Abstract Objectives Evidence suggests that ketamine’s influence on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) might be involved in its mechanism of rapid antidepressant action. We aimed to evaluate the differential impact of ketamine and esketamine on serum BDNF levels and its association with response patterns in treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Methods Participants (n = 53) are from a randomized, double-blind clinical trial comparing the efficacy of single-dose ketamine (0.5mg/kg, n = 27) and esketamine (0.25mg/kg, n = 26) in TRD. Depression severity was assessed before and 24 hours, 72 hours, and 7 days after the intervention, using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). Blood samples were collected before infusion, 24 hours, and 7 days afterwards. Results There were no significant changes in BDNF levels at post-infusion evaluation points, and no difference in BDNF levels comparing ketamine and esketamine. Both drugs exhibited similar therapeutic effect. There was no association between BDNF levels and response to treatment or severity of depressive symptoms. Conclusion There was no significant treatment impact on BDNF serum levels – neither with ketamine nor esketamine – despite therapeutic response. These results suggest that ketamine or esketamine intervention for TRD has no impact on BDNF levels measured at 24 hours and 7 days after the infusion. This clinical trial is registered on the Japan Primary Registries Network: UMIN000032355.

ABSTRACT The Atlantic Forest is made up of different vegetation types over extensive latitude. Most of its remnants are in mountain ranges, which are responsible for the maintenance of most endemic and threatened species in this domain. Here we present the floristic composition of the Área de Proteção Ambiental Mestre Álvaro (APAMA), a coastal massif at Espírito Santo State with expressive altitudinal amplitude (100-800 a.s.l.) containing remnants never floristically studied. Knowing the composition of this protected area is important because it includes an altitudinal range not yet evaluated in floristic comparisons involving highland and lowland forests between the latitudes 18-21° S. We found 493 species (in 292 genera and 91 families): ten are regional endemic species, nine are new records of occurrence for the state, and 52 are under some degree of threat of extinction. Our results indicate the presence of flora elements' typical of both highland and lowland forests, which makes the APAMA essential in a scenario extremely fragmented. Finally, our data provide an unprecedented floristic list for regional forest restoration projects, as well as an invaluable source of data for biogeographic studies that seek to understand the effect caused by neighboring vegetation types on the composition of lowland forests.

OBJECTIVE: In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought a work and stress overload to healthcare workers, increasing their vulnerability to mental health impairments. In response, the authors created the COMVC-19 program. The program offered preventive actions and mental health treatment for the 22,000 workers of The Hospital das Clinicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (HCFMUSP). This paper aims to describe its implementation and share what we have learned from this experience. METHODS: Workers were able to easily access the program through a 24/7 hotline. Additionally, a mobile phone app that screened for signs and symptoms of emotional distress and offered psychoeducation and/or referral to treatment was made available. Data from both these sources as well as any subsequent psychiatric evaluations were collected. RESULTS: The first 20 weeks of our project revealed that most participants were female, and part of the nursing staff working directly with COVID-19 patients. The most frequently reported symptoms were: anxiety, depression and sleep disturbances. The most common diagnoses were Adjustment, Anxiety, and Mood disorders. CONCLUSIONS: Implementing a mental health program in a multimodal intervention was feasible in a major quaternary public hospital. Our data also suggests that preventive actions should primarily be aimed at anxiety and depression symptoms, with a particular focus on the nursing staff.

Moderate supplementation with extract of mate to a standard broiler diet in feeding experiment with 5 treatment groups was found to increase production of endogenous antioxidants in muscles, improving meat quality and storage stability. For addition of 250 or 500 mg extract per kg feed, pre-cooked meatballs made from the breast muscles had a significant lower level of secondary lipid oxidation products during one week of chill storage. Addition of 750 or 1000 mg extract per kg feed had an increasing prooxidative effect during storage of the meatballs. For the moderate levels of plant phenols in feed, a metabolic study based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of meat extracts showed that mate extract added to the feed increased the muscle level of antioxidative peptides like anserine, while indication of toxic effects was noted for the higher levels of feed additives. Rate of formation of radicals as detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was found to correlate with the oxidative damage and a kinetic analysis demonstrated that the antioxidative effect of mate supplemented to the feed could be assigned to radical scavengers present in the meat. These findings for the monogastric animals are different from results previously obtained for ruminants, where plant phenols rather seem to affect the microflora of the digestive tract.

