Oxidative stress is related with physiopathology of diabetes mellitus type II and with its secondary complications, such as diabetic nephropathy. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of n-acetylcysteine NAC, an antioxidant from Allium cepa, on oxidative stress, morphometrical and nutritional parameters and basal metabolism and energetic substrate utilization, serum glucose and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and renal function of high-sucrose intake rats. Animals were initially divided into three groups. Rats in the control group (C; n=10) were given free access to a standard chow and water; (S; n=10) group received standard chow and 30% sucrose in its drinking water; (SN; n=5) group received standard chow and 2g/L NAC and 30% sucrose in its drinking water. After 25 days of treatments, rats were submitted to indirect calorimetry in fasted and feed states. After 30 days of treatments, rats from C and S groups were divided into four groups of five rats each. The (CC) and (SS) groups were given an intra-gastric dose 0,6mL saline (0,9%NaCl) and the (CNAC) and (SNAC) groups were treated with a intra-gastric dose of 0,6mL NAC (160g/day), and then everybody received a intra-gastric dose of glucose solution (20%) for the OGTT. Animals of S and SN groups have higher liquid consumption and lower food consumption than C group. Calorimetric analyses confirm that despite of the final body weight had not statistical difference among groups, S group have lower resting metabolic rate when compared to C and SN animals. Besides, S group has higher respiratory quotient, higher carbohydrate oxidation and lower lipid oxidation, both in fasted and feed states, than C and SN groups, evidencing the beneficial effect of NAC. Fasting plasma glucose is increased in SS and SNAC animals when compared to CC and CNAC, however SN group has glicemic level at 30 min before OGTT decreased when ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The genus Mycobacteriumhas two different complexes: M. tuberculosis Complex and M. avium Complex. This is a global health epidemic and remains a major global health problem, besides, the clinical severity of TB is significantly higher in transplanted patients. The detection of these mycobacteria complexes in transplanted patients, by molecular methods, is fundamental for quick treatment of patients and can contribute for rapid and accuracy of diagnosis. Objective: To detect mycobacteria DNA of M. tuberculosis and M. avium Complexes in formalin fixed paraffin-embedded samples (FFPE) of two patients groups: non transplanted and transplanted. Materials and Methods: The study includes 40 FFPE biopsies separated in four groups: NTP – presence of epithelioid granuloma and positive ZN, non-transplanted patients – 9 samples; NTN - presence of epithelioid granuloma and negative ZN, non-transplanted patients – 10 samples; TP – positive ZN, transplanted patients – 9 samples; TN – negative ZN, transplanted patients – 7 samples. Sections were cut for DNA extraction. Samples were submitted to PCR for amplification of: a) β-actin, b) IS6110 insertion and c) IS1245 insertion. DNA evaluation was made by spectrophotometry and efficiency and PCR analysis was made by agarose gels under UV light. Results: In all samples processed, 97.1% were positive for human β-actin gene. In22.2% of NTP group were found the IS6110 insertion sequencebut the IS1245 wasn´t. In the NTN group was not found any sequence. In theTP group, 11.1% of the samples were positive for IS6110 and also 11,1% werepositive for IS1245. In the TN group, 14.3% of the samples were positive forIS6110 and for IS1245, 14.3% was also positive. Conclusion: Although factors such as DNA degradation after formalin fixation and paraffin embedding, were possible to detect DNA from the human gene ...

The tanning wastes are characterized to be significant sources of pollution in the hydrosphere when non adjusted or disposed adequated form. That happens because this industry type uses the chromium to tan hides, and this element is present in discharges concentrations in final wastes, characterizing this waste type as dangerous, according to the Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas, através da Norma Brasileira 10.004 de 2004. Due to this, the research proposes a form to reduction chromium of the tanning wastes through the process of adsorption. For that were used mining-wastes of Corumbataí Formation clays, material commonly used in the production of ceramic products in Rio Claro (SP). They were accomplished laboratory essays that involved the preparation of different clays pulps and subsequent mixture of these with the tanning wastes, maintaining them under different mixing times and adsorption contacts. After the separation of the mixtures, the leached were chemically analyzed and it was seen the efficiency of chromium reduction and your relationship with the variation of different times of contact clays/wastes and different grain sizes used in the pulps preparation.

