This study aimed to investigate the nanofiltration membrane fouling on the NF270 membrane formed during acid mine drainage (AMD) treatment, and the best chemical cleaning procedure to remove this fouling. Moreover, membrane ageing by AMD retentate alone and AMD retentate combined with periodic chemical cleaning solution was assessed. The AMD is a mining effluent with low pH, high concentrations of sulfate, and is mainly composed of dissolved inorganic compounds; its treatment by nanofiltration produces ...

In Brazil, more than 487,450 individuals are currently undergoing antiretroviral treatment. In order to monitor the transmission of drug-resistant strains and HIV subtype distribution in the country, this work aimed to estimate its prevalence and to characterize the nationwide pretreatment drug resistance in individuals recently diagnosed with HIV between 2013 and 2015.The HIV threshold survey methodology (HIV-THS, WHO) targeting antiretroviral-naive individuals with recent HIV diagnosis was utilized, ...

The phylogenetic proximity between Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) dionisii suggests that these parasites might explore similar strategies to complete their life cycles. T. cruzi is the etiological agent of the life threatening Chagas' disease, whereas T. dionisii is a bat trypanosome and probably not capable of infecting humans. Here we sought to compare mammalian cell invasion and intracellular traffic of both trypanosomes and determine the differences and similarities in this ...

Meningiomas are common, usually benign tumors of the central nervous system that have a high rate of post-surgical recurrence or regrowth. We determined expression of the proteins merlin, NDRG2, ERBB2, and c-MYC in meningiomas using immunohistochemistry and assessed relationships between protein expression and gender, age, tumor grade, and recurrence or regrowth. The study sample comprised 60 patients, (44 women and 16 men) with a mean age of 53.2±12.7 years. Tumors were classified as grade I (n=48) ...

Pituitary adenomas account for 10-15% of primary intracranial tumors. Growth hormone (GH)-secreting adenomas account for 13% of all pituitary adenomas and cause acromegaly. These tumors can be aggressive, invade surrounding structures and are highly recurrent. The objective of this study was to evaluate E-cadherin, Slug and neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) expression in GH-secreting pituitary adenomas and its relationship to tumor invasiveness.

The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the best conditions of chemical cleaning of a nanofiltration (NF) membrane (NF90) employed in the treatment of gold mining effluent, and (2) to investigate the effects of continuous exposure to mining effluent and an acid cleaning agent on NF characteristics. NF fouling was mainly due to inorganic species, and calcium sulfate (CaSO4·0.5H2O) was identified over membrane surface. Therefore, acid solutions were the most efficient in membrane cleaning, and ...

CTX-M-type extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli clones have been increasingly reported worldwide. In this regard, although discussions of transmission routes of these bacteria are in evidence, molecular data are lacking to elucidate the epidemiological impacts of ESBL producers in wild animals. In this study, we have screened 90 wild animals living in a surrounding area of São Paulo, the largest metropolitan city in South America, to monitor the presence of multidrug-resistant ( ...

Despite being widely used, large differences in filtration-time and hydrodynamic conditions between bench- and large-scale membrane units make the scaling up of bench-scale results an issue. On the other hand, pilot tests allow obtaining more reliable information on hydrodynamic conditions, fouling rates, and cleaning methods. Hence, the aim of this study was to evaluate nanofiltration (NF) membrane fouling control strategies in an integrated ultrafiltration (UF)-NF pilot plant applied to the treatment ...

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is an effluent characterized by low pH and high concentrations of sulfate, metals, and metalloids. AMD treatment by membrane separation processes (MSP), specifically nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) is particularly interesting; as these processes can retain divalent ions efficiently to produce high quality permeate for industrial reuse. This study aimed to evaluate the main operational conditions of the gold AMD treatment by MSP, and conduct a preliminary capital ...

Abstract Plasmodium vivax invasion into human reticulocytes is a complex process. The Duffy binding protein (DBP) dimerization with its cognate receptor is vital for junction formation in the invasion process. Due to its functional importance, DBP is considered a prime vaccine candidate, but variation in B-cell epitopes at the dimer interface of DBP leads to induction of strain-limited immunity. We believe that the polymorphic residues tend to divert immune responses away from functionally conserved ...

Prolactin (PRL) is a hormone synthesized in both the pituitary gland and extrapituitary sites. It has been associated with the occurrence of neoplasms and, more recently, with central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms. The aim of this study was to evaluate prolactin expression in primary central nervous system tumors through quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry (IH).Patient mean age was 49.1 years (SD 15.43), and females accounted for 70% of the sample.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of feed pH (2.2 - original effluent pH – up to 6.0) and temperature (20 up to 40°C) on the performance of integrated ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) applied to gold mining effluent. pH increase led to a significant decrease in UF permeate flux. NF showed high retention efficiencies of ions when temperature was below 30°C. Retention of high-valence counter-ions to balance the charge of retained co-ions seemed to be the strongest NF mechanisms. Process ...
