Abstract
It is known that patients with heart failure (HF) have an increased risk of developing central sleep apnoea (CSA), with Cheyne-Stokes respiration. The development of servo-ventilation aimed to treat CSA and improve the quality of life (QoL) of these patients. A large randomized clinical study, SERVE-HF, was conducted in order to test this theory in patients with HF and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The results from this trial seemed to indicate that, in these patients, there was no beneficial effect of the assisted ventilation in CSA treatment. More surprisingly, an increased rate of all-cause or cardiovascular mortality was observed. This has led to dramatic changes in clinical practice, with decreased frequency of servo-ventilation prescription across Europe, including Portugal, due to changes in the guidelines. However, SERVE-HF was conducted only in severe systolic HF patients with CSA, and caution must be taken when extrapolating these results to HF patients with preserved ejection fraction or CSA patients without HF. The study also showed poor adherence, methodological and statistical gaps, including study design, patient selection, data collection and analysis, treatment adherence, and group crossovers, which have not been discussed in the trial as potential confounding factors and raise several concerns. Moreover, the adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) device used in SERVE-HF was unable to lower the minimum support pressure below 3 mm H20, and this has been suggested as one of the probable contributing reasons to the excess mortality observed in this study. This limitation has since been solved, and this ASV device is no longer used. This paper describes the results of a Portuguese Task Force on the treatment of central sleep apnoea in patients with chronic HF.

Abstract
IntroductionDepression is commonly present among HF patients and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. However, research regarding its association with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class is still scarce.ObjectivesTo evaluate the presence of depression symptoms in HF outpatients and analyze its association with NYHA class.MethodsThis study is part of a larger research project (Deus Ex-Machina/NORTE-01-0145-FEDER-00026). HF patients were recruited from an outpatient clinic at a University Hospital. Exclusion criteria were: unable to communicate, severe visual acuity deficit or NYHA class IV. Sociodemographic data and NYHA class were registered. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to assess depression, with a score ≥10 indicating clinically relevant depression.ResultsA sample of 136 HF patients was included, with a median age of 59 (range: 24-81) years old, where 66% were men. Almost half of the patients (49%) were in NYHA class II, followed by class I (36%) and class III (15%). The median score of PHQ-9 was 4(range:0-18), with 26% showing clinically relevant depression. PHQ-9 total score was associated with NYHA class (p=0.001), with higher median scores in worse NYHA classes [class I: 3 (IQR: 5.5), class II: 4 (IQR: 8) and class III: 8.5 (IQR:9.3)].ConclusionsIn this study, depression was present in 26% of HF outpatients and was associated with more severe HF symptoms. Consequently, preventing, monitoring, and treating depression in the management of these patients is recommended. Further research is needed for a deeper analysis of this association.

