- Abstract
Dilation and evacuation (D&E) is the recommended surgical procedure for uterine evacuation in the second trimester. Despite its established safety record, it is not routinely available in most countries around the world. In this paper, we describe the multi-phase capacity-building project we undertook to introduce D&E in Brazil. First, we invited a highly motivated obstetrician-gynecologist and abortion provider to complete an observership at an established D&E site in the United States. We then organized a month-long clinical training for two experienced gynecologists in Brazil, followed by ongoing remote mentorship. Almost all patients we approached during the training opted for D&E, and all expressed satisfaction with their experience. Despite the restrictive legal setting and prevailing abortion stigma in Brazil, our training was well-received, and we did not experience any overt resistance from hospital staff. We learned that obtaining institutional support is essential; and that presenting scientific evidence during dedicated didactic times was an important strategy to obtain buy-in from other local healthcare providers. An important challenge we encountered was low case volume given the restrictive legal setting. We addressed this by partnering with nearby hospitals and non-profit organizations for patient referrals. We also rescheduled, adapted and optimized this project for implementation in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges we faced, this project led to the successful introduction of D&E up to 16-18 weeks at two sites in Brazil. In the future, we plan additional training to increase capacity for D&E at more advanced gestational ages., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022 Stifani, Mei Hwang, Rodrigues Catani, Borges Martins da Silva Paro and Benfield.)

- Abstract
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a well established procedure with current precise indications. The advent and spread of this technique was possible after the introduction of the coronary angiogram. Although many evaluation methods have been developed in the past years, to date, none have been able to replace the invasive coronary angiogram as a pre-operative exam. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) has emerged as an alternative to invasive coronary angiogram. In this report we describe two CABG cases that were performed using only this technique as a pre-operative anatomic coronary arteries evaluation.

- Abstract
Background: The surgical treatment of patency ductus arteriosus is indicated when the clinical intervention fails. However, this treatment may have some complications., Objective: To analyze clinical and surgical aspects involved on the treatment of patency ductus arteriosus in premature newborn., Methods: Twenty two premature newborns, submitted to surgical treatment for patency ductus arteriosus from January, 2000 to June, 2006, were evaluated. There were 77.3% female patients, the mean birth weight was 952.5 g and the mean gestational age was 27 weeks. The use of vasoactive drugs, indometacin, echocardiograph parameters and complications, in the pre and postoperative periods were evaluated., Results: In this casuistic 59.1% patients needed intratracheal intubation at birth, 77.3% needed surfactants, 59.1% used vasoactive drugs preoperative. The mean doses of indometacin were 3.43, with dose range 0.1 to 0.25 mg/Kg/day. The mean caliber of arterial duct patent was 1,96 mm. The surgical procedure was carried out through extrapleural approach in 59.1% of the patients, the mean time of postoperative intubation was 30.9 days, and 50% of the patients used vasoactive drugs postoperative. There were 18.1% postoperative complications (postoperative non-fatal complications)., Conclusion: More than the half of the patients needed intratracheal intubation at birth, surfactant use and vasoactive drugs in the preoperative period. There was greater prevalence of the extrapleural approach during the surgery. In the postoperative period, there was less demand of vasoactive use and there was not deaths related to the surgical procedure.

- Abstract
Objective: A retrospective study was performed in a series of consecutive patients who underwent a Bentall and De Bono procedure., Methods: Data were removed of medical records and follow-up data were obtained from clinical records and direct contact with patients. A total of 39 patients were studied between January 1996 and December 2005., Results: The median age was 47 years (range 14-70). There were 33 males and six females. Eleven (25.5%) patients presented Marfan syndrome and one (2.5%) Turner syndrome. Nineteen (48.5%) patients had hypertension, eight (20.5%) had history of smoking, six (15.5%) had history of alcoholism, eight (20.5%) had dyslipidemia, two (5.0%) had diabetes and one (2.56%) had myocardial infarct previously. Twenty-eight (72%) patients were in II-III NYHA class in the moment of the surgery. Annulo-aortic ecstasy was present in 14 (35.9%) patients and aortic aneurysms in 16 (41%). The median time in intensive care unit was 8.79 days with range 2-23 days. Four (10.0%) patients underwent an emergency operation and 35 (90%) elective. The overall hospital mortality was 5% (2/39). The event-free survival is 94.87% at 1 year and 84.61% at in 5 and 10. The median time of follow-up was 46.5 months (range 14-120 months)., Conclusion: The Bentall and De Bono technique obtained excellent results in the short-term and long-term, which support the continued use of the compositive graft technique as the preferred method of treatment for patients with aortic root disease. Our findings confirm the current literature data.

