25. The veiled and unveiled: images of the Feast of Congada / O velado e o revelado: imagens da Festa da Congada
Guarded and revealed: images of the Feast of Congada is a result of the research on processes of perception attributed to the look that report to the visible world, but also to the invisible world, which apprehension and understanding includes codes, modulation and education of senses diverse and specific. Based on fieldwork with images, the Feast of Congada

26. DNA tests probe the genomic ancestry of Brazilians
We review studies from our laboratories using different molecular tools to characterize the ancestry of Brazilians in reference to their Amerindian, European and African roots. Initially we used uniparental DNA markers to investigate the contribution of distinct Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA lineages to present-day populations. High levels of genetic ad

27. Body Consciousness and African ancestry: Concepts Sociopoeticos produced by people of holy / Consciência Corporal e Ancestralidade Africana: Conceitos Sociopoéticos Produzidos por Pessoas de Santo
Este estudo apresenta os conceitos sociopoéticos produzidos por uma comunidade de terreiro de candomblé, Ilê Axé Omo Tifé, localizada no bairro de Jangurussu, na periferia de Fortaleza-Ce. O tema gerador da pesquisa é consciência corporal e ancestralidade africana. Noto que, apesar dos terreiros de candomblé, em principio estarem mais conectados com

28. Entre a colher e a enxada: interfaces entre a alimentação e a cultura dos quilombolas de Piranga-MG / From the spoon to the hoe: relation between food and culture of the Quilombolas from Piranga - MG
Many are the paths that lead us to the studies on eating habits. As a cultural data, food should be seen as an important tool from which we can understand how we are socially located and which representations we construct from ourselves and from the others. From this perspective, this work aims at studying the cultural matrix of quilombolas communities remai

29. Artrite reumatoide em Afro-brasileiros : "O papel do HLA" / Rheumatoid arthritis in Afro-brazilians : "The role of HLA"
The association of histocompatibility antigens with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) comes being demonstrated in innumerable studies. However, the evaluation in afrodescendents populations still little was studied. The aim of this study has been to determine the frequency of HLA-DRB1 alleles, and the contributions of the polymorphism of these alleles in the suscept

30. ENSAIO CLÍNICO RANDOMIZADO DA NITAZOXANIDA NO TRATAMENTO DE POLIPARASITOSES INTESTINAIS EM MUNICÍPIOS DA ZONA DA MATA, MINAS GERAIS / Random clinical test of the nitazoxanide in the treatment of intestinal poliparasitism in cities in Zona da Mata, Minas Gerais
As parasitoses intestinais são um importante problema de saúde pública principalmente nos países subdesenvolvidos ou em desenvolvimento. Embora o parasitismo intestinal seja amplamente reconhecido como relevante no contexto epidemiológico de diversas comunidades, os estudos sobre o assunto são ainda insuficientes, principalmente no Brasil. Em vista da

31. Association of polymorphisms at the ADIPOR1 regulatory region with type 2 diabetes and body mass index in a Brazilian population with European or African ancestry
Association studies between ADIPOR1 genetic variants and predisposition to type 2 diabetes (DM2) have provided contradictory results. We determined if two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP c.-8503G>A and SNP c.10225C>G) in regulatory regions of ADIPOR1 in 567 Brazilian individuals of European (EA; N = 443) or African (AfA; N = 124) ancestry from rural (qu

32. Resistência cultural afro-descendente na zona leste de São Paulo: o movimento negro "Fala Negão Fala Mulher" (1980-2008)
In the present work I analyze the construction of conceptions of pertaining and ancestry among groups african-descendants, more specifically the negro movement Fala Negão Fala Mulher. The trajectory of these people that seek to support theirs cause on culture, theirs modes and practice in theirs experience of life. Having the city of São Paulo as place of

33. Análise de polimorfismo no gene CTLA-4 em pacientes com paracoccidioidomicose
The CTLA-4 protein is mainly expressed in activated T cells and plays an essential role in the immune response through its regulatory effect on T cell activation. This activity is mediated by the binding of CTLA-4 to molecules of the B7 family that are expressed by antigen-presenting cells. Polymorphisms of the CTLA-4 gene have been correlated to several aut

34. Hemoglobinopatias e anemias em gestantes no Hospital Universitário de Campo Grande, MS
The hemoglobinopathies are a group of inherited diseases that are highly variable in clinic diagnosis, from forms that are incompatible with life to asymptomatic heterozygotes carriers, who under stress like pregnancy, may have the disease. The detection of heterozygote carriers is of great importance for public health as they constitute potential sources of

35. Programmed cell death 1 gene (PDCD1) polymorphism and pemphigus foliaceus (fogo selvagem) disease susceptibility
Pemphigus foliaceus, also known as fogo selvagem, is an autoimmune disease of the epidermis characterized by superficial blisters and antibodies against desmoglein 1. It is a multifactorial disease and genetic susceptibility is oligogenic or polygenic. Considering the crucial function of the programmed cell death 1 molecule (PD-1) in the immune response, the

36. Impacto da raça e ancestralidade na apresentação e evolução da doença de Crohn no Brasil / The impact of race and ancestry in the presentation and progression of Crohns disease in Brazil
INTRODUCTION: Crohns disease (CD) is increasingly recognized in diverse ethnic populations. Ethnic factors related do CD are highly controversial. Apparently, there seems to be a higher incidence among white subjects. However, studies conducted in USA have shown an increase in prevalence among black subjects in the last 30 years. Overall, there is lack of in
