RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the relationship between the expressions of checkpoint with forkhead-associated and ring finger(CHFR)and metastasis-associated protein 1(MACC1)and the sensitivity of patients with rectal cancer for neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy(nCRT).Methods:The medical documents of 166 patients with rectal cancer admitted to First Hospital of Qinhuangdao from March 2017 to February 2022 were collected.All patients only received nCRT before surgery,and the radiotherapy adopted three-dimensional conformal intensity modulated radiotherapy,and chemotherapy adopted Capeox scheme.All patients successfully completed total mesorectal excision after 4-6 weeks of nCRT treatment.Immunohistochemical SP staining method was used to detect the protein expressions of CHFR and MACC1 in rectal cancer and its adjacent tissues.According to the tumor regressive grading(TRG)standard of the Joint Committee on Cancer Staging in the United States,75 patients who were grade 0-2 as TRG after nCRT were included in the nCRT insensitive group,and 91 patients who were grade 3-4 as TRG were included in the nCRT sensitive group.The expression levels of CHFR and MACC1 proteins in cancer tissues before and after treatment between the two groups were compared.And then,the relationship between clinically pathological characteristics of patients and nCRT sensitivity was analyzed,and the influencing factors of nCRT sensitivity were analyzed.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves of them were drawn,and area under curve(AUC)values were calculated,and the predictive values of CHFR and MACC1 for the sensitivity of patients with rectal cancer to nCRT were further analyzed.Results:The CHFR positive expression rate in rectal cancer tissue was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues of rectal cancer,and the MACC1 positive expression rate in rectal cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues of rectal cancer(x2=81.373,87.150,P<0.05),respectively.After 166 patients completed the nCRT treatment,there were 6 cases of TRG grade 0,8 cases of TRG grade 1,61 cases of TRG grade 2,59 cases of TRG grade 3 and 32 cases of TRG grade 4.The sensitivity rate of nCRT was 54.82%(91/166).The CHFR positive expression rate in the nCRT sensitive group was significantly higher than that in the nCRT insensitive group,and the MACC1 positive expression rate in the nCRT sensitive group was significantly lower than that in the nCRT insensitive group(x2=4.613,37.509,P<0.05).The proportions of T4 stage and N+stage in the nCRT sensitive group were higher than those in the nCRT insensitive group,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=54.432,28.912,P<0.05),respectively.The expressions of CHFR and MACC1 were respectively independent risk factor affected the sensitivity of patients with rectal cancer to nCRT[OR=2.456(95% CI:1.294-4.563),OR=3.281(95% CI:1.472-6.479),P<0.05].The sensitivity and specificity of the combined detection of CHFR and MACC1 were respectively 65.89% and 69.46% in predicting the nCRT sensitivity for rectal cancer.The predictive value of the combined detection was higher than that of single CHFR detection and single MACC1 detection(AUC values of them were respectively 0.713,0.564,0.589,P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion:CHFR and MACC1 are related to the sensitivity of patients with rectal cancer to nCRT,which means patients with high expression of CHFR and low expression of MACC1 are more sensitive to nCRT.Therefore,both of them may be indicators that predict the sensitivity of patients with rectal cancer to nCRT.
RESUMEN
Introducción: Los extractos alergénicos Valergen® (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Blomia tropicalis y Dermatophagoides siboney), desarrollados en el Centro Nacional de Biopreparados para usarlos en pruebas cutáneas de pacientes con alergia, han demostrado altas sensibilidad y especificidad. Objetivo: Determinar la sensibilidad ante 2 concentraciones diferentes de extractos alergénicos de ácaros mediante pruebas cutáneas por punción. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal de 230 pacientes de 5 a 49 años de edad, atendidos en el Policlínico Docente Ernesto Guevara de la Serna de Niquero, provincia de Granma, durante el 2022. Las variables analizadas fueron respuestas positivas según la edad, tipo de extractos alergénicos, sensibilización según enfermedades alérgicas, así como reacción adversa local. Resultados: En ambas concentraciones, la de 20 000 UB/ml y la de 2000 UB/ml, predominaron el grupo etario de 5 a 13 años (47,0 %), las respuestas positivas (27,8 y 25,7 % para cada dilución) y el extracto alergénico Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (con 93,9 y 89,1 %, respectivamente). La rinitis fue la enfermedad alérgica con mayor sensibilización (29,1 % en la primera concentración y 28,3 % en la segunda). Los efectos adversos locales se presentaron solo en la de 20 000 UB/ml (3,9 %), con un diámetro promedio del habón de 15,9 mm (IC 95 %: 15,4 - 16,4 mm) para la reacción superior. Conclusiones: Los extractos alergénicos de ácaros con una concentración de 2000 UB/ml resultaron igualmente sensibles y seguros que la dilución establecida de 20 000 UB/ml, la cual es reconocida a escala nacional por su calidad como medio diagnóstico.
