ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Nerve transfers are increasingly used to restore upper extremity function in patients with spinal cord injury. However, the role of nerve transfers for central cord syndrome is still being established. The purpose of this study is to report the anatomical feasibility and clinical use of nerve transfer of supinator motor branches (NS) to restore finger extension in a central cord syndrome patient. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The posterior interosseous nerve (PIN), its superficial division, and branches were dissected in 14 fresh cadavers, with a mean age of 65 (58-79). Measurements included number and length of branches of donor and recipient, diameters, regeneration distance from coaptation site to motor entry point and axonal counts. A NS transfer to extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU), extensor digiti quinti (EDQ) and extensor digitorum communis (EDC) was performed in a 28-year-old patient, with central cord syndrome after a motorcycle accident, who did not recover active finger extension at 10 months post injury. RESULTS: The PIN consistently divided into a deep and superficial branch between 1.5 cm proximal to, and 2 cm distal to the distal boundary of the supinator. The superficial branch provided a first common branch to the ECU and EDQ. In 12/14 dissections, the EDC was innervated by a 4 cm long branch that entered the muscle on its radial deep surface. In all cases, the superficial branch of the PIN could be separated in a retrograde fashion from the PIN and coapted with NS. The mean myelinated fiber count in nerve to EDC was 401 ± 190 compared to 398 ± 75 in the NS. At 48 months after surgery, with the wrist at neutral, the patient recovered full metacarpophalangeal extension scoring M4. Supination was preserved with the elbow extended or flexed. CONCLUSIONS: Restoration of finger extension in central cord syndrome is possible with a selective transfer of the NS to EDC, and is anatomically feasible with a short regeneration distance and favorable axonal count ratio.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Workplace well-being has been defined as a state of pleasure in doing your own job. Work engagement is an effective indicator to measure workplace well-being. AIM: To investigate the level of work engagement among the Advanced Practice Nurses and describe patient outcomes. METHODS: A survey based on Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-17 (ranging 0-6) was administered to 11 Advanced Practice Nurses; data were collected in August 2021. Different outcomes were detected: incidence of pressure ulcers in COVID 19 patients; postoperative issues; number of cornea donations in eligible patients (from 2017 to 2020); number of preoperative stoma site marking. RESULTS: The results showed a median age of 48 [41-52] years, most of the partecipants were women (63.64%). Advanced Practice Nurses showed high levels of engagement as a whole (5.18 0.30) and on vigor (4.91 0.82), dedication (5.51 0.80) and absorption categories (5.12 0.68). 360 patients with COVID-19 were observed and only 17 of them (4,5%) had Pressure Ulcers (density incidence: 2,72ulcers/1000 patients day). Intervention by case manager completely solved the patient's problem in 10 cases (71.43%) during the postoperative period. A 13% increase in corneal donations was observed in eligible patients from 2017 to 2020. Preoperative stoma site marking was present in 103 (99.3%) of eligible patients. CONCLUSIONS: Advanced Practice Nurses present high levels of work engagement. Outcome results are coherent with the literature; a high level of work engagement seems to correlate with better patient outcomes. NURSING IMPLICATIONS: Postgraduate nursing training improves clinical outcomes for patients and process indicators. Healthcare organizations management should value workplace well-being of their Advanced Practice Nurses.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Integrar o conhecimento produzido sobre os fatores associados ao estresse e coping da equipe de Enfermagem em UTI. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa da literatura que utilizou os descritores: 'esgotamento profissional', 'estresse psicológico', 'unidade de terapia intensiva' e 'enfermagem', nas bases de dados Medline, Lilacs e BDEnf. Resultados: Os 15 artigos demonstraram que os principais estressores foram o 'cuidado à rede de apoio dos pacientes' e o 'lidar com a morte'. Quanto ao coping, poucas estratégias foram mencionadas, destacando-se o 'investimento nas relações interpessoais', uso dos 'serviços de apoio disponibilizados pela liderança' e 'apoio fora do ambiente de trabalho' - através de interações sociais informais, atividade física e lazer. Conclusões: O estresse em resposta às demandas exigidas pelo trabalho na UTI deve ser investigado e o estabelecimento de ações minimizadoras dos efeitos do estresse são primordiais, visando preservar a saúde do profissional, e a segurança e qualidade do cuidado ao paciente (AU)


