Abstract
Parasitic infections (PIs) remain a public health concern among school-age children living in areas of greater socioeconomic vulnerability, especially in Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. PIs can promote nutritional deficiencies, increasing the risk of anemia and impaired physical and cognitive development. Thus, fortified foods have been considered as a promising strategy for improving the nutritional status of children and preventing PI complications. This systematic review aimed to present the effects of iron-fortified foods for deworming and improving blood parameters in schoolchildren residing in areas that are vulnerable to PIs. This review is based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines of randomized clinical trials addressing the use of fortified foods and micronutrients in children living in areas endemic for PIs. The PubMed, LILACS, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were searched to identify articles published between 2000 and 2020. A total of 153 records were retrieved from the databases, 10 of which were considered eligible for this study. On the basis of our analysis, most of the selected studies showed that the inclusion of fortified foods in the diet improved blood and infectious parameters. Therefore, fortified foods can be used as an important tool for controlling the adverse outcomes of PIs among children living in areas of greater vulnerability. However, more studies on this topic are needed to provide more evidence and consolidate strategies using iron-fortified food.

Abstract
A role of IL-10 is down-regulating T-cell responses to schistosome antigens. Since SmATPDases can be correlated to modulation of the immune response, we evaluated the expression of enzymes in S. mansoni eggs. Faecal samples were collected from 40 infected individuals to detect coding regions of the SmATPDases. The cytokines were measured in supernatants of PBMC. The analysis was performed by the global median determination and set up high producers (HP) of cytokines. Six individuals expressed SmATPDase1, six expressed SmATPDase2 and six expressed both enzymes. The group who expressed only SmATPDase1 showed a high frequency of IFN-γ, TNF IL-4 HP; individuals who expressed only SmATPDase2 showed a high frequency of IFN-γ, IL-6 and IL-4 HP; and individuals who expressed both enzymes showed a high frequency of IL-10 HP. The comparison of the IFN-γ/IL-10 ratio presented higher indices in the group who had SmATPDase 2 expression than those who had the expression of both enzymes. The positive correlation between infection intensity and IL-10 levels remained only in the positive SmATPDase group. The IL-10 is the only cytokine induced by the expression of both enzymes. Our data suggest that the expression of both enzymes seems to be a factor that modulates the host immune response by inducing high IL-10 production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the most widely accepted mechanism of action for polymyxins is related to bacterial lysis via disruption, we hypothesized that this antimicrobial drug class could have other effects on Pseudomonas aeruginosa planktonic and sessile cells. Little is known regarding oxidative burst and zeta potential (ZP) data associated with the interaction between polymyxin B and P. aeruginosa cells. The present study evaluated endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and changes in the net charges of biofilm and planktonic cells in response to polymyxin B. RESULTS Polymyxin B induced concentration-dependent killing at all concentrations tested in planktonic and sessile cells from P. aeruginosa strains. Sublethal concentrations of polymyxin B induced oxidative burst. ROS production was higher in resistant planktonic cells than in biofilm cells but this was not observed for susceptible cells. Moreover, no net surface charge alterations were observed in planktonic cells from a susceptible strain treated with polymyxin B, but a significant increase of ZP was noted in planktonic cells from a resistant strain. CONCLUSION Oxidative burst generated by planktonic and sessile cells from P. aeruginosa strains against polymyxin B indicates that ROS may have an important role in the mechanism of action of this drug. ZP data revealed that electrostatic interactions of the cationic peptide with the anionic surface of the cells are strain-dependent. Therefore, we suggested that the intracellular effects of polymyxin B should be further investigated to understand polymyxin B-induced stress in P. aeruginosa.