Abstract
Introduction Heart failure (HF) is a worldwide public health problem and the main cause of morbidity and mortality in older people. Previous studies have demonstrated that psychological symptoms are associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes. Nevertheless, the research regarding the association between anxiety and HF is still scarce. Objectives To analyse the levels of anxiety in HF patients and its association with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class in HF patients. Methods This study takes part of a wider project named Deus Ex-Machina project (NORTE-01-0145-FEDER-00026). HF patients were recruited from an outpatient clinic at a University Hospital. Patient with inability to communicate, with severe visual impairment or with NYHA class IV were excluded. Sociodemographic data and NYHA class were recorded. Anxiety was assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7). Results Overall, 136 patients were included, with a mean age of 57(±13) years old. Most of them were men (66%) and married (76%), with mean education of 8 years (±4). Regarding NYHA class, 36%, 49% and 15% were at class I, II and III, respectively. The mean GAD-7 total score was 6.4 (±5.2) and 32% of patients showed moderate to severe anxiety symptoms. No association between the NYHA functional class and anxiety was found (p=0.106). Conclusions The results reveal that anxiety is frequent among HF patients. However, as found in previous studies, it was not associated with more severe HF symptoms. The coexistence of HF and anxiety deserves further studies, in order to build a better understanding of this association.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Vasodilator challenge (VC) during right heart catheterization in heart transplant (HTx) candidates is warranted whenever pulmonary artery (PA) systolic pressure ≥50 mmHg and either transpulmonary gradient (TPG) ≥15 mmHg or pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) >3 WU as long as systolic arterial blood pressure >85 mmHg. Nitric oxide (NO) remains the mainstay but in doubtful cases a 24–48h course of diuretics, inotropes and vasoactive agents may be required. Our aim is to report our centre's experience with levosimendan (LEVO) as alternative to NO in VC in HTx candidates due to advanced heart failure (HF).
Methods
VC records with either NO (20 ppm for 5–10 mins) or within 72h of LEVO infusion (12 mg/kg/min for 24–48h) carried out between 2009 and September 2018 were retrieved from the centre's database. Analysis was carried out with Fisher's exact test or Student's t-test for categorical and continuous variables, respectively, or the equivalent non-parametric test for non-normal distribution variables. Data are presented as counts and percentage, or mean ± standard deviation and median, percentile 25–75, for categorical and continuous variables, respectively.
Results
Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics from 26 patients (NO=13; LEVO=13) were similar between groups (12% female; 54±10 years of age; left ventricular ejection fraction 20±7%; BNP 1550±1090 pg/mL; 88% on NYHA III-IV). Although no differences were observed in baseline cardiac index (CI, 1.6±0.3 vs 1.4±0.4 L/min.m-2, in NO and LEVO, respectively), LEVO patients showed higher right ventricular systolic (70±10 vs 60±13 mmHg; p=0.036) and diastolic pressures (16±4 vs 11±5 mmHg; p=0.009) and lower PA compliance (0.9±0.2 vs 1.3±0.4 ml/mmHg; p=0.007) as well as a trend for increased PA wedge pressure (26±4 vs 21±4 mmHg; p=0.09), translating worse hemodynamics. Upon VC only LEVO decreased PA pressure and the increase in CI was higher compared with NO (2.5±0.8 vs 1.9±0.5 L/min.m-2, p=0.004) thus PVR reduction was comparable between groups (7.8±2.7 to 4.7±1.8 vs 6.3±2.3 to 3.6±2.1 WU, respectively). Also, only LEVO increased right (497, 387–837 to 791, 570–946 mmHg.mL.m-2; p=0.006) and left ventricular stroke work index (895, 807–1364 to 1257, 1107–2957 mmHg.mL.m-2; p=0.005) and cardiac power output (0.4±0.1 to 0.6±0.1 W; p<0.001). Increase in PA compliance was also higher in LEVO (89±98 vs 22±30 Δ%, p=0.04). On the other hand, NO increased wedge pressure whereas LEVO had no effect thus TPG reduction was higher with NO (42±24% vs 17±27% drops, respectively; p=0.022). After HTx (NO=4; LEVO=10) mortality was similar in both groups (25% vs 30%; p=1.00).
Conclusion
LEVO is a safe and effective alternative in PVR reduction for VC. Its positive inotropic effect and long-lasting hemodynamic improvement may improve clinical status before HTx and allow better scrutiny of suitable candidates.

