Diagnóstico de las condiciones normativas de radioprotección en los laboratorios de medicina nuclear en Santa Fe de Bogotá, durante el periodo comprendido entre enero y noviembre de 1998

La Organización Mundial de la Salud define la Medicina Nuclear como una especialidad que se ocupa del diagnóstico, tratamiento e investigación básica o clínica mediante el uso de trazadores radiactivos en medicina cuyo origen estuvo dirigido a estudios dinámicos y funcionales, realizado por primera vez en seres humano por Hevesy en 1.935. En Colombia, la medicina nuclear nace el 28 de julio de 1.955 cuando el Dr. Jaime Cortazar administra la primera dosis de I-131 en un paciente con hipetiroidismo en el Instituto Nacional de Radium, hoy en día conocido como el instituto Nacional de Cancerología. La primera gamacámaras, llegaron al país en la década de los años 70 como parte del Plan nacional hospitalario y fueron instaladas en el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología, y el hospital Militar Central, donde surgieron las primeras escuela de Medicina nuclear del país. En la actualidad, el Hospital de San José y la Fundación CardioInfaltil, también ofrecen esta profesión.

Efectes del fotoperíode sobre la qualitat espermàtica de mascles porcins Sus domesticus

En el presente estudio se analizan los efectos de los fotoperiodos ambientales de otoño e invierno y los fotoperiodos experimentales de 24, 12 y 0 horas de luz artificial sobre la calidad del semen de machos reproductores porcinos de raza Landrace. El estudio se realizó sobre 30 machos postpuberales de 8 meses de edad y testados con el fin de comprobar la homogeneidad. Los machos fueron distribuidos aleatóriamente en los 3 grupos de luz artificial durante 3 meses. El tratamiento de 12 horas de luz artificial fue considerado como grupo control. Previamente al inicio de cada tratamiento, se sometió a cada grupo de machos al fotoperiodo ambiental correspondiente a la época del año; así, se caracterizó también la calidad seminal en otoño e invierno, manteniendo la temperatura constante. La nave experimental que acogió a los machos tiene una superficie de 100 m2 y una altura de 3,5 m. Un pasillo central divide la nave en dos hileras de 5 y 6 celdas respectivamente. En una de las celdas pequeñas se instaló el maniquí y fue utilizada para las extracciones de semen. La iluminación artificial se consiguió con la instalación de 6 lámparas fluorescentes en el techo del pasillo central que proporcionaron una luz homogénea superior a 200 lux. Así mismo, la nave se mantuvo en todo momento a 21±1ºC y la humedad relativa osciló entre el 60-75%. A todos los verracos se les proporcionó una dieta nutritiva y equilibrada y se les sometió a un regimen de extracciones de semen de 2 veces por semana, habiendo sido previamente entrenados en la monta del maniquí. Les muestras de semen fueron recogidas según la técnica de la mano enguantada (Martín, 1982; Daza, 1992) y se analizaron los siguientes parámetros: el volumen y el pH seminales, la concentración, la vitalidad y la motilidad espermáticas, la resistencia acrosómica de los espermatozoides, la morfología espermàtica a partir de la frecuencia de los espermatozoides maduros, inmaduros y aberrantes, la producción testicular y el número de dosis seminales. Se analizó, además, bioquímicamente el plasma seminal al principio y al final de cada tratamiento experimental de luz artificial a partir de la concentración de proteína total, de la identificación de residuos fosforilados de proteína y del contenido de azúcares. También se determinaron los índices de fertilidad y prolificidad. El volumen y el pH de los eyaculados se utilizaron como marcadores del estado funcional de las glándulas sexuales accesorias; la concentración espermàtica como un indicador de la actividad testicular (Pinart y col., 1999). La vitalidad y la motilidad espermáticas fueron estimadores del grado de diferenciación del espermatozoide tanto a nivel testicular como epididimario; la resistencia acrosómica fue utilizada para valorar el nivel de diferenciación de la membrana acrosómica durante la espermiogénesis y/o maduración epididimària (Briz i col., 1996; Pinart i col., 1999). Referente a la morfología espermática, los espermatozoides inmaduros fueron marcadores de anomalías en la maduración de éstos a lo largo del conducto epididimario y los espermatozoides aberrantes se utilizaron como marcadores de una diferenciación defectuosa a nivel de testículo (anomalías primarias) y a nivel de conducto epididimario (anomalías secundarias) (Briz i col., 1996). La concentración de proteína total se utilizó para valorar la integridad funcional de las membranas del espermatozoide y la actividad de las glándulas sexuales accesorias. La identificación de proteínas con residuos de tirosina fosforilados fue un estimador de la viabilidad celular y la actividad de las glándulas sexuales, y el contenido de azúcares como un indicador de la producción de las vesículas seminales. La determinación del volumen y el pH de los eyaculados se realizó en las instalaciones de la granja a partir de semen fresco el mismo día de la extracción. El resto de parámetros se analizaron en el laboratorio durante las 48 horas posteriores a la extracción a partir de semen diluido en BTS (diluyente de Bestville) (Daza, 1992) y transportado y conservado a 15ºC. Las muestras fueron