    Abstract This work aims to present a discussion, consequential from a masters degree research, of how the use of Ethnomathematics in continuing education programs for mathematics' teachers implies inthe production osubjectivities. Therefore, two Masters dissertations that studied the Ethnomathematics in teachers educationline were analyzed: one from a private institution and one produced at a publicinstitution,disclosed in theyears 2006 and 2009, respectively, in Porto Alegre-RS. The analysis has focused on investigating, according to Foucault's discourse theories, through the discursive regularities and power/knowledgerelations, how different modes of subjectivity are produced in the researching subjects. By using twoguiding principles of visibility: Ethnomathematics as art and technique to explain and understand within thedifferent cultures andthe relation of it with the teacher`s training and the Ethnomathematics as a mechanism of government, itfollows that the discussions of the analyzed papers operate as governance mechanisms able to qualify and lead conducts, producing this way, unique modes of subjectivity.

    Abstract Molecular and supramolecular design of bioactive biomaterials could have a significant impact on regenerative medicine. Ideal regenerative therapies should be minimally invasive, and thus the notion of self-assembling biomaterials programmed to transform from injectable liquids to solid bioactive structures in tissue is highly attractive for clinical translation. We report here on a coassembly system of peptide amphiphile (PA) molecules designed to form nanofibers for cartilage regeneration by displaying a high density of binding epitopes to transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFbeta-1). Growth factor release studies showed that passive release of TGFbeta-1 was slower from PA gels containing the growth factor binding sites. In vitro experiments indicate these materials support the survival and promote the chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells. We also show that these materials can promote regeneration of articular cartilage in a full thickness chondral defect treated with microfracture in a rabbit model with or even without the addition of exogenous growth factor. These results demonstrate the potential of a completely synthetic bioactive biomaterial as a therapy to promote cartilage regeneration.

    Abstract Resistance to growth hormone, reduced insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) action, and enhanced insulin sensitivity are likely mediators of extended life span and delayed aging process in growth hormone receptor/binding protein knockout (GHR-KO) mice. Fat metabolism and genes involved in fatty acid oxidation are strongly involved in insulin action. Using real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot we have examined expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and retinoid X receptor (RXR) genes in the skeletal muscle of normal and GHR-KO mice subjected to 30% caloric restriction. The results indicate that caloric restriction decreased the expression of PPARgamma, PPARalpha, and PPARbeta/delta which would lead to down-regulation of fat metabolism. This suggested metabolic change clearly does not affect whole-body insulin action. These findings suggest that whole-animal insulin sensitivity is not regulated through skeletal muscle insulin action.

    Abstract Blockade of growth hormone (GH), decreased insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) action and increased insulin sensitivity are associated with life extension and an apparent slowing of the aging process. We examined expression of genes involved in insulin action, IR, IRS1, IRS2, IGF1, IGF1R, GLUT4, PPARs and RXRs in the hearts of normal and GHR-/- (KO) mice fed ad libitum or subjected to 30% caloric restriction (CR). CR increased the cardiac expression of IR, IRS1, IGF1, IGF1R and GLUT4 in normal mice and IRS1, GLUT4, PPARalpha and PPARbeta/delta in GHR-KO animals. Expression of IR, IRS1, IRS2, IGF1, GLUT4, PPARgamma and PPARalpha did not differ between GHR-KO and normal mice. These unexpected results suggest that CR may lead to major modifications of insulin action in the heart, but high insulin sensitivity of GHR-KO mice is not associated with alterations in the levels of most of the examined molecules related to intracellular insulin signaling.

    Abstract Growth hormone receptor/binding protein knockout (GHR-KO) mice live approximately 40% longer than their normal siblings do. These mice have dramatically reduced plasma levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and enhanced insulin sensitivity. We examined the expression level of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and retinoid X receptors family genes in the livers of normal and GHR-KO mice fed ad libitum or subjected to long-term 30% caloric restriction (CR). The levels of PPARgamma and PPARalpha messenger RNA and proteins and the levels of retinoid X receptors messenger RNA were elevated in long-lived GHR-KO mice as compared to normal mice with no major effect of CR in either genotype. These findings suggest that enhanced insulin sensitivity of GHR-KO mice may be related to the altered actions of PPARs family members in the liver. The results also indicate that CR may increase insulin sensitivity through a different mechanism.

    Abstract Growth hormone receptor/binding protein knockout (GHR-KO) mice are characterized by resistance to growth hormone (GH), reduced insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF1) levels and enhanced insulin sensitivity and markedly increased lifespan. Findings in these and other long-lived mutant mice, and in normal animals subjected to caloric restriction (CR) indicate that insulin signaling is importantly involved in the control of longevity. We have examined the mRNA expression level of genes involved in insulin/IGF1 action in the skeletal muscle and liver of normal and GHR-KO mice fed ad libitum or subjected to long term 30% CR. The levels of IR, IRS1, IRS2, GLUT4 and IGF1 message in the skeletal muscle were reduced by CR in both normal and GHR-KO mice. In the liver, the results indicate that in GHR-KO mice mRNA expression of genes related to early steps of insulin signaling is up-regulated in the liver but not in the muscle. The results also show that improved insulin sensitivity in response to CR is not due to increased mRNA expression of the above genes in either normal or GHR-KO animals.

    Abstract Introduction Previous studies demonstrated that the implementation of the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guideline-based bundle, consisting of different supportive measures in patients at high risk for acute kidney injury (AKI), might reduce rate and severity of AKI after surgery. However, the effects of the care bundle in broader population of patients undergoing surgery require confirmation.Methods and analysis The BigpAK-2 trial is an international, randomised, controlled, multicentre trial. The trial aims to enrol 1302 patients undergoing major surgery who are subsequently admitted to the intensive care or high dependency unit and are at high-risk for postoperative AKI as identified by urinary biomarkers (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2*insulin like growth factor binding protein 7 (TIMP-2)*IGFBP7)). Eligible patients will be randomised to receive either standard of care (control) or a KDIGO-based AKI care bundle (intervention). The primary endpoint is the incidence of moderate or severe AKI (stage 2 or 3) within 72 hours after surgery, according to the KDIGO 2012 criteria. Secondary endpoints include adherence to the KDIGO care bundle, occurrence and severity of any stage of AKI, change in biomarker values during 12 hours after initial measurement of (TIMP-2)*(IGFBP7), number of free days of mechanical ventilation and vasopressors, need for renal replacement therapy (RRT), duration of RRT, renal recovery, 30-day and 60-day mortality, intensive care unit length-of-stay and hospital length-of-stay and major adverse kidney events. An add-on study will investigate blood and urine samples from recruited patients for immunological functions and kidney damage.Ethics and dissemination The BigpAK-2 trial was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Medical Faculty of the University of Münster and subsequently by the corresponding Ethics Committee of the participating sites. A study amendment was approved subsequently. In the UK, the trial was adopted as an NIHR portfolio study. Results will ...
