Abstract: A study of $\Lambda_b^0$ baryon decays to the $DpK^-$ final state is presented based on a proton-proton collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector. Two $\Lambda_b^0$ decays are considered, $\Lambda_b^0\to DpK^-$ with $D\to K^-\pi^+$ and $D\to K^+\pi^-$, where $D$ represents a superposition of $D^0$ and $\overline{D}^0$ states. The latter process is expected to be suppressed relative to the former, and is observed for the first time. The ratio of branching fractions of the two decays is measured, and the $C\!P$ asymmetry of the suppressed mode, which is sensitive to the CKM angle $\gamma$, is also reported.

Abstract: The differential cross-section of prompt inclusive production of long-lived charged particles in proton-proton collisions is measured using a data sample recorded by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of ${\sqrt{s} = 13\,\mathrm{TeV}}$. The data sample, collected with an unbiased trigger, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of ${5.4\,\mathrm{nb}^{-1}}$. The differential cross-section is measured as a function of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity in the ranges ${p_\mathrm{T} \in [0.08, 10)\,\mathrm{GeV}\,c^{-1}}$ and ${\eta \in [2.0, 4.8)}$ and is determined separately for positively and negatively charged particles. The results are compared with predictions from various hadronic-interaction models., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2021-010.html (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: A search for the doubly charmed baryon $\it{\Omega}_{cc}^{+}$ with the decay mode $\it{\Omega}_{cc}^{+}\to\it{\Xi}_c^{+}K^{-}\pi^{+}$ is performed using proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13$\mathrm{\,Te\kern -0.1em V}$ collected by the LHCb experiment from 2016 to 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. No significant signal is observed within the invariant mass range of 3.6 to 4.0$\mathrm{\,Ge\kern -0.1em V}/c^2$. Upper limits are set on the ratio $R$ of the production cross-section times the total branching fraction of the $\it{\Omega}_{cc}^{+}\to\it{\Xi}_c^{+}K^{-}\pi^{+}$ decay with respect to the $\it{\Xi}_{cc}^{++}\to\it{\Lambda}_c^{+}K^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{+}$ decay. Upper limits at 95% credibility level for $R$ in the range $0.005$ to $0.11$ are obtained for different hypotheses on the $\it{\Omega}_{cc}^{+}$ mass and lifetime in the rapidity range from 2.0 to 4.5 and transverse momentum range from 4 to 15$\mathrm{\,Ge\kern -0.1em V}/c$.

Abstract: A measurement of $CP$-violating observables is performed using the decays $B^\pm\to D K^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to D \pi^\pm$, where the $D$ meson is reconstructed in one of the self-conjugate three-body final states $K_{\mathrm S}\pi^+\pi^-$ and $K_{\mathrm S}K^+K^-$ (commonly denoted $K_{\mathrm S} h^+h^-$). The decays are analysed in bins of the $D$-decay phase space, leading to a measurement that is independent of the modelling of the $D$-decay amplitude. The observables are interpreted in terms of the CKM angle $\gamma$. Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9\,\text{fb}^{-1}$ collected in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of $7$, $8$, and $13\,\text{TeV}$ with the LHCb experiment, $\gamma$ is measured to be $\left(68.7^{+5.2}_{-5.1}\right)^\circ$. The hadronic parameters $r_B^{DK}$, $r_B^{D\pi}$, $\delta_B^{DK}$, and $\delta_B^{D\pi}$, which are the ratios and strong-phase differences of the suppressed and favoured $B^\pm$ decays, are also reported.

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the $\Lambda^0_b\rightarrow J/\psi\Lambda$ angular distribution and the transverse production polarisation of $\Lambda^0_b$ baryons in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The measurements are performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb experiment. The polarisation is determined in a fiducial region of $\Lambda^0_b$ transverse momentum and pseudorapidity of $1 < p_{T} < 20$ GeV$/c$ and $2 < \eta < 5$, respectively. The data are consistent with $\Lambda^0_b$ baryons being produced unpolarised in this region. The parity-violating asymmetry parameter of the $\Lambda\rightarrow p\pi^-$ decay is also determined from the data and its value is found to be consistent with a recent measurement by the BES\,III collaboration.

Abstract: The decays $B^+\rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^- K^+$ are studied using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9fb$^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions between 2011 and 2018. Precise measurements of the ratios of branching fractions with the intermediate $\psi_2(3823)$, $\chi_{c1}(3872)$ and $\psi(2S)$ states are reported. The decay of $B^+\rightarrow \psi_2(3823)K^+$ with $\psi_2(3823)\rightarrow J\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ is observed for the first time with a significance of 5.1 standard deviations. The mass differences between the $\psi_2(3823)$, $\chi_{c1}(3872)$ and $\psi(2S)$ states are measured to be $$ \begin{array}{rcl} m_{\chi_{c1(3872)}} - m_{\psi_2(3823)} &= & 47.50 \pm 0.53 \pm 0.13\,\mathrm{MeV/}c^2\,, \\ m_{\psi_2(3823)} - m_{\psi(2S)} &= & 137.98 \pm 0.53 \pm 0.14\,\mathrm{MeV/}c^2\,, \\ m_{\chi_{c1}(3872)} - m_{\psi(2S)} &= & 185.49 \pm 0.06 \pm 0.03\,\mathrm{MeV/}c^2\,, \end{array} $$ resulting in the most precise determination of the $\chi_{c1}(3782)$ mass. The width of the $\psi_2(3823)$ state is found to be below 5.2MeV at 90\% confidence level. The Breit-Wigner width of the $\chi_{c1}(3872)$ state is measured to be $$ \Gamma^{\mathrm{BW}}_{\chi_{c1}(3872)} = 0.96^{+0.19}_{-0.18}\pm0.21 \mathrm{MeV},$$ which is inconsistent with zero by 5.5 standard deviations.

