A multicases study of six adolescents (three males and three females, aged 13 to 14 years) diagnosed with DS and treated at two institutions in the city of Natal (Brazil), was conducted. Participants were assessed using the methodological approach developed by Luria, which is composed by four complementary stages. The first one aimed to investigate the qualitative impact of DS in school life and social development of the adolescents; dimensions of behavior and social-affective aspects of the members of the study were investigated. In the second stage participants performed a battery of neuropsychological tests in order to identify strengths and weaknesses in their cognitive functioning. The third stage was incorporated into the second in order to analyze the quality of the activity of the participants along the quantitative evaluation, highlighting strategies used, errors produced among other indicators. Lastly, the fourth stage refers to the intervention with the participants. Although this is not a specific objective of the study, it is argued that the outcome of this research will subsidize the practice of different professionals working with this clinical group. The results of the first stage emphasized the presence of difficulties in social relationships and in school life of observed adolescents. In turn, the second and third stages pointed out to the presence of difficulties in tasks involving logical and abstract thinking, as well as difficulties in expressive language. In relation to visual memory, we observed a better performance in activities of lower complexity, ie, with less interference of executive functioning, particularly in terms of the functions of planning and initiative. Finally, it was found motor and mental retardation, affecting significantly the performance related to different cognitive areas. The results highlighted here can be considered as subsidies for future interventions, suggesting the need for developping projects that take into account different aspects constituents of the human subject, involving not only the individual with developmental changes, as well as their families, teachers, schools and society in general / A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo contribuir para a caracteriza??o de um fen?tipo neuropsicol?gico de adolescentes com S?ndrome de Down (SD). Foi realizado um estudo multicasos de seis adolescentes diagnosticados com SD, sendo tr?s do sexo masculino e tr?s do sexo feminino, na faixa et?ria de 13 e 14 anos, atendidos em duas institui??es da cidade de Natal. Os participantes foram avaliados a partir da metodologia desenvolvida por Luria, sendo esta constitu?da de quatro etapas complementares. A primeira teve como objetivo a investiga??o qualitativa do impacto da SD no cotidiano escolar e social dos adolescentes. Foram investigadas as dimens?es do comportamento e dos aspectos s?cio-afetivos dos integrantes do estudo. Na segunda etapa, os participantes realizaram uma bateria de testes neuropsicol?gicos com o intuito de identifica??o de pontos fortes e fragilidades em seu funcionamento cognitivo. A terceira etapa foi incorporada ? segunda e teve como objetivo central analisar a qualidade da atividade dos participantes ao longo da avalia??o quantitativa, destacando estrat?gias utilizadas, erros produzidos dentre outros indicadores. Por fim, a quarta etapa refere-se ? interven??o junto aos participantes. Apesar desta n?o ser um objetivo espec?fico do estudo, defende-se que o resultado final desta pesquisa subsidiar? a pr?tica significativa de diferentes profissionais que atuam junto a este grupo cl?nico. Os resultados da primeira etapa ressaltam a presen?a de dificuldades nos relacionamentos sociais e no cotidiano escolar deste subgrupo. Por sua vez, as etapas dois e tr?s apontam para a presen?a de dificuldades em tarefas que envolvem o pensamento l?gico e abstrato, bem como preju?zos significativos na linguagem expressiva. Em rela??o ? mem?ria visual, observou-se um desempenho melhor em atividades de menor complexidade, ou seja, com menos interfer?ncia do funcionamento executivo, notadamente em termos das fun??es de planejamento e iniciativa. Por fim, destaca-se a presen?a de lentifica??o motora e mental, repercutindo significativamente no desempenho de diferentes ?reas cognitivas. Nesse sentido, os resultados aqui destacados podem ser considerados enquanto subs?dios para interven??es futuras, sugerindo a necessidade do desenvolvimento de projetos que levem em considera??o os diferentes aspectos constituintes do sujeito humano, envolvendo n?o apenas o indiv?duo com altera??es desenvolvimentais, como tamb?m suas fam?lias, professores, escolas e a sociedade em geral

This thesis is part of Project of the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic No P504/11/1151, focused on the role of plants in the balance of carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases produced in the ecosystem of a sedge fen, which is situated on the study site Wet Meadows near Třeboň. The thesis deals with the growth dynamics of the dominant sedge, Carex acuta. The samples were taken using the method of successive harvests near the automatic meteorological station of Czech Globe, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. During the growing season nine harvests were accomplished on 25.3, 15.4, 6.5, 5.6., 9.7., 5.8., 9.9., 21.10., 25.11.. On each date eight replicates were taken, i.e., a total of 72 samples within the vegetation season. The seasonal dynamic of the above ground biomass was compared between C. acuta and the other plant species on the experimental area. Both live and dead biomass, was harvested and subsequently sorted to single botanic species, dried, weighed and the values were processed using the MS Excel tables. The seasonal maximum of aboveground biomass of all plant species (both live and dead parts) was found on 9.7. (1452,72 g.m-2). Among plant species the highest values of aboveground biomass were attained by Calamagrostis canescens (1257,93 g.m-2) and C. acuta (1163,49 g.m-2). C. acuta displayed the highest density of all shoots on 15.4 (300 m-2),and the highest average weight of one shoot. The maximum length of the longest live shoot of Carex acuta was very consistent among the measurememnts.