Objective: Integrating the knowledge produced about the factors associated with stress and coping of nursing staff in the ICU. Methodology: Integrative Literature Review He used the key words: 'burnout', 'psychological stress', 'intensive care unit' and 'nursing' in Medline, Lilacs and BDEnf. Results: The articles 15 showed that the major stressors were' care to the support network of patients' and 'dealing with death'. As for coping, few strategies were mentioned, especially the 'investment in interpersonal relations' use of 'support services provided by the leadership' and 'support outside the working environment' - through informal social interactions, physical activity and leisure. Conclusions: The stress in response to the demands required for the work in the ICU should be investigated and the establishment of mitigating actions the effects of stress are paramount, to preserve the health of the professional, and the safety and quality of patient care (AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar potencialidades e limites do Plano Municipal de Saúde como instrumento de gestão ao reconhecimento das necessidades em saúde e das vulnerabilidades dos grupos sociais. Estudo documental qualitativo realizado por meio da organização de dados no software WebQDA® e da análise de conteúdo de Bardin dos planos municipais de saúde de Araraquara, Santos, Valinhos e Vinhedo, localidades que atenderam aos critérios de elegibilidade: municípios de médio porte do estado de São Paulo; não pertencentes à região metropolitana; com 50 mil habitantes ou mais; apresentaram os melhores Índices de Desenvolvimento Humano e os piores coeficientes de Gini; e publicizaram os planos municipais de saúde. Os resultados demonstraram predomínio da concepção de saúde centrada na multicausalidade; epidemiologicamente, os cenários foram descritos a partir dos fatores de risco, com destaque para os indicadores de morbimortalidade; não houve articulação dos perfis de saúde-doença aos de reprodução social. Nos diagnósticos e nos planejamentos em saúde foi desconsiderada a teoria interpretativa da determinação social do processo saúde-doença. Dessa forma, todos os cenários apresentaram dificuldade de identificação de grupos sociais, vulnerabilidades e necessidades diferenciados, impossibilitando gestão em saúde em prol da equidade e da integralidade na atenção.