- Abstract
Background: Secondary mitral insufficiency is a strong risk factor for death in end-stage cardiomyopathy. The possible correction of mitral regurgitation has now been accepted as an alternative to cardiac transplantation in a special subset of patients. We propose a new surgical approach that consists of implantation of a mitral prosthesis that is smaller than the annulus, and preservation and traction of the papillary muscles to reduce sphericity of the left ventricle., Methods: Between December 1995 and September 2005, 116 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy underwent this procedure, with the following etiologic factors: ischemic (68), idiopathic (43), Chagas disease (3), viral (1), and postpartum (1). The patients were analyzed according to clinical criteria, echocardiographic findings, and morphology of left ventricle., Results: All patients were in an end-stage phase, requiring >2 hospital admissions over the past 3 months, despite receiving full medication. Furthermore, seven were in intensive care unit receiving intravenous drugs or intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation, and one was in cardiogenic shock. Hospital mortality was 16.3% (19/116), yet midterm follow-up showed a relatively flat late survival curve, with evidence of improved clinical status, better echocardiographic parameters, and reduction in ventricular sphericity., Conclusions: The high early mortality rate related to other clinical conditions at the time of surgery. However, the resultant flat survival after this early interval offers a promising long-term therapeutic alternative for the treatment of patients in refractory heart failure with cardiomyopathy that is associated with moderate or severe secondary mitral regurgitation.

- Abstract
Objective: To study the occurrence and types of neoplasms developed by patients who underwent an orthotopic cardiac transplantation under the Program of Cardiac Transplantation of Escola Paulista de Medicina, Federal University of São Paulo., Methods: This is an observational study of 106 patients who underwent orthotopic cardiac transplantation from November 1986 to September 2002 and survived at least thirty days following the procedure. The triple immunosuppressive regimen given included cyclosporin A, azathioprine and a corticosteroid agent. Only two patients received OKT3 in addition to the regimen established. Mean follow-up was 61.4 months (ranging from two months to 192 months)., Results: Twenty-three patients (21.3%) developed neoplasms--56.5% of these were skin neoplasm, 30.1%, solid tumors, and 13.4% of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD). Mean interval between transplantation and diagnosis of neoplasm was: 54.9 months for skin neoplasm; 24.8 months for solid tumors and 70.3 months for PTLD., Conclusion: Malignant neoplasms are relatively common in the population studied. Skin cancer was the most common type compared to the other types of neoplasms. Solid tumors were more frequently diagnosed than the lymphoproliferative diseases in the population examined.

- Abstract
Background: Surgical myocardial revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is not new, with the first consecutive series of patients appearing in the early eighties. There has been increased interest in this alternative approach, especially in patients with comorbidities. There is controversy regarding advantages, risks, and usefulness of this method of myocardial revascularization. We herein report a consecutive series of 3,866 patients, from the first case in September 1981 to the last in November 2004, analyzing applicability, mortality, morbidity, and surgical technique., Methods: From September 1981 to November 2004, 3,866 consecutive patients were revascularized without CPB. This figure represents an overall applicability of 30.8% considering a total of 12,553 revascularization procedures performed during this time. There were 2,822 males (73%) with ages from 12 to 93 years (median, 62 +/- 14). Mean grafts per patient was 1.9, and the internal mammary artery was used in 87.3% of cases. The main indications for surgery were chronic coronary insufficiency (89% of cases) and failure of angioplasty or stenting., Results: Hospital mortality was 1.9%, with low incidence of cerebrovascular accident (5 cases in the entire series). Morbidity, considering major postoperative complications, occurred in 12.5% of the patients. The applicability of the off-pump technique was 18% of cases in the beginning of our experience, increasing to 49% in the last 5 years with the use of stabilizers and maneuvers to expose posterior coronary branches., Conclusions: Off-pump coronary surgery is an alternative method of myocardial revascularization that should be considered for every patient. The preference of this technique over conventional revascularization should be based on the surgeon's own experience, on the patient's preoperative condition and on the coronary anatomy. Off-pump myocardial revascularization represents an important development in coronary artery surgery. Over the years it has evolved into a valid form of surgery with the same safety as the conventional operation and with more advantages in high risk patients.

- Abstract
We report the case of a male patient who underwent orthotopic cardiac transplantation. A marginal donor was used, because the recipient's clinical condition was critical. He experienced cardiogenic shock due to right ventricular dysfunction secondary to pulmonary hypertension associated with vasoplegia. After the introduction of sildenafil, the patient recovered hemodynamically, his pulmonary vascular resistance decreased, the vasoactive drugs were withdrawn, and his right ventricular function improved.

- Abstract
Background: Intracoronary stents have been extensively used in percutaneous coronary revascularization. However, despite the breakthroughs and developments associated with this new technology, novel complications and findings have emerged compelling the cardiac surgeon to cope with this new scenario. The presence of an intracoronary foreign body (stent) might induce an inflammatory reaction to the coronary artery and surrounding cardiac muscle., Methods: Six patients who previously (2 to 72 weeks) underwent stent insertion and subsequently coronary artery bypass graft surgery had a biopsy taken from the grafted coronary artery distal to the stent and from the adjacent muscle. The samples were processed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin and histologically studied., Results: Histologic examination of the coronary artery distal to the stent revealed chronic inflammation and an intimal acute inflammatory infiltrate, with polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The myocardium adjacent to the stent exhibited a significant chronic inflammatory infiltrate and fibrosis, compatible with myocarditis., Conclusions: The presence of an intracoronary stent induces a persistent, acute and chronic inflammatory reaction, with involvement of the distal coronary artery and surrounding myocardium. This may have implications when choosing the optimal site distal to the stent for coronary artery bypass grafting.