previamente filtradas con el fin de eliminar la tapioca. El estudio estadístico de los resultados obtenidos se realizó a partir del análisis de la varianza (ANOVA) con un nivel de significación de =0,05. En cuanto al estudio comparativo de los fotoperiodos ambientales estacionales se ha observado un incremento significativo del pH del eyaculado en los machos expuestos a otoño (P0,0001), mientras que el volumen seminal se mantiene en valores similares en ambos tratamientos (P=0,1650). La concentración espermàtica, la producción espermàtica y el número de dosis seminales que se pueden preparar a partir de un eyaculado se duplica en los verracos sometidos al fotoperiodo de primavera (P0,0001). La vitalidad y la motilidad espermáticas no experimentan cambios significativos entre tratamientos (P=0,3440 y P=0,9220, respectivamente). La resistencia osmótica de los acrosomas desciende únicamente en los machos expuestos a condiciones estacionales de otoño (P0,0001). En referencia a la morfología espermàtica aunque no se observan diferencias entre primavera y otoño (P0,05), sí se detecta un incremento de los porcentajes de espermatozoides inmaduros y aberrantes en ambos fotoperiodos estacionales, y en especial en los machos expuestos a condiciones fotoperiódicas de otoño. Según los resultados obtenidos en este estudio la calidad seminal de los verracos es inferior en el fotoperiodo de otoño debido a un descenso de la concentración y la producción espermáticas, un aumento del pH seminal, una disminución de la resistencia de la membrana acrosómica y a un incremento en la frecuencia de espermatozoides inmaduros y aberrantes. Parece ser, pues, que en el otoño tiene lugar la disminución de la producción testicular, cambios en la actividad de las glándulas sexuales accesorias y disfunciones en el proceso de diferenciación testicular y epididimària de los espermatozoides y especialmente del acrosoma. En relación a los resultados obtenidos en el estudio de los diferentes fotoperiodos artificiales se observa que la iluminación continua provoca un aumento significativo del volumen del eyaculado en el primer y segundo mes de tratamiento (P0,0001), disminuyendo en el tercer mes. La oscuridad absoluta no modifica este parámetro (P0,05). En cuanto al pH seminal la iluminación continua provoca un incremento progresivo del valor del pH a lo largo del periodo experimental (P0,0001), mientras que la oscuridad absoluta tiene un efecto más irregular. La exposición de los machos a iluminación continua y a oscuridad absoluta se manifiesta en un descenso de la concentración y la producción espermáticas que se mantiene hasta el segundo mes de tratamiento (P0,0001), observándose un incremento en el tercer mes de exposición de los machos a oscuridad absoluta (P=0,1010). De todas maneras, este descenso es mas severo en los machos sometidos a iluminación continua ya que no presentan recuperación. La vitalidad y la motilidad espermáticas no se ven alteradas por la iluminación continua y la oscuridad absoluta, ni tampoco el contenido de los azúcares mayoritarios del plasma seminal (P0,005). La glucosa aparece como un azúcar minoritario y sí que presenta concentraciones inferiores en los tratamientos experimentales de luz continua y de oscuridad absoluta (P0,0001 y P=0,0002, respectivamente). La resistencia osmótica de los acrosomas desciende en ambos tratamientos artificiales extremos de luz continua y oscuridad total (P0,0001), aunque en los machos expuestos a iluminación continua se produce una recuperación a partir del segundo mes de tratamiento (P=0,4930). Dado que tampoco se han observado diferencias significativas en las concentraciones de proteína total (P0,05), es probable que las anomalías de la membrana acrosómica se originen durante el proceso de espermiogénesis y/o maduración epididimària. La exposición de los verracos a oscuridad absoluta no altera la morfología espermàtica de los eyaculados, aunque se observa un aumento de la frecuencia de espermatozoides con anomalías en la forma de la cola en el primer mes (P0,0001), y un aumento de la frecuencia de espermatozoides inmaduros con gota distal y de espermatozoides con anomalías en el número de colas en el tercer mes de experimentación (P=0,0030 y P0,0001). La luz continua, sin embargo, provoca un incremento de la frecuencia de espermatozoides inmaduros con gota distal (P0,0001) y de espermatozoides con anomalías en la forma de la cola (P=0,0040) ya en el primer mes. El fotoperiodo provoca un descenso de la fertilidad de los machos expuestos a oscuridad absoluta en el tercer mes de tratamiento (P0,0001) y un incremento de ésta en los machos sometidos a iluminación continua (P=0,0005). La prolificidad no se ve modificada por ambas condiciones extremas de luz artificial (P0,05). Así pues, los resultados obtenidos demuestran que el fotoperiodo afecta la actividad testicular, provoca alteraciones en la actividad de las glándulas sexuales accesorias, altera el proceso de expulsión de la gota citoplasmática y provoca anomalías en el proceso de diferenciación de la cola tanto a nivel testicular como epididimario, siendo los verracos expuestos a luz continua más sensibles a estos parámetros que los verracos sometidos a oscuridad absoluta. El fotoperiodo, sin embargo, no altera de forma esencial la integridad de las membranas del espermatozoide ni la capacidad fecundante de éste.

