RESUMEN: La hiperplasia fibrosa inflamatoria (HFI) es una lesión reactiva común en los usuarios de prótesis dentales que puede estar asociada con la metaplasia cartilaginosa (MC). La metaplasia es un proceso celular adaptativo que puede ser causado por un trauma. El presente informe analizó cinco casos de HFI asociados a MC y se analizaron morfológicamente la deposición de colágeno en estas lesiones. Los pacientes tenían una edad media de 58,8 años y eran usuarios de prótesis dentales mal adaptadas. Se observaron lesiones nodulares localizadas en el la parte anterior del maxilar Microscópicamente se observó tejido conectivo fibroso hiperplásico con infiltrado inflamatorio crónico y cartílago hialino. No se observaron diferencias morfológicas en la deposición de colágeno bajo microscopía óptica, pero el análisis cuantitativo reveló una deposición de colágeno significativamente mayor en el tejido conectivo cerca de MC (p = 0,015). La HFI asociada con la MC afecta a los usuarios de prótesis dentales mal adaptadas. La presencia de MC no es significativa para el pronóstico de la lesión. Sin embargo, su formación y la mayor deposición de colágeno cerca de MC refuerza el origen reactivo de HFI.

ABSTRACT: Inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (IFH) is a common reactive lesion in dental prostheses users that may be associated with chondroid metaplasia (CM). Metaplasia is an adaptive cellular process that may be caused by trauma. We reported here five cases of IFH associated with CM and analyzed morphologically the deposition of collagen in these lesions. Patients had a mean age of 58.8 years-old and were ill-fitting dental prostheses users. They presented nodular lesions located in the anterior maxilla. Microscopically, it was observed hyperplastic fibrous connective tissue with chronic inflammatory infiltrate and hyaline cartilage. No morphological differences were observed in collagen deposition under light microscopy, but quantitative analysis revealed a significantly higher collagen deposition at the connective tissue near CM (p = 0.015). IFH associated with CM affects ill-fitting dental prostheses users. The presence of CM is not significant to the lesion prognosis. However, its formation and the higher collagen deposition near it reinforces the IFH reactive origin.

BACKGROUND Leishmania RNA virus 1 (LRV1) is commonly found in South American Leishmania parasites belonging to the subgenus Viannia, whereas Leishmania RNA virus 2 (LRV2) was previously thought to be restricted to the Old-World pathogens of the subgenus Leishmania. OBJECTIVES In this study, we investigated the presence of LRV2 in strains of Leishmania (L.) infantum, the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), originating from different hosts, clinical forms, and geographical regions. METHODS A total of seventy-one isolates were screened for LRV2 using semi-nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) targeting the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene. FINDINGS We detected LRV2 in two L. infantum isolates (CUR268 and HP-EMO) from canine and human cases, respectively. MAIN CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, this is the first detection of LRV2 in the New World. LRV1 LRV (LRV1 Viannia (LRV2 OldWorld Old World study L (L.

ABSTRACT. Analyzing the organochlorine pesticide (OCP) content in milk is relevantbecause it helps evaluate the quality of milk that reaches the consumer's table and also helps identify the geographical areas where there is a high possibility of contamination. Accordingly,thispilot project was aimed at determining the extent of contamination by OCP residues and their metabolites in fresh cow's milk in Mojuí dos Campos and Belterra, Pará, using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and gas chromatography coupled with electron capture detection (GC-ECD). The OCPs evaluated in this study weredichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolites (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD)), hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) (α, β, γ, and δ), endosulfanα and β, andendosulfansulfate. None of the thirty bovine milk samples analyzedshowed any contamination with OCPs.TheOCP content was within the limit of quantification of the method. The results of this study add to the existing knowledge on the quality ofbovine milk produced in these locations. However, further researchon other environmental matricesis required to confirm the results obtained in this study.

