Chitosan (CS) blends with collagen (CL) and Aloe vera (AV) have gained significant attention in the biomedical field due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and potential for wound healing applications. In this study, we investigated the preparation and characterization of CS/CL and CS/AV blends using selective precipitation and co-precipitation techniques. The synthesis processes were analyzed for yield and 4-hydroxyproline content (in CS/CL blends). The materials were characterized using bromatological analyses, viscosity measurements, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These eco-friendly methods effectively promoted interactions between the biopolymers, resulting in homogeneous blends with tunable properties. Besides, they are simple, fast, safe, and require minimal infrastructure. This study demonstrated that selective precipitation and co-precipitation are effective methods for producing chitosan/collagen and chitosan/Aloe vera blends. These methods foster interactions and miscibility between the biopolymers, as confirmed by FTIR, XRD, viscosity, and 4-Hy content analyses. They also align with green chemistry principles by avoiding organic solvents, reducing environmental risks, and minimizing waste. The high yields achieved, especially for CS/AV blends (exceeding 96%), make these materials compatible with lyophilization procedures. The absence of segregated phases after appropriate washing underscores their suitability for pharmaceutical formulations and other applications.

In the Amazon, Euterpe oleracea Mart. (açaí), is part of the identity of traditional communities, and the fruit is integrated into their everyday sociocultural dynamics. Hydrolysis and pyrolysis of residual biomass can be alternatives to yield sugars, ethanol, biochar and bio-oil. The açaí seeds subjected to oxidative pretreatment followed by acid hydrolysis increased cellulose to fermentable sugars (reaching 23.5%) and second-generation ethanol production (17.441 L t−1). Açaí oil (ca. 30%) was extracted using a Soxhlet apparatus (using hexane as solvent) and detected through gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS), where acids accounted for 82.43% of the total composition, while alcohols comprised only 13.15%. For pyrolysis, temperatures (500 and 550 °C), time (20 and 30 min), and activation temperature (750 and 800 °C) were evaluated, resulting in yields of ca. 22% for biochar and 30% for bio-oil. For the bio-oil, the main compounds detected by GC-MS were acids (16.3%), aldehydes (13.08%), amides (12.19%), alcohols (6.72%), and phenols (4.64%). The obtained biochar displayed surface area values of 553.7 m2 g−1 and 10% crystallinity, indicating its more amorphous nature.

Abstract Objectives: Age at menarche (MA) is a proxy for biological maturation and a parameter of socioeconomic changes. Worldwide, anticipation of menarche is associated with nutritional transition and excess weight. The objective of this study was to evaluate the MA in Amazonian students and its association with nutritional status, ethnicity, and socioeconomic level. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 1,017 students aged 6 to 17 living in the city of Manaus, Brazil. MA was analyzed by status quo and recall; its association with body mass index (BMI), race, socioeconomic status, and adult height was examined. Results: 559 (51.9%) participants had already experienced menarche. In 91.7%, menarche occurred between 10 and 14 years of age; the mean age at the onset of menarche was 11.9 years. Overweight (11.6 years) and obese (11.4 years) participants reached menarche earlier than those with normal weight (12 years) and lean (12.7 years) participants. The associations between MA and nutritional status showed that overweight and obesity are risk factors for the early occurrence of menarche. MA was not associated with socioeconomic status/parental education or race. However, excess weight was associated with earlier MA in all races and social classes. The adult height was slightly lower in girls with menarche before 12 years old (157.9 vs 159.4 cm). Conclusion: Regardless of socioeconomic level or ethnicity, excess weight was associated with earlier menarche in Amazonian students.