ABSTRACT Objective The transcriptional repressor DREAM is involved in thyroid-specific gene expression, thyroid enlargement and nodular development, but its clinical utility is still uncertain. In this study we aimed to investigate whether DREAM mRNA levels differ in different thyroid tumors and how this possible difference would allow the use of DREAM gene expression as molecular marker for diagnostic and/or prognosis purpose. Materials and methods We quantified DREAM gene mRNA levels and investigated its mutational status, relating its expression and genetic changes to diagnostic and prognostic features of 200 thyroid tumors, being 101 malignant [99 papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) and 2 anaplastic thyroid carcinomas] and 99 benign thyroid lesions [49 goiter and 50 follicular adenomas (FA)]. Results Levels of mRNA of DREAM gene were higher in benign (0.7909 ± 0.6274 AU) than in malignant (0.3373 ± 0.6274 AU) thyroid lesions (p < 0.0001). DREAM gene expression was able to identify malignancy with 66.7% sensitivity, 85.4% specificity, 84.2% positive predictive value (PPV), 68.7% negative predictive value (NPV), and 75.3% accuracy. DREAM mRNA levels were also useful distinguishing the follicular lesions FA and FVPTC with 70.2% sensitivity, 73.5% specificity, 78.5% PPV, 64.1% NPV, and 71.6% accuracy. However, DREAM gene expression was neither associated with clinical features of tumor aggressiveness, nor with recurrence or survival. Six different genetic changes in non-coding regions of DREAM gene were also found, not related to DREAM gene expression or tumor features. Conclusion We suggest that DREAM gene expression may help diagnose thyroid nodules, identifying malignancy and characterizing follicular-patterned thyroid lesions; however, it is not useful as a prognostic marker.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine the histological features of the endometrium of bitches, as well as the cell proliferation at specific moments of diestrus, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 days post ovulation, correlating the endometrial thickness with the uterine cell proliferation and the metabolic state (weight, blood glucose and plasma cholesterol) of the animals. Therefore, the right and left uterine horns of 26 clinically healthy bitches submitted to ovariohysterectomy were histologically analyzed 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 days post ovulation. The hematoxylin-eosin and AgNOR staining techniques were performed. All parameters were evaluated by ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey test (p<0.05). The correlation between endometrial thickness and uterine cell proliferation, weight, blood glucose and plasma cholesterol of animals was observed using the Pearson method (p<0.05). In the present study, it is concluded that endometrial thickness does not differ at any of the moments analyzed in diestrus. The endometrial thickness is not influenced by hormones, weight, blood glucose or serum cholesterol of bitches in this phase of the estrous cycle. However, there is greater cell proliferation in the endometrium at day 40 compared to day 60 post ovulation under the influence of the endocrine profile.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope protein 2 (E2) is involved in viral binding to host cells. The aim of this work was to produce recombinant E2B and E2Y HCV proteins in Escherichia coli and Pichia pastoris, respectively, and to study their interactions with low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) and CD81 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and the ECV304 bladder carcinoma cell line. To investigate the effects of human LDL and differences in protein structure (glycosylated or not) on binding efficiency, the recombinant proteins were either associated or not associated with lipoproteins before being assayed. The immunoreactivity of the recombinant proteins was analysed using pooled serum samples that were either positive or negative for hepatitis C. The cells were immunophenotyped by LDLr and CD81 using flow cytometry. Binding and binding inhibition assays were performed in the presence of LDL, foetal bovine serum (FCS) and specific antibodies. The results revealed that binding was reduced in the absence of FCS, but that the addition of human LDL rescued and increased binding capacity. In HUVEC cells, the use of antibodies to block LDLr led to a significant reduction in the binding of E2B and E2Y. CD81 antibodies did not affect E2B and E2Y binding. In ECV304 cells, blocking LDLr and CD81 produced similar effects, but they were not as marked as those that were observed in HUVEC cells. In conclusion, recombinant HCV E2 is dependent on LDL for its ability to bind to LDLr in HUVEC and ECV304 cells. These findings are relevant because E2 acts to anchor HCV to host cells; therefore, high blood levels of LDL could enhance viral infectivity in chronic hepatitis C patients.

