O veneno bruto de abelha Apis mellifera é composto por uma série de peptídeos, entre eles a melitina, adolapina, procamina A e B, apamina, tertiapina, secapina, peptídeos desgranuladores de mastócitos, entre outros. Estas substâncias apresentam diversos efeitos já estudadas, dentre elas, efeitos antitumorais, atividades hiperalgésicas ou analgésicas, inflamatórias ou anti-inflamatórias. O peptídeo secapina foi descrito há 35 anos atrás e, posteriormente nada mais foi relatado na literatura. Portanto, este é o primeiro trabalho que visa caracterizar o possível efeito hiperalgésico e/ou analgésico, inflamatório e/ou antiinflamatório, bem como analisar alguns dos mecanismos envolvidos nestes fenômenos. Para tanto, para caracterizar os possíveis efeitos hiperalgésicos/analgésicos da secapina, em diversas doses (0,005, 0,35, 1, 2, 10 e 30 μg / 50 μL), foi utilizado o teste de avaliação da sensibilidade dolorosa denominado teste do von Frey eletrônico. Para a caracterização do efeito inflamatório/anti-inflamatório da secapina foi utilizado o paquímetro digital determinando o volume da pata dos animais. Para investigar os possíveis mecanismos envolvidos nestes efeitos, foram realizados tratamentos farmacológicos utilizando indometacina, zileuton e zafirlikaste (inibidores da síntese da via da cicloxigenase, lipoxigenase e antagonista de receptor de leucotrieno, respectivamente). Os resultados mostraram que a secapina, em todas as doses testadas, induziu efeito hiperalgésico a partir dos primeiros 15 minutos após a administração deste peptídeo. Este efeito hiperalgésico persistiu por até 240 minutos nas doses de 0,005 e 0,35 μg/ 50μL e 480 minutos nas doses de 1 e 2 μg/ 50μL. O efeito edematogênico da secapina na dose de 0,35 μg/50 μL foi iniciado nos primeiros 15 minutos após a administração da secapina e persistiu por até 120 minutos, sendo...

The equine anesthesia is proven to be a high risk procedure, for both patient and anesthetist, compared to other animal species. In these conditions, a good anesthetic protocol that can deliver sedation, making access and manipulation easier, analgesia fair enough to realize cirurgical procedures, and minimal physiologic changes would be ideal. Since there aren’t any drugs suporting all these qualities, the Neuroleptoanalgesic Associations show themselves as a valuable technique to provide anesthetic quality and safety, possibly diminishing our drug of choice’s doses, therefore offering less fisiological changes and easier monetary access in some cases. This paper objective was to list all these associations found in literature, evaluating their advantages and practical applications

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by accumulation of lipid and fibrous components in arterial vessels, giving rise to atheromas. Development of Atheromatou plaques leads to arterial steatosis, triggering ischemic events. Atherotrombosis has a strong correlation with atherosclerosis, where rupture of atheromatous plaques cause release of vessel wall's pro-thrombotic components, activating platelet aggregation and thromosis. Due to the major role played by platelets on thrombus-embolic conditions, drugs that inhibit platelet aggregation demonstrate great relevance for atherothrombosis prevention, reducing patient mortality. Currently, there are a variety of drugs acting on several different targets, preventing platelet activation. However, these therapies demosntrate side effects such as thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, hemorrhage and low oral availability. Thus, the application of molecular modifications such as hybridization can produce novel, more efficient antiplatelet aggregation inhibitors. In this project we describe the synthesis and characterization of novel N-acilhydrazone compounds, acting through multiple mechanisms such as platelet calcium chelation and nitric oxide donation by furoxanic subunits. Furthermore, we demonstrate that such compounds exhibit biological activity in in vivo bleeding time, in vitro antiplatelet aggregation and in vivo antinociceptive assays. Therefore, novel N-acilhydrazone compounds demonstrate potential as antiplatelet drugs for atherothrombosis prevention.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the benefit and specifically the feasibility of using ultrasound in ophthalmologic periconal block, and the occurrence of complications.Study designProspective experimental study.AnimalsTen healthy New Zealand White rabbits (6-8months of age), weighing 2.0-3.5kg.MethodsRabbits were anesthetized by intramuscular injection of acepromazine (1mgkg(-1)), ketamine (30mgkg(-1)) and xylazine (3mgkg(-1)). Ultrasound-assisted periconal block with lidocaine was performed on 18 eyes. Intraocular pressure was measured by applanation tonometry whereas corneal sensitivity was assessed using an esthesiometer, before and after each periconal anesthesia.ResultsIn all 18 eyes, it was possible to adequately visualize the needle shaft within the periconal space, as well as muscular cone, optic nerve and local anesthetic solution spread. Lidocaine 2% without epinephrine (0.790.19mL) was injected into the periconal space. There was no statistical difference between the intraocular pressure (meanSD) measured before (10.9 +/- 2.9mmHg) and after (11.9 +/- 3.8mmHg) the periconal anesthesia (p=0.38). The effectiveness of the ultrasound-assisted technique was shown according to the values for corneal sensitivity, assessed before and after periconal anesthesia (p<0.0001). Complications were not observed in this study.ConclusionsEye ultrasonography allowed visualization of all anatomic structures necessary to perform a periconal block, as well as the needle insertion and anesthetic spread in real time. Further studies are required to prove the real potential of ultrasound for reducing the incidence of complications associated with ophthalmic blocks, especially when anatomic disorders of the eye could potentially increase the risk.Clinical relevanceUltrasonography is a painless, noninvasive tool that may improve safety of ophthalmic regional blocks, potentially by reducing the prevalence of globe perforation or penetration of the optic nerve associated with the needle-based techniques.