- Abstract
Objective: The vasoplegic syndrome (VS) has been implicated in life-threatening complications after open heart surgery, where the whole-body inflammatory reaction is attributed to the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) has been recently achieving growing enthusiasm mainly due avoiding the side effects of CPB. However herein the occurrence of VS in OPCAB is reported., Methods: The vasoplegic syndrome usual findings occurring in the early postoperative period include severe hypotension, tachycardia, normal or elevated cardiac output and low systemic vascular resistance. Four patients underwent to OPCAB presented all the signs of VS intraoperatively or within the first 6 postoperative h., Results: The patients needed aggressive vasoactive drug support for hemodynamic stabilization and all of them developed complications. These patients also had tendency to require administration of blood and blood derivatives due to diffuse and oozing type bleeding. Mean intensive care unit stay of surviving patients was 70 h and mean period of postoperative hospitalization was 9 days. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha blood levels in one patient were elevated postoperatively though no signs of infection were observed. One patient died., Conclusions: Although vasoplegic syndrome can complicate OPCAB surgery, the rationale for avoiding CPB remains valid considering the benefits provided by OPCAB., (Copyright 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.)

- Abstract
It is well known that, subsequent to cardiopulmonary bypass, and particularly in children, an inflammatory response within the body can often result in a characteristic syndrome. Recently, it has been suggested that this phenomenon is due to a systemic inflammatory response, with significant involvement of cytokines. With this in mind, we investigated the behavior of tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 during the operative and in the immediate postoperative period in a group of children submitted to open heart surgery. We investigated any possible relation between the levels of these cytokines in the serum and the length of cardiopulmonary bypass, with the serum levels of lactate, and with the extent of use of inotropic drugs in postoperative period. The cytokines were measured in samples withdrawn after induction of anesthesia, after 10 minutes of cardiopulmonary bypass, after re-establishment of circulation, and then 2 and 24 hours after the end of cardiopulmonary bypass. The levels of tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 increased between the beginning and at two hours of the end of cardiopulmonary bypass. There was no correlation between the levels of these cytokines in the serum and the length of cardiopulmonary bypass, although there was a positive relation between levels of interleukin-6 and lactate in samples withdrawn at two hours of the end of bypass, and the measured levels of the cytokines correlated with the extent of inotropic drugs employed in the postoperative period.

Valadares, J. M. A. S. and Catani, R. A.
- Abstract
Determinou-se o zinco total, com ataque perclórico-fluoridrico e espectrofotometria de absorção atômica, em 227 amostras de 28 perfis pertencentes a 14 unidades representativas dos solos de São Paulo. O material de origem foi o fator preponderante a condicionar os teores de zinco dos solos. Os solos derivados de rochas básicas, os mais ricos em zinco, têm os teores médios ponderados dos horizontes A de seus perfis compreendidos entre 87 e 315 ppm; os derivados de materiais aluviais e coluviais, 53 e 84 ppm; os derivados de sedimentos modernos, entre 29 e 65 ppm; os derivados do arenito Bauru, entre 16 e 30 ppm; os derivados de sedimentos modernos arenosos, entre 1 e 17 ppm, os mais pobres em zinco. Observou-se boa correlação (r = 0,79**) entre os teores de zinco e os de óxidos de ferro dos solos. Determinations of total zinc, extracted with HF-HClO4, were carried out in 227 samples of 28 profiles of 14 soil units of the State of São Paulo, using the atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The amount of zinc found in the different soils was mainly determined by the zinc content of the soil forming material. In soils derived from basic igneous rocks, those richest in zinc, the weighted average contents of their A horizons were between 87 and 315 ppm; in those derived from alluvial and coluvial materials the contents were 53 and 84 ppm; in those derived from modern sediments the contents were batween 29 and 65 ppm; in those derived from Bauru sandstone the contents were between 16 and 30 ppm and in 'those derived from modern sandy sediments, the contents were between 1 and 17 ppm. A significant correlation (r = 0,79**) was determined between the Fe2O3 end the total zinc contents in the studied soils.

This paper describes the determination of exchangeable calcium in soils, by the flame photometric method. A study was made concerning the interference of several ions on calcium determination by flame photometry. Iron, aluminum and phosphate interfere, when present in concentration considered high for the soils of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. In order to compare the flame photometric method with the permanganometric method for determining exchangeable calcium, five replications of ten soils were analysed by both methods. The ions that interfere (iron, aluminum, phosphate, etc.) were separated by ammonium hydroxide and bromine and the data obtained allow to conclue that the two methods are equivalente.