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 Studies have highlighted numerous benefits of ozone therapy in the field of medicine and dentistry, including its antimicrobial efficacy against various pathogenic microorganisms, its ability to modulate the immune system effectively, reduce inflammation, prevent hypoxia, and support tissue regeneration. However, its effects on dental extraction healing remain to be elucidated. Objective Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of systemically administered ozone (O3) at different doses in the healing of dental extraction sockets in rats. Methodology To this end, 72 Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups after extraction of the right upper central incisor: Group C – control, no systemic treatment; Group OZ0.3 – animals received a single dose of 0.3 mg/kg O3; Group OZ0.7 – a single dose of 0.7 mg/kg O3; and Group OZ1.0 – a single dose of 1.0 mg/kg O3, intraperitoneally. In total, six animals from each group were euthanized at 7, 14, and 21 days after the commencement of treatment. Bone samples were harvested and further analyzed by descriptive histology, histomorphometry, and immunohistochemistry for osteocalcin (OCN) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) protein expression. Results All applied doses of O3 were shown to increase the percentage of bone tissue (PBT) after 21 days compared to group C. After 14 days, the OZ0.7 and OZ1.0 groups showed significantly higher PBT when compared to group C. The OZ1.0 group presented the most beneficial results regarding PBT among groups, which denotes a dose-dependent response. OCN immunostaining was higher in all groups at 21 days. However, after seven and 14 days, the OZ1.0 group showed a significant increase in OCN immunostaining compared to C group. No differences in TRAP+ osteoclasts were found between groups and time points. Conclusion Therefore, O3 therapy at higher doses might be beneficial for bone repair of the alveolar socket following tooth extraction. dentistry microorganisms effectively inflammation hypoxia regeneration However elucidated Therefore O (O3 end 7 incisor control treatment OZ03 OZ OZ0 3 OZ0. 03 0 0. mgkg mg kg OZ07 07 OZ10 OZ1 OZ1. 10 1 1. intraperitoneally total 2 histology histomorphometry (OCN tartrateresistant tartrate resistant TRAP (TRAP expression (PBT dosedependent dependent response points (O

Resumo O transporte de peixes vivos é uma prática comum na piscicultura, e é certamente um dos principais problemas que afetam a homeostase dos peixes e neste cenário o uso de aditivos naturais tem-se mostrado promissor para melhorar a resistência dos peixes frente a situações adversas. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto do óleo essencial de Ocimum gratissimum L. (OEOG) na qualidade de água, perfil hematológico e níveis de resíduos no plasma, filé e fígado de juvenis de piraputanga (Brycon hilarii) durante um período de transporte de duas horas. Os peixes foram divididos em sacos plásticos (4 L) e expostos a três concentrações diferentes de OE OG (10, 20 e 30 mg L-1) enquanto um grupo não recebeu OEOG. Cada grupo com três repetições. Após o transporte de duas horas, foram coletadas amostras de sangue, bem como de filé e do fígado para a quantificação dos compostos do óleo essencial, que também foram mensurados no plasma. Os níveis de oxigênio permaneceram elevados durante todo o período do transporte, em todos os grupos, enquanto o pH diminuiu. A hemoglobina, CHCM e HCM aumentaram nos peixes dos grupos EOOG 20 e 30 mg L-1, em comparação ao grupo controle. No entanto, a contagem dos linfócitos e as concentrações decompostos no plasma, filé e fígado aumentaram com a concentração mais elevada de OEOG. O uso de 10 mg L-1 de OGEO na água de transporte de duas horas é promissor para garantir a sobrevivência e o bem-estar dos juvenis de Brycon hilarii (pesando 16 g), mostrando-se seguro e eficaz.

Abstract Transporting live fish is a common practice in fish farming, and is certainly one of the main problems that affect fish homeostasis. In this scenario, the use of natural additives has shown promise in improving fish resistance to adverse situations. This study aimed to assess the impact of Ocimum gratissimum L. essential oil (OGEO) on water quality, hematological parameters, and residue levels in the plasma, fillet, and liver of juvenile piraputanga (Brycon hilarii) during a two-hour transportation period. The fish were divided into plastic bags (4 L) and exposed to three different OGEO concentrations (10, 20, and 30 mg L-1), while a control group received no OGEO (three repetitions each). After the two-hour transportation, blood samples were collected, as well as portions of the fillet and liver for quantifying essential oil compounds, which were also measured in the plasma. Oxygen levels remained high throughout the transportation period, in all groups, while the pH decreased. Hemoglobin, MCHC, and MCH increased in fish exposed to OGEO concentrations of 20 and 30 mg L-1, compared to the control group. However, lymphocyte counts and the concentrations of essential oil compounds in plasma, fillet, and liver increased with higher OGEO concentrations. The use of 10 mg L-1 OGEO in the two-hour transport water is promising to ensure the survival and well-being of Brycon hilarii juveniles (weighing 16 g), showing to be safe and effective.

