Background Few studies of dengue have shown group-level associations between demographic, socioeconomic, or geographic characteristics and the spatial distribution within small urban areas. This study aimed to examine whether specific an slum community were associated with risk disease. Methodology/Principal Findings From 01/2009 12/2010, we conducted enhanced, community-based surveillance in only public emergency unit a Salvador, Brazil identify acute febrile illness (AFI) patients...
Nuclear receptors such as glucocorticoid (GRs) are transcription factors with prominent regulatory effects on neuroinflammation. Agathisflavone is a biflavonoid that demonstrates neurogenic, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pro-myelinogenic in vitro. This study investigated whether the control of glial reactivity by agathisflavone mediated GRs. Primary cultures astrocytes microglia were induced to neuroinflammation lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) exposed or not presence...
Background Diagnosis of leptospirosis by the gold standard serologic assay, microscopic agglutination test (MAT), requires paired sera and is not widely available. We developed a rapid assay using immunodominant Leptospira immunoglobulin-like (Lig) proteins in Dual Path Platform (DPP). This study aimed to evaluate assay's diagnostic performance setting urban transmission. Methodology determined sensitivity 446 acute convalescent from MAT-confirmed case-patients with severe or mild Brazil....
BackgroundOver recent decades, a resurgence of invasive group A streptococcal (GAS) infections has been observed; GAS remains rare cause pyogenic meningitis. We report herein population-based findings long-term surveillance for meningitis in Salvador, Brazil, and estimate the overall burden infections.MethodsFrom February 1996 to 2007 we conducted active state reference hospital infectious diseases Brazil. Data on clinical presentation, laboratory records, outcome were collected through...
Fetal hemoglobin (HbF), encoded by the HBG2 and HBG1 genes, is best-known genetic modulator of sickle cell anemia, varying dramatically in concentration blood these patients. This variation partially associated with polymorphisms located promoter region genes. In order to explore known unknown sequences their regions were screened anemia patients correlated both HbF levels betaS-globin haplotypes. Additionally, compared genes from 2 healthy groups, a reference one (N = 104) an...
Osmopriming of seeds can increase seed vigour, allowing faster germination and field emergence, especially under adverse conditions. The restricted imbibition during priming treatments reactivates metabolism although will be prevented. In order to identify characterize genes that are involved in the improvement vigour Poincianella pyramidalis (Catingueira) upon priming, we produced two different Suppression Subtractive Hybridization (SSH) cDNA libraries. These were a Forward Reverse...
As ligas acadêmicas são organizações estudantis responsáveis por atividades complementares à formação acadêmica dos cursos, aprofundando conhecimentos específicos. Estes estudos aprofundados podem ser compartilhados com a sociedade, corroborando as três finalidades da universidade: ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Dessa forma, Bioinformática surge como uma área interessante para criação de ligas, pois se trata multidisciplinar cujos avanços acessíveis um grande número interessados. Assim, Ligas...
Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) is an important component of the innate immune system and have been associated with several autoimmune diseases, such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). The aim this study was to investigate polymorphisms in TLR9 gene a Brazilian SLE patients group their association clinical manifestation, particularly Jaccoud's arthropathy (JA). We analyzed DNA samples from 204 patients, having subgroup them presenting JA (n=24). A control (n=133) same city also included....
Even though the major benefit of arbuscular mycorrhizae is increased uptake phosphate from soil solution and translocation to plant, changes in activity enzymes involved nitrogen (N) metabolism have been detected mycorrhizal roots. Using differential display reverse-transcripts tobacco roots not-inoculated or inoculated with Glomus intraradices (Gi), we cloned two partial cDNAs (NtGi2 NtGi3). The presence a conserved CobW/HypB/UreG domain phylogenetic analyses suggest that NtGi2 NtGi3 encode...