Abstract
An experiment was performed using 1,000 laying Japanese quails to assess the availability of two alternative dietary methionine sources. Treatment 01 = Basal Feed that is deficient in digestible methionine + cystine (Met + Cys). The other treatments were constituted by Met + Cys levels of 0.8, 1.60 and 2.40 g/kg, supplemented with DL-Methionine-99%, HMTBA-88% and HMTBA-84%, being 10 treatments in total. The following characteristics were studied: feed intake (g/bird/day), egg production (egg/day × 100), egg weight (g/egg), egg mass (g/egg), feed conversion per egg dozen (kg feed/dozen eggs), feed conversion per egg mass (kg feed/kg eggs), relative yolk weight (g/100 g of egg), relative albumen weight (g/100 g of egg), relative shell weight (g/100 g of egg), shell thickness (mm) and specific gravity (g/cm3 ). In general result comment, supplemental methionine sources must be included in the poultry diet. The different methionine sources affect the performance of quails, and the increase in the levels within each source improves the performance variables. Significant effect was observable on performance variables and egg quality variables, being that DLM-99% is superior to the other sources. The HMTBA-88% source is superior to the HMTBA-84% source for the same aforementioned variables. In conclusion, the bioefficacy values of the HMTBA-88% and HMTBA-84% sources compared to the DLM-99% source on an equimolar basis were 81 and 79%, respectively, for the performance variables, and 83 and 74 while the methionine sources were equivalent for the variables related to egg quality.

Abstract
Four experiments were conducted to estimate the phosphorus and calcium requirements for weight maintenance and weight gain in Japanese quails during their growth phase from 16 to 36 days. Japanese quails aged 16 days were used for estimating the phosphorous and calcium requirements for weight maintenance or weight gain, with these quails composing each reference slaughter group and the others distributed in a completely randomized design, housed in cages of galvanized wire (33 × 33 × 16 cm) that were stored in acclimatized chambers with specific environmental temperatures. The light programme used during the 20-day experimental period was 24 h of artificial light. Analysis of the data showed that the prediction equations for estimating the phosphorus and calcium requirements for weight maintenance and weight gain of Japanese quails between 16 and 36 days of age were P (g/quail/day) = P0.75 *(9.3695 + 7.7397*T) + 9.70*WG, in which P is the phosphorus requirement, and Ca (g/quail/day) = P0.75 *(363.99 - 8.0262*T) + 28.15*WG, in which Ca is the calcium requirement, P is BW (kg), T is temperature (°C) and WG (g/quail/day).

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of protein reduction and supplementation of l-glutamic acid in male broiler diets. A total of 648 chicks of the Cobb 500 strain were distributed in a completely randomized design with six treatments and six replications with eighteen birds per experimental unit. The study comprised pre-starter (1-7 days), starter (8-21 days), growth (22-35 days) and final (36-45 days) phases. The first treatment consisted of a control diet formulated according to the requirements of essential amino acids for each rearing phase. The second and third treatments had crude protein (CP) reduced by 1.8 and 3.6 percentage points (pp) in relation to the control diet respectively. In the fourth treatment, l-glutamic acid was added to provide the same glutamate level as the control diet, and in the last two treatments, the broilers were supplemented with 1 and 2 pp of glutamate above that of the control diet respectively. The reduction in CP decreased the performance of broilers and the supplementation of l-glutamic acid did not influence performance when supplied in the diets with excess of glutamate. The lowest excreted nitrogen values were observed in the control diet, and treatments 2 and 3, respectively, in comparison with treatments with the use of l-glutamic acid (5 and 6). Retention efficiency of nitrogen was better in the control diet and in the treatment with a reduction of 1.8 pp of CP. It was verified that the serum uric acid level decreased with the CP reduction. A reduction in CP levels of up to 21.3%, 18.8%, 18.32% and 17.57% is recommended in phases from 1 to 7, 8 to 21, 22 to 35 and at 36 to 42 days, respectively, with a level of glutamate at 5.32%, 4.73%, 4.57%, 4.38%, also in these phases.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to determine the nutritional requirements of sodium for Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) during the periods of 1 to 21 d and 22 to 40 d of age, as well as to evaluate the residual effect on egg production and densitometry bone traits from 41 to 63 d. Two experiments were developed. Experiment 1: 360 Japanese quail were used, from 1 to 21 d of age. Treatments consisted of 5 sodium levels (0.06, 0.12, 0.18, 0.24, and 0.30%). Experiment 2: 240 Japanese quail were used, from 22 to 40 d. Treatments consisted of 5 sodium levels (0.04, 0.12, 0.20, 0.28, and 0.36%). In both experiments, weight gain, final weight, and feed conversion presented a quadratic trend, whereas water intake presented a linear trend. Treatments did not affect the densitometry of bone traits, although they presented a quadratic influence on tibia ash, calcium, and calcium:phosphorus ratio. Therefore, the nutritional requirement of sodium for Japanese quail from 1 to 21 d and from 22 to 40 d is 0.222% and 0.253%, respectively.

