Purpose: To evaluate the expression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and its receptor, GDNF family receptor alpha subunit 1 (GFRα-1) in the pelvic (middle third) vagina and, particularly, in the paravaginal ganglia of nulliparous and primiparous rabbits. Methods: Chinchilla-breed female rabbits were used. Primiparas were killed on postpartum day 3 and nulliparas upon reaching a similar age. The vaginal tracts were processed for histological analyses or frozen for Western blot assays. We measured the ganglionic area, the Abercrombie-corrected number of paravaginal neurons, the cross-sectional area of the neuronal somata, and the number of satellite glial cells (SGCs) per neuron. The relative expression of both GDNF and GFRα-1 were assessed by Western blotting, and the immunostaining was semiquantitated. Unpaired two-tailed Student t -test or Wilcoxon test was used to identify statistically significant differences (P≤0.05) between the groups. Results: Our findings demonstrated that the ganglionic area, neuronal soma size, Abercrombie-corrected number of neurons, and number of SGCs per neuron were similar in nulliparas and primiparas. The relative expression of both GDNF and GFRα- 1 was similar. Immunostaining for both GDNF and GFRα-1 was observed in several vaginal layers, and no differences were detected regarding GDNF and GFRα-1 immunostaining between the 2 groups. In the paravaginal ganglia, the expression of GDNF was increased in neurons, while that of GFRα-1 was augmented in the SGCs of primiparous rabbits. Conclusions: The present findings suggest an ongoing regenerative process related to the recovery of neuronal soma size in the paravaginal ganglia, in which GDNF and GFRα-1 could be involved in cross-talk between neurons and SGCs.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of maternal diabetes in the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring in the prenatal and postnatal periods.Methods: This cohort study included singleton gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnancies >22 weeks’ gestation with live newborns between 1991 and 2008. The control group was randomly selected and matched (1:2) for maternal age, weeks of gestation and birth year. Cox regression models estimated the effect of GDM on the risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and maternal type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Moreover, interaction between maternal T2DM and GDM-ADHD relationship was evaluated.Results: Children (<i>n</i>=3,123) were included (1,073 GDM; 2,050 control group). The median follow-up was 18.2 years (interquartile range, 14.2 to 22.3) (<i>n</i>=323 with ADHD, <i>n</i>=36 with ASD, and <i>n</i>=275 from women who developed T2DM). GDM exposure was associated with ADHD (hazard ratio [HR]<sub>crude</sub>, 1.67; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.33 to 2.07) (HR<sub>adjusted</sub>, 1.64; 95% CI, 1.31 to 2.05). This association remained significant regardless of the treatment (diet or insulin) and diagnosis after 26 weeks of gestation. Children of mothers who developed T2DM presented higher rates of ADHD (14.2 vs. 10%, <i>P</i>=0.029). However, no interaction was found when T2DM was included in the GDM and ADHD models (<i>P</i>>0.05). GDM was not associated with an increased risk of ASD (HR<sub>adjusted</sub>, 1.46; 95% CI, 0.74 to 2.84).Conclusion: Prenatal exposure to GDM increases the risk of ADHD in offspring, regardless of GDM treatment complexity. However, postnatal exposure to maternal T2DM was not related to the development of ADHD.

Sixteen acetic acid bacteria (AAB) were isolated from blueberries and citric fruits of the Salto Grande region (Concordia, Entre Ríos, Argentina) using enrichment techniques and plate isolation. Enrichment broths containing ethanol and acetic acid enabled maximum AAB recovery, since these components promote their growth. Biochemical tests allowed classification of the bacteria at genus level. PCR-RFLP of the 16S rRNA and PCR-RFLP of the 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer allowed further classification at the species level; this required treatment of the amplified products of 16S and 16S-23S ITS ribosomal genes with the following restriction enzymes: AluI, RsaI, HaeIII, MspI, TaqI, CfoI, and Tru9I. C7, C8, A80, A160, and A180 isolates were identified as Gluconobacter frateurii; C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, A70, and A210 isolates as Acetobacter pasteurianus; A50 and A140 isolates as Acetobacter tropicalis; and C9 isolate as Acetobacter syzygii. The bacteria identified by 16S rRNA PCR-RFLP were validated by 16S-23S PCR-RFLP; however, the C1 isolate showed different restriction patterns during identification and validation. Partial sequencing of the 16S gene resolved the discrepancy.