Abstract: A search for the rare leptonic decay $B^{+} \rightarrow {\mu}^{+}{\mu}^{-}{\mu}^{+}{\nu}_{{\mu}}$ is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $4.7$ fb$^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment. The search is carried out in the region where the lowest of the two ${\mu}^{+}{\mu}^{-}$ mass combinations is below $980$MeV/c$^{2}$. The data are consistent with the background-only hypothesis and an upper limit of $1.6 \times 10^{-8}$ at 95% confidence level is set on the branching fraction in the stated kinematic region.

Abstract: Decays of $B_{s}^{0}$ and $\overline{B}{}_{s}^{0}$ mesons into $J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ final states are studied in a data sample corresponding to 1.9 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the LHCb detector in 13 TeV $pp$ collisions. A time-dependent amplitude analysis is used to determine the final-state resonance contributions, the $CP$-violating phase $\phi_s=-0.057\pm 0.060\pm 0.011$ rad, the decay-width difference between the heavier mass $B_{s}^{0}$ eigenstate and the $B^{0}$ meson of $-0.050\pm 0.004\pm 0.004$ ps$^{-1}$, and the $CP$-violating parameter $|\lambda|=1.01_{-0.06}^{+0.08}\pm0.03$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. These results are combined with previous LHCb measurements in the same decay channel using 7 TeV and 8 TeV $pp$ collisions obtaining $\phi_s =0.002\pm0.044\pm0.012$ rad, and $|\lambda| =0.949\pm0.036\pm0.019$.

Abstract: The first untagged decay-time-integrated amplitude analysis of $B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow K^{0}_{\textrm{S}} K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ decays is performed using a sample corresponding to $3.0\,$fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded with the LHCb detector during 2011 and 2012. The data are described with an amplitude model that contains contributions from the intermediate resonances $K^{*}(892)^{0,+}$, $K^*_2(1430)^{0,+}$ and $K^*_0(1430)^{0,+}$, and their charge conjugates. Measurements of the branching fractions of the decay modes $B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow K^{*}(892)^{\pm}K^{\mp}$ and $B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow K^{*}(892)^{0}\kern 0.2em\overline{\kern -0.2em K}{}^{0}, \kern 0.2em\overline{\kern -0.2em K}{}^{*}(892)^{0}K^{0}$ are in agreement with, and more precise than, previous results. The decays $B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow K^*_0(1430)^{\pm} K^{\mp}$ and $B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow K^{*}_{0}(1430)^{0}\kern 0.2em\overline{\kern -0.2em K}{}^{0}, \kern 0.2em\overline{\kern -0.2em K}{}^{*}_{0}(1430)^{0}K^{0}$ are observed for the first time, each with significance over 10 standard deviations.

Abstract: The ratio of branching fractions ${\cal{R}}(D^{*-})\equiv {\cal{B}}(B^0 \to D^{*-} \tau^+ \nu_{\tau})/{\cal{B}}(B^0 \to D^{*-} \mu^+\nu_{\mu})$ is measured using a data sample of proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3$~$fb$^{-1}$. The $\tau$ lepton is reconstructed with three charged pions in the final state. A novel method is used that exploits the different vertex topologies of signal and backgrounds to isolate samples of semitauonic decays of $b$ hadrons with high purity. Using the $B^0 \to D^{*-}\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+$ decay as the normalization channel, the ratio ${\cal{B}}(B^0 \to D^{*-} \tau^+ \nu_{\tau})/{\cal{B}}(B^0 \to D^{*-}\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+)$ is measured to be $1.97 \pm 0.13 \pm 0.18$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. An average of branching fraction measurements for the normalization channel is used to derive ${\cal{B}}(B^0 \to D^{*-} \tau^+ \nu_{\tau}) = (1.42 \pm 0.094 \pm 0.129 \pm 0.054) \%$, where the third uncertainty is due to the limited knowledge of ${\cal{B}}(B^0\to D^{*-}\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+)$. A test of lepton flavor universality is performed using the well-measured branching fraction ${\cal{B}}(B^0 \to D^{*-} \mu^+\nu_{\mu})$ to compute ${\cal{R}}(D^{*-}) = 0.291 \pm 0.019 \pm 0.026 \pm 0.013$, where the third uncertainty originates from the uncertainties on ${\cal{B}}(B^0 \to D^{*-}\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+)$ and ${\cal{B}}(B^0 \to D^{*-} \mu^+\nu_{\mu})$. This measurement is in agreement with the Standard Model prediction and with previous measurements.

