ABSTRACT The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others. publications problem uptodate up date classifications context exception (CTFB http//fauna.jbrj.gov.br/, httpfaunajbrjgovbr http //fauna.jbrj.gov.br/ , jbrj gov br (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/) 2015 Brazil 80 specialists 1 2024 133691 133 691 133,69 125138 125 138 125,13 82.3%, 823 82 3 (82.3% 102000 102 000 102,00 7.69%, 769 7 69 (7.69% 11000 11 11,00 . 3,567 3567 567 (3,56 2,292 2292 2 292 (2,29 1,833 1833 833 (1,83 1,447 1447 447 (1,44 1000 1,00 831 (83 628 (62 606 (60 520 (52 50 users science health biology law anthropology education others http//fauna.jbrj.gov.br/ faunajbrjgovbr //fauna.jbrj.gov.br (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/ 201 8 202 13369 13 133,6 12513 12 125,1 82.3% (82.3 10200 10 00 102,0 7.69% 76 6 (7.69 1100 11,0 3,56 356 56 (3,5 2,29 229 29 (2,2 1,83 183 83 (1,8 1,44 144 44 (1,4 100 1,0 (8 62 (6 60 52 (5 5 http//fauna.jbrj.gov.br (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br 20 1336 133, 1251 125, 82.3 (82. 1020 0 102, 7.69 (7.6 110 11, 3,5 35 (3, 2,2 22 (2, 1,8 18 (1, 1,4 14 4 ( 82.

RESUMO O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da substituição da silagem de milho por cana-de-açúcar na dieta de cabras Saanen em lactação e determinar a ingestão e a digestibilidade de nutrientes, o comportamento ingestivo, a produção e a composição do leite. As dietas experimentais foram compostas de níveis crescentes (0, 33, 66 e 100%) de substituição na matéria seca (MS). Doze cabras Saanen multíparas, com peso corporal médio de 45,2kg, produção média de leite de 3,0kg dia-1, foram distribuídas em delineamento experimental triplo quadrado latino (4 × 4). A ingestão de matéria seca (IMS) e de outros nutrientes foi estimada por meio da diferença entre o total de nutrientes nos alimentos oferecidos e o total nas sobras. A IMS, a proteína bruta, a fibra em detergente neutro (FDN) e os nutrientes digestíveis totais não foram influenciados, mas a digestibilidade aparente da MS e da FDN diminuiu. A produção de leite não foi influenciada pelos níveis de substituição, mas a produção de leite corrigida para 3,5% de gordura diminuiu. A cana-de-açúcar representa uma alternativa alimentar para cabras com produção média de leite em períodos críticos de forragem, pois não altera o consumo de MS e a produção de leite, mesmo diminuindo a digestibilidade aparente de alguns nutrientes e influenciando o comportamento ingestivo dos animais.
ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of replacing corn silage with sugarcane in the diet of lactating Saanen goats and to determine their intake and digestibility of nutrients, ingestive behavior, milk yield and composition. The experimental diets were composed of increasing levels (0, 33, 66 and 100%) of substitution in dry matter (DM). Twelve multiparous Saanen goats, with an average body weight of 45.2kg, average milk yield of 3.0kg day-1, distributed in a triple latin square experimental design (4 × 4) were used. The dry matter intake (DMI) and other nutrients were estimated through the difference between the total nutrient in the food offered and its total in the leftovers. The DMI, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and total digestible nutrients were not influenced, but the apparent digestibility of DM and NDF decreased. Feeding time and feeding efficiency were not influenced, the rumination and total chewing times increased, and the leisure time decreased, both linearly. Milk yield was not influenced by substitution levels, but corrected milk yield to 3.5% fat decreased. Sugar cane represents a dietary alternative for goats with medium milk yield in critical periods of forage, since it does not change the consumption of DM and milk yield, even with the apparent declining digestibility of some nutrients, influencing the ingestive behavior of the animals.

