RESUMO

Resumo O estudo investiga o impacto do intercruzamento de raça/cor, escolaridade e local de residência na não adequação do cuidado prestado em diferentes dimensões do pré-natal. Para tal, analisaram-se dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde de 2013 com modelos de regressão logística múltipla. Os resultados sugerem que as variáveis operam em conjunto na não adequação ao pré-natal. As mulheres negras e as menos escolarizadas apresentaram maior probabilidade de não ter 6 consultas de pré-natal, iniciadas antes da 12ª semana de gestação. Mulheres de até 20 anos de idade, residentes nas regiões Norte, Nordeste e Centro-Oeste e menos escolarizadas foram menos submetidas aos exames laboratoriais e físicos preconizados. E, por último, mulheres negras e de até 20 anos de idade foram mais propensas a não receber orientações sobre o parto. Os achados reiteram a natureza multifacetada do problema e alertam para a insuficiência dos inquéritos populacionais, ao não incluir e não permitir a caracterização dos segmentos mais marginalizados da população, dificultando a investigação de realidades segundo uma perspectiva interseccional.

Abstract The present study investigates the intersecting impacts of race/color, education and place of residence on the non-adequacy of care provided in different dimensions of prenatal care. To this end, we analyzed data from the 2013 National Health Survey using multiple logistic regression models. The results suggest that the variables operate together to shape non-adequacy to prenatal care. Black women and those with less schooling were more likely to miss 6 prenatal consultations, starting before the 12th week of pregnancy. Women up to 20 years of age, those residing in the North, Northeast and Midwest regions and those with less schooling were less submitted to the recommended laboratory and physical exams. And, finally, black women and those up to 20 years of age were more likely to not receive guidance on childbirth. Our findings reiterate the multifaceted nature of the problem and point to the insufficiency of population surveys, by not including and not allowing the characterization of the most marginalized segments of the population, making it difficult to further investigate realities from an intersectional perspective.

RESUMO

The influence of different concentrations of NaCl (2.5% and 1.75%), basic electrolyzed water (BEW), and ultrasound (US, 25 kHz, 159 W) on the quality of fresh sausages was studied. During storage at 5 °C, TBARS, pH, Eh, aw, nitrous pigments, and bacterial evolution were evaluated at three specific time intervals: 1d, 15d, and 30d. At the same time, the volatile compounds and sensory profile were specifically assessed on both the 1d and 30d. Notably, sausages with 1.75% NaCl and BEW displayed higher pH values (up to 6.30) and nitrous pigment formation, alongside reduced Eh (as low as 40.55 mV) and TBARS values (ranging from 0.016 to 0.134 mg MDA/kg sample), compared to the 2.5% NaCl variants. Protein content ranged between 13.01% and 13.75%, while lipid content was between 18.23% and 18.86%, consistent across all treatments. Psychrotrophic lactic bacteria showed a significant increase in low-NaCl sausages, ranging from 5.77 to 7.59 log CFU/g, indicative of potential preservative benefits. The sensory analysis favored the TUSBEW70 treatment for its salty flavor on the 30th day, reflecting a positive sensory acceptance. The study highlights that employing US and BEW in sausage preparation with reduced NaCl content (1.75%) maintains quality comparable to higher salt (2.5%) counterparts. These findings are crucial for meat processing, presenting a viable approach to producing healthier sausages with reduced sodium content without compromising quality, aligning with consumer health preferences and industry standards.