Abstract: The ratio of branching fractions \ud R\ud (\ud D\ud *\ud −\ud )\ud ≡\ud B\ud (\ud B\ud 0\ud →\ud D\ud *\ud −\ud τ\ud +\ud ν\ud τ\ud )\ud /\ud B\ud (\ud B\ud 0\ud →\ud D\ud *\ud −\ud μ\ud +\ud ν\ud μ\ud )\ud is measured using a data sample of proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of \ud 3\ud \ud \ud fb\ud −\ud 1\ud . The \ud τ\ud lepton is reconstructed with three charged pions in the final state. A novel method is used that exploits the different vertex topologies of signal and backgrounds to isolate samples of semitauonic decays of \ud b\ud hadrons with high purity. Using the \ud B\ud 0\ud →\ud D\ud *\ud −\ud π\ud +\ud π\ud −\ud π\ud +\ud decay as the normalization channel, the ratio \ud B\ud (\ud B\ud 0\ud →\ud D\ud *\ud −\ud τ\ud +\ud ν\ud τ\ud )\ud /\ud B\ud (\ud B\ud 0\ud →\ud D\ud *\ud −\ud π\ud +\ud π\ud −\ud π\ud +\ud )\ud is measured to be \ud 1.97\ud ±\ud 0.13\ud ±\ud 0.18\ud , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. An average of branching fraction measurements for the normalization channel is used to derive \ud B\ud (\ud B\ud 0\ud →\ud D\ud *\ud −\ud τ\ud +\ud ν\ud τ\ud )\ud =\ud (\ud 1.42\ud ±\ud 0.094\ud ±\ud 0.129\ud ±\ud 0.054\ud )\ud %\ud , where the third uncertainty is due to the limited knowledge of \ud B\ud (\ud B\ud 0\ud →\ud D\ud *\ud −\ud π\ud +\ud π\ud −\ud π\ud +\ud )\ud . A test of lepton flavor universality is performed using the well-measured branching fraction \ud B\ud (\ud B\ud 0\ud →\ud D\ud *\ud −\ud μ\ud +\ud ν\ud μ\ud )\ud to compute \ud R\ud (\ud D\ud *\ud −\ud )\ud =\ud 0.291\ud ±\ud 0.019\ud ±\ud 0.026\ud ±\ud 0.013\ud , where the third uncertainty originates from the uncertainties on \ud B\ud (\ud B\ud 0\ud →\ud D\ud *\ud −\ud π\ud +\ud π\ud −\ud π\ud +\ud )\ud and \ud B\ud (\ud B\ud 0\ud →\ud D\ud *\ud −\ud μ\ud +\ud ν\ud μ\ud )\ud . This measurement is in agreement with the Standard Model prediction and with previous measurements.

Abstract: A flavour-tagged decay-time-dependent amplitude analysis of $B_s^0\to(K^+\pi^-)(K^-\pi^+)$ decays is presented in the $K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ mass range from 750 to 1600 MeV$/c^2$. The analysis uses $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of $7$ and $8$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0$ fb$^{-1}$. Several quasi-two-body decay modes are considered, corresponding to $K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ combinations with spin 0, 1 and 2, which are dominated by the $K_0^*(800)^0$ and $K_0^*(1430)^0$, the $K^*(892)^0$ and the $K_2^*(1430)^0$ resonances, respectively. The longitudinal polarisation fraction for the $B_s^0\to K^*(892)^0\overline{K}^*(892)^0$ decay is measured as $f_L=0.208 \pm 0.032 \pm 0.046$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The first measurement of the mixing-induced $CP$-violating phase, $\phi_s^{d\overline{d}}$, in $b\to d\overline{d}s$ transitions is performed, yielding a value of $\phi_s^{d\overline{d}}=-0.10$ $\pm$ $0.13$ (stat) $\pm$ $0.14$ (syst) rad.

Abstract: The charmless three-body decays $B^0_{(s)} \to K_{\mathrm{\scriptscriptstyle S}}^0 h^+ h^{\prime -}$ (where $h^{(\prime)} = ��, K$) are analysed using a sample of $pp$ collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3\mbox{fb}^{-1}$. The branching fractions are measured relative to that of the $B^0 \to K_{\mathrm{\scriptscriptstyle S}}^0 ��^{+} ��^{-}$ decay, and are determined to be: \begin{eqnarray*} \frac{{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}K^{\pm}��^{\mp})}{{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}��^{+}��^{-})} = {} & 0.123 \pm 0.009 \; \mathrm{\,(stat)}\; \pm 0.015 \; \mathrm{\,(syst)}\,, \frac{{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}K^{+}K^{-})} {{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}��^{+}��^{-})} = {} & 0.549 \pm 0.018 \; \mathrm{\,(stat)}\; \pm 0.033 \; \mathrm{\,(syst)}\,, \frac{{\cal B}(B_{s}^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}��^{+}��^{-})}{{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}��^{+}��^{-})} = {} & 0.191 \pm 0.027 \; \mathrm{\,(stat)}\; \pm 0.031 \; \mathrm{\,(syst)}\; \pm 0.011 \; (f_s/f_d) \,, \frac{{\cal B}(B_{s}^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}K^{\pm}��^{\mp})} {{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}��^{+}��^{-})} = {} & 1.70\phantom{0} \pm 0.07\phantom{0} \; \mathrm{\,(stat)} \; \pm 0.11\phantom{0} \; \mathrm{\,(syst)}\; \pm 0.10\phantom{0} \; (f_s/f_d) \,, \frac{{\cal B}(B_{s}^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}K^{+}K^{-})}{{\cal B}(B^0\rightarrow K^0_{\rm S}��^{+}��^{-})} \in {} & [0.008 - 0.051] \rm ~at~90\%~confidence~level, \end{eqnarray*} where $f_s/f_d$ represents the ratio of hadronisation fractions of the $B^0_s$ and $B^0$ mesons., All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2017-010.html