- Abstract
Como contribuição ao estudo da eficiência de diversos fosíatos pura a cultura do milho no Estado de São Paulo, os autores apresentam os resultados de dois ensaios conduzidos em diferentes áreas da Estação Experimental de Pindamonhangaba, um dos quais foi realizado em 1953-54 c o outro em 1954-55. Nos dois ensaios o efeito do fósforo foi enorme, sendo que Hiperfosfato, fosfato Serrote, fosfato da Flórida e principalmente fosfato de Olinda mostraram-se muito inferiores a superfosfato. Farinha de ossos degelatinados comportou-se como superfosfato no ensaio de 1953-54, quando as produções foram muito pequenas, mas foi bem inferior a êle no de 1954-55, quando as produções foram elevadas. As a further contribution to the study of the relative efficiency of various phosphates for corn, the authors report the results obtained in two experiments located on different areas of the Pindamonhangaba Agric. Exp. Sta., State of São Paulo, one of which was carried out in 1953-54 and the other in 1954-55. In both soils, highly responsive to phosphorus, the natural phosphates Hyperphosphate, Serrote-phosphate (from Juquiá, State of São Paulo), Florida-phosphate and especially Olinda-pfiosphate (from the State of Pernambuco) were much inferior to superphosphate. Inthe first trial, whose yields were generally very low, bone meal proved equivalent to superphosphate, but in the second, which was conducted under conditions favorable to much higher yields, it was fairly inferior to superphosphate.

- Abstract
O trabalho teve por objetivo comparar a eficiência de calcários calcítico e dolomíticos na correção da acidez do solo e sua influência no crescimento da planta e na composição química em cálcio e magnésio, das fôlhas. O ensaio foi instalado com soja, em vasos de Mitscherlich e constou de oito tratamentos com três repetições. Todos os vasos receberam igualmente N, P2O5 e K2O nas formas de nitrato de amônio, fosfato de amônio e nitrato de potássio. Foram utilizados três calcários diferentes : um altamente cálcico, um dolomítico sedimentar e um dolomítico típico, em quantidades equivalentes quanto ao valor neutralizante total. O grau de finura dos materiais calcários foi dado por uma mistura, em partes iguais, das frações limitadas pelas peneiras Tyler de 65-150 e 150-270 malhas por polegada. Ao cabo de 2 meses e meio, as seguintes observações e determinações foram feitas : a) reação do solo (pH) e hidrogênio trocável; b) teor de cálcio e magnésio nas fôlhas; c) desenvolvimento da planta e pêso de material sêco. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que nas condições da experiência em estufa, com o tipo de solo terra roxa misturada, nível químico do solo empregado e com o grau de finura do material utilizado, o comportamento dos calcários calcítico e dolomíticos no solo foram virtualmente iguais no aumento do valor pH e no decréscimo de H+ trocável. A quantidade de calcário adicionada, calculada para elevar a saturação em bases do solo a 70%, elevou o pH do solo a um valor satisfatório em relação ao esperado. Quanto ao desenvolvimento da soja, os calcários acarretaram aumento de produção de hastes e fôlhas. Os calcários dolomíticos produziram maior pêso de material sêco. A study was made of the effect of three types of finely powdered limestone (calcitic, typical dolomitic, and sedimentary dolomitic) on soil acidity, on the development of soybean plants growing in treated soil, and on the mineral content of their leaves. The experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions in Mitscherlich pots filled with the "terra roxa misturada" type of soil. Eight treatments with three replications were compared. Equal amounts of N, p2o5, and K2O were added to all pots, except to one of the controls. Another control received the fertilizers but no limestone. Two levels of each of the three types of limestone were tested. The limestones were finely powdered, and a mixture of equal parts of the fractions obtained through the Tyler sieves 65-150 and 160-270 was used. The following data were taken 2¹/2 months after the experiment was started: a) soil reaction (pH) and exchangeable hydrogen; b) calcium and magnesium content of the leaves; c) growth of the plants and weight of dry matter. The results obtained indicated that under the conditions of the experiment the three types of limestone induced the same changes in pH and the same decrease of exchangeable hydrogen in the soil. Amounts of limestone sufficient to saturate about 70% of the exchange capacity increased the pH to a satisfactory level as was expected. The three types of limestone increased the growth of the plant and the amount of dry matter produced. The dolomitic limestone gave the greatest increases. For the same type of limestone the increase in dry matter was greater in plants that received the higher level of the treatment.

- Abstract
Eight extractants (0.10 and 0.50 N MgCl2; 0.10 N CH3COOH; 1% Na2EDTA; 0.05 and 0.10 N HCl; and 0.05 and 0.10 N H2S0(4)) were tested in five soil samples using two solution : soil ratio (50 ml: 2.50 grams and 50 ml: 5.0 grams) and three lenght of extraction periods (10, 15 and 30 minutes) for the extraction of zinc. The zinc concentration of the extractants was determined by atomic absorption photometry. The data obtained showed that 1% Na2EDTA, 0.05 and 0.10 N HCl and 0.05 and 0.10 N H2SO4 solutions extract more zinc tham MgCl2 and CH3COOH solutions. The solution-soil ratio showed significant effects on the zinc extraction. The length of extraction period showed also significante effects only whem the 15 minutes was compared to the 10 minutes period of extraction. Foram estudadas diversas soluções extratoras e várias técnicas para extração do zinco solúvel do solo. Foram utilizadas cinco amostras de solos do Estado de São Paulo e as determinações foram feitas empregando-se o método baseado na espectrofotometria de chama de absorção atômica. Para extração do zinco solúvel foram empregadas as seguintes soluções: HCl 0,05 e 0,10N; CH3COOH 0,10N; EDTA dissódico a 1%; MgCl2 0,10 e 0,50N; H2SO4 0,05 e 0,10N. As extrações com as soluções de HCl, CH3COOH, EDTA dissódico e MgCl2 , foram conduzidas por agitação de 2,5 e 5,0 g de solo com 50 ml de solução, durante 10, 15 e 30 minutos. Com as soluções de H2SO4, as extrações foram feitas apenas a partir de 5,0 g de solo para 50 ml de solução, conservando-se as demais condições. Os dados obtidos revelaram que de um modo geral as soluções de EDTA a 1%, de HC1 0,05 e 0,10N, e de H2S0(4) 0,05 e 0,10N, foram mais eficientes na extração do zinco do que as soluções de MgCl2 0,10 e 0,50N e de CH3COOH 0,10N. O tempo de agitação para extração do zinco durante 15 minutos forneceu resultados mais elevados (significativos ao nível de 5% de probabilidade) do que os obtidos com 10 minutos. No entanto a agitação durante 30 minutos apresentou resultados que não diferiram dos conseguidos com 15 minutos. A proporção de 2,5:50 (pêso da terra em gramas para volume em ml de solução extratora) apresentou resultados mais elevados, e significativos ao nível de 5%, do que os obtidos com a proporção de 5:50.