RESUMO

Dairy bulls in feedlots have been a viable alternative for dairy producers to reinforce the family's income. Aspects such as balanced diets and proper management are essential for these animals to develop and allow an economic return fully. Plant extracts are performance enhancers and ruminal and intestinal health promoters. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate whether the addition of encapsulated pepper (EP) blend (Capsicum annuum, Capsicum frutescens, and Capsicum chinense - rich in capsaicin) interferes with the volatile fatty acid profile in the rumen and enhances the growth performance of Holstein bullocks in a feedlot. For the experiment, 24 whole bullocks were used, distributed into three treatments, with eight replicates per treatment (one animal as an experimental unit, kept in an individual stall): groups T0, T200, and T400, receiving 0 mg, 200 mg, and 400 mg EP/kg of concentrate, respectively. Knowing the intake of concentrate and the average body weight during the experiment, we calculated the dose in mg/kg/day of the EP; that is, the T200 animals consumed 2.45 mg EP/kg (body weight -BW)/day; and T400 consumed 4.9 mg EP/kg BW/day. The animals from T400 presented a more significant weight gain between days 15 and 45 of confinement compared to T0 (P=0.05). This same treatment (T400) had a trend of lower weight gain between days 46 and 90 (P=0.09). Likewise, the T400 group had higher feed efficiency than T0 between days 15 and 45. Furthermore, the treatments affected the white blood cell count, with the T400 bullocks showing a higher number of neutrophils and lymphocytes. Higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in the serum of steers from both groups that consumed pepper (P<0.01). Interaction between treatment × day was observed for the activity of glutathione enzymes (GST and GPx) and levels of lipoperoxidation (LPO) (characterized by antioxidant stimulation) associated with the reduction in serum LPO; similar antioxidant enzymes behavior was observed in the liver. In the small intestine (jejunum), the activities of antioxidant enzymes (GST and GPx) were lower in the two groups of cattle that consumed EP, and LPO was lower. The treatments affected the concentration of acetic acid in the rumen fluid, presenting lower levels in T400 compared to T200 and similar T0 (P≤0.05). There was an interaction of day vs. treatment for propionic acid, presenting a higher concentration on day 45 at T400 than T0. These results, therefore, allow us to conclude that adding 400 mg of pepper extract can be an excellent additive for weight gain at the beginning of the experiment; however, over time, this dose of additive negatively affects weight gain. Both EP doses stimulated serum and tissue antioxidant responses, reducing lipoperoxidation. However, the 400 mg EP/kg concentrate suggests a pro-inflammatory response (leukocytosis and elevated CRP), s probably related to the high dose (i.e., between 1.7 and 2.4 g/animal/day).

RESUMO

Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases worldwide and has been responsible for millions of deaths. However, developing a satisfactory smart multifunctional material combining different strategies to kill cancer cells poses a challenge. This work aims at filling this gap by developing a composite material for cancer treatment through hyperthermia and drug release. With this purpose, magnetic nanoparticles were coated with a polymer matrix consisting of poly (L-co-D,L lactic acid-co-trimethylene carbonate) and a poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction confirmed magnetite to be the only iron oxide in the sample. Cytotoxicity and heat release assays on the hybrid nanoparticles were performed here for the first time. The heat induction results indicate that these new magnetic hybrid nanoparticles are capable of increasing the temperature by more than 5 °C, the minimal temperature rise required for being effectively used in hyperthermia treatments. The biocompatibility assays conducted under different concentrations, in the presence and in the absence of an external alternating current magnetic field, did not reveal any cytotoxicity. Therefore, the overall results indicate that the investigated hybrid nanoparticles have a great potential to be used as carrier systems for cancer treatment by hyperthermia.

RESUMO

The study investigated how the interaction between axes of marginalization based on race/color, gender, schooling, and interpersonal discrimination affect different dimensions of quality of life in adult individuals. This is a cross-sectional study with data from the second wave of the EpiFloripa Adult Study in Florianópolis, southern Brazil, in 2012. We estimated linear regression models for each domain and for overall quality of life, measured with WHOQOL-Bref. The KHB method was used to estimate the mediating role of perceived discrimination in the associations between the axes of marginalization and quality of life. The analysis showed that schooling and gender operate additivelly, but not intersectionally, on overall quality of life and on the physical domain, with a disadvantage for women and individuals with 11 years of schooling or less. Schooling and race/color were predictors of the environmental domain, with lower mean values for blacks and individuals with 11 years of schooling or less. In the psychological domain, the intersection between gender and schooling resulted in a mean value 2.9 points higher for women with 12 or more years of schooling. Gender and race/color were predictors of quality of life in the social domain, reducing the mean value for black women by 11.3 points. Mediation analyses showed that 29.6% of the effect of the intersection between schooling and gender on the psychological domain and 4.3% of the effect of the intersection between race/color and gender on the social domain were mediated by interpersonal discrimination. These results confirmed the study hypotheses, pointing to the importance and contribution of an intersectional analysis for studying inequities in quality of life.

Escolaridade e raça/cor foram preditores do domínio meio ambiente, com médias inferiores para negros e indivíduos com até 11 anos de estudo. No domínio psicológico, a intersecção entre gênero e escolaridade resultou em uma média 2,9 pontos maior para mulheres com 12+ anos de estudo. Gênero e raça/cor foram preditores da qualidade de vida no domínio social, reduzindo em 11,3 pontos a média das mulheres negras. Análises de mediação demonstraram que 29,6% do efeito da interseccção entre escolaridade e gênero sobre o domínio psicológico e 4,3% do efeito da intersecção entre raça/cor e gênero sobre o domínio social foram mediados pela discriminação interpessoal. Esses resultados confirmam as hipóteses do estudo, apontando a importância e a contribuição da análise interseccional para a investigação das iniquidades na qualidade de vida.