Abstract
Abstract
The randomised controlled TARGeted Intraoperative radioTherapy (TARGIT) Trial has demonstrated non-inferiority between the novel technique of TARGIT (intra-operative radiotherapy with Intrabeam ®) and conventional whole-breast external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in women with early breast cancer, in terms of the primary outcome measure of risk of local relapse within the treated breast. As there are very low recurrence rates, cosmesis becomes an increasingly important outcome of breast conserving treatment with both surgery and radiotherapy. This study was performed to determine if the single high dose of TARGIT compared with EBRT leads to impaired cosmesis.
A validated, objective assessment software tool for evaluation of cosmetic outcome was used. Frontal digital photographs were taken at baseline (before radiotherapy) and annually thereafter for up to five years. The photographs were analysed by BCCT.core which produces a composite score based on symmetry, colour and scar.
A total of 342 patients were assessed, all over 50 years old with a median age at baseline of 64 years (IQR 59 to 68). The BCCT.core scores were dichotomised into Excellent and Good (EG), and Fair and Poor (FP). There were statistically significant increases in the odds of having an outcome of EG for patients in the TARGIT group compared with the EBRT group at year 1 (OR = 2.07, 95%CI 1.12 to 3.85, p = 0.021) and year 2 (OR = 2.11, 95%CI 1.0 to 4.45, p = 0.05).
This objective assessment of aesthetic outcome in patients from a randomised setting demonstrates that those treated with targeted intraoperative radiotherapy have a superior cosmetic result compared with those patients who received conventional whole-breast external beam radiotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heart transplantation is the treatment of choice in severe heart failure despite maximal medical therapy, which has no other surgical alternatives and exhibiting no contraindications. The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of late complications and survival of patients undergoing cardiac transplantation at our Hospital Center. METHODS We evaluated 78 patients (mean age 43 ± 15 years) transplanted at our center between February 1987 and December 2011, with a mean follow-up of 6 years. RESULTS Of late complications after heart transplantation, allograft vascular disease was detected in 10 patients ( 12.8%), was the one with impact on mortality, being responsible for four deaths. The most frequent complication was hypertension in 54.6% of cases, followed by dyslipidemia (47.4%), renal failure (47.4%), diabetes mellitus (21.8%) and neoplasms (11.5%). Atrial tachyarrhythmias was observed in eight patients (10.3%). The overall survival of our population at first and tenth year after heart transplantation was 81% and 69%, respectively. The mean survival of patients was 15.6 years (Cl 95%: [12,6-18,7]).. There were 23 deaths (29.5%), nine (11.5%) of which occurred within the first 30 days after transplantation. CONCLUSION Cardiac transplantation remains a valid therapeutic option for patients with end-stage heart disease. Our center had a heart transplant survival rate and incidence of late complications similar to those seen in international registries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In breast cancer treated with breast-conserving radiotherapy, the influence of the boost dose on cosmetic outcome after long-term follow-up is unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included 348 patients participating in the EORTC 'boost versus no boost' mega trial with a minimum follow-up of 6 years. Digitalised pictures were analysed using specific software, enabling quantification of seven relative asymmetry features associated with different aspects of fibrosis. RESULTS After 3 years, we noted a statistically significantly poorer outcome for the boost patients for six features compared with those of the no boost patients. Up to 9 years of follow-up, results continued to worsen in the same magnitude for the both patient groups. We noted the following determinants for poorer outcome: (i) boost treatment, (ii) larger excision volumes, (iii) younger age, (iv) tumours located in the central lower quadrants of the breast and (v) a boost dose administered with photons. CONCLUSIONS A boost dose worsens the change in breast appearance in the first 3 years. Moreover, the development of fibrosis associated with whole-breast irradiation, as estimated with the relative asymmetry features, is an ongoing process until (at least) 9 years after irradiation.