Neste trabalho são apresentados os resultados obtidos em solo terrq-roxa-misturada da Usina Tamôio, Araraquara, em um ensaio com diferentes fertilizantes nitrogenados. Empregando um delineamento experimental em blocos ao acaso com oito tratamentos e seis repetições, estudaram-se, em presença de fósforo e potássio, os seguintes fertilizantes nitrogenados: torta de mamona, salitre do Chile, sulfato de amônio, calnitro, uréia e calciocianamida. A torta de mamona e a calciocianamida foram empregadas nos sulcos, por ocasião do plantio, e os outros fertilizantes nitrogenados em três aplicações. Os resultados mostraram que os efeitos produzidos pela torta de mamona, salitre do Chile, sulfato de amônio, calnitro e uréia são equivalentes e superiores ao da calciocianamida, que apresentou a mesma produção que o tratamento sem nitrogênio. This paper presents the results from a fertilizer trial comparing various nitrogen sources for the sugar cane. It was carried out at the Usina Tamôio, Araraquara, on a plot of "terra roxa misturada" type of soil. Castor-oil meal and calcium cyanamide were applied at planting time. The application of the other nitrogen sources was split three times. The average yields for the various treatments were the following: Treatments t/ha Check ................................... 70.1 PK without N ......................... 81.2 PK + N (castor-oil meal) .......... 90.6 PK + N (Chilean nitrate) ........... 89.4 PK -f- N (ammonium sulfate) ..... 91.2 PK + N (calnitro) .................... 91.4 PK -(- N (calcium cyanamide) ... 82.3 PK + N (urea) ....................... 88.1 The yields obtained with nitrogen applied as castor-oil meal, Chilean nitrate, ammonium sulfate, calnitro, and urea did not differ statistically; they were, however, significantly better than that obtained with calcium cyanamide.

Nêste trabalho são apresentados dados sôbre a extração do fósforo de alguns solos do Estado de São Paulo, obtidos pelo método biológico de Neubauer e por diversos métodos químicos. Foram empregados três tipos de solo : massapé-salmourão, terra roxa misturada e arenito Bauru. As amostras de solo foram submetidas à extração do fósforo por arroz (Oryza sativa L.), usando a técnica de Neubauer, com pequenas modificações. Ao mesmo tempo o fósforo foi extraído das referidas amostras com os seguintes extratores : água distilada; solução de ácido acético 0,25 normal; solução de ácido sulfúrico 0,05 normal; solução 0,025 ncrmal de fluoreto de amônio e 0,05 normal de ácido sulfúrico ; solução 0,25 normal de ácido oxálico e 0,75 normal de oxalato de potássio. The present work is an attempt to correlate the results obtained in the extraction of soil phosphorus by various chemical methods with those obtained by the biological seedling method of Neubauer. The soil samples investigated represent three of the main soil types of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Physico-chemical properties of these soils are given in the Portuguese text. Two samples of each soil type were prepared. To one of the samples superphosphate was added at the rate of 115 kg of P2O5 per hectare before being tested. Aliquots of the two samples were then extracted with the following extractors : distilled water ; 0.25 normal acetic acid ; 0.05 normal sulfuric acid ; 0.025 normai ammonium fluoride and 0.05 normal sulfuric acid ; 0.25 normal oxalic acid and 0.75 normal potassium oxalate. Rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) were used for the Neubauer test instead of rye (Secale cereale L.) because they had been found to be more satisfactory in previous tests. The results, representing the average of three replications, are summarized in table 1. Figures in column 4 represent the differences between the phosphorus absorbed from 100 g of soil and from the blank (sand). The phosphorus content of 100 rice plants that grew in sand (blank) for 17 days was 24.5 mg of P2O5. The rice plants did not take any phosphorus from the samples of the three soil types to which no superphosphate had been added. On the contrary, in two of the three soils, the plants lost some of their phosphorus, that is, phosphorus migrated from the plant to the soil colloids and became unavailable. This fact was observed for the first time in an experiment carried out in 1945/1946 in which, using the Neubauer technique with rye and rice to study 35 soil samples from the State of São Paulo, more than 70 per cent of the data obtained was negative. Figures in the other columns represent miligrams of P2O5extracted from 100 g of soil with the solutions already mentioned. The data obtained for the samples to which no superphosphate had been added indicate that the Neubauer method gave lower results than any of the chemical methods. The results for the samples mixed with superphosphate show that extraction of phosphorus from the soil was effected in the following order : distilled water

