Karyological, biochemical, and physiological aspects of Callophysus macropterus (Siluriformes, Pimelodidae) from the Solimões and Negro Rivers (Central Amazon)

Karyological characteristics, i.e., diploid number, chromosome morphology and nucleolus organizer regions (NORs), biochemical characteristics, i.e., electrophoretic analysis of blood hemoglobin and the tissue enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI), and physiological characteristics, i.e., relative concentration of hemoglobin and intraerythrocytic concentrations of organic phosphates were analyzed for the species Callophysus macropterus collected from Marchantaria Island (white water system - Solimões River) and Anavilhanas Archipelago (black water system - Negro River). Karyological and biochemical data did not reveal significant differences between specimens collected at the two sites. However, the relative distribution of hemoglobin bands I and III (I = 16.33 ± 1.05 and III = 37.20 ± 1.32 for Marchantaria specimens and I = 6.33 ± 1.32 and III = 48.05 ± 1.55 for Anavilhanas specimens) and levels of intraerythrocytic GTP (1.32 ± 0.16 and 2.76 ± 0.18 for Marchantaria and Anavilhanas specimens, respectively), but not ATP or total phosphate, were significantly different, indicating a physiological adaptation to the environmental conditions of these habitats. It is suggested that C. macropterus specimens from the two collecting sites belong to a single population, and that they adjusted some physiological characteristics to adapt to local environmental conditions.

Community-based transconjunctival marginal rotation for cicatricial trachoma in Indians from the Upper Rio Negro basin

The objective of the present study was to describe, for the first time in Brazil, the use by a non-ophthalmologist of a community-based marginal rotation procedure by a posterior approach in the indigenous population from the Upper Rio Negro basin. Seventy-three upper eyelids of 46 Indians (11 males and 35 females) with cicatricial upper eyelid entropion and trichiasis were operated in the Indian communities using a marginal rotational procedure by a posterior approach by a non-ophthalmologist physician who had general surgery experience but only an extremely short period (one week) of ophthalmic training. Subjects were reevaluated 6 months after surgery. Results were classified according to the presence and location of residual trichiasis and symptoms were assessed according to a three-level subjective scale (better, worse or no change). Fifty-six eyelids (76.7%) were free from trichiasis, whereas residual trichiasis was observed in 17 eyelids (23.3%) of 10 subjects. In these cases, trichiasis was either lateral or medial to the central portion of the lid. Of these 10 patients, only 4 reported that the surgery did not improve the irritative symptoms. We conclude that marginal rotation by a posterior approach is an effective and simple procedure with few complications, even when performed by non-specialists. Due to its simplicity the posterior approach is an excellent option for community-based upper eyelid entropion surgery.

Avaliação da viabilidade de sementes de coração-de-negro (Poecilanthe parviflora Benth. - Fabaceae-faboideae) pelo teste de tetrazólio

A crescente demanda por sementes de espécies arbóreas brasileiras tem sido acompanhada pelo aumento da necessidade em se desenvolver métodos para a avaliação da viabilidade das sementes, principalmente por meio de testes rápidos, como o de tetrazólio. Poecilanthe parviflora (coração-de-negro) é uma espécie arbórea brasileira utilizada na restauração florestal, para a qual não há testes estabelecidos para a determinação da viabilidade de suas sementes. Assim, a pesquisa objetivou adequar o método do teste de tetrazólio para a avaliação da viabilidade de sementes da referida espécie. A partir de estudos preliminares, relacionados à hidratação, ao preparo e à coloração das sementes, as sementes foram hidratadas pela imersão direta em água, até atingirem 30% e 40%, e entre papel previamente umedecido com água, até atingirem 40%. Após a hidratação, o tegumento das sementes foi retirado manualmente e os embriões foram imersos em solução 0,075% de tetrazólio por 90 minutos a 40°C. Os resultados do teste de germinação foram empregados como referência para os de tetrazólio. É possível utilizar o teste de tetrazólio para avaliar a viabilidade das sementes de coração-de-negro. É recomendada a imersão das sementes em água, até atingirem 40%, a remoção do tegumento e a coloração do embrião em solução 0,075% de tetrazólio, durante 90 minutos, no escuro, a 40ºC.