Resumo Um levantamento atualizado das plantas com sementes e análises relevantes acerca desta biodiversidade são apresentados. Este trabalho se iniciou em 2010 com a publicação do Catálogo de Plantas e Fungos e, desde então vem sendo atualizado por mais de 430 especialistas trabalhando online. O Brasil abriga atualmente 32.086 espécies nativas de Angiospermas e 23 espécies nativas de Gimnospermas e estes novos dados mostram um aumento de 3% da riqueza em relação a 2010. A Amazônia é o Domínio Fitogeográfico com o maior número de espécies de Gimnospermas, enquanto que a Floresta Atlântica possui a maior riqueza de Angiospermas. Houve um crescimento considerável no número de espécies e nas taxas de endemismo para a maioria dos Domínios (Caatinga, Cerrado, Floresta Atlântica, Pampa e Pantanal), com exceção da Amazônia que apresentou uma diminuição de 2,5% de endemicidade. Entretanto, a maior parte das plantas com sementes que ocorrem no Brasil (57,4%) é endêmica deste território. A proporção de formas de vida varia de acordo com os diferentes Domínios: árvores são mais expressivas na Amazônia e Floresta Atlântica do que nos outros biomas, ervas são dominantes no Pampa e as lianas apresentam riqueza expressiva na Amazônia, Floresta Atlântica e Pantanal. Este trabalho não só quantifica a biodiversidade brasileira, mas também indica as lacunas de conhecimento e o desafio a ser enfrentado para a conservação desta flora.
Abstract An updated inventory of Brazilian seed plants is presented and offers important insights into the country's biodiversity. This work started in 2010, with the publication of the Plants and Fungi Catalogue, and has been updated since by more than 430 specialists working online. Brazil is home to 32,086 native Angiosperms and 23 native Gymnosperms, showing an increase of 3% in its species richness in relation to 2010. The Amazon Rainforest is the richest Brazilian biome for Gymnosperms, while the Atlantic Rainforest is the richest one for Angiosperms. There was a considerable increment in the number of species and endemism rates for biomes, except for the Amazon that showed a decrease of 2.5% of recorded endemics. However, well over half of Brazillian seed plant species (57.4%) is endemic to this territory. The proportion of life-forms varies among different biomes: trees are more expressive in the Amazon and Atlantic Rainforest biomes while herbs predominate in the Pampa, and lianas are more expressive in the Amazon, Atlantic Rainforest, and Pantanal. This compilation serves not only to quantify Brazilian biodiversity, but also to highlight areas where there information is lacking and to provide a framework for the challenge faced in conserving Brazil's unique and diverse flora.

