Human salivary gland tumors originated from intercalated ducts present a broad range of histologic and cytologic patterns, mainly due to the presence of myoepithelial cells. The aim of this study is to verify the differentiation grade of neoplastic cells and a possible relation between myoepithelial cell differentiation and the presence of luminal secretory contents. The expression of vimentin and cytokeratin (CK) intermediate filaments, actin myofilament and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) was investigated by double labeling immunocytochemical technique, in thirty salivary gland neoplasms: 5 pleomorphic adenomas, 5 myoepitheliomas, 3 basal cell adenomas, 7 adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) and 10 polimorphous low grade adenocarcinomas (PLGA). Tumors with intercalated duct differentiation (pleomorphic adenomas, basal cell adenomas and ACC) express CKs 7, 8, 18 and 19 in the luminal cells and coexpress eventually CK14 with these CKs. Some luminal cells stained with anti-EMA antibody, mainly where a secretory content in the lumen was observed. Outer ductal cells and other myoepithelial-like cells express vimentin, sometimes coexpressing actin and/or CK14 with vimentin. Plasmacytoid cells in myoepitheliomas and pleomorphic adenomas express vimentin and rarely CKs 7, 8, 18 and 19, sometimes coexpressing these CKs with CK14 but they are negative for the remaining antigens. Tumors without intercalated duct differentiation (solid basal cell adenoma and PLGA) express vimentin and CKs 7, 8, 14 and 18, sometimes coexpressing CKs 8 and 18 with CK14. In conclusion, in tumors with intercalated duct differentiation, myoepithelial cells express vimentin and sometimes coexpress actin and/or CK14 with vimentin, never coexpressing other CKs with vimentin. CK14 and actin are independently expressed by myoepithelial cells, so their expression is probably induced by different stimulus. However, the secretory function of luminal cells, visualized by EMA staining, ....

Objetivo: O presente trabalho, dividido em três estudos, teve como objetivo geral identificar e quantificar a liberação de componentes e avaliar a citotoxicidade e a biocompatibilidade de cimentos de ionômero de vidro (CIVs). Método: Para o estudo 1, extratos dos CIVs Vitrebond (VB), Fuji Lining LC (FL), Vitremer (VM), Fuji II LC (FII), Ketac Fil Plus (KF) e Ketac Molar Easymix (KM) foram obtidos pela imersão de corpos-de-prova em meio de cultura celular (DMEM). Esses extratos (n=9 por grupo) foram analisados por eletrodo específico quanto à presença de flúor e por espectrometria de absorção atômica quanto à presença de alumínio e zinco. HEMA e iodobenzeno foram identificados por CG/EM (n=6). Para o estudo 2, células MDPC-23 foram colocadas em contato com os extratos dos CIVs por 24 horas. Em seguida, foram avaliadas a atividade da desidrogenase succínica (SDH) (n=8), a produção de proteína total (PT) (n=8), a atividade da fosfatase alcalina (FAL) (n=8) e a morfologia celular (n=2). Para o estudo 3, tubos de polietileno (n=24 por grupo) foram preenchidos com os CIVs e implantados no tecido subcutâneo de 42 ratos. Como grupo controle foi utilizada a guta-percha. Após 7 ou 15 dias de pós-operatório, metade dos espécimes de cada grupo e período (n=6) foi preparada para análise histológica, e os demais (n=6) para análise da expressão de genes que codificam para IL-1? e TNF-?. Resultados: Os extratos de todos os CIVs apresentaram uma concentração de flúor significativamente maior do que o meio de cultura DMEM (controle), tendo o VB liberado maior quantidade, estatisticamente significante, do que os demais CIVs. O VB foi, também, o único material que liberou quantidades relativamente altas de alumínio e de zinco. O HEMA foi identificado nos extratos de todos os CIVs modificados por resina (VB, FL, VM e FII), e o iodobenzeno... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Além de ser bom bioindicar a espécie Prochilodus lineatus (Characiformes, Prochilodontidae) também apresenta importância econômica, ecológica e ampla distribuição na região neotropical. A ecotoxicologia estuda a interação da química ambiental e a biota, sendo assim, este estudo teve como objetivo identificar alterações quantitativas de bile e glicogênio no fígado dos peixes, órgão responsável pelo processo de detoxificação, biotransformação e também pela reserva de nutrientes como o glicogênio e por secretar a bile. Os grupos foram separados em três tratamentos com o objetivo de comparar os danos causados aos peixes que vivem em áreas perturbadas, (como é o caso do Lago Azul – Rio Claro-SP), e os que vivem em águas com detergentes biodegradáveis diluídos, como na maioria dos nossos cursos d’água, comparados a um grupo controle (água clorada do poço artesiano da UNESP- Campus Rio Claro). Análises histológicas foram feitas com a utilização das técnicas de H-E e PAS, sendo o material coletado após sete e 20 dias de experimento, visando identificar os efeitos agudos de tais poluentes. A identificação de alterações na estrutura histológica foi realizada com o auxilio do programa ImageJ com o qual foi feita a quantificação da área ocupada pela bile e pelo glicogênio