The development of new biomaterials with improved properties is a trend in tissue regeneration. In this way, an innovative approach is employed in this work for obtaining polymer fibers coated with nanoparticles resulting from the simultaneous application of poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/polycaprolactone (PCL) electrospinning and bioactive particles from an amorphous multicomponent silica–calcium–phosphorus system (AMS) electrospraying. The osteogenesis was evaluated in vitro and in vivo using male rats, in which total protein, alkaline phosphatase, and biological performance through histological and histomorphometric analysis were discussed. The morphological results assessed by scanning electron microscopy showed a mesh of PLA/PCL fibers associated with AMS. The spraying of 17.44% of AMS particles in the PLA/PCL electrospun fibers decreased the Young’s modulus and tensile strength. However, the amount of AMS particles sprayed was enough to promote a reduction of 17.8% in the measured contact angle values. Phosphatase alkaline higher mean value was also observed in the fibers when in contact with the AMS, but nonstatistical difference was observed (p > 0.05). It was possible to observe the presence of mineralized nodules deposited on the bottom of the plate and between the fibers. The newly formed bone into defect filled with PLA/PCL-AMS fibers was higher than that observed in the control group. These findings suggest PLA/PCL-AMS fibers as a multifunctional composite system that may be attractive for both bone and dental tissue engineering applications.

Eudragit® L100 (EuL) and Eudragit® S100(EuS) are synthetic polyanions differing on their electric charge density. They interact with chymotrypsin (ChTRP),a basic protein forming soluble and non-soluble complexes. The complex formation was studied by dynamic light scattering, isothermal titration calorimetry, native fluorescence emission, circular dichroism and thermodynamical thermal stability of the enzyme. EuS was able to bind 33 ChTRP molecules while EuL, 60. The binding of ChTRP to both Eu was slightly endothermic and the entropic factor was responsible for the soluble complexes formation. The ChTRP-Eu size increases with pH and the binding of ChTRP to Eu modifies the Eu hydrodynamic radium. The interaction of ChTRP with Eu did not modify its secondary or tertiary structure. The thermal stability of ChTRP was increased when it interacted with both Eu.

In a virtual world, firms and individuals are connected through multiple devices and channels, whereby both act as content creators. The relevance of customer co-creation for brand-building in digital environments requires further research (Ramaswamy and Ozcan, 2016). From a growing body of research, a stream suggests that technology is changing the way consumers and firms interact, whereby consumers perceive brand image to be the sum of all brand online and offline information. Another stream assumes that consumers perceive brands as having personality characteristics, which are used to differentiate them from competitors. For this latter approach, Aaker’s (1997) model is widely used to analyse brand personality (BPS). However, no evidences has been found regarding to what extent firms and customers communicate the same brand values. We accomplish this by analysing the brand personality dimensions communicated online by two international hotel chains (Pestana & FourSeasons) and their clients, using two different digital channels, namely: 12 websites and 600 TripAdvisor comments. A content analysis was carried out using the BPS dictionary of WordStat software, created by Opoku et al. (2006), which contains 833 words, divided into the five BPS categories. The results show that most of the content was created by clients (89% of messages). FourSeasons hotels communicate Excitement and Sophistication, whereas Pestana hotels communicate Sincerity and Sophistication. Sincerity is the highest tagged dimension of the BPS references, both for FourSeasons and for Pestana, which suggests that clients tend to perceive both brands as being reputable. In summary, although clients and hotels converge with regards to hotel brand personality traits, distinctive brand personalities emerge.
