Fertilização e desenvolvimento embrionário: Morfometria e análise estereomicroscópica dos ovos dos híbridos de surubins (pintado, Pseudoplatystoma corruscans x cachara, Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum)

This study aimed to analyze the morphometry of hybrids' eggs under stereomicroscopy. The induced reproduction was carried out in specimens of pintado's females (P. corruscans) and cachara's males (P. fasciatum) from Cepta - Ibama, Pirassununga, state of São Paulo, Brazil. Samples were collected in extrusion moment, during the fertilization, in times of 10 and 30 seconds, 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 45 minutes, 1 hour, at every 15 minutes until completing 2 hours, and afterwards, at every hour until the larval hatching. Oocytes and eggs' external morphology were observed, photographed and 30 samples from each moment were measured in stereomicroscopy. Oocytes, in the time of extrusion, and the eggs presented a spherical form and yellowish color. Characteristics such as wide perivitelinic space, somites, presence of optical vesicle and the main phases of embryonic development as egg-cell (blastodisc), 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 blastomeres, morula, blastula, gastrula, epiboly movements, formation and larvae hatching were verified.

Efeito do praziquantel incorporado a lipossomas nos diferentes estágios de desenvolvimento dos ovos de Schistosoma mansoni

Mansonian schistosomiasis is caused by an intravascular digenetic trematode Schistosoma mansoni. Praziquantel (PZQ) and oxamniquine (OXA) are the drugs of choice for the treatment of this disease. However, both drugs are subject to some limitations in their action and cases of tolerance and resistance have been reported. Moreover, tolerance and resistance cases have been reported. For this reason, there is an urgent need for research on new alternatives aimed at improving the action of existing drugs, such as the incorporation of these drugs into liposomes. In this study, the efficiency of action of liposome- encapsulated praziquantel (lip.PZQ) on oviposition by S. mansoni, strain BH, was assessed in Mus musculus mices (SPF Swiss mice). Four PZQ and lip.PZQ doses (47; 60; 250 e 300mg/kg) were tested. Some mice were treated 30 days post-infection and others after 45 days. The oogram analyses showed that the most effective lip.PZQ treatment was 300mg/kg dose given on the 45th day post infection, which reduced the number of S. mansoni eggs per gram of tissue.

Morfologia do epidídimo de cobaio (Cavia porcellus) em diferentes fases do desenvolvimento pós-natal

The morphological evolution of the epididymal duct of guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus, L.) was studied on 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 70, 90 and 100 days of age, being complex, which is due to the proper differentiation postnatal in the epididymal epithelium. Thus, it was observed that the initial segment of the epididymis reveals an increase of epithelial height corresponding to the average height of the main tubular epithelium cells, generally progressive after 45 days of age. The epithelial height in the middle segment were higher in younger stages (10 to 45 days) than in the prepubertal age (60 days), and have a decrease among 70 to 100 days of age. The ductular terminal segment starts a gradual decrease of the epithelial heights from puberal age (70 days), until adult age (90 to 100 days). In addition, this segment showed epithelial waviness that disappeared after 70 days of age, when the lumen fills it with sperm and cellular exfoliation. The cell types of the epididymal tubular epithelium, principal cells, basal cells and apical cells, were observed in all ages. In the epididymis of very young animals, there was a predominance of undifferentiated columnar cells. After 20 days of age, there was natural prevalence of the principal cells on other cell types, what is a feature similar to other mammals.