Abstract
Despite extensive efforts, establishment of bovine embryonic stem (ES) cell lines has not been successful. We hypothesized that culture conditions for in vitro-produced (IVP) embryos, the most used source of inner cell mass (ICM) to obtain ES cells, might affect their undifferentiated state. Therefore, the aim of this work was to improve pluripotency of IVP blastocysts to produce suitable ICM for further culturing. We tested KSR and foetal calf serum (FCS) supplements in SOF medium and ES cell conditioned medium (CM) on IVC (groups: KSR, KSR CM, FCS and FCS CM). Cleavage and blastocyst rates were similar between all groups. Also, embryonic quality, assessed by apoptosis rates (TUNEL assay), total cell number and ICM percentage did not differ between experimental groups. However, expression of pluripotency-related markers was affected. We detected down-regulation of OCT3/4, SOX2 and SSEA1 in ICM of FCS CM blastocysts (p < 0.05). SOX2 gene expression revealed lower levels (p < 0.05) on KSR CM blastocysts and a remarkable variation in SOX2 mRNA levels on FCS-supplemented blastocysts. In conclusion, pluripotency-related markers tend to decrease after supplementation with ES cell CM, suggesting different mechanisms regulating mouse and bovine pluripotency. KSR supplementation did not differ from FCS, but FCS replacement by KSR may produce blastocysts with stable SOX2 gene expression levels.

Abstract
The authors report a familial case of mosaicism for an extra ring 20, identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), in a mother and her child. In spite of the fact that both patients had clinical abnormalities, the more severe phenotype present in the child was probably due to the higher percentage of abnormal cells. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a familial extra ring 20 mosaicism.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite early dietary therapy, many patients with galactosemia show a neurodegenerative disease specially evident in speech impairment and movement disorders. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, show cerebral white matter changes with hypomielinization bilateral and symetrical periventricular hypersignal in T2. PATIENTS AND METHODS We presented clinical and neuroradiological data of seven children (3 to 12 years of age) with classical galactosemia. All had a typical presentation in neonatal period. Two children had normal development (10 and 12 years-old), four presented developmental delay (10, 7, 4 and 3 years-old), and one showed a dystonic cerebral palsy (kernicterus). RESULTS The brain MRI showed the typical involvement of white matter, in five children, and basal ganglia abnormalities in the kernicterus patient. Three patients are homozygous for Q188R mutation and two are compound heterozygous. CONCLUSION We found a positive correlation among developmental delay, white matter involvement and Q188R mutation.

Abstract
Diffusely adhering Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains (DAEC) represent a potential cause of diarrhoea in infants, and the detection of type three secretion system (TTSS) genes in DAEC would substantiate their pathogenic nature. In this work, four isolates of DAEC, recovered from stools of diarrhoeic children, were analysed by PCR, in order to detect the presence of TTSS genes. Primers targeted to the escC, escJ, escN and escV, some of the most conserved TTSS genes in enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EPEC and EHEC), were used in order to verify the occurrence of homologous genes in our DAEC isolates. By this approach, we were able to characterise DNA fragments corresponding to putative escJ and escN genes in all DAEC isolates. Furthermore, DNA fragments homologous to the escC and escV genes were also amplified from all isolates. Besides the similarity found among the DAEC esc homologues with EPEC and EHEC esc genes, the nucleotide sequence analysis of the flanking regions of the amplified DNA fragments suggests that the putative DAEC esc genes are organised in the same manner as observed in EPEC and in EHEC strains. The results described here provide strong evidence for the presence of a TTSS in the DAEC strains analysed, implicating a pathogenic nature of these isolates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular complications are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in Marfan syndrome (MS), a common connective tissue disorder. Currently it is considered that the prognosis and morphologic characteristics in infantile Marfan syndrome may be quite different from those reported in older patients. The objective of this study was to analyze the cardiovascular manifestations and evolution of the patients with Marfan syndrome followed at our pediatric cardiac unit. METHODS The authors reviewed the clinical files of all the patients that fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for MS according to De Paepe et al. (1996). We analyzed the following parameters: gender, age at referral, race, family history, clinical examination, diagnostic exams, therapy and evolution. The patients were divided into two groups according to the age at diagnosis: infants (group 1) and older patients (group 2). RESULTS Group 1 included 3 infants, two boys and one girl, sporadic cases, presenting congestive heart failure. The major cardiac diagnoses were aortic dilatation (1/3) and mitral valve prolapse with severe mitral regurgitation (2/3). Congenital heart disease was associated in two cases (patent ductus arteriosus and atrial septal defect). Two needed cardiac surgery at an early age and one was recently proposed for surgery. There were no deaths. Group 2 included 20 patients, 14 boys and 6 girls, first seen at a mean age of 8 years. Ten had a positive family history and none presented cardiac symptoms. The major cardiac manifestations were mitral valve prolapse (18/20) and aortic dilatation (17/20). There was no significant progression of the cardiac lesions, except for one case, during the 12 years of follow-up. CONCLUSION Infantile MS presented high morbidity; mitral regurgitation was severe in two cases. All patients presented heart failure, two needing early operations. In classic MS evolution was favorable, and the commonest cardiac lesions were mitral valve prolapse and aortic dilatation. We emphasize the need for beta-blockers to prevent progression of aortic dilatation. The decision for surgery rests upon the severity of valve regurgitation and the rate of progression of aortic dilatation. It is important to inform patients and family about physical exercise, prevention of endocarditis, risks associated with pregnancy and genetic counseling.

