Odontophrynus cultripes
Reinhardt and Lutken, 1862 has 22 chromosomes in its diploid complement. Spermatocyte I contained 11 ring bivalents and metaphase II exhibited 11 chromosomes. Odontophrynus americanus (Duméril and Bibron) 1882 has 44 chromosomes in somatic as well as germ cells, these can be sorted into 11 groups of homologues. Metaphase I showed varying numbers of quadrivalents and metaphase II exhibited 22 dyads. Ceratophrys dorsata
Wied., 1824 has 104 chromosomes in somatic and germ cells; these 104 chromosomes comprise 8 each of 13 kinds of homologues. The spermatocyte I contained ring octovalents and other multivalents, and metaphase II 52 chromosomes. The above findings indicate that evolution by polyploidization occurred in South American frogs belonging to the family Ceratophrydidae.This work was supported by a grant (GM-14577-01) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences U.

Background
Human visceral leishmaniasis (VL), a potentially fatal disease, has emerged as an important opportunistic condition in HIV infected patients. In immunocompromised patients, serological investigation is considered not an accurate diagnostic method for VL diagnosis and molecular techniques seem especially promising.Objective
This work is a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the accuracy of serologic and molecular tests for VL diagnosis specifically in HIV-infected patients.Methods
Two independent reviewers searched PubMed and LILACS databases. The quality of studies was assessed by QUADAS score. Sensitivity and specificity were pooled separately and compared with overall accuracy measures: diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and symmetric summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC).Results
Thirty three studies recruiting 1,489 patients were included. The following tests were evaluated: Immunofluorescence Antibody Test (IFAT), Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunoblotting (Blot), direct agglutination test (DAT) and polimerase chain reaction (PCR) in whole blood and bone marrow. Most studies were carried out in Europe. Serological tests varied widely in performance, but with overall limited sensitivity. IFAT had poor sensitivity ranging from 11% to 82%. DOR (95% confidence interval) was higher for DAT 36.01 (9.95–130.29) and Blot 27.51 (9.27–81.66) than for IFAT 7.43 (3.08–1791) and ELISA 3.06 (0.71–13.10). PCR in whole blood had the highest DOR: 400.35 (58.47–2741.42). The accuracy of PCR based on Q-point was 0.95; 95%CI 0.92–0.97, which means good overall performance.Conclusion
Based mainly on evidence gained by infection with Leishmania infantum chagasi, serological tests should not be used to rule out a diagnosis of VL among the HIV-infected, but a positive test at even low titers has diagnostic value when combined with the clinical case definition. Considering the available evidence, tests based on DNA detection are highly sensitive and may contribute to a diagnostic workup. 相似文献53.

One hundred three Basidiomycota fungi representing 84 species and 17 families were collected from different Atlantic Rainforest
in Brazil. Their basidiomes and fermentation broth extracts were screened in a bioassay panel that included three human cancer
cells lines, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), the enzyme trypanothione reductase (TryR) from Trypanosoma cruzi, and amastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis. Forty-two extracts representing 21 genera and 35 species presented activities higher than 60% in one or more assays employed
in this study. Eighteen extracts were toxic to one or more human cancer cell lines. Extracts from Lentinus
strigosus CCB 178 and Lentinus sp. UFMGCB 38 showed selectivity towards cancer cells as they showed only a minor impact on PBMCs. Six extracts suppressed
PBMCs proliferation and showed low toxic effect to cancer cells. Thirty-four extracts inhibited the activity of the TryR.
Of these, five showed low toxicity towards PBMCs. Extracts from Gymnopilus areolatus, Irpex lacteus, L.
strigosus, Nothopanus hygrophanus, Pleurotus flabellatus, and unidentified Basidiomycetes were toxic to L. amazonensis. The results of this screening reinforce the potential of Basidiomycota fungi as sources of bioactive natural products that
may be developed into new therapeutic agents for cancer and neglected diseases such as trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis. 相似文献

Social participation, as far as children and youth are concerned, stands as one of the rights of children formalized by the
Convention on the Rights of the Child. The present work is an attempt to contribute to the discussion on the ways whereby
this right can be implemented, by raising the issue that children and youth constructively interpret social differences as
a main feature of cities by providing explanations of social inequalities and their remedial mechanisms. Three case studies
based on an action research invervention in three different institutions are presented. The analysis of focal group discussions
with children and youth highlight their perspectives about life in the city: the city that they lived in and the city as they
would like it to be demonstrating how children's and youth's views can provide a deep and critical understanding of their
own society and the ways to change it. 相似文献

