In this study were carried out toxicity tests and the evaluation of sub lethal effects of the insecticides malathion and fipronil, over the test system of Girardia tigrina, using for these analyses a great variety of methods. For evaluation of the lethal concentrations of the products, adult planarians were exposed to several different concentrations. All the tests were carried out in duplicate, maintained on the shelter of the light, on a temperature 24-26ºC and they had the duration of 96h, with observations at each 24h. The results were statically valued by the tests U of Mann- Whitney, Spearman-Karber, ANOVA and Pearson correlation. The effects over the system-test, in the different tested concentrations, varied in accordance with the time of exposition. The EC50 given by the test of Spearman-Karber was of 12,5mg/L for malathion and 13,4mg/L for fipronil. The evaluation of sub lethal effects was composed by analyses of the potential of regeneration; histological, for tissue damage evaluation; d; and the “comet assay”, for DNA damage detection. The specimens split up and exposed to the insecticides demonstrated, between other effects, retardation in development of the regenerative blastema. The histological evaluation has shown that exposed planarians to lower concentrations of the insecticides cause more significant damage against the tissues and some specific cell types. Through the comet assay, significant damages were noticed in the DNA in all the treatments, when compared with the control group. Such damages may result in reproduction and immunity alterations, which reduce the competitive efficiency and, consequently, the survival chances of these organisms.

Contamination of rivers and lakes, waste disposed by infiltration into the soil as fertilizer, for example, has been highlighted around the world, since such compounds can contain toxic elements, causing changes in aquatic and/or terrestrial ecosystem. Due to the possible presence of these elements in these wastes, it is possible assess damage to organisms exposed through breaks in genetic material and mutations. In this sense, this work aimed at exploring the cytotoxic, mutagenic and genotoxic vinasse pontential, residue used as fertilizer, from the processing of sugar cane into alcohol, using fish (Oreochromis niloticus - Cichlidae) as a test organism. The individuals were exposed to different dilutions of vinasse in the water and later carried out analysis of their erythrocytes using the micronucleus test and nuclear abnormalities associated and the comet assay. In the first bioassay, tilapia exhibited 5% and 10% vinasse concentrations died after 48h. The number of micronucleated erythrocytes was statistically significant for the 1% vinasse concentration and also for nuclear abnormalities such as broken-egg and nuclear bud, when compared with negative and positive controls; were also significant lobed type erythrocytes, when compared to the negative control. The test results of the comet assay were not significant for 1% vinasse when compared to the negative control, due to the high rate of comets with damage control, which is unusual. The same was observed for changes as notched and blebbed type. In the second chemical analyzes conducted, the detection of heavy metals in the vinasse sample, charged only the presence of copper and chromium, the latter with a concentration 89 times higher than in the first test. Differentially the first bioassay, fish exposed to dilution of 5% did not die... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Câncer é o nome dado a um conjunto de mais de 100 doenças que têm em comum o crescimento desordenado (maligno) de células que invadem tecidos e órgãos, podendo espalhar-se (metástase) para outras regiões do corpo. Dividindo-se rapidamente, estas células tendem a ser muito agressivas e incontroláveis, determinando a formação de tumores (acúmulo de células cancerosas) ou neoplasias malignas. As causas de câncer são variadas, podendo ser externas ou internas ao organismo, estando inter-relacionadas. As causas externas referem-se ao meio ambiente e aos hábitos ou costumes próprios de uma sociedade. As causas internas são, na maioria das vezes, geneticamente pré-determinadas, e estão ligadas à capacidade do organismo de se defender das agressões externas (Sistema Imunológico ou acúmulo de mutações no DNA). A compreensão dos exatos mecanismos e a tentativa de inativar genes ou impedir as ações tóxicas de substâncias contribuirá para a elucidação de diversos pontos importantes para o entendimento da carcinogênese e, portanto, para novas estratégias de tratamento e de prevenção do câncer. O presente estudo tem como objetivo, avaliar o efeito da substância pura, morelloflavona, isolada da folha de Garcinia xanthochymus, planta típica do Cerrado no Estado de São Paulo, conhecida por sua variada atividade biológica (analgésica, antibacteriana, antioxidante, antiviral e antitumoral) devido aos seus grupos de metabólitos: xantonas, flavonóides, fenóis e acridonas. Assim, foram realizados: o ensaio da Quinona Redutase em paralelo com o ensaio do Violeta Cristal para análise da viabilidade celular em células de hepatocarcinoma murino (Hepa 1c1c7); o ensaio de Sulforrodamina B para análise da viabilidade celular em células de hepatocarcinoma humano (HepG2) e o ensaio do Cometa nos protocolos de genotoxicidade e antigenotoxicidade em células...