Abstract: The branching fraction of the decay $B_{s}^{0} \rightarrow D_{s}^{(*)+}D_{s}^{(*)-}$ is measured using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0fb^{-1}$, collected using the LHCb detector at a centre-of-mass energy of $7$TeV. It is found to be \begin{align*} {\mathcal{B}}(B_{s}^{0}\rightarrow~D_{s}^{(*)+}D_{s}^{(*)-}) = (3.05 \pm 0.10 \pm 0.20 \pm 0.34)\%, \end{align*} where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the normalisation channel, respectively. The branching fractions of the individual decays corresponding to the presence of one or two $D^{*\pm}_{s}$ are also measured. The individual branching fractions are found to be \begin{align*} {\mathcal{B}}(B_{s}^{0}\rightarrow~D_{s}^{*\pm}D_{s}^{\mp}) = (1.35 \pm 0.06 \pm 0.09 \pm 0.15)\%, \newline{\mathcal{B}}(B_{s}^{0}\rightarrow~D_{s}^{*+}D_{s}^{*-}) = (1.27 \pm 0.08 \pm 0.10 \pm 0.14)\%. \end{align*} All three results are the most precise determinations to date., All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/LHCbProjectPublic/LHCb-PAPER-2015-053.html

Abstract: The $B_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \phi \phi$ decay is observed in $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV. This is the first observation of this decay channel, with a statistical significance of 15 standard deviations. The mass of the $B_s^0$ meson is measured to be $5367.08\,\pm \,0.38\,\pm\, 0.15$ MeV/c$^2$. The branching fraction ratio $\mathcal{B}(B_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \phi \phi)/\mathcal{B}(B_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \phi)$ is measured to be $0.0115\,\pm\, 0.0012\, ^{+0.0005}_{-0.0009}$. In both cases, the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. No evidence for non-resonant $B_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \phi K^+ K^-$ or $B_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi K^+ K^- K^+ K^-$ decays is found.

Abstract: A measurement of the production cross-section for $Z$ bosons that decay to muons is presented. The data were recorded by the LHCb detector during $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb$^{-1}$. The cross-section is measured for muons in the pseudorapidity range $2.0 < \eta < 4.5$ with transverse momenta $p_{T} > 20$ GeV/c. The dimuon mass is restricted to $60 < M_{\mu^{+}\mu^{-}} < 120$ GeV/c$^{2}$. The measured cross-section is $$\sigma_{Z\rightarrow\mu^{+}\mu^{-}} = (76.0 \pm 0.3 \pm 0.5 \pm 1.0 \pm 1.3) \, \text{pb}$$ where the uncertainties are due to the sample size, systematic effects, the beam energy and the luminosity. This result is in good agreement with theoretical predictions at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics. The cross-section is also measured differentially as a function of kinematic variables of the $Z$ boson. Ratios of the production cross-sections of electroweak bosons are presented using updated LHCb measurements of $W$ boson production. A precise test of the Standard Model is provided by the measurement of the ratio $$\frac{\sigma_{W^{+}\rightarrow\mu^{+}\nu_{\mu}} + \sigma_{W^{-}\rightarrow\mu^{-}\bar{\nu}_{\mu}}}{\sigma_{Z\rightarrow\mu^{+}\mu^{-}}} = 20.63\pm0.09\pm0.12\pm0.05,$$ where the uncertainty due to luminosity cancels., Comment: New version in line with version accepted by JHEP.

Abstract: A search for time-dependent violation of the charge-parity symmetry in $D^0 \to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ decays is performed at the LHCb experiment using proton-proton collision data recorded from 2015 to 2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb$^{-1}$. The $D^0$ meson is required to originate from a $D^*(2010)^+ \to D^0 \pi^+$ decay, such that its flavour at production is identified by the charge of the accompanying pion. The slope of the time-dependent asymmetry of the decay rates of $D^0$ and $\bar{D}^0$ mesons into the final states under consideration is measured to be $\Delta Y_{K^+ K^-} = (-2.3 \pm 1.5 \pm 0.3) \times 10^{-4}$, $\Delta Y_{\pi^+ \pi^-} = (-4.0 \pm 2.8 \pm 0.4)\times 10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These results are compatible with the conservation of the charge-parity symmetry at the level of 2 standard deviations and improve the precision by nearly a factor of two.

