David Capistrano Costa Filho: uma narrativa no Campo da Saúde e Educação

Apresentamos uma pesquisa de abordagem narrativa sobre a trajetória de David Capistrano da Costa Filho, com ênfase em suas contribuições à Saúde Coletiva, com o duplo objetivo de explicitar a atualidade de seus pressupostos e partilhar um recurso metodológico no ensino em saúde. Trata-se de uma narrativa biográfica póstuma ancorada nas diretrizes de um módulo de graduação oferecido na Universidade Federal de São Paulo, denominado Encontros e Produção de Narrativas. O referido módulo é ofertado a seis cursos da saúde, no formato interdisciplinar, visando uma abordagem comum às diversas profissões, para a produção do cuidado, em acordo com os princípios do SUS. O método para a construção desta narrativa se ateve ao levantamento de informações, oriundas de livros escritos pelo e sobre o autor, artigos e documentos em formato impresso e audiovisual, tais como depoimentos, cartas e entrevistas disponíveis na literatura cinzenta e especializada. As informações foram levantadas no período de 2019 a 2021 e organizadas em uma ordem cronológica dos fatos. Considerando o protagonismo de David, falecido no ano 2000, mas eternizado pelas suas obras, especialmente na cidade de Santos, parece-nos profícuo, na condição de educadores/as, estimular as novas gerações, por meio da abordagem narrativa e biográfica, a conhecer experiências que subordinem a ordem política ao bem-viver, em perspectiva atemporal.

A feminização do homem hétero em eXistenZ, de David Cronenberg / The feminization of the straight man in eXistenZ, by David Cronenberg / La feminización del hombre hetero en eXistenZ, de David Cronenberg

Este artigo propõe uma revisitação analítica ao filme eXistenZ (1999), de David Cronenberg, focalizando um de seus temas centrais, mas pouco explorado por sua fortuna crítica: a feminização do homem no espaço das práticas eróticas heterossexuais. O tema se articula no filme, em nosso entendimento, por meio de suas figurações alegóricas da erotização anal do homem e dos erotismos tântrico e taoista. Nossa abordagem exploratória tem o duplo caráter metodológico de interpretação fílmica e escuta psicanalítica, construindo-se nas interfaces entre os campos da psicanálise e dos estudos de cinema. Ela se ampara também em conceitual dos campos dos estudos dos homens e das masculinidades, feministas e queer, e, para fins de descrição do objeto, em subsídios buscados nos emergentes estudos acadêmicos tântricos e taoístas. Em psicanálise, mobilizamos conceitual antifalocêntrico de formulação recente por autores como Jacques André, Gerald I. Fogel, Silvia Bleichmar e Monique Schneider.

This article proposes an analytical revisitation of the film eXistenZ (1999), by David Cronenberg, focusing on one of its central themes, but little explored by its critical fortune: male feminization in the arena of heterosexual erotic practices. The theme is articulated in the film, in our understanding, through its (1) allegorical figuration of man's anal eroticization and of the tantric and daoist eroticisms. Our exploratory approach has the double methodological character of film interpretation and psychoanalytic listening, built at the interfaces between the fields of psychoanalysis and film studies. It is also supported by concepts from the academic fields of men's and masculinities, feminist and queer studies, and, for the purpose of describing the object, from subsidies sought in the emerging Tantric and Daoist academic studies. In psychoanalysis, we mobilize recent antiphallocentric formulations by scholars such as Jacques André, Gerald I. Fogel, Silvia Bleichmar and Monique Schneider.

SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACTORS THAT IMPACT CRYPTOCURRENCY

This research paper revolves around several factors that affect cryptocurrency and its efficiency shortly. Many great scholars have talked differently about this concept. To find where cryptocurrency is bound to be, a survey was conducted with necessary questions and a total of 200 responses were received which in turn, helped us to analyze and interpret various economic and social factors impacting its standing in the business sector. Certain limitations and suggestions were generated at the end of the research analysis, followed by the conclusion. It also explores the users' confidence in dealing with cryptocurrency in a time when the usage of such virtual cash was not fully managed and regulated. Besides, the paper is aimed to measure the spread of cryptocurrency use to have a clear photo from the practical view. The paper additionally analyses how certain remarkable international locations have responded in terms of recommendations

The depressed text / O texto deprimido / Le texte déprimé / El texto deprimido

North American writer David Foster Wallace wrote two short stories - The Planet Trillaphon As It Stands In Relation To The Bad Thing and The Depressed Person - that depict depression, in each one taking different yet complementary perspectives on this subject. Our aim is to analyze these texts and to discuss the role literature can have in regard to the apprehension of subjective experiences of others. Whereas the first text attempts to describe depression objectively, the second one describes the impossibility of doing so, focusing on literary techniques that create distressing subjective experiences in the reader, possibly resembling those felt by depressed persons. We suggest that literature might be helpful to comprehend some aspects of the experience of being depressed and that such an understanding may enrich psychiatric practice.

O escritor estadunidense David Foster Wallace escreveu dois contos - The Planet Trillaphon As It Stand In Relation To The Bad Thing e The Depressed Person - que abordam a temática da depressão, em cada um adotando perspectivas distintas e complementares. Nosso objetivo é analisar esses textos e discutir alguns aspectos do acesso à experiência subjetiva de outras pessoas, mais especificamente o papel da literatura nesse processo. Enquanto o primeiro texto descreve a depressão objetivamente, o segundo descreve a impossibilidade de fazer tal descrição, focando em técnicas literárias que criam experiências subjetivas desagradáveis, possivelmente semelhantes às sentidas pelas pessoas deprimidas. Nós sugerimos que a literatura pode ser útil na compreensão de alguns aspectos da experiência de estar deprimido, e que tal compreensão pode enriquecer a prática psiquiátrica.

L'écrivain nord-américain David Foster Wallace a écrit deux contes - « The Planet Trillaphon As It Stand In Relation To The Bad Thing ¼ et « The Depressed Person ¼ - abordant le thème de la dépression, en adoptant dans chacun de ces textes des perspectives distinctes et complémentaires. Notre but est de les analyser et de discuter certains aspects de l'accès à l'expérience subjective d'autres personnes, en nous intéressant tout particulièrement au rôle de la littérature dans ce processus. Alors que le premier texte décrit la dépression de façon objective, le second décrit l'impossibilité d'en faire une telle description, se concentrant sur des techniques littéraires créant des expériences subjectives désagréables, potentiellement semblables à celles ressenties par les personnes déprimées. Nous suggérons que la littérature peut être utile dans la compréhension de certains aspects de l'expérience de l'être déprimé et qu'une telle compréhension peut enrichir la pratique psychiatrique.

Actos de habla en dos sesiones de mediación de conflictos en casos de custodia de hijos: análisis con el método psicoanalítico Algortimo David Liberman (ADL) / Speaking acts in two conflict mediation sessions in cases of child custody: Analysis with the psychoanalytical method Algortimo David Liberman (ADL)

Este artículo presenta una investigación que busca comprender los procesos intersubjetivos en mediación de conflictos familiares. Presenta fragmentos de dos sesiones de mediación analizadas con el método ADL (Algoritmo David Liberman) al respecto de los actos de habla de los participantes. Fue trabajada una sesión que generó acuerdo y otra sesión que no lo generó. Los resultados obtenidos en todas las sesiones mostraron el predominio de característica anal, deseo A2, con defensas Acordes afines en estado exitoso, mientras que la diferencia ocurrió en la transformación de tipo de defensa. En la sesión fracasada, las defensas cambiaron por represión y desmentida en la parte final de los diálogos, lo que entendemos, imposibilitó el diálogo constructivo entre los participantes, mientras que, en la sesión exitosa, los cambios por represión y desmentida ocurrieron al inicio y retornaron a defensas Acordes afines en la parte final de la sesión, esencial para que se produjera el acuerdo(AU)

