Resumo Neste estudo, analisamos a distribuição altitudinal e condição corpórea de juvenis dos peixes migradores Megaleporinus obtusidens e Salminus brasiliensis no rio Uruguai, um rio subtropical sul-americano. Nós utilizamos os dados de presença/ausência e o fator de condição dos juvenis como indicadores, para tentar caracterizar alguns padrões de recrutamento de peixes migradores no canal principal do rio Uruguai. A amostragem com rede de espera foi realizada durante dois anos reprodutivos, 2015-2016 e 2016-2017 (novembro e março de cada ano reprodutivo), em três trechos do rio Uruguai em diferentes níveis de altitude. As redes permaneceram na água por 10-12 horas a noite ou dia, por 10 dias durante cada saída de campo (NOV-15, MAR-16, NOV-16 e MAR-17). A abundância de juvenis de M. obtusidens foi semelhante entre os dois anos reprodutivos, enquanto a captura de S. brasiliensis foi maior durante o ano reprodutivo 2015-2016. A probabilidade de encontrar juvenis de M. obtusidens no rio Uruguai foi negativamente correlacionada (p < 0,05) com o gradiente altitudinal dos pontos amostrais, conforme demonstrado pelo modelo GLM. Para S. brasiliensis, o modelo logit apresentou relação probabilística não-significativa (p > 0,05) entre a presença de juvenis desta espécie de peixe e o gradiente de altitude. Com relação à condição corpórea dos juvenis, a qualidade da água dos pontos amostrais não influenciou o fator de condição dos juvenis para nenhuma das espécies; no entanto, uma relação positiva (p < 0,05) foi encontrada com o nível da água para ambas as espécies, com um R2 ajustado de 0,13 para M. obtusidens e 0,48 para S. brasiliensis. O gradiente de altitude e o nível da água foram fatores significativos que podem afetar a distribuição de juvenis e a condição corpórea destas espécies, respectivamente, no rio Uruguai. Portanto, estas informações podem ser utilizadas em políticas de geração de energia hidrelétrica para conservar as populações de peixes migradores na bacia do rio Uruguai. estudo sulamericano. sulamericano sul americano. americano sul-americano presençaausência ausência indicadores reprodutivos 20152016 2015 2016 2015-201 20162017 2017 2016-201 novembro reprodutivo, , reprodutivo) 1012 12 10-1 dia 1 NOV15, NOV15 NOV 15, 15 (NOV-15 MAR16, MAR16 MAR 16, 16 MAR-16 NOV16 NOV-1 MAR17.

Abstract In this study, we analyzed the altitudinal distribution and body condition of the juvenile migratory fish Megaleporinus obtusidens and Salminus brasiliensis in the Uruguay River, a South American subtropical river. We used the presence/absence data and condition factor (K) of juveniles as indicators to try to characterize some recruitment patterns of migratory fish in the main channel of the Uruguay River. Gillnet sampling was conducted during two reproductive years, 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 (November and March of each reproductive year), in three Uruguay River stretches at different levels of altitude. The nets remained in the water for 10-12 hours per night or day for 10 days during each field trip (NOV-15, MAR-16, NOV-16, and MAR-17). The abundance of M. obtusidens juveniles were similar between the two reproductive years, whereas S. brasiliensis capture was higher during the 2015-2016 reproductive year. The probability of finding M. obtusidens juveniles in the Uruguay River was negatively correlated (p < 0.05) with the altitudinal gradient of the sampling points, as shown by the GLM model. For S. brasiliensis, the logit model indicated a non-significant probabilistic relationship (p > 0.05) between the presence of juveniles of this fish species and the altitude gradient. Regarding the body condition of juveniles, the water quality of the sampling points did not affect the juvenile condition factor for either species; however, a positive relationship (p < 0.05) was found with the water level for both species, even with an adjusted R2 of 0.13 for M. obtusidens and 0.48 to S. brasiliensis. Altitude gradient and water level were factors that may affect the juvenile distribution and body condition of these species, respectively, in the Uruguay River. Therefore, this information can be used in hydropower generation policies to conserve migratory fish populations in the Uruguay River Basin. study river presenceabsence absence K (K years 20152016 2015 2016 2015-201 20162017 2017 2016-201 November year, year , year) 1012 12 10-1 1 NOV15, NOV15 NOV 15, 15 (NOV-15 MAR16, MAR16 MAR 16, 16 MAR-16 NOV16, NOV16 NOV-16 MAR17.

