Abstract Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB (MPS IIIB) is caused by deficiency of alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase, leading to storage of heparan sulphate. The disease is characterized by intellectual disability and hyperactivity, among other neurological and somatic features. Here we studied retrospective data from a total of 19 MPS IIIB patients from Brazil, aiming to evaluate disease progression. Mean age at diagnosis was 7.2 years. Speech delay was one of the first symptoms to be identified, around 2-3 years of age. Behavioral alterations include hyperactivity and aggressiveness, starting around age four. By the end of the first decade, patients lost acquired abilities such as speech and ability to walk. Furthermore, as disease progresses, respiratory, cardiovascular and joint abnormalities were found in more than 50% of the patients, along with organomegaly. Most common cause of death was respiratory problems. The disease progression was characterized in multiple systems, and hopefully these data will help the design of appropriate clinical trials and clinical management guidelines. alphaNacetylglucosaminidase, alphaNacetylglucosaminidase alpha N acetylglucosaminidase, acetylglucosaminidase alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase sulphate features 1 Brazil 72 7 2 7. identified 23 3 2- aggressiveness four decade walk Furthermore progresses 50 organomegaly problems systems guidelines 5

Abstract Background Patients with immune-mediated rheumatic diseases (IMRDs) have been prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination to mitigate the infection severity risks. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are at a high risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes, especially those under immunosuppression or with associated comorbidities. However, few studies have assessed the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine in patients with RA. Objective To evaluate the safety of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 in patients with RA. Methods This data are from the study “Safety and Efficacy on COVID-19 Vaccine in Rheumatic Diseases,” a Brazilian multicentric prospective phase IV study to evaluate COVID-19 vaccine in IMRDs in Brazil. Adverse events (AEs) in patients with RA of all centers were assessed after two doses of ChAdOx1 (Oxford/AstraZeneca) or CoronaVac (Sinovac/Butantan). Stratification of postvaccination AEs was performed using a diary, filled out daily and returned at the end of 28 days for each dose. Results A total of 188 patients with RA were include, 90% female. CoronaVac was used in 109 patients and ChAdOx1 in 79. Only mild AEs were observed, mainly after the first dose. The most common AEs after the first dose were pain at the injection (46,7%), headache (39,4%), arthralgia (39,4%), myalgia (30,5%) and fatigue (26,6%), and ChAdOx1 had a higher frequency of pain at the injection (66% vs 32 %, p < 0.001) arthralgia (62% vs 22%, p < 0.001) and myalgia (45% vs 20%, p < 0.001) compared to CoronaVac. The more common AEs after the second dose were pain at the injection (37%), arthralgia (31%), myalgia (23%), headache (21%) and fatigue (18%). Arthralgia (41,4% vs 25%, p = 0.02) and pain at injection (51,4% vs 27%, p = 0.001) were more common with ChAdOx1. No serious AEs were related. With Regard to RA activity level, no significant difference was observed between the three time periods for both COVID-19 vaccines. Conclusion In the comparison between the two immunizers in patients with RA, local reactions and musculoskeletal symptoms were more frequent with ChAdOx1 than with CoronaVac, especially after the first dose. In summary, the AE occurred mainly after the first dose, and were mild, like previous data from others immunizing agents in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract In this study, we investigated the effects of the Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) in an agrisystem located in the Brazilian Midwest. This PES benefits the owners of rural properties that encompass springs that feed the Abóbora River microbasin which supplies water for consumption in the city of Rio Verde, Goiás. We evaluated the percentage of native vegetation cover around the springs of the watercourses and also estimated its change over time (2005, 2011 and 2017). The vegetation cover of the Areas of Permanent Preservation (APP) increased by 2.24% on average, seven years after the implantation of the PES. There was little difference in the change of vegetation cover maintained over the study years (2005, 2011, and 2017), however, the vegetation cover increased for 17 springs, decreased for 11 springs, and was completely degraded for other two. To improve the performance of this PES, we recommend (1) expanding the program to include the APPs surrounding the springs, together with the legal reserves of each property, (2) implementing measures to ensure that properties are environmentally adequate, (3) including the properties in the Brazilian Rural Environment Register (CAR), and (4) obtaining environmental licensing for the activities undertaken within the Abóbora River basin.

