Identification and genetic characterization of a gibberellin 2-oxidase gene that controls tree stature and reproductive growth in plum
No full textSeveral dwarf plum genotypes (Prunus salicina L.), due to deficiency of unknown gibberellin (GA) signalling, were
identified. A cDNA encoding GA 2-oxidase (PslGA2ox), the major gibberellin catabolic enzyme in plants, was cloned
and used to screen the GA-deficient hybrids. This resulted in the identification of a dwarf plum hybrid, designated as
DGO24, that exhibits a markedly elevated PslGA2ox signal. Grafting ‘Early Golden’ (EG), a commercial plum cultivar,
on DGO24 (EG/D) enhanced PslGA2ox accumulation in the scion part and generated trees of compact stature.
Assessment of active GAs in such trees revealed that DGO24 and EG/D accumulated relatively much lower
quantities of main bioactive GAs (GA1 and GA4) than control trees (EG/M). Moreover, the physiological function of
PslGA2ox was studied by determining the molecular and developmental consequences due to ectopic expression in
Arabidopsis. Among several lines, two groups of homozygous transgenics that exhibited contrasting phenotypes
were identified. Group-1 displayed a dwarf growth pattern typical of mutants with a GA deficiency including smaller
leaves, shorter stems, and delay in the development of reproductive events. In contrast, Group-2 exhibited a ‘GA
overdose’ phenotype as all the plants showed elongated growth, a typical response to GA application, even under
limited GA conditions, potentially due to co-suppression of closely related Arabidopsis homologous. The studies
reveal the possibility of utilizing PslGA2ox as a marker for developing size-controlling rootstocks in Prunus
Estudo comparativo do estado nutricional em pacientes cirróticos atendidos ambulatorialmente em um hospital de ensino
No full textDissertação (mestrado profissional) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação Multidisciplinar em Saúde, Florianópolis, 2015.Introdução: A cirrose apresenta influência direta no estado nutricional predispondo o paciente ao surgimento da desnutrição. O diagnóstico precoce atua norteando a conduta dietoterápica, que visa prevenir ou recuperar as deficiências nutricionais. Objetivos: Investigar a evolução do estado nutricional e sua associação com indicadores de gravidade em portadores de cirrose acompanhados ambulatorialmente em dois momentos. Métodos: Estudo longitudinal com pacientes cirróticos adultos e idosos, de ambos os sexos, realizado em duas etapas, 2012 e 2014. O estado nutricional e risco nutricional foram avaliados através dos instrumentos Royal Free Hospital Global Assessment (RFH-GA) e Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002), medidas antropométricas isoladas e consumo de calorias e macronutrientes. Foi utilizado como marcador de prognóstico o índice Child-Pugh. Na análise estatística foram utilizados testes para verificar a normalidade da distribuição dos dados, comparação das variáveis numéricas, e a diferença das variáveis. Resultados e discussão: De 60 pacientes avaliados a média de idade foi 56,25 ± 12 anos, com predominância do sexo masculino (65%), índice de prognóstico Child-Pugh A em 81,6% e B 16,6%. Não houve diferenças significativas no diagnóstico de desnutrição e risco nutricional quando comparado os dados de 2012 e 2014 para o RFH-GA; a NRS-2002, como também quando estratificado pelo índice prognóstico. Houve diminuição na prevalência de desnutrição pela CMB e aumento pela PTC. O consumo de energia e proteínas ficou abaixo do recomendado nos dois momentos de avaliação. Conclusões: Observou-se que métodos utilizados de forma isolada, no caso a CMB e PTC, apresentaram maior variação na avaliação nutricional, enquanto o IMC e NRS-2002, não foram bons métodos na detecção do risco ou diagnóstico de desnutrição. O RFH-GA não detectou diferença significativa no diagnóstico de desnutrição nas duas fases da pesquisa, entretanto novos estudos longitudionais devem ser implementados avaliando assim sua aplicabilidade. A ingestão adequada de lipídios e carboidratos foi demonstrada nas duas etapas, entretanto o consumo de calorias e proteínas foram abaixo das recomendações. Sugere-se mais estudos para avaliar e acompanhar o estado nutricional de pacientes cirróticos, a fim de identificar a forma mais adequada de avaliar estes pacientes.Abstract : Introduction: Cirrhosis has direct influence on nutritional status predisposes the patient to the emergence of malnutrition. Early diagnosis acts guiding the diet therapeutic conduct, which aims to prevent or recover nutritional deficiencies. Objectives: To investigate the evolution of nutritional status and its association with indicators of severity of cirrhosis in patients outpatients at two points. Methods: Longitudinal