Ultrastructural features of spermatogenesis in Melanorivulus punctatus (Cyprinodontiformes: Rivulidae)

Fish belonging to the family Rivulidae possess one of the most complex reproductive systems. Rivulus, a genus of freshwater fish in the Rivulidae family, was recently reclassified into five genera, including Melanorivulus. Its type species, M. punctatus, is widely distributed and probably represents a species complex. The ultrastructure of sperm has been broadly used in systematics, and we hereby describe the ultrastructural features of spermatogenesis in M. punctatus. Ten M. punctatus males were collected from the reservoir of Parque Estadual da Quineira, municipality of Chapada dos Guimardes, Mato Grosso, Brazil, and prepared for analysis by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. M. punctatus undergoes cystic spermatogenesis. Its cysts consist of groups of germ cells that are in synchronous development and are surrounded by cytoplasmic projections of Sertoli cells. With the breakdown of the cysts, the spermatozoa are released and their maturation is completed in the duct, where part of the cytoplasmic material is discarded through the vesicles. The mature spermatozoon is characterized by a spherical head with homogeneously condensed chromatin, a symmetric midpiece consisting of a pair of perpendicular centrioles, a ring of mitochondria, several vesicles, and one flagellum medial to the nucleus. Early stages of spermatogenesis show no peculiarities; however, in spermiogenesis, we observed that the spermatids remain interconnected by cytoplasmic bridges and have pockets of residual cytoplasm. The sperm is of the aquasperm type and is similar to that observed in the members of the family Rivulidae. The spermatozoa have a single flagellum that consists of a classic axoneme (9 +2), as found in most groups of fish, despite the lateral extensions. (c) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Avaliação histológica do processo de reparação do tecido ósseo do rato frente à aplicação de um adesivo à base de cianoacrilato

This research objective was to verify the tissues reactions obtained, in surgical experimental bone defect, after the etil cyanoacrylate chemical adhesive application in rats parietal bones. 1t was investigated the acceptance or no acceptance of the tissues surround the bone defect in which was placed the etil cyanoacrylate and the control bone defect. The specimens were submitted to light microscopic analysis. 24 adults rats were used (Rattus norvergicus, albinus, Wistar) with the average weight to 300 gr. and were divided in two groups: treated and control. After the bone defects were realized, etil cyanoacrylate was placed over one of the defects at the parietal bone (treated group). On the other defect nothing was placed and it was used like control group. After 24 hours, 3,5,7,30 and sixty days after surgery, for animals of each group were sacrificed. The bone samples were removed and fixed in 10% formalin during 72 hours and analyzed using light microscopy. The results showed that the acute inflammatory responses was more observed at lhe treated group than the control group. The chemical adhesive was observed until 60 days follow the surgery and the tissues around it present normal appearance. The chemical adhesive, etil cyanaocrylate, did not impede at the bone repair process
