ABSTRACT

Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a incidência de Streptococcus ß-hemolítico em gestantes e a suscetibilidade aos antimicrobianos das pacientes colonizadas. Métodos: Para isso, foram analisadas 4.380 amostras de secreções vaginais e anais de gestantes, a partir de 35 semanas de gestação, atendidas em laboratório particular na cidade de Campinas, para detecção da presença de Streptococcus ß-hemolítico. Resultados: Foi encontrada uma prevalência de colonização nas gestantes analisadas de 12% (504/4380), sendo 293 (13%) vaginais e 211 (10%) anais. Das positivas, foi realizado o perfil de resistência bacteriana em 60 amostras, sendo 20% das amostras anais resistentes à clindamicina e 22% à eritromicina e das amostras vaginais 25% resistentes à clindamicina e 33% à eritromicina, não havendo resistência à penicilina e ampicilina. Conclusão: Diante da incidência apresentada, ressalta-se a importância da realização do rastreio da colonização transitória de estreptococos ß-hemolíticos em gestantes durante o pré-natal, associado à adequada profilaxia intraparto, para minimizar os riscos de ocorrência de sepse nos neonatos.


Objective: The aim of this study was evaluate the incidence of ß-hemolytic Streptococcus in pregnant women and antimicrobial susceptibility of colonized patients. Methods: For this, a cohort of 4,380 of pregnant women, from 35 weeks of gestation, were analyzed, samples of vaginal and anal secretion were collected in a private laboratory in the city of Campinas. Result: The prevalence of colonization was of 12% (504/4380) in pregnant women was evidenced, being 293 (13%) vaginal and 211 (10%) anal. From the positives, the bacterial resistance profile was performed in 60 samples, 20% of the clinical samples resistant to Clindamycin and 22% of Erythromycin and 25% of the vaginal samples resistant to Clindamycin and 33% to Erythromycin, without resistance to Penicillin and Ampicillin. Conclusion: We conclude that the emphasize the importance of performing the screening of ß-hemolytic Streptococcus in pregnant women during the prenatal period, associated with adequate intrapartum prophylaxis is needed.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The ICD-11 Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ) was developed as a joint effort by researchers from several countries to evaluate post-traumatic stress (PTSD) and complex-PTSD (C-PTSD) symptoms. This study is part of a multi-center international collaborative research project that aims to provide psychometric support for this initial instrument in different languages, considering the specific contexts related to complex traumatization. This study verified the psychometric characteristics of the Portuguese version of the ITQ, evaluating symptoms beyond those described the existing literature. Methods: We examined the results of a convenience sample totaling 268 Portuguese and Angolan participants. Two instruments were applied: the ITQ, which evaluates symptoms resulting from a traumatic life event, and the Life Events Checklist (LEC), which evaluates stressful life events. The general characteristics of the scales are described, and reliability analysis and validity studies were performed. Results: Cronbach's alpha varied between 0.84 and 0.88, and the exploratory factorial analysis results were consistent with the concept of C-PTSD, with five components explaining 61.58% of scale variance. Conclusion: The results suggest good psychometric characteristics for the Portuguese version of the ITQ, and thus it can be included in protocols intended evaluating complex traumatic symptoms.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To investigate the protective effects of pentoxifylline against lung injury observed after dorsal scald in aged animals. METHODS: Adult (eight months old) and aged (20 months old) rats were subjected to thermal injury or sham procedure. The six hours post-trauma animals received pentoxifylline and after 24 hours were euthanatized and lung tissue samples collectedted. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was evaluated for total protein content and tumor necrosis factor-alpha cytokine. Malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase activety in the lung homogenate were measured and a histological lung examination was undertaken. RESULTS: Burn injury induced oxidative stress in lung homogenate was higher in elderly-burned rats compared to adult-burned rats (p<0.001). Total protein and cytokine in bronchoalveolar lavage increased in the elderly-burned group when compared to the adult-burned group (p<0.001). All parameters decreased in bolth groups treated with pentoxifylline (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The injury was augmented in elderly rats when compared to adult rats. Damage was reduced with the use of pentoxifylline, however further studies are needed to evaluate the dose-response of the drug.

ABSTRACT

Segmentos de folhas de plântulas de urucum (Bixa orellana L), foram cultivados in vitro, em um meio básico idealizado por Murashige & Skoog (1962), suplementado com 0,5mg/l dos reguladores do crescimento, benzilaminopurina (BAP), cinetina (KN) e isopentenil-adenina (2iP), isolados ou combinados entre si, com o objetivo de avaliar qual a melhor citocinina ou combinação destas para indução de brotações de boa qualidade visando à micropropagação. Após 60 dias de cultivo, as gemas obtidas foram transferidas para um meio MS modificado, contendo a metade da formulação de sais minerais, sem a suplementação de reguladores do crescimento. Gemas de melhor qualidade foram obtidas nos tratamentos onde a KN e o BAP estavam em combinação. A KN sozinha não foi eficiente na indução de brotações. O maior número de gemas por explante foi obtido com KN, BAP e 2iP e no tratamento com apenas BAP.


Excised leaf explants of annatto (Bixa orellana L.) seedlings were cultivated on a Murashige & Skoog basal medium containing benzylaminopurine (BAP), kinetin (KN) and isopentenyl-adenine (2iP) individually or in combination, each at concentration of 0.5mg/l, with the purpose of evaluated the best cytokinins or cytokinins combination for shoot bud formation. After 60 days, regenerated shoots were transferred to half strenght MS medium without growth regulators. Best shoots were observed where KN and BAP were added in combination. Isolated KN was ineffective for shoot bud formation. The maximum average number of shoot buds per leaf explant was obtained on medium with BAP, KN and 2iP in combination and on medium supplied of isolated BAP.