Objetivou-se neste estudo caracterizar quimicamente e avaliar as atividades antioxidante e antibacteriana dos óleos essenciais de citronela (Cymbopogon nardus), canela (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) e gengibre (Zingiber officinale). A obtenção do óleo essencial foi realizada utilizando a técnica de hidrodestilação por meio do aparelho de Clevenger modificado e a identificação e quantificação dos constituintes pelas análises em CG/EM e CG-DIC. A avaliação da atividade antibacteriana foi realizada por meio da técnica difusão cavidade em ágar, utilizando os microrganismos Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19117, Escherichia coli ATCC 11229, Salmonella Cholerasuis ATCC 6539 e Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442. A atividade antioxidante foi avaliada utilizando sistema β-caroteno/ácido linoléico e o método de seqüestro de radicais DPPH. Nas análises cromatográficas, os constituintes majoritários encontrados no óleo essencial de C. nardus foram citronelal (47,12%), geraniol (18,56%) e citronelol (11,07%), no óleo essencial de C. zeylanicum foram identificados (E)- cinamaldeído (77,72%), acetato de (E)-cinamila (5,99%) e o monoterpenóide 1,8-cineol (4,66%) e, para Z. officinale os majoritários foram geranial (25,06%), neral (16,47%), 1,8-cineol (10,98%), geraniol (8,51%), acetato de geranila (4,19%) e o canfeno (4,30%). Os óleos essenciais apresentaram atividade antibacteriana tanto para bactérias Gram-negativas como para bactérias Gram-positivas, sendo que o óleo essencial de C. zeylanicum foi o mais eficiente. A atividade antioxidante foi evidenciada pelo teste β-caroteno/ácido linoléico, respectivamente, para C. nardus, seguido de Z. officinale e C. zeylanicum, e pelo teste do DPPH foi observada apenas para C. nardus.
The aims of this study were to chemically characterize and to evaluate the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of the citronella (Cymbopogon nardus), cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) and ginger (Zingiber officinale) essential oils. The essential oil extraction was performed by the using of hydrodistillation through the modified Clevenger apparatus, and identification and quantification of the constituents by the GC/MS and GC-FID analysis. Evaluation of antibacterial activity was performed by using agar well diffusion method, with Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19117, Escherichia coli ATCC 11229, Salmonella Cholerasuis ATCC 6539 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 15442. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by using β-carotene/linoleic acid system and the radical scavenging DPPH method. In chromatographic analysis the major constituents of C. nardus essential oil were citronellal (47.12%), geraniol (18.56%) and citronellol (11.07%), in the C. zeylanicum essential oil were identified (E)-cinnamaldehyde (77.72%), acetate (E)-cinnamyl (5.99%) and the monoterpenoid 1,8-cineole (4.66%) as major components, and in Z. officinale the majority were geranial (25.06%), neral (16.47%), 1,8-cineole (10.98%), geraniol (8.51%), geranyl acetate (4.19%) and camphene (4.30%). The essential oils showed antibacterial activity for both Gram-negative and Gram-positive microorganisms, and the most efficient was C. zeylanicum essential oil. The antioxidant activity was observed, when using β-carotene/ linoleic acid system, for C. nardus, followed by Z. officinale and C. zeylanicum and, when using DPPH test, activity was observed only for C. nardus.

Oropharyngeal candidiasis is the most common fungal infection among HIV-positive patients. This condition can be treated with either systemic or topical antifungal agents; treatments are usually indicated empirically on the basis of clinical data. The knowledge of in vitro antifungal susceptibility is important to determine correct therapeutic guides for the treatment of fungal infections. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the antifungal susceptibility profile of oral Candida isolates from HIV-positive patients and control individuals. Amphotericin B, fluconazole, flucytosine, nystatin and ketoconazole were tested according to the methodology of microdilution proposed by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI); results were recorded in values of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). A total of 71 Candida isolates from HIV-positive patients were examined with the following species represented: C. albicans (59), C. tropicalis (9), C. glabrata (1), C. guilliermondii (1) and C. krusei (1). A total of 15 Candida isolates were evaluated from control individuals comprised of 11 C. albicans and 4 C. tropicalis samples. Our results demonstrated that the tested antifungal agents showed good activity for most isolates from both groups; however, variability in MIC values among isolates was observed.