Abstract
Aims: The BCCT.core (Breast Cancer Conservative Treatment. cosmetic results) is a software tool created for the objective evaluation of the aesthetic result of Breast Cancer Conservative Treatment (BCCT). It makes use of a face-only photographic view of each patient and might thus have been considered insufficient for an accurate evaluation of the aesthetic result. So far, there are not many studies reporting the value of side-views in the objective evaluation of the aesthetic result after BCCT. Therefore the purpose of this work was to compare the input value of a set of asymmetry measures captured on patients photographic side-views with the aesthetic evaluation obtained by the software (face-view only) and a consensus expert panel classification.
Methods: Photographic face-views and bilateral side-views of 63 patients, taken after BCCT, were subjectively evaluated by a panel of experts (consensus), objectively evaluated by BCCT.core software (face-views only) and by an extension of the BCCT.core developed to make use of face and bilateral side-views. We captured a set of previously determined features on face-views with the BCCT.core classic software and a new set of asymmetry measurements were taken over the bilateral side-views: breast size difference, nipple distance to breast contour, nipple distance to thoracic wall, nipple distance evaluation, breast compliance evaluation and breast ptosis difference. An initial classification was given to each patient using features captured from face-views and subsequently bilateral side-views measurements were added and a final result was obtained using specific classification methods for this kind of data, namely, Support Vector Machines (SVM). The aesthetic result was classified in four classes: excellent, good, fair and poor. To test the obtained results, agreement between the consensus expert panel, face-view only evaluation and face and side-views evaluation was computed using a Misclassication Error Rate (MER) and a weighted MER. This method is based on the comparison of the classifications of the consensus (ground truth) and classifier patient result, in that zero means all classifications are correct and 1 means none of the classifications is correct; the weighted MER takes into account the fact that humans tend to use more the middle classes in detriment of extreme classes, which led us to adopt higher costs to the misclassifications of the cases classified as excellent or poor.
Results: The test results concerning the misclassification error using face-views only was 0.37 and 0.60 for MER and weighted MER respectively. With the addition of bilateral side-views the misclassification error was 0.32 and 0.53.
Conclusions: We have developed a new model for the assessment of the aesthetic outcome of BCCT, with the addition of features obtained from patients’ photographic side-views. Although these preliminary results are better, the difference between the face-view only evaluation and the face-view and side-view evaluation is not statistically significant. However they suggest that asymmetry measures captured on side-views may add some value to the objective evaluation of the aesthetic result after BCCT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The LIDO and RUSSLAN trials showed that levosimendan was well tolerated and had a stronger hemodynamic effect than dobutamine and a positive impact on prognosis. There are, however, few data regarding its effectiveness and safety when used in an everyday clinical setting. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that in day-to-day practice conditions levosimendan is both effective and safe for the treatment of decompensated heart failure (HF). This primary combined endpoint of effectiveness and safety was evaluated at 24 hours and 5 days after the beginning of the treatment. DESIGN Prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized clinical trial with evaluations at baseline, 24 hours, 5 days, and 3 and 6 months. Follow-up for 6 months. SETTING The intensive care units of 15 cardiology or internal medicine departments. PATIENTS 129 consecutive patients requiring inotropes due to decompensated systolic HF despite maximally tolerated oral therapy. INTERVENTION 24-hour infusion of levosimendan via a central or peripheral vein. MEASUREMENTS AND EVALUATION OF RESULTS: 1. Monitoring: Continuous ECG monitoring, non-invasive blood pressure, urinary output, oximetry. Invasive monitoring was not required. 2. Follow-up. Baseline evaluation: history, physical examination, ECG, 2D echocardiogram, hemogram, ionogram, liver and kidney function. 24-hour and 5-day evaluations: symptoms, physical examination, recording of medical therapy and previous 24-hour urinary output, ECG, hemogram, ionogram, liver and kidney function, and evaluation of arrhythmic episodes and heart rate and blood pressure trends in previous 24 hours. 3- and 6-month evaluations: number of hospital admissions and length of hospital stay due to HF, and mortality. 3. Evaluation of primary endpoint. EFFECTIVENESS assessed by a clinical score including 2 subjective parameters (1. NYHA functional class, 2. patient self-evaluation symptom class) and 6 objective parameters (3. body weight, 4. pulmonary congestion, 5. previous 24-hour diuresis, 6. serum creatinine, 7. oral HF medication, 8. intravenous HF medication). Definition of clinical effectiveness: improvement in > or = 1 subjective parameters plus improvement in > or = 1 objective parameters, with all other parameters unchanged. SAFETY The therapy was judged safe in the absence of any serious adverse event with a probable or undetermined causal relationship with levosimendan. Primary endpoint evaluation: Patients reached the primary endpoint when levosimendan was both effective and safe according to the above definitions.

Abstract
No other form of therapy, whether medical or surgical, has an impact comparable to heart transplantation on the quality of life and survival of selected patients with severe heart failure. In the EU and in the USA about 10 patients per million of population are transplanted each year. In Portugal, a country with a population of 10 million, 100 patients should be transplanted each year, but only 12 patients were in fact transplanted in 1999. We rank 17th, in terms of the rate of heart transplantation per million of population, among the 23 European countries with registries of this activity. This is due to structural and organizational deficiencies of three main types: the lack of professional teams dedicated to severe heart failure treatment and heart transplantation; the lack of infrastructure, particularly heart failure wards and heart failure outpatient clinics; and the inappropriate distribution of the tasks associated with heart transplantation and patient follow-up. We present an estimate of the number of potential heart transplant candidates in Portugal, based on the EPICA study and a prediction of the resources needed for a successful heart transplantation program serving a population of 2 million. This was based on what is known of the natural history, morbidity and mortality of severe heart failure, on our own experience in this field, and finally on the experience of a large international heart transplantation center. The recommendations of the British Transplantation Society and those of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of Stanford University were also taken into account.

