CYTOTOXICITY AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF GEOPOPOLIS EXTRACT FROM THE STINGLESS BEE (Melipona scutellaris) IN CLINICAL ISOLATES OF Staphylococcus aureus
Chem Biodivers. 2024 Apr 12:e202301982. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.202301982. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis work aims to evaluate the biological activities of the EEGP, in order to contribute with a natural therapeutic alternative, to face infections. The EEGP MIC tests showed antibacterial activity against two strains of S. aureus (LPM 63 and LPM 86), both at concentrations of 550 µg/mL. The MBC performed with the inhibition values showed that the EEGP has bacteriostatic activity in both strains. Biofilm inhibition rates exhibited an average value greater than 65% at the highest concentration. The EEGP antioxidant potential ...

Mercury distribution, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification in riparian ecosystems from a Neotropical savanna floodplain, Araguaia River, Central Brazil
Environ Res. 2024 Apr 10:118906. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118906. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLitterfall is the main source of dry deposition of mercury (Hg) into the soil in forest ecosystems. The accumulation of Hg in soil and litter suggests the possibility of transfer to terrestrial vertebrates through environmental exposure or ingestion of plant tissues. We quantified total mercury (THg) concentrations in two soil layers (organic: 0 - 0.2 m; mineral: 0.8 - 1 m), litter, fresh leaves, and terrestrial invertebrates of the Araguaia River floodplain, aiming to evaluate the THg distribution among terrestrial compartmen...

Re: Epidemiology of giant cell arteritis in Waikato, Aotearoa New Zealand
N Z Med J. 2024 Apr 12;137(1593):93-95. doi: 10.26635/6965.6568.ABSTRACTThe interest in epidemiological data on giant cell arteritis (GCA) increased both in New Zealand and in Latin America, resulting in updated articles like those here commented. Of more relevance are two very recent contributions by van Dantzig et al. with novel conclusive findings from their evaluations on GCA performed in the region of Waikato. The authors emphasised that the diagnosis of GCA remained stable in this region from 2014 to 2022, being uncommon among Māori, Pacific peoples and Asian ethnic groups. Short comments on some literature data fro...

Type 1 Diabetes Brazilian patients exhibit reduced frequency of recent thymic emigrants in regulatory CD4 < sup > + < /sup > CD25 < sup > + < /sup > Foxp3 < sup > + < /sup > T cells
Immunol Lett. 2024 Apr 9:106857. doi: 10.1016/j.imlet.2024.106857. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo control immune responses, regulatory CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells (Treg) maintain their wide and diverse repertoire through continuous arrival of recent thymic emigrants (RTE). However, during puberty, the activity of RTE starts to decline as a natural process of thymic involution, introducing consequences, not completely described, to the repertoire. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients show quantitative and qualitative impairments on the Treg cells. Our aim was to evaluate peripheral Treg and RTE cell frequencies, in T1D patients fro...