Abstract Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has altered clinical genetic testing by widening the access to molecular diagnosis of genetically determined rare diseases. However, physicians may face difficulties selecting the best diagnostic approach. Our goal is to estimate the rate of possible molecular diagnoses missed by different targeted gene panels using data from a cohort of patients with rare genetic diseases diagnosed with exome sequencing (ES). For this purpose, we simulated a comparison between different targeted gene panels and ES: the list of genes harboring clinically relevant variants from 158 patients was used to estimate the theoretical rate of diagnoses missed by NGS panels from 53 different NGS panels from eight different laboratories. Panels presented a mean rate of missed diagnoses of 64% (range 14%-100%) compared to ES, representing an average predicted sensitivity of 36%. Metabolic abnormalities represented the group with highest mean of missed diagnoses (86%), while seizure represented the group with lowest mean (46%). Focused gene panels are restricted in covering select sets of genes implicated in specific diseases and they may miss molecular diagnoses of rare diseases compared to ES. However, their role in genetic diagnosis remains important especially for well-known genetic diseases with established genetic locus heterogeneity.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar efeitos de um protocolo misto de exercícios físicos sobre o risco cardiovascular (RCV), qualidade de vida e presença de sintomas depressivos em idosos hipertensos. Estudo longitudinal, prospectivo e quase-experimental com 48 idosos. Desenvolveu-se um protocolo de exercícios físicos durante 16 semanas, segundo American College Sports of Medicine e foram realizadas avaliações antropométricas (peso, estatura, índice de massa corporal e circunferência da cintura) e bioquímicas (colesterol total, LDL-c, HDL-c; triglicerídeos). A média de idade foi de 66,5±4,8 anos. Os fatores de RCV frequentes foram dislipidemia (58,3%) e sedentarismo (45,8%). Após intervenção houve redução dos valores médios de colesterol total e LDL-colesterol e aumentaram níveis de HDL-colesterol. O RCV e a pontuação do escore de risco global diminuíram significativamente. A frequência de sintomas depressivos reduziu de 25% para 4,2%. Observou-se melhora nos domínios do SF-36: físico, saúde e vitalidade. O protocolo misto de exercícios físicos constituiu-se em alternativa possível, de baixo custo e eficaz na melhora do perfil lipídico e da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde dos idosos desta pesquisa.

Abstract The scope of this article is to evaluate the effects of a mixed protocol of physical exercises on cardiovascular risk (CVR), quality of life and the presence of depressive symptoms in elderly hypertensive patients. It involved a longitudinal, prospective and quasi-experimental study with 48 elderly individuals. A physical exercise protocol was developed for 16 weeks according to American College of Sports Medicine, and anthropometric variables (weight, height, body mass index and waist circumference), as well as biochemical variables (total cholesterol, LDL-c, HDL-c; triglycerides) were evaluated. The mean age was 66.5±4.8 years. The frequent CVR factors were dyslipidemia (58.3%) and sedentary lifestyle (45.8%). After intervention, there was a reduction in mean values of total and LDL-cholesterol and increased HDL-cholesterol levels. The CVR and global risk score decreased significantly. The frequency of depressive symptoms decreased from 25% to 4.2%. An improvement was observed in SF-36 physical, health and vitality domains. The mixed protocol of physical exercises constituted a possible low cost and effective alternative in the improvement of the lipid profile and the quality of life related to the health of the elderly who participated in this research.

RESUMO: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o desempenho zootécnico, a mucosa intestinal, a resistência ao estresse e a reação à infestação pelo parasita Ichthyophthirius multifiliis em larvas de jundiá Rhamdia quelen suplementadas com óleo essencial de Mentha piperita ou butirato de sódio em suas dietas. Foram utilizadas cinco dietas por 30 dias: dieta livre de inclusão de aditivos, 0% (controle); inclusão de 1% ou 2% de óleo essencial de M. piperita, EO1% e EO2%, respectivamente; e inclusão de 0,25% ou 0,50% de butirato de sódio, SB0.25% e SB0.50%, respectivamente. As diferentes dietas não foram capazes de inibir a infestação por I. multifiliis. A suplementação com SB0.50% em suas dietas apresentou melhor desempenho em todos os parâmetros zootécnicos analisados, incluindo um aumento do peso final em 54% e a sobrevivência em 70%, e aumentou (P<0,05) a largura das vilosidades e a quantidade de células caliciformes presentes na mucosa intestinal em aproximadamente 50%. Em vista desses resultados, recomenda-se a suplementação dietética de larvas de R. quelen com butirato de sódio a 0,50% por 30 dias.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the zootechnical performance, intestinal mucosa, and reaction to infestation by the parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis in jundiá Rhamdia quelen larvae supplemented with Mentha piperita essential oil or sodium butyrate in their diets. Five diets were used over 30 days: diet free of additive inclusion, 0% (control); inclusion of 1% or 2% of M. piperita essential oil: EO1% and EO2%, respectively; and inclusion of 0.25% or 0.50% of sodium butyrate: SB0.25% and SB0.50%, respectively. The different diets were not able to inhibit I. multifiliis infestation. Supplementation with SB0.50% in their diets presented better performance in all zootechnical parameters analyzed, including a 54% increase in final weight and 70% in survival, and increased (P<0.05) both the villi width and the amount of goblet cells present in the intestinal mucosa by approximately 50%. In view of these results, dietary supplementation of R. quelen larvae with 0.50% sodium butyrate for 30 days is recommended.

