Psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Addendum for PTSD (PSQI-A)

Objective: Sleep disturbances play a fundamental role in the pathophysiology posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and are not only a secondary feature. The aim of this study was to validate and assess the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Addendum for PTSD (PSQI-A-BR), a self-report instrument designed to assess the frequency of seven disruptive nocturnal behaviors, in a sample of participants with and without PTSD. Methods: PSQI-A was translated into Brazilian Portuguese and applied to a convenience sample of 190 volunteers, with and without PTSD, who had sought treatment for the consequences of a traumatic event. Results: The PSQI-A-BR displayed satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach's coefficient of 0.83 between all items) and convergent validity with the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS), even when excluding sleep-related items (r = 0.52). Test-retest yielded high agreement in the global PSQI-A-BR, with good stability over time (r = 0.88). A global PSQI-A-BR cutoff score of 7 yielded a sensitivity of 79%, specificity of 64%, and a global score of 7 yielded a positive predictive value of 93% for discriminating participants with PTSD from those without PTSD. Conclusion: The PSQI-A-BR is a valid instrument for PTSD assessment, applicable to both clinical and research settings.Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP) Department of PsychiatryUniversity of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Department of PsychiatryUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP) Department of PsychobiologyUNIFESP, Department of PsychiatryUNIFESP, Department of PsychobiologySciEL

Disarming Pseudomonas aeruginosa Virulence by the Inhibitory Action of 1,10-Phenanthroline-5,6-Dione- Based Compounds: Elastase B (LasB) as a Chemotherapeutic Target

negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and this enzyme orchestrates several physiopathological events during bacteria-host interplays. LasB is considered to be a potential target for the development of an innovative chemotherapeutic approach, especially against multidrug-resistant strains. Recently, our group showed that 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (phendione), [Ag(phendione)2]ClO4 (Ag-phendione) and [Cu(phendione)3](ClO4)2.4H2O (Cu-phendione) had anti-P. aeruginosa action against both planktonic- and biofilm-growing cells. In the present work, we have evaluated the effects of these compounds on the (i) interaction with the lasB active site using in silico approaches, (ii) lasB proteolytic activity by using a specific fluorogenic peptide substrate, (iii) lasB gene expression by real time-polymerase chain reaction, (iv) lasB protein secretion by immunoblotting, (v) ability to block the damages induced by lasB on a monolayer of lung epithelial cells, and (vi) survivability of Galleria mellonella larvae after being challenged with purified lasB and lasB-rich bacterial secretions. Molecular docking analyses revealed that phendione and its Ag+ and Cu2+ complexes were able to interact with the amino acids forming the active site of lasB, particularly Cu-phendione which exhibited the most favorable interaction energy parameters. Additionally, the test compounds were effective inhibitors of lasB activity, blocking the in vitro cleavage of the peptide substrate, aminobenzyl-Ala-Gly-Leu-Ala-p-nitrobenzylamide, with Cu- phendione having the best inhibitory action (Ki = 90 nM). Treating living bacteria with a sub-inhibitory concentration (1/2 × MIC value) of the test compounds caused a significant reduction in the expression of the lasB gene as well as its mature protein production/secretion. Further, Ag-phendione and Cu-phendione offered protective rg 1 August 2019 | Volume 10 | Article 1701 1,10-Phenanthroline-5,6-Dione-Based Compounds: As Anti-Virulence Drugs action for lung epithelial cells, reducing the A549 monolayer damage by approximately 32 and 42%, respectively. Interestingly, Cu-phendione mitigated the toxic effect of both purified lasB molecules and lasB-containing bacterial secretions in the in vivo model, increasing the survival time of G. mellonella larvae. Collectively, these data reinforce the concept of lasB being a veritable therapeutic target and phendione-based compounds (mainly Cu-phendione) being prospective anti-virulence drugs against P. aeruginosa

TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open access

Plant traits - the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants - determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait‐based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits - almost complete coverage for ‘plant growth form’. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait–environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives

Effects of Circuit Weight-Interval Training on Physical Fitness, Cardiac Autonomic Control, and Quality of Life in Sedentary Workers

Sedentary behaviors, those that involve sitting and low levels of energy expenditure, have been associated with several adverse cardiometabolic effects. This study evaluated the chronic effects of a combined circuit weight interval training (CWIT) on physical fitness, quality of life, and heart rate variability (HRV), and compared the effects of CWIT-induced autonomic adaptations on different postures in adult sedentary workers. Twenty-seven sedentary workers (age 36.9 ± 9.2 years old, 13 men and 14 women) were divided into two groups: control, who continued their sedentary behavior, and experimental, who were submitted to a CWIT for 12 weeks, completing two ~40 min sessions per week. Monitoring of 8th, 16th, and 24th sessions revealed a moderate training load during sessions. Participants exhibited an improved aerobic capacity (VO2max, 34.03 ± 5.36 vs. 36.45 ± 6.05 mL/kg/min, p < 0.05) and flexibility (22.6 ± 11.4 vs. 25.3 ± 10.1 cm, p < 0.05) after the training period. In addition, they showed greater quality of life scores. However, the CWIT did not change body composition. Interestingly, more HRV parameters were improved in the seated position. The CWIT used in the current study was associated with improvements in several fitness and quality of life parameters, as well as in cardiac autonomic control of HR in adult sedentary workers. Examination of different body positions when evaluating changes in HRV appears to be a relevant aspect to be considered in further studies. Future randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with larger samples of both sexes should confirm these promising results

Produção, teor foliar e qualidade de frutos do pessegueiro 'Chimarrita' em função da adubação nitrogenada, na região da Lapa-PR Production, leaves concentracion and fruit quality of the peach orchard 'Chimarrita' as function of N fertilization, at Lapa region, Parana state - Brazil