Abstract This study was designed to identify the potential and the limits of the Municipal Health Plan as a management tool for recognition of health needs and vulnerabilities of social groups. A qualitative, documentary study, performed through the organization of data in WebQDA® software and Bardin's content analysis, of Municipal Health Plans (PMS) of the municipalities of Araraquara, Santos, Valinhos and Vinhedo, which met eligibility criteria: medium-sized municipalities in the state of São Paulo; not belonging to the Metropolitan Region; with 50 thousand inhabitants or more; presenting the best Human Development Index and the worst Gini coefficients; and having publicized Municipal Health Plans. The results showed a predominance of a health conception centered on multi-causality; epidemiologically, the scenarios were described from their risk factors, with emphasis on morbidity/mortality indicators; there was no articulation of health-disease profiles to those of social reproduction. In health diagnoses and planning, there was disregard of the interpretative theory of the social determination of the health-disease process. Thus, all the scenarios presented difficulties in identifying social groups, vulnerabilities and differentiated needs, making health management impossible for equity and integrality in care.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O plano municipal de saúde e os relatórios anuais de gestão municipal são ferramentas de planejamento para identificar, sistematizar e monitorar as ações em saúde, com vistas a responderem às necessidades da população. Neste contexto, a Enfermagem como prática social destaca-se, pois a compreensão dialética da realidade permite a proposição de mudanças do concreto, no sentido de contribuir qualitativamente para a ruptura de modos de produção e reprodução do cotidiano que impactem o adoecimento e a morte de grupos sociais vulneráveis. Objetivo: Compreender os limites e as potencialidades do plano municipal de saúde e dos relatórios anuais de gestão municipal como instrumentos para o assessment de políticas públicas municipais em saúde. Metodologia: Estudo quanti-qualitativo dos planos municipais de saúde, dos períodos de 2010-2013 e 2014-2017, e dos relatórios anuais de gestão municipal dos anos de 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 e 2015, disponíveis no Sistema de Apoio à Construção do Relatório de Gestão (SARG-SUS). O software WebQDA® foi utilizado para a organização dos dados, os quais foram analisados por meio da Teoria da Intervenção Práxica em Enfermagem em Saúde Coletiva, da análise de conteúdo de Bardin, e da estatística descrita e inferencial. Os municípios participantes foram: Araraquara, Santos, Valinhos e Vinhedo, os quais atenderam aos seguintes critérios de elegibilidade: são municípios pertencentes ao estado de São Paulo, entretanto, não à Região Metropolitana, com 50 mil habitantes ou mais, apresentaram melhor Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano e pior coeficiente de Gini, bem como disponibilizaram no SARG-SUS os planos municipais de saúde e os relatórios anuais de gestão municipal. Resultados: Os planos municipais de saúde e os relatórios anuais de gestão municipal se mostraram como instrumentos com potencialidade para a compreensão do SUS como política pública de proteção social; como ferramenta de planejamento em saúde; como metodologia para compreensão e identificação das necessidades em saúde e como mecanismos de monitoramento das ações em saúde propostas no PMS. Entretanto, foi demonstrado que a concepção do processo saúde-doença presente nesses instrumentos esteve alicerçada sobre a multicausalidade, evidenciando grandes limitações para acolher as necessidades em saúde da população e, consequentemente, identificar os grupos socialmente vulneráveis, impactando negativamente as práticas de gestão ancoradas na equidade. Conclusões: Os planos municipais de saúde e os relatórios anuais de gestão municipal mostraram-se como instrumentos de extrema validade para o assessment de políticas públicas municipais de saúde. No entanto, eles somente conseguirão reduzir as desigualdades sociais, rumo à equidade e integralidade, quando se utilizarem da concepção da produção e reprodução socialmente determinados para compreender saúde, o que por sua vez permitirá a identificação das vulnerabilidades. Consequentemente, esses instrumentos fortalecerão práticas direcionadas à equidade, sobre as quais a Enfermagem em Saúde Coletiva pode atuar de forma significativa no desenvolvimento, implantação, avaliação e monitoramento de políticas públicas de saúde que contribuam para a superação de realidades limitantes que pouco agregam para a melhoria da condição de saúde de grupos sociais vulneráveis.


Introduction: The municipal health plan and the annual reports of the municipal government serve as tools for planning and for identifying, organizing and monitoring activities in the health sector, with the aim of meeting the populations needs. In this context, nursing has an important role to play as a social practice, since the dialectical understanding of the local reality makes it possible to propose concrete changes, with a view to making a qualitative contribution towards disrupting those daily means of production and reproduction that impact on the levels of illness and mortality among vulnerable social groups. Objective: To understand the limitations and the potential of the municipal health plan and annual reports from the municipal government to serve as assessment instruments for municipal level public policies in health. Methodology: This was a quanti-qualitative study of municipal health plans for the periods 2010-2013 and 2014-2017 and of annual reports from the municipal government for all years between 2011 and 2015, which were available on the System for Supporting the Construction of a Management Report (SARG-SUS in the Portuguese). The WebQDA® software was used to organize the data, which was analyzed using the Theory of Praxis Intervention in Nursing in Public Health, Bardins content analysis, and descriptive and inferential statistics. The participating Brazilian municipalities were: Araraquara, Santos, Valinhos and Vinhedo, which comply with the following eligibility criteria: municipalities in the State of Sao Paulo, but not part of the Greater Sao Paulo city region, with at least 50,000 inhabitants, the highest Human Development Index rankings and the lowest Gini coefficients for inequality, as well as having their municipal health plans and annual reports from the municipal government available on the SARG-SUS. Results: The municipal health plans and the annual reports from the municipal government were found to be instruments with the potential of understanding SUS as a public policy for social protection; as a tool for health planning; as a methodology for understanding and identifying health needs; and as monitoring mechanisms for activities in the health sector that were proposed in the municipal health plan. Nonetheless, the conception of the health-illness process that was present in these instruments was shown to be based on the idea of multi-causality and to have major limitations in terms of meeting the health needs of the population and, consequently, identifying socially vulnerable groups. This has a negative impact on management practices that are anchored upon the concept of equity. Conclusions: The municipal health plans and the annual reports of the municipal government proved to be highly robust for assessing public health policies at the municipal level. However, they would only managed to reduce social inequalities, and therefore contribute towards equity and integrality, when used in light of socially determined production and reproduction for understanding health, which in turn will make it possible to identify vulnerabilities. This will subsequently strengthen practices aimed at improving equity, an area in which Public Health Nursing can have a significant impact by means of the development, establishment, monitoring and evaluation of public health policies that contribute towards overcoming limitations that do not improve the health conditions of socially vulnerable groups.