Industrial waste products are of biotechnological interest due to their abundance and can be utilized as protein sources for the production of bioactive peptides through hydrolysis. The utilization of yeast residues from the brewing industry has been demonstrated to be a viable method for obtaining protein hydrolysates. The degree of hydrolysis and soluble total protein of the hydrolysates were evaluated for optimization purposes to achieve a product with a high proportion of soluble organic nitrogen, increased levels of bioactive peptides and amino acids. Both alkaline and enzymatic hydrolysis processes were tested. The hydrolyses were carried out with the aim of large-scale implementation. The treatments were effective in liberating intracellular content and producing biologically functional hydrolysates, with degree of hydrolysis values ranging from 28 to 63% and total protein from 2.95 to 8.28% at the optimum points confrmed by statistical analysis (analysis of variance (ANOVA)). The hydrolysate produced with Alcalase® exhibited the highest peptide intensity, while the hydrolysate produced with Flavourzyme® showed the highest concentration of free amino acids. The peptides were identifed by mass spectrometry and were found to have biological activities according to the Biopep database. This study presents a quick and economically feasible approach for the implementation of a pilot project for the reuse of this waste. nitrogen acids tested largescale large scale 2 63 295 95 2.9 828 8 8.28 ANOVA.

Abstract This study compares the physicochemical characteristics of breast meat (Pectoralis major) from conventional chicken and free-range chicken production systems. Analyses of pH, instrumental color measurement, weight loss from cooking (WLC), and water retention capacity (WRC) were carried out. Average pH values were slightly higher for conventional chicken samples. WLC did not show a significant difference between conventional and free-range chicken samples. The WRC was better and higher for the free-range chicken samples than the conventional ones. The mean values for luminosity (L*) were within the normal range, with slightly higher values for conventional chicken. In chromatids a* and b*, there was a tendency towards a more reddish color for free-range chicken samples. The differences found for types of production can be explained mainly by the difference in age at slaughter, the degree of physical activity, animal feeding, among other characteristics that differentiate an animal raised by the extensive system from the intensive system.

Resumo O morango (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) é uma fruta altamente perecível cujas características o tornam suscetível ao desenvolvimento de microrganismos. Extratos vegetais têm sido estudados como alternativa aos agrotóxicos para o controle de microrganismos deteriorantes, atendendo a expectativa da população que busca um estilo de vida mais saudável. O fungo Botrytis cinerea é um patógeno facultativo de hortaliças, podendo afetar todas as fases do desenvolvimento de diversas frutas, como o morango, onde causa a podridão cinzenta. Trichilia catigua (catuaba), Paullinia cupana (guarana), Stryphnodendron barbatiman (barbatimão) e Caesalpinia peltophoroides (sibipiruna) são plantados na flora brasileira e têm demonstrado propriedades farmacológicas em seus extratos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo tratar morangos com filme biodegradável contendo extratos dessas espécies para avaliar a conservação do morango. Houve diferenças significativas entre as amostras de extrato e controle para perda de massa. Os parâmetros pH, acidez titulável e sólidos solúveis mantiveram a mesma média significativa entre as amostras. Houve aumento da luminosidade ao longo dos dias nos parâmetros de cor, exceto nos morangos revestidos com guaraná. A cor vermelha foi mais acentuada, exceto para os revestidos com extrato de barbatimão. Considerando os resultados, é possível concluir que os revestimentos utilizados podem se tornar uma alternativa para potencializar a conservação dos morangos. Fragaria Duch.

Abstract Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) is a highly perishable fruit whose characteristics make it susceptible to developing microorganisms. Plant extracts have been studied as an alternative to pesticides to control spoilage microorganisms, responding to the expectation of the population seeking a healthier way of life. The fungus Botrytis cinerea is a facultative pathogen of vegetables, which can affect all stages of the development of several fruits, such as the strawberry, where it causes gray rot. Trichilia catigua (catuaba), Paullinia cupana (guarana), Stryphnodendron barbatiman (barbatimão), and Caesalpinia peltophoroides (sibipiruna) are planted in the Brazilian flora and have demonstrated pharmacological properties in their extracts. This work aimed to treat strawberries with a biodegradable film containing extracts of these species to evaluate strawberry conservation. There were notable distinctions in mass loss between the extract-treated and control samples. The pH, total acidity (TA), and soluble solids parameters exhibited consistently significant means across both sets of samples. Luminosity increased over the course of days in the color parameters, with the exception of strawberries coated with guarana. The red color showed greater intensity, except for those coated with barbatimão extract. Considering the results, it is possible to conclude that the coatings used can become an alternative to enhance the conservation of strawberries. Fragaria Duch.