Abstract Background: The relationship between viral infections and host factors holds high hopes for identifying the role of Interferon Lambda 3 (IFNL3) and Interleukin 6 (IL-6) polymorphisms in the development of Chronic Liver Disease (CLD) in patients infected with hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) in the Western Brazilian Amazon. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted with a cohort of 40 chronic HDV patients, 27 with CLD and 13 without evident liver damage. Biological samples from the participants were analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, followed by sequencing by the automated Sanger method. Results: The rs8099917 T allele, from the IFNL3 gene, showed a higher frequency in both groups; however, it was not possible to establish an association with HDV infection [OR = 1.42 (0.42 - 4.75; p = 0.556 (95% CI). For IL-6, the rs1800795 G allele was superior to rs1800795 C. Analyzing both distributions in the studied groups, any association with HDV was absent (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The results suggest that the rs8099917 T/G (IFNL3) and rs1800795 G/C (IL-6) polymorphisms are not associated with the evolution of HDV in the studied population.

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.

Abstract The aim of this study was to identify Cryptosporidium species found in cattle and sheep in Paraná, southern region of Brazil. Individual fecal samples from 458 bovines and 101 sheep were submitted for molecular analysis by PCR and nested PCR using specific primers for sequences of the 18S ribosomal unit (rRNA). Positive samples were analyzed using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), followed by genetic sequencing for species confirmation. The occurrence of Cryptosporidium was 11.27% (63/559). The highest occurrence was detected in lambs (12/59, 20.33%). From the 63 positive samples, it was possible to identify the species in 58 of them by RFLP and genetic sequencing. Five species of Cryptosporidium were identified: Cryptosporidium andersoni, Cryptosporidium bovis, Cryptosporidium ryanae, Cryptosporidium xiaoi, and Cryptosporidium parvum. The most prevalent species was C. andersoni (41.38%) and the least predominant was C. parvum (10.34%). The most abundant species of Cryptosporidium in dairy calves were C. andersoni (11/25) and C. ryanae (6/25). Of the 17 positive sheep, nine (52.94%) were infected with C. andersoni. This finding is the first report on the occurrence of C. andersoni in naturally infected sheep in Brazil and the first observation of a high absolute occurrence of this Cryptosporidium species in sheep.

Abstract Introduction: The association of diabetes with subclinical thyroid diseases may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. We analyzed the association of subclinical hypothyroidism, diabetes, and both diseases with carotid Intima-Media Thickness (cIMT) as a surrogate maker for early cardiovascular disease in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). Methods: Cross-sectional analysis with data from the 3rd visit (2017‒2019). Linear regression models were used to evaluate the association of subclinical hypothyroidism, diabetes and of both diseases with a cIMT presented as Beta (95% Confidence Interval – 95% CI) without adjustment, with adjustment for sociodemographic variables (Model 1) and multivariable adjustment (Model 1 more cardiovascular risk factors). We also used logistic regression models to analyze the Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% CI for the association of both diseases using cIMT > P75%. Results: After the exclusion of patients with previous cardiovascular disease, 5,077 participants with no diseases, 1578 with diabetes, 662 with subclinical hypothyroidism, and 234 with both diseases were included in the analysis. Linear regression models showed an association of cIMT with only diabetes (β = 0.019; 95% CI 0.012 to 0.027; p < 0.0001) and subclinical hypothyroidism more diabetes (β = 0.03; 95% CI 0.010‒0.047, p < 0.0001). The logistic regression model reported an association between diabetes and CIMT higher than P75% (OR = 1.49, 95% CI 1.30‒1.71). No interaction between diabetes and subclinical hypothyroidism was detected using cIMT respectively as a continuous (p = 0.29) or as a categorical variable (p = 0.92). Discussion: Diabetes was associated with higher cIMT values. However, no additive effect of subclinical hypothyroidism associated with diabetes over cIMT was detected.