ABSTRACT. We aimed to determine the effect of relocation of whole-plant corn silage (WPCS) with different fermentation profiles on ingestive behavior of lambs. Twenty-four male Santa Inês lambs, were used in a completely randomized block design based on initial body weight (17.5 ± 1.8 kg) for the following treatments: CS: WPCS (not inoculated and not relocated); R-12h: WPCS relocated for 12h; IR-12h: WPCS inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum and relocated for 12h; and R-24h: WPCS not inoculated and relocated for 24h. Ingestive behavior was observed as continuous (feeding, ruminating, and idling) and specific (urination, defecation, and water and salt access frequency) activities for 48h (3h intervals for a total of eight periods in 24h). The behavioral activities were affected only by periods (p = 0.0001). Feeding peaks was high at 8:00-11:00am (54.2%) and 5:00-8:00pm (54.9%) in compare to ruminating and idling at the same period. Rumination time was intense at night, at 63.7% (2:00-5:00am) and 69.7% (5:00-8:00am). Idling time (49.7%) was long after silage supply. The specific activities were intense during the morning periods. Supply of WPCS relocated up to 24h did not alter the ingestive behavior.

Resumo Abordamos a poética filosófica de Márcia Kambeba como um instrumento de insubordinação indígena em primeira pessoa contra as narrativas jurídico-legais formalistas, dicotômicas e segregacionistas no contexto do Estado-nação brasileiro. Para tanto, adotamos a perspectiva decolonial para analisar o discurso da filósofa no poema Ay kakuyri tama (Eu moro na cidade), em diálogo com autoras(es) que, tal qual ela, compreendem o corpo como território do político e, seu trânsito, um lócus de enunciação contra as opressões. Assim, tomando como texto guia as estrofes do poema, o artigo se divide em três seções: na primeira, a autora convida o mundo não indígena para sua dança ritual, um convite simbólico que remete o leitor aos primórdios da invasão dos europeus nas terras dos povos originários; na segunda, ao tempo que a poeta faz um relato saudoso dos tempos de infância, compreende que a luta e a guerra são uma constante em sua existência, analogia que propomos em relação ao processo de resistência dos povos indígenas, forçados a se conformar à lógica moderno-colonial estatal; e, por fim, à guisa de conclusão, a poeta reivindica seu lugar no mundo não indígena, compreendendo que as tensões inerentes a esse estar são próprias do seu trânsito e parte da própria resistência de uma identidade que a colonialidade insiste em apagar.

Abstract We approach the philosophical poetics of Marcia Kambeba as an instrument of first-person indigenous insubordination against the formalistic judicial-legal, dichotomous and segregationist narratives in the context of the Brazilian Nation-State. In order to it, we adopt the decolonial analysis of the philosopher’s discuss in the poem Ay kakuyri tama (I live in the city), in dialogue with authors(s) who, like her, understand the body as territory of politics and its transit as a locus of enunciation against oppression. Thus, taking the verses of the poem as the guide text, the essay is divided into three sections: in the first, the author invites the non-indigenous world to her ritual dance, a symbolic invitation that guides the reader to the beginnings of the invasion of Europeans in the lands of the original peoples; in the second, as the poet makes a nostalgic narrative of her childhood times, understands that the struggle and the war are a constant in her existence, analogy that we propose in relation to the process of resistance of the indigenous peoples, forced to be conformed to the state-colonial-modern logic; and, finally, as a conclusion, the poet claims her place in the non-indigenous world, understanding that the tensions inherent to this state are unique and that this transit is part of the very resistance of an identity that coloniality insists on erasing.

