Hiperglicemia por sepsis: del mecanismo a la clínica

Rev. méd. Chile; 146 (4), 2018
Stress hyperglycemia is frequently diagnosed in septic patients in critical care units (ICU) and it is associated with greater illness severity and higher morbimortality rates. In response to an acute injury, high levels of counterregulatory hormones such as glucocorticoids and catecholamines are release...

Glucose level evaluation in monopedicled rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap after venous occlusion: experimental study in rats

Rev. Col. Bras. Cir; 45 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: to validate an experimental model for the measurement of glycemic levels in surgical flaps with the use of common glucometers, and to analyze the diagnostic criteria for hypoperfusion of such flaps. Methods: we performed vertical myocutaneous rectus abdominis flaps with upper pedicl...

Effect of ultraviolet radiation on physiological and biochemical properties of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae during fermentation of ultradispersed starch raw material

Background: Study of correlation between pretreatment of yeast with ultraviolet radiation and efficiency of further fermentation of wort made of ultrafine grain particles to ethanol. Results: We investigated three races of industrial yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (native and irradiated by ultraviolet). ...

Chemical pretreatment of Arundo donax L. for second-generation ethanol production

Background: Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass is essential for using it as a raw material for chemical and biofuel production. This study evaluates the effects of variables in the chemical pretreatment of the Arundo biomass on the glucose and xylose concentrations in the final enzymatic hydrolysate...

Biochemical parameters of the giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla Linnaeus, 1758) of the Brazilian Cerrado

Pesqui. vet. bras; 38 (1), 2018
The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) is classified as a vulnerable species on Brazil’s list of species at risk of extinction mainly due to deforestation and forest fires. This has contributed to a considerable increase in detailed clinical case records of the treatment of wild species at veteri...

Bioacessibilidade dos polifenóis do jatobá-do-cerrado (Hymenaea Stigonocarpa Mart. ) e seus efeitos em genes relacionados à absorção de glicose em células Caco-2

Introdução: O diabetes mellitus (DM) está associado a complicações que comprometem a qualidade de vida e a sobrevida dos indivíduos. Além disso, acarreta elevados custos para o controle metabólico e o tratamento de suas complicações, sendo assim caracterizado como um problema de saúde pública...

Relação entre ingestão de vitamina K, gordura corporal, perfil lipídico e homeostase da glicose em adultos e idosos

Introdução: Especula-se que exista uma possível relação entre a ingestão de vitamina K e a diminuição da gordura corporal. Além disso, embora os resultados permaneçam controversos, há um número crescente de estudos que apoiam um papel chave dessa vitamina na melhora do perfil lipídico, da se...

Comparative proteomic analyses of Hyphozyma roseonigra ATCC 20624 in response to sclareol

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
Abstract Sclareol is an important intermediate for ambroxide synthesis industries. Hyphozyma roseonigra ATCC 20624 was the only reported strain capable of degrading sclareol to the main product of sclareol glycol, which is the precursor of ambroxide. To date, knowledge is lacking about the effects of scl...

Protective roles of autophagy in retinal pigment epithelium under high glucose condition via regulating PINK1/Parkin pathway and BNIP3L

Biol. Res; 51 (), 2018
BACKGROUND: Our study aimed to investigate the roles of autophagy against high glucose induced response in retinal pigment epithelium (ARPE-19 cells). METHODS: The morphological changes and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in ARPE-19 cells under high glucose treatment were respectively detected u...

Safety and efficacy of regional citrate anticoagulation in continuous blood purification treatment of patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (1), 2018
The aim of this study was to discuss the safety and efficacy of regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) on continuous blood purification (CBP) during the treatment of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Thirty-five patients with MODS were divided into two groups: the local citrate anticoagulation ...