Abstract A fibrinolytic enzyme from the microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta was produced under mixotrophic conditions using different corn steep liquor (CSL) concentrations ( 0 ≤ CLS ≤ 0.75%), purified using a combination of salting out and ion-exchange chromatography, and then biochemical characterized. Cultivation of this microalga using 0.5% CSL led to the highest maximum cell concentration (1.960±0.010 mg L-1) and cell productivity (0.140g L-1 day-1), besides a high fibrinolytic activity of the extract obtained by the homogenization method (102 ±1 U mL-1). The enzyme extracted from the microalgal biomass was 5-fold purified with a 20% yield and was found to have a specific activity of 670 U mg-1. The enzyme, whose molecular weight determined by fibrin zymography was 10 kDa, was shown to be stable at pH 3.0–9.0 and up to 70°C with optimal pH and temperature values of 8.0 and 50°C, respectively. When compared to other fibrinolytic enzymes, this protease stood out for its high fibrinolytic activity, which was enhanced by Fe2+, inhibited by Zn2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+, and strongly inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, suggesting that it belongs to the serine metalloprotease family. Moreover, thanks to its thermal stability, the enzyme may be easily preserved and activated under high-temperature conditions.

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the relationship between psoriasis, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), free triodothyronine (FT3), thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb), and subclinical thyroid dysfunctions in middle-aged and older adults. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional analyses included a self-reported medical diagnosis of psoriasis and thyroid function from the 3rd visit (2017-2019) of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). TSH, FT4, and FT3 levels were analyzed as continuous variables and quintiles, and TPOAb positivity and subclinical hypothyroidism as a yes/no variable. Logistic regression models were built as crude and adjusted by main confounders (age, sex, education level, race/ethnicity, and smoking). Results: From 9,649 participants (52.3% women; 59.2 ± 8.7 years old), the prevalence of psoriasis was 2.8% (n = 270). TSH, FT4, TPOAb positivity, and subclinical hypothyroidism were not associated with psoriasis in the main analyses. In the stratified analysis, our findings showed positive associations of the lowest (OR = 2.01; 95% CI 1.05-3.84; p = 0.036) and the highest (OR = 2.13; 95% CI 1.12-4.05; p = 0.022) quintiles of FT4 and a protective association of TPOAb positivity (OR = 0.43; 95% CI 0.19-0.98; p = 0.046) with prevalent psoriasis in women. In the logistic regression for FT3, participants in the 1st quintile showed a statistically significant association with psoriasis for the whole sample (OR = 1.66; 95% CI 1.11-2.46; p = 0.013) and for men (OR = 2.25; 95% CI 1.25-4.04; p = 0.007) in the sex-stratified analysis. Conclusions: The present study showed that the association of FT4 levels with psoriasis are different according to sex, with a possible U-shaped curve in women but not in men. Although there were some associations of FT3 with psoriasis, they may be a consequence of non-thyroidal illness syndrome. Further prospective data may clarify the association of thyroid function and psoriasis.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a toxicidade aguda dos óleos essenciais (OEs) de Aloysia triphylla, Lippia gracilis e Piper aduncum em juvenis de tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum), e avaliar as possíveis alterações histopatológicas em suas brânquias. Para os testes de toxicidade aguda, juvenis de tambaqui (n=24/tratamento) foram distribuídos em 6 tratamentos, com três repetições, sendo o controle e cinco concentração do OE de A. triphylla (60, 80, 100, 120 e 140 mg L-1), L. gracilis (35, 40, 45, 50 e 55 mg L-1) e P. aduncum (42,5, 45, 47,5, 50 e 52,5 mg L-1), com exposição de 4 h. A taxa de mortalidade e a severidade dos danos nas brânquias de tambaqui foram proporcionais ao aumento da concentração do OE, com os valores de CL50-4 h estimados em 109,57 mg L-1 para A. triphylla, em 41,63 mg L-1 para L. gracilis e em 48,17 mg L-1 para P. aduncum. Os principais danos morfológicos observados nas brânquias de tambaqui, expostos aos três OEs, foram os de grau I: hipertrofia e hiperplasia das células do epitélio lamelar, fusão lamelar, descolamento epitelial, dilatação e constrição capilar, proliferação de células de cloreto e de células mucosas e edema; em baixa frequência os de grau II como ruptura epitelial e aneurisma lamelar. Necrose (dano de grau III) foi observado somente nas lamelas branquiais expostas ao OE de P. aduncum (47,5, 50,0 e 52,5 mg L-1). Concentrações do OEs abaixo dos valores de CL50-4 h podem ser utilizados com parcimônia, em curtos períodos de exposição para o tratamento de doenças na criação de tambaqui.