Maternal smoking is a risk factor for progeny obesity. We have previously shown, in a rat model of neonatal tobacco smoke exposure, a mild increase in food intake and a considerable increase in visceral adiposity in the adult offspring. Males also had secondary hyperthyroidism, while females had only higher T4. Since brown adipose tissue (BAT) hypofunction is related to obesity, here we tested the hypothesis that higher levels of thyroid hormones are not functional in BAT, suggesting a lower metabolic rate. We evaluated autonomic nerve activity in BAT and its function in adult rats that were exposed to tobacco smoke during lactation. At birth, litters were adjusted to 3 male and 3 female pups/litter. From postnatal day (PND) 3 to 21, Wistar lactating rats and their pups were divided into SE group, smoke-exposed in a cigarette smoking machine (4 times/day) and C group, exposed to filtered air. Offspring were sacrificed at PND180. Adult SE rats of both genders had lower interscapular BAT autonomic nervous system activity, with higher BAT mass but no change in morphology. BAT UCP1 and CPT1a protein levels were decreased in the SE groups of both genders. Male SE rats had lower β3-AR, TRα1, and TRβ1 expression while females showed lower PGC1α expression. BAT Dio2 mRNA and hypothalamic POMC and MC4R levels were similar between groups. Hypothalamic pAMPK level was higher in SE males and lower in SE females. Thus, neonatal cigarette smoke exposure induces lower BAT thermogenic capacity, which can be obesogenic at adulthood.

O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever o uso da elastografia ARFI (acoustic radiation force impulse) para avaliar as afecções testiculares em cães. Dezoito cães com distúrbios testiculares (36 testículos) foram avaliados. Ecotextura, tamanho, contornos e margens dos testículos foram avaliados por meio da ultrassonografia modo-B. A presença de deformidades e a rigidez tecidual (escala de cinza; homogênea ou heterogênea) foram avaliadas pela elastografia qualitativa; e a velocidade de cisalhamento foi determinada pela avaliação quantitativa. Amostras dos tecidos testiculares foram coletadas após orquiectomia para o diagnóstico histopatológico. Após ultrassonografia, orquiectomia e histopatologia, foram identificados 36 distúrbios em tecidos testiculares. Durante a elastografia qualitativa, os tecidos normais apresentaram-se homogêneos e não deformáveis; os testículos alterados demonstraram alterações na rigidez tecidual e de sua homogeneidade. Para a elastografia quantitativa, os valores obtidos foram: tecidos normais - 1,30±0,12m/s; degenerados - 0,97±0,08m/s; atrofiados - 2,00±0,35m/s; hipoplásicos - 0,82±0,2m/s; cistos - 1,32±0,18m/s; orquite - 2,68±0,42m/s; tumores de células intersticiais - 3,32±0,65m/s; sertolioma - 2,99±0,07m/s; e leydigoma - 2,73±0,37m/s. A elastografia ARFI de testículos anormais em cães demonstrou ser uma técnica aplicável e complementar para o diagnóstico de doenças testiculares nessa espécie animal.
The aim of this study was to describe the use of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography in the evaluation of testicular disorders in dogs. Eighteen dogs with testicular disorders (thirty-six testicles) were assessed. Echotexture, size, contours and margins of testes were analysed by ultrasonography. Deformities and tissue stiffness (greyscale and homogenous or heterogeneous) were evaluated by qualitative elastography and shear velocity was determined quantitatively. Subsequent to orchiectomy, testicular samples were collected for histopathology analysis and thirty-six disorders were identified. Qualitative elastography revealed that normal healthy testicular tissues were homogenous and not pliable while the affected testicles had alterations in tissue stiffness and homogeneity. The values obtained for quantitative elastography of the testicular tissues were: normal/healthy - 1.30±0.12 m/s; degenerated - 0.97±0.08 m/s; atrophied - 2.00±0.35 m/s; hypoplastic - 0.82±0.2 m/s; cystic - 1.32±0.18 m/s; orchitis - 2.68±0.42 m/s; interstitial cell tumours - 3.32±0.65 m/s; sertolioma - 2.99±0.07 m/s and leydigoma - 2.73±0.37. ARFI elastography of abnormal testes proved to be an applicable and complementary technique in the diagnosis of testicular disease in dogs.

