Photodynamic therapy, term introduced by von Tapeiner in 1900, can be defined as the administration of a non toxic drug, i.e., a dye, known as photosensitizer (FS), which subsequently will be illuminated with light of specific wavelength. PDT is based on the interaction among FS, oxygen and light, which through photochemical reactions cause cell death. The FS molecules must have a high probability to form the singlet state after the excitation, which can induce chemical changes in the neighborhood in two ways, called reactions type I and type II. The type II reaction is based on the exchange of energy to molecular oxygen, exciting it to its state of higher energy (singlet), which is highly reactive. The proposed mechanisms for cell death are linked to damage to the DNA, mitochondria and to the cytoplasmic membrane. Several pre‐clinical and clinical trials have been carried out and the PDT is already used in many countries for treatment mainly against certain types of cancer. The therapy also has been gaining strength in antimicrobial control, since the microorganisms have appeared increasingly resistant to current antibiotics. Another attempt to use the PDT is for the inactivation of macro‐organisms, such as micro‐crustaceans and mosquitoes. To this end I tested whether the photosensitizers methylene blue, rose Bengal and the chlorophyll a has insecticidal activity against the yellow fever and dengue vector mosquito, Aedes aegypti. Since these diseases have no effective treatments, its control is linked to the vector control, which has shown resistance to chemical pesticides used. Based on this, this work shows its importance, because it is a new type of mosquito control since all the photosensitizers used are low cost, do not generate toxic products at the concentrations used and showed good results in mortality. The best photosensitizer was rose Bengal... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

The bee Apis mellifera has a great importance because it is the most economically valuable pollinator for crops worldwide, ensuring cross-pollination and increasing fruit yield. Moreover, agriculture increasingly develops chemicals to control weeds, fungi and insect pests to ensure productivity. Insecticides are used on a large scale in the state of São Paulo, in cultures of citrus for control of greening. Applications are usually made by aircraft and as a result of the effect derives a significant mortality is observed in apiaries near the plantations. Honey bees can get in contact with such chemical agent through their activities of water harvesting, plant resins, pollen and nectar. Intoxication resulting from this exposure can be lethal, which is easily detectable, or cause effects on the physiology and behavior of the insect. These, in turn are hardly detectable, such as paralysis, disorientation, behavioral changes, but can compromise the entire social structure of the colony, therefore aimed to study the effects of the insecticide Thiamethoxam behavior of honeybees A. mellifera. Newly emerged individuals and with 10 days of age were tested. Applications of 1 μL de Thiamethoxam, diluted in acetone, were made on the dorsal thorax with a microapplicator. Preliminarily, it was observed LD50 twenty four hours after topical treatment of Thiamethoxam. It was found that the LD50 for newly emerged honeybees is 8 ng/bee and for honeybees with 10 days of age is 18 ng/bee. The behaviors were analyzed 1 hour after application of insecticide at doses corresponding to LD50/100, LD50/50, LD50/10 and LD50, besides the control group. In the test reflex proboscis extension, there was impairment of behavior at doses of 8 and 18 ng/bee workers in newly emerged workers and 10 days of age, respectively. And in locomotor behavior was no change only at a dose of 18 ng/bee workers at 10 days of age... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

A vida nas grandes cidades distancia cada vez mais o ser humano e a natureza, e a necessidade de parques e áreas verdes dentro das grandes zonas urbanas nunca foi tão evidente. Nesse cenário, o papel dos jardins botânicos deixa de ser meramente científico, para assumir também um lado mais voltado à educação ambiental. Vários exemplos espalhados pelo mundo, inclusive no Brasil, confirmam esta afirmação. A proposta de um Jardim Botânico para Paranapiacaba, famosa pela frequente neblina, se deve ao fato de ser ela uma vila histórica, cravada no que ainda resta da Mata Atlântica, em São Paulo. Seu conjunto arquitetônico de edificações em estilo inglês – no qual se destacam a reconstituição da estação ferroviária, utilizada atualmente para o turismo ferroviário, bem como seu original relógio londrino – e o entroncamento ferroviário são dos mais significativos exemplos da arquitetura e da engenharia ferroviária inglesa dos fins do século XIX. Por isso, Imagem 1 – O relógio Johnnie Walker Benson foi construído em Londres no século 19 e é o símbolo da Vila de Paranapiacaba Foto: Henrique Granado, disponível em: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/24325448 Jardim Botânico em Paranapiacaba 7 em 1987, a vila foi tombada pelo Patrimônio Estadual (CONDEPHAAT); em 2000, pelo World Monument Fund, como Tesouro Cultural Mundial; em 2002, pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional – IPHAN e, em 2003, pelo Patrimônio Municipal (COMDEPHAAPASA). Apesar de o local carecer de investimentos em uma série de segmentos, é viável um projeto que alie a preservação da mata nativa com o turismo ecológico crescente na região. Assim, um Jardim Botânico em Paranapiacaba é um projeto viável e o objetivo deste trabalho
