Valores de DL50 em peixes e no rato tratados com pó de raízes de Derris spp e suas implicações ecotoxicológicas

Os timbós verdadeiros (plantas do gênero Derris), originários da Amazônia Brasileira, tem demonstrado importância crescente por produzirem uma classe de compostos flavonoídicos relacionados à rotenona, que possuem atividade tóxica para peixes e mamíferos. Neste estudo foi determinado a dose letal 50% (DL50) do extrato alcoólico do pó de Derris spp para três espécies de peixes filogeneticamente diferentes e um mamífero roedor (rato). As DL50 de 2,6 microgramas/ml para Collosoma macropomum (tambaqui), 4,8 microgramas/ml para Oreochromis niloticus (tilápia), 14,2 microgramas/ml para Plecostomus sp (cascudo) e DL50 de 100,0 mg/kg para Rattus norvegicus (rato) denotam acentuadas diferenças entre os valores de DL50, principalmente entre os peixes e o rato. Isto possivelmente é devido a fatores farmaco-cinéticos que se relacionam com as diferentes barreiras teciduais encontradas pelos rotenóides quando administrados pela via oral em mamíferos.

Search for squarks and gluinos in events with jets and missing transverse energy in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s-=1.96 TeV

The results of a search for squarks and gluinos using data from p over(p, ̄) collisions recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV by the DØ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider are reported. The topologies analyzed consist of acoplanar-jet and multijet events with large missing transverse energy. No evidence for the production of squarks or gluinos was found in a data sample of 310 pb-1. Lower limits of 325 and 241 GeV were derived at the 95% C.L. on the squark and gluino masses, respectively, within the framework of minimal supergravity with tan β = 3, A0 = 0, and μ < 0. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Intoxicação natural por Clostridium botulinum tipo C: em grupo de aves domésticas

Clostridium botulinum causative of toxic infections due to toxin ingestion previously formed, occur in several ingestion species, mainly birds. In a poultry farm, located at São Paulo State, more than 3,000 birds have been attacked by this toxic infections, when the birds showed motionless, loss of weight, accelerated, breathing, resulting in death of the birds. The blood harvest for attainment of the serum and later necropsy was carried out throwgh the following samples: liver, gizzard, crop, feed, water and litter. After that, the toxin was extracted by gelatin-phosphate buffer and inoculation in mice, isolation of the agent in Blood. Ágar and Reinforced Clostridium Ágar and neutralization of toxin determine its type. The inoculation in mice showed positive results in samples of liver, gizzad, crop and symptoms like was waist, and death of the birds by limp paralysis. The colonies that have been isolated, suspected of Clostridium botulinum showed expected results and further analysis revealed positive results to botulinical toxin type C. The farms have to pay attention in the routine jobs, choicer, and elimination of carcass because they are essential to keep this problem away.

Search for Randall-Sundrum gravitons with 1 fb(-1) of data from p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV

We search for decays of Kaluza-Klein excitations of the graviton in the Randall-Sundrum model of extra dimensions to e+e- and in 1 fb-1 of pp collisions at s=1.96 TeV collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We set 95% confidence level upper limits on the production cross section times branching fraction, which translate into lower limits on the mass of the lightest excitation between 300 and 900 GeV for values of the coupling k/M Pl between 0.01 and 0.1. © 2008 The American Physical Society.