OBJETIVO: Implementar um programa hospitalar de profilaxia de TEV através da criação de uma comissão, da realização de palestras e da distribuição de algoritmos baseados na Diretriz Brasileira para Profilaxia de TEV em Pacientes Clínicos e avaliar seu impacto na adequação da utilização de profilaxia em quatro hospitais de Salvador, Bahia. MÉTODOS: Foram realizados dois estudos de corte-transversal, um antes e um depois da implementação do programa, e comparadas as proporções de pacientes em risco de TEV e as mudanças na adequação da profilaxia. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliados 219 pacientes clínicos antes e 292 depois do programa. As taxas daqueles com pelo menos um fator de risco para TEV e daqueles com contra indicação (CI) para heparina foram semelhantes nos dois grupos: 95% vs. 98% (p=0,13) e 42% vs. 34% (p=0,08), respectivamente. Nos dois estudos, 75% vs. 82% (p=0,06) eram candidates para profilaxia, e 44% vs. 55% (p =0,02) eram candidatos sem qualquer CI para heparina. Após o programa, utilizou-se mais profilaxia mecânica, 0,9% vs. 4,5% (p=0,03) e menos profilaxia farmacológica, 55,3% vs. 47,9% (p=0,04), embora tenha havido um aumento significativo na utilização das doses corretas das heparinas, 53% vs. 75% (p<0,001). CONCLUSÃO: A profilaxia de TEV é subutilizada nos hospitais brasileiros. Aulas de educação continuada e distribuição passiva de algoritmos de profilaxia de TEV são insuficientes para melhorar a utilização, mas melhoram a adequação da profilaxia.
There is a discrepancy between guideline recommendations and practice of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in hospitals worldwide. OBJECTIVE: To implement a program using a risk-assessment tool (RAT) for VTE and educational lectures based on the Brazilian Guidelines for VTE Prophylaxis for Medical Patients and to evaluate the impact of these tools on adequacy of VTE prophylaxis in 4 hospitals in Salvador, Bahia. METHODS: We performed two cross-sectional surveys before and after the implementation of the program to compare the proportion of patients at-risk of VTE and the changes in the adequacy of VTE prophylaxis. RESULTS: We compared the data of 219 medical patients before with 292 patients after the program. The rates of patients with at least one risk factor for VTE and with contraindications (CI) for heparins were similar: 95% vs. 98% (p=0.13), and 42% vs. 34% (p=0.08), respectively. In both studies, 75% vs. 82% (p=0.06) were candidates for prophylaxis, and 44% vs. 55% (p =0.02) were candidates for prophylaxis and had no CI for heparin. After the program there was an increase in the use of mechanical prophylaxis 0.9% vs. 4.5% (p=0.03) and a decrease in pharmacological prophylaxis, 55.3% vs. 47.9% (p=0.04). However, there was a significant increase of use of the recommended doses of heparins, 53% vs. 75 (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: There is underutilization of VTE prophylaxis in Brazilian hospitals. Strategies based on passive distribution of RAT and educational lectures were not sufficient to improve the practice of prophylaxis, but improved the adequacy of VTE prophylaxis in hospitalized patients.

A criação de Galleria mellonella L. em laboratório é de grande importância para a multiplicação de nematóides entomopatogênicos, fundamental para estudos de controle biológico. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o efeito de três diferentes condições térmicas sobre os estágios imaturos desse inseto, possibilitando a sincronização de sua produção. Foram empregadas duas etapas na criação, utilizando núcleo de incubação para desenvolvimento dos ovos e recipientes circulares de alumínio para desenvolvimento de larvas e pupas. A duração dos estágios imaturos foi inversamente proporcional à temperatura em todos os bioensaios executados. Os períodos de incubação foram de 13,4 dias a 22ºC, 8,3 a 27ºC e 6,8 a 32ºC. Para os períodos de desenvolvimento larval foram obtidos valores de 40,4, 27,2 e 23,4 dias, sob as mesmas temperaturas. O desenvolvimento pupal realizou-se em 18,2, 15,0 e 12,2 dias, na mesma ordem de temperatura. A maior sobrevivência para o estágio larval ocorreu a 32ºC; no entanto, para os estágios embrionário e pupal, as maiores sobrevivências foram registradas a 27ºC e 22ºC, respectivamente. A temperatura base para a espécie foi de 11,209167ºC para o desenvolvimento embrionário, 7,695869ºC para o estágio larval e 1,943050ºC para o pupal. As constantes térmicas foram 138,380533 GD (graus dia) para o estágio de ovo, 554,968830 GD, para larva e 369,054080 GD para pupa.
The rearing of Galleria mellonella L. in laboratory is important for multiplication of entomopathogenic nematodes, mandatory for biological control studies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of three thermal profiles on development stages of this insect, allowing synchronization of cycle production. Two distinct rearing phases were done: firstly, using nucleous of incubation for development of eggs and, secondly, using circular-aluminum manifolds for development of larvae and pupae. The time necessary for development of the immature stages decreased with higher temperatures. Incubation periods lasted 13.4 days at 22ºC, 8.3 at 27ºC and 6.8 days at 32ºC, while periods for larvae development lasted 40.4, 27.2, and 23.4 days, respectively, for the same temperatures. Development to pupal stage was observed 18.2, 15.0, and 12.2 days, respectively, for the same temperatures. Larval survival was higher at 32ºC, however embryonic stages and pupae survival were higher at 27ºC. and 22ºC, respectively. The threshold temperature was 11.209167ºC for the embryonic development stage, 7.695869ºC for larval stage, and 1.943050ºC for pupal stage of G. mellonella. Thermal constants were 138.380533 DG (degree day) for egg, 554.968830 DG for larvae, and 369.054080 DG for pupae.