Mapeamento cromossômico de genes ribossomais em espécies estuarinas da família Gerreidae Identificação de uniformidade cariotípica e sua empregabilidade com fins biotecnológicos - REPROGEN

Perciformes are dominant in the marine environment, characterized as the largest and most diverse fish group. Some families, as Gerreidae, popularly known as silver jennies, carapebas, or mojarras have a high economic potential to marine fish farming, natural explotation and game fishing. Genetic information of these species are of fundamental importance for their management and production. Despite exist over 13,000 marine fish species described, only 2% were cytogenetically analyzed and less than 1% have some reproductive characteristics known. Induced breeding, cytogenetic characterization and cryopreservation of gametes, represent important areas in applied fish studies. In this project cytogenetic analyzes were performed to acess genetic aspects of Gerreidae species, distributed in coastal and estuarine regions of Northeast Brazil. Different methods for identifying chromosomal regions were employed using conventional techniques (Ag-NORs, C-banding), staining with base-specific fluorochromes (DAPI-CMA3), and physical mapping of ribosomal genes 18S and 5S rDNA, through hybridization in situ with fluorescent probes (FISH). The six species analyzed showed remarkable chromosome conservatism. The 18S and 5S ribosomal genes when analyzed in phylogenetic perspective demonstrate varied evolutionary dynamics, suggesting ocurrence of stasis process in some groups and greater dynamism in others. Double FISH with 18S and 5S probes showed both how efficient cytotaxonomic markers in the homogeneous karyotypes of this group of species. The karyotypic pattern identified in addition to the evolutionary aspects of karyotype, are suggestive of existence of low potential of post-zygotic barrier, prompting further research to prospect for artificial interspecific hybridization of these species of commercial importance

Desenvolvimento de um reator fotoquímico aplicável no tratamento de efluentes fenólicos presentes na indústria do petróleo

