Use of jabuticaba (Plinia cauliflora) skin in the processing of ice creams / Uso de piel de jabuticaba (Plinia cauliflora) en el procesamiento de helados

ABSTRACT The aim of this work was to process jabuticaba skin aqueous extract, varying the crushing and sieving time and to develop ice cream with different concentrations of jabuticaba skin extract, evaluate its physicochemical, microbiological and bioactive composition. Different extractive processes of jabuticaba skin were tested. Extract A was crushed for 25 seconds and sieved, extract B was crushed for 25 seconds without sieving, extract C was crushed for 45 seconds and sieved and extract D was crushed during 45 seconds not sifted. From the extract that presented the highest indices of bioactive compounds, formulations of ice cream with concentrations of 5, 10 and 15% were elaborated. Extract B showed the highest content of phenolic compounds (201.81 mg gallic acid. 100 g-1 skins), anthocyanins (60.32 mg cyanidin-3 glycoside.100 g-1 peels) and significant antioxidant activity (5047.72 g skins. g-1 DPPH) and was chosen to be added in the ice cream. The evaluated ice creams met the microbiological standards established by the Brazilian legislation. The use of progressive concentrations of jabuticaba skin extract in the elaboration of ice cream increased the rates of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity. The values found were significant and generated an alternative use for jabuticaba skin, which is normally discarded.

RESUMEN El objetivo de este trabajo fue elaborar extractos acuosos de piel de jabuticaba, variando el tiempo de trituración y cribado. Además de desarrollar helados con diferentes concentraciones de extracto de piel de jabuticaba, evaluando su composición físico-química, microbiológica y de compuestos bioactivos. Se analizaron diferentes procesos de elaboración de extractos de cáscara de jabuticaba, siendo denominados extracto A - triturado durante 25 segundos y tamizado, extracto B - triturado durante 25 segundos no tamizado, extracto C - triturado durante 45 segundos y tamizado y extracto D - triturado durante 45 segundos sin cribado. A partir del extracto que presentó los índices más elevados de compuestos bioactivos, se elaboraron formulaciones de helado con concentraciones de 5, 10 y 15%. El extracto B fue el que presentó mayor contenido de compuestos fenólicos (201,81 mg ácido gálico. 100 g-1 piel), antocianinas (60,32 mg cyanidina-3 glycosideo.100 g-1 piels) y significativa actividad antioxidante (5047,72 g piels. g-1DPPH) siendo el elegido para ser añadido en el helado.

Análise biomecânica ex vivo de um modelo de haste intramedular de polipropileno para osteossíntese em úmeros de bezerros / Ex vivo biomechanics assay of a model of polypropylene intramedullary nail for calf humeral osteosynthesis

Foram utilizados 12 pares de úmeros obtidos de bezerros machos da raça Holandesa, com idades entre 15 e 30 dias. Os úmeros esquerdos foram mantidos íntegros, e os direitos foram fraturados de forma oblíqua em sua diáfise, na transição entre os terços médio e proximal. A redução da fratura foi feita pela aplicação intramedular de haste de polipropileno, bloqueada por dois parafusos corticais de aço inoxidável, dispostos transversalmente em cada fragmento ósseo. Seis pares de ossos foram submetidos ao teste de compressão, e seis ao teste de flexão, utilizando-se uma máquina universal de ensaios. Nos testes de compressão, as cargas médias de ruptura foram 738,3N e 473,3N, e nos testes de flexão 322,4N e 117,9N, para os ossos íntegros e fraturados, respectivamente. Comparando-se o grupo de ossos fraturados com o grupo de ossos íntegros, verificou-se que o sistema proposto foi capaz de resistir a 66,4 por cento das cargas médias quando submetido à compressão, e a 36,6 por cento quando submetido à flexão. Úmeros fraturados e tratados com haste intramedular de polipropileno apresentaram resistência limitada se comparados aos ossos íntegros.