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the acute toxicity of the essential oils (EOs) of Aloysia triphylla, Lippia gracilis and Piper aduncum in juvenile tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum), and evaluate the possible histopathological alterations in their gills. For the acute toxicity tests, juvenile tambaqui (n=24/treatment) were distributed in six treatments with three replicates, which comprised the control and five EO concentrations of A. triphylla (60, 80, 100, 120 and 140 mg L-1), L. gracilis (35, 40, 45, 50 and 55 mg L-1) and P. aduncum (42.5, 45, 47.5, 50 and 52.5 mg L-1), with an exposure period of 4 h. The mortality rate and severity of damage to the tambaqui gills were proportional to the increase in the concentration of the EO, with LC50-4 h values estimated at 109.57 mg L -1 for A. triphylla, 41.63 mg L -1 for L. gracilis and 48.17 mg L -1 for P. aduncum. The main morphological damages observed in the gills of the tambaqui exposed to the three EOs, were Grade I: hypertrophy and hyperplasia of lamellar epithelial cells, lamellar fusion, epithelial detachment, capillary dilation and constriction, proliferation of chloride cells and mucosal cells and edema; in low frequency Grade II damage as epithelial rupture and lamellar aneurysm. Necrosis (Grade III damage) was observed only in gill lamellae exposed to P. aduncum EO (47.5, 50.0 and 52.5 mg L-1). Concentrations of EOs below LC50-4 h can be used sparingly, for short periods of exposure for the treatment of diseases in tambaqui breeding.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the modulatory properties of Calendula officinalis L. (Asteraceae) (C. officinalis) extract on cafeteria diet-fed rats. Methods: A cafeteria diet was administered ad libitum for 45 days to induce dyslipidemia. Then, the rats were treated with the formulations containing C. officinalis in the doses of 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg or only with the vehicle formulation; the control group received a commercial ration. Results: The cafeteria diet decreased glutathione S-transferase activity and high-density lipoprotein plasmatic levels and damaged the hepatic architecture. The C. officinalis extract was able to reduce lipid infiltration in liver tissue and to modulate oxidative stress and lipid profile markers. Conclusions: The correlations between the variables suggest a pathological connection between oxidative stress markers and serum lipid profile.

Background Eucalyptus is the primary cultivated wood species in Brazil, covering 7.5 million hectares. Weed competition in eucalyptus plantations reduces yield and increases operational costs. FuturaGene/Suzano has developed genetically modified (GM) eucalyptus varieties with glyphosate herbicide tolerance (HT) as a modern tool for improving weed management practices in plantations. The first event received regulatory approval for commercial deployment in 2021. However, the introgression of a new GM trait into eucalyptus, a non-isogenic species, cannot be achieved through selfing or backcrossing. To overcome this limitation and expedite the introgression of HT into the breeding population, multiple GM events were generated, in various genetic backgrounds and genomic locations, enabling simultaneous crossing with numerous elite parents. Objective To characterize the newly developed HT GM eucalyptus events and assess their safety for the environment and wood production. Methods HT GM eucalyptus events were subjected to genome sequencing and glyphosate tolerance testing. Biosafety analyses and environmental impact assessments were conducted through field trials in various eucalyptus cultivation regions, comparing the HT GM eucalyptus with conventional clones. Results The new events proved highly tolerant to glyphosate and displayed different genomic insertion sites. No adverse effects on non-target organisms were observed, and there were no significant differences in the soil microbiota or decomposition profile.Conclusions: The HT GM events have been proven to be safe, posing a low risk to the environment, humans, and animals. Consequently, these HT GM eucalyptus varieties can be confidently utilized for wood production.