A total of 32 male castrated boars and gilts of a commercial pig line aged 21 days and 6.20±0.92 kg of live weight were used to evaluate the performance and economical evaluation of copra meal inclusion in diets for piglets at nursery. Animals were allotted in a completely randomized block design with four treatments (0, 7, 14 and 21 % of copra meal), eight replicates per treatment and one animal as experimental unit. From 21 to 42 days of age, levels up to 7 % reduced daily weight gain of piglets (p<0.05). A quadratic trend on feed:gain ratio was observed from 42 to 63 days and total period (p<0.05), with better results at estimated level of 14.33 and 13.99 %, respectively. No effect of copra meal inclusion on economical variables was observed from 21 to 42 days of age. From 43 to 63 days and total period (21 to 63 days) a quadratic effect on economical indexes was observed with the inclusion of different levels of copra meal, with better results around 15 %. The inclusion of copra meal until the level of 7 % is recommended in piglet diets from 21 to 42 days of age. From 43 to 63 days, the estimated level of 15 % results in better performance and economical indexes. It is recommended to include up to 7 % of coconut meal in diets for pigs from 21 to 42 days old. From 43 to 63 days of age, the estimated level of 15 % resulted in better performance.
Utilizou-se 32 leitões machos castrados e fêmeas de linhagem comercial, desmamados com 21 dias de idade e peso vivo médio de 6,20±0,92 kg, objetivando avaliar o desempenho e a avaliação econômica de níveis inclusão de farelo de coco (FC) em rações para leitões na fase de creche. Os animais foram distribuídos em um delineamento em blocos ao acaso, com quatro tratamentos (0, 7, 14 e 21 % de farelo de coco), oito repetições por tratamento e um animal por unidade experimental. Observou-se que dos 21 aos 42 dias de idade, a inclusão de níveis acima de 7 % de farelo de coco na ração resultou em efeito linear negativo (p<0,05) sobre o ganho de peso diário. Dos 43 aos 63 dias de idade e no período total (21 a 63 dias de idade), observou-se feito quadrático dos níveis de FC nas rações (p<0,05) sobre a conversão alimentar, estimando-se melhor nível de 14,33 e 13,99 %, respectivamente. Para a fase dos 21 a 42 dias de idade, não houve efeito da inclusão de farelo de coco sobre as variáveis econômicas avaliadas. No entanto, dos 43 aos 63 dias e no período total (21 a 63 dias), observou-se efeito quadrático para as variáveis econômicas em função dos níveis de farelo de coco nas rações (p<0,05), com melhores resultados ao nível estimado aproximado de 15 %. Recomenda-se a inclusão de até 7 % de farelo de coco em rações para leitões dos 21 aos 42 dias de idade. Para a fase posterior, dos 43 a 63 dias de idade, o nível estimado de 15 % resultou em melhores índices de desempenho e econômico. Recomenda-se a inclusão de até 7 % de farelo de coco em rações para leitões dos 21 a 42 dias de idade. Para a fase posterior, dos 43 aos 63 dias de idade, o nível estimado de 15 % resultou em melhores índices de desempenho.