study of cirrhotic patients older adults, of both sexes, conducted in two stages, in 2012 and 2014. The nutritional status and nutritional risk were assessed using the instruments Royal Free Hospital Global Assessment (RFH-GA) and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002), isolated anthropometric measurements and consumption of calories and macronutrients. It was used as a prognostic marker of the Child-Pugh index. Statistical analysis tests were used to verify the normal distribution of data, comparison of numerical variables, and the difference of the variables. Results and Discussion: Of 60 patients evaluated the average age was 56.25 ± 12 years, predominantly male (65%), prognostic index Child-Pugh A and B in 81.6% 16.6%. There were no significant differences in the diagnosis of malnutrition and nutritional risk compared data from 2012 and 2014 for the RFH-GA; the NRS-2002, as well as stratified by prognostic index. There was a decrease in the prevalence of malnutrition by CMB and increased by PTC. The consumption of energy and protein was below the recommended levels in both time points. Conclusions: We found that methods used in isolation, if the CMB and PTC showed greater variation in nutritional assessment, while BMI and NRS-2002, were not good methods to detect the risk or diagnosis of malnutrition. The RFHGA detected no significant difference in diagnosing malnutrition in the two phases of the research, however longitudionais new studies should be implemented thus evaluating its applicability. Adequate intake of lipids and carbohydrates was demonstrated in two stages, however the consumption of calories and proteins were below the recommendations. It is suggested more studies to assess and monitor the nutritional status of cirrhotic patients in order to identify the most appropriate way to assess these patients
Relação entre estado de saúde bucal e estado nutricional em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica tipo Bypass Gástrico y de Roux
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Odontologia, Florianópolis, 2009.Introdução A obesidade pode influenciar o estado nutricional e o estado de saúde bucal. Objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da perda de peso cirúrgica sobre alterações da cavidade bucal e o estado nutricional. Material e Métodos O estudo caracterizou-se como estudo transversal e estudo prospectivo com segmento, ambos realizados com indivíduos submetidos à gastroplastia com Bypass em Y de Roux. O estudo transversal foi realizado com 101 indivíduos, com idade média de 39,9±9,2 anos, sendo 80% de sexo feminino e 20% do sexo masculino, realizado entre janeiro a março de 2007. O estudo prospectivo com segmento de 12 meses (novembro/2007 a novembro/2008 realizado no período pré-operatório (basal), 1º, 3º, 6º e 12º mês pós-cirurgia foi com uma amostra de 16 indivíduos (13 mulheres e 03 homens), com idade média de 43,6±10,5 anos. Resultados No estudo transversal o tempo médio pós-cirúrgico foi de 14,8 meses. A perda de peso média foi de 35,9±15,9 kg com o índice de massa corporal (IMC) médio de 33,7±6,3 kg/m2 e a circunferência da cintura média de 95,5±15,4 cm. O índice de dentes cariados perdidos e restaurados (CPO-D) médio foi de 17,19±0,85 com redução após seis meses de cirurgia para 16,7±1,07. Houve maior prevalência significativa para dentes perdidos nos primeiros seis meses (10,52±1,53; P=0,026), e dentes restaurados após seis meses de cirurgia (7,96±0,86; P= 0,028). Os indivíduos com IMC acima de 30 kg/ m2 tiveram maior valor do índice de CPO-D (17,6±1,03), assim como, nos componentes: cariado (2,33±0,47) e perdido (8,63±1,1). A circunferência da cintura (CC) correlacionou-se significativamente com o peso (0,429; P<0,001), perda de peso (-0,226; P=0,023), IMC (0,608; P<0,001) e índice CPO-D (0,205; P=0,39) após a cirurgia. No estudo prospectivo com segmento houve diminuição de 31,5% (P<0,05) do peso e do índice de massa corporal após a cirurgia. Na avaliação do índice CPO-D verificou-se redução de 57,7 % (P=0,037) do número de dentes cariados aos 12 meses, ao mesmo tempo em que houve aumento de 20% (P=0,005) no número de dentes restaurados, quando comparado com o período basal. O fluxo salivar reduziu 25% (P=0,044) no 1º mês pós-cirurgia e aumentou em 50% (P=0,006) no 3º mês, se comparado ao basal, atingindo a normalização (1,2±0,3 ml/min). A capacidade tampão reduziu 21,7% (P<0,001) no 6º mês, com classificação de #moderada# e houve aumento da ocorrência de regurgitação (P=0,046), vômito (P=0,008) e acidez (P=0,005) logo no 1º mês, se comparado com o período basal. Conclusões A redução de peso por meio da cirurgia influenciou a redução do risco à doença periodontal. Após a cirurgia bariátrica houve normalização do fluxo salivar, mas a