    Abstract Resumo Processos formativos para fortalecer a segurança alimentar e nutricional (SAN) como política são demandas da Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa (CPLP). Objetivamos descrever e analisar práticas educativas desenvolvidas pelos docentes, visando refletir e propor ajustes para aprimorar o processo formativo a distância em SAN no contexto da CPLP. O curso foi composto por alunos do Brasil; Cabo Verde; Moçambique e São Tomé e Príncipe. A pesquisa é aplicada, teve abordagem qualitativa e natureza descritiva e explicativa, empregando videoaulas como materiais de estudo, principalmente, com base na Análise Textual Discursiva. A proposta indica que cursos de mesma natureza requerem da gestão educacional formação docente; reconhecimento do conhecimento dos discentes; inserção de dialogia nas videoaulas; oferecimento de atividades locais capazes de gerar compreensão da realidade; criação de sequência para elaboração do Trabalho de Conclusão (TCC); e desenvolvimento do TCC visando à transformação da realidade.

    Abstract In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and the various subsequent changes and behavioral adjustments necessary in the educational field, two important articles were recently published in Anatomical Sciences Education (Franchi, 2020; Srinivasan, 2020). The first study (Franchi, 2020) reported the impact of the pandemic on human anatomy education in the United Kingdom. This article described from the perspective of a medical student how the lack of practical teaching with cadavers can adversely impact training and lead to losses for students.

    Abstract Background: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), a common disease of the urinary system, can be induced by high doses of gentamicin (GM). The renin-angiotensin system exerts a key role in the progression of the AKI since elevated intrarenal levels of Ang II, and ACE activity is found in this condition. However, it is unknown whether oral administration of angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7), a heptapeptide that evokes opposite effects of Ang II, may attenuate the renal injuries induced by gentamicin.
    Objectives: To evaluate the effects of Ang-(1-7) on GM-induced renal dysfunction in rats.
    Methods: AKI was induced by subcutaneous administration of GM (80 mg/Kg) for 5 days. Simultaneously, Ang-(1-7) included in hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) was administered by gavage [46 μg/kg HPβCD + 30 μg/kg Ang-(1-7)]. At the end of the treatment period (sixth day), the rats were housed in metabolic cages for renal function evaluation. Thereafter, blood and kidney samples were collected.
    Results: Ang-(1-7) attenuated the increase of the plasmatic creatinine and proteinuria caused by GM but did not change the glomerular filtration rate nor tubular necrosis. Ang-(1-7) attenuated the increased urinary flow and the fractional excretion of H2O and potassium observed in GM rats but intensified the elevated excretion of sodium in these animals. Morphological analysis showed that Ang-(1-7) also reduced the tubular vacuolization in kidneys from GM rats.
    Conclusion: Ang-(1-7) promotes selective beneficial effects in renal injuries induced by GM.

    Abstract Ghrelin is a peptide hormone whose effects are mediated by the growth hormone secretagogue receptor subtype 1a (GHS-R1a), mainly expressed in the brain but also in kidneys. The hypothesis herein raised is that GHS-R1a would be player in the renal contribution to the neurogenic hypertension pathophysiology. To investigate GHS-R1a role on renal function and hemodynamics, we used Wistar (WT) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). First, we assessed the effect of systemically injected vehicle, ghrelin, GHS-R1a antagonist PF04628935, ghrelin plus PF04628935 or GHS-R1a synthetic agonist MK-677 in WT and SHR rats housed in metabolic cages (24 h). Blood and urine samples were also analyzed. Then, we assessed the GHS-R1a contribution to the control of renal vasomotion and hemodynamics in WT and SHR. Finally, we assessed the GHS-R1a levels in brain areas, aorta, renal artery, renal cortex and medulla of WT and SHR rats using western blot. We found that ghrelin and MK-677 changed osmolarity parameters of SHR, in a GHS-R1a-dependent manner. GHS-R1a antagonism reduced the urinary Na

    Abstract Objective: The diagnosis of paucibacillary (PB) leprosy cases remains a challenge because of the absence of a confirmatory laboratory method. While quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) has been shown to provide reliable sensitivity and specificity in PB diagnoses, a thorough investigation of its efficacy in clinical practice has not yet been published. The present study evaluated patients with suspected leprosy skin lesions by using qPCR to identify PB individuals in the Leprosy Outpatient clinic at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
    Methods: One hundred seventy-two suspected PB cases were included in the study. The patients were evaluated by a dermatologist at three different times. The clinical dermato-neurological examination and collected samples were performed on the first visit. On the second visit, the results of the histopathological analysis and PCR assay (DNA-based Mycobacterium leprae qPCR-targeting 16S gene) results were analyzed, and a decision regarding multi-drug therapy was made. A year later, the patients were re-examined, and the consensus diagnosis was established.
    Results: In 58% (100/172) of cases, a conclusive diagnosis via histopathological analysis was not possible; however, 30% (30/100) of these cases had a positive PCR. One hundred ten patients (110/172) attended the third visit. The analysis showed that while the sensitivity of the histopathological test was very low (35%), a qPCR alone was more effective for identifying leprosy, with 57% sensitivity.
    Conclusion: The use of qPCR in suspected PB cases with an inconclusive histology improved the sensitivity of leprosy diagnoses.

    Abstract Relevance: Rudgea viburnoides, popularly known as "congonha-de-bugre" or "erva de bugre", is used in folk medicine as hypotensive, blood depurative, anti-rheumatic, diuretic and in the treatment of kidney and bladder pain.
    Aim: Based on the popularly acclaimed nephron-protective effect of R. viburnoides, we investigated, using rats, the protective effect of this plant extract on gentamicin-induced kidney injury.
    Material and methods: Urinary volume, water and food intakes were assessed in adult male Wistar rats (naive or gentamicin-induced model of nephrotoxicity) treated with R. viburnoides extract. Also blood and kidney samples were collected for further laboratory and histological analyses.
    Results: R. viburnoides leaves extract improved renal function. It also improved the renal function impairments caused by gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity, as revealed by glomerular filtration rate, urine output and proteinuria.
    Conclusion: R. viburnoides exert renoprotective effect, which may support its popular use for renal diseases treatment.

    Abstract Analisou-se o perfil epidemiológico, fatores de riscos envolvidos na atividade e QV do trabalhador da construção civil. Pesquisa de delineamento transversal, de caráter epidemiológico, com 71 trabalhadores. Foram aplicados: Questionário Epidemiológico, Critério de Classificação Econômica da ABEP, Questionário de Qualidade de Vida, Perfil do ambiente e condições de trabalho, Índice de Capacidade para o Trabalho, Questionário de Sintomas Osteomusculares e Job Stress Scale. Os resultados foram analisados descritivamente e correlacionados. Houve uma predominância de trabalhadores pardos, média de 36 anos, primeiro grau de escolaridade, sedentários, classe econômica “C”, receberam treinamento, possuíam boa percepção de QV e saúde, boa capacidade para o trabalho e baixo índice de estresse. As variáveis revelaram que a idade está relacionada com a qualidade de vida, capacidade para o trabalho e nível de estresse. Conclui-se que quanto melhor o ambiente e as condições de trabalho melhor será a QV e menor a percepção do estresse.