O interesse pelo estudo do sistema nervoso central vem crescendo na Medicina Veterinária. A ultrassonografia transcraniana (USTC) tem a vantagem de não ser invasiva e ter baixo custo quando comparada à tomografia computadorizada (TC) e à imagem em ressonância magnética (RM). O osso temporal tem sido utilizado como janela acústica na realização da USTC em seres humanos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo correlacionar imagens ultrassonográficas transcranianas obtidas através das janelas temporal e occipital com a anatomia encefálica em cães adultos hígidos, e padronizar a técnica de exame. Foram utilizados 37 cães adultos, sem raça definida: 30 animais in vivo, para realização da técnica, e sete cadáveres, para a secção do encéfalo, à similitude dos planos de imagem obtidos ao USTC. Os dados foram analisados utilizando o teste não paramétrico de Wilcoxon. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que a USTC é um método diagnóstico viável para a avaliação do encéfalo de cães com peso corporal até 10kg, por meio de planos dorsal e dorsais oblíquos, sem a necessidade de anestesiar o paciente.
The study of the nervous system is increasing in Veterinary Medicine. Transcranial ultrasonography (TCUS) has the advantage of being a non-invasive and low cost method compared to computerized tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The temporal bone has been used as an acoustic window in TCUS in humans. This study aimed to correlate transcranial ultrasonographic images obtained through the temporal and occipital window with healthy dog's encephalic anatomy, and to standardize the technique. 37 adult mongrel dogs were used: 30 animals in vivo, in order to perform USTC screening and seven dog corpses for brain section as well as USTC planes. Data analysis was accomplished by the non parametric Wilcoxon test. Results obtained indicate that TCUS (in dorsal and oblique planes) is a viable method for brain evaluation in dogs weighting up to 10kg without anesthesia.

A abrangência dos estudos sobre a toxemia da prenhez (TP) tem sido constante e inovadora em alguns conceitos, porém o estudo dos casos clínicos naturais em cabras é inexistente no Brasil. Diante disso, realizou-se análise das alterações clínicas, do perfil bioquímico, eletrolítico e hormonal com o objetivo de compreender a fisiopatogenia da enfermidade. Foram avaliadas 22 cabras atendidas na Clínica de Bovinos, Campus Garanhuns/UFRPE, diagnosticadas com TP, no período de 2007 a 2012. Realizou-se exame clínico e coleta de sangue e urina, para análise do perfil bioquímico e hormonal. Acentuadas alterações clínicas foram observadas, como decúbito, apatia, dispneia, aumento da temperatura corpórea, mucosas congestas, vasos episclerais injetados, desidratação, anorexia, hipomotilidade ou atonia ruminal, edema nos membros. Os resultados laboratoriais revelaram valores elevados para ureia, creatinina, ácidos graxos não esterificados (AGNE), β-hidroxibutirato, amilase e cortisol, enquanto as variáveis: proteína total, albumina, cálcio total, cálcio ionizado, fósforo, a relação cálcio e fósforo, sódio e insulina encontraram-se diminuídos. Outros parâmetros bioquímicos e eletrolíticos, como frutosamina, globulina, cloro, potássio e magnésio mantiveram-se dentro da faixa de normalidade. Quanto a glicemia, foram constatados três condições nas cabras com TP, normoglicêmicas (50%), hiperglicêmicas (27,28%) e hipoglicêmicas (22,72%). Dos 17 (77,27%) animais que obtiveram alta 10 (58,82%) eram normoglicêmicos. Vieram a óbito 22,8 % (5/22), no qual 60% (3/5) delas estavam hiperglicêmicas. A média de nascimento por cabra foi superior a duas crias. Verificou-se existir associação fortemente positiva dos AGNE's com a albumina (r=0,60), fraca com o β-hidroxibutirato (r=0,10) e glicose (r=0,03). Porém, existiu relação fortemente negativa dos AGNE's com a insulina (r= -0,70), moderada com o cortisol (r= -0,52) e amilase (r= -0,30). Marcadas alterações clínicas e metabólicas são observadas em cabras com TP, em que o aumento de certos metabólitos do perfil energético e hormonal se torna importante ferramenta para o diagnóstico e constitui um bom instrumento para avaliar a magnitude da condição clínica dos animais enfermos. Os dados encontrados servem de referência para estudos sobre nutrição e metabolismo em cabras com TP.