In Brazil, the species can be found mainly in the northern and northeastern regions. Scarce chemical and pharmacological studies have been reported for S. mombin and until this moment studies about chemical markers were not developed. In this context, the aims of this study were to characterize the chemical markers from S. mombin leaves and evaluate their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiproliferative potentials. The chemical profile of the hydroethanolic extract from S. mombin leaves analyzed by HPLC-DAD, through a validated method, allowed the identification and quantification of ellagic acid and chlorogenic acid. This extract showed anti-inflammatory potential in acute peritonitis model induced by carrageenan. The hydroethanolic extract from S. mombin leaves was subjected to a liquid-liquid partition with the solvents: n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. Regarding the anti-inflammatory potential of the fractions obtained they were active; however, ethyl acetate fraction at 200 mg/kg showed highlighted results. The compounds ellagic acid and chlorogenic acid also inhibited the leukocyte migration to the site of inflammation at 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg. The hydroethanolic extract, fractions and the chemical markers showed significant antioxidant potential when evaluated in different assays: DPPH Free-Radical Scavenging, Superoxide Radical Scavenging, Hydroxyl Radicals Scavenging and Reducing Power. Taken together our results showed that hydroethanolic extract of S. mombin leaves has ellagic acid and chlorogenic acid as bioactive markers and it demonstrated antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties besides no cytotoxicity against 3T3 cells. It enables us to suggest S. mombin as an important species to develop herbal drugs / S. mombin ? uma esp?cie frut?fera que se encontra dispersa em regi?es tropicais da Am?rica, ?frica e ?sia. No Brasil a esp?cie pode ser encontrada em v?rios estados tendo maior preval?ncia nas regi?es norte e nordeste do pa?s. Foram descritos poucos estudos qu?micos e farmacol?gicos para a esp?cie S. mombin e at? o momento n?o foram analisados os marcadores qu?micos da esp?cie. Diante desse contexto, este trabalho buscou caracterizar os marcadores qu?micos para as folhas e frutos de S. mombin e avaliar a atividade anti-inflamat?ria, antioxidante, antiproliferativa e antimicrobiana. O extrato das folhas (EHfl) secas e dos frutos (EHfr) in natura foram preparados por macera??o em meio hidroalco?lico. Para a caracteriza??o dos compostos ativos da esp?cie S. mombin, os extratos hidroetan?licos foram submetidos ? parti??o l?quido-l?quido com solventes de polaridade crescente n- hexano (Hex), diclorometano (Dcm), acetato de etila (AcOEt) e n-butanol (ButOH). A avalia??o do perfil qu?mico das folhas por CCD e CLAE mostrou que a esp?cie ? rica em compostos fen?licos. Na an?lise por CCD foi observada a presen?a de quercetina, ?cido el?gico e canferol. A an?lise por CLAE permitiu a identifica??o e a quantifica??o de ?cido el?gico e ?cido clorog?nico no EHfl. A metodologia anal?tica foi validada segundo os par?metros estabelecidos pela RDC 899/ 2003 e pela ICH. Na an?lise qualitativa por CLAE do EHfr foram identificados o ?cido clorog?nico e a rutina. Os resultados da avalia??o da atividade antiinflamat?ria mostraram que o EHfl das folhas, nas doses de 100, 200, 300 e 500 mg/kg, apresentou efeito de inibi??o da migra??o de leuc?citos no modelo de peritonite aguda induzida por carragenina. Todas as fra??es foram ativas, no entanto, a fra??o AcOEt na dose de 200 mg/kg apresentou melhor atividade em rela??o ?s outras fra??es testadas.O EHfl e a fra??o AcOEt apresentaram importante perfil de inibi??o bacteriana no teste de difus?o em disco, principalmente frente ? bact?ria S. flexneri. O EHfl e as fra??es (Dcm, AcOEt, ButOH) das folhas assim como o EHfr apresentaram importante atividade antioxidante nos ensaios de DPPH, sequestro de radicais super?xidos, sequestro de radicais hidroxilas e poder redutor. No que se refere ? avalia??o da citotoxicidade do EHfl, das respectivas fra??es e do EHfr frente ? cultura de c?lulas de fibroblastos 3T3 n?o foi observada citotoxidade significativa. Os resultados mostraram que o EHfl possui atividade antiinflamat?ria, antioxidante e antimicrobiana. Verificou-se que o ?cido clorog?nico e o ?cido el?gico podem ser usados como marcadores biativos das folhas de S. mombin. O EHfr apresentou atividade antioxidante e foi observada a presen?a de ?cido clorog?nico e rutina. Al?m disso, n?o foi observada atividade citot?xica para o EHfr e para o EHfl