ABSTRACT

A clínica compartilhada pressupõe uma postura profissional proativa e autônoma da equipe de saúde, a qual tem opaciente como centro do cuidado. Esta concepção pode contribuir para a melhoria nos serviços de saúde, por meio,por exemplo, da redução do tempo de internação hospitalar, o que pode influenciar positivamente sobre a assistênciaao paciente e à gestão hospitalar. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as necessidades em saúde, representadas peloscuidados durante a internação hospitalar, no momento da admissão e alta, mediante informações disponíveis noprontuário do paciente, com vistas que estas possam ser discutidas como subsídio para a prática profissional orientadapela clínica compartilhada. As necessidades foram relacionadas aos cuidados na admissão e alta hospitalar, medianteinformações de prontuário. Foi realizado um estudo do tipo correlacional, transversal e quantitativo. Foram analisados430 prontuários de dois hospitais públicos de São Paulo, SP, Brasil. Evidenciou-se que à medida em que aumentouo número de cuidados na admissão e alta, maiores foram o tempo de internação, o número de diagnósticos e idadedo paciente. Apesar da diminuição no número de cuidados comparando-se o momento da admissão à alta, houvepresença de um número elevado de cuidados no momento da alta em alguns prontuários. Estas evidências sugeremque o monitoramento do número de cuidados, em conjunto com outros indicadores pode contribuir, na perspectiva daclínica compartilhada, para a atuação das equipes interprofissionais de saúde e da gestão hospitalar.


The shared clinic presupposes an active and autonomous professional behavior of the health team has the patient as thecenter of health care. This can contribute to the improvement in health services, for example, reducing the stay hospital,which can positively influence patient care and hospital management. This study aimed to analyze the health careneeds, as support for shared clinical management, by hospitalization´s care at the admission and discharge, throughinformation available in medical records, that they can discussed as a resource for professional practice guided by sharedclinic. The health care needs related to hospital admission and discharge care needs reported in the patient´s medicalrecords. The study was correlational, cross-sectional and quantitative. There were analyzed 430 medical records of twopublic hospitals in São Paulo. The study demonstrated that an increased number of care needs at patient admissionand discharge related to increased length of stay, numbers of diagnoses and age. Furthermore, some medical recordspresented a high number of care needs at discharge, even though they reduced compared to admission. Within theperspective of shared clinical, we can conclude that the activity of monitoring the numbers of care needs, as well asother health care indicators, may contribute to the work of multidisciplinary health care teams and to the hospitalmanagement.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Analisar o tempo de internação com alguns indicadores demográficos e epidemiológicos, para o gerenciamento de leitos hospitalares. Método: O estudo foi realizado em dois hospitais secundários, municipais, de São Paulo, denominados Hospital A e Hospital B. Foram analisados 430 prontuários de egressos em abril de 2010, referentes ao tempo de internação e indicadores demográficos (sexo e grupo etário) e epidemiológicos (tipo e número de diagnósticos). Resultados: A análise do tempo de internação hospitalar em conjunto com indicadores demográficos (sexo e grupo etário) e epidemiológicos (número e tipo de diagnóstico de internação) trouxe informações relevantes para o gerenciamento de leitos hospitalares, uma vez que, foi possível identificar grupos específicos, que permitem a proposição da sistematização de ações em saúde. Conclusão: As análises apresentadas permitem a otimização do hospital e, consequentemente, do sistema de saúde, refletindo positivamente para qualidade dos serviços prestados à população .