Studies on pregnancy toxemia (PT) have been constant and innovative with regard to some concepts. However, no studies have been carried out on natural clinical cases in Brazil. Thus, the aim of the present study was to perform an analysis of clinical, biochemical, electrolytic and hormonal findings in goats with PT to gain an understanding of the physiopathology of this metabolic disease. Twenty-two goats with a diagnosis of PT were analyzed at the Bovine Clinic of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (Garanhuns Campus, Brazil) between 2007 and 2012. Clinical exams were performed and both blood and urine were collected for the biochemical and hormonal analyses. Accentuated clinical changes were found, such as decubitus, apathy, dyspnea, increased body temperature, congested mucous membranes, dilated episcleral vessels, dehydration, anorexia, ruminal stasis and edema in the limbs. The laboratory findings revealed high concentrations of urea, creatinine, non-esterified fatty acids, β-hydroxybutyrate, amylase and cortisol as well as reductions in total proteins, albumin, total calcium, ionized calcium, phosphorus the calcium to phosphorus ratio, sodium and insulin. Fructosamine, globulin, chlorine, potassium and magnesium were within the range of normality. Regarding blood sugar, 50% of the goats were within the normal range, 27.28% were hyperglycemic and 22.72% were hypoglycemic; among the 17 animals (77.27%) discharged with life, ten (58.82%) had normal blood sugar levels. Five goats (22.8%) died, 60% (3/5) of which were hyperglycemic. The mean birth rate per goat was more than two offspring. Non-esterified fatty acids were strongly associated with albumin (r = 0.60) and weakly associated with both β-hydroxybutyrate (r=0.10) and glucose (r=0.03). Moreover, non-esterified fatty acids were negatively associated with insulin (r= -0.70; strong association), cortisol (r= -0.52; moderate association) and amylase (r= -0.30; moderate association). Striking clinical and metabolic alterations are found in goats with PT. The increase in certain metabolites of the energy and hormonal profile constitutes an important tool for the diagnosis and determination of the magnitude of the clinical condition in affected animals. The present data can serve as reference for future studies on nutrition and metabolism in goats with pregnancy toxemia.

Avaliaram-se os efeitos da estratégia de pastoreio rotacionado sobre a dinâmica do rebaixamento do milheto (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) pastejado por vacas leiteiras. Os tratamentos consistiram de um fatorial entre duas alturas pré-pastejo, 60 e 40cm, e duas pós-pastejo, 20 e 10cm, alocados em um delineamento em blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições. A estrutura do pasto foi avaliada durante o processo de pastejo a cada 10 minutos, por meio de medições de altura. A taxa de rebaixamento da altura do pasto no tratamento 40-20 apresentou-se relativamente constante ao longo de todo o rebaixamento. O tratamento 60-10 apresentou o maior declínio na taxa de rebaixamento. A taxa de rebaixamento no tratamento 40-10 diminuiu em ritmo mais lento em relação à dos tratamentos com 60cm de altura pré-pastejo. As maiores taxas de ingestão foram observadas nos tratamentos de altura pré-pastejo de 60cm, e considerou-se como a melhor estratégia de manejo a combinação 60-20cm de altura do pasto.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of rotational grazing strategies on the dynamics of the grazing pastures of millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) grazed by dairy cows. Treatments consisted of two pre-grazing heights (60 and 40cm) and two post-grazing heights (20 and 10cm) allocated in a randomized block design with four replications. The sward height was evaluated during grazing every 10 minutes. The rate of grazing down of the sward height of the pasture on the 40-20 grazing strategy was relatively constant throughout the grazing down. Treatment 60-10 showed the largest decline in the rate of grazing down. The rate of grazing down in the 40-10 treatment decreased with a slower intensity when compared to the treatments with 60cm of pre-grazing sward height. The major intake rates were observed in treatments with pre-grazing sward height of 60cm. The best management strategy was considered the combination of 60-20cm of sward height.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the world and is related to the etiology of cervical cancer. The most common high-risk HPV types are 16 and 18; however, the second most prevalent type in the Midwestern region of Brazil is HPV-33. New vaccine strategies against HPV have shown that virus-like particles (VLP) of the major capsid protein (L1) induce efficient production of antibodies, which confer protection against the same viral type. The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is an efficient and inexpensive expression system for the production of high levels of heterologous proteins stably using a wild-type gene in combination with an integrative vector. It was recently demonstrated that P. pastoris can produce the HPV-16 L1 protein by using an episomal vector associated with the optimized L1 gene. However, the use of an episomal vector is not appropriate for protein production on an industrial scale. In the present study, the vectors were integrated into the Pichia genome and the results were positive for L1 gene transcription and protein production, both intracellularly and in the extracellular environment. Despite the great potential for expression by the P. pastoris system, our results suggest a low yield of L1 recombinant protein, which, however, does not make this system unworkable. The achievement of stable clones containing the expression cassettes integrated in the genome may permit optimizations that could enable the establishment of a platform for the production of VLP-based vaccines.