Resumo Fatores de transcrição (FT) são uma ampla classe de genes em plantas e podem regular a expressão de outros genes em resposta a vários estresses ambientais (estresses bióticos e abióticos). No presente estudo, a atividade do fator de transcrição na cana-de-açúcar foi examinada durante o estresse pelo frio. Inicialmente, as leituras de transcrição de RNA de duas cultivares de cana-de-açúcar (ROC22 e GT08-1108) sob estresse frio foram baixadas do banco de dados SRA NCBI. As leituras foram alinhadas em um genoma de referência e as análises de expressão diferencial foram realizadas com o pacote R / Bioconductor edgeR. Com base em nossas análises no cultivar ROC22, 963 genes TF foram significativamente regulados positivamente sob estresse pelo frio entre um total de 5.649 genes regulados positivamente, enquanto 293 genes TF foram regulados negativamente entre um total de 3.289 genes regulados negativamente. No cultivar GT08-1108, 974 genes TF foram identificados entre 5.649 genes regulados positivamente e 283 genes TF foram encontrados entre 3.289 genes regulados negativamente. Os fatores de transcrição, em sua maioria, foram anotados com categorias GO relacionadas à ligação de proteína, ligação de fator de transcrição, ligação específica de sequência de DNA, complexo de fator de transcrição, atividade de fator de transcrição em RNA polimerase II, atividade de fator de transcrição de ligação de ácido nucleico, atividade de corepressor de transcrição, sequência específica da região reguladora, atividade do fator de transcrição da RNA polimerase II, atividade do cofator do fator de transcrição, atividade do fator de transcrição do promotor do plastídio, atividade do fator de transcrição do promotor da RNA polimerase I, polimerase II e RNA polimerase III. As descobertas dos resultados acima ajudarão a identificar fatores de transcrição expressos diferencialmente durante o estresse pelo frio. Ele também fornece uma análise abrangente da regulação da atividade de transcrição de muitos genes. Portanto, este estudo fornece base molecular para melhorar a tolerância ao frio em cana-de-açúcar e outras gramíneas economicamente importantes.
Abstract Transcription factors (TF) are a wide class of genes in plants, and these can regulate the expression of other genes in response to various environmental stresses (biotic and abiotic). In the current study, transcription factor activity in sugarcane was examined during cold stress. Initially, RNA transcript reads of two sugarcane cultivars (ROC22 and GT08-1108) under cold stress were downloaded from SRA NCBI database. The reads were aligned into a reference genome and the differential expression analyses were performed with the R/Bioconductor edgeR package. Based on our analyses in the ROC22 cultivar, 963 TF genes were significantly upregulated under cold stress among a total of 5649 upregulated genes, while 293 TF genes were downregulated among a total of 3,289 downregulated genes. In the GT08-1108 cultivar, 974 TF genes were identified among 5,649 upregulated genes and 283 TF genes were found among 3,289 downregulated genes. Most transcription factors were annotated with GO categories related to protein binding, transcription factor binding, DNA-sequence-specific binding, transcription factor complex, transcription factor activity in RNA polymerase II, the activity of nucleic acid binding transcription factor, transcription corepressor activity, sequence-specific regulatory region, the activity of transcription factor of RNA polymerase II, transcription factor cofactor activity, transcription factor activity from plastid promoter, transcription factor activity from RNA polymerase I promoter, polymerase II and RNA polymerase III. The findings of above results will help to identify differentially expressed transcription factors during cold stress. It also provides a comprehensive analysis of the regulation of the transcription activity of many genes. Therefore, this study provides the molecular basis for improving cold tolerance in sugarcane and other economically important grasses.

