ABSTRACT
RESUMO O presente trabalho teve como objetivo principal avaliar o potencial do uso do óleo essencial de Aloysia citriodora no controle in vitro de Fusarium sp., isolado de plântulas de beterraba infectadas com o mesmo. O trabalho foi realizado por meio de dois experimentos: um sobre o efeito do óleo essencial no crescimento micelial, e outro sobre o efeito na germinação de conídios do fungo. No primeiro trabalho, avaliou-se em delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, o efeito das concentrações 0,0155%; 0,0315%; 0,0625%; 0,125%; 0,250% e 0,500% do óleo essencial de A. citriodora em placas de Petri® com meio de cultivo BDA, mais a testemunha, com meio BDA puro. Cada placa foi considerada uma repetição, as quais foram incubadas a 24ºC±1ºC e submetidas a fotoperíodo de doze horas. Avaliou-se o crescimento radial do patógeno em função do crescimento micelial do patógeno quando este atingia as bordas da primeira placa. No segundo experimento, as mesmas concentrações foram testadas, nas mesmas condições de incubação, no entanto, em lâminas de microscopia com meio BD. Utilizou-se delineamento inteiramente ao acaso, sendo considerada como unidade experimental cada lâmina utilizada. Avaliou-se 24 horas após a incubação, em microscópio óptico, a germinação dos primeiros vinte conídios visualizados a partir do canto esquerdo superior para o direito. Os resultados do segundo experimento foram expressos em porcentagem de germinação de conídios. Os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que este óleo essencial possui efeito fungistático e fungicida sobre o crescimento micelial e na germinação de conídios de Fusarium sp.. Além disso este efeito é maior em função do aumento da concentração do óleo essencial.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the potential use of Aloysia citriodora essential oilisolated from beet seedlings infected with it. The study was performed by conducting two experiments evaluating the effect of the essential oil on mycelial growth and fungus conidia germination. In the first study, in a completely randomized design, the effect concentrations (0.0155%; 0.0315%; 0.0625%; 0.125%; 0.250% and 0.500%) of essential oil of A. citriodorawas evaluated on Petri® dish with a PDA cultivation medium, plus the control, with half pure PDA. Each plate was taken as a repeat, and incubated at 24°C±1°C and a photoperiod of twelve hours. The radial growth of the pathogen, when the first plate was hit by the mycelial growth of the pathogen on its edges was evaluated. In the second experiment, the same concentrations were tested under the same incubationconditions, however, on microscope slides with half PD medium. The design was used completely randomized, each microscope slide used was considered as one experimental unit. Germination of the first 2 conidia strains, viewed from the upper left to the right was evaluated24 hours after incubation, using an optical microscope. The results of the second experiment were expressed as a percentage of conidia germination. The results obtained showed that this essential oil has fungistatic and fungicidal effect on the mycelial growth and at the conidia germination of Fusarium sp., which has a greater effect with increasing concentrations.

Presentamos un paciente de sexo masculino, de 44 años, que concurrió a nuestro servicio por la aparición en flanco derecho de una lesión tumoral única de 3x2 cm. eritematosa y asintomática, de dos meses de evolución, tras la ingesta de ácido valproico durante 18 meses. Después de un año de haber suspendido la droga mencionada anteriormente, y tras la ingesta de lamotrigina durante dos meses, se observó una lesión tumoral similar en región supraclavicular derecha. Ambas lesiones presentaron iguales características histológicas, confirmándose el diagnóstico de pseudolinfoma T por ácido valproico y por lamotrigina. El interés de este artículo es la presentación, con un año de diferencia, de dos pseudolinfomas cutáneos causados por distintas drogas en el mismo paciente.