In this study, we examined the physiochemical properties of nasoenteral feeding tubes made from two different types of polymer: silicone materials and polyurethane. The internal surfaces of the nasoenteral feeding tubes were analyzed for their hydrophobicity, roughness, microtopography, rupture-tension and ability to stretch. We also studied the adhesion of an isolated, multi-drug resistant strain of S. aureus to these polymers. The polyurethane nasoenteral tube, which was classified as hydrophilic, was more resistant to rupture-tension and stretching tests than the silicone tube, which was classified as hydrophobic. Additionally, the polyurethane tube had a rougher surface than the silicone tube. Approximately 1.0 log CFU.cm-2 of S. aureus cells adhered to the tubes and this number was not statistically different between the two types of surfaces (p > 0.05). In future studies, new polymers for nasoenteral feeding tubes should be tested for their ability to support bacterial growth. Bacterial adhesion to these polymers can easily be reduced through modification of the polymer's physicochemical surface characteristics.

A proposta deste estudo foi verificar a diferença entre o ângulo quadricipital em indivíduos sintomáticos e assintomáticos, em duas diferentes situações de exame, com o quadríceps relaxado e em contração isométrica voluntária máxima (CIVM) através da mensuração radiográfica para contribuir na avaliação e tratamento de pacientes com disfunção femoropatelar (DFP). Foram avaliadas 20 mulheres (40 joelhos), com idade média de 21 anos, através de método radiológico padronizado. Os indivíduos foram posicionados em decúbito dorsal com um estabilizador podálico em "U", com os membros inferiores relaxados, com a utilização de película de chumbo sobre a tuberosidade anterior da tíbia. Para a análise estatística foram utilizadas as médias dos grupos assintomático e sintomático, em estado de relaxamento e em CIVM, e o teste t de Student, com nível de significância de p < 0,05. Os valores médios do ângulo Q para os assintomáticos foram de 17,15° em relaxamento e de 14,5° em CIVM, enquanto os sintomáticos apresentaram 21,45° e 15,8°, respectivamente. Nos resultados para a análise da igualdade entre os grupos sintomáticos e assintomáticos no estado de relaxamento obteve-se p = 0,004, e para o estado de contração isométrica voluntária máxima, p = 0,29. Considerando os dados obtidos no presente estudo, pode-se verificar que em estado de relaxamento há diferença entre o valor do ângulo Q entre indivíduos sintomáticos e assintomáticos, sendo este maior nos portadores da DFP, enquanto que em estado de contração isométrica máxima do músculo quadricipital não houve diferença estatística, ocorrendo redução do ângulo em ambos os grupos.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference between the angle of the quadriceps in symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals in two different examination situations, having the quadriceps relaxed and in a maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) through radiographic measurement, aiming to contribute to the assessment and treatment of patients with patelofemoral disorder (PFD). Through the standard radiological method twenty 21 years old mean women (40 knees) were assessed. All individuals were positioned supine using a U-podalic stabilizer, having their lower limbs relaxed, using a plumb film on the anterior tuberosity of the tibia. For the statistical analysis, the averages for the asymptomatic and symptomatic groups in a relaxed and MVIC status, as well as the Student's t-test with p < 0.05 significance level were used. The mean values to the Q angle compared to the asymptomatic group were 17.15º on relaxation, and 14.5º on MVIC, while the asymptomatic group presented 21.45º, and 15.8º, respectively. The results in the equality analysis between the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups on the relaxed status attained a p = 0.004, and to the maximal voluntary isometric contraction, p = 0.29. Considering the data attained in the present study, it can be verified that in a relaxing status, there is a difference between the value of the Q angle among symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, being found a higher value in the FPD bearers, while in a maximal isometric contraction of the quadriceps muscle no statistical difference was found in the present study, with a reduction in the angle in both groups.