A insuficiência renal aguda (IRA) é uma patologia que apresenta alta incidência na população e elevada morbimortalidade. Apesar de todos os avanços terapêuticos já obtidos, essas taxas ainda continuam elevadas. Uma possível alternativa, atualmente sugerida, seria o transplante de células-tronco. O processo regenerativo das células-tronco mesenquimais (CTMs) já foi demonstrado em diversos modelos experimentais e em alguns ensaios clínicos. O mecanismo de ação mais sugerido é a ação parácrina das CTMs na área lesada. Ainda, sabe-se que nesse ambiente, citocinas pró-inflamatórias, como TNF-α e IFNγ, ativam as CTMs para seu papel reparador. O presente estudo busca analisar o papel do IFNγ na ativação das CTMs em modelos renais. As CTMs de animais nocautes para receptor de IFNγ (IFNγR KO) e de animais selvagens (controle/ C57/Bl6) foram isoladas do tecido adiposo. Essas células foram caracterizadas por imunofenotipagem e diferenciação em adipócitos e osteócitos. A lesão renal aguda foi obtida através do clampeamento dos pedículos renais de camundongos machos C57/Bl6, por 45 min. Após 4hs da lesão isquêmica, as CTMs IFNγR KO e CTMs controles foram administradas intraperitonealmente, e 24hs após a cirurgia os animais foram sacrificados. O tratamento com CTMs selvagens apresentou significativa redução dos níveis de uréia e creatinina sérica. No entanto, a redução desses níveis séricos com CTMs IFNγR KO foi menos intensa. Com relação à análise da resposta inflamatória do rim, os dados demonstram que a expressão de RNAm de IL-6 é maior nos animais tratados com CTMs IFNγR KO quando comparada ao tratamento com CTMs selvagens; porém, os dois tratamentos apresentam expressão reduzida em comparação aos animais não tratados. Já a expressão de RNAm de IL-10 é maior em animais tratados com CTMs em comparação aos não tratados... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar o efeito da adição de um prebiótico nas características de crescimento, resistência às condições do trato gastrintestinal e remoção de colesterol in vitro, das cepas de Enterococcus faecium CRL183 e Lactobacillus helveticus 416. A fonte de prebiótico foi composta por Inulina GR – Orafti, sendo testadas as seguintes concentrações: 1,0%, 2,0%, 3,0%; 4,0%; 5,0% e 6,0% p/v). Para a avaliação da resistência às condições do trato gastrintestinal, os microrganismos foram colocados em contato com um fluido gástrico simulado por 2 horas (9g/L de NaCl, 3g/L de pepsina, pH 1,8) e com um fluido intestinal simulado por 3 horas (0,9g/L de pancreatina, 12,5g/L de bicarbonato de sódio e 6,0 g/L de Oxgall). Após o período de contato com os fluidos, foram realizadas diluições seriais e plaqueamento em meios específicos. No estudo de redução de colesterol, meios de cultura contendo inulina e colesterol (1%) foram inoculados com as cepas probióticas e incubados em anaerobiose a 37°C/24h. A capacidade de redução do colesterol foi determinada pela diferença entre a concentração de colesterol adicionada ao meio de cultura e a de colesterol residual. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância e teste de médias de Tukey (p≤0,05). A adição de inulina não resultou em alteração no ciclo logarítmico de crescimento dos microrganismos. Porém, quando os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística, constatou-se que a adição de 1% a 4% de inulina inibiu o crescimento de Lactobacillus helveticus 416, sendo que para as concentrações de 5% a 6% estas alterações não foram perceptíveis. A cepa de Enterococcus faecium CRL 183 apresentou crescimento superior na presença de 2% e 4% de inulina. Após o contato com o fluido gástrico simulado, observou-se redução de 1 ciclo logarítmico no crescimento da cepa... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

