          Abstract

          Usando os dados reportados em artigos publicados em revistas brasileiras e trabalhos apresentados em congressos nacionais, replicaram-se as aplicações da Lei de Lotka à literatura brasileira em 10 campos diferentes. Utilizou-se o modelo do poder inverso pelos métodos do mínimo quadrado e probabilidade máxima. Das 10 literaturas nacionais analisadas, somente a literatura de medicina, siderurgia, jaca e biblioteconomia ajustaram-se ao modelo do poder inverso generalizado pelo método dos mínimos quadrados. No entanto, só duas literaturas (veterinária e cartas do Arquivo Privado de Getúlio Vargas) não se ajustaram ao modelo quando se usou o método da máxima probabilidade. Para ambas literaturas, tentaram-se modelos diferentes. A literatura de veterinária ajustou-se à distribuição binomial negativa, e as cartas do Arquivo Privado de Getúlio Vargas ajustaram-se melhor à distribuição Gauss-Poisson Inversa Generalizada.

          Translated abstract

          Lotka's law, previously applied to Brazilian national literature on ten different areas, were replicated. Minimum square and maximum likelihood estimators were used. From those ten national literatures analyzed, only literatures in medicine, iron & steel, jackfruit, and library science did fit the generalized inverse power model when the method of minimum squared were used. All of them but two literatures (Veterinary and Getúlio Vargas' private letters) did not fit the inverse power model when the maximum likelihood estimator were used. For these literatures different models were tested. Veterinary literature did fit better to the negative binomial distribution, and Getúlio Vargas' private letters did fit better to the Gaussian-Poisson Inverse Generalized distribution.

            Pathologic fibrosis and connective tissue matrix in left ventricular hypertrophy due to chronic arterial hypertension in humans.

            To investigate pathologic fibrosis and connective tissue matrix in left ventricular hypertrophy due to chronic arterial hypertension in humans. Seventeen human hearts were studied. Group 1 consisted of control hearts (four hearts, weighing 280 +/- 40 g each), from subjects who had had no evidence of heart disease and for whom the diagnoses of death were noncardiac. Groups 2 (five hearts, weighing 440 +/- 50 g each), 3 (five hearts, weighing 560 +/- 50 g each), and 4 (three hearts, weighing 680 +/- 60 g each) consisted of hearts from subjects who had had a history of systemic hypertension. All hearts had no valvular deformities and no evidence of ischemic disease at the postmortem examination. A cell-maceration method was employed to evaluate the myocardial connective matrix after removal of the nonfibrous elements of myocardial tissue, leaving behind a noncollapsed matrix, thus allowing a better three-dimensional view. Myocardial tissue was also processed for conventional light microscopic and morphometric studies. The minor transverse diameter of myocytes from hearts in groups 1-4 hearts were 13.7 +/- 7.8, 23.7 +/- 3.4, 26.6 +/- 3.7, and 32.8 +/- 5.8 microm, respectively. The volume fraction of fibrosis of the controls was 6.5%, whereas the volume fractions in hypertensive hearts increased progressively according to heart weight: 15.4, 22.9, and 31.1% for hearts in groups 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The most striking feature was the diffuse marked increase in amount of pericellular collagen weave fibers (endomysial matrix), parallel to the increase of heart weight. The hypertrophied myocytes were encased in a dense weave of collagen fibrils continuous with those of adjacent myocytes. The muscle fibers in hypertrophied hearts were markedly larger than normal, although this was extremely variable from an area to another. Besides, a diffuse increase in the number of thick collagen fibers constituting broad bands and sheets of collagen surrounding disorganized muscle bundles (perimysial matrix) was observed. Scattered dense scar-like foci, apparently replacing areas of myocyte loss, could be seen, mainly on the periphery of muscle bundles. This latter finding was more commonly observed among hypertrophied hearts from group 3 and, mainly, among hypertrophied hearts of group 4. Importantly, a progressive disarray of the connective tissue skeleton of the myocardium could be seen in parallel to the progressive increase of cardiac hypertrophy. The progressive accumulation of interstitial collagen fibers in left ventricular hypertrophy, in parallel to an increase in heart weight, can be expected to contribute to a spectrum of ventricular dysfunction involving either the diastolic or systolic phase of the cardiac cycle, or both, that is associated with the greater than normal arrhythmogenic risk for a hypertensive heart. Moreover, the methodology used is useful for studying the spatial organization of the collagen fibrils of the myocardium under normal and pathologic conditions.