This article presents an investigation that seeks to understand the intersubjective processes in mediation of family conflicts. It presents fragments of two mediation sessions analyzed with the ADL method (David Liberman Algorithm) regarding the speech acts of the participants. A session that generated an agreement and another session that did not generate it was worked on. The results obtained showed the predominance of the anal characteristic, desire A2, with related Chord defenses in a successful state, while the difference occurred in the transformation of the type of defense. In the unsuccessful session, the defenses changed to repression and denial in the final part of the dialogues, which we understand made constructive dialogue between participants impossible, while in the successful session, the changes due to repression an d denial occurred at the beginning and They returned to likeminded Chords defenses in the final part of the session, essential for the deal to come about(AU)

Our management in vascular Behçet patients with ascending aorta aneurysm: 6 years’ experience

Background: Ascending aortic involvement in Behçet’s disease is very rare, and often accompanied by aortic root dilatation. In cases with aortic valve insufficiency without valve structure impairment, valve-sparing surgery can be performed. This study aimed to investigate the mid-term results of patients with ascending aortic involvement and selected surgical procedures according to the valve structure among those vascular Behçets disease.Methods: A total of 13 Behçet’s disease with aortic involvement operated at our center from January 2012 to 2018 was retrospectively investigated. Bentall or david valve-sparing operations were preferred according to the aortic valve status. Postoperative echocardiography and computed tomography imaging was performed periodically for aortic valve competence and pseudoaneurysm formation.Results: Bentall procedure was performed in 7 (54%) patients, and 6 (46%) patients were undergone valve-sparing David procedure. Operative mortality was 7.7%, one patient died of major gastrointestinal bleeding 3 months after the operation. After 51±23 (ranged 23 to 94) months of follow-up, no other mortality occurred, overall survival rates were 84.6%, two patients had minimally aortic regurgitation and one patient had mild regurgitation in David procedure. In Bentall procedure, no paravalvular leakage was found during follow-up.Conclusions: The database of our retrospective study regarding age and sex incidence, clinicopathological features and therapeutic outcome was comparable to other studies in various literatures.

Effects of angiotensin II receptor blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors on COVID-19: a narrative review of the literature / Efectos de bloqueadores del receptor de angiotensina II e inhibidores de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina en COVID-19: una revisión narrativa de la literatura / Efeitos dos bloqueadores do receptor da angiotensina II e inibidores da enzima de conversão da angiotensina no COVID-19: uma revisão narrativa da literatura

Introduction: An outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is currently affec-ting worldwide. The association between this virus and the upregulation of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) has been suggested as a potential as an important factor in the development of Coronavirus Disease- 19 (COVID-19). Objective: To describe the relationship between some antihypertensive treatments and COVID-19. Methods: A research was conducted with the components of the PIO (Population, Intervention, Outcomes) strate-gy, including the literature of the last 20 years available in central PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase databases. All relevant articles that assessed the epidemiological relationship between SARS-CoV-2 and hyperten-sion, the treatment and outcomes of the patients who have this comorbidity, as well as the relationship between the RAA axis and COVID-19 were included in the analysis. Results: A total of 292 items were found in the databases. After a thorough analysis, 17 papers were selected, including in vitro and in vivo tests, clinical trials, and epidemiological studies related to the topic analyzed. Conclusion: Due to the systemic benefits of antihypertensive drugs targeting the RAA axis, and the lack of eviden-ce of these treatments being a risk factor, It is not recommended to withdraw these medications from hypertensive patients infected with SARS-CoV 2, unless there is a clinical indication.