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a toxicidade e o potencial como anestésico do óleo essencial de hortelã-pimenta (Mentha piperita) para juvenis de jundiá (Rhamdia quelen). Para determinar a concentração letal em 4 horas (CL50-4h), 210 peixes (3,08±0,8 g e 7,59±0,67 cm) foram expostos a 0, 20, 50, 80, 110 e 140 mg L-1 do óleo essencial. Para avaliar o potencial anestésico, nove peixes foram individualmente expostos à cada concentração (50, 80, 110 e 140 mg L-1) de óleo utilizada. Os parâmetros de qualidade da água foram controlados. A taxa de mortalidade e a severidade e a abrangência das lesões branquiais de juvenis de jundiá em 4 horas de exposição cresceu com o aumento da concentração do óleo essencial de hortelã-pimenta, com CL50-4h estimada em 75,06 mg L-1. As principais lesões branquiais foram: congestão do seio venoso da lamela primária e na base da lamela secundária; hiperplasia interlamelar e com fusão das lamelas; descolamento do epitélio; dilatação do seio venoso; edema justalamelar; e aneurisma. Entretanto, esse óleo é eficiente anestésico para juvenis de jundiá na concentração de 80 mg L-1, com reduzido tempo de anestesia (<4 min) e de recuperação (<10 min), sem mortalidade.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate peppermint (Mentha piperita) essential oil toxicity to and potential as an anesthetic for juvenile silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen). To determine the lethal concentration at 4 hours (LC50-4h), 210 fish (3.08±0.8 g and 7.59±0.67 cm) were exposed to 0, 20, 50, 80, 110, and 140 mg L-1 essential oil. To evaluate the anesthetic potential, nine fish were individually exposed to each oil concentration (50, 80, 110, and 140 mg L-1) used. Water quality parameters were controlled. The mortality rate and the severity and extent of the gill injuries of silver catfish juveniles at 4 hours of exposure increased with increasing peppermint essential oil concentrations, with LC50-4h estimated to be 75.06 mg L-1. The main gill injuries were: congestion of the venous sinus of the primary lamella and at the base of the secondary lamella; interlamellar hyperplasia with fusion of lamellae; epithelial detachment; dilation of the venous sinus; edema adjacent to the lamella; and aneurysm. However, this oil is an effective anesthetic for silver catfish juveniles at the concentration of 80 mg L-1, with a short time of anesthesia (<4 min) and recovery (<10 min), with no mortality.

Objetivo: Muitos trabalhos mostraram uma associação entre doenças da tireoide e síndrome de Sjögren primária (pSS) . O objetivo do nosso estudo foi avaliar os resultados dos testes utilizados para o diagnóstico de olho seco e envolvimento das glândulas salivares em pacientes com tireoidite autoimune. Métodos: Quarenta e dois pacientes (grupo 1) com doença autoimune da tireoide e 30 controles (grupo 2 ) foram selecionados. Nos dois grupos foi realizada a mesma sequência de exames: tempo de ruptura do filme lacrimal, teste de Schimer I, teste de Schirmer II, avaliação da córnea e conjuntiva com corante de Rosa Bengala. Também foi realizado cintilografia da glândula salivar para avaliar seu envolvimento. Resultados: Em relação aos danos na superfície ocular observado pelo teste rosa bengala não houve diferença entre os grupos (p=0,77), o mesmo ocorrendo no tempo de ruptura do filme lacrimal (p=0,46) e na cintilografia da glândula salivar (p=0,99). Apenas no teste de Schirmer II houve diferença estatística significante (p=0,0009). Conclusão: Nenhum paciente cumpriu todos os critérios para a síndrome de Sjögren. É possível que este resultado esteja subestimado.