Fritsch, and Couepia impressa Prance (Chrysobalanaceae family) plants have long been used medicinally by the people from Northeastern Brazil. Crude extracts and infusions of these plants have been applied in the treatment of several conditions such as diabetes and rheumatism, degenerative diseases with involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the aqueous, ethanolic, and hydroethanolic leaves extracts antioxidant capacity of these species, using several in vitro assay systems (reducing power, DPPH? scavenging, the ?-carotene linoleate model system and lipid peroxidation inhibition in rat brain homogenate, using thiobarbituric acid reactive substances - TBARS). The oral acute toxicity of aqueous extracts was also evaluated in vivo. Results revealed that these extracts possess a potent reducing power and DPPH scavenging ability, as well as the ability to prevent TBARS formation in rat brain homogenate in a concentration-dependent manner. Regarding in vivo oral acute toxicity of the aqueous species extracts, no toxic effects were observed upon evaluating physiological, hematological and biochemical parameters. The presence of high levels of phenolics and flavonoids was determined mainly in the ethanol extract. However, the C. impressa hydroethanolic extract, fractionated with hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate for analysis by NMR 1H, showed more efficient results than the reference antioxidant Carduus marianus. The classes of organics compounds were determined were phenolics in the fraction of ethyl acetate and terpenes in chloroform and hexane fractions. The ethil acetate fraction had the highest content of flavonoids and increased scavenging capacity of DPPH?, possibly by the presence of phenolic compounds. Therefore, a detailed investigation of the phytochemical composition and in vivo study of the C. impressa hydroethanolic extract is suggested to characterize the active compounds of the species / Licania rigida Benth., Licania tomentosa (Benth.) Fritsch, e Couepia impressa Prance (fam?lia Chrysobalanaceae) s?o plantas utilizadas pela medicina popular do Nordeste do Brasil, sob a forma de extratos e infus?es para o tratamento do diabetes e reumatismo, doen?as degenerativas com envolvimento de esp?cies reativas de oxig?nio (ERO). O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a capacidade antioxidante dos extratos aquoso, etan?lico e hidroetan?lico das folhas dessas esp?cies, utilizando v?rios sistemas de ensaio in vitro (poder redutor, capacidade de sequestro do DPPH?, o sistema ?- caroteno/?cido linoleico e a inibi??o da peroxida??o lip?dica em homogenato de c?rebro de ratos, utilizando as subst?ncias reativas do ?cido tiobarbit?rico - SRAT). A toxicidade oral aguda dos extratos aquosos tamb?m foi avaliada in vivo. Os resultados revelaram extratos com alto poder redutor, capacidade de sequestro do DPPH? e de prote??o no sitema ?-caroteno/?cido linoleico, bem como a capacidade de impedir a forma??o de SRAT em homogenato de c?rebro de ratos, de maneira concentra??o-dependente. Quanto ? toxicidade oral aguda in vivo dos extratos aquosos, nenhum efeito t?xico foi observado em rela??o ?s avalia??es fisiol?gica, hematol?gica e bioqu?mica. A presen?a de elevado teor de compostos fen?licos e flavonoides foi determinada principalmente no extrato etan?lico. Entretanto, o extrato hidroetan?lico de C. impressa, fracionado com hexano, clorof?rmio e acetato de etila para a an?lise por RMN 1H, mostrou resultados mais eficientes do que o antioxidante de refer?ncia Carduus marianus. As classes de compostos org?nicos determinados foram fen?licos na fra??o acetato de etila e terpenos nas fra??es hex?nica e clorof?rmica. A fra??o acetato de etila apresentou o maior teor de flavonoides e maior capacidade de sequestro do DPPH?, possivelmente pela presen?a de compostos fen?licos. Portanto, uma detalhada investiga??o da composi??o fitoqu?mica e estudo in vivo do extrato hidroetan?lico de C. impressa ? sugerida para caracterizar os compostos ativos da esp?cie