Introducción: el surgimiento y diseminación del coronavirus tipo 2 del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo (SARS-CoV-2), actualmente, afecta a la mayoría de los del mundo. La asociación entre este virus y la regulación positiva de la enzima convertidora de angiotensina 2 (ACE2) se ha sugerido como un factor potencial en el desarrollo de la enfermedad por coronavirus-19 (COVID- 19). Objetivo: describir la relación entre algunos tratamientos antihipertensivos y la COVID-19. Métodos: se revisaron los componentes de la estrategia PIO (población, intervención, resultados). Se incluyeron todos los artículos relevantes de los últimos 20 años disponibles en las bases de datos centrales PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus y Embase, que describen la relación epidemiológica entre SARS-CoV-2 e hipertensión, el tratamiento y el desenlace de los pacientes quienes tienen esta comor-bilidad, así como la relación entre el eje renina-angiotensina-aldosterona y COVID-19. Resultados: se encontraron inicialmente 292 artículos en las bases de datos, para finalmente seleccio-nar 17 artículos, incluyendo exámenes in vivo e in vitro, ensayos clínicos y estudios epidemiológicos relacionados con el tema analizado. Conclusión: debido a los beneficiosos efectos sistémicos del tratamiento antihipertensivo, cuyo blanco es el sistema renina-angiotensina- aldosterona, y a la falta de evidencia acerca de estos me-dicamentos en cuanto a la inducción de SARS-CoV-2, no se recomienda suspender o contraindicar el tratamiento con estos fármacos en pacientes hipertensos positivos para COVID-19, a menos que haya una indicación clínica

Introdução: Um surto de Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) está afe-tando atualmente em todo o mundo. A associação entre esse vírus e a suprarregulação da Enzima Conversora da Angiotensina 2 (ACE2) tem sido sugerida como um fator potencial importante no de-senvolvimento da Doença do Coronavírus-19 (COVID-19). Objetivo: Descrever a relação entre al-guns tratamentos anti-hipertensivos e COVID-19. Métodos: Foi realizada uma pesquisa com os com-ponentes da estratégia Population, Intervention, Resultados (PIR), incluindo a literatura dos últimos 20 anos disponível nas bases de dados centrais PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus e Embase. Todos os artigos relevantes que avaliaram a relação epide-miológica entre SARS-CoV-2 e hipertensão, o trata-mento e resultados dos pacientes que apresentam essa comorbidade, bem como a relação entre o eixo RAA e COVID-19 foram incluídos na análise. Resultados: Foram encontrados 292 itens nas bases de dados. Após análise aprofundada, foram selecionados 17 artigos, entre testes in vitro e in vivo, en-saios clínicos e estudos epidemiológicos relacionados ao tema analisado. Conclusão: Devido aos be-nefícios sistêmicos dos medicamentos anti-hipertensivos direcionados ao eixo RAA e à falta de evi-dência desses tratamentos serem um fator de risco, não é recomendado retirar esses medicamentos de pacientes hipertensos infectados com SARS-CoV 2, a menos que haja um indicação clínica.

Prevalence and molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium spp. in Père Davids deer (Elaphurus davidianus) in Jiangsu, China / Prevalência e caracterização molecular de Cryptosporidium spp. no cervo de Père David (Elaphurus davidianus) em Jiangsu, China

Abstract Cryptosporidium is a zoonotic parasite that causes diarrhea in a broad range of animals, including deer. Little is known about the prevalence and genotype of Cryptosporidium spp. in Père David's deer. In this study, 137 fecal samples from Père David's deer were collected between July 2017 and August 2018 in the Dafeng Reserve and analyzed for Cryptosporidium spp. by nested-PCR based on the small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene, followed by sequence analyses to determine the species. The 60 kDa glycoprotein (gp60) gene was used to characterize Cryptosporidium spp. Among 137 samples, 2 (1.46%) were positive for Cryptosporidium spp. according to SSU rRNA gene sequencing results. Both samples belonged to the Cryptosporidium deer genotype, with two nucleotide deletions and one nucleotide substitution. The prevalence data and molecular characterization of this study provide basic knowledge for controlling and preventing Cryptosporidium infections in Père David's deer in this area.

