    Abstract This study tested the hypothesis that cocoa monoculture (MS) and cocoa-açai agroforestry systems (AFS) may influence the microbial community structure and populations of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPR). Accordingly, the aim was to analyze the microbial community structure and PGPR populations in different agroecosystems in the Brazilian Amazon. To achieve this, the rhizosphere microbial community of cocoa and açai plants in both Amazonian seasons (dry and rainy) was analyzed using culture-dependent (PGPR screening) and -independent methods [PCR-DGGE based on

    Abstract Agaricomycetes are highlighted for producing a variety of compounds and enzymes with nutritional and medicinal properties. However, the knowledge of the diversity of this group of fungi is still insufficient, as well as their biological and enzymatic activities. Thus, the objective of this work is to describe the occurrence, biological and enzymatic activities of Agaricomycetes from the Brazilian Amazon. The present study is a systematic review with the literature search done in the following databases: Scielo, Google Scholar, PubMed and ScienceDirect. The descriptors used were Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes, mushroom, antimicrobial activity, antitumor activity, antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory activity, immunomodulator, enzymatic activity, and Brazilian Amazon. We used as inclusion criteria articles in Portuguese and English, published between 2010 and 2021 and that had the full text available and presented relevance to the exposed topic, and as exclusion criteria, works not done in the Brazilian Amazon, duplicate articles in the databases search or outside the topic under study. A total of 40 articles, published between 2010 and 2021, were selected for analysis. 230 species of Agaricomycetes fungi were described for the Brazilian Amazon, with the most frequent orders being Polyporales (52.60%), Agaricales (14.35%), and Hymenochaetales (13.91%). Six studies were found on antimicrobial activity for promising Agaricomycete fungi against the bacteria Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and the fungi Candida albicans, C. parapsilosis and C. tropicalis. For the antioxidant activity, a study described the species Lentinus citrinus with high amounts of antioxidant compounds. For enzymatic activity, five studies reported Agaricomycete fungi producing protease, cellulase, amylase, pectinase, laccase, and xylanase enzymes. This review shows the scarcity of studies on the description and technological potential of Agaricomycetes from the Brazilian Amazon, highlighting the need to encourage the study of this group of organisms.

    Abstract Objetivo: descrever como as crianças percebem o tratamento quimioterápico e sua internação neste período. Método: estudo descritivo exploratório, de abordagem qualitativa, realizado com seis crianças em tratamento quimioterápico internadas em unidade hemato-oncológica de um hospital-ensino, localizado na região central do Rio Grande do Sul. Realizaram-se entrevistas individualizadas, gravadas em mídia digital e transcritas na íntegra. As entrevistas foram submetidas à análise temática. Resultados: identificaram-se três categorias temáticas: percepções da criança quanto ao tratamento quimioterápico; principais desafios apontados durante a internação pela criança em tratamento quimioterápico; ludicidade como aliada no enfrentamento da internação para quimioterapia em crianças. Conclusão: considera-se que a criança internada em tratamento quimioterápico tem conhecimento da importância da terapêutica para a cura da doença. A importância da ludicidade e do brincar nas hospitalizações também foram ratificadas no estudo, visto que estas apresentam-se como estratégias de enfrentamento do processo de adoecimento por parte da criança internada em tratamento oncológico.

    Abstract Microcystin (MC) is most common cyanobacterial toxin. Few studies have evaluated the MC effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and metabolic function. In this study, we assessed whether MC exposure results in HPG axis and metabolic changes. Female rats were exposed to a single dose of MC at environmentally relevant levels (5, 20 and 40 μg/kg). After 24 h, we evaluated reproductive and metabolic parameters for 15 days. MC reduced the hypothalamic GnRH protein expression, increased the pituitary protein expression of GnRHr and IL-6. MC reduced LH levels and increased FSH levels. MC reduced the primary follicles, increased the corpora lutea, elevated levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and progesterone, and decreased estrogen levels. MC increased ovarian VEGFr, LHr, AMH, ED1, IL-6 and Gp91-phox protein expression. MC increased uterine area and reduced endometrial gland number. A blunted estrogen-negative feedback was observed in MC rats after ovariectomy, with no changes in LH levels compared to intact MC rats. Therefore, these data suggest that a MC leads to abnormal HPG axis function in female rats.