Abstract
No other form of therapy, whether medical or surgical, has an impact comparable to heart transplantation on quality of life and survival of the patients with severe heart failure. In the EC and in the USA about 10 patients per million people are transplanted each year. Since Portugal has a population of 10 million, 100 patients should be transplanted each year. However only 8 patients were in fact transplanted in Portugal in 1998, 2 of them at Hospital S. João. We transplanted less than 10% of the predicted needs. We have the second lowest rate of heart transplantation per million people of the 23 European countries with registries of this activity. This is due to structural and organizational deficiencies which, at least in the case of Hospital S. João have a triple nature: the lack of a professional team devoted to severe heart failure treatment and heart transplantation; the lack of infrastructures, namely a heart failure ward and a heart failure outpatient clinic; and thirdly an inappropriate distribution of the tasks associated with heart transplantation and patient follow-up. A prediction of the resources needed for a successful heart transplantation program at Hospital S. João is presented. This was based on what is known regarding the natural history, morbidity and mortality of severe heart failure, on our own experience in this field, and finally on the experience of a large Spanish heart transplantation centre. The recommendations of the British Transplantation Society and those of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of Stanford were also taken into account.

Abstract
The use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), as well as of acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) in patients with hypertension, myocardial infarction or heart failure is recommended by the guidelines issued by several respected cardiological societies. However, some authors have argued that ASA may decrease the effectiveness of ACEIs by decreasing the release of prostagandins. Although such negative interaction is still not conclusively demonstrated, the merits of the use of this association should be judged in each individual patient with heart failure. It seems prudent to use low doses of ASA (< or = 250 mg/day) in these patients. ADP antagonists may constitute an alternative to ASA since they do not block prostaglandin synthesis.

Abstract
While the prognosis of patients with heart failure is related to the progression of left ventricular dysfunction and to the activation of several regulatory systems--neurohormones, cytokines and others--the symptoms relate to hemodynamic and skeletal muscle disturbances. This is why the relief of symptoms by pharmacological intervention is not always accompanied by an improvement in prognosis. Hemodynamic improvement is no longer the main issue of therapy. The antagonism of the neurohormonal and other regulatory systems, as a means to influence prognosis, stands as the main challenge for the future. Until now only ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, spironolactone, the combination of nitrates and hydralazine, and heart transplantation have achieved this goal.

Abstract
We evaluated left ventricular function by echocardiography in a prospective study that included 98 consecutive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients and 40 HIV-seronegative normal controls. When compared with controls, HIV patients showed increased isovolumic relaxation time (101+/-18 ms versus 71+/-10 ms; p<0.0001) and left ventricular diastolic diameters (51+/-6 mm versus 47+/-3 mm; p<0.0005), and decreased fractional shortening (31+/-6% versus 37+/-2%; p<0.0001). Diastolic dysfunction was the most frequent finding (63% of the patients). We found depressed ejection fraction in 31 (32%) patients. Only 8 (8%) patients had symptomatic congestive heart failure. Left ventricular dysfunction was not attributable to intravenous drug abuse or to therapy. It was less severe in earlier stages of the infection (fractional shortening: acquired immunodeficiency syndrome=30%+/-6%, asymptomatic HIV-seropositives 34%+/-5%; p<0.005) and in HIV-2-infected patients. Patients with opportunistic infections (all aetiologies mixed) had more frequent congestive heart failure than those without infections (16% of the patients with versus 4% of the patients without infections; p<0.05). The fact that even asymptomatic HIV-seropositives had signs of left ventricular dysfunction (fractional shortening: asymptomatic HIV-seropositives=34%+/-5%; controls=37%+/-2%; p<0.05) favours the hypothesis of the HIV being one of the causes of these abnormalities.