- Abstract
Êste trabalho tem por objetivo estudar o efeito que o uso contínuo de sulfato de amônio, superfosfato e cloreto de potássio, determinam no solo. Serviram, como material de estudo, duas experiências de adubação que a Secção de Cereais e Leguminosas do Instituto Agronômico vem executando em Campinas (terra roxa misturada) e Mocóca (terra massapé), durante 16 anos e 12 anos, respectivamente. Foram retiradas amostras compostas de terra, das linhas que receberam adubo e das entrelinhas de três repetições dos seguintes tratamentos : Testemunha, N, P, K, NPK, (2N)PK, N(2P)K e NP(2K). Os resultados analíticos mostraram que o sulfato de amônio aumentou a acidez do solo, enquanto que o superfosfato e cloreto de potássio tiveram pouca ou nenhuma influência nêsse sentido. Constatou-se também um acréscimo de potássio trocável nos tratamentos que receberam cloreto de potássio e um aumento na concentração de fósforo no solo, solúvel em ácido sulfúrico 0,05 normal e de fósforo solúvel em solução 0,025 normal em NH4F e 0,05 normal em H2SO4. It is well accepted today that many fertilizers are acid forming while others are basic forming materials. Pertinent data on this subject, obtained in fertilizers experiments with corn, are reported in this paper. Two experiments are being carried out. One is located in the "terra roxa misturada" type of soil, while the other is in the "massapé" soil. Ammonium sulfate, superphosphate, and potassium chloride have been applied continuously to the same plots in these experiments for 16 and 12 years, respectively. Composite soil samples were taken from 3 replicates of each of the following treatments : check, N, P, K, NPK, (2N)PK, N(2P)K, and NP(2K). In the treated plots separate samples were taken in the rows and in between the rows. A comparison of the results from chemical analysis of the soil samples showed that ammonium sulfate increased soil acidity while superphosphate and potassium chloride did not. An increase of exchangeable potassium was noticed in the plots receiving potassium chloride, and an increase of phosphorus soluble in 0.05 normal sulfuric acid or in the mixture of 0.025 normal ammonium fluoride plus 0.05 normal sulfuric acid was noticed in the plots receiving superphosphate.

This paper describes the data obtained for the growth of sugar cane, Variety Co 419, and the amount and rate of absorption of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and silicon, according to the age of the plant, in the soil and climate conditions of the state of S. Paulo, Brazil. An experiment was installed in the Estação Experimental de Cana de Açúcar "Dr. José Vizioli", at Piracicaba, state of S. Paulo, Brazil, and the soil "tèrra-roxa misturada" presented the following composition: Sand (more than 0,2 mm)........................................................................ 8.40 % Fine sand (from 0,2 to less than 0,02 mm)................................................. 24.90 % Silt (from 0,02 to less than 0,002 mm)...................................................... 16.40 % Clay (form 0,002 mm and less)................................................................ 50.20 % pH 10 g of soil and 25 ml of distilled water)..................................................... 5.20 %C (g of carbon per 100 g of soil)................................................................. 1.00 %N (g of nitrogen per 100 g of soil)............................................................... 0.15 P0(4)-³ (me. per 100 g of soil, soluble in 0,05 normal H2SO4) ............................... 0.06 K+ (exchangeable, me. per 100 g of soil)....... 0.18 Ca+² (exchangeable, me. per 100 g of soil)...... 2.00 Mg+² (exchangeable, me. per 100 g of soil)...... 0.66 The monthly rainfall and mean temperature from January 1956 to August 1957 are presented in Table 1, in Portuguese. The experiment consisted of 3 replications of the treatments: without fertilizer and with fertilizer (40 Kg of N, from ammonium sulfate; 100 Kg of P(2)0(5) from superphosphate and 40 Kg K2 O, from potassium chloride). Four complete stools (stalks and leaves) were harvested from each treatment, and the plants separated in stalks and leaves, weighed, dried and analysed every month from 6 up to 15 months of age. The data obtained for fresh and dry matter production are presented in table 2, and in figure land 2, in Portuguese. The curves for fresh and dry matter production showed that fertilized and no fertilized sugar cane with 6 months of age presents only 5% of its total weight at 15 months of age. The most intense period of growth in this experiment is located, between 8 and 12 months of age, that is between December 1956 and April 1957. The dry matter production of sugar cane with 8 and 12 months of age was, respectively, 12,5% and 87,5% of the total weight at 15 months of age. The growth of sugar cane in relation to its age follows a sigmoid curve, according to the figures 1, 2 and 3. The increase of dry matter production promoted by using fertilizer was 62,5% when sugar cane was 15 months of age. The concentration of the elements (tables 4 and 5 in Portuguese) present a general trend of decreasing as the cane grows older. In the stalks this is true for all elements studied in this experiment. But in the leaves, somme elements, like sulfur and silicon, appears to increase with the increasing of age. Others, like calcium and magnesium do not show large variations, and finally a third group, formed by nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium seems to decrease at the beginning and later presents a light increasing. The concentration of the elements was higher in the leaves than in the stalks from 6 up to 15 months of age. There were some exceptions. Potassium, magnesium and sulfur were higher in the stalks than in the leaves from 6 up to 8 or 9 months of age. After 9 months, the leaves presented more potassium, magnesium and sulfur than the stalks. The percentage of nitrogen in the leaves was lower in the plants that received fertilizer than in the plants without fertilizer with 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 13 months of age. This can be explained by "dilution effect". The uptake of elements by 4 stools (stalks and leaves) of sugar cane according to the plant age is showed in table 6, in Portuguese. The absorption of all studied elements, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur and silicon, was higher in plants that received fertilizer. The trend of uptake of nitrogen and potassium is similar to the trend of production of dry matter, that is, the maximum absorption of those two nutrients occurs between 9 and 13 months of age. Finaly, the maxima amounts of elements absorbed by 4 stools (stalks and leaves) of sugar cane plants that received fertilizer are condensed in the following table: Element Maximum absorption in grams Age of the plants in months Nitrogen (N) 81.0 14 Phosphorus (P) 6.8 15 Potassium (K) 81.5 15 Calcium (Ca) 19.2 15 Magnesium (Mg) 13.9 13 Sulfur (S) 9.3 15 Silicon (Si) 61.8 15 It is very interesting to note the low absorption of phosphorus even with 100 kg of P2O5 per hectare, aplied as superphosphate. The uptake of phosphorus was lower than calcium, magnesium and sulfur. Also, it is noteworthy the large amount of silicon absorbed by sugar cane.