RESUMO

Apples have a continuous hydrophobic layer that covers the surface of the fruit, which is called the cuticle. The effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on the cuticular wax layer of apples were reported after cold storage, although the interaction between 1-MCP and dynamic controlled atmosphere (DCA) is not yet known. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effects of 1-MCP on the wax composition and metabolism of 'Maxi Gala' apples after storage in a controlled atmosphere (CA) and dynamic controlled atmosphere based on chlorophyll fluorescence (DCA-CF) and respiratory quotient (DCA-RQ; RQ = 1.3 and 1.5). The 1-MCP treatment effectively decreased ethylene production for CA and DCA-CF treatments, while in DCA-RQ treatments produced no effect. The average extracted cuticular wax content of 'Maxi Gala' apples was 16.65 g m-2 and no differences in storage conditions or 1-MCP application were observed. Alkanes, alcohols, fatty acids, aldehydes, and terpenoids were identified in the chemical composition of the cuticular waxes, being alkanes and fatty acids the predominant ones. Moreover, 1-MCP decreased fatty acid and 10-nonacosanol concentrations in the fruit. Fruit with the 1-MCP application and stored in DCA had lower α-farnesene concentrations. The wax compositions of the DCA-stored apples with and without 1-MCP were similar. However, 1-MCP treatment resulted in a greater mass loss in fruit stored in DCA.

RESUMO

Zika is an important emerging infectious disease in which the role of T cells remains elusive. This study aimed to evaluate the phenotype of multifunctional T cells in individuals 2 yr after exposure to Zika virus (ZIKV). We used a library of 671 synthetic peptides covering the whole polyprotein of ZIKV in pools corresponding to each viral protein (i.e., capsid, membrane precursor or prM, envelope, NS1 [nonstructural protein], NS2A + NS2B, NS3, NS4A + NS4B, and NS5) to stimulate PBMCs from individuals previously exposed to ZIKV. We observed an increased frequency of ZIKV-specific IFNγ, IL-17A, TNF, and IL-10 production by T cell populations. IFNγ and TNF production were especially stimulated by prM, capsid, or NS1 in CD8+ T cells and by capsid or prM in CD4+ T cells. In addition, there was an increase in the frequency of IL-10+ CD8+ T cells after stimulation with prM, capsid, NS1, NS3, or NS5. Multifunctional properties were observed in ZIKV-specific T cells responding especially to prM, capsid, NS1 or, to a smaller extent, NS3 antigens. For example, we found a consistent IFNγ + TNF+ CD8+ T cell population in response to most virus antigens and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells that were IFNγ + IL-17A+ and IL-17A+IL-10+, which could also produce TNF, in response to capsid, prM, NS1, or NS3 stimulation. Interestingly, CD8+ T cells were more prone to a multifunctional phenotype than CD4+ T cells, and multifunctional T cells were more efficient at producing cytokines than single-function cells. This work provides relevant insights into the quality of ZIKV-specific T cell responses and ZIKV immunity.