With water pollution increment at the last years, so many progresses in researches about treatment of contaminated waters have been developed. In wastewaters containing highly toxic organic compounds, which the biological treatment cannot be applied, the Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP) is an alternative for degradation of nonbiodegradable and toxic organic substances, because theses processes are generation of hydroxyl radical based on, a highly reactivate substance, with ability to degradate practically all classes of organic compounds. In general, the AOP request use of special ultraviolet (UV) lamps into the reactors. These lamps present a high electric power demand, consisting one of the largest problems for the application of these processes in industrial scale. This work involves the development of a new photochemistry reactor composed of 12 low cost black light fluorescent lamps (SYLVANIA, black light, 40 W) as UV radiation source. The studied process was the photo-Fenton system, a combination of ferrous ions, hydrogen peroxide, and UV radiation, it has been employed for the degradation of a synthetic wastewater containing phenol as pollutant model, one of the main pollutants in the petroleum industry. Preliminary experiments were carrier on to estimate operational conditions of the reactor, besides the effects of the intensity of radiation source and lamp distribution into the reactor. Samples were collected during the experiments and analyzed for determining to dissolved organic carbon (DOC) content, using a TOC analyzer Shimadzu 5000A. The High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was also used for identification of the cathecol and hydroquinone formed during the degradation process of the phenol. The actinometry indicated 9,06⋅1018 foton⋅s-1 of photons flow, for 12 actived lamps. A factorial experimental design was elaborated which it was possible to evaluate the influence of the reactants concentration (Fe2+ and H2O2) and to determine the most favorable experimental conditions ([Fe2+] = 1,6 mM and [H2O2] = 150,5 mM). It was verified the increase of ferrous ions concentration is favorable to process until reaching a limit when the increase of ferrous ions presents a negative effect. The H2O2 exhibited a positive effect, however, in high concentrations, reaching a maximum ratio degradation. The mathematical modeling of the process was accomplished using the artificial neural network technique

Desenvolvimento de um sistema foto-oxidativo visando aplicação no tratamento de águas produzidas em campos de petróleo

Increasing concern with the environment, in addition to strict laws, has induced the industries to find altenatives to the treatment of their wastes. Actually, the oil industry has sought solutions to overcome a big environmental problem, i.e., oil field produced water being discharged to the sea. These effluents have organic compounds dissolved, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phenols, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX). These compounds are difficult to be removed and have high toxicity. The advanced oxidation processes - AOP are effective to degradation of these organic compounds, because they generate hydroxyl radicals with high potential of oxidation. This work includes the reactor photochemical development applied in the photodegradation treatment (by photo-Fenton process) of wastewaters containing organic compounds dissolved, aiming at treatment and recovery the oil field produced water. The studied reactor allowed the evaluation of two ultraviolet radiation sources that is the main factor to describe the feasibility of the photo¬Fenton treatment, i.e., sun and black light fluorescent lamps, and other relevant variables the process: concentration of reagents, irradiated area and also various reactor configurations to maximize the use of radiation. The organic matter degradation was verified with samples collected during the experimental and analyzed with a total organic carbon analyzer (TOC), which expressed the results in terms of mgC/L. The solar radiation was more effective than radiation from the lamps. it's an important factor for the operation costs cutting. Preliminary experiments applied to oil field produced water treatment have showed satisfactory results, reducing up to 76 % of organic matter

Estudo dos principais fatores que influenciam na solubilização dos hpas em águas

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) constitute a family of compounds characterized by having two or more condensed aromatic rings and for being a class of substances that are widely distributed in the environment as a complex mixture, being very persistent in the environment due to its low solubility in water. The application of chemometric methods to analytical chemistry has provided excellent results in studying the solubility of PAHs in aqueous media in order to understand the mechanisms involved in environmental contamination. The method consists in analyzing the solubilization of PAHs from diesel oil in water varying parameters such as stirring time, volume of oil added and pH, using a full factorial design of two levels and three factors. PAHs were extracted with n-hexane and analyzed by fluorescence spectroscopy because they have molecular characteristics fluorescent due to the large number of condensed rings and links, and gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The results of fluorescence analysis showed that only the stirring time and pH influenced the solubility of PAHs in diesel fuel. How is a non-selective technique for the study of fluorescence was performed on form and semi-quantitative. And for the chromatographic analysis the results showed that the solubility of the different PAHs is influenced differently so that you can classify them into groups by the results of the effects

Aplicação da parafina e do óleo de linhaça como hidrofobizantes da vermiculita, para remoção de derivados de óleo diesel resentes em água produzida sintética