Abstract The study aimed to analyze the honey of Melipona subnitida to identify the plants visited by these bees in colonies installed in a restinga vegetation in Maranhão state. Honey was collected monthly from July/2017 to June/2018. The honey samples were submitted to the acetolysis method and the pollen grains were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The pollen analysis of honey resulted in 54 pollen types and 26 families. The largest pollen variety was registered in Fabaceae. Quantitative analyzes of pollen grains in honey samples revealed that three were monofloral, in July/2017 with Avicennia germinans honey and December/2017 and January/2018 with Copaifera martii honey. In the other months, the heterofloral honeys. Melipona subnitida proved to be general in food gathering. Knowing the flora used by M. subnita contributes to the meliponiculturists to improve the handling of the colonies, the increase and quality in the production of honey.

Abstract: Timber from the second cutting cycle may make up the majority of future crop volumetric. However, there are few studies of the physical and mechanical properties of this timber, which are important to support the consolidation of new species. This study aimed to use Artificial Neural Networks to estimate the physical and mechanical properties of wood from the Amazon, based on basic density. The properties were: shrinkage (tangential, radial and volumetric), static bending, parallel and perpendicular to the fiber compression, parallel and transverse to the fibers, Janka hardness, traction, splitting and shear. The estimate followed the tendency of the data observed for the tangential, radial and volumetric shrinkage. The network estimated the mechanical properties with significant accuracy. Distribution of errors, static bending, parallel compression and perpendicular to the fiber compression also showed significant accuracy. Artificial Neural Networks can be used to estimate the physical and mechanical properties of wood from Amazon species.

ABSTRACT Objective to reflect on morality and critical thinking as competences to be developed during nursing training. Content four previously specified thematic categories were discussed: ethics and moral or morality; moral development from Kohlberg’s perspective; an approximation to critical thinking; and morality and critical thinking – all competences to be developed during nurses’ training. Conclusion critical and ethical/moral thinking makes it possible to act competently. This reveals a need to rethink undergraduate nursing courses in order to implement active, innovative and creative methodologies and strategies, drawing on a commitment by academic staff not only to stimulate students to think critically and morally, but encourage them to feel that they are co-participants in the teaching and learning process.

ABSTRACT The Apidae community structure was studied in a vegetated area of coastal dunes in Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. Collections were performed monthly from August 2009 to July 2010. The collection methods included the use of entomological nets on flowers and Moerike traps. In total, 1211 individuals belonging to 59 species were collected. The pattern of abundance and richness was similar to those found in Maranhão and other coastal areas of northeastern Brazil. The bees were present throughout the year, with an increase in the number of individuals during the rainy season. Constant and dominant species included Trigona sp. gr. fulviventris, Apis mellifera, Plebeia alvarengai, Centris aenea, Xylocopa cearensis, and Centris caxiensis.

ResumenCentris (Hemisiella) dichrootricha es una especie de abeja solitaria neotropical, que anida en cavidades preexistentes y vive en la selva tropical. El presente estudio describe la biología de anidación de C. dichrootricha y su preferencia de nidificación por áreas en Cerrado y Bosque de Galería. El área de estudio se localiza en el Parque Estadual de Mirador, municipio de Formosa da Serra Negra, Maranhão. El método empleado fue el de nidos trampa de madera de diferentes diámetros, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 y 16 mm, colocándose 300 nidos trampa por área. Las trampas fueron monitoreadas mensualmente y todos los nidos terminados fueron recogidos y sustituidos por otros vacíos. Los nidos completos fueron llevados al laboratorio para analizar el desarrollo de la abeja, la emergencia, las características de los nidos y la presencia de parásitos. La especie ocupó 29 nidos de los diámetros de 8, 10, 12 y 14 mm. Emergieron 87 individuos de C. dichrootricha. Los nidos fueron parasitados por tres especies: Mesocheira bicolor (Apinae), Coelioxys sp. (Megachilinae) y Antrax sp. (Diptera). En el Bosque de Galería se presentó la mayor nidificación (72.4 %) y en el Cerrado solamente 27.6 %, de esta forma, hubo diferencias significativas entre los hábitats (χ² = 5.56; p < 0.05; G. L.= 1). Los nidos fundados en el bosque de galería presentaron 80.9 % de sedimento originario del Cerrado. Las hembras fueron significativamente más grandes que los machos (F1, 76 = 595.19; p < 0.001). Hubo 11 tipos de polen pertenecientes a seis familias. Los tipos de polinización de la familia Malpighiaceae fueron los más representativos, con cuatro especies: Byrsonima crassifolia, B. rotunda, B. spicata y Heteropterys sp. C. dichrootricha mostró preferencia por nidificar en cavidades con diámetros variados y en el bosque de galería. El presente estudio contribuye con la descripción de los hábitos de nidificación y la biología de la especie para las áreas de Cerrado en la región centrosur de Maranhão. C. dichrootricha utilizó en su mayoría recursos provenientes del Cerrado, tanto sedimento para construir el nido, como material polínico y aceite floral. Estós datos indican que el bosque de galería y el Cerrado están intrínsecamente relacionados con el mantenimiento y conservación de C. dichrootricha.