Introduction: The Valergen® allergenic extracts (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Blomia tropicalis and Dermatophagoides siboney), developed in the National Center for Biopreparations to use them in cutaneous tests to the patients with allergy, have demonstrated a high sensibility and specificity. Objective: To determine the sensibility considering 2 different concentrations of mite allergenic extracts by means of needle cutaneous tests. Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study of 230 patients aged 5 to 49 was carried out. They were assisted in Ernesto Guevara de la Serna Teaching Polyclinic in Niquero, Granma province, during 2022. The analyzed variables were positive responses according to age, type of allergenic extracts, sensitization according to allergic diseases, as well as local adverse reaction. Results: In both concentrations, 20 000 UB/ml and 2000 UB/ml, there was a prevalence of the 5 to 13 age group (47.0%), the positive responses (27.8 and 25.7% for each dilution) and the Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus allergenic extract (93.9 and 89.1%, respectively). Rhinitis was the allergic disease with more sensitization (29.1 in the first concentration and 28.3% in the second one). The local adverse events were just presented in that of 20 000 UB/ml (3.9%) with an average wheal diameter of 15.9 mm (IC 95%: 15.4 - 16.4 mm) for the higher reaction. Conclusions: Mite allergenic extracts with a concentration of 2000 UB/ml were equally sensitive and safe than the established dilution of 20 000 UB/ml, which is recognized on a national scale by its quality as diagnosis method.

A autora descreve o trabalho de supervisão como escuta da escuta do analista diante de seu analisando. Sugere que essa escuta supervisiva idealmente opera num espaço semelhante a uma atmosfera oniroide. Menciona uma reverie de outra reverie como parte de um processo de descolamento do senso comum, e discute o papel da teoria analítica durante o atendimento e numa supervisão. A presença da teoria é comparada à presença do sangue no corpo humano: nunca deve pesar na relação intersubjetiva do campo analítico.
The author describes the supervisory work as listening to listening of the analyst to his analysand. She suggests that this supervising Listening ideally operates in a space similar to an oneiroid atmosphere. She then mentions the operation of a reverie of another reverie, as part of a radical detachment of the common sense, and discusses the role of analytic theory during the session and a supervision. The presence of the theory is compared to the presence of blood in the human body: it must never weigh on the intersubjective relationship of the analytic field.

Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a positive-strand RNA virus. The virus can also be detected in many different specimens as throat swabs, nasal swabs, sputum, saliva, blood, etc. Objective: The aim of this paper is to compare the reliability of different types of specimen collection, saliva and swabs samples for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. Material and Methods: A sample of 22 COVID-19 positive patients was selected. Paired samples from saliva, nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal + oropharyngeal swabs were collected on the 7th day after diagnosis. The hyssops and medium employed was IMPROSWAB and IMPROVIRAL NAT Medium, Germany. The sample evaluation was conducted through RT-PCR. The results were compared using Fisher's exact test and ROC curve. The gold standard proposed in this paper was the nasopharyngeal + oropharyngeal swabs specimen. Results: The gold standard method detected 10 true positive cases, of which oropharyngeal swabs, nasopharyngeal swabs and saliva only detected three positive cases. Significant differences (Fisher's exact test p = 0.003) were detected in the comparison between saliva and the gold standart proposed. The ROC curve analysis showed that saliva had an area under the curve of 0.650, with a 30 percent of sensibility. However, the nasopharyngeal and nasopharyngeal + oropharyngeal samples had an area under curve of 0.950 and 1.000, respectively, with a sensibility of 90 percent and 100 percent, respectively. Conclusion: Saliva samples are not a reliable specimen for SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection. In turn, the most reliable specimens are nasopharyngeal and nasopharyngeal + oropharyngeal samples collected by swabbing(AU)