RESUMO O uso do organomineral tem um alto potencial para substituir fertilizantes sintéticos. O objetivo do presente estudo foi encontrar uma taxa de substituição ideal do organomineral em comparação com o fertilizante mineral para aumentar a produtividade e a qualidade da batata. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições, utilizando seis tratamentos: quatro doses substitutas de fertilizante organomineral (25, 50, 75, e 100% da demanda de fertilizante mineral), uma dose de fertilizante mineral (100% de fertilizante mineral) e controle (sem aplicação de fertilizante). As doses do organomineral foram testadas como alternativas para substituir de 25 a 100% do fertilizante mineral. A produtividade e qualidade da batata (total e em classes) e o teor de nutrientes na planta e no solo foram monitorados. Houve correlação positiva entre pH e conteúdo de sólidos solúveis totais com a produtividade. A batata acumulou maiores teores de potássio > nitrogênio > fósforo nas folhas, caules e tubérculos. A dose de 3,7 t ha-1 do organomineral (equivalente a 100% de fertilizante mineral) foi a taxa ideal para aumentar a produtividade e qualidade da batata. O organomineral é uma alternativa viável para aumentar a qualidade e a produtividade da batata com um incremento positivo de nutrientes nas plantas e no solo.
ABSTRACT Organomineral fertilizer has great potential to replace synthetic fertilizers. The goal of this study was to determine an optimal substitution rate of organomineral fertilizer for mineral fertilizer to increase potato yield and quality. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with four replicates and six treatments, namely four substitution rates of organomineral fertilizer application (25, 50, 75, and 100% of mineral fertilizer demand), one rate of mineral fertilizer application (100% of mineral fertilizer demand), and the control (no fertilizer application). The organomineral application rates were tested as an alternative to substitute 25 to 100% of mineral fertilizer. The potato yield (total and in-class) and quality and plant and soil nutrient contents were monitored. The pH and total soluble solid contents had positive correlations with yield. Potatoes accumulated higher contents of K > N > P in the leaves, stems, and tubers. The organomineral fertilizer application rate of 3.7 t ha-1 (equivalent to 100% of mineral fertilizer demand) was the optimal rate to increase potato yield and quality. Organomineral fertilizer is a viable alternative to increase potato quality and yield and to increase plant and soil nutrient contents.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of two ethyl cyanoacrylate-based adhesives on the growth of Candida albicans biofilms on a heat-polymerized resin, after 7, 14, and 30 days of exposure. Ninety circular (10 x 2 mm) heat-polymerized resin specimens were equally divided into three groups: control, conventional ethyl cyanoacrylate (ECAc), and ethyl cyanoacrylate gel (ECAg). Two layers of 50 µL of each material were applied to the respective groups. C. albicans SC5314 strain was activated and standardized to 107 cells/mL-1. Specimens were immersed in 1 mL of artificial saliva and deposited in 1 mL fungal suspension, washed, and immersed in 1 mL of RPMI for 7, 14, and 30 days. The medium was changed at 48-hour intervals. The final suspension was diluted (10 -1 to 10-4) and deposited on Sabouraud dextrose agar for 48 h at 37 °C. After this period, the colonies were quantified using the CFU/mL calculation. Data were evaluated using one- way ANOVA and Tukey’s test for post-hoc analysis (P=0.05). It was observed that both adhesives significantly reduced (P<0.05) biofilm formation compared to the control at all evaluated periods. In conclusion, an immediate and long-term inhibitory effect on C. albicans biofilm formation was observed.
RESUMEN: El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el desarrollo microbiano en superficies de resina acrílica de termopolimerización, acondicionadas previamente, con adhesivos a base de etil cianoacrilato después de 7, 14 y 30 días de exposición en biofilm de Candida albicans. Noventa muestras circulares (10 x 2 mm) de resina acrílica de termopolimerización se dividieron por igual en tres grupos: control, etil cianoacrilato convencional (ECAc) y etil cianoacrilato en gel (ECAg). Se aplicaron dos capas de 50 µl de cada adhesivo en cada muestra. Simultáneamente, se activó la cepa C. albicans SC5314 y se estandarizó a 107 células/ml-1. Las muestras fueron sumergidas en 1 mL de saliva artificial por dos horas y luego se depositó 1 mL de suspensión fúngica por una hora. En seguida cada muestra se lavó y se sumergió en 1 mL de RPMI durante 7, 14 y 30 días, con cambios del medio a cada 48 horas. La suspensión final se diluyó (10-1 a 10-4) y se depositó en agar dextrose Sabouraud durante 48 h a 37° C. Después de este período, las colonias se cuantificaron mediante el cálculo de UFC / mL. Los datos obtenidos se evaluaron por medio del test ANOVA-one way y la prueba de Tukey para el análisis post- hoc (p = 0,05). Se observó que ambos adhesivos redujeron significativamente (P<0,05) la formación del biofilm de Candida albicans al ser comparados con el grupo control en todos los períodos evaluados. Los adhesivos a base de etil cianoacrilato poseen un efecto inhibidor de biofilm de Candida albicans de hasta 30 días, al ser aplicados dos veces en resinas acrílicas de termopolimerización.

