Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito cr?nico do tabagismo no perfil inflamat?rio, estresse oxidativo, fun??o muscular esquel?tica perif?rica e aptid?o cardiorrespirat?ria de homens adultos assintom?ticos. Os sujeitos do estudo foram divididos igualmente entre o grupo fumante (GF, n= 20) e grupo controle (GC, n= 20), composto por sujeitos n?o fumantes. A fun??o pulmonar de todos participantes foi avaliada pela espirometria. O perfil inflamat?rio foi avaliado pela mensura??o das concentra??es plasm?ticas das citocinas IL-6, TNF-?, IL-10 e pelos receptores sol?veis de TNF-? (sTNFR1 e sTNFR2). O estresse oxidativo foi avaliado pela mensura??o das concentra??es plasm?ticas das subst?ncias reativas ao ?cido tiobarbit?rico (TBARS), da atividade das enzimas antioxidantes super?xido dismutase (SOD) e catalase de eritr?citos e pela capacidade antioxidante total do plasma. A fun??o muscular esquel?tica perif?rica foi avaliada por meio das medidas de pico de torque dos m?sculos extensores e flexores de joelho e da resist?ncia e fadiga muscular dos m?sculos extensores de joelho; e a aptid?o cardiorrespirat?ria foi avaliada atrav?s da mensura??o do consumo pico de oxig?nio (VO2pico), frequ?ncia card?aca m?xima (FCmax) e dist?ncia caminhada em um teste m?ximo de caminhada/corrida. Sujeitos do GF apresentaram aumentos significativos das concentra??es plasm?ticas de TBARS e do receptor sol?vel sTNFR1 e diminui??es significativas da atividade da enzima catalase em lisado eritrocit?rio, comparados ao GC. Al?m disso, sujeitos do GF exibiram menor resist?ncia muscular dos m?sculos extensores de joelho como determinado pelas medidas de trabalho, com inalterado ?ndice de fadiga dos m?sculos extensores de joelho e pico de torque dos m?sculos extensores e flexores de joelho. A aptid?o cardiorrespirat?ria foi similar entre os sujeitos do GF e do GC. Este estudo demonstrou que homens fumantes cr?nicos e assintom?ticos exibiram altera??es no perfil inflamat?rio, no estresse oxidativo e na fun??o muscular esquel?tica perif?rica, quando comparados a n?o fumantes. / The effect of chronic cigarette smoking on inflammatory profile, oxidative stress and physical performance has been investigated in asymptomatic smokers, however, these studies are few and divergent. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the chronic effect of smoking on inflammatory profile, oxidative stress, peripheral skeletal muscle function and cardiorespiratory fitness in asymptomatic adult men. The subjects of the study were divided equally between the smoking group (SG, n = 20) and control group (CG, n = 20) composed of non-smoking subjects. The lung function of all participants was assessed by spirometry. The inflammatory response was assessed by measurement of plasma concentrations of IL- 6, TNF- ?, IL -10 and soluble receptors for TNF-? (sTNFR1 and sTNFR2). Oxidative stress was evaluated by measuring plasma concentrations of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), the activity of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase in erythrocytes and the total antioxidant capacity of plasma. The peripheral skeletal muscle function was assessed by measuring the peak torque of the extensor and flexor muscles of the knee; and resistance and muscle fatigue of the knee extensor muscles; and cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed by measurement of peak uptake oxygen (VO2peak), maximum heart rate (HRmax) and distance walked on a maximum test of the walk/run. SG subjects showed significant increases in plasma concentrations of TBARS and soluble receptors sTNFR1 and significant decreases in erythrocyte catalase enzyme activity, compared to the CG. In addition, SG subjects exhibited less muscle strength of knee extensors muscles as determined by measures of work and unchanged fatigue index of the knee extensors muscles and peak torque of knee extensors and flexors muscles. Cardiorespiratory fitness was similar between subjects SG and CG. This study demonstrated that male chronic smokers, healthy adult, exhibited changes in the inflammatory response, oxidative stress and peripheral skeletal muscle function, when compared to non-smokers. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ?

Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais (FAPEMIG) / Introdu??o: A Distrofia Muscular de Duchenne (DMD) ? marcada pela falta da distrofina, e sua aus?ncia leva a altera??es mec?nicas da fibra muscular, resultando num processo de necrose muscular e altera??es histol?gicas. O treinamento f?sico de baixa intensidade vem sendo empregado como forma de retardar a progress?o da DMD, entretanto, ainda n?o se sabe os par?metros ben?ficos ao m?sculo distr?fico. Assim, objetivou-se elucidar os efeitos do exerc?cio terap?utico de baixa intensidade em esteira no m?sculo esquel?tico distr?fico do modelo mdx nos par?metros morfol?gicos, na morfometria dos marcadores de les?o muscular, da fibrose musclar e na constitui??o da matriz extracelular pelos col?genos tipo I e III. Metodologia: Foram estudados tr?s grupos: camundongos mdx exerc?cio (mdxE), mdx sedent?rio (mdxC) e controle saud?veis (Cc) (n=8/grupo). O grupo mdxE foi estimulado a correr em esteira horizontal motorizada para ratos, em baixa intensidade, 9m/min por 30 minutos/dia, 3 vezes/semana, por 8 semanas. Ap?s o protocolo de exerc?cio foi realizada a eutan?sia dos animais e coletado o m?sculo gastrocn?mio. Foi realizada a colora??o Hematoxilina-Eosina para an?lise dos marcadores de les?o muscular: N?cleo Central e Di?metro M?nimo de Feret; a rea??o de Picrossirius red para an?lise das fibras col?genas na fibrose muscular e a imuno-localiza??o das fibras col?genas tipo I e III. Resultados: Foram observadas altera??es histol?gicas distr?ficas caracter?sticas nos grupos mdxE e mdxC e feixes de fibras col?genas espessas no grupo mdxC. A imuno-histoqu?mica revelou presen?a de col?geno do tipo I principalmente no grupo mdxC. N?o houve diferen?a significativa entre os grupos mdxE e mdxC para fibras com n?cleo central e coeficiente de varia??o do Di?metro m?nimo de Feret. O grupo mdxE n?o apresentou diferen?a significativa em rela??o ao Cc para a porcentagem da ?rea de fibras col?genas na fibrose muscular. Conclus?es: O treino de baixa intensidade reduz a deposi??o de fibras col?genas na fibrose muscular, com fibras delgadas do col?geno tipo I e n?o altera os marcadores de les?o muscular. / Disserta??o (Mestrado Profissional) ?