Resumo Cryptosporidium é um parasita zoonótico que causa diarreia em uma ampla gama de animais, incluindo veados. Pouco se sabe sobre a prevalência e o genótipo de Cryptosporidium spp. no cervo de Père David. Neste estudo, 137 amostras fecais do cervo de Père David foram coletadas entre julho de 2017 e agosto de 2018, na Reserva Dafeng, e analisadas para Cryptosporidium spp. por nested-PCR baseado no gene do RNA ribossômico da subunidade pequena (SSU rRNA), seguido de análises de sequências para determinar as espécies. O gene da glicoproteína de 60 kDa (gp60) foi utilizado para caracterizar Cryptosporidium spp. Dentre as 137 amostras, 2 (1,46%) foram positivas para Cryptosporidium spp. de acordo com os resultados do sequenciamento gênico de SSU rRNA. Ambas as amostras pertenciam ao genótipo do cervo Cryptosporidium, com duas deleções nucleotídicas e uma substituição nucleotídica. Os dados de prevalência e a caracterização molecular deste estudo fornecem conhecimentos básicos para controlar e prevenir infecções por Cryptosporidium nos cervos de Père David nessa.

Human Embryonic Stem Cell Derived from Early Stage Fertilized Ovum: Non Immunogenic and Universal, Neuronal and Non-neuronal Cell Lines

BACKGROUND: Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have the potential to treat various human disorders currently labeled as incurable and/or terminal illness. However, the fear that the patients' immune system would recognize them as non self and lead to an immune rejection has hampered their use. The main cause for immune rejection is usually the incompatibility of both donor and recipient's major histocompatibility complex (MHC). METHODS: We describe a hESC line developed through a patented technology that does not lead to immune reaction upon transplantation. We have transplanted these cells in >1,400 patients with chronic/terminal conditions and did not observe any immune reaction. No immunosuppressant were administered to these patients. We analyzed the expression levels of MHC-I and MHC-II on the surface of these hESCs using microarray technology. The gene targets for miRNA were analyzed using Gene ontology and DAVID database and pathways for these genes were determined using Reactome and Panther databases. RESULTS: Our results showed that the levels of expression of MHC-I and MHC-II on hESCs is almost negligible and thus the hESCs are less susceptible to an immune rejection. CONCLUSIONS: The hESCs cultured at our facility expresses low levels of MHC-I and do not produce an immune reaction. These can be administered universally and need no cross matching before transplantation.

Investigation of natural depression model under the attack-yield behavior of caged cynomolgus monkeys / 上海交通大学学报（医学版）

Objective • To investigate the natural depression model of Macaca fascicularis induced by submissive-aggressive behaviors. Methods • In a simulated wild environment, two Macaca fascicularis groups (G1 and G2) were respectively established. The two groups consisted of 19 and 14 Macaca fascicularis respectively. The effective frequency of each group's submissive-aggressive behaviors was observed and recorded, the matrix of submissive-aggressive behaviors was analyzed, each individual of the group was calculated separately by David's score(DS), according to the level of individual DS, each group was divided into attack group and yield group; the behavior changes of each individual in 7 periods were recorded by the focus observation and the correlation analysis of 11 different behaviors was carried out. Results • After the formation of these groups, there was fierce conflict between the cynomolgus monkeys. 1 122 and 1 409 submissive-aggressive behaviors were recorded in the two groups respectively. In the submissive-aggressive behavior matrix, the differences between high and low DS in anxiety behavior (t1=-4.053, P1=0.005; t2=-3.041, P2=0.012), conflict behavior (t1=8.478, P1=0.018; t2=7.651, P2=0.002), depression behavior (t1=-3.691, P1=0.006; t2=-2.431, P2=0.045) and exercise behavior (t1=9.639, P1=0.007; t2=3.568; P2=0.002) were statistically significant. Conclusion • The natural depression model of caged Macaca fascicularis is a social defeat model induced by yield-attack behavior.
