Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations were determined in four dated sediment cores collected in mud depocenters of the southern Brazilian continental shelf. Core dating results covered the interval between 1925 and 2017. The total PAH concentrations (ΣPAHs) ranged from 44.69 ng g −1 to 305.43 ng g −1 and were similar between the analysed cores. Fine-grained sediments and total organic carbon (TOC) results did not correlate with the ΣPAHs, indicating that the variations in PAH concentrations ...

Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) plays a crucial role in viral infections by preventing viral replication and in the promotion of innate and adaptive immune responses. However, IFN-gamma can exert distinct effects in different persistent viral infections. The long-term overproduction of IFN-γ in retroviral infections, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), and human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), resulting in inflammation, may cause neuronal damage. This ...

Leaf analysis is an important tool to evaluate the nutritional status of crops. Evaluation of the nutritional status of the majority of crops generally involves a comparison of foliar nutrient concentrations with reference values associated mainly with yield and its quality. However, reference values for leaf-mineral composition are unknown for regional varieties. This study reports initial results of experiments in thirty vineyards of 'Trincadeira'/99R in Borba/Alentejo, one of the main producers ...

The A22 is a chemical compound that acts as a reversible inhibitor of a bacterial cell wall protein MreB leading the rods to the coccoid form. Thus, by changing the bacterial form, many properties can be affected, as the acquisition of nutrients, cell division, the clamping surfaces, motility and pathogenesis. Infections caused by strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa have great clinical importance because these microorganisms can include more than one resistance mechanism acting together, limiting ...

Abstract Cisplatin plays a central role in cancer chemotherapy, but resistance to this drug remains a major obstacle in treatment. Drawbacks related to cisplatin failure may be associated with cell energy metabolism. This study investigated whether photobiomodulation ( PBM ) can potentiate the effects of cisplatin on keratinocytes (HaCat) and cancer cells ( SCC 25 and HN 12). Cells were treated with laser (GaAlAs; 660 nm; 60 mW; 0.33 J; 2.14 W cm −2 ; 11.7 J cm −2 and 6 s) and cisplatin (7.8 μg mL −1 ) to evaluate ...

Abstract Photobiomodulation is being widely applied for improving dermal or mucosal wound healing. However, the underlying cellular and molecular processes that directly contribute to its effects remain poorly understood. Pericytes are relevant cells involved in the wound microenvironment and could be one of the main targets of photobiomodulation due to their plasticity and perivascular localization. Herein, we investigate tissue repair under the photobiomodulation stimulus using a pericyte labeled ( ...