Abstract: Background: This is the first record of the alien shrimp Mierspenaeopsis sculptilis in Brazil. The invasion was detected within Marine Extractive Reserves based on eight specimens accidentally caught by local fishermen using trawlnets focused on fisheries of native species. These specimens were transported to the Laboratory of Applied Genetics and morphologically identified as Mierspenaeopsis sculptilis (rainbow shrimp). The taxonomic status of analyzed samples was confirmed by DNA barcoding using a 627-bp fragment of the Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit I (COI) gene., Results: A single haplotype was recovered from the eight specimens, being identical to a haplotype reported in India, where this species naturally occurs, and in Mozambique, where the rainbow shrimp is considered an invasive species. The present analyses indicated a putative invasive route (i.e., India-Mozambique-Brazil) mediated by shipping trade., Conclusions: This study presents the first record of Mierspenaeopsis sculptilis in Brazil, in areas of extractive reserves on the Amazon coast. Notably exotic species can cause imbalance in the ecosystem, harming native species. In view of this, the registration of new invasions is essential as they contribute to the implementation of control plans., (© 2023. The Author(s).)

Abstract: Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by synovial inflammation, fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) activation and joint destruction. Fasciola hepatica is a platyhelminth that releases excretory-secretory immunomodulatory products capable of suppressing the Th1 immune response. Despite the effectiveness of available treatments for inducing disease remission, current options are not successful in all patients and may cause side effects. Thus, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of F. hepatica extract on FLS from RA patients and arthritis models., Methods: FLS were isolated from synovial fluid of RA patients, cultured, and exposed to F. hepatica extract (60, 80, and 100 µg/ml) for different time points to assess cell viability, adherence, migration and invasion. For in vivo experiments, mice with antigen (AIA) and collagen (CIA) induced arthritis received a 200 µg/dose of F. hepatica extract daily. Statistical analysis was performed by ANOVA and Student's t-test using GraphPad Prism 6.0., Results: In vitro assays showed that extract decreased FLS cell viability at concentration of 100 µg/ml (83.8% ± 5.0 extract vs. 100.0% ± 0.0 control; p < 0.05), adherence in 20% (92.0 cells ± 5.8 extract vs. 116.3 cells ± 7.9 control; p < 0.05), migratory potential (69.5% ± 17.6 extract vs. 100.0% control; p < 0.05), and cell invasiveness potential through the matrigel (76.0% ± 8.4 extract vs. 100.0% control; p < 0.01). The extract reduced leukocyte migration by 56% (40 × 10 4 leukocytes/knee ± 19.00) compared to control (90.90 × 10 4 leukocytes/knee ± 12.90) (p < 0.01) and nociception (6.37 g ± 0.99 extract vs. 3.81 g ± 1.44 control; p < 0.001) in AIA and delayed clinical onset of CIA (11.75 ± 2.96 extract vs. 14.00 ± 2.56 control; p = 0.126)., Conclusion: Our results point out a potential immunomodulatory effect of F. hepatica extract in RA models. Therefore, the characterization of promising new immunomodulatory molecules should be pursued, as they can promote the development of new therapies.

Abstract: Introduction/objectives: Clinical evidence of skeletal muscle involvement is not uncommon in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Because of the poor understanding of signaling pathways involved in SLE muscle wasting, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on skeletal muscle in mice with pristane-induced lupus., Methods: Balb/c mice with lupus-like disease induced by pristane injection were randomized into three groups: pristane-induced lupus (PIL; n = 10), pristane-induced lupus + vitamin D supplementation (PIL + VD; n = 10) and healthy controls (CO; n = 8). Physical function was evaluated on days 0, 60, 120 and 180. The tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscles were collected to evaluate myofiber cross-sectional area (CSA) and protein expression., Results: The PIL + VD group showed lower muscle strength compared to the CO and PIL groups at different time points. PIL mice showed similar myofiber CSA compared to CO and PIL + VD groups. LC3-II expression was higher in PIL compared to CO and PIL + VD groups. MyoD expression was higher in PIL mice compared to PIL + VD, while myostatin expression was higher in PIL + VD than PIL group. Myogenin expression levels were decreased in the PIL + VD group compared with the CO group. The Akt, p62 and MuRF expressions and mobility assessment showed no significance., Conclusions: Changes in skeletal muscle in PIL model happen before CSA reduction, possibly due to autophagy degradation, and treatment with Vitamin D has a impact on physical function by decreasing muscle strength and time of fatigue.. Vitamin D supplementation has a potential role modulating physical parameters and signaling pathways in muscle during pristane-induced lupus model., (© 2022. The Author(s).)

22. Taxonomy of Centropomus Lacépède, 1802 (Perciformes: Centropomidae), with focus on the Atlantic species of the genus.