A total of 12 pairs of humeri from male calves 15 to 30 days old were used. The left humeri remained unchanged and the right ones were fractured in the diaphysis between proximal and middle thirds. The fracture was fixed with a polypropylene intramedullary nail interlocked with two steel bone screws crossed along each segment. Six pairs of bones were subjected to a compression test and the others to a flexural test using a universal testing machine. In the compression tests, the mean rupture loads were 738,3N and 473,3N, and in the flexural tests they were 322,4N and 117,9N for the intact and fractured bones respectively. Fractured bones fixed with the proposed model were able to resist 66.4 percent of the load during compression and 36.6 percent during bending when in comparison to intact bones. Fractured humeri treated with polypropylene intramedullary nail showed limited resistance compared to intact ones.

Ocorrência de doença infundibular, sobremordida e ganchos em equinos de cavalaria militar / Infundibular disease, over-bite, and dental hooks occurrence in military horse

Avaliou-se a ocorrência da doença infundibular (DI) e a associação entre sobremordida (SM) e ganchos dentários rostral e caudal da maxila e mandíbula. Utilizaram-se 88 equinos - 52 machos e 36 fêmeas -, entre três e 27 anos. Para os exames odontológicos, os animais foram contidos em brete e sedados com xilazina 10 por cento a 0,5mg/kg IV e utilizaram-se abridor de boca, fotóforo elétrico e sonda odontológica de aço inox. Agruparam-se os equinos por idade. O grupo 1 foi formado por animais até nove anos; o G2 de 10 a 14 e G3 de 15 a 27 anos. Foi diagnosticada DI em (37,5 por cento) animais, nos dentes molares e pré-molares. A incidência maior de DI foi nos dentes 109 (11,4 por cento) e 209 (12,5 por cento). Houve correlação positiva entre a idade e o número de dentes acometidos (r=0,26; P<0,02). A maior ocorrência de DI no grupo mais acometido (G3) foi nos dentes 108 e 208. Verificaram-se 66 por cento de SM e 65 por cento de ganchos. Observou-se correlação entre SM e presença total de ganchos (r=0,26, P=0,016), entre SM e ganchos rostrais maxilares e mandibulares (r=0,25,P=0,016) e ganchos rostrais maxilares(r=0,24, P=0,02). Animais com ganchos pré-molares maxilares tiveram 2,8 vezes mais chance de apresentarem SM (IC 95 por cento = 1,1 a 7,1).

The occurrence of infundibular disease (ID) and the association between over-bite (OB) and rostral and caudal hooks on teeth of the maxilla and jaw were evaluated in 88 horses - 52 males and 36 females - aging from between 3 and 27 years old. The horses were restrained in stocks, sedated with xylazine and examined using a mouth-speculum and a stainless steel pick. The data were recorded on individual charts. The animals were grouped by age: group 1: 3 to 9, group 2: 10 to 14, and group 3: 15 to 27 years old. ID was identified on the premolar and molar teeth in 37.5 percent of horses. There was a positive correlation between age and number of affected teeth (r=0.26, P<0.02). The most affected teeth were the 109 (11.4 percent) and 209 (12.5 percent). The highest occurrence of ID in the most affected group (G3) was on the 108 and 208 teeth. There were 66 percent of OB and 65 percent of hooks. There was a correlation between OB and the presence of total (r=0.26, P=0.016), maxillary and mandibular (r=0.25, P=0.016), and maxillary rostral hooks (r=0.24, P=0.02). Only the association between OB and maxillary rostral hooks was significant. Animals with maxillary pre-molars hooks were 2.8 times predisposed to have OB (CI 95 percent=1.1 to 7.1).

Niveles de asertividad, perfil sociodemográfico, dependencia a la nicotina y motivos para fumar en una población de fumadores que acude a un tratamiento para dejar de fumar / Assertiveness levels, sociodemographic profile, nicotine dependence and reasons for smoking in a group of smokers attending teatment to stop smoking

Introduction Tobacco consumption is a serious public health problem and the principal cause of death worldwide. It is linked to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), coronary disease, and various cancers such as lung cancer, which is the most frequent, and cancer of the larynx and other organs. Smoking affects the quality of life of millions of people. Those who live with smokers also become involuntary or passive smokers. It is important to determine the factors that influence initiation and continuation of smoking and the reasons that facilitate or favor smoking cessation. The dependence of cigarette smoking acts as a modulator of the relationship that smokers have with their social environment and on the expression of their feelings. We considered important to study the assertiveness of smokers, which is considered to be the social skill that individuals have to express what they think, feel and opine about respecting their rights and the rights of others as a factor that may influence smoking cessation or continuation of smoking. Objective We undertook this study to determine the levels of assertiveness and the sociodemographic profile of a population of 130 patients who were smokers and who came to the <

