2. Production and quality of Sweet Grape tomato in response to foliar calcium fertilization
ABSTRACT In tomato, foliar application of calcium-based nutrient solutions is used to complement soil fertilization. However, knowledge regarding the factors that influence the effectiveness of foliar fertilizer applications remains incomplete. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency foliar fertilization with calcium for improving producti

3. REPLY TO “DO LINGUISTIC MEANINGS MEET LINGUISTIC FORM?”
Abstract In reply to the claim that syntax is not taken into account in Linguistic Meaning Meets Linguistic Form, I show that local syntactic analysis has been implemented in the treatment of aspectual verbs and verbs of positive and negative recall, where the syntactic function of the -ing form as direct object of the main verb is put into relation with the

4. Anti-complement activity in salivary glands and midgut of Chagas disease vector, Panstrongylus megistus (Hemiptera, Triatominae)
ABSTRACT The triatomine insect Panstrongylus megistus , one of the most important Chagas disease vectors in Brazil, presents salivary molecules pharmacologically active to counteract homeostatic responses from the host, including inhibitors of the human complement system, a major effector of immune responses. The aim of the present study was to investigate t

5. Ca2+/Calmodulin-dependent kinase II delta B is essential for cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and complement gene expression after LPS and HSP60 stimulation in vitro
Inflammation plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), suggesting that the immune system is a target of therapeutic interventions used for treating CVDs. This study evaluated mechanisms underlying inflammatory response and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy associated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- or heat shock protein 6

6. Textual Artifact of Advertising: A Thrust of Halliday’s Mood System Resources
RESUMO Este artigo argumenta que a publicidade contém uma variedade de textos que terminologias teóricas são capazes de exemplificar. Assim, dez propagandas de bebidas, entre outros tipos, foram escolhidas para análise. Os recursos de mudança de tom de Halliday decompuseram os textos em componentes significativos, que posteriormente foram tabulados com

7. Small Molecules: Substrate Inhibitors, Chaperones, Stop-Codon Read Through, and Beyond
Abstract Lysosomal storage disorders are rare genetic disorders due to deficient lysosomal activity, which leads to progressive accumulation of nonmetabolized substrates. Patient’s clinical outcomes have significantly improved since the advent of enzyme replacement therapy, even though this therapeutic approach presents important limitations, such as immun

8. Mannose-Binding Lectin 2 (MBL2) combined genotypes deficiency is associated with susceptibility for Oral Lichen Planus
Abstract Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is an oral inflammatory condition, mediated by host immune system reaction, presenting basal membrane damages with inflammatory lesions in the mouth and/or skin. In this study, the role of functional polymorphisms in the MBL2 gene, encoding for Mannose-Binding Protein C (MBP-C), a member of the innate immune response and an

9. What are the advantages of living in a community? A microbial biofilm perspective!
Biofilm formation is the preferred mode of growth lifestyle for many microorganisms, including bacterial and fungal human pathogens. Biofilm is a strong and dynamic structure that confers a broad range of advantages to its members, such as adhesion/cohesion capabilities, mechanical properties, nutritional sources, metabolite exchange platform, cellular commu

10. Quality of horse F(ab′)2 antitoxins and antirabies immunoglobulins: protein content and anticomplementary activity
Abstract Background Among other applications, immunotherapy is used for the post-exposure treatment and/or prophylaxis of important infectious diseases, such as botulism, diphtheria, tetanus and rabies. The effectiveness of serum therapy is widely proven, but improvements on the immunoglobulin purification process and on the quality control are necessary to

11. Melanin particles isolated from the fungus Fonsecaea pedrosoi activates the human complement system
BACKGROUND Melanin production has been associated with virulence in various pathogenic fungi, including Fonsecaea pedrosoi, the major etiological agent for chromoblastomycosis, a subcutaneous fungal disease that occurs in South America. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of acid-basic extracted F. pedrosoi melanin particles and fun

12. Complement system contributes to modulate the infectivity of susceptible TcI strains of Trypanosoma cruzi
BACKGROUND Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan parasite and an etiological agent of Chagas disease. There is a wide variability in the clinical outcome of its infection, ranging from asymptomatic individuals to those with chronic fatal mega syndromes. Both parasite and host factors, as well as their interplay, are thought to be involved in the process. OBJECT