capacidade tampão da saliva foi classificada como moderada provavelmente pelo aumento na incidência de vômitos, acidez e regurgitação permitindo um meio bucal ácido. O índice de massa corporal e a circunferência da cintura são indicadores antropométricos que podem ser considerados fator de risco para doenças bucais.Introduction Obesity may influence both nutritional and oral health status. This work#s objective was to evaluate the effect of post-surgery weight loss over alterations in the oral cavity and the nutritional status. Materials and Methods One transversal and one prospective follow-up study were conducted, both with patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The transversal study evaluated 101 individuals aged 39.9±9.2 years, 80% female, between January and March 2007. The 12-month prospective follow-up study (November 2007 to November 2008) evaluated pre-surgery stage (basal), as well as 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 12th months post-surgery in a sample of 16 individuals aged 43.6±10.5 years (81% female). Results In the transversal study, mean post-surgery time was 14.8 months. Mean weight loss was 35.9±15.9 kg, mean Body Mass Index (BMI) value was 33.7±6.3 kg/m2 and mean waist circumference (WC) value was 95.5±15.4 cm. Mean DMFT index value was 17.19±0.85, decreasing to 16.7±1.07 six months after surgery. Significantly higher prevalences of lost teeth and filled teeth were observed in the first six months (10.52±1.53; P= 0,026) and after six months of surgery (7.96±0.86; P= 0,028), respectively. Individuals whose BMI values were above 30 kg/ m2 had higher DMFT index values, (17.6±1.03), as well as decayed (2.33±0.47) and lost (8.63±1.1) components. WC values were significantly correlated with weight (0.429; P<0.001), weight loss (-0.226; P=0.023), BMI (0.608; P<0.001) and DMFT index (0.205; P=0.39) after surgery. In the prospective follow-up study there was a 51.5% (P<0.05) reduction in weight and BMI after surgery. DMFT index evaluation showed a decrease of 57.7% (P=0.037) in the number of decayed teeth at 12 months when compared to the basal period, while at the same time the number of filled teeth increased 20% (P=0.005). Salivary flow decreased 25% (P=0.044) in the first month and increased 50% (P=0.006) in the third month post-surgery when compared to the basal period, attaining normal levels (1.2±0.3 ml/min). Buffer capacity decreased 21.7% (P<0.001) in the 6th month, when it was classified as #moderate#. Increased occurrence of regurgitation (P=0.046), vomiting (P=0.008) and acidity (P=0.005) were observed early in the 1st month when compared to the basal period. Weight reduction through surgery influenced the reduction of risk of periodontal disease. After gastric bypass, salivary flow was reestablished, but salivary buffer capacity was classified as moderate probably because of increased incidence of vomiting, acidity and regurgitation, leading to an acid oral environment. Body mass index and waist circumference are anthropometric indicators which can be considered as risk factors for oral diseases
Explaining child malnutrition in developing countries: a cross-country analysis
No full text"One in three pre-school children in the developing world is undernourished. As a consequence, their human rights are violated. In addition, they are more likely to have impaired immune systems, poorer cognitive development, lower productivity as adults, and greater susceptibility to diet-related chronic diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease later in life. Undernourished female preschoolers are likely to grow into undernourished young women who are more likely to give birth to babies who are undernourished even before they are born, thus perpetuating the inter-generational transmission of deprivation. Reducing these unacceptably high numbers remains a tremendous challenge to public policy. As a guide to the direction of future efforts, this research report examines the success of the efforts of the past 25 years to reduce preschooler undernutrition. The report uses an econometric model to identify the factors associated with the reduction in undernutrition. The formulation of the econometric model is guided by the widely accepted food-care-health conceptual model of child growth. The contributions of both underlying and basic determinants to reductions in undernutrition are assessed using the model. The potential of these factors to further reduce undernutrition is evaluated in a region-by-region priority-setting exercise. In addition, projections of child nutrition are made under various scenarios to the year 2020. What will it take to dramatically reduce undernutrition in the next 20 years? The report attempts some broad answers to these questions..."

