Objectivos: O objectivo deste estudo foi o de avaliar a sobrevivência, frequência de recidivas e sequelas em crianças com Doença de Hodgkin tratadas neste serviço nos últimos vinte anos.Material e Métodos: Foi efectuado um estudo de coorte retrospectivo. Foram analisados os seguintes parâmetros: idade, sexo, data do diagnóstico, tiemoglobina (Hb) (g/dl): <10,5 e > 10,5, velocidade de sedimentação (VS): &g...
Objectivos: Os catéteres venosos centrais (CVC) podem ser utilizados em crianças que requerem acesso venoso prolongado, nomeadamenle naquelas com doença oncológica. O objectivo deste estudo foi avaliar as complicações que levaram à remoção dos catéteres e comparar os dois tipos de CVC utilizados (CVC com componente externo e CVC totalmente implantados) no Serviço de Pediatria do IPOFG do Porto.Material e Método...
Understanding how increased genome size and diversity within polyploid genomes impacts plant evolution and breeding continues to be challenging. Although historical studies by McClintock suggested the importance of transposable elements mediated by polyploidisation on genomic changes, data from plant crosses remain scarce. Despite the absence of a conclusive proof regarding autonomous retrotransposon movement i...
The oxidation of benzoic acid (BA) and of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA) by galvanostatic electrolysis with simultaneous oxygen evolution, using BDD or Pt as anode materials is studied. Results concerning the oxidation kinetics as well as the identification and quantification of hydroxylated products are reported. First order kinetics are used to describe the consumption rates of both compounds despite of the an...
Antioxidant is the common designation for substances that have a potential action in the prevention of oxidative stress. The characterization of the reactivity of these substances has attracted the attention of many researchers, with the aim to establish correlations between the intake of antioxidants and health maintenance or to detect early stages of diseases associated with oxidative stress. The measurement ...
In the last decades, different studies shown that the increase in oxidative stress is associated with the risk factors implicated in the pathophysiology of many chronic diseases. Therefore it is important to evaluate the role that hydroxyl radicals-mediated damage may play in major human disorders. Proteins are important targets as they compose ca. 70% of cells. To understand the impact of specific modification...
Hydroxyl radical is one of the most reactive radicals. The generation of HO• represents an important task in different areas, such as organic synthesis [1], oxidative stress studies [2] and in the detoxification of effluents [3]. The generation of hydroxyl radicals based on metal catalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, by Fenton or Fenton-like reactions, is the most spread method. In the context of the mi...
A caracterização da capacidade antioxidante de moléculas e de alimentos tem captado a atenção de investigadores em diferentes áreas dada a ação dos antioxidantes no retardamento de processos oxidativos que estão na origem do stresse oxidativo. Dentro dos métodos convencionais utilizados na avaliação da capacidade antioxidante destacam-se os métodos óticos baseados na análise da resposta do antioxidante ao ataqu...
Os radicais HO são espécies altamente reativas usualmente designadas de espécies reativas de oxigénio (ROS). Estas espécies podem provocar danos importantes em organismos vivos, estando na origem do stresse oxidativo1, 2. As proteínas, dada a sua abundância em células, constituem alvos importantes do ataque por ROS, sendo assim relevante caracterizar as suas modificações oxidativas. Neste contexto é importante ...
The generation of hydroxyl radicals is an important process in many applications such as organic synthesis [1], oxidative stress studies [2] and detoxification of effluents [3]. Due to the high instability of these radicals they are usually produced in situ by means of different methods, such as disproportionation of peroxynitrous acid or dissociation of hydrogen peroxide by UV action. The generation of hydroxy...
