Estudo dos óleos essenciais de Piperaceae do Vale do Itajaí em Santa Catarina
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Físicas e Matemáticas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Química.Neste trabalho foram estudadas espécies do gênero Piper, da família Piperaceae de ocorrência no Vale do Itajaí, em Santa Catarina, onde os perfis químicos de seus óleos essenciais foram analisados. Sete espécies de Piperáceas foram estudadas, sendo elas: Piper caldense, Piper callosum, Piper mollicomum, Piper regnellii var. pallescens, Piper regnellii var. regnellii, Piper lindbergii e Piper gaudichaudianum. As espécies Piper caldense, Piper Mollicomum e Piper gaudichaudianum foram coletadas no Parque São Francisco de Assis, município de Blumenau. Já as espécies Piper callosum e Piper regnellii var. pallescens foram coletadas na Congregação das Irmãs Catequistas Franciscanas do município de Rodeio. A espécie Piper regnellii var. regnellii no campus I da Universidade Regional de Blumenau e no município de Brusque e ainda a Piper lindbergii no bairro Salto Weissbach, em Blumenau. Verificou-se através da destilação por arraste de vapor que a espécie Piper caldense não apresenta quantidade significativa de óleo essencial, inviabilizando seu estudo. Nas demais espécies foram encontradas teores de óleo variando entre 0,1 e 0,7% onde, após análise instrumental por CG-EM e índice de retenção, suas respectivas composições foram determinadas, destacando-se os principais constituintes por espécie: Piper callosum, safrol (60%); Piper regnellii variedade pallescens, apiol (54%) e dilapiol (18%); Piper regnellii variedade regnellii, beta-pineno (20%), biciclogermacreno (8%) e espatulenol (9%); Piper mollicomum, alfa-pineno (10%), beta-pineno (18%), trans-cariofileno (10%); Piper gaudichaudianum, alfa-humuleno (6%), alfa-selineno (5%), beta-selineno (5%), espatulenol (5%) e óxido de cariofileno (6%); Piper lindbergii, óxido de cariofileno (19%). Posteriormente, utilizou-se o óleo essencial das espécies Piper callosum, Piper mollicomum e Piper regnellii var. regnellii para avaliar a sua atividade antimicrobiana. A espécie Piper mollicomum apresentou atividade inibitória ao crescimento bacteriano contra Escherichia coli e Staphylococcus aureus
John Piper: The Making of a Christian Hedonist

A CHRISTIAN HEDONIST

Chair: Dr. Michael A. G. Haykin
This dissertation on noted pastor and author John Piper (1946- ) constitutes an early effort in the field of intellectual biography, tracing four key influences--in roughly chronological order--upon Piper's life and theology. Those with primary influence in Piper's formative years were his parents, William S. H. Piper (1919-2007) and Ruth Mohn Piper (1918-1974), who exhibited a unique combination of joyful fundamentalism. Piper's next major influence was C. S. Lewis (1898-1963), discovered during his undergraduate studies at Wheaton College, who introduced him to romantic rationalism. Piper's first teacher at Fuller Seminary was Daniel P. Fuller (1925- ), a hermeneutics professor who planted the seeds of Christian hedonism and who gave him a love for exegetical biblicism. It was during these seminary days and into his time of doctoral study that Piper discovered Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), whose affectional Calvinism would go on to shape Piper's theology more than anyone else. Piper's three primary venues of ministerial vocation--teaching, preaching, and writing--are all examined to reveal the ways in which each of these influencers played various roles in Piper's development of Christian hedonism and his distinct contribution to a theology of the Christian life. The dissertation concludes with two applications of the foregoing analysis, exploring how Piper uses Scripture and how he appropriates church history for pastoral ends. Also included is a comprehensive bibliography of Piper's published works (1971-2015)

Sputum cysteinyl‐leukotriene levels correlate with the severity of pulmonary disease in children with cystic fibrosis
No full textSputum samples from 13 children with cystic fibrosis (CF) were analyzed for leukotrienes (LTs) LTB4, LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4. Distribution of LTB4 appeared to be normal, and of cysteinyl‐LTs log normal. Total cysteinyl‐LT levels, of which on average 75% was LTE4, were nearly 10 times higher than in earlier studies. Log LTE4 and total cysteinyl‐LT levels correlated with the overall severity of pulmonary disease assessed by Chrispin—Norman chest radiograph score (Log LTE4: r = 0.701, r2 = 49.1%, P = 0.008. Log total cysteinyl‐LTs: r = 0.715, r2 = 51.1%, P = 0.006). There was no apparent relationship between LTB4 levels and Chrispin—Norman chest radiograph score, nor between the level of any of the LTs and age or organism cultured from sputum. These findings suggest that the cysteinyl‐LTs may be involved in the pathophysiology of pulmonary disease in CF. Pediatr pulmonol.1992; 12:90–94.</p

Inulin as a marker of dilution of bronchoalveolar lavage in asthmatic and normal subjects
No full textBronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid is a variable mixture of instilled and lung fluid, which makes interpretation of solute concentrations difficult. We describe the use of inulin as a marker of dilution of BAL in human subjects. BAL, using saline containing 0.1 mM inulin, was safely performed in 13 subjects with mild asthma and 11 normal subjects. The dilution factor (DF: inulin concentration in BAL fluid/inulin concentration in instilled fluid) was measured spectrophotometrically, and it was used to calculate the volume of lung fluid in BAL fluid. There was no significant difference between the median (range) DF of 0.931 (0.825 to 0.952) in asthmatics and 0.907 (0.768 to 0.985) in control subjects (p = 0.77). There was wide individual variation in, but no significant difference between, the lung fluid volume of 8.1 ml (5.4 to 22.2) in asthmatics and 12.3 ml (1.9 to 30.6) in control subjects (p = 0.56), thus validating comparisons of concentrations per ml of BAL fluid. Alternatively, concentrations can be compared per ml of lung fluid. Inulin fulfilled the requirements for a marker of dilution of BAL, enabling the validation and standardization of comparisons of solute concentrations in BAL fluid.</p