Abstract:The Neotropical bee Centris (Hemisiella) dichrootricha is a solitary bee that nests in pre-existing cavities that occur in the rain forest. This study describes the nesting biology of C. dichrootricha and its preference for nesting in Cerrado and gallery forest habitats. The study was conducted from January 2012 and December 2013, in Mirador State Park in the municipality of Formosa da Serra Negra, Maranhão State, Brazil. For this, wooden trap-nests of 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 mm in diameter were used; a total of 300 trap-nests were placed in the gallery forest and Cerrado areas, respectively. Traps were monitored monthly and all completed nests were collected and replaced with empty ones. The nests were then taken to the laboratory to analyze bee development and emergence, nests characteristics and parasites presence. The species used 29 of the trap-nests, which had diameters of 8, 10, 12 and 14 mm. A total of 87 C. dichrootricha specimens emerged. The nests were parasitized by two bee species, Mesocheira bicolor (Apinae) and Coelioxys sp. (Megachilinae), and one fly species, Antrax sp. (Diptera). The highest nesting incidence of 72.4 % was observed in the gallery forest, whereas only 27.6 % in the Cerrado; this difference in habitat use was significant (χ² = 5.56; p < 0.05; DF = 1). For the nests that were built in the gallery forest, 80.9% of the soil originated from the Cerrado. The females were significantly larger than the males (F1, 76 = 595.19; p < 0.001). There were 11 pollen types that belonged to six families. Pollen of the family Malpighiaceae was most frequently used, with four species represented (Byrsonima crassifolia, B. rotunda, B. spicata and Heteropterys sp.). C. dichrootricha showed a preference for nesting in cavities of various diameters in gallery forest sites. The present study provides a novel description of the nesting habits and biology of C. dichrootricha in habitats of Central/Southern Maranhão. C. dichrootricha primarily used resources from the Cerrado, including soil to build their nests, pollen and floral oils; we concluded that gallery forest and Cerrado areas are intrinsically related to the maintenance of local populations of this species.

Estudio transversal realizado con 347 adolescentes de escuelas de Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, quienes respondieron un cuestionario con información acerca de perfil socioeconómico, actividad física, hábitos alimentarios y antecedentes familiares de la enfermedad. A su vez, se sometieron a un examen físico. Para el análisis se formaron dos grupos: los estudiantes con el DE de sobrepeso (n=100) y los estudiantes sin este diagnóstico (n=247). Resultados. Los factores de riesgo para la hipertensión que se asociaron con diagnóstico de enfermería fueron: obesidad abdominal (OR=40.0), la ingesta de alimentos ricos en azúcar (OR=3.5) y en grasa (4.4); antecedentes familiares de hipertensión (OR=6.9), obesidad (OR=2.0) y diabetes (OR=5.5). El grupo con DE de sobrepeso también tuvo cifras promedio mayores de presión arterial sistólica y diastólica que el grupo sin el diagnóstico. Conclusión. Los factores de riesgo para la hipertensión que se asociaron con el DE exceso de peso fueron la obesidad abdominal, los hábitos de alimentación, los antecedentes familiares de enfermedades y la presión arterial anormal. Estos hallazgos pueden contribuir a la prevención de la hipertensión en los adolescentes, ya que dirige la mirada de los enfermeros hacia el desarrollo medidas educativas eficaces para hacer frente a estos factores de riesgo para sobrepeso en adolescentes.

