1. Study of laser textured and coated cutting tools used in face milling of compacted graphite cast iron / Estudo da caracterização de ferramentas de corte texturizadas a laser e revestidas utilizadas no fresamento frontal de ferro fundido vermicular
The controlled alteration of a surface can improve the performance of a mechanical part. The texture is the digital impression of a surface composed of hills and cavities, normally disordered distributed. When this texture is uniform and regularly distributed on a surface, it can modify significantly the functionality of a component. A technique used to unif

2. Effects of noninvasive ventilation with continuous positive pressure on the airways of oncologic patients / Efeito da ventilação não invasiva com pressão positiva contínua nas vias aéreas de pacientes oncológicos
INTRODUCTION: Respiratory failure is a common situation among cancer patients leading to high rates of mortality. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) can help its management, but its effects are still unknown regarding the pulmonary defense mechanisms. OBJECTIVES: Observe the effect of NIV with facial mask using a flow generator with continuous positive pressure (

3. Avaliação da resposta inflamatória pulmonar e do transporte mucociliar em modelo de inflamação alérgica pulmonar: modulação pelo estresse induzido pela natação forçada / Evaluation of pulmonary inflammatory responses and mucociliary transport in a model of chronic allergic inflammation: modulation by stress induced by forced swimming
Background: It has increasing evidence linking the role of stress in the onset of asthma exacerbation and in the maintenance of asthmatic crises, as well as the importance of mucus production and the mucociliary clearance in the asthma physiopathology. Objectives: So, we consider relevant to evaluate in guinea pigs with pulmonary chronic allergic inflammatio

4. Tissue spreading on implantable substrates is a competitive outcome of cell–cell vs. cell–substratum adhesivity
While the interactions of cells with polymeric substrata are widely studied, the influence of cell–cell cohesivity on tissue spreading has not been rigorously investigated. Here we demonstrate that the rate of tissue spreading over a two-dimensional substratum reflects a competition or “tug-of-war” between cell–cell and cell–substratum adhesio

5. Interleukin 1 promotes tumor cell adhesion to cultured human endothelial cells.
We report that IL 1 acts on the endothelium, inducing a long-lasting increase in its adhesivity to tumor cells. Selective pretreatment of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (EC) with IL 1 caused a significant increase in adhesion of three human colorectal carcinoma (HT-29, HCC-P2988, and HCC-M1410) cell lines and one human melanoma (A-375) cell

6. Interleukin 1 acts on cultured human vascular endothelium to increase the adhesion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, monocytes, and related leukocyte cell lines.
Increased leukocyte adhesion to the endothelial lining of blood vessels is an essential event in inflammation and the pathogenesis of certain vascular diseases. We have studied the effect of interleukin 1 (IL-1), an inflammatory/immune mediator, on endothelial-leukocyte adhesion using quantitative in vitro assays. Selective pretreatment of cultured human umb

7. Phosphotyrosine-containing proteins are concentrated in focal adhesions and intercellular junctions in normal cells.
We have used a high-affinity polyclonal antibody directed against phosphotyrosine (P-Tyr) to localize P-Tyr-containing proteins in normal and transformed cells in culture by immunofluorescence microscopy experiments. The distribution of the proteins with modified tyrosine was compared with that of F-actin in these cells. Cells infected with Abelson murine le

8. A model for the kinetics of homotypic cellular aggregation under static conditions.
We present the formulation and testing of a mathematical model for the kinetics of homotypic cellular aggregation. The model considers cellular aggregation under no-flow conditions as a two-step process. Individual cells and cell aggregates 1) move on the tissue culture surface and 2) collide with other cells (or aggregates). These collisions lead to the for

9. Impairment of selectin-mediated leukocyte adhesion to venular endothelium in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
The present study was designed to elucidate whether molecular mechanisms for leukocyte adhesion to microvascular endothelium may differ between spontaneously hypertensive rats and Wistar Kyoto rats. Leukocyte rolling and adhesion were investigated while monitoring venular wall shear rates in the mesenteric microcirculation stimulated with histamine or tert-b

10. Demonstration of mechanical connections between integrins, cytoskeletal filaments, and nucleoplasm that stabilize nuclear structure
We report here that living cells and nuclei are hard-wired such that a mechanical tug on cell surface receptors can immediately change the organization of molecular assemblies in the cytoplasm and nucleus. When integrins were pulled by micromanipulating bound microbeads or micropipettes, cytoskeletal filaments reoriented, nuclei distorted, and nucleoli redis

11. Advanced glycation endproducts interacting with their endothelial receptor induce expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in cultured human endothelial cells and in mice. A potential mechanism for the accelerated vasculopathy of diabetes.
Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), an inducible cell-cell recognition protein on the endothelial cell surface (EC), has been associated with early stages of atherosclerosis. In view of the accelerated vascular disease observed in patients with diabetes, and the enhanced expression of VCAM-1 in diabetic rabbits, we examined whether irreversible advan

12. Sickle erythrocyte adherence to vascular endothelium. Morphologic correlates and the requirement for divalent cations and collagen-binding plasma proteins.
Increased adherence of sickle erythrocytes to vascular endothelium has been suggested by Hebbel and his colleagues to play a role in vasocclusive events of sickle cell disease. To define the role of cell membrane changes and plasma factors in cell adherence, a micropipette technique previously developed by us to obtain a direct, quantitative measure of cell