RESUMO

A doença renal crônica (DRC) é caracterizada por alterações heterogêneas, que afetam tanto a estrutura quanto a função renal, poderá decorrer com redução da capacidade funcional e da qualidade de vida dessa população. OBJETIVO: avaliar a capacidade funcional e qualidade de vida de pacientes com DRC hospitalizados. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo de natureza observacional, quantitativo, descritivo, transversal. Utilizou três questionários: um clínico, o SF36 para a avaliação da qualidade de vida, e o Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), para avaliação da capacidade funcional. Os dados foram analisados através de estatística descritiva, considerando média, desvio padrão e porcentagem. RESULTADOS: A amostra foi composta por 11 pacientes com DRC (63,63% homens). Os piores scores no SF36, em ambos os gêneros, foram relacionados aos aspectos físicos (0) e emocionais (0). O HAQ evidenciou maior déficit funcional no sexo feminino (1,80). Em relação à idade, em todas as faixas etárias o SF-36 apontou "aspectos físicos" (0) e "emocionais" (0) com piores índices. O HAQ encontrou pior escore na faixa de 30-59 anos e nos indivíduos com mais de três doenças associadas, Doença Renal Crônica, Hipertensão Arterial e Diabetes (deficiência moderada 1,09/1,70, respectivamente). Também foram encontrados nesses indivíduos piores scores no SF36 para os domínios de "capacidade funcional" (66,20), "estado geral" (56,50), "vitalidade" (55,00) e "aspectos sociais" (43,50). CONCLUSÃO: Os indivíduos analisados com DRC apresentaram baixos escores relacionados à qualidade de vida, e capacidade funcional moderada nas mulheres e leve nos homens.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by heterogeneous changes, which affect both the structure and the renal function, may result in a reduction in the functional capacity and quality of life of this population. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the functional capacity and quality of life of patients with CKD hospitalized. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Observational, quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study. It used three questionnaires: a clinical one, the SF36 for assessing quality of life, and the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), for assessing functional capacity. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, considering mean, standard deviation and percentage. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 11 patients with CKD (63.63% men). The worst scores in SF36, in both genders, were related to the physical (0) and emotional (0) aspects. The HAQ showed a greater functional deficit in females (1.80). Regarding age, in all age groups, the SF-36 pointed to "physical aspects" (0) and "emotional" (0) with the worst indexes. The HAQ found the worst score in the 30-59 age group and in individuals with more than three associated diseases, Chronic Kidney Disease, Arterial Hypertension and Diabetes and (moderate deficiency 1.09 / 1.70 respectively). These individuals also found worse scores in the SF36 for the domains of "functional capacity" (66.20), "general state" (56.50), "vitality" (55.00) and "social aspects" (43.50). CONCLUSION: The individuals analyzed with CKD had low scores related to quality of life, and moderate functional capacity in women and mild in men.

RESUMO

Bisphenol-A is currently considered an environmental pollutant, capable of interfering in the endocrine system of organisms and causing alterations in its development and reproductive system. An alternative method to the chemical treatment of this pollutant has been the use of oxidative enzymes, especially laccases produced by fungi. In order to reduce production costs, agro-industrial waste can be used in the culture medium composition. Nonionic surfactants, which are only slightly toxic to biological membranes, can be applied, as well as Tween 80, to facilitate the excretion of these enzymes into the culture medium. The objectives of this work were: a) characterize the immersion water of banana straw used in the formulation of the culture medium; b) evaluate laccase production by Pleurotus sajor-caju in culture medium with and without addition of Tween 80, through shaken flasks; c) evaluate the efficiency of the crude enzyme broth in degrading bisphenol-A. The shaken flasks were incubated at 30°C for 12 days. The immersion water had a C:N ratio of 13.8, ash percentage of 28.6%, and pH close to neutrality. The addition of Tween 80 on the culture medium (7.5%, m/v) yielded laccase activity and productivity values equal to 3,016.47 U L-1 and 502.7 U L-1 day-1, respectively. These values were 50 and 33.5 times higher than those obtained in the culture medium without addition of Tween 80 for laccase activity and productivity, respectively. The crude enzyme broth degraded 100% of bisphenol-A after 48 hours, regardless of concentration (500, 750 and 1,000 mg L-1).(AU)

O bisfenol-A é considerado um poluente ambiental capaz de interferir no sistema endócrino dos organismos, ocasionando alterações em seu desenvolvimento e sistema de reprodução. Um método alternativo ao tratamento químico desse tipo de poluente tem sido a utilização de enzimas oxidativas, especialmente as lacases, produzidas por fungos. A fim de diminuir custos de produção, resíduos agroindustriais podem compor o meio de cultivo. Assim, surfactantes não iônicos e pouco tóxicos para as membranas biológicas, como o Tween 80, podem ser utilizados para facilitar a excreção dessas enzimas para o meio de cultivo. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: caracterizar quimicamente o resíduo água de imersão de palha de bananeira, usado na formulação do meio de cultivo; avaliar a produção de lacase por Pleurotus sajor-caju em meio de cultivo líquido (frascos Erlenmeyer) com e sem adição de Tween 80; e avaliar a eficiência do caldo enzimático bruto em degradar bisfenol-A. Os frascos foram incubados a 30°C, por 12 dias. A água de imersão apresentou relação C:N 13,8, percentual de cinzas 28,6% e pH próximo da neutralidade. O cultivo adicionado de Tween 80 (7,5%, m/v) propiciou valores de atividade e produtividade em lacase iguais a 3.016,47 U L-1 e 502,7 U L-1 dia-1, respectivamente. Esses valores são 50 e 33,5 vezes maiores que os obtidos no cultivo sem adição de Tween 80, para atividade e produtividade em lacase, respectivamente. O caldo enzimático bruto degradou 100% do bisfenol-A após 48 horas, independentemente da concentração (500, 750 e 1.000 mg L-1).(AU)