Objective.To identify associations between the risk factors for hypertension and the nursing diagnosis of overweight in adolescents. Methods. Cross-sectional study conducted in 2013 with 347 teenagers attending schools in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, who answered a form about the socioeconomic profile, physical activity, eating habits and family history of disease and who underwent physical examination. For analytical analysis, two groups were formed: students with the Nursing Diagnosis overweight (n=100) and students without this diagnosis (n=247). Results. the risk factors for hypertension associated with the Nursing Diagnosis were: abdominal obesity (OR=40.0), food intake rich in sugar and fat (OR=40.0), family history of hypertension (OR=6.9), obesity and diabetes (OR=2.0), abnormal systolic and diastolic blood pressure (OR=5.5). Conclusion. the risk factors for hypertension that presented association with the Nursing Diagnosis overweight were abdominal obesity, eating habits, family history of diseases and abnormal blood pressure. These findings may contribute to prevent hypertension in adolescents, in that it directs the gaze of nurses to develop effective measures to address these risk factors.

ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of the Chenopodium ambrosioides L (mastruz) extract for preventing bone loss and bone metabolism in ovariectomized rats. METHODS: Twelve rats were subjected to bilateral ovariectomy for inducing osteoporosis. After surgery, they were divided into two groups: Ovariectomy-control group (G1, n=6), receiving 0.5 ml distilled water by gavage for 30 days, and Ovariectomy plus mastruz group (G2, n=6), receiving 0.5 ml of the hydroalcoholic extract of mastruz at 10% concentration (50mg) daily, for the same period. Then, the blood of the animals was collected for further biochemical analysis (liver function) and tibia and liver were removed for histological and histomorphometric analyses. RESULTS: The cortical bone was significantly larger in the G2 than G1, whereas G1 presented the highest amount of adipocytes in the bone marrow (p<0.05). The blood levels of aspartate aminotransferase, triglycerides and cholesterol were significantly higher, whereas globulin and lactate dehydrogenase were smaller in G2 than G1. CONCLUSION: The hydroalcoholic extract of mastruz has effects on bone metabolism by changing blood proteins and enzymes and preventing both bone loss and the substitution of bone marrow cells by

Introduction: Liver disease as a major cause of mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus. There is a interest to investigate the hypolipidemic properties of yam. The goal was assess the role of Brazilian yam (Dioscorea bulbifera) on serum and hepatic levels of triglycerides and cholesterol, in female diabetic rats. Methods: The rats were divided into three groups: Control (C), Diabetic (DM); Diabetic Yam (DMY), treated with diet containing 25g/100g of yam flour. After 5 weeks of experiment, glucose, insulin, gonadal fat and liver mass were evaluated. Serum and liver concentrations of triglycerides and cholesterol concentrations were quantified. Total liver thiols were determined. Results: After the 5 weeks, experimental groups shower (P < 0.05): Lower body mass; lower serum insulin; higher food intake and higher blood glucose concentration. DMY (vs. DM) group showed (P < 0.05): Lower blood glucose; higher gonadal fat mass; lower serum and hepatic triglycerides; higher hepatic cholesterol and thiols concentrations. DMY (vs. C) group showed: Similar serum and hepatic triglycerides and hepatic thiols. Conclusions: Brazilian yam (Dioscorea bulbifera) alleviated the consequences of the experimental diabetic disease, suggesting protection to hypertriglyceridemia and lipid peroxidation.