La propuesta de este estudio era verificar la diferencia entre el ángulo cuadricipital en los individuos sintomáticos y asintomáticos, en dos situaciones diferentes del examen físico; con el cuadriceps relajado y en el máximo de la reducción isométrico voluntario (CIVM) a través de la medida radiográfica para contribuir en la evaluación y el tratamiento de pacientes con trastorno fémoro-patelar (DFP). Se estimaron 20 mujeres (40 rodillas), con la edad media de 21 años, a través de método radiológico estandardizado. Los individuos se pusieron en decúbito con un estabilizador podálico en "U", con los miembros inferiores relajados, con el uso de película de plomo en la tuberosidad anterior de la espinilla. Para el análisis estadístico se usaron las medias del grupo asintomático y sintomático, en estado de relajación y en CIVM, y la prueba del test t, con un nivel de significancia de p < 0,05. Los valores medios del ángulo Q para los asintomáticos fueron de 17,15° en la relajación y de 14,5° en CIVM, mientras los sintomáticos presentaron 21,45° y 15,8°, respectivamente. En los resultados para el análisis de la igualdad entre los grupos sintomático y asintomático en el estado de relajación se obtuvo p = 0,004, y para el estado de reducción isométrica voluntaria máximo, p = 0,29. Considerando los datos obtenidos en el estudio presente, puede verificarse que en el estado de relajación hay diferencia entre el valor del ángulo Q entre los individuos sintomáticos y asintomáticos, siendo este más grande en los portadores de DFP, mientras en el estado de contracción isométrica máxima del músculo cuadriceps no presentó diferencia estadística, habiendo reducción del ángulo en ambos los grupos.

RESUMO O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a eficiência de inseticidas granulados no controle de Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville & Perrottet, 1842) (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae) e seus efeitos sobre vespas predadoras e parasitóides dessa praga. O experimento foi realizado em lavoura comercial cultivar Mundo Novo localizada no Município de Campo Belo, MG. Cada parcela foi composta de 4 linhas de cafeeiro com 10 plantas cada. Aplicaram-se os seguintes inseticidas: thiamethoxam (500 g i.a./ha), thiamethoxam (300 g i.a./ha), thiamethoxam + cyproconazole (250 g i.a. + 250 g i.a./ha), thiamethoxam + cyproconazole (300 g i.a. + 300 g i.a./ha) e aldicarb (4.275 g i.a./ha). Na testemunha não foi realizada aplicação de pesticidas. Realizaram-se duas aplicações: em fevereiro de 2001 e em fevereiro de 2002. Coletaram-se, quinzenalmente, 60 folhas de cafeeiro por parcela situadas no terço médio das plantas. Observou-se efetivo controle do bicho-mineiro pelos inseticidas avaliados, tendo sido constatada redução no número de ovos, na porcentagem de folhas minadas e de lagartas de L. coffeella vivas. Verificou-se tendência de redução nos índices de predação, principalmente, nos períodos de maior precipitação. Todos os produtos mostraram-se tóxicos aos parasitóides da praga, sendo que aldicarb causou o menor impacto.