Produced water has lately aroused interest due to their high degree of salinity, suspended oil particles, chemicals added in various manufacturing processes, heavy metals and radioactivity sometimes. Along with oil and due to its high volume production, water production is one of the pollutants of most concern in the process of oil extraction. PAHs due to their ubiquity and their characteristics carcinogenic or mutagenic and teratogenic even have attracted the attention of every scientific society. Formed from the incomplete combustion of organic matter may be natural or anthropogenic. Some materials have been researched with the goal of cleaning up environmental matrices that may be contaminated by hydrocarbons. Among these materials researched various clays have been employed, of which highlights the vermiculite. The family of phyllosilicates, vermiculite for its potential and its high hydrophobic surface area has been a tool widely used in the decontamination of water in processes of oil spills. However, when it loses its capacity expanded hydrophobic having the necessity of using a hidrofobizante to make it organophilic. Among the numerous hidrofobizantes researched and used the linseed oil was the pioneer. In this study sought to evaluate the capacity of removal of PAHs using the vermiculite hydrofobized with linseed oil and wax also, for it was made use of the 24 full factorial design as the main tool for the experiments. We also evaluated the clay grain size (-20 +48 and -48 +80 #), the percentage of hidrofobizante applied (5 and 10%) and salinity of the water produced synthesized in our laboratory (35,000 and 55,000 ppm). The molecular fluorescence spectroscopy due to its sensitivity and speed was used to verify the adsorption capacity of clay, as well as gas chromatography served as an auxiliary technique to identify and quantify the PAHs in solution. In order to characterize the vermiculite was made use of X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction. The infrared and thermogravimetry were essential to note hydrophobization and the amount of coating of clay. According to the fluorescence analysis showed that the test 12 was the best result in about 98% adsorption of fluorescent compounds, however the high salinity, the smallest particle size, the highest percentage of hidrofobizante and the use of linseed oil showed greater efficiency in the removal capacity of these hydrocarbons, in accordance with the trend followed by the analysis of the major factors of the factorial design. To verify the adsorption capacity of clay using a fixed volume of water produced synthetically, used as the test base 12, at their respective levels and factors. Thus, it was observed that after adding about 1 ½ liters of water solution produced synthetically, about 300 times its volume in mass, the vermiculite was able to adsorb 80% of fluorescent species present in solution

Conjugação e validação de controle isotípico IgG1-FITC para uso em citometria de fluxo

Em meados da década de 50 iniciou-se o desenvolvimento da citometria de fluxo, tecnologia que permite verificar características físico-químicas de células ou partículas suspensas em meio fluido. Esta tecnologia utiliza anticorpos monoclonais marcados com fluorocromos como ferramenta de investigação em diversas análises e necessita de controles isotípicos para definição da região negativa (background). Estes controles são constituídos por imunoglobulinas de mesmo isotipo e fluorocromo dos anticorpos testes, sendo o isotiocianato de fluoresceína (FITC) o marcador fluorescente mais utilizado na conjugação de anticorpos. Os controles isotípicos têm como função definir a fluorescência inespecífica (células negativas) e as regiões fluorescentes (células positivas). No presente estudo foi selecionado anticorpo monoclonal murino (AcMm) dirigido contra antígeno eritrocitário canino, produzido no Laboratório de Anticorpos Monoclonais do Hemocentro de Botucatu, o qual reage positivamente com hemácias de cães, mas nunca com leucócitos humanos, tendo, portanto, potencial utilidade como controle negativo em citometria de fluxo. A purificação do AcMm da subclasse IgG1 foi feita por cromatografia de afinidade em Proteína-A Sepharose, e o controle da purificação realizado por eletroforese em géis de ágarose e poliacrilamida (SDS-PAGE). A imunoglobulina purificada foi conjugada ao FITC e filtrado em coluna de Sephadex G-25 para separação das proteínas marcadas e não-marcadas. O AcMm conjugado foi testado contra hemácias de cães, e o êxito da conjugação comprovado por testes de fluorescência, sendo a mediana de positividade de 94,70. Frente a leucócitos humanos a mediana de positividade foi 0,03 contra 0,50 dos reagentes comerciais. Os testes estatísticos não-paramétricos de Wilcoxon e correlação de Spearman comprovaram a eficiência e validam o controle isotípico produzido em comparação aos reagentes comerciais testados.