Nós comparamos a eficácia do álcool gel com a dos tradicionais agentes degermantes preconizados para a lavagem das mãos na remoção de amostras clínicas de Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa e Candida albicans das mãos artificialmente contaminadas. As pontas dos dedos dos voluntários (n=6) foram contaminadas com aproximadamente 10(6) de células/microrganismo teste. A seguir, as mãos foram lavadas com sabonete líquido não medicamentoso, álcool gel, álcool etílico 70% (concentração por peso) e soluções anti-sépticas detergentes de polivinilpirrolidona-iodo a 10% (PVP-I) e de gluconato de clorhexidina 4%. Os experimentos foram realizados segundo um quadrado latino com seis blocos aleatorizados 6 x 5. Os resultados foram estimados por ANOVA. Os produtos reduziram de 93,83% (sabão líquido) a 100% (PVP-I 10%) a população microbiana aplicada nas mãos. Em 4 dos 6 microrganismos testes analisados, o PVP-I 10%, o álcool gel, o álcool etílico 70% e a clorhexidina 4% mostraram uma taxa de remoção significantemente superior a do sabão líquido (P < 0,05). Os resultados confirmam a eficácia do álcool gel na higienização das mãos e sugerem que o PVP-I 10%, o álcool gel, o álcool etílico 70% e a clorhexidina 4% podem ser os agentes mais eficazes do que o sabão líquido não medicamentoso na remoção de Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis e Candida albicans das mãos altamente contaminadas.
We compared the effectiveness of alcohol gel with that of the traditional hand-cleansing agents in removing clinical strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans from artificially contaminated hands. The fingertips of 6 volunteers were contaminated with approximately 10(6) of microbial cells, and then were washed with: plain liquid soap, alcohol gel, 70% ethyl alcohol (by weight), 10% povidone-iodine liquid soap (PVP-I), and 4% chlorhexidine gluconate detergent. The experiments were performed using a Latin square statistical design, with six 6 x 5 randomized blocks, and the results were estimated by ANOVA. The products reduced from 93.83% (plain liquid soap) to 100% (PVP-I) of the microbial population applied to the hands. In 4 of 6 test microorganisms analyzed, 10% PVP-I, alcohol gel, 70% ethyl alcohol, and 4% chlorhexidine had significantly higher removal rates than plain liquid soap (P < 0.05). The results confirm the effectiveness of alcohol gel for hand hygiene and suggest that 10% PVP-I, alcohol gel, 70% ethyl alcohol, and 4% chlorhexidine may be more effective than plain liquid soap for removing A. baumannii, E. coli, E. faecalis, and C. albicans strains from heavily contaminated hands.

Aproximando, metaforicamente, os termos "laboratório" e "escola", o presente trabalho apresenta um programa de pesquisa experimental que visa desenvolver procedimentos para a construção de repertório simbólico em macacos-prego (Cebus apella). A metáfora "laboratório-escola" justifica-se pela semelhança dos procedimentos de treino de discriminações ou relações com programas de ensino de tarefas gradualmente mais complexas. O desafio tem sido o de manter o comportamento dos "aprendizes" sob controle das propriedades da tarefa programadas pelo experimentador. Os procedimentos são permanentemente avaliados em função da efetividade para produzir a planejada formação de relações não diretamente treinadas entre estímulos. Os resultados obtidos demonstram a aquisição do conceito de identidade e indicam a possibilidade de ensino de repertórios mais complexos, que são pré-requisitos para o comportamento simbólico e o possível aproveitamento de tecnologia para ensino desse tipo de repertório a pessoas com dificuldades no desenvolvimento de funcionamento simbólico convencional.
Equating, metaphorically, the terms "lab" and "school", this article presents an experimental research program aiming to develop procedures to build symbolic repertories in capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella). The metaphor "lab-school" arises from the similarity of the training procedures, used to teach discriminations or stimulus relations, to teaching programs used to introduce gradually more complex tasks. The challenge has been to keep the behavior of the "learners" under the control of the task properties, as programmed by the experimenter. Results document the acquisition of generalized identity and indicate the possibility of teaching more complex repertoires that are prerequisite for symbolic behavior and the possible application of the developed technology in teaching such repertoires to persons with difficulties to develop conventional symbolic functioning.