Evaluación microbiológica de la desinfección en unidades odontológicas (estudio piloto) / Microbiological evaluation of the disinfection in dental units (pilot study)

La presente investigación, de interés en salud pública en el área de Odontología, evaluó la acción de tres desinfectantes (glutaraldehído, hipoclorito de sodio y cloruro de benzalconio) frente a superficies susceptibles con mayor contaminación bacteriana en unidades dentales de uso continuo, comparando la población bacteriana antes y después de la desinfección. Se seleccionaron tres superficies (jeringa triple, testera de la silla, escupidera) por medio de cuestionarios al personal de las clínicas odontológicas de la Universidad Antonio Nariño - Sede Sur. Los microorganismos encontrados fueron similares para todas las unidades dentales, con prevalencia de Gram negativos no fermentadores en mayor proporción, seguido de fermentadores, Gram positivos y esporulados. Se logró la mayor eliminación de microorganismos por el protocolo de desinfección con glutaraldehído al 2%, seguido de hipoclorito de sodio al 0,5% y cloruro de benzalconio al 1%.

The present research evaluated the action of three disinfectants (glutaraldehyde, sodium hypochlorite and benzalconic chloride) in front of susceptible surfaces with more bacterial contamination in dental units of continuous use, comparing the bacterial population before and after the disinfection, of interest in health publishes in the area of Dentistry. Three surfaces were selected (it squirts triple, front of the seat, spittoon) by means of questionnaires to the personnel of the clinical dentistry of the University Antonio Nariño South Headquarters. The microorganisms found were similar for all dental units, with prevalence of Gram negative not fermentadors in greater proportion, followed by fermentadors, Gram positive and sporulade. There was the largest removal of microorganisms by the protocol of disinfection with glutaraldehyde to 2%, followed by sodium hipochloride to 0.5% and benzalconic chloride to 1%.

Obstrução estrangulada de jejuno como complicação pós-operatória de ressecção do cólon maior eqüino: relato de caso / Jejunal strangulative obstruction as a post-operative complication of large colon ressection in a mare: case report

Em uma égua, submetida à laparotomia para correção de vólvulo do cólon maior, realizou-se enterectomia próximo ao ligamento cecocólico seguida de enteroanastomose término-terminal. Nas primeiras 24 horas do período pós-operatório, houve piora dos sinais clínicos, com ocorrência de dor, refluxo enterogástrico e agravamento do quadro de endotoxemia. Frente ao prognóstico desfavorável, optou-se pela eutanásia. Durante a necropsia, não foram constatadas falhas na enteroanastomose ou sinais de peritonite séptica. Observou-se encarceramento de uma alça de jejuno, que se apresentava justaposta à extremidade livre da prega cecocólica e comprimida entre o corpo do ceco e o cólon ventral direito remanescente, caracterizando obstrução do tipo estrangulada. Esse achado foi compatível com o agravamento do quadro clínico observado no pós-operatório. Essa ocorrência sugere a necessidade de uma adaptação na técnica de ressecção do cólon maior, de forma a reduzir o espaço cecocólico e evitar um possível encarceramento de alças de intestino delgado.

A mare subjected to laparotomy to treat a large colon volvulus had the large colon transected close to the cecocolic ligament followed by anastomosis using end-to-end technique. Despite intensive care, worsening of the clinical signs occurred during the first 24 hours after surgery including pain, enterogastric reflux and grievance of the endotoxemia symptoms. Euthanasia was performed. During necropsy, no signs of failure of the anastomosis and peritonitis were found but a strangulated segment of jejunum was observed adjacent to the cecocolic fold and compressed by the body of the cecum and the reminiscent rigth ventral colon. This finding was associated with the worsening of the clinical signs during the post-operative period. This report indicates that an adaptation in the large colon resection technique reducing the cecocolic space may be beneficial in avoiding such complication.