Author: DE Figueiredo-Filho JM, Marceniuk AP, Feijó A, Siccha-Ramirez R, Ribeiro GS, Oliveira C, and Rosa RS
Subjects: Animals, Fishes, Perciformes genetics
Abstract: Centropomus Lacépède, 1802 comprises 13 species of the fishes popularly knows as snooks, distributed in both Atlantic and Pacific coasts of America. Despite several studies on the group, conflicting taxonomic classifications still exist, including overlapping diagnostic characters, rendering species diagnoses extremely difficult. Herein, we review the taxonomy of Centropomus to elucidate species identities, redefine their diagnoses and to assess interspecific relationships based on the examination of 376 specimens. The study included complementary approaches, as analyses of external morphologic characters, linear and geometric morphometrics, and molecular analyses. Forty-nine characters were used for external morphology, 17 discrete plus 32 linear measurements. Shape and size were analyzed through geometric morphometrics of 185 specimens in lateral view. Partial sequences of the gene cytochrome c oxidase I were obtained for 129 specimens representing 11 species. Based on the consistent results retrieved from the morphologic and molecular analyses, we recognized six species of Centropomus from the Atlantic coast (C. ensiferus, C. irae, C. parallelus, C. pectinatus, C. poeyi and C. undecimalis). Centropomus mexicanus is treated as a junior synonym of C. parallelus. Six species from the Pacific coast are also tentatively recognized (C. armatus, C. medius, C. nigrescens, C. robalito, C. unionensis, and C. viridis), however further studies on the Pacific species are still needed. Information on type material, diagnosis, distribution, and taxonomic comments are provided for each species. An identification key to the species of Centropomus is presented.

23. Use of biologic agents and risk of tuberculosis in Brazil, a tuberculosis high-burden country.

Author: Chaer FGG, de Lucena Valim JM, Reis RC, Klautau GB, and de Souza BDB
Abstract: Background: Brazil is a country with a high burden of tuberculosis (TB). The immunomodulatory effect of biological therapies is associated with an increased risk of infection. This study evaluated the frequency of TB infection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) after the use of biologic agents in a single center of rheumatology., Methods: In this observational study, 161 consecutive adult patients with RA, JIA, AS, and PsA using biological therapy were followed up during 55 months to evaluate the occurrence of TB infection throughout treatment. All patients were screened for latent TB infection (LTBI), and TB disease was excluded before introduction of biological therapy. Patients with LTBI received prophylaxis with isoniazid before the start of biological treatment., Results: Of 161 patients on biologics, 31 (19.25%) had positive tuberculin skin test (TST) and received LTBI treatment. Eleven (6.8%) cases of TB were detected in patients on biologics, six (54.5%) had AS, one had PsA (9.09%), two had RA (18.18%), and two had JIA (18.18%). Regarding the use of different biologics, six (54.5%) patients received adalimumab, three (27.2%) infliximab, one (9.09%) etanercept, and one (9.09%) tocilizumab., Conclusion: In this study, the frequency of TB infection among 161 patients on biologics, during 55 months of follow-up, was 6.8%. Compared with the national registry of patients receiving biologics (BiobadaBrasil - January 01, 2009 to May 31, 2013), a higher incidence of TB (6.8 versus 0.44%) was found in this sample of patients receiving biological therapy. This study highlights that in a country with high TB burden, the possibility of TB infection in a patient receiving biological therapy should always be considered, even after prophylaxis with isoniazid., Competing Interests: Disclosure and potential conflicts of interest: The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.

Abstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multifactorial and autoimmune inflammatory disease with pleomorphic clinical manifestations involving different organs and tissues. The study of different murine models has provided a better understanding of these autoimmune phenomena. Pristane-induced lupus represents a suitable model to study factors that could influence the induction and/or progression of SLE, including genetic factors. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the development and evolution of SLE after vitamin D supplementation in PIL model. Here, we evaluated the effects of vitamin D supplementation in model of pristane-induced SLE in female BALB/c mice. The animals were randomly divided into three groups: control group (CO), pristane-induced lupus group (PIL) and pristane-induced lupus group plus vitamin D (VD). Lupus was induced in PIL and VD groups using pristane. PIL group showed arthritis and kidney injury, characterized by increased proteinuria, glomerular mesangial expansion and inflammation. Moreover, PIL model showed increased levels of IL-6, TNF-α and IFN-γ in serum. We observed that treatment with vitamin D improved arthritis through reduced of incidence and arthritis clinical score and edema, but does not influenced renal injury. Treatment with vitamin D was not able to reduce proteinuria levels, decrease mesangial hypercellularity or IgG and IgM deposition in the kidney. Vitamin D supplementation did not alter IL-6, TNF-α, IL-2 and IL-4, but reduce IFN-γ. These results support that the role of vitamin D may be different depending on acting site, what could explain different responses according clinical phenotype. Therefore, further investigations of vitamin D are needed to explore the supplement dosage, timing, and the molecular basis in SLE.