Abstract The effect of graphene oxide (GO) on the concrete quality and the corrosion resistance of carbon steel reinforcement was evaluated. The concrete mix was calculated at a ratio of 1: 1.86: 2.14: 0.46 (cement: sand: gravel: water); the dosages of GO were 0.03 wt.% and 0.05 wt.% and the superplasticizer (PC) concentration was 0.6 wt.% concerning the cement mass. Compressive strength tests (7, 28, and 91 days), water absorption tests, determination of voids index (WATIDVI), ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) testing, and optical microscopy analysis were carried out. All concrete samples showed excellent compactness and low porosity. Open circuit potential measurements and linear polarization resistance (LPR) were performed during 15 cycles of partial immersion and drying of concrete in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. A beneficial effect of 0.03 wt.% of GO addition on the corrosion resistance of the reinforced concrete was identified in the saline medium and the corrosion inhibition efficiency obtained was 79.3%.

AISI 420 steel samples were subjected to three heat treatment conditions: annealed, hardened, and tempered at 400°C, followed by low-temperature nitriding using N2, H2, and varying Ar proportions in a pulsed DC glow discharge. The study aimed to investigate the impact of varying Ar content (10–50 vol.%) on glow discharge characteristics and surface properties of nitrided samples, using an 80% N2 + 20% H2 base gas mixture. The samples underwent characterization including optical microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, microhardness, and roughness measurements. Plasma characterization was conducted using optical emission spectroscopy. The results indicated that higher Ar concentrations led to increased thickness of the nitrided layer (up to 67%), as well as hardness (up to 14%) and surface roughness (up to 50%). These improvements stemmed from increased Ar-based species bombardment on the surface, enhancing the cleaning effect of surface oxides. This facilitated nitrogen adsorption onto the steel surface, increasing the atomic nitrogen concentration in the outermost layer of the steel. The increased nitrogen concentration facilitated diffusion, resulting in significant physical-chemical reactions at the surface-plasma interface. These reactions, including sputtering, molecule dissociation, and recombination, led to enhanced high-diffusivity pathways within the martensitic microstructures of both the as-hardened and 400°C-tempered samples. 42 conditions annealed hardened 400C C 400 400°C lowtemperature low temperature N H 10–50 1050 10 50 (10–5 vol.% vol 80 20 mixture microscopy Xray X ray diffractometry microhardness measurements spectroscopy up 67%, 67 67% , 67%) 14% 14 50%. 50% . 50%) Arbased based oxides diffusion physicalchemical physical chemical surfaceplasma plasma interface sputtering dissociation recombination highdiffusivity high diffusivity ashardened 400°Ctempered 400Ctempered Ctempered 4 40 10–5 105 1 5 (10– vol. 8 2 6 10– (10 (1 (

Jaboticaba (Plinia sp.), a nutritionally significant Brazilian fruit, is rich in phenolic compounds, such as catechin, known for its biological and pharmaceutical properties. Extracting and studying these compounds is an economic and environmental strategy to fully explore the great potential that these chemical compounds have. Therefore, this study focuses on developing a semi-automated solid-phase extraction method using molecularly imprinted polymer for catechin analysis in jaboticaba peel extracts, coupled with an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector. The reported polymer demonstrated superior extractor capacity compared to the non-imprinted polymer. Different extraction parameters were optimized, and the method exhibited a linear range of 10 to 100 µg mL-1 for catechin. The obtained precision with the coefficient of variation was below 7.3%, and the limits of quantification and detection were 12.4 and 4.1 µg mL 1, respectively. The developed sorbent maintained analytical performance through approximately 40 injections. Results suggest that the reported method could efficiently extract catechin from jaboticaba peels in less than 10 min, providing a promising tool for the rapid investigation of natural products. This selective and sustainable approach demonstrated here contributes to the economic and environmental aspects of catechin extraction and analysis in jaboticaba fruit.

Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos da suplementação de Ocimum basilicum em Piaractus mesopotamicus em relação ao desempenho produtivo, morfologia intestinal, resíduo muscular e alterações hematológicas após estresse de transporte simulado. Juvenis (23 g ± 0,08, n = 180) foram distribuídos em tanques de 300 L em três tratamentos e seis repetições cada: uma dieta controle, uma dieta com 0,5% de óleo essencial de O. basilicum e uma dieta com 0,5% de extrato aquoso de O. basilicum. Após 45 dias, o peso e comprimento foram medidos, e os peixes foram submetidos a um transporte simulado de 4 horas para avaliar as respostas ao estresse e os possíveis efeitos das dietas. Os principais componentes do óleo essencial foram metil chavicol (70,81%) e linalol (22,04%), enquanto o extrato aquoso continha níveis de tanino de 262,59 ± 24 mg kg-1. A taxa de retenção do óleo essencial foi de cerca de 50%, enquanto a retenção do extrato aquoso variou entre 77 e 82%. Os resultados não mostraram efeito significativo do manjericão no desempenho produtivo dos peixes. Os peixes suplementados com o extrato aquoso exibiram uma altura da mucosa intestinal menor em comparação aos outros grupos. Além disso, os peixes transportados apresentaram concentrações de glicose no sangue, ainda maiores em peixes suplementados com o extrato aquoso. Concluiu-se que a suplementação com 0,5% de manjericão, seja como óleo essencial ou extrato aquoso, não beneficiou o desempenho produtivo, a morfologia intestinal ou reduziu o estresse de transporte em pacu. 23 (2 008 0 08 0,08 180 30 cada controle 05 5 0,5 O dias medidos dietas 70,81% 7081 70 81 (70,81% 22,04%, 2204 22,04% , 22 04 (22,04%) 26259 262 59 262,5 2 kg1. kg1 kg 1. 1 kg-1 50 50% 7 82 82% grupos disso sangue Concluiuse Concluiu se pacu ( 00 0,0 18 3 0, 70,81 708 8 (70,81 220 22,04 (22,04% 2625 26 262, kg- 70,8 (70,8 22,0 (22,04 70, (70, 22, (22,0 (70 (22, (7 (22
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Ocimum basilicum supplementation in the diet for Piaractus mesopotamicus regarding productive performance, intestinal morphology, muscle residue, and hematological changes after simulated transport stress. Juvenile (23 g±0.08, n = 180) were stocked into 300-L tanks in three treatments and six replicates each: a control diet (not supplemented), a diet with 0.5% essential oil of O. basilicum and a diet with 0.5% aqueous extract of O. basilicum. After 45 days, weight and length were measured, and the fish were submitted to a 4-hour simulated transport to assess the stress responses and the possible effects of the experimental diets on them. The main components of the essential oil were methyl chavicol (70.81%) and linalool (22.04%), while the aqueous extract contained tannin levels of 262.59±24 mg kg-1. The retention rate of the essential oil was about 50%, while the aqueous extract retention varied between 77 and 82%. The results showed no significant effect of basil on the productive performance of the fish. Fish supplemented with the aqueous extract exhibited a lower intestinal mucosal height compared to other groups. Additionally, transported fish showed increased blood glucose concentrations even higher in fish supplemented with the aqueous extract. It was concluded that supplementation with 0.5% basil, either as essential oil or aqueous extract, did not benefit productive performance, intestinal morphology, or reduce transport stress in pacu. morphology residue 23 (2 g008 g 0 08 g±0.08 180 300L L 300 each supplemented, , supplemented) 05 5 0.5 O 4 days measured 4hour hour them 70.81% 7081 70 81 (70.81% 22.04%, 2204 22.04% 22 04 (22.04%) 2625924 262 59 24 262.59±2 kg1. kg1 kg 1. 1 kg-1 50 50% 7 82 82% groups Additionally pacu 2 ( g00 g±0.0 18 30 0. 70.81 708 8 (70.81 220 22.04 (22.04% 262592 26 262.59± kg- g0 g±0. 3 70.8 (70.8 22.0 (22.04 26259 262.59 g±0 70.