The effects of water stress on leaf water relations and growth are reported for three perennial tussock grass genotypes under glasshouse conditions. Studies were performed in genotypes El Palmar INTA and Selección Anguil of Agropyron scabrifolium (Dõell) Parodi, and El Vizcachero of A. elongatum (Host) Beauv. Agropyron scabrifolium El Palmar INTA is native to a region with warm-temperate and humid climate without a dry season, and an average annual precipitation of 900 mm. Agropyron scabrifolium Selección Anguil comes from a region with a sub-humid, dry to semiarid climate and a mean annual precipitation of 600 mm. Agropyron elongatum is a widespread forage in semiarid Argentina with well-known water stress resistance. A mild water stress treatment was imposed slowly; plants reached a minimum pre-dawn leaf water potential of about -1.83 MPa by day 21 after watering was withheld. In all genotypes, water stress led to a reduction of leaf growth. There was a tendency for a greater epicuticular wax accumulation on water-stressed plants of A. scabrifolium Selección Anguil and A. elongatum than on those of A. scabrifolium El Palmar INTA. This may have contributed to obtain greater turgor pressures and relative water contents in the first two than in the later genotype. In turn, this may have contributed to determine smaller leaf growth rate reductions in A. scabrifolium Selección Anguil and A. elongatum than in A. scabrifolium El Palmar INTA under water stress. This study demonstrated variation in water stress resistance between genotypes in A. scabrifolium, and between A. scabrifolium Selección Anguil and A. elongatum versus A. scabrifolium El Palmar INTA, which was related to their differential responses in water relations.

Samples from parotid, submaxillary, and von Ebner salivary glands of six chronic alcoholic individuals who had died of alcoholic hepatic cirrhosis were analyzed by topographic and histochemical routine stains and marked for cytokeratins; two normal adult individuals were used as control. Modifications in the acinar cells were found, but the most evident changes were observed in the ductal system: enlargement of major ducts, heterogeneous expression of cytokeratins and athrophy in epithelial cells, desquamated cells and stasis of content, and ductal hyperplasia in von Ebner glands. The lymphoplasmocytic infiltration does not represent the typical lymphocytic focus on Sj÷grens syndrome or other connective tissue pathologies. Our findings indicate that functional and structural variations are produced both in serous acini and ducts parotid, submaxilar and von Ebner glands affected by alcoholic sialosis.
ABSTRACT
Se analizan los aspectos dermatológicos de 100 pacientes con patología de la conducta alimentaria, de los cuales 60 correspondieron a bulimia nerviosa (BN) y 40 a anorexia nerviosa (AN). La mayoría eran de sexo femenino, con edad promedio de 17 años. Fueron características comunes de ambas patologías xerosis, acné, alopecia y caries, destacándose en BN dermatitis artefacta, carotenodermia y signo de Russell y en AN hipertricosis y amenorrea. Se enfatiza la importancia del reconocimiento de estos cuadros que están en crecimiento y donde el diagnóstico precoz es fundamental para iniciar un tratamiento adecuado

La histogénesis de las glándulas palatinas fue estudiada desde el punto de vista estructural y citoquímico en embriones y fetos humanos de 8 a 32 semanas de desarrollo. Los primordios glandulares aparecían a las 12 semanas de vida intrauterina. Los extremos distales redondeados de los cordones epiteliales y el mesénquima circundante mostraban abundantes gránulos PAS positivos y alcianofílicos. A las 14 semanas las piezas secretorias terminales y el sistema ductal presentaban diferentes estadios de diferenciación estructural. Predominaban los acinos mucosos con escasos acinos mixtos, en tanto que los acinos serosos aparecían ocasionalmente. Entre las 20 y 24 semanas los acinos mucosos coloreados con azul de toluidina presentaban diferentes grados de metacromasia aún dentro de células de un mismo acino. En los conductos se identificaban células metacromáticas intercaladas con células basófilas en la cubierta epitelial. Estos hallazgos sugieren que las glándulas palatinas presentan un material histofisiológico típico entre las 14 y 20 semanas. La presencia de sustancias secretorias PAS positivas, alcianofílicas y metacromáticas en la luz acinar y contenido luminal de los conductos nos sugiere que la secreción de mucinas se inicia en la vida intrauterina
