Aspectos clínicos, histopatológicos e moleculares da dermatosparaxia em ovinos White Dorper

Dermatosparaxis in animals is an autosomal recessive disorder of the connective-tissue clinically characterized by skin fragility and hiperextensibility. The disease in White Dorper sheep is caused by mutation (c.421G>T) in the ADAM metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 2 (ADAMTS2) gene. This study describes the dermatological, histological and the molecular findings of the dermatosparaxis in White Dorper sheep from a herd located in the center-west of São Paulo State. The herd consisted of one ram, four ewe and their lambs. In this herd two lambs had clinical signs consistent with dermatosparaxis. Histopathological evaluation of the affected skin of these two animals also revealed consistent findings with dermatosparaxis, characterized by dysplasia of the collagen, which were arranged in small and fragmented collagen bundles and with foci of degeneration of collagen. Prominent cutaneous appendages and severe hemorrhagic focus in dermis region associated with mild neutrophilic infiltrate in the deep dermis. PCR using DNA blood and specific primers to amplify the mutation region c.421G>T was optimized in order to perform molecular diagnosis of the disease. The direct sequencing of the PCR products proved that the two clinically affected animals had the mutation responsible for dermatosparaxis, previously described for this breed and allowed the definitive diagnosis of the disease. This is the first report of the dermatosparaxis in White Dorper sheep in Brazil and the methodology used to confirm the diagnosis could be used in future studies to assess the prevalence of this mutation in Brazil, allowing the adoption of measures to prevent the spread of this mutation in the Brazilian White Dorper herd.

A constituição dos significados e dos sentidos no desenvolvimento das atividades de estudo

This article aims to discuss the importance of the interaction process between the child and teachers, that occurs in the context of the development of the teaching and learning processes of the school subjects, as to permit the constitution of the meanings and senses essential to his formation, aiming the development of his capacities, abilities, skills, aptitudes and values that are indispensable to hers process of humanization. The processes developed in that context implicates, essentially, an adequate selection of social meanings relevant to the development of the human senses in the students; an organization of study activities that cause them a motif to work on them; and such a situation of interaction between the teacher and the students and among the students that permit emotional experiences good to the integration of the students in the study activities.