Purpose: Many reports have indicated an association between thyroid dieases and primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS). The aim of our study was to evaluate the outcomes of the tests used for dry eye diagnosis and salivary gland involvement in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis. Methods: Forty-two patients (group 1) with autoimmune thyroid disease and 30 controls (group 2) were selected. Tear film break up time, Schirmer I test, Schirmer II test, ocular staining with 1% rose Bengal and salivary gland cintilography were performed in both groups. Results: Regarding the ocular surface damage observed by Rose Bengal test there was no difference between groups (p=0.77). For tear film break up time the groups did not differ statistically (p=0.46). There was no statistical difference between groups 1 and control in scintigraphy of the salivary gland (p=0.99). A statistical difference between the patients with thyroid disease and the control group was seem only in the Schirmer II test (p=0.0009). Conclusions: No patients fulfilled all criteria for Sjögren’s syndrome. It is possible that it could be underestimated.

Abstract: Pt En | Text: Pt En | PDF: Pt | PDF: En

A ansiedade dos atletas nos momentos pré-competitivos coloca em cena as emoções, capazes de provocar comportamentos positivos e/ou negativos que influenciarão no desempenho dos mesmos. O estudo objetivou identificar as emoções negativas e positivas em jovens atletas de nado sincronizado e, assim, compreender os sentimentos vivenciados nos momentos que antecedem uma competição. A amostra foi composta por 19 atletas (sexo feminino) de nado sincronizado com idades entre 12 e 19 anos. Os instrumentos foram: Ficha de Identificação Sociodemográfica e Inventário de Ansiedade Traço e Estado (IDATE). Os dados foram analisados por meio do SPSS versão 10.0. Em seguida, os resultados foram expostos de forma descritiva, utilizando a técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Para construção dos diagramas, foi utilizado o software GoDiagram Express v.2.6.2. Os resultados apontaram que as atletas estão vulneráveis a fatores emocionais positivos (Realização Pessoal, Tranquilidade Ambiental e Equilíbrio Emocional) e/ou negativos (Preocupação, Ansiedade, Obstáculos e Desânimo/Cansaço).

The anxiety of athletes in the pre-competitive stage puts in evidence the emotions and behaviors that can cause positive and/or negative influence on their performance. The study aimed to identify negative and positive emotions in young synchronized swimmers and thus understand the feelings experienced in moments before a competition. The sample consisted of 19 synchronized swimmers aged between 12 and 19 years. The instruments were: Sociodemographic Identification Form and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Data were analyzed using SPSS 10.0. The results were presented in a descriptive way, using the content analysis technique. For constructing the diagrams it was used the software GoDiagram Express 2.6.2. The results showed that athletes are vulnerable to emotional factors whether positive (Personal Achievement, Environmental Tranquility and Emotional Balance) and/or negative (Worry, Anxiety, Obstacles and Discouragement/fatigue).

Abstract: Pt En | Text: Pt En | PDF: Pt | PDF: En

Descrição de nove casos de anestesia congênita de córnea, sendo que desses, seis apresentavam alterações sistêmicas associadas ao quadro ocular. Três pacientes realizaram eletroneuromiografia, um sem alteração ao exame e dois com alteração isolada do ramo oftálmico do nervo trigêmeo bilateralmente. Dois pacientes tinham acuidade visual inicial melhor que 20/60 no início da avaliação e seis tinham acuidade visual final melhor que 20/60 na última visita. Todos foram submetidos a algum tipo de tratamento cirúrgico e evoluíram com opacidades corneana de tamanho variável. O tratamento dos pacientes com anestesia congênita de córnea deve ser realizado o mais precoce possível e de forma rigorosa a fim de evitar danos à transparência corneana. Investigação sistêmica, acompanhamento de perto e preparação familiar para tratamento a longo prazo e multidisciplinar são necessários para preservar a saúde ocular.

Case series of nine patients with congenital corneal anesthesia, six of them showed systemic changes in association with the ocular status. Three patients were submitted to electromyography, two showed isolated bilateral ophthalmic ramus alteration. Two patients had initial visual acuity better than 20/60 and six had final best corrected visual acuity better than 20/60 at the last visit. All of them were treated surgically and developed cornea opacities of variable sizes. Treatment of corneal congenital anesthesia must be performed as soon as possible to avoid corneal opacification. Systemic investigation, close follow-up and preparing the family for longterm and multidisciplinary approach are crucial to maintain the ocular health.

