ABSTRACT

This study aimed to report three cases of contagious agalactia (CA) by Mycoplasma agalactiae in goat kids born with polyarthritis. The nanny goats belonging to two different herds presented clinical signs of CA during pregnancy and in parturition they were apparently healthy. The carpal articulations of the three goat kids, the tarsus articulation in one, and thigh-femoral articulation in another showed swelling, pain and impairment of the flexion-extension movements. The articular liquid was collected from two goat kids at birth and revealed a content which varied from transparent to fibrinopurulent, presenting a yellow coloring. The samples were plated on modified Hayflick. The colonies had the appearance of "fried egg" and were confirmed as being M. agalactiae by biochemical tests and 16S rRNA PCR. Blood was collected from three animals soon after birth and submitted to the indirect ELISA test for the determination of the titration of the anti- M. agalactiae antibodies. The results confirmed that the goat kids were infected during pregnancy by M. agalactiae and resulted in the birth of an offspring with clinical signs of CA being immune tolerant...

ABSTRACT

As propriedades de barreira à umidade de embalagens plásticas para produtos oftálmicos de capacidade nominal de 20 mL e terminação 15 mm nos formatos cilíndrico e oval, de diferentes composições (100% Polietileno de Baixa Densidade (PEBD), 100% Polipropileno (PP) e blendas com percentuais 10% e 40% de Polietileno de Alta Densidade (PEAD) em PEBD), foram estudadas neste trabalho. Foi verificada também a influência do batoque gotejador (de maior ou menor orifício de dosagem) e a influência do fechamento na taxa de transmissão de vapor d'água. O trabalho foi conduzido sob duas condições de estocagem a 25 ºC/40% UR e a 40 ºC/75% UR. Verificou-se que o diâmetro do orifício gotejador não interferiu significativamente na perda de peso da embalagem avaliada a 25 ºC/40% UR. Sob a condição de estocagem a 40 ºC/75% UR verificou-se um aumento da taxa de transmissão de vapor d'água das embalagens comparativamente as mesmas embalagens avaliadas a 25 ºC/40% UR. O sistema de fechamento não favoreceu um acréscimo significativo da taxa de transmissão de vapor d'água, o que indica que a permeação ocorreu principalmente através do corpo da embalagem plástica. A propriedade de barreira foi influenciada pela composição da embalagem plástica chegando a uma redução média de 47% na taxa de transmissão de vapor d'água para a embalagem de PEBD com 40% PEAD em relação à embalagem com100% PEBD de formato cilíndrico. Verificou-se ainda que o formato oval, por apresentar uma maior área superficial exposta comparativamente à embalagem de formato cilíndrico, com regiões de menor espessura de parede, pode favorecer um ligeiro aumento da taxa de transmissão de vapor d'água da embalagem...


The moisture barrier properties of plastic ophthalmic product bottles of nominal capacity 20 mL and finish diameter 15 mm, in cylindrical and oval shapes, with various compositions (100% Low Density Polyethylene(LDPE), 100% polypropylene (PP) and blends with10% and 40% High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) in LDPE), were assessed in this study. The effects of the drop hole size (higher or lower dosage diameter) and the screw cap on the Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) were also assessed. This study was conducted under two conditions of storage, at 25 °C/40% RH and 40 °C/75% RH. It was observed that the drop hole diameter did not influence significantly the weight loss of the container at 25 °C/40% RH, whereas at 40°C/75% RH, the WVTR of the container was higher than that of the same package at 25 °C/40% RH.The screw cap did not significantly affect the WVTR, indicating that the permeation occurred primarily through the plastic body. The barrier property was influenced by the composition of the plastic container; thus, compared to LDPE, there was a mean reduction of 47% in the WVTR of LDPE blended with 40% HDPE, when both bottles were cylindrical. It was found that the oval shape, because of the larger exposed surface area relative to the cylindrical shape, as well as the presence of regions of thinner wall, can favor a slight increase in the WVTR of the bottle...

ABSTRACT

This paper aims to evaluate the efficiency of three inactive vaccines against contagious agalactia prepared with samples of Mycoplasma agalactiae isolated in Brazil and different adjuvants. Vaccine 1 adsorbed with aluminum hydroxide was administered in 23 goats (Gc1) and 13 sheep (Gov1); vaccine 2 containing Montanide IMS-2215-VG was administered in 22 goats (Gc2) and 12 sheep (Gov2) and vaccine 3, containing Montanide Gel-01 was administered in 22 goats (Gc3) and 12 sheep (Gov3). All animals were negative for Ma at indirect ELISA and received two doses of 2mL each, subcutaneously, within a 21 day interval. Five animals from each species were used as control. Seventy-five days after the booster, four animals from each vaccinated group and two from the control group were challenged with 5mL of Ma culture containing 10(7)cfu/mL, orally and through immersion of the female's udder in lactation. The serological response was analyzed during vaccination days (0 and 21) and at 51, 81, 111, 141 and 171 days after vaccination. The collection and analysis of the challenged animals were conducted at the day of the challenge (D0) and 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49 and 56 days after the challenge. The three vaccines induced the production of antibodies, having no significant statistical difference (p<0.05). Animals from groups Gc1, Gc2 and Gov2 developed higher levels of antibodies, with significant statistical difference compared to the other vaccinated group and control group (p<0.05). After the challenge, the animals from the control presented an increase in regional lymph nodes and conjunctivitis, mastitis and arthritis. In four vaccinated animals, discrete conjunctivitis and congestion of the episcleral veins was observed. It is concluded that vaccines 1 and 2 induced levels of protective antibodies in goats and sheep, sufficient for clinical protection of the animals submitted to the experimental infection, indicating its use on the prevention of contagious agalactia.


Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a eficácia de três vacinas inativadas contra agalaxia contagiosa, preparadas com amostra de Mycoplasma agalactiae isolada no Brasil e diferentes adjuvantes. A vacina 1, adsorvida com hidróxido de alumínio, foi administrada em 23 caprinos (Gc1) e 13 ovinos (Gov1); a vacina 2, contendo Montanide IMS-2215-VG, foi administrada em 22 caprinos (Gc2) e 12 ovinos (Gov2); e a vacina 3, contendo Montanide Gel-01 foi administrada em 22 caprinos (Gc3) e 12 ovinos (Gov3). Todos os animais eram negativos para Ma no ELISA indireto e receberam duas doses de 2mL cada, por via subcutânea, com intervalo de 21 dias. Cinco animais de cada espécie foram utilizados como controle. Setenta e cinco dias após o reforço, quatro animais de cada grupo vacinado e dois do grupo controle foram desafiados com 5mL de cultura de Ma contendo 10(7)ufc/mL, por via oral e pela imersão dos tetos das fêmeas em lactação. A resposta sorológica foi analisada nos dias da vacinação (zero e 21) e aos 51, 81, 111, 141 e 171 dias pós-vacinação. As coletas e análises dos animais desafiados foram realizadas no dia do desafio (D0) e sete, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49 e 56 dias pós-desafio. As três vacinas induziram produção de anticorpos, não havendo diferença estatisticamente significativa entre caprinos e ovinos (P>0,05). Animais dos grupos Gc1, Gc2 e Gov2 produziram níveis de anticorpos mais elevados, com diferença estatisticamente significativa em relação aos demais grupos vacinados e ao grupo controle (P<0,05). Após o desafio, os animais do grupo controle apresentaram aumento de linfonodos regionais e conjuntivite, mastite e artrite. Em quatro animais vacinados, foi observada discreta conjuntivite e congestão dos vasos episclerais. Conclui-se que as vacinas 1 e 2 induziram níveis de anticorpos protetores em caprinos e ovinos suficientes para proteção clínica dos animais submetidos à infecção experimental, podendo ser indicadas para prevenção da agalaxia contagiosa.

ABSTRACT

The present study aimed to verify the caprine semen characteristics during dry and rainy seasons in the Brazilian Northeast, and the influence of these seasons on cooled semen. Seminal volume, concentration, percentage of motile cells, vigor and spermatic morphology, as well as biochemical profile (fructose, citric acid, P, Ca2+, Mg, total proteins and phospholipase A2 activity) were analyzed. It was observed a reduction (P<0.05) in normal sperm morphology, fructose, citric acid, P, Mg and total protein concentration during the dry season, which did not affect the motility, vigor, volume and sperm concentration. Phospholipase A2 activity was increased during the dry season (P<0.05). The analysis of the semen cooled at 4ºC during 48 hours showed reduction in total motility and vigor sperm during the dry season (P<0.05). Based on these results, we conclude that the best period of year for caprine semen cooling is the rainy season.


Verificou-se as características seminais de caprinos durante a época seca e a chuvosa no Nordeste brasileiro e a influência da época no resfriamento do sêmen. Foram mensurados volume, concentração espermática, porcentagem de espermatozoides móveis, vigor, morfologia espermática e características bioquímicas (frutose, ácido cítrico, fósforo, magnésio, proteínas totais e atividade da fosfolipase A2). Observou-se redução (P<0,05) no número de espermatozóides morfologicamente normais, frutose, ácido cítrico, fósforo, magnésio e proteínas totais durante a época seca que não influenciaram na motilidade, vigor, volume e concentração do sêmen. Entretanto, a atividade da fosfolipase A2 foi maior na época seca. Quando o sêmen foi submetido ao resfriamento a 4ºC durante 48 horas, houve redução (P<0,05) na motilidade total e no vigor espermático durante a época seca. Com base nesses resultados, conclui-se que o período chuvoso é melhor para resfriar sêmen de caprinos no Nordeste brasileiro.

ABSTRACT

Proteomics correspond to the identification and quantitative analysis of proteins expressed in different conditions or life stages of a cell or organism. Methods used in proteomics analysis include mainly chromatography, two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Data generated in proteomics analysis vary significantly, and to identify a protein it is often necessary to perform a series of experiments, comparing its results to those found in proteomics databases. Existing proteomics databases are usually related to only one type of experiment or represent processed results, not raw data. Therefore, proteomics researchers frequently have to resort to several data repositories in order to be able to perform the identification. In this paper, we propose an integrated proteomics and transcriptomics database that stores raw and processed data, which are indexed allowing them to be retrieved together or individually. The proposed database, dubbed BNDb for Biomolecules Nucleus Database, is implemented using an MySQL server and is being used to store data from the parasite Schistosoma mansoni, the scorpion Tittyus serrulatus and the spider Phoneutria nigriventer. The database construction uses a relational approach and data indexes. The data model proposed uses groups of tables for each data subtype, which store details regarding the experimental procedure as well as raw data, analysis results and associated publications. BNDb also stores transcriptomics data publicly available which are associated with identifications performed on new samples. By using BNDb, we expect not only to contribute to proteomics research but also to provide a useful service for the scientific community.

ABSTRACT

O presente trabalho investigou os efeitos farmacológicos e toxicológicos do extrato metanólico dos galhos de Posoqueria acutifolia. Foram realizados os testes de contorções