Abstract: Context: Genomic alterations play important roles in gastric cancer carcinogenesis. Cyclooxygenases (COX) are important enzymes in the maintenance of mucosal integrity and in pathological processes, mainly in inflammation and cancer. The -765G>C COX-2 polymorphism has been implicated in gastric cancer risk., Objectives: To evaluate the COX-2 gene polymorphism as a predictor of gastric cancer risk., Methods: One hundred gastric cancer patients and 150 controls were enrolled from a Brazilian centre. Personal data regarding related risk factors, including alcohol consumption and smoking behavior, were collected via questionnaire. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and the genotypes were analyzed using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism., Results: G/G, G/C and C/C genotypes frequencies was 42.7%, 50% and 7.3%, respectively in controls and 59.0%, 34.0% and 7.0% in gastric cancer. The frequency of the genotypes differed between the groups (P = 0.033). A higher risk of gastric cancer was associated with COX-2 -765G/G genotype (P = 0.048; OR:1.98, 95% CI = 1.01-3.90). Alcohol consumption and smoking in patients with -765G/G genotype also increased the risk of gastric cancer., Conclusions: The -765G/G genotype and the -765G allele had been associated with an increased risk for gastric cancer. The presence of smoking and alcohol consumption increased the risk for gastric cancer in subjects with -765G/G genotype compared with the control group.

27. Study of the polymorphisms of cyclooxygenase-2 (-765G>C) and 5-lipoxygenase (1708G>A) in patients with colorectal cancer.

Author: Pimenta CA, Latini FR, DE Lima JM, DA Silva TD, Felipe AV, DE Lima Pazine VM, and Forones NM
Abstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Genetic alterations have been associated with an increased risk of cancer and greater tumor aggressiveness. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) genes are important in cell cycle regulation, tumor growth and prostaglandin synthesis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between polymorphisms in the COX-2 and 5-LOX genes and the risk of CRC. A case-control study was conducted in patients with CRC matched for gender and age to a control group. DNA was extracted from peripheral leukocytes, and the polymorphisms were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and gene sequencing. A specific questionnaire was applied to evaluate smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, physical activity, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use and meat, fiber and fat intake. A total of 185 patients with CRC and 146 controls were studied. The heterozygous GC genotype of the COX-2 gene polymorphism was the most common in the two groups (60.0% in CRC patients and 52.7% in controls). The CC genotype was associated with an increased risk of CRC (odds ratio, 3.63; 95% confidence interval, 1.31-10.1; P=0.013). The homozygous wild-type genotype of the 5-LOX gene polymorphism was detected in 72.4% of the CRC patients and in 71.2% of the control subjects. The homozygous mutant genotype (CC) of the COX-2 gene is an independent risk factor for CRC. No association was found between 5-LOX genotypes and CRC.

Subjects: Humans, Male, Middle Aged, Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis complications, Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell complications
Abstract: The aim of the present work is to discuss the report of a patient who had simultaneous diagnosis of two rare diseases, vasculitis related to antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Both are diseases that may be multisystemic and thus cause diagnostic confusion. In this case, the patient had renal, pulmonary, hematological, and ocular symptoms, which could be secondary to vasculitis both as to leukemia. With the aid of imaging studies, pathological studies, immunohistochemistry and immunophenotyping, we conclude that it was a combination of the two diseases. There are other reports in literature of this association, however, with pANCA positive, this is the first report of chronic lymphocytic leukemia associated with cANCA positive vasculitis.

29. DNA methylation as an epigenetic biomarker in colorectal cancer.

Author: Silva TD, Vidigal VM, Felipe AV, DE Lima JM, Neto RA, Saad SS, and Forones NM
Abstract: Sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) is a consequence of the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations that result in the transformation of normal colonic epithelial cells to adenocarcinomas. Studies have indicated that a common event in the tumorigenesis of CRC is the association of global hypomethylation with discrete hypermethylation at the promoter regions of specific genes that are involved in cell cycle regulation, DNA repair, apoptosis, angiogenesis, adhesion and invasion. The present study aimed to investigate the epigenetic changes (DNA methylation) in 24 candidate genes in CRC. A total of 10 candidate hypermethylated (HM) and unmethylated (UM) genes were identified that may be useful epigenetic markers for non-invasive CRC screening. The five genes that had the highest average UM percentages in the control group were MLH1 (71.7%), DKK2 (69.6%), CDKN2A (68.4%), APC (67.5%) and hsa-mir-342 (67.4%). RUNX3 (58.9%), PCDH10 (55.5%), SFRP5 (52.1%), IGF2 (50.4%) and Hnf1b (50.0%) were the five genes with the highest average HM percentages in the test group. In summary, the present preliminary study identified the methylation profiles of normal and cancerous colonic epithelial tissues, and provided the groundwork for future large-scale methylation studies.

Abstract: Aim: To investigate the possible association between meat intake, cigarette smoking and N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) genetic polymorphisms on colorectal cancer (CRC) risk., Methods: Patients with CRC were matched for gender and age to healthy controls. Meat intake and cigarette smoking were assessed using a specific frequency questionnaire. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and the genotypes of the polymorphism were assessed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Five NAT2 alleles were studied (WT, M1, M2, M3 and M4) using specific digestion enzymes., Results: A total of 147 patients with colorectal cancer (76 women and 90 men with colon cancer) and 212 controls were studied. The mean age of the two groups was 62 years. More than half the subjects (59.8% in the case group and 51.9% in the control group) were NAT2 slow acetylators. The odds ratio for colorectal cancer was 1.38 (95% CI: 0.90-2.12) in slow acetylators. Although the number of women was small (n = 76 in the case group), the cancer risk was found to be lower in intermediate (W/Mx) acetylators [odds ratio (OR): 0.55, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.29-1.02]. This difference was not observed in men (OR: 0.56, 95% CI: 0.16-2.00). Among NAT2 fast acetylators (W/W or W/Mx), meat consumption more than 3 times a week increased the risk of colorectal cancer (OR: 2.05, 95% CI: 1.01-4.16). In contrast, cigarette smoking increased the risk of CRC among slow acetylators (OR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.02-3.79)., Conclusion: The risk of CRC was higher among fast acetylators who reported a higher meat intake. Slow NAT2 acetylation was associated with an increased risk of CRC.