Abstract: Pt En | Text: Pt En | PDF: Pt | PDF: En

Foram coletados dados de peso do ovo, altura de albúmen, espessura da casca, peso corporal e produção total de ovos aos 90 dias de postura de três linhagens de codornas de postura (Coturnix coturnix japonica) alimentadas com rações contendo 2.900 ou 2.500 kcal de energia metabolizável para verificar a existência da interação genótipo X ambiente. Utilizou-se o programa computacional MTGSAM, que permite inferência bayesiana, usando amostragem de Gibbs, aplicado a um modelo animal, para estimar os componentes de covariâncias, herdabilidade e correlações genéticas entre os dois ambientes. Por meio dos resultados de herdabilidade e correlações genéticas, concluiu-se que houve interação genótipo X ambiente somente para as características altura de albúmen e espessura da casca. As características peso do ovo e peso corporal são passíveis de ganhos genéticos, independentemente do nível de energia da ração, enquanto a produção de ovos tem baixo potencial para ganhos genéticos se a seleção for baseada em recordes parciais.

Data of egg weight, albumen height, shell thickness, body weight and egg production at 90 days of laying from three lines of laying quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica), fed diets with 2,900 kcal or 2,500 kcal metabolizable energy, were used to check the existence of the genotype-environmental interaction. The MTGSAM software program was used, which allows Bayesian inference, using the Gibbs Sampling, applied to an animal model, to estimate the co-variance components, heritability and genetic correlation between both environments. The results of heritability and genetic correlations showed that there was a genotype-environment interaction only for albumen height and shell thickness. The traits egg weight and body weight are susceptible to genetic gains regardless of the diet energy level, while egg production has low potential for genetic gains if the selection is based on partial records.

OBJETIVO: Comparar dois métodos de preservação de esclera humana, liofilização e álcool 95%, em diferentes períodos de tempo. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados 96 fragmentos de seis escleras humanas. Metade das amostras foi submetida ao processo de liofilização e metade conservada em álcool 95%. Dois fragmentos de cada grupo foram avaliados pelas colorações de hematoxilina-eosina e tricrômio de Masson e submetidos a técnica de imuno-histoquímica para os anticorpos fibronectina e colágeno 1, após 18, 45, 90 e 174 dias de preservação. Os espécimens foram classificados de acordo com o paralelismo (PF:0-2) e integridade (IF:0-1) das fibras de colágeno e expressão imuno-histoquímica para os anticorpos fibronectina (FIB:0-3) e colágeno 1 (COL-1:0-3). A análise estatística foi realizada por meio dos testes de Friedman e Wilcoxon e o valor de p menor que 0,05 foi considerado estatisticamente significante. RESULTADOS: Verificaram-se diferenças significantes em três situações: (i) maior integridade das fibras de colágeno das escleras liofilizadas após 174 dias quando comparado aos 90 dias; (ii) maior expressão imuno-histoquímica para o anticorpo COL-1 nas amostras de escleras liofilizadas após os 18 dias iniciais de preservação; (iii) maior integridade das fibras de colágeno das escleras liofilizadas após 18 e 174 dias quando comparado às escleras preservadas em álcool. CONCLUSÕES: A preservação de tecido escleral por liofilização mostrou-se técnica tão eficaz quanto a preservação em álcool, apresentado vantagem quando considerada a integridade das fibras de colágeno. A liofilização mostra-se benéfica por permitir a estocagem do tecido em temperatura ambiente e com prazo de validade estendido.

PURPOSE: To compare the effect of preserving sclera samples in either 95% ethanol or freeze-dried. METHODS: Ninety-six samples of human sclera were studied. Half of them were freeze-dried and half preserved in 95% ethanol. Preservation periods of 18, 45, 90 or 174 days were studied. Automated immunostaining was carried out in the Ventana BenchMarkR LT platform using collagen 1 and fibronectin antibodies. Histological staining was also performed with hematoxilin-eosin and Masson trichrome. Samples were classified according to the degree of collagen fiber parallelism (0-2), intensity of Masson staining (0-2), and the expression of both antibodies (0-3). Friedman and Wilcoxon tests were applied to compare preservation methods and p-values below 0.05 were considered to ensure statistical significance. RESULTS: Relevant results were found in three situations: (i) Friedman's test showed better collagen fiber integrity in the freeze-dried group rehydrated after 174-days as compared to the 90-day group; (ii) Wilcoxon's test showed better collagen fiber integrity in the freeze-dried group after 18 and 174 days as compared to the ethanol group; (iii) the freeze-dried group disclosed higher immunohistochemical expression for COL-1 antibody in the sclera samples rehydrated after 45, 90 and 174 days as compared to the ones rehydrated after 18 days. CONCLUSION: Histological and immunohistochemical analysis showed freeze-drying to be a superior method for sclera preservation as compared to 95% ethanol. This technique provides an easy method to manipulate tissue, with longer shelf life, and storage at room temperature.