ABSTRACT The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of some soil-applied granulated insecticides on the control of Leucoptera coffeella (Guérin-Mèneville & Perrottet, 1842) (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae) and their effects on predatory wasps and parasitoids of this pest. The experiment was carried out in a commercial crop cv. Mundo Novo located in Campo Belo, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Each plot was made up of 4 rows of coffee crop with 10 plants each. The following insecticides were applied: thiamethoxam (500 g a.i./ha), thiamethoxam (300 g a.i./ha), thiamethoxam + cyproconazole (250 g a.i./ha + 250 g a.i./ha), thiamethoxam + cyproconazole (300 g a.i./ha + 300 g a.i./ha) and aldicarb (4,275 g a.i./ ha). Two applications were done in February of 2001 and in February of 2002. At intervals of two weeks, 60 coffee leaves per plot, located in the middle third of the plants were collected. Effective control of the coffee leaf miner by the evaluated insecticides was observed. All products caused reduction in the number of eggs, in the percentage of mined leaves and in the number of live caterpillars of L. coffeella. All evaluated insecticides were shown to be harmful to the coffee leaf miner parasitoids, aldicarb being the least toxic.

The establishment of dorsal-ventral polarity in Drosophila is a complex process which involves the action of maternal and zygotically expressed genes. Interspecific differences in the expression pattern of some of these genes have been described in other species. Here we present the expression of dorsal-ventral genes during early embryogenesis in the lower dipteran Rhynchosciara americana. The expression of four genes, the ventralizing genes snail (sna) and twist (twi) and the dorsalizing genes decapentaplegic (dpp) and zerknüllt (zen), was investigated by whole-mount in situ hybridization. Sense and antisense mRNA were transcribed in vitro using UTP-digoxigenin and hybridized at 55°C with dechorionated fixed embryos. Staining was obtained with anti-digoxigenin alkaline phosphatase-conjugated antibody revealed with NBT-BCIP solution. The results showed that, in general, the spatial-temporal expression of R. americana dorsal-ventral genes is similar to that observed in Drosophila, where twi and sna are restricted to the ventral region, while dpp and zen are expressed in the dorsal side. The differences encountered were subtle and probably represent a particular aspect of dorsal-ventral axis determination in R. americana. In this lower dipteran sna is expressed slightly later than twi and dpp expression is expanded over the lateral ectoderm during cellular blastoderm stage. These data suggest that the establishment of dorsal-ventral polarity in R. americana embryos follows a program similar to that observed in Drosophila melanogaster.

The human androgen receptor (AR) gene promoter lies in a GC-rich region containing two principal sites of transcription initiation and a putative Sp1 protein-binding site, without typical "TATA" and "CAAT" boxes. It has been suggested that mutations within the 5'untranslated region (5'UTR) may contribute to the development of prostate cancer by changing the rates of gene transcription and/or translation. In order to investigate this question, the aim of the present study was to search for the presence of mutations or polymorphisms at the AR-5'UTR in 92 prostate cancer patients, where histological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was established in specimens obtained from transurethral resection or after prostatectomy. The AR-5'UTR was amplified by PCR from genomic DNA samples of the patients and of 100 healthy male blood donors, included as controls. Conformation-sensitive gel electrophoresis was used for DNA sequence alteration screening. Only one band shift was detected in one individual from the blood donor group. Sequencing revealed a new single nucleotide deletion (T) in the most conserved portion of the promoter region at position +36 downstream from the transcription initiation site I. Although the effect of this specific mutation remains unknown, its rarity reveals the high degree of sequence conservation of the human androgen promoter region. Moreover, the absence of detectable variation within the critical 5'UTR in prostate cancer patients indicates a low probability of its involvement in prostate cancer etiology.