As Schistosoma sp. control programs are chiefly based on treatment of infected population, adequate case finding has a crucial role. The available diagnostic methods are far from ideal, since the search for eggs in stools and the detection of circulating antigens lack sensitivity in low prevalence and post-treatment situations and antibody detection lacks specificity. In most endemic foci, repeated treatment of infected people leaves a number of non-diagnosed and consequently non-treated persons, enough to maintain a persistent residue of 5 to 10% prevalence. In an attempt to surpass these diagnostic limitations we have developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection of Schistosoma sp. in feces that, in a first population study, has shown to be more sensitive than three-repeated stool Kato-Katz examination. The PCR may constitute a valuable tool for the diagnosis of the Schistosoma sp. infection in special situations, when high sensitivity and specificity are required and infrastructure is available. 相似文献

Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) is characterized by the early onset of the rapid and progressive destruction of the alveolar bone. We investigated the correlation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes with AgP in the Japanese population in order to determine the genetic risk factors for this complex disease. Among 11 genes related to bone formation and resorption, 43 known SNPs were tested in 98 case and 88 control samples for association with AgP by using SNP genotyping techniques. Among these, three polymorphisms located in the colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) gene showed a positive association with AgP. This is the first case of an association between a CSF1 polymorphism and a human disease. 相似文献

Evolutionary radiations on continents are less well‐understood and appreciated than those occurring on islands. The extent of ecological influence on species divergence can be evaluated to determine whether a radiation was ultimately the outcome of divergent natural selection or else arose mainly by nonecological divergence. Here, we used phylogenetic comparative methods to test distinct hypotheses corresponding to adaptive and nonadaptive evolutionary scenarios for the morphological evolution of sigmodontine rodents. Results showed that ecological variables (diet and life‐mode) explain little of the shape and size variation of sigmodontine skulls and mandibles. A Brownian model with varying rates for insectivory versus all other diets was the most likely evolutionary model. The insectivorous sigmodontines have a faster rate of morphological evolution than mice feeding on other diets, possibly due to stronger selection for features that aid insectivory. We also demonstrate that rapid early‐lineage diversification is not accompanied by high morphological divergence among subclades, contrasting with island results. The geographic size of continents permits spatial segregation to a greater extent than on islands, allowing for allopatric distributions and escape from interspecific competition. We suggest that continental radiations of rodents are likely to produce a pattern of high species diversification coupled with a low degree of phenotypic specialization. 相似文献

Clinical and laboratory risk factors for death from visceral leishmaniasis (VL) are
relatively known, but quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) might
assess the role of parasite load in determining clinical outcome. The aim of this
study was to identify risk factors, including parasite load in peripheral blood, for
VL poor outcome among children. This prospective cohort study evaluated children aged
≤ 12 years old with VL diagnosis at three times: pre-treatment (T0), during treatment
(T1) and post-treatment (T2). Forty-eight patients were included and 16 (33.3%) met
the criteria for poor outcome. Age ≤ 12 months [relative risk (RR) 3.51; 95%
confidence interval (CI) 1.89-6.52], tachydyspnoea (RR 3.46; 95% CI 2.19-5.47),
bacterial infection (RR 3.08; 95% CI 1.27-7.48), liver enlargement (RR 3.00; 95% CI
1.44-6.23) and low serum albumin (RR 7.00; 95% CI 1.80-27.24) were identified as risk
factors. qPCR was positive in all patients at T0 and the parasite DNA was
undetectable in 76.1% of them at T1 and in 90.7% at T2. There was no statistical
association between parasite load at T0 and poor outcome. 相似文献

Objective:To describe the effects of strength exercise practice during pregnancy on the offspring’s development parameters: growth and motor performance, hippocampal neuroplasticity, and stress levels.Methods:Pregnant Wistar rats were divided into two groups: sedentary and exercised rats. Exercised pregnant rats were subjected to a strength training protocol (vertical ladder climbing) throughout the gestational period. Male offspring’s body weight, length, and head size were evaluated during the neonatal period (postnatal days [P]2–P21), as well as motor milestones during P0–P8. At P8, a set of male pups were subjected to global hippocampal DNA methylation, hippocampal cell proliferation, and plasma corticosterone concentration.Results:Offspring from trained mothers presented a transient change in body morphometric evaluations, no differences in milestone assessments, enhancement of cell proliferation in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, and decreased global hippocampal DNA methylation compared with the offspring from sedentary mothers. Furthermore, strength training during pregnancy did not change the corticosterone concentration of exercised mothers and their offspring.Conclusions:These data indicate that strength training can protect offspring’s development and could impact positively on parameters linked to cognitive function. This study provides a greater understanding of the effects of strength exercise practiced during pregnancy on the offspring’s health. 相似文献