RESUMO Produtores que praticam sistemas consorciados de hortaliças folhosas com tuberosas geralmente buscam sistemas que proporcionem alta produtividade, maior diversificação da produção, produtos de alta qualidade e principalmente retorno agroeconômico. Esse trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar se há viabilidade agroeconômica do bicultivo de alface em consórcio com beterraba sob diferentes quantidades equitativas de biomassa de Merremia aegyptia e Calotropis procera (20, 35, 50 e 65 t ha-1 em base seca) e densidades populacionais de alface (150, 200, 250 e 300 mil plantas de alface ha-1), combinadas com 500 mil plantas por hectare de beterraba em dois anos de cultivos em ambiente semiárido. A produtividade de folhas de alface e a produtividade comercial de raizes de beterraba foram avaliadas, bem como, os indices agronômicos: relação equivalente de terra (RET), razão de área equivalente no tempo (RAET), indice de eficiência produtiva (IEP), escore da variável canônica (Z) e perda de rendimento real (PRR) e os indicadores econômicos: renda bruta (RB), renda liquida (RL), vantagem monetária (VM) e taxa de retorno (TR). Os maiores retornos agroeconômicos do consórcio alface-beterraba foram alcançados com RET e RAET de 2,59 e 1,39; IEP e Z de 0,97 e 2,32; PRR de 10,66, e RB, RL e VM de 94.742,89; 59.121,45 e 56.631,98 R$ ha-1 e TR de R$ 2,75 para cada real investido, respectivamente, na combinação de 65 t ha-1 de biomassa de M. aegyptia e C. procera e densidade populacional de alface de 300 mil plantas por hectare. A beterraba foi a cultura dominante e a alface a dominada. O consórcio de alface e beterraba é altamente viável quando adequadamente adubado com biomassa de M. aegyptia e C. procera, pois expressam viabilidade agronômica e econômica e sustentabilidade em ambiente semiárido.
ABSTRACT Producers who practice intercropped systems of leafy vegetables with tuberous ones, generally seek for systems that provide high productivity, greater diversification of production, high quality products and mainly agroeconomic return. Therefore, the objective of this work was to assess whether there is agro-economic viability of lettuce bi-cropping in intercrop with beet, under different equitable amounts of Merremia aegyptia and Calotropis procera biomass (20, 35, 50 and 65 t ha-1 on dry basis) and population densities of lettuce (150, 200, 250 and 300 thousand plants of lettuce ha-1), combined with 500 thousand plants per hectare of beet in two years of cultivation in semi-arid environment. Productivity of lettuce leaves and commercial productivity of beet roots were evaluated, as well as the agronomic indices: land equivalent ratio (LER), area-time equivalent ratio (ATER), productive efficiency index (PEI), score of the canonical variable (Z), actual yield loss (AYL), and the economic indicators: gross income (GI), net income (NI), monetary advantage (MA) and rate of return (RR). The highest agro-economic returns of the lettuce-beet intercropping were achieved with LER and ATER of 2.59 and 1.39; PEI and Z of 0.97 and 2.32; and AYL of 10.66; and GI, NI and MA of 94,742.89; 59,121.45; 56,631.98 R$ ha-1 and RR of R$ 2.75 for each real invested, respectively, in the combination of 65 t ha-1 of M. aegyptia and C. procera biomass and lettuce population density 300 thousand plants per hectare. Beet was the dominant crop and lettuce the dominated one. The lettuce and beet intercropping is highly viable when properly manured with biomass of M. aegyptia and C. procera, as they express agronomic and economic viability and sustainability in semi-arid environment.