Introducción: El SARS-CoV-2 es un virus ARN positivo. Este virus puede ser detectado en diferentes tipos de secreción como hisopada bucal, nasal, esputo, saliva, sangre, etc. Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio es comparar la confiabilidad de diferentes tipos de muestras, saliva y exudado, en la detección de SARS-CoV-2. Material y Métodos: Una muestra de 22 pacientes con diagnóstico de Covid-19 fue estudiada. Se tomaron muestras pareadas de saliva y exudado nasofaríngeo y orofaríngeo en cada paciente. Se emplearon los hisopos y medios de la firma alemana IMPROVE®. Los resultados de las determinaciones por RT-PCR se compararon mediante test de Fisher (test de la probabilidad exacta de Fisher) y cada sets de muestras fue evaluada individualmente y luego comparadas por curvas ROC. El estándar de oro propuesto fue el doble hisopado nasofaríngeo/orofaríngeo. Resultados: El método de oro propuesto detectó 10 casos positivos. La coincidencia de detección entre todos los sets de muestras fue de 3 casos (30 por ciento). Se obtuvieron diferencias significativas (Fisher p = 0.003) en la comparación de los casos detectados en saliva vs el estándar de oro. El análisis de curvas ROC mostró un área bajo la curva de 0.650 (30 por ciento de sensibilidad) para la saliva. En el caso del hisopado nasofaríngeo y el estándar de oro mostraron un área bajo la curva de 0.95 y 1.00, respectivamente, con una sensibilidad del 90 (AU) por ciento y 100 por ciento, respectivamente. Conclusiones: La saliva no es una muestra confiable para la detección de SARS-CoV-2. La muestra más confiable para el diagnóstico fue el hisopado nasofaríngeo y el doble hisopado(AU)

Objetivo: O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar o perfil de sensibilidade antimicrobiana do patógeno mais comum causador da infecção do trato urinário (ITU) de gestantes que foram internadas em um hospital de ensino do município de São Paulo em determinado período. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo, transversal, quantitativo, realizado avaliando as uroculturas positivas e o perfil de sensibilidade antimicrobiana dos agentes mais comuns encontrados em ITUs das gestantes de hospital e maternidade-escola do município de São Paulo de janeiro de 2019 ateÌ janeiro de 2020. Resultados: A partir da análise de uroculturas positivas e antibiograma de 149 gestantes admitidas com quadro de infecção urinária no referido hospital no intervalo de tempo analisado, constatou-se que 83,89% dos casos apresentaram como patógeno a bacteÌria Escherichia coli. No âmbito da resistência bacteriana, percebeu-se que o maior índice foi encontrado no que tange a cefalotina (65%), ampicilina (58%) e ampicilina/sulbactam (45%). Ademais, a partir das análises individuais, 20 pacientes, ou seja, aproximadamente 13,42% apresentaram cepas sensíveis a todas as medicações apontadas, e as demais apresentaram resistência a, pelo menos, uma delas. Conclusão: A partir da premissa de eficácia desempenhada pelo protocolo de medicação empírica estabelecido pela instituição no tocante ao tratamento de infecção do trato urinário em gestantes, a cefalotina certamente não deveria compor o rol de drogas ofertadas às pacientes. Isso se dá, pois a sensibilidade apresentada pela Escherichia coli, patógeno que mais comumente está associado aos quadros de ITU do serviço, a essa droga eÌ muito baixa. Já a nitrofurantoína apresentou um satisfatório espectro de cobertura, sendo a resistência à droga inferior a 10%. Com isso, conclui-se que ela deve permanecer como droga inicial para as ITUs das gestantes que chegam a essa instituição.(AU)
Objective: The present study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial sensitivity profile of the most common pathogen that causes urinary tract infection (ITU) in pregnant women who were admitted to a Teaching Hospital in the city of São Paulo in a specific period. Methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional, quantitative study carried out evaluating positive urine cultures and the antimicrobial sensitivity profile of the most common agents found in ITU of pregnant women at Teaching Maternity hospital in the city of São Paulo from January 2019 to January 2020. Results: From the of positive urine culture and antibiogram of 149 pregnant women admitted with a urinary tract infection in the