Pentraxina 3 (PTX3) é um componente essencial da resposta imune inata e age como receptores de reconhecimento de padrões (PPRs) reconhecendo produtos microbianos, opsonizando fungos, bactérias Gram positivas e negativas, além de apresentar a capacidade de ativar o sistema complemento. Poucos estudos na literatura mundial têm investigado a expressão de PTX3 nas complicações gestacionais associadas à invasão microbiana da cavidade amniótica e resultados conflitantes têm sido descritos. Avaliar a expressão gênica e protéica de PTX3 em membranas corioamnióticas de gestações pré-termo complicadas por Trabalho de Parto Prematuro (TPP) e bolsa íntegra ou Rotura Prematura de Membranas Pré-Termo (RPM-PT), na presença de corioamnionite histológica (CA). Foram incluídas no estudo 30 gestantes com TPP, sendo 15 na ausência e 15 na presença de corioamnionite histológica e 30 gestantes com RPM-PT, sendo 15 na ausência e 15 na presença de corioamnionite histológica. Cortes parafinizados foram encaminhados à análise histopatológica para confirmação de corioamnionite histológica. Outros fragmentos de 1cm2 das membranas foram submetidos à extração de RNA total. Após a extração do RNA, as amostras com concentração entre 0,02 e 0,2g/ L de RNA foram submetidas à obtenção de cDNA para posterior utilização na quantificação da expressão gênica de PTX3 pela técnica da PCR em tempo real empregando-se o Sistema TaqMan® Gene Expression Assays. Fragmentos das mesmas amostras incluídas no estudo foram utilizados para verificar a expressão da proteína PTX-3 através da técnica de Western Blotting. Dentre as 60 membranas corioamnióticas incluídas no estudo, 56 (93,3%) expressaram PTX-3. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na expressão de mRNA de PTX-3 (p=0,137) entre os grupos: RPM-PT na presença de CA (Md: 0.355; 0.11-1.03), RPM-PT na...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Cutaneous melanoma is a malignancy caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of melanocytes. Has been increasing in incidence and mortality over the years. This type of tumor may arise in the skin or any other place where there was migration of neural crest cells. Melanocytes are located in the basal layer of the epidermis forming the epidermal melanin unit, involving a melanocyte to 36 keratinocytes. The proliferation of melanocytes depends on this relationship with the keratinocytes, gap junctions, E-cadherin and desmoglein. The basal membrane is responsible for promoting the integrity of the skin, their adhesion structures shown to be altered in several skin diseases. Some molecules that play the role of adherence in this membrane are the laminins, type IV collagen and type XVII and perlecan. Analysis of protein expression of cell adhesion molecules in melanoma by immunohistochemistry on tissue microarray (TMA). We selected paraffin blocks of patients who were diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma in the period 1995 to 2010, reaching a sample of 124 cases. All these have gone through review of preparation for subsequent histological analysis of tissue microarray (TMA). The protein expression will be analyzed by immunohistochemistry, using markers anti-laminin, anti-collagen type IV and type XVII and anti-perlecan. There was a predominance of female patients, Caucasians and southeastern Brazil. There were frequent in type of extensive superficial ulcers with Breslow depth greater than 4 mm, Clark level IV and mitotic index greater than 6 mitoses per cga. The patients, most of them were female with mean age of 57.13 years and Caucasian. The most frequent histological type was extensive superficial followed by acral lentiginous. Predominated cases very deep, with Breslow thickness greater than 4 mm, Clark IV, ulcerated and on average by 9 cga mitosis, leading to worse prognosis in this sample. It...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