Overexpression of the transporter proteins P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) confer resistance to the treatment these leukemias. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the expression of the Gpp and MRP1 in patients with AML by flow cytometry (FC) and to determine the correlation between expression and demographic and also clinical and laboratorial variables. METHODS: Bone marrow and peripheral blood samples from 346 patients with a diagnosis of AML were assessed for the expression of Pgp and MRP1 by FC. RESULTS: The expression of Pgp and MRP1 was found in 111 (32.1%) and 133 (38.4%) patients, respectively, with greater prevalence in older patients and lower in adolescents, observing also a high incidence in patients with refractory disease, recurrence and secondary in comparison with the cases of de novo AML. Regarding the laboratory findings, we observed a higher correlation statistically significant between the expression of Pgp and MRP1 in AML CD34+ and FAB AML M7, M5A and M2 and lower the M3 subtype, not observed statistically significant correlation between the phenotype MDR and other laboratory data such with hemoglobin, leukocyte count, platelet count, aberrant expression of lymphoid antigens (CD2, CD7 and CD19) and clinical signs related to the disease. CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that the detection of MDR phenotype by flow cytometry can be a molecular marker for prognosis independent patients diagnosed with AML.

This work presents the production and functional application results of phenolic extracts obtained by solid substrate cultivation of pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) and guava (Psidium guajava L.) residues associated to soy flour and bioprocessed by Rhizopus oligosporus fungus. Two experimental groups were tested: (1) 9g of fruit residue and 1g of soy flour (A9 or G9); (2) 5g of fruit residue and 5g of soy flour (A5 or G5). After SSC, 100ml of distilled water was added to each Erlenmeyer flask containing 10g of bioprocessed material in order to obtain the phenolic extracts. Samples were taken every two days for total phenolic concentration (TPC) and antioxidant capacity evaluation by DPPH test during 12-day cultivation. The 2-day and 10-d ay extracts were selected and concentrated by ebullition until 1/10 of original volume was reached. After that, both non-concentrated and concentrated extracts were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella enterica and a-amylase inhibitory capacity. It was observed an inverse relationship between total phenolic concentration (TPC) and antioxidant capacity during the cultivation. Besides that, the concentrated pineapple samples after two days were able to inhibit both pathogens tested, especially S. aureus. Guava concentrated extracts after 2 days showed expressive inhibition against S. enterica, but negative results against S. aureus growth. When it comes to a-amylase inhibition, A9 extracts after 2 days, both concentrated or not, completely inhibited enzyme activity. Similar behavior was observed for G9 samples, but only for concentrated samples. It was shown that concentration by ebullition positively affected the enzymatic inhibition of G9 and A9 samples, but on the other side, decreased antiamylase activity of A5 and G5 samples / O cultivo semi-s?lido tem se tornado nos ?ltimos anos uma alternativa eficiente no aproveitamento de res?duos agroindustriais para a produ??o de compostos de alto valor agregado, sobretudo em pa?ses em desenvolvimento.