This work aimed to develop a biological system for removal of ammonia nitrogen operating at low concentrations of dissolved oxygen. Thus, a biological upflow vertical reactor was built, in which the affluent pass through the support media until the top. Sludge from an anaerobic stabilization pond of a slaughterhouse unit in the city of Presidente Prudente - SP was used as inoculum. Initially the system operated in batch and afterwards in a continuous flow with different HRT. For feeding the reactor, an initial phases was adopted a synthetic culture media, described by Martins (2007), in order to establish the ideal conditions for the development of Anammox bacteria and subsequently, submitted to the system a slugde effluent of slaughterhouse. The results showed significant removal efficiency of N-NH4+, especially in the phase without recirculation of culture media, with an average of 71% removal, with the proportion of removal of N-NH4 +:N-NO2- average 1: 1,69. For the period of operation with effluent from the slaughterhouse, were not obtained satisfactory results, without confirmation of the proliferation of Anammox bacteria in the system, due to the high presences of organic matter in the same confirmed by high concentrations of COD

O Agaricus balzei Murrill (ABM), comumente conhecido como cogumelo-do-sol, tornou-se popular, devido sua utilização no tratamento de diversas doenças, uma vez que a populaçao em geral lhe atribui diversos efeitos benéficos. Sendo assim, o cogumelo em questão é bastante estudado pelos pesquisadores, na tentativa de validar esses possíveis efeitos medicinais. O presente trabalho pretendeu avaliar os efeitos renais e adicionalmente os parâmetros cardiovasculares, analisando os efeitos do extrato aquoso de ABM em ratos Wistar in vivo. Estes estudos foram realizados em gaiolas metabólicas e os animais divididos em dois grupos: controle (n=8), onde os ratos recebiam uma picada para simular a injeção e experimental (n=10),onde os ratos recebiam 1mL de extrato aquoso à 2% por via intraperitoneal, ao longo do período tratado. Foram avaliados: o fluxo urinário de 24h, carga excretada de sódio (Qe Na+) e carga excretada de potássio (Qe K+) durante o período basal (30dias) e o período tratado (60 dias). Já os parâmetros cardiovasculares foram mensurados (com o sistema BIOPAC), ao fim do período de 60dias de tratamento. Por meio destas análises foi possível registrar uma queda aguda de pressão arterial nos ratos do grupo experimental, durante 15min, nesses ratos. Também foram observadas as respostas barorreflexas e a resposta bradicárdia foi menos acentuadas no grupo experimetal após a administração de fenilefrina (5μg/kg) em comparação ao grupo controle (p<0,05). Os resultados de fluxo urinário de 24h, Qe Na+ e Qe K+ demostraram que o extrato aquoso de ABM foi capaz de promover um aumento significativo (p<0,05) de 36%, 20% e 22%, respectivamente. Os resultados aqui apresentados, indicam que esse extrato tem princípios ativos natriuréticos e, além disso, o extrato apresentou uma redução acentuada após 15min da injeção...

The pyogenic granuloma, a lesion considered hyperplastic regenerative inflammatory reaction is a finding commonly found in the oral cavity, affecting large numbers of individuals, being more prevalent in females. But its pathogenesis is not well defined and may be associated with numerous factors that stimulate tissue proliferation. Correct diagnosis and treatment plan are essential for success in approach, restoring function and aesthetics to the periodontal tissues. In agreement with the literature, the most common treatment and greater predictability is surgical removal, which involves resection of the lesion, together with its base inserted into the underlying tissue, periosteum and bone tissue. However, the excision can promote aesthetic defects, particularly in anterior regions where it is most affected. This article reports on the importance of a correct surgical approach for removal of pyogenic granuloma in the region of the interdental papilla between teeth 42 and 43, resulting in a good anatomical result and aesthetic.