Abstract
We evaluated the effect of chronic Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) prophylaxis, with a once a month dose of 300 mg of inhalatory pentamidine isethionate, on QT interval duration. We included 22 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients: 11 were on this medication and 11 were not. The two groups were matched for age, sex and HIV infection stage. No patient had any clinical condition or was under any medication known to affect the duration of the QT interval. The heart rate-corrected QT (QTc) was obtained by averaging the observations of three independent observers. QTc duration was similar in both groups. The time separating pentamidine administration and the performance of the ECG did not influence the results, neither did the duration of inhalatory pentamidine therapy. Our results suggest that inhalatory pentamidine does not prolong the QT interval duration and so, as opposed to what has been reported concerning intravenous pentamidine therapy, does not seem to induce an increased risk of torsades de pointes.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus-infected (HIV) patients frequently present left ventricular dysfunction. Its etiology is not elucidated but zidovudine has been postulated as a possible cause factor. This study is an attempt to clarify this issue by evaluating the effect of zidovudine therapy on left ventricular function in these patients. We prospectively studied by echocardiographic examination 11 consecutive HIV-infected patients who were assigned for zidovudine therapy. We excluded patients that had a history or a physical examination suggestive of ischemic, rheumatic, congenital, or hypertensive heart disease. Patients with diabetes mellitus, excessive ethanol intake and patients on potentially cardiodepressant drugs were also excluded. Echocardiographic examination was performed immediately before the initiation of zidovudine therapy and 1 and 3 months later. Left ventricular diameters, mass and fractional shortening showed no significant difference from baseline, at 1 or 3 months after the initiation of zidovudine therapy. Our results suggest that zidovudine therapy has no effect on left ventricular diameters, mass or fractional shortening during a short term.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the cardiac involvement in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. DESIGN Prospective and normal individuals group controlled study. SETTING The departments of cardiology and infectious diseases of an university hospital. PATIENTS 137 consecutive HIV infected patients at all stages of the infection and 40 normal noninfected controls. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Clinical and echocardiographic evaluation was performed. Cardiac symptoms were observed in 10 (7.3%) patients, manifested as congestive heart failure. The global HIV infected population had increased left ventricular (LV) dimensions and wall thickness and decreased LV fractional shortening and ejection fraction when compared with the control population. Seven (5.1%) patients had dilated cardiomyopathy, 9 (6.5%) had global LV hypokinesis with or without LV dilatation and 17 (12.4%) had segmental LV wall motion abnormalities. Right ventricular dilatation was present in 23 (16.8%). Mitral or tricuspid regurgitation of a moderate or severe degree was found in 3 (2.2%) patients. No valvular vegetations were found. Fifty nine (43.1%) patients presented a pericardial effusion. An echocardiogram with at least one abnormality was observed in 104 (75.9%) and a severely abnormal echocardiogram in 34 (24.8%). The presence of cardiac symptoms and of abnormal and severely abnormal echocardiograms was more frequent in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome than in asymptomatic HIV infected patients. When comparing HIV-1 with HIV-2 populations the first showed increased LV systolic and diastolic diameters and LV mass index. There was no statistically significant difference between all risk behavior groups regarding the frequency of cardiac symptoms or the echocardiographic abnormalities found. HIV infected patients with CD4+ lymphocytes counts < or = 100/mm3 had more frequent abnormal and severely abnormal echocardiograms than those with CD4+ lymphocytes counts > 100/mm3. CONCLUSIONS Although cardiac symptoms were rare in our population, subclinical cardiac involvement detected by echocardiography was frequent and could involve any cardiac layer. It was not influenced by the patients' risk behavior. The left ventricular trophic response observed in HIV-2 infection seemed less intense than that in HIV-1 infection. Cardiac involvement was more frequent in the more advanced stages of the infection and in patients with lower CD4+ lymphocyte counts.

Abstract
Mutagenesis induced by several genotoxic agents has been reported to be inhibited by cobaltous chloride. In order to study the effects of this metal in some SOS functions we evaluated mutagenesis, lysogenic induction and phage reactivation in Escherichia coli cells treated with CoCl2. We detected that cobaltous chloride, when present in the plating medium, was able to block mutagenesis and lysogenic induction promoted by UV irradiation. We also found that CoCl2 blocked protein synthesis, so we propose that this effect can be responsible for the antimutagenic and antilysogenic effects of this metal. On the other hand, if the cells were treated for a short period of time with CoCl2, in the absence of Mg, we observed that cobaltous chloride per se was able to promote lysogenic induction as well as to enhance the phage reactivation induced by UV irradiation. We conclude that depending on experimental conditions, cobaltous chloride may act either as an inhibitor or as an inducer of the SOS functions.
