NaPi-IIb is a multiple passage protein membrane which is primarily responsible for phosphate uptake in the kidney and in the small intestine. Beyond its physiological functions, their involvement with carcinogenesis was initially described in mid-2003, due to its distinct level of expression in normal and tumor cells of the ovary. Although less common than cervical cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer is considered the most lethal gynecologic malignancy, which is mainly due to diagnosis in the advanced stages as a result of the absence of symptoms during the onset of the disease and the lack of tools for early detection. Here, we produce antibodies that are anti-synthetic peptides that are derived from the regions of second extracellular loop of NaPi-IIb, which is a non-overlapping portion of MX35 epitope. These two 15 distinct amino acid residue peptides, designated as Let#1 and Let#2, are engineered in a very thorough way to detect specific sites only in this isoform, thus excluding cross-reactivity with other carriers of the same family. The lack of immunogenicity of small peptides is surpassed by the conjugation with carrier proteins. Using immunochemical methods, we demonstrate that polyclonal antibodies that are mono-specific for the Let#1 and Let#2 peptides recognize proteins that express similar amino acid sequences during blood circulation. Additionally, using flow cytometry, we identify NaPi-IIb in NIH:OVCAR-3 cells. The clear identification of two shorter peptides on the extracellular loop of NaPi-IIb, which are far from the monoclonal antibody MX35-recognizing epitopes, adds new promising tools for ovarian cancer follow-up and staging.

Fractures of the zygomaticomaxillary complex are among the most common face traumas. Based upon the complexity and great variety of reported diagnoses and treatments, the proposal of this study was to evaluate, clinically and radiographically, unilateral zygomatic fractures treated through internal rigid fixation with miniplates and screws of 1.5 mm. Material and Method: 15 patients with unilateral fractures of the zygomaticomaxillary complex were analyzed, and compared with 15 patients without fractures so that a comparative analysis of the area and the perimeter of the orbital cavities could be made, as well as the distance from the nasal point to the zygomatic prominence between both groups. Results: In the radiographic analysis, the both groups presented similarity in the perimeter and in the area of the orbital cavities. Concerning the distance from the nasal point to the zygomatic prominence, only the operated group showed a significant difference between the sides, even though clinically the observation of the asymmetry had been absent or discreet. Conclusion: The treatment of unilateral fractures of the zygomaticomaxillary complex with the use of plates and screws of the 1.5 mm system proved to be effective, showing good esthetic results and low complication rates.

Introduction: obesity has a complex and multifactorial etiology, difficult treatment and increasing incidence rates in recent decades. The treatment involves clinical and pharmacological approaches and, in case of lack of results, surgical interventions. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of these surgical interventions in which the stomach is divided, creating a small pouch, and the remaining portion of the stomach become excluded and left without endoscopic access. Objective: to evaluate the results of modified RYGB with long pouch and endoscopic access to the remaining stomach. Materials and Methods: prospective clinical trial with sample selected among patients seen at the Alberto Rassi General State Hospital of Goiânia (HGG) and indicated for bariatric and metabolic surgery confirmed by the medical and multidisciplinary team. The study was conducted from January 2020 to August 2021. Clinical history and laboratory test results of the selected patients were collected through consultations with the medical and multidisciplinary team. Results: twelve participants were included in the study. Of these, 11 (91.7%) were women and the mean age was 46.3 years. The weight before surgery was 112.17 kg (92.00 - 150.00) and the Body Mass Index (BMI) was 44.89 (35.06 - 74.39). After 18 months of surgery, the mean weight was 80.77 kg (±11.92) and the mean BMI was 29.46 (±11.00), showing a significant reduction in both (p = 0.003 and p = 0.002, respectively). All patients underwent endoscopic evaluation of the pouch, remaining stomach and duodenum at 12 months postoperatively. The mean percentage of lost excess weight loss was 68.21%. Conclusion: We conclude that the proposed changes in RYGB (GBLP + GIB – Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with long pouch and gastrointestinal bipartition) did not compromise weight loss or control of type 2 diabetes and other comorbidities and proved to be a safe and effective alternative without gastroduodenal exclusion, enabling a better postop

Proteins containing an Rho GTPase-activating protein （RhoGAP） domain work as molecular switches involved in the regulation of diverse cellular functions. The ability of these GTPases to regulate a wide number of cellular processes comes from their interactions with multiple effectors and inhibitors, including the RhoGAP family, which stimulates their intrinsic GTPase activity. Here, a phylogenetic approach was applied to study the evolutionary relationship among 59 RhoGAP domain-containing proteins. The sequences were aligned by their RhoGAP domains and the phylogenetic hypotheses were generated using Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian analyses. The character tracing of two traits, GTPase activity and presence of other domains, indicated a significant phylogenetic signal for both of them.