Abstract
We have recently described that Trypanosoma cruzi parasites of the reticulotropic Y strain increase their resistance to antibody-induced clearance during their interaction with the vertebrate host immune system. In the present study, we observed that trypomastigotes of the myotropic CL strain isolated from normal host also display an increased resistance to immune clearance when compared to parasites obtained from immunosuppressed donors. Through fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis, we have observed that the high expression of membrane-bound IgM antibodies on Y and CL trypomastigotes correlates with their enhanced resistance to Ig-induced clearance. Trypomastigotes from normal mice were essentially refractory to the in vitro binding of immunoglobulins, showing that their membrane structures were completely covered by IgM antibodies. These findings suggest that this isotype does not efficiently mediate immune clearance. Moreover, membrane-bound IgM antibodies limited the amount of IgG attached to the parasite and, as a consequence, impaired efficient immune clearance. Through this mechanism, trypomastigotes of T. cruzi could increase their persistence in the bloodstream thus favoring parasite transmission to its hematophagous host vector in the early acute phase of the disease.

Abstract
A newborn male with the characteristic phenotype of classic rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP) and with the usual and severe radiographic skeletal abnormalities is described. The parents were young, healthy, and not consanguineous; the mother had not used licit or illicit drugs, alcohol, or tobacco during pregnancy and had not been exposed to radiation or teratogenic chemicals. The clinical phenotype led us to study peroxisomal function. Plasmalogen content in erythrocytes, membrane, and fibroblasts; dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase (DHAP-AT), alkyldehydroxyaceton phosphate synthetase (a gift from Professor Henk van der Boch, Utrech) in fibroblasts; and phytanic and pristanic acids in plasma showed normal values. Immunocytofluorescence study with antibodies against peroxisomal membrane showed normal organelles. We found no reference in the literature of a case of RCDP with normal peroxisomal functions, but non-CDP has been described with peroxisomal dysfunction. This phenotype (RCDP) may be due to other metabolic error.

Abstract
Adult BALB/c male mice were injected with a single dose of ethyl nitroso urea (ENU; 250 mg/kg, i.p.) and mated to C57BL/6, DBA/2 and A/J adult females 13 weeks later. F1 males were mated with BALB/c females and F2 females were than backcrossed to the F1 parents. One BALB/c male mouse thus treated gave origin to a mutant presenting hair and skin alterations similar to those of natural hairless mutants. The new mutation is located on chromosome 14 near the Es10 locus, and probably at the same locus for the hairless mutation. Similar to the hairless mouse, this new mutant has a normal phenotype at birth and after three weeks starts to loose hair which is never replaced. Additionally, the skin becomes thickened and wrinkled. One feature that distinguishes this mutant from other hairless mice is the peculiar enlargement of its axillary and cervical lymph nodes. The new mutant develops membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis similar to the rhino mouse, one of the hairless allele mutants already described in the literature, but with a much later onset.

Abstract
This paper discusses current evidence for the relationship between polyclonal lymphocyte activation, specific immunosuppression with decreased resistance, and autoimmune pathology, that are all often found associated with infections by a variety of virus, bacteria and parasites. The central question of class determination of immune effector activities is considered in the context of the cellular targets for nonspecific mitogenic activities associated with infection. A model is presented to integrate these findings: mitogens produced by the microorganism or the infected cells are preferentially active on CD5 B cells; the resulting over-production of IL-10 will tend to bias all immune activities into a Th2-mode of effector functions, with high titers of polyclonal antibodies and little or no production of gamma IFN and other "inflammatory" lymphokines that often mediate resistance. In turn, these conditions allow for parasite persistence and the corresponding long-term disregulation of self-directed immune reactivities, resulting in autoimmunity in the chronic phase. This model would predict that selective immunization with the mitogenic principles involved in deregulation, could stand better chances than strategies of vaccination based on immunopotentiation against other, functionally neutral antigenic epitopes. It is argued, however, that the complexity of immune responses and their regulation, together with our ignorance on the genetic controls of class-determination, offer poor prospects for a scientifically-based, rational development of vaccines in the near future. It is suggested that empirically-based and technologically developed vaccines might succeed, while basic scientific approaches are reinforced and given the time to provide a better understanding of those processes.

Abstract
Parasite infection causes marked perturbations in the host immune system, as shown by hypergammaglobulinemia, autoimmunity and immune depression, but there is little information on the number, specificities and performance of B cell clones activated in the course of infection. We have addressed these questions in a model of murine malaria induced by Plasmodium chabaudi, where primary infection results in very marked B cell responses that shift in Ig isotype pattern in immunoprotected animals, and where immunity can be transferred to naive recipients by injection of serum from late, but not early, infection. We have quantitated B cells responding to infection in two distinct functional compartments, namely blast cells and Ig-secreting cells, and compared normal with immune animals. We have also determined the frequencies of clonal specificities towards several autoantigens (DNA, myosin, transferrin and red cells), non-self protein or polysaccharide antigens (KLH, levan and dextran), and parasite antigens in both compartments, by measuring blast cell reactivities in limiting dilution analyses and Ig secretion in ELISASPOT assays. This experimental design allowed us to assess the specificity of the B cell responses, to compare the clonal composition of these two B cell compartments, and to evaluate putative specific response regulation at the step of terminal differentiation. Our results show that, in this particular experimental system: (i) B cell responses in primary infection are truly non-specific while immune animals show a greater ability to control the massive non-specific response; (ii) parasite specific B cells, particularly those committed to IgG production, are selectively stimulated in immune individuals; (iii) autoreactive B cells are not selectively stimulated, but increased autoantibody production may result from perturbation in the control of terminal differentiation in the respective clones; (iv) clones with specificity to some non-self antigens (e.g. KLH and dextran) are selectively engaged and regulated, which might have implications for the immunosuppression following infection.

Abstract
In the present work we report that susceptibility to Crotalus durissus terrificus venom: varies according to the strain of inbred mouse used. The s.c. LD50 for Balb/c and C57BI/6 mice were 193 micrograms/kg and 171 micrograms/kg, whereas for A/J and DBA/J they were 78 micrograms/kg and 74 micrograms/kg, respectively. In addition, a direct correlation between susceptibility to C. d. terrificus venom and creatine kinase serum levels (CK) was observed.

Abstract
Antigenic cross-reactivity was studied among the components of venoms from nine species of the genus Bothrops using species-specific antivenoms. Sera titration by DOT-ELISA detected similar levels of antibody when either homologous or heterologous antigens were used. Transblotted antigens, after SDS-PAGE fractionation, were also revealed by homologous and heterologous antivenoms. Antigens with mol. wt greater than 30,000 seemed to be the most cross-reactive. Antigens of about 24,000 mol. wt were poorly immunogenic. Antigens between 14-18,000 mol. wt cross-reacted only with B. moojeni, B. jararacussu, B. neuwiedi and B. pradoi venoms. Neutralization of the lethality of B. jararaca venom was observed by homologous and heterologous antivenoms.
