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes were used in the experimental inoculation of psoriatic lesions in 27 volunteer patients (13 males and 14 females with an age range from 17 to 72 yr). T. rubrum was inoculated in 14 patients and T. mentagrophytes (varietas granulare) in 13. For purposes of control in each patient the same agent was also inoculated on healthy skin. Results were noted once a week for a period of 1 mo. A positive response was found in 12 of the 14 patients inoculated with T. rubrum but only in 4 of the 13 inoculated with T. mentagrophytes. Healthy skin was found to have a positive response in only 5 cases, in 4 with T. rubrum, and in 1 with T. mentagrophytes. These results confirm the possibility of invasion of psoriatic lesions by dermatophytes and suggest that the coexistance of psoriasis and dermatophytic infection may be not always purely coincidental. The importance of the awareness of the presence of mycotic lesions and their possible spread with the application of steroid ointments under occlusive dressings in a psoriatic patient is stressed

Is Age an Independent Factor in Assessing Renal Health and Function in Healthy Individuals? A Pilot Study

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a measure of renal filtration and clearance of serum creatinine and is conventionally used to characterize the progressive decline in renal function. Assessment of renal function and health is traditionally believed to be age-dependent. However, in the absence of cardiometabolic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipemia, etc.), this may not be the case. Recently, novel markers of renal health and function support the notion that age is a secondary factor influencing renal decline. PURPOSE: To determine the magnitude of age as an influencing factor involved in the decline of renal function with novel markers of renal health and function in the absence of cardiometabolic risk factors. METHODS: Thirty-nine participants (n = 18 men; n = 21 women; age 32.5 + 12.6 yr; height 171.1 + 11.4 cm; weight 78.7 + 15.6 kg; BMI 27.1 + 5.8; SBP 120 + 11.2; DBP 78 + 6.6; CHOL 173 + 30; and GLU 96 + 7) completed a single health assessment to quantify renal health and function. Blood and urine samples were collected by the same technician under standardized conditions and stored at -60 ºC until project completion. Serum creatinine (sCR), urine creatinine (uCr), urine epidermal growth factor (uEGF), uEGF/uCr ratio (uEGFR), cystatin C (CyC) and eGFR - modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) and the CKD-EPI - responses were analyzed and compared in age groups (20s, 30s, 40s, 50s) using 4 (group) by 1 (sample) ANOVAs. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in markers of renal health and function between any age group. sCR (p = 0.90), uCr (p = 0.17), uEGF (p = 0.15), CyC (p = 0.32), uEGFR (p = 0.28), MDRD (p = 0.17), and CKD-EPI (p = 0.83). CONCLUSION: In healthy individuals, changes in renal health and function appear to be independent of age in the absence of cardiometabolic diseases. Indicating renal health and function could potentially be maintained throughout adulthood, middle age, and possibly attenuated in the senior years with the continued absence of cardiometabolic diseases

Otimização e caracterização microestrutural de cerâmicas de carbeto de silício obtidas com material nacional para uso em blindagem balística

Armas de fogo têm sido usadas em periódo dificeis da história, nos quais conflitos entre países têm ocorrido, ou no cotidiano cada vez amis violento das grandes cidades. Neste sentido, a blindagem de veículos, aeronaves e de pessoas é uma necessidade cada vez maior. Das cerâmicas utilizadas para esse fim, o carbeto de silício tem um excelente desempenho devido à alta dureza e baixa densidade. O objetivo desse trabalho é otimizar a manufatura de cerâmicas de carbeto de silício feitas de matéria prima nacional, caracterizá-las tanto quanto comparar suas características com aquelas de material importado, visando sua aplicação em blindagem balística pessoal ou de veículos leves. a fim de proporcionar independência tecnológica nessa área. Foram confeccionadas cerâmicas de carbeto de dilício de dois tipos de pós: um nacional Microservice e importado - H. C. Starck. As cerâmicas foram conformadas por prensagem uniaxial, seguida de prensagem isostática e sinterização com fase líquida, utilzando YAG como aditivo de sinterização. A caracterização das cerâmicas foir formada por: ensaios de flexão por quatro pontos, medidas de densidade, testes de dureza e ceramografia. As cerâmicas confeccionadas com o SiC H. C, Starck apresentaram maior densidade e maior resistência mecânica do que as demais. Enquanto que, as amostras nas quais o SIC da Microservice associado a 10% de YAG como aditivo foi usado, demostraram a mais alta homogeneidade e valores de resistência mecânica e dureza os mais próximos aos valores daquelas feitas com matéria-prima importada. Esses resultados mostram que é possível usar cerâmicas feitas com o SIC nacional para propósitos de blindagem balística.Firearms have beem used either in hard periods of history, in which conflicts between countries have occurred, or in the everyday life of the large cities, wich are more and more violent. Thus, the protection of vehicles, aircraft and people is an increasing need. Among ceramics used for this purpose, silicon carbide has an excellent performane due to its high hardness and low density. The goal of this work is to optimize the manufacture of the silicon carbide ceramics made from Brazilian raw-materials, characteriza them as well as to compares their characteristics with those form imported raw-material, aiming their application in personnel or in light vehicles armor to provide technological independence in this field. Silicon carbide ceramics were made of two kinds of powders: Brazilian - Microservice and importe - H. C. Starck. The ceramics were shaped by uniaxial pressing, followed by isostatic pressing, and liquid phase sintering using YAG as an sintering additive. The characterization of the ceramics was consisted of the four-point flexural tests, measurements of density, hardness testsm and ceramography. The ceramics made of SIC H.C. Starck presentes higher density and higher mechanical resistance than the others. While the samples of ceramicsm in wich the SIC of Microservice and a 10-percent of YAG as an additive was used, presented the highest homogeneity and mechanical resistance and hardness values closets to the values from those made of importes raw-materials. These results show it is possible to use ceramics, made of Brazilian sources for ballistica armor purposes.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES
