Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in developed countries, such as Australia. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only two carotenoids found in the macular region of the eye. Studies have shown that an intake of 10 mg and 2 mg per day of lutein and zeaxanthin, respectively, can reduce the rate of progression of AMD. The supply of these carotenoids can only be met through dietary sources or supplements, as these compounds cannot be synthesised by humans. Although lutein is relatively abundant in dietary sources, zeaxanthin has limited sources. In this study, eight orange and three red capsicum varieties were analysed for their carotenoid profiles by UHPLC-DAD-APCI-MS. It was observed that the principal carotenoid for seven of the orange varieties was zeaxanthin, and capsanthin for the three red varieties. One orange variety, which had a darker orange hue, had capsanthin and violaxanthin as its principal carotenoids instead of zeaxanthin. Zeaxanthin concentration (the principal carotenoid) in the seven orange varieties varied from 2.6 ± 0.5 mg/100 g to 25.27 ± 9.4 mg/100 FW, suggesting that as little as 7 g of the high-zeaxanthin line could meet the recommended daily dietary intake of 2 mg/person/day.

<p>Neste artigo, discutimos elementos essenciais do processo de urbanização presente na região amazônica e suas implicações na dinâmica urbana de Imperatriz. As mudanças socioeconômicas, demográficas e culturais presentes nessa macro-região desde 1950, foram motivadas pelos processos de modernização regional. Teve destaque nesse cenário, a difusão das estratégias de ocupação e povoamento orientadas através dos projetos de colonização, mínero-metalúrgicos, agropecuários e atualmente o dinamismo socioeconômico assumido por algumas cidades. Ressaltamos nesse contexto, a participação da cidade de Imperatriz que localiza-se na porção oriental dessa região. Entre as décadas de 1960-1980, Imperatriz registrou notável crescimento demográfico e econômico. A partir da década de 1980, verificaram-se mudanças significativas na sua estrutural funcional, sendo orientadas pelas atividades terciárias, em particular, a consolidação da atividade comercial e o desenvolvimento dos serviços de educação superior e saúde. Do ponto de vista metodológico, as reflexões aqui realizadas foram guiadas a partir de uma análise de dados socioeconômicos organizados por órgão oficiais. É o caso do IBGE, IMESC e Fundação João Pinheiro e ainda por uma revisão bibliográfica que destaca os significados das cidades médias no contexto da região amazônica.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chave</strong>: Reestruturação urbano-regional; Urbanização Amazônica; Imperatriz-MA.</p><p><strong>Abstract </strong></p><p>In this article, we discuss essential elements of the process of urbanization present in the Amazon region and its implications in the urban dynamics of Imperatriz. The socioeconomic, demographic and cultural changes present in this macro-region since 1950, were motivated by the processes of regional modernization. In this scenario, the diffusion of occupation and settlement strategies was oriented through the colonization, mining-metallurgical, agricultural and livestock projects, and the socio-economic dynamism assumed by some cities. We emphasize in this context, the participation of the city of Imperatriz that is located in the eastern portion of that region. Between the decades of 1960-1980, Imperatriz registered a remarkable demographic and economic growth. From the 1980s, there were significant changes in its functional structure, being driven by tertiary activities, in particular, the consolidation of commercial activity and the development of higher education and health services. From the methodological point of view, the reflections carried out here were guided by an analysis of socioeconomic data organized by official bodies. This is the case of the IBGE, IMESC and João Pinheiro Foundation, as well as a bibliographical review that highlights the meanings of medium-sized cities in the context of the Amazon region.</p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Urban-regional restructuring.

Both ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and Crohn’s disease (CD) are chronic and potentially disabling interrelated conditions, which have been included under the group of spondyloarthropathies. The results of a large number of studies support the idea that an enteropathic pathogen,Klebsiella pneumoniae, is the most likely triggering factor involved in the initiation and development of these diseases. Increased starch consumptions by genetically susceptible individuals such as those possessing HLA-B27 allelotypes could trigger the disease in both AS and CD by enhancing the growth and perpetuation of theKlebsiellamicrobes in the bowel. Exposure to increased levels of these microbes will lead to the production of elevated levels of anti-Klebsiellaantibodies as well as autoantibodies against cross-reactive self-antigens with resultant pathological lesions in the bowel and joints. Hence, a decrease of starch-containing products in the daily dietary intake could have a beneficial therapeutic effect on the disease especially when used in conjunction with the currently available medical therapies in the treatment of patients with AS and CD.