Abstract: Purpose: E-cadherin (CDH1) and metalloproteinase (MMP) polymorphisms could play a crucial role in cancer invasion. Our aim was to investigate the influence of the -160C/A CDH1, -1607ins/delG MMP-1 and -181A/G MMP-7 polymorphisms on the frequency and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC)., Experimental Design: A total of 130 patients with CRC and 130 noncancer controls were studied. The -160C/A CDH1, -1607ins/delG MMP-1 and -181A/G MMP-7 genotypes were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism., Results: Patients with the 1G allele and a family history of CRC showed a six times higher risk of developing CRC (OR: 6.45, 95% CI: 2.02-20.6, p=0.001). The A/A CDH1 genotype was associated with a higher risk of metastatic disease (OR: 3.43, 95% CI: 1.27-9.27, p=0.023). A higher marginal risk of metastatic disease was observed for MMP-1 genotypes 1G/1G and 1G/2G (OR: 2.97, 95% CI: 0.93-9.47, p=0.098)., Conclusions: The -160C/A CDH1, -1607ins/delG MMP-1 and -181A/G MMP-7 single nucleotide polymorphisms did not modify the risk of CRC development. Patients with the 1G/1G or 1G/2G genotype and a family history of CRC presented a higher risk of CRC. The AA CDH1 and 1G/1G and 1G/2G MMP-1 genotypes might be associated with advanced metastatic disease, but are not markers of lymphatic metastasis.

Abstract: Introduction: Cyclin D1 (CCND1) is a regulatory protein involved in the cell cycle. A common G to A polymorphism in the CCND1 gene is implicated on the splicing of the CCND1 transcript, and this protein may be associated to a deregulated cell proliferation., Aim: Correlate the polymorphism A870G of CCND1 to the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), to environmental risk factors and clinical aspects in Brazilian patients., Patients and Methods: One hundred twenty-three Brazilian patients with colorectal cancer were matched by age and sex to 120 healthy individuals. PCR-RFLP was performed to investigate the A870G CCND1 genotype., Results: Between the cases 70 were men, the mean age was 62.6 years, 74.78% were stage II or III, and 91% were well or moderately differentiated. The patients were followed for a mean time of 37.22 months. The frequency of ethanol and fat intake was similar among the groups. Patients with a family history of CRC had a higher frequency of CRC compared with the controls (OR 4.16, CI 1.89-9.16). There was no difference in the frequency of the alleles A (43.8% versus 43.9%) and G (56.3% versus 56.1%) in the groups. In analysis of both control and cancer group, the influence of sex, smoking, alcohol, fiber, or meat intake did not differ significantly according to CCND1 genotype. The genotype AA or AG was associated with an increased risk of CRC (OR 3.63 CI 1.25-10.5) in patients with a family history of cancer. We did not find any association among the genotypes and localization of the tumor or prognosis. Although a difference on age onset of the tumor and genotype was not observed, patients with GG genotype had a mean 8 years lower than the others. This genotype was also associated to an increase risk of metastatic disease (OR 3.47, CI 1.38-8.68, p = 0.024)., Conclusion: We did not find a correlation among the polymorphism of CCND1 A870G and colorectal cancer risk or between this polymorphism and lifestyle habits, diet, or follow-up. GG genotype patients had an increased risk of advanced disease and between the young patients, this genotype was associated to a lower mean age. On the other hand, the genotype AA or AG had been involved to a higher risk of CRC in patients with family history of CRC.

Abstract: Objective: To analyze cardiovascular mortality indicators in São José do Rio Preto--a city in the State of São Paulo, Brazil--and to evaluate the municipality's mortality rates by socioeconomic levels., Methods: Data used came from the Mortality Information System and from the Information and Computing Department of the federal governments Unified Health System (SUS). Standardized mortality rates and proportional cardiovascular mortality rates were calculated. A thematic map of the demographic census sectors of the city's urban area--grouped according to socioeconomic levels--was drawn up and is presented with the respective rates., Results: The municipal, state, and national mortality rates decreased in the course of the 1980-2002 period. The municipal mortality rate in 2003 stood at 195.9 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, with proportional cardiovascular mortality at 31.3%. The three main causes of death were cerebrovascular disease, myocardial infarction, and hypertensive disease. The mortality rate for the population corresponding to the group featuring the lowest socioeconomic levels was 40% higher than that of the group comprising the highest socioeconomic levels., Conclusion: The cardiovascular mortality rate decreased in the three geographical areas analyzed. This group of diseases was responsible for approximately one-third of all deaths in São José do Rio Preto in 2003. The area with the lowest socioeconomic level presented the highest mortality rate.