Physical training of low intensity has been used to delay the progression of DMD, however, parameters of the dystrophic muscle are not yet known. The objective of this study was to elucidate the effects of a treadmill low intensity exercise on morphology, morphometric parameters of the muscle injury markers and the composition of the extracellular matrix by type I and III collagens of the dystrophic skeletal muscle of the mdx model. Methods: Three groups were studied: exercised mdx (mdxE), sedentary mdx (mdxC) and healthy controls (Cc) (n =8/group). The mdxE group was stimulated to run on a motorized horizontal treadmill for rats, with a low intensity (9 m/min for 30 minutes/day, 3 times/week) for 8 weeks. After the exercise protocol, the animals were euthanized and the gastrocnemius muscle was collected. Hematoxylin-Eosin staining was performed for analysis of muscle injury markers, Central Nucleus and Minimum Diameter of Feret, Picrossirius red reaction for analysis of collagen fibers in muscle fibrosis and immuno-localization of type I and III collagen fibers. Results: Dystrophic histopathological changes were observed in the mdxE and mdxC groups and thicker collagen fiber bundles in the mdxC group. Immunohistochemistry revealed the presence of type I collagen mainly in the mdxC group. There was no significant difference between the mdxE and mdxC groups for fibers with centrally located nuclei and coefficient of variation of the Minimum Feret Diameter. The mdxE group showed no significant difference in relation to Cc for the percentage of the area of collagen fibers in muscle fibrosis. Conclusions: The low intensity training reduced the deposition of collagen fibers in muscle fibrosis with thin fibers of type I collagen and did not alter the markers of muscle injury.

The assessment was made by physiotherapists with extensive or little clinical experience in non-institutionalized elderly individuals. Participants comprised 12 elderly subjects (10 women and 2 men) with mean ages of 75.8 ? 8.4 years (range = 63-87) and 18 physiotherapists with varying clinical experience. Inter-examiner reliability obtained for each scale item yielded weighted kappa value > 0.75 in 11 of the 14 items (varying from 0.37 to 1.0). The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) for the total sum of BBS scores between the two groups of physiotherapists was 0.996 (95% confidence interval, 0.987 0.999) with a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.996. We found no difference between the rater groups when we compared the sum score means obtained with the student s T-test (p = 0.86). Although some items had low reliability values, in general our results suggest that the Brazilian Version of the BBS showed good levels of interrater reliability and agreement when used by physiotherapists with different clinical practice levels and without previous training on non-institutionalized elderly patients. We concluded that the BBS can be useful as an important evaluation instrument on a protocol for Rehabilitation clinics. It may be used by various health professionals, as: Physicians, Physical therapists, Physical educators, Occupational therapists, Nurses and Phonoaudiologists, so confirming the interdisciplinary character of this study / O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar a confiabilidade interobservador da Vers?o Brasileira da Escala do Equil?brio de Berg (EEB), entre fisioterapeutas com extensa e escassa pr?tica cl?nica em uma popula??o idosa n?o-institucionalizada. Participaram do estudo 12 idosos (10 mulheres e 2 homens), com m?dia de idade de 75,8 anos ? 8,39 (varia??o de 63-87) e 18 fisioterapeutas com diferentes n?veis de experi?ncia cl?nica. A confiabilidade interexaminador obtida em cada item da escala, apresentou um valor de Kappa ponderado (Kw) de > 0,75 em 11 dos 14 itens (varia??o de 0,37 a 1,0). O coeficiente de correla??o intraclasses (ICC) da soma da pontua??o total da EEB entre os dois grupos de fisioterapeutas foi de 0,996 (IC 95%, 0,987 - 0,999) e com o coeficiente de Cronbach de 0,996. N?o encontramos diferen?as entre os grupos de avaliadores quando comparadas as m?dias da pontua??o total obtida por meio do teste T-student (p=0,86). Embora alguns itens tenham apresentado baixos valores de confiabilidade, em geral nossos resultados sugerem que a Vers?o Brasileira da EEB apresenta bons n?veis de confiabilidade interobservador quando utilizada por fisioterapeutas com diferentes n?veis de pr?tica cl?nica e sem treinamento pr?vio em idosos que vivem na comunidade. Conclu?mos que a EEB pode servir como um importante instrumento de avalia??o dentro de um protocolo sistematizado para servi?os de Reabilita??o, onde sua utiliza??o pode ser realizada por diferentes profissionais de sa?de, tais como: M?dicos, Fisioterapeutas, Educadores f?sicos, Terapeutas ocupacionais, Enfermeiros e Fonoaudi?logos, confirmando assim o car?ter interdisciplinar dessa pesquisa