The aim was to analyse the length of stay of some demographic and epidemiological indicators for the management of hospital beds. The study was conducted in two municipal hospitals in São Paulo, referred to as Hospital A and Hospital B. In April 2010, 430 medical records were analysed for the length of stay, together with demographic indicators (gender and age), and epidemiological (type and number of diagnoses). Analysis of the length of stay together with demographic indicators (gender and age) and epidemiological (number and type of admission diagnosis) showed relevant information for the management of hospital beds as it was possible to identify specific groups. This allows for a proposal for the systematization of public health efforts aimed at hospital optimisation and, consequently, other health systems and reflected by the quality of services provided to the population .


Analizar la duración de la estancia con algunos indicadores demográficos y epidemiológicos para la gestión de camas de hospital. El estudio se realizó en dos hospitales municipales de São Paulo, denominados Hospital de A y B. 430 registros fueron analizados en abril de 2010, por la duración de la estancia y los indicadores demográficos (género y edad) y epidemiológicos (tipo y número de diagnósticos). Análisis de la estancia hospitalaria, junto con indicadores demográficos (género y edad) y epidemiológicos (número y tipo de diagnóstico de ingreso) contiene información relevante para la gestión de las camas de hospital, ya que fue posible identificar grupos específicos, que permiten una propuesta de sistematización de los esfuerzos de salud pública dirigidos a la optimización del hospital y en consecuencia, el sistema de salud lo que se refleja positivamente en la calidad de los servicios prestados a la población .

ABSTRACT

Analisar a ocorrência, no prontuário do paciente, do registro de indicadores clínicos (dor esinais vitais) e de indicadores de funcionalidade (tipo de banho, via de alimentação e tipo delocomoção). Foram analisados 430 prontuários de pacientes egressos de dois hospitaispúblicos de São Paulo. Os resultados demonstraram aausência de registro dos indicadorespropostos em maior ou menor proporção; priorizaçãodo registro dos indicadores clínicos nomomento da admissão em comparação à saída do paciente; e priorização do registro dosindicadores de funcionalidade em detrimento dos indicadores clínicos. A precariedade doregistro nos prontuários dos pacientes sugere a necessidade de investimento em gestão depessoas, gestão dos processos de trabalho e melhoria nas condições de trabalho. Esta situaçãolimita a prática gerencial baseada em evidências, coloca em risco o exercício legal daprofissão e o acompanhamento clínico do paciente, que, por sua vez, pode impactarnegativamente na qualidade assistencial .


To analyze the documentation of clinical indicators(pain and vital signs) and functionalityindicators (type of bath, feeding route and type oflocomotion). We analyzed 430 charts ofdischarged patients from two public hospitals in São Paulo. The results indicated the absenceof records of clinical indicators upon admission when compared to the patient’s discharge.Higher priority was given to functionality indicators than to clinical indicators. The poorquality of records kept in patient charts indicatesthe need for investing in personnelmanagement, work process management and improving working conditions. This situationlimits evidence-based managerial practice, and putsthe legal exercise of the profession injeopardy, as well the patient’s clinical care. In turn, such conditions can negatively impactquality of care .


Se objetivó analizar historias clínicas del paciente buscando registro de indicadores clínicos(dolor y signos vitales) y de funcionalidad (como baño, vía de alimentación, tipo delocomoción, etc.). Fueron analizadas 430 historiasclínicas de pacientes de alta en doshospitales públicos de São Paulo. Los resultados demuestran ausencia de registro de losindicadores propuestos en mayor o menor proporción;priorización del registro de indicadoresclínicos en la admisión por sobre el momento de alta y priorización del registro de indicadores de funcionalidad en detrimento de indicadores clínicos. La precariedad del registro sugierenecesidad de inversión en gestión de personas, gestión de procesos de trabajo y mejora decondiciones laborales. Tal situación limita la práctica gerencial basada en evidencias, pone enriesgo el ejercicio legal de la profesión y el seguimiento clínico del paciente que, a su vez,impacta negativamente en la calidad de atención .