referred hospital in the analyzed period of time, it was found that 83.89% of the cases presented the bacterium Escherichia coli as a pathogen. In the scope of bacterial resistance, it was noticed that the highest index was found with respect to Cephalothin (65%), ampicillin (58%) and ampicillin/sulbactam (45%). Furthermore, from the individual analyzes, 20 patients, that is, approximately 13.42% had strains sensitive to all the medications indicated, with the others showing resistance to at least one of them. Conclusion: Based on the premise of efficacy performed by the empirical medication protocol established by the institution regarding the treatment of urinary tract infection in pregnant women, Cephalothin should certainly not be included in the list of drugs offered to patients. This happens because the sensitivity presented by Escherichia coli, the most commonly pathogen associated with the UTI pathogen of the service, to this drug is very low. Nitrofurantoin, on the other hand, presented a satisfactory coverage spectrum, with drug resistance below 10%. Thus, it is concluded that this should remain as an initial drug for ITUs of pregnant women who arrive at this institution.(AU)

Apresento a escrita de minha experiência de criação do campo de estágio em Plantão Psicológico fundamentado na Abordagem Gestáltica num curso de graduação em Psicologia numa Instituição particular de Ensino Superior no Rio de Janeiro. Sendo escassa a literatura gestáltica neste tema, recorri a autores baseados em Carl Rogers, em cuja abordagem há farta oferta de publicações, o que me permitiu criar boas conexões com autores da Gestalt-terapia. Chamei para compor esse diálogo autores da Psicologia Social e, assim, proponho o único atendimento no Plantão Psicológico Gestáltico como uma prática de clínica ampliada que pró-move deslocamentos nos fazeres acadêmicos na graduação em Psicologia por expandir as práticas clínicos na clínica-escola para além da psicoterapia bipessoal e por propor a sensibilidade como condição de encorpamento ético nos fazeres psicológicos. Finalizo, indicando o Plantão Psicológico Gestáltico como uma prática política e inclusiva, portanto, democrática, contemplando contemporaneamente a demanda por atenção psicológica pontual, em diferentes espaços e contextos - fomentando atenção especialmente à nossa formação universitária.

I present the writing of my experience of creating the field of internship on Psychological Duty based on the Gestaltic Approach in a graduation course in Psychology in a private Institution of Higher Education in Rio de Janeiro. Being the gestalt literature scarce on this subject, I have resorted to authors based on Carl Rogers, in whose approach there is a large supply of publications, which allowed me to create good connections with Gestalt-therapy authors. I called authors of Social Psychology to compose this dialogue and so, I propose the only service in the Gestaltic Psychological Duty as an expanded clinic practice, which promotes displacements in the academic studies in Psychology by expanding clinical practices in the clinic-school beyond bipersonal psychotherapy and for proposing sensitivity as a condition of ethical embodiment in psychological studies. I conclude by indicating the Gestaltic Psychological Duty as a political and inclusive practice, therefore, democratic, contemporaneously contemplating the demand for punctual psychological attention, in different spaces and contexts - fostering attention especially to our university education.

RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la actividad antimicrobiana de un cultivo de Streptomyces sp. 6E3 aislado de minerales frente a diferentes cepas patógenas, producir un extracto y estimar la concen tración mínima inhibitoria (CMI) de las fracciones contra Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina (SARM). La cepa Streptomyces sp. 6E3 mostró actividad antimicrobiana principalmente contra Staphy lococcus aureus (S. aureus). Cinco de las seis fracciones presentaron actividad antimicrobiana y la más efectiva dio una CMI de 0,88 ug/mL frente a S. aureus ATCC 33862, 0,44 ug/mL frente a S. aureus ATCC 43300 y 1,76 ug/mL frente a S. aureus cepa SARM. Streptomyces sp. 6E3 tiene un potencial antimicrobiano frente a cepas de S. aureus resistentes a meticilina y no resistentes, siendo de interés la realización de más estudios sobre sus metabolitos activos.