Cirurgia bariátrica: efeitos sobre o estado antioxidante e estresse oxidativo
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde. Programa de Pos-Graduação em Nutrição.Oxidative stress is associated with obesity. Although bariatric surgery is the predominant treatment for individuals with morbid obesity, implications of the surgical weight loss to the antioxidant balance and oxidative stress are not clarified yet. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of surgical weight loss on caloric ingestion, sanguineous levels of vitamin C, â-carotene, vitamin E, reduced glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS). A clinical study was realized in the University Hospital of the Federal University of Santa Catarina with a control group (GC) and a bariatric group (GB), both with 20 individuals. The mean age was 38±11 years in both groups and Body Mass Index (BMI) was 22,4±2,4 kg/m2 and 48±8,7 kg/m2, respectively. The GC was evaluated in only one moment and GB was evaluated before surgery (baseline), 3 and 6 months after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The caloric ingestion (3119±799 to 1164±429 calories/day) and MPO (384,18±18,20 to 32,79±69,20 mU/mL) significantly decreased in six after surgical months in relation to baseline. Moreover, the study showed an increase in vitamin C (0,46±0,14 to 0,76±0,35 mg/dL), â-carotene (0,51±0,53 to 1,72±0,23 ìM), vitamin E - corrected ratio - (0,006±0,003 to 0,013±0,007 ìmol/ mg), CAT (15,98±6,41 to 24,86±9,78 mmol H2O2/ min/mL) and TBARS (14,59±2,42 to 26,89±6,70 nmol/ mL) in six after surgical months. These results had been similar to the GC. The significant correlations in GB were demonstrated between BMI and vitamin C, â-carotene, TBARS and MPO (rho= -0,269; -0,492; -0,346 e 0,576, respectively). Concluding, this study evidenced weight reduction and caloric ingestion decrease after surgery. It presented an improvement in vitamin E, vitamin C and â-carotene levels, a reduction in MPO levels and an increase in CAT and TBARS levels after surgical intervention

No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Nutrição.Os pacientes com neoplasias hematológicas são submetidos a tratamento quimioterápico que induz uma intensa alteração na integridade da mucosa intestinal, favorecendo um aumento da morbi-mortalidade desses indivíduos. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o efeito do frutooligossacarídeo (FOS) nos indivíduos com neoplasias hematológicas submetidos à quimioterapia. Foi realizado um estudo clínico randomizado duplo cego envolvendo 25 pacientes distribuídos em 2 grupos que receberam por 15 dias, 12g de FOS (n=14) ou placebo (maltodextrina) (n=11). Foram avaliados o consumo alimentar de energia, proteína e fibra pelo método de pesagem direta dos alimentos e os dados foram analisados no software Nutwin. O estado nutricional foi classificado segundo o Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC) e o percentual de alteração de peso, bem como, os níveis séricos de albumina, pré-albumina, proteína C reativa e hemoculturas foram determinados. As análises do conteúdo de bifidobactérias e pH fecal foram realizadas antes e após a suplementação. Foi verificada a presença de diarréia e de constipação, além da incidência de sepse e infecção. Os dados foram analisados no programa estatístico SPSS 10.0 para Windows. Os resultados mostraram predomínio do sexo masculino (72%) e a idade média de 34 anos na população estudada. 52% dos pacientes apresentaram-se eutróficos, porém, verificou-se perda de peso intensa em ambos os grupos, sendo estatisticamente maior no grupo controle. Os níveis séricos de albumina e pré-albumina apresentaram-se significativamente reduzido no grupo controle, entretanto, os níveis séricos de proteína C reativa foram mais elevados neste grupo. O grupo suplementado apresentou um aumento significante no conteúdo de bifidobactérias (P<0,05) e o pH fecal não foi alterado em ambos os grupos. O conteúdo de bifidobactérias correlacionou-se negativamente com a freqüência de diarréia (r= -0,420; P=0,04) e com os níveis séricos de proteína C reativa (r= -0,504; P=0,01). Embora a incidência de sepse e de infecção tenha sido superior no grupo suplementado, não houve diferença significante entre os grupos. A presença de diarréia e constipação não foi significativamente diferente nos grupos estudados. Verificou-se que a suplementação aumentou o conteúdo de bifidobactérias interferindo na composição da microbiota intestinal e o consumo alimentar reduzido influenciou o estado nutricional dos pacientes estudados