Dois grupos experimentais foram estudados: (1) 9g de res?duo e 1g de farinha de soja (A9 ou G9); (2) 5g de res?duo e 5g de farinha de soja (A5 ou G5). Ap?s o cultivo semi-s?lido, 100 mL de ?gua destilada foram adicionados a cada frasco Erlenmeyer contendo 10g de material bioprocessado para obten??o dos extratos fen?licos n?o concentrados. Amostras foram tomadas ao longo do cultivo e avaliadas quanto ? concentra??o de fen?licos totais e capacidade antioxidante pelo teste DPPH ao longo de 12 dias de cultivo. Os extratos aquosos obtidos ap?s dois e dez dias de cultivo foram selecionados e concentrados at? redu??o de 1/10 do volume original. Em seguida, tanto os extratos concentrados quanto os n?o-concentrados desses pontos foram submetidos ? avalia??o da atividade antimicrobiana contra Staphylococcus aureus e Salmonella enterica e poder inibit?rio da enzima a-amilase. Durante o cultivo foi observada rela??o inversa entre a produ??o de fen?licos livres e capacidade antioxidante dos extratos. As amostras fen?licas concentradas dos res?duos de abacaxi ap?s dois dias de cultivo apresentaram capacidade de inibir o crescimento dos pat?genos testados, especialmente o S. aureus. Para o res?duo de goiaba, foi observado que os extratos fen?licos concentrados de ambos os grupos experimentais ap?s 2 dias de cultivo demonstraram expressiva inibi??o da Salmonella enterica, por?m, n?o apresentaram resultados positivos contra S. aureus. Quanto ? atividade anti-amilase, os extratos fen?licos do grupo experimental A9 ap?s dois dias de cultivo apresentaram capacidade de inibir completamente a a??o da enzima α-amilase. Comportamento similar foi detectado para as amostras do grupo experimental G9, por?m, apenas para as amostras concentradas. A concentra??o por ebuli??o dos extratos fen?licos nos grupos A9 e G9 favoreceu o aumento da inibi??o enzim?tica. Comportamento diferente foi observado nas amostras dos grupos A5 e G5 que apresentaram baixa atividade anti-amilase, possivelmente influenciada por modifica??es decorrentes da concentra??o por ebuli??o

Anthocyanins are phenolic antioxidants of great importance with health-relevant applications. Several studies have linked the intake of fruits and vegetables with reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases because of its antioxidant properties. This study aimed to compare different strategies for obtaining natural pigments from red jambo (Syzygium malaccence) and analyze its functional potential. Two different strategies were studied: (1) solid-liquid extraction (SLE) in reactor with controlled parameters, (2) powder obtention. The investigation of the functional potential was conducted taking into account the total phenolic content (TPC), the antioxidant activity (AA), the total anthocyanins concentration (TA) and α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition. The best extracts obtained by SLE showed TPC of 174.15 mg GAE/100g, AA of 3.56 μmol Trolox eq/g and TA of 133.59 mg cyd-3-glu/100 g. The best results for the second strategy were TPC of 1024.22 mg GAE/100 g, AA of 29.03 μmol Trolox eq/g and TA of 1193.41 mg cyd-3- glu/100 g. It was observed moderate amylase inhibition (26.30%) and high glucosidase inhibitory activity (97.47%). Skin extracts showed, in general, superior results when compared to whole red jambo, with superior values for dehydrated products. Based on our result, red jambo can be considered as a rich source of phenolic antioxidants, as well on amylase and glucosidase inhibitors / A ind?stria aliment?cia demonstra forte interesse em estudos de extra??o envolvendo produtos naturais. A antocianina ? um fen?lico antioxidante de grande import?ncia e atua??o no organismo dos seres vivos. V?rios estudos relacionam ? ingest?o de frutas e vegetais com a diminui??o do risco e desenvolvimento de doen?as cr?nicodegenerativas em fun??o de suas propriedades antioxidantes. Este trabalho teve como objetivo comparar diferentes estrat?gias de obten??o do corante da casca e do jambo inteiro sem caro?o e analisar seu potencial funcional. Duas diferentes estrat?gias foram estudadas: (1) extra??o s?lido-l?quido em reator enjaquetado com controle de par?metros; (2) obten??o do p?. A investiga??o do potencial funcional foi realizada por meio de an?lises quanto ao teor de compostos fen?licos totais (CFT), a atividade antioxidante (AA), a concentra??o de antocianinas totais (AT) e a inibi??o das enzimas α-amilase e α-glicosidase. Os extratos com os melhores resultados para a estrat?gia 1 foram para CFT de 174,15 mg GAE/100 g, para a AA de 3,56 μmol Trolox eq/g e para AT de 133,59 mg ci-3-gli/100 g. Os melhores valores para a estrat?gia 2 foram para CFT de 1024,22 mg GAE/100 g, para AA de 29,03 μmol Trolox eq/g e para AT de 1193,41 mg ci-3-gli/100 g. A a??o inibit?ria das enzimas α-amilase (26,30%) e α-glicosidase (97,47%) mostraram-se potentes. Os extratos da casca apresentaram, de maneira geral, resultados superiores quando comparados aos valores dos extratos do jambo inteiro e as maiores quantifica??es foram obtidas dos produtos desidratados. As amostras analisadas exibiram fontes satisfat?rias de fen?licos antoci?nicos, com potente capacidade antioxidante e atividade inibit?ria das enzimas α-amilase e α-glicosidase