- Abstract
O presente trabalho estuda a capacidade de extração do manganês do solo, por diversas soluções, a fim de esclarecer as formas de ocorrência daquele elemento nos solos do Estado de São Paulo. Os solos estudados foram representados por três amostras de terra roxa legítima (solo oriundo de diabase), três amostras de solo massapé-salmourão (solo proveniente de gnais, xistos, granitos, etc.) e duas amostras de solo arenito Bauru (solo derivado da rocha sedimentar denominada arenito Bauru). Para extrair o manganês foram usadas as soluções : solução normal de acetato de amônio com pH = 7,00 ; solução normal e meio normal de nitrato de potássio ; solução normal e meio normal de nitrato de sódio ; solução normal de acetato de magnésio ; solução normal de nitrato de cálcio ; solução normal de acetato de amônio, contendo 0,4% de hidroquinona e com pH = 7,00 ; soluções de ácido nítrico 0,01, 0,05 e 0,2 normal. As extrações foram executadas por percolação usando 100 a 200 ml das mesmas para 10 g de terra. Foi, também, executada uma extração enérgica, usando-se H2SO4 (1+1) e HNO3 para conhecer o teor em manganês no estado de reserva. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que as soluções dos sais de magnésio e cálcio foram mais eficientes que as de acetato de amônio (sem hidroquinona), de nitrato de sódio e de nitrato de potássio, na extração do manganês. As soluções normais de nitrato de sódio e nitrato de potássio forneceram os resultados mais próximos dos obtidos com a solução normal de acetato de amônio com pH = 7,00. A solução de acetato de amônio contendo 0,4% de hidroquinona e com pH = 7,00 extraiu uma quantidade elevada de manganês, acontecendo o mesmo com as soluções 0,01, 0,05 e 0,2 normal de ácido nítrico. Os dados obtidos esclarecem que o manganês, além da forma "trocável", ocorre, nas amostras estudadas, na forma de óxidos hidratados, desde MnO.mH(2)0 até MnO2.nH2O e, provàvelmente, em outras formas. Em virtude da relativa complexidade das formas de ocorrência do manganês no solo, a extração do teor "trocável" exclusivo tornou-se difícil. Entretanto, admitindo-se como "trocável" o teor extraído pela solução normal de acetato de amónio com pH = 7,00, a solução que mais satisfez, sob cs pontos de vista de capacidade de extração e de facilidade de marcha analítica, foi a de nitrato de sódio normal. O teor de manganês extraído por qualquer das soluções dos sais de amônio, sódio, potássio, cálcio e magnésio das amostras estudadas, mostrou que a quantidade daquele elemento existente nos solos em questão é suficiente para satisfazer às exigências da maioria das plantas cultivadas. This paper reports a study concerning the extraction of manganese from several soil types of the State of S. Paulo with different solutions. The soils studied were : 3 samples of a soil type originated from gneiss, granites, shales etc. ; 3 samples of a soil type derived from basalts, and 2 samples of a soil type whose original material came from a sandstone. Manganese was extracted by percolating 10 g of soil with 100 or 200 ml of the following solutions : normal solution of ammonium acetate, pH = 7.00 ; normal and one half normal solution of potassium nitrate ; normal and one half normal solution of sodium nitrate ; normal solution of magnesium acetate ; normal solution of calcium nitrate ; normal solution, of ammonium acetate with 0.4% of hydroquinone, pH = 7.00; 0.01, 0.05 and 0.2 normal solutions of nitric acid. Also, a less soluble form of maganese was extracted by treating 1 g of soil with H2SO4 and HNO3. Magnesium and calcium ions were more effective than sodium potassium and ammonium in extracting soil manganese. Normal sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate solutions extracted a little less manganese than normal ammonium acetate solution, pH = 7.00. The neutral solution of ammonium acetate plus 0.4% of hydroquinone, and the 0.01, 0.05 and 0.2 normal solutions of nitric acid extracted large amounts of manganese showing that manganese occurs in several forms in the studied soils. From all indications it is admited that manganese occurs as divalent, tetravalent and probably, in other stages between those valences. In spite of the fact that it was difficult to determine the exchangeable manganese, it is assumed that the normal sodium nitrate solution was one of the best for extracting that content and for analytical purposes. From all the data there are indications that the soils studied are quite well supplied with manganese.