Waist Circumference Is Better Associated With High Density Lipoprotein (hdl-c) Than With Body Mass Index (bmi) In Adults With Metabolic Syndrome [circunferencia De La Cintura Es Mejor Asociado Con Lipoproteínas De Alta Densidad (lad-c) Que Con El índice De Masa Corporal (imc) En Adultos Con Síndrome Metabólico]
No full textBackground: The measurement of waist circumference (WC) is the most prevalent cause of the metabolic syndrome (MS). Objective: The aim of this study was to correlate WC and BMI with high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c) levels in patients with MS being consulted by the Family Health Program (PSF), Brazil. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from September to November 2008 with 42 patients (29 women and 13 men) from 35 to 77 years. Dietary intake was reported, and biochemical and body composition measures were taken. Results: The HDL-c levels were higher in women when compared to men (48.4 ± 8.1 mg/dL vs. 36.4 ± 7.8 mg/dL). However, the triglycerides (TG)/HDL-c ratio and TG concentrations were lower in women (3.8 ± 1.5 and 178.0 ± 57.8 mg/dL, respectively) than in men (9.4 ± 8.5 and 471.5 ± 501.5 mg/dL, respectively). Regarding skinfold profile, the triceps was greater in females (37.0 ± 8.4 cm vs. 20.7 ± 10.5 cm). The dietetic profile showed that women had a lower intake of energy, fiber, phosphorus and sodium. The fruits and vegetables intake was dimi -nished in the participants of this study, as less than 60% of the women and 50% of men met the daily recommendations. Approximately 54% of men and 28% of women had a lower intake of dairy products daily. Moreover, the results shows that the WC was negatively correlated to HDL-c (r = -0.41, p 0.06). Conclusion: Our findings showed that WC is a better predictor of changes in HDL-c than BMI.26613281332IV Brazilian guideline for dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis prevention: Department of atherosclerosis of brazilian society of cardiology (2007) Arq Bras Cardiol, 88 (SUPPL.

Search for heavy stable and longlived particles in e+ e- collisions at s**(1/2) = 189-GeV
No full textA search for stable and long-lived heavy charged particles was performed using the data taken by the DELPHI experiment at an energy of 189 GeV. The Cherenkov light detected in the Ring Imaging Cherenkov Detector and the ionisation loss measured in the Time Projection Chamber were used to identify heavy particles passing through the detector. No evidence for the production of such particles has been found, therefore exclusion limits at 95% confidence level were derived on the masses of left and right handed smuons and staus. The results were combined with previous DELPHI searches in this channel. Including previous DELPHI results, masses of left (right) handed stable smuons and staus can be excluded between 2 GeV/c2 and 88 (87.5) GeV/c2 at 95% CL.0info:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

ages that from time to time make
their appearance In human affairs
anil are noted, usually In silence, by
the wise. And we have such
presage here. There Is now
broad dividing line In human
thought, and there is an old and
tired race and a new and virile one.
There la a power In tbe world that
builds and another power that
tears down. The new end vlrlls

the -canal; It built the city of San

It la building also something of
amity and good fellowship. Ther
must Indeed be blind to tbe tnsan*

write the history of the present century these three triumphs will stand
out boldly conspicuous among tha
things that humanity willingly and
proudly remembers Tbem will be
much that humanity will gladly forget and will try to forget, but It
will not forget these permanent ad*