ABSTRACT The objectives of this study were to determine the antimicrobial activity of a culture of Streptomyces sp. 6E3 isolated from minerals against different pathogenic strains, to produce an extract and to estimate the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the fractions against methicillin-resistant Staphylococ cus aureus (MRSA). Streptomyces sp. 6E3 showed antimicrobial activity primarily against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Five of the six fractions presented antimicrobial activity and the most effective gave a MIC of 0.88 ug / mL against S. aureus ATCC 33862, 0.44 ug / mL against S. aureus ATCC 43300 and 1.76 ug / mL vs. a S. aureus MRSA strain.

Se ha demostrado la asociación de los microbios intestinales Firmicutes y Bacteroidetes con la hipertensión arterial, inclusive en personas sensibles a la sal. Asimismo, la disminución de la microbiota por los antibióticos puede aumentar o disminuir la tensión arterial acorde a la influencia del genotipo. En este artículo se comunican algunos argumentos sobre el tema y, además, se explica cómo la función biológica de los probióticos también puede ser el resultado de modificaciones epigenéticas, relacionado, en parte, con el micro-ARN, y cómo los productos de la fermentación de los nutrientes por la microbiota pueden influir en la tensión arterial regulando el gasto energético, el metabolismo intestinal de las catecolaminas, el transporte iónico gastrointestinal y renal y, con ello, la sensibilidad a la sal. Por último, se concluye que el efecto beneficioso o deletéreo de la microbiota intestinal sobre la tensión arterial es una consecuencia de distintas variables, incluidas las genéticas y epigenéticas, así como el estilo de vida y el uso de antibióticos.
The association of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes intestinal microbes with hypertension has been demonstrated, including people sensitive to salt. Also, the microbiota decrease due to antibiotics can increase or diminish the blood pressure according to the genotype influence. Some arguments on the topic are communicated in this work and, also, it is explained how the biological function of probiotics can also be the result of epigenetics modifications, related, to some extent, to the micro-RNA, and how the nutrients fermentation products due to microbiota can influence in blood pressure regulating the energy expense, intestinal metabolism of catecholamines and gastrointestinal and renal ionic transportation, and with it the sensibility to salt. Lastly, it is concluded that the beneficial or deleterious effect of intestinal microbiota on blood pressure is a consequence of different variables, including genetics and epigenetics variables, as well as lifestyle and use of antibiotics.

Este estudo teve como objetivo central investigar como o brincar e o se-movimentar são proporcionados no espaço escolar e de que maneira eles contribuem para a educação da sensibilidade da criança pequena. Foi desenvolvido um estudo de caso que envolveu duas escolas municipais da cidade de Capinzal, SC; uma localizada no interior do município e a outra na cidade. Foi selecionada uma turma de crianças entre 4 e 6 anos de idade em cada escola, que totalizaram 40 crianças. Constatou-se que o brincar e o se-movimentar nas escolas estudadas acontecem muitas vezes por intermédio do controle dos professores, sempre com o intuito de promover uma competição e de chegar a um resultado final. Portanto, nas escolas investigadas, o incentivo à construção de situações que possibilitem o desenvolvimento da sensibilidade recebe pouca importância, o que compromete significativamente a educação da sensibilidade dessas crianças e limita o poder de criação.
Thus, this study had as main objective to investigate about the ways as the play and the move yourself are proposed in the school environment and how they contribute for the sensibility education to the child. First, it was developed a theorical research about the subjets and the fundamental authors, that suply the base for the second part of the study. This other step was an empirical study that involved two municipal schools from the city of Capinzal, SC; one located in the countryside and the other one downtown. It was chosen a class of chuildren from 4 to 6 years old in each school, that totaling 40 children. Therefore, in the investigated schools, the stimulus to situations construction that enable the sensibility development receives little importance, what commits meaningly the sensibility education of these children and limits the creation' power.

RESUMEN
Abstract The present study assessed oxygen saturation (SaO2) levels before, during, and after at-home bleaching treatment in the pulps of healthy maxillary central incisors. SaO2 levels were measured in 136 healthy maxillary central incisors using a pulse oximeter. The bleaching protocol consisted of 10% carbamide peroxide gel placed in individual trays and used for four hours daily for 14 days. SaO2 levels were assessed before bleaching (T0), immediately after the first session (T1), on the 7th day of treatment (T2), on the 15th day (the day following the last session) (T3), and 30 days after completion of the bleaching protocol (T4). Data were statistically analyzed using generalized estimating equations (GEE), Student's t test (p<0.05) and Pearson's correlation. Mean pulp SaO2 levels were 85.1% at T0, 84.9% at T1, 84.7% at T2, 84.3% at T3, and 85.0% at T4. Gradual reductions in SaO2 levels were observed, with significant differences (p<0.001) during the course of home bleaching treatment. However, 30 days after the end of the bleaching protocol, SaO2 levels returned to baseline levels. Home bleaching caused a reversible transient decrease in SaO2 levels in the pulps.