- Abstract
Native and added phosphorus were extracted from several soils samples with 0.05 N H2S0(4), 0.05 N HC1 + 0.025 N H2S0(4), 0.05 N H2S0(4) + 0.025 N NH4F and CH3COOH 0.10 N solutions, in conjunction with three solution : soil ratio, 5 :100, 10:100 and 20:100 keeping constant the lenght of extraction period for 15 minutes. The soil solution ratio showed a marked influence on the phosphorus extraction, that is, there was a decrease of 50% or more, when the ratio varied from 5 :100 to 20:100. The 0.05 N H2S0(4) + 0.025 N NH4F solution extracted more phosphorus than 0.05 N H2S0(4) and 0.05 HC1 + 0.025 N H2S0(4) solutions from the soil with pH 5.70 or less and with more than 17.0% of Fe(2)0(3)+A2O3. This point out that the anion F- allows a better phosphorus extraction from those soils. The 0.10 N CH3COOH solution extracted phosphorus only from the soil with pH = 7.10 and with 5.6% of Fe(2)0(3) + Al(2)0(3), showing that acetic acid solution did not evtract native and added phosphorus from acid soils and with a high content of iron and or aluminium oxides. A extração do fósforo nativo e do adicionado a amostras de solos (horizonte Ap) Latosol Roxo (LR), Latosol Vermelho Amarelo, fase arenosa (LVa), Podzolizado Vermelho Amarelo-orto (PV) e Podzolizado Lins-Marília, variação Marília (Pml), com diversas soluções (H2S0(4) 0,05N; HCl 0,05N +H2SO4 0,025N; H2SO4 0,05N + NH4F 0,025N; e CH3C00H 0,10N), decresceu pronunciadamente (50% ou mais), em muitos casos, quando a relação peso da amostra (em gramas) para volume (em ml) da solução extratora variou de 5:100 para 20:100. A solução de H2SO4 0,05N + NH4F 0,025N extraiu mais fósforo nativo e adicionado ao solo do que as demais soluções nos solos LR, LVa e PV, isto é, solos com um certo teor de sesquióxidos, de pH baixo, indicando a ação solubilizante do ânion fluoreto, quer pela ação complexante frente ao ferro e alumínio, libertando o fosfato, quer pela troca aniônica ou, ainda, evitando a refixação ou readsorção do fósforo extraido. A solução de ácido acético 0,10N extraiu fósforo nativo e adicionado em quantidade relativamente elevada apenas do solo Pml, isto é, com pH = 7,1, baixo teor em sesquióxidos e teor razoável em Ca + Mg, onde o fósforo provavelmente tende a integrar sistemas cálcicos. Nos demais solos, com pH baixo e teor de sesquióxidos mais elevado, a solução de CH3COOH 0,10N praticamente não extraiu o fósforo nativo e o adicionado. Os dados obtidos apresentam importância no estabelecimento de técnicas utilizadas em análises de solos para fins de fertilidade.

- Abstract
Buffer solutions SMP, diluted (1+1) SMP, diluted Woodruff (1+2), calcium acetate 0.50 - 0.25 and 0.125 N estimate very well the lime requirement to bring to 6,40 the pH of several latosolic and podzolic soil samples incubated with calcium carbonate. Twelve equations were calculated by the method of least squares for the relationship between the pH of the soil-buffer suspension and the lime requirement to bring soil pH to 6.40 as determined by incubation. Foram estudadas as soluções tampão SMP original, SMP (1 + 1), Woodruf (1 + 2), acetato de cálcio 0,50 N - 0,25 N e 0,125 N para avaliar a exigência de calcário de diversas amostras de solos. As amostras de solos foram submetidas à incubação com quantidades variáveis de carbonato de cálcio. Os dados obtidos permitiram estabelecer as curvas de neutralização e daí calcular a quantidade de carbonato de cálcio necessária para elevar o pH de cada solo a 6,40. Colocando-se as amostras de solos em contato com as diversas soluções tampão, o pH das soluções mudou de valor. Relacionando o valor do pH das soluções tampão, após o contato com as amostras de solos, com a quantidade de calcário necessária para elevar o pH a 6,40, das mesmas amostras, foram estabelecidas 12 equações de regressão, cujo coeficiente de correlação r apresentou um valor significativo ao nível de 0,1%, em todos os casos.