A produção integrada de pêssego (Prunus persica L. Batsch) regulamenta a dose de N a ser aplicada, a_fim de manter a produtividade, sem afetar a sanidade da planta e a qualidade ambiental. Contudo, existe uma grande carência de informação sobre a dose de N necessária na manutenção da produtividade de pomares na região da Lapa. Assim, avaliaram-se doses de N na produção, no teor foliar e na qualidade de frutos da cultivar 'Chimarrita', por três anos, em um pomar comercial com 5 anos de idade, localizado no município da Lapa-PR. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso, com três tratamentos e três repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram de doses de N (40; 80 e 160 kg de N ha-1 ano-1), na forma de uréia. A redução na adubação nitrogenada em pomar estabelecido afetou negativamente a produtividade para o segundo ano. Com um decréscimo acumulado de 8,4 t ha-1 em três anos, para a menor dose quando comparada com a maior dose. A produtividade variou com o número de frutos, visto que a massa média dos frutos e o calibre não foram suficientes para afetar a produção. A adubação de N não afetou os aspectos qualitativos dos frutos avaliados (sólidos solúveis totais, acidez total titulável e firmeza da polpa), que ficaram em geral dentro dos padrões normais da cultivar. Para os teores foliares, somente o N foi afetado pela adubação nitrogenada para os três anos avaliados, mas ficando para todos os tratamentos em níveis considerados normais. Os teores foliares de Ca, Mg, Fe e Zn ficaram abaixo do preconizado para o pêssego.<br>The peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) integrated production regulates the N rates to be applied in order to obtain high yield and fruit quality without affecting plant sanity and environmental quality. However, there is a great lack of local information about N rate that it is necessary to achieve high yield for orchard at Lapa origin. So, an experiment was implanted in 5-year old commercial orchard, in the Lapa County, Paraná State, Brazil where it was evaluated N rates effect over the fruit yield, leaves concentration and quality, during three years. The experimental design was a randomized block with three treatments and three replications. The treatments were three N rates (40, 80 and 160 kg of N ha-1 ano-1), using urea as N source. The reduction in nitrogen fertilization, in established orchard, diminished the yield only for the second year. There was an accumulated yield decrease of 8,4 t ha-1 during three years, comparing the smallest to largest rate. The yield was straight associated with fruit number since the fruit mass and caliber were not affected by N application. The N fertilization did not effect fruit qualitative proprieties evaluated (total soluble solids, acidity total titratable and firmness of the pulp) and them values stayed within range concentration considered normal for cultivar. Leave tissue analysis showed that only N concentration was affected by the N fertilization for the three evaluated years, but being in normal levels for all treatments. The Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn leaves concentration was below normal level established for peach.

Adubação nitrogenada e potássica na produtividade da ameixeira 'Reubennel', na região de Araucária - PR Nitrogen and potassium fertilization on yield of plum at Araucaria County Parana Brazil

A adubação é um dos fatores que podem influenciar na produção e na qualidade dos frutos, contudo existem poucas pesquisas nessa área em frutíferas no sul do Brasil para auxiliar no momento da sua recomendação. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito de doses de adubação nitrogenada e potássica para a produtividade da ameixeira (Prunus salicina), cv. 'Reubennel'. O experimento foi instalado em um pomar comercial com cinco anos, no município de Araucária-PR. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos ao acaso, distribuídos em parcelas subsubdivididas, com três repetições. Na parcela, foi aplicado o potássio (55 e 110 kg de K2O ha-1 ano-1), e na subparcela o nitrogênio (40; 80; 120; 160 e 200 kg de N ha-1 ano-1), durante três anos. O fator ano foi analisado como subsubparcela. Foram avaliados a produção, o número de frutos antes do raleio e durante a colheita, e a massa e calibre dos frutos. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram alto potencial produtivo do pomar, com uma produção média de 38,7 t ha-1 ano-1, nos três anos avaliados. Contudo não foram observadas diferenças nos tratamentos e na interação entre eles para nenhuma das características avaliadas, podendo estar associado às características químicas e físicas do solo e ao efeito do manejo (poda e raleio). O fator ano apresentou diferença significativa para a produção, calibre e número de frutos. Independentemente dos tratamentos, a produtividade da ameixeira foi direta e inversamente proporcional ao número e tamanho dos frutos, respectivamente. As menores doses de nitrogênio e de potássio foram suficientes para obter altas produtividades durante três anos.<br>Fertilization is one of the factors that can influence in the yield and quality of the fruits, however, there are few researches in that area fruit in the south of Brazil in order to guide the moment of its recommendation. The research aim was to evaluate nitrogen and potassium fertilization in the plum yield (Prunus salicina), cv. 'Reubennel'. The experiment was established in a five years old commercial orchard in Araucaria County Parana. The experiment design was a split-plot in a randomized complete block with three replications. Main plot treatments were potassium rates (55 and 110 kg of K2O ha-1 ano-1), and subplot treatments were the nitrogen rates (40, 80, 120, 160 and 200 kg of N ha-1 ano-1), that were applied during three years. The year factor was analyzed as split-split plot. The analyzed variables were yield, fruit number before the thinning and during harvesting, and fruit weight and caliber. The result indicated a high productive potential of the orchard used, with a mean yield of 38.7 tons ha-1 ano-1 in the three years evaluated. However, there was no difference in the treatments or interaction effects of the treatments on any evaluated parameters which could be associated to the chemical and physics characteristics of the soil and plant management (trims and thinning). Year factor influenced yield, caliber, and fruit number. Regardless of the treatments Plum yield was direct and inverse related with fruit number and fruit size, respectively. Low N and K rates were able to obtain high yield during three years