Resumo Este estudo verificou o grau de saturação de oxigênio (SaO2) pulpar antes, durante e após o clareamento dental caseiro em incisivos centrais superiores hígidos. O nível de SaO2 foi verificado em 136 incisivos centrais superiores hígidos usando oxímetro de pulso. A técnica de clareamento empregou peróxido de carbamida 10% em moldeira individual por quatro horas diárias durante 14 dias. Os níveis de SaO2 foram analisados antes do clareamento (T0), imediatamente após a primeira sessão (T1), no sétimo dia de tratamento (T2), no décimo quinto dia (um dia após a última sessão) (T3) e 30 dias após o término do clareamento dental (T4). A análise estatística utilizou o modelo de equações de estimações generalizadas (GEE), teste t de Student (p<0,05) e correlação de Pearson. Os níveis médios de SaO2 pulpar foram 85,1% em T0, 84,9% em T1, 84,7% em T2, 84,3% em T3 e 85,0% em T4. Foi observada uma redução gradual dos níveis de SaO2, com diferenças significantes (p<0,001) durante o clareamento dental caseiro. No entanto, 30 dias após o término do clareamento dental, houve retorno aos valores iniciais. O clareamento dental caseiro provocou uma diminuição transitória reversível no grau de SaO2 pulpar.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) es un microorganismo cuya importancia como agente infeccioso ha permanecido a través de los años, pero que se ha convertido en una emergencia y un grave problema de salud pública, como respuesta a la evolución en su comportamiento ante los antimicrobianos de primera línea para su tratamiento y al surgimiento de cepas multi-resistentes, lo que amerita el uso de alternativas terapéuticas que permitan su control. El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar el comportamiento in vitro de M. tuberculosis ante el antimicótico fluconazol, para su posible uso como alternativa terapéutica. Para ello, se evaluaron 6 cepas de M. tuberculosis: 2 resistentes a rifampicina, 2 resistentes a isoniazida y 2 sensibles a ambos antimicrobianos, Se utilizó el método de Concentración Inhibitoria Mínima, utilizando la técnica en microplaca con Azul de Alamar y la técnica de dilución en tubo. Ambas metodologías mostraron sensibilidad ante bajas concentraciones de fluconazol (0,0625 µg/ml). Todas las cepas fueron sensibles a la combinación fluconazol/isoniazida; mientras que, a la combinación fluconazol/rifampicina mostraron resistencia, indicando el efecto antagónico de la rifampicina sobre el fluconazol. Los resultados permiten concluir y sugerir el posible uso terapéutico del fluconazol ante las infecciones asociadas por M. tuberculosis.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) is a microorganism whose importance as an infectious agent has remained over the years but which has become a recent emergency and a serious public health problem in response to the evolution in its behavior against first-line antimicrobials, for its treatment and the emergence of multi-resistant strains, which require the use of therapeutic alternatives that allow its control. The objective of the work was to evaluate the in vitro behavior of M. tuberculosis before the antifungal agent fluconazole, for its possible use as a therapeutic alternative. To this, six strains were evaluated M. tuberculosis: 2 resistants to rifampicin, 2 resistants to isoniazid and 2 sensitive to both antimicrobials. We used the method of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration, using the microplate technique with Alamar Blue and the tube technique. Both methodologies showed sensitivity to low concentrations of fluconazole (0.0625 µg/ml). All strains were sensitive to the fluconazole / isoniazid combination; whereas, when exposed to the fluconazole / rifampicin combination, the strains showed resistance, indicating the antagonistic effect of rifampicin on fluconazole. The results allow us to conclude and suggest the possible therapeutic use of fluconazole against infections associated with M. tuberculosis.