    Abstract In semi-arid regions, where seasonal drought or irregular rainfall distribution are common occurrences, agricultural management techniques or strategies, such as the use of bone meal and/or hydrogel, can mitigate adverse conditions and ensure crop production. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of bone meal doses (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1,000 g pit-1), in association or not with hydrogel (0 and 5 g pit-1, respectively), on the leaf nutrient content of the dwarf cashew cultivar BRS 226. The leaf nutrient contents were evaluated during two growing seasons. For being a good source of macronutrients, the bone meal increased the levels of N, P, Ca, K and Mg in the dwarf cashew leaves. The leaf contents of the micronutrients Zn, Fe and Mn decreased with increasing bone meal doses. The nutrient accumulation in the leaves of the dwarf cashew planted in pits with bone meal and hydrogel has the following order: N > K > Ca > Mg > P > Mn > Fe > Zn > Cu. The application of bone meal at levels close to 600 g pit-1, mainly with the use of hydrogel, is a viable fertilizer alternative for dwarf cashew.

    Abstract Tributyltin (TBT) is the chemical substance commonly used worldwide to prevent biofouling of vessels. Due to its ability to bioaccumulate and biomagnify, even after being banned, significant concentrations of TBT can be detected in sediment, affecting marine and human life. Although studies have shown that direct exposure to TBT alters physiological parameters in mammals, the relationship between exposure to TBT during pregnancy and lactation, considered critical windows for metabolic programming, has not been fully elucidated. Our hypothesis is that offspring whose mothers were exposed to TBT during critical stages of development may exhibit dysfunctions in endocrine-metabolic parameters. We used pregnant Wistar rats that were divided into groups and received the following treatments from gestational day 7 until the end of lactation by intragastric gavage: vehicle (ethanol 0.01%; Control), low TBT dose (100 ng/kg of body weight (bw)/day; TBT100ng) and high TBT dose (1000 ng/kg bw/day; TBT1000ng). Dams and offspring at birth and weaning (21 days old) were studied. Maternal exposure to TBT promoted dose-dependent changes in dams. The findings for adiposity, milk composition and lipid profile were more pronounced in TBT100ng dams; however, thyroid morphology was altered in TBT1000ng dams. Female offspring were differentially affected by the dose of exposure. At birth, females in the TBT100ng group had low body weight, lower naso-anal length (NAL), and higher plasma T4, and at weaning, females in the TBT100ng group had lower insulin and leptin levels. Females in the TBT1000ng group had lower NAL at birth and lower leptinemia and weight of white adipose tissue at weaning. Male offspring from TBT groups showed high T3 at birth, without biometric alterations at birth or weaning. Despite these findings, both sexes exhibited dose-dependent morphological changes in the thyroid gland. Thus, maternal exposure to TBT constitutes an important route of contamination for both dams and offspring.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune enteropathy triggered by gluten. The purpose of this review is to examine the major genetic and environmental factors that contribute to CD pathogenesis.
    Recent findings: We reviewed the current state of knowledge on the genetic and environmental components that play a role in CD onset. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis has highlighted several genes other than HLA involved in CD. Recent studies have shown that HLA haplotype influences the microbiome composition in infants and that dysbiosis in the intestinal microflora, in turn, contributes to loss of tolerance to gluten. Recently, observational studies have discussed the hypothesis stating that breast-feeding had a protective role against CD onset. CD etiology is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. A better understanding of these components would deepen our knowledge on the mechanisms that lead to loss of tolerance and could help in developing a more "personalized medicine."