ABSTRACT

The objectives of this study were: to characterize the polipharmacy in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and to verify the correlation between polipharmacy and number of medications for DM2 complications with depression indicators (Beck Depression inventory (BDI) and urinary cortisol (CORT) levels). A sample composed of 40 patients with DM2 from the Diabetes League of HCFM-USP was analyzed for depression indicators (CORT and BDI) in addition to evaluation for polipharmacy and number of DM2 complications. The results showed oral hypoglycemic agents, insulins, antihypertensives, diuretics, lipid-lowering drugs and thrombolytics are the most frequent medications used. In this sample, 75% used from 5 to 8 medicines daily and 12.5% used more than eight medicines/day; all of them used to take each medication at least 3 times daily. Between 1 and 3 DM2 complications were observed in 60% of the individuals and 22.5% showed more than 3 DM2 complications. No significant correlations were observed between depression indicators (BDI and CORT), number of medications and DM2 complications. However, positive correlation was observed between CORT and daily frequency of medication (Spearman, r = 0.319, p = 0.019).

ABSTRACT

Os objetivos deste estudo foram: caracterizar a polifarmácia entre portadores de Diabetes Mellitus tipo2(DM2); e correlacionar polifarmácia e número de complicações do DM2 com indicadores de depressão (Inventário de Depressão de Beck[IDB] e cortisol urinário[CORT]). A amostra foi composta por 40 pacientes da Liga de Diabetes do HCFM-USP, avaliados quanto aos indicadores de depressão (CORT e IDB) e quanto à prática de polifarmácia e número de complicações do DM2. Os resultados mostraram que os medicamentos utilizados foram: antidiabéticos orais, insulinas, anti-hipertensivos, diuréticos, anti-lipêmicos e trombolíticos. No grupo estudado, 75 por cento fizeram uso diário de 5 a 8 medicamentos, e 12,5 por cento de 8 medicamentos/dia ou mais; todos fizeram no mínimo 3 tomadas diárias, 60 por cento tinham entre 1 e 3 complicações do DM2, e 22,5 por cento tinham 3 ou mais. A correlação entre os indicadores de depressão(IDB e CORT), o número de medicamentos e o número de complicações do DM2 não foi estatisticamente significante. No entanto, houve correlação positiva entre CORT e número de tomadas diárias de medicamentos (Spearman,r=0.319, p=0.019).

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a relação entre indicadores de depressão e perfil sócio-demográfico de portadores de Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2).A avaliação sócio-demográfica foi conduzida em amostra composta por 40 pacientes na Liga de Diabetes (HC-FMUSP).Os indicadores de depressão foram investigados a partir do Inventário de Depressão de Beck (IBD) em associação com cortisol urinário (CORT).Os resultados mostraram que indivíduos portadores de DM2 com alta escolaridade, baixo poder aquisitivo individual e familiar e com história de rompimento de relação conjugal estável estão mais propensos a sintomas de depressão.


The objective this study was investigate the relationship between depression indicators and social-demographics characteristics in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2). The socio-demographic evaluation was conducted in a sample composed of 40 patients with DM2 from Diabetes League (HCFM-USP).Depression indicators were evaluated through the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) in addition to urinary cortisol (CORT).The results showed that individuals with high education level,poor individual and familiar economic status in addition to history of broken stable relationship are more likely to depressive symptoms.

OBJETIVO: Verificar a correlação entre o cortisol urinário e o Inventário de Depressão de Beck em diabéticos do tipo 2. MÉTODOS: O cortisol urinário foi avaliado em uma amostra composta por 40 pacientes da Liga de Controle de Diabetes da Disciplina de Endocrinologia do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo e para a avaliação dos sintomas de depressão foi aplicado o Inventário de Depressão de Beck. RESULTADOS: Alta confiabilidade para o Inventário de Depressão de Beck(Alfa de Cronbach=0,920)e correlação significativa foi observada entre cortisol urinário e Inventário de Depressão de Beck(Spearman,r=0.523,p<0.001). CONCLUSÕES: Houve correlação entre cortisol urinário e Inventário de Depressão de Beck, demonstrando que estes indicadores são confiáveis na detecção de sintomas de depressão em diabéticos do tipo 2.


OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between urinary cortisol and scores on the Beck Depression Inventory in type 2 diabetics. METHODS: The sample consisted of 40 patients with type 2 diabetes from the diabetes control league of the discipline of endocrinology of the HCFM-USP. Measures consisted of urinary cortisol and depression symptoms using the Beck Depression Inventory. RESULTS: The Beck Depression Inventory had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.92. There was a statistically significant correlation between urinary cortisol and scores on the Beck Depression Inventory (Spearman r = 0.52, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: The Beck Depression Inventory was found to be a reliable indicator of depressive symptoms in patients with type 2 diabetes. Urine cortisol is associated with the presence of depressive symptoms.

ABSTRACT

Regulation of intracellular transport plays a role in a number of processes, including mitosis, determination of cell polarity, and neuronal growth. In Xenopus melanophores, transport of melanosomes toward the cell center is triggered by melatonin, whereas their dispersion throughout the cytoplasm is triggered by melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), with both of these processes mediated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) activity [1, 2]. Recently, the ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) pathway has been implicated in regulating organelle transport and signaling downstream of melatonin receptor [3, 4]. Here, we directly demonstrate that melanosome transport is regulated by ERK signaling. Inhibition of ERK signaling by the MEK (MAPK/ERK kinase) inhibitor U0126 blocks bidirectional melanosome transport along microtubules, and stimulation of ERK by constitutively active MEK1/2 stimulates transport. These effects are specific because perturbation of ERK signaling has no effect on the movement of lysosomes, organelles related to melanosomes [5]. Biochemical analysis demonstrates that MEK and ERK are present on melanosomes and transiently activated by melatonin. Furthermore, this activation correlates with an increase in melanosome transport. Finally, direct inhibition of PKA transiently activates ERK, demonstrating that ERK acts downstream of PKA. We propose that signaling of organelle bound ERK is a key pathway that regulates bidirectional, microtubule-based melanosome transport.

ABSTRACT

Eukaryotic organisms rely on intracellular transport to position organelles and other components within their cells. Pigment cells provide an excellent model to study organelle transport as they specialize in the translocation of pigment granules in response to defined chemical signals. Pigment cells of lower vertebrates have traditionally been used as a model for these studies because these cells transport pigment organelles in a highly coordinated fashion, are easily cultured and transfected, are ideal for microsurgery, and are good for biochemical experiments, including in vitro analysis of organelle motility. Many important properties of organelle transport, for example, the requirement of two cytoskeletal filaments (actin and microtubules), the motor proteins involved, and the mechanisms of their regulation and interactions, have been studied using pigment cells of lower vertebrates. Genetic studies of mouse melanocytes allowed the discovery of essential elements involved in organelle transport including the myosin-Va motor and its receptor and adaptor molecules on the organelle surface. Future studies of pigment cells will contribute to our understanding of issues such as the cooperation among multiple motor proteins and the mechanisms of regulation of microtubule motors.

ABSTRACT

Myosin-Va has been implicated in melanosome translocation, but the exact molecular mechanisms underlying this function are not known. In the dilute, S91 melanoma cells, melanosomes move to the cell periphery but do not accumulate in the tips of dendrites as occurs in wild-type B16 melanocytes; rather, they return and accumulate primarily at the pericentrosomal region in a microtubule-dependent manner. Expression of the full-length neuronal isoform of myosin-Va in S91 cells causes melanosomes to disperse, occupying a cellular area approximately twice that observed in non-transfected cells, suggesting a partial rescue of the dilute phenotype. Overexpression of the full tail domain in S91 cells is not sufficient to induce melanosome dispersion, rather it causes melanosomal clumping. Overexpression of the head and head-neck domains of myosin-Va in B16 cells does not alter the melanosome distribution. However, overexpression of the full tail domain in these cells induces melanosome aggregation and the appearance of tail-associated, aggregated particles or vesicular structures that exhibit variable degrees of staining for melanosomal and Golgi beta-COP markers, as well as colocalization with the endogenous myosin-Va. Altogether, the present data suggest that myosin-Va plays a role in regulating the direction of microtubule-dependent melanosome translocation, in addition to promoting the capture of melanosomes at the cell periphery as suggested by previous studies. These studies also reinforce the notion that myosin-V has a broader function in melanocytes by acting on vesicular targeting or intracellular protein trafficking.