RESUMEN
Abstract This study determined the oxygen saturation (SaO2) in dental pulp of healthy maxillary and mandibular molars. Mean of SaO2 was evaluated in 112 maxillary and mandibular molars using pulse oximetry. Quantitative variables were described by mean and standard deviation. Variables with symmetric distribution were compared by Student t test and Mann-Whitney test. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to correlate quantitative variables. Analysis of variance was used to assess differences in SaO2 levels between the molar groups, followed by post-hoc Tukey. The significance level established at p<0.05. Mean of oxygen saturation for the 112 molar dental pulps was 85.09%. There was no significant correlation (r=-0.007; p=0.977) between the mean of SaO2 of molar pulps with patient´s indicator finger (92.89%). There was a significant difference (p=0.037) between the mean of SaO2 of the first (85.76%) and second maxillary molars (81.87%), and it was not significant (p=0.1775) between the first and second mandibular molars. Maxillary molars had lower pulpal SaO2 (83.59%) than mandibular molars (86.89%) (p=0.018). The mean of the patient's response time to the cold stimulus was 1.12 s (maxillary molars 1.25 s and mandibular molars 0.99 s)(p=0.052). There was no significant correlation between the time response of the patient to the cold stimulus and the SaO2 for molars. The mean oxygen saturation level was 85.09%. The mandibular molars presented higher SaO2 level than maxillary molars.
Resumo Este estudo determinou o nível de saturação de oxigênio (SaO2) em polpas dentais hígidas de molares. O nível de SaO2 foi avaliado em 112 molares superiores e inferiores usando oxímetro de pulso. As variáveis quantitativas foram descritas pela média e desvio padrão. As variáveis com distribuição simétrica foram comparadas pelo teste t de Student e teste de Mann-Whitney. O coeficiente de correlação de Pearson foi utilizado para correlacionar variáveis quantitativas. A análise de variância foi utilizada para avaliar as diferenças nos níveis de SaO2 entre os grupos de molares, seguido de Tukey pós-hoc. A significância foi estabelecida em 0,05. O nível médio de SaO2 para as polpas de 112 molares foi de 85,09%, não havendo correlação com a média de SaO2 do dedo indicador do paciente (92,89%). Houve diferença significativa entre o nível médio de SaO2 dos primeiros molares superiores (85,76%) e os segundos molares superiores (81,87%) e não foi significativo entre os primeiros e os segundos molares inferiores. Os molares superiores apresentaram menor nível de SaO2 (83,59%) do que os molares inferiores (86,89%). A média do tempo de resposta do paciente ao estímulo com frio foi de 1,12 s (molares superiores 1,25 segundos e molares inferiores 0,99 segundos). Não houve correlação significativa entre o tempo de resposta do paciente ao estímulo com frio e o nível de saturação de oxigênio para os molares. Em resumo, o nível médio de saturação de oxigênio foi de 85,09%. Os molares inferiores apresentaram maior nível de SaO2 do que os molares superiors

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine oxygen saturation levels in the dental pulp of maxillary premolars in different age groups. A total of 120 human maxillary premolars with normal dental pulps were selected covering the following age groups: 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39 and 40-44 years (n=24 each group). Oxygen saturation was assessed using pulse oximetry. Analysis of variance was used to assess differences in oxygen saturation levels and Tukey's test was used to identify the age groups that differed from each other. Significance was set at 0.05. Mean oxygen saturation of 120 premolars was 86.20% considering all age groups. Significantly reduced levels were found in the oldest group compared to the other groups: 40 to 44 years - 80.00% vs. 89.71, 87.67, 88.71, and 84.80% for age groups 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39 years, respectively. The mean oxygen saturation levels were similar between 20 and 39 years of age (86.20%) in the whole sample, but reduced significantly in the 40-44-year age group, suggesting that older patients present lower oxygen saturation results even in the absence of pulp tissue injury.