The eletrochemotherapy is a new treatment option for neoplasms that involves the application of chemotherapeutic drugs endovenously or intralesionally, associated with local severe and short duration electrical pulses. The electrical pulses promote destabilization of the cell membrane, causing transitory pore formation and facilitating the entry of chemotherapeutic agents inside the cells, increasing its cytotoxicity. This therapy allows for lower doses of chemotherapy drugs compared to conventional chemotherapy, resulting in the decrease of side effects and costs of treatment. The eletrochemotherapy has proved effective in the treatment of cancer regardless of its histological origin and location. This review aims to highlight possibilities to use this treatment in Veterinary Oncology

The Sarcocystis genus includes obligatory two-host life cycle protozoan parasites. It is the most numerous of the six genera of the Sarcocystidae family. The infection caused by parasites of this genus is a zoonotic and cosmopolitan disease known as sarcosistosis or sarcosporidiosis. The sarcositosis though frequently asymptomatic in its definitive hosts can be fatal in its intermediate hosts. The usual diagnoses of sarcosistosis takes place through a histological demonstration of schizonts in blood vessels and organs, and the presence of cysts in muscle tissue by necropsy or biopsy, this second method still more common and based on morphological features of the sarcocyst. However, these methods can be inadequate to a precise identification of the infector species once that, besides the genus being of numerous species, these often present similar morphological features. Another factor that makes the diagnostic more difficult is the non specificity of some Sacocystis species to their hosts. Consequently, molecular diagnostic methods have been used in order to identify the infector species and the parasite specific biological cycles, demonstrating also new species and coevolutive aspects between parasite and host. Among the most employed molecular techniques the Polimerase Chain Reaction (PCR), the nested-PCR and the Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) stands out

Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane protein channels expressed in a wide variety of cells and tissues that are involved in the transport of water. In the male excurrent duct, the movement of fluid and solutes across the epithelium is essential for establishing the proper luminal environment in which sperm mature and are stored. The initial aim of the present propose is to localize AQP 2 e 9 in epithelium of the initial segment, caput, corpus and cauda epididymidis in Mongolian gerbil during postnatal development (10, 30, 60, 120 and 300 days), observing possible changes in the pattern of expression of the AQPs along the postnatal development. The animals will be killed by inhalation of carbon dioxide. After euthanasia, the epididymis will be removed and the different regions will be isolated. The biological material obtained will be processed in accordance with the routines of histological techniques and imunnohistochemistry to study the expression and localization of the AQPs 2 and 9. The results obtained will be analyzed and photographed in conventional light microscope

Discussions on the production of housing for residents of low income, in Brazil, has come a long, but still no great solutions. Not only a political problem, the issue of housing involves also social and economic issues. From the beginning there was a downward grade of the slum villages more sophisticated more precarious, as if the social scale. And that is what this work will be done. In an attempt to produce forms of housing for low-income population, but not to be a mere product of capitalism, or political propaganda, but to try to reach a real solution to the problem. The project will propose new forms of construction, use of renewable energy, reuse of water and other, besides new forms of construction, the project aims to create a sustainable education to future residents