Resumo Este estudo determinou os níveis de saturação de oxigênio (SaO2) em polpas dentárias de pré-molares superiores em diferentes faixas etárias. Foram selecionados 120 pré-molares superiores humanos com polpas dentárias normais, abrangendo os seguintes grupos etários: 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39 e 40-44 anos (n=24 para cada grupo). A saturação de oxigênio foi avaliada utilizando oximetria de pulso. A análise de variância foi utilizada para avaliar diferenças nos níveis de saturação de oxigênio, e o teste de Tukey foi utilizado para identificar os grupos etários que diferiam uns dos outros. A significância foi estabelecida em 0,05. A saturação média de oxigênio foi de 86,20% considerando todos os grupos etários. Níveis significativamente reduzidos foram encontrados no grupo de indivíduos de maior idade em comparação aos outros grupos: 40 a 44 anos - 80,00% vs. 89,71, 87,67, 88,71 e 84,80% para os grupos etários 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39 anos. Os níveis médios de saturação de oxigênio foram semelhantes entre os 20 e os 39 anos de idade (86,20%), mas reduziram-se significativamente na faixa etária de 40-44 anos, sugerindo que os pacientes mais idosos apresentam menor saturação de oxigênio mesmo na ausência de lesão do tecido pulpar.

Objective To observe the expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT3) in chronic myeloid leukemia cells K562 and analyze the influence of these changes to the cell proliferation,differentiation and drug resistance.Methods We constructed recombinant eukaryotic expression vector siRNA-STAT3,and transfected them into K562 cells with the help of lipofactamine 3000.Then stable monoclonal cells would be screened by puromycin and validated by Western blot.Inhibition rate of the cell growth to imatinib(IM) was determined by MTT method.Meanwhile,the related protein of BCR/ABL fusion protein was detected.Results Compared with the control group,low expression of STAT3 in the K562 cell group using IM treatment had a high inhibition rate,under different concentrations,the inhibition rate was statistically significant(P < 0.05).While in the high expression of STAT3 cells,at the same concentration gradient under the action of IM,and the differences between groups were also statistically significant(P < 0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference of the inhibition rate in the two control groups.We also detected the similar expression levels of the related protein of BCR/ABL fusion protein,P53,HAUSP and PTEN.Conclusion Low expression of the STAT3 protein enhances the sensitivity of K562 cells to IM,which may result in a further reduction in the subsequent resistance of the K562 cells to IM treatment by inhibiting the STAT3 protein.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE To observe prenatal nicotine exposure (PNE) induced high sensitivity of hypo?thalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in offspring rats which were fed with a high-fat diet, and to explore the mechanism. METHODS Nicotine (2 mg·kg-1 per day) was injected subcutaneously to preg?nant Wistar rats from gestational day (GD) 9 to GD20,and then the young rats were naturally delivered. After weaning, half of the offspring was fed with a high-fat diet until postnatal weeks (PW) 20. The others were exposed to unpredictable chronic stress (UCS) from PW17 to PW20. The pathological changes in the hippocampus were analyzed by HE staining. The blood concentration of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and corticosterone (CORT) was detected by RIA kits and ELISA kits, respectively. Meanwhile, real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of ACTH releasing hormone (CRH), arginine vasopressin (AVP), vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VGluT2), glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65), mineralocorticoid receptor (MR),glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and glutamic acid decarboxylase 67 (GAD67). RESULTS In the normal control group,UCS treatment increased the level of serum ACTH and CORT 1.96 and 3.24 times in female rats,but 1.63 and 3.54 times in male rats. In the PNE group, UCS treatment increased the level of serum ACTH and CORT 3.96 and 5.98 times in female rats, but 3.04 and 5.22 times male rats. PNE increased the mRNA expression of AVP in the female and male rats 2.04 and 1.13 times in UCS treatment control group, and the mRNA expression of hypothalamus CRH and the ratio of VGLuT2/ GAD65 were increased 2.49 and 1.14 times in female rats, respectively. Furthermore, the nicotine group exhibited histological changes to different degrees in the hippocampus and dentate gyrus area of the hippocampus. In the female and male nicotine groups, the mRNA ratio of hippocampal MR/GR decreased by 88.0% and 86.0% in comparison with the normal control group without UCS, and the mRNA expression of GAD67 was enhanced 1.38 and 1.97 times in female and male rats without UCS. In the female UCS treatment nicotine groups, the mRNA expression of GAD67 was increased 2.17 times compared with the UCS treatment control group. CONCLUSION PNE can induce a high sensibility of HPA axis in offspring rats fed with a high-fat diet. The imbalance of hippo?campus MR/GR and the enhanced expression of GAD67 mRNA may be involved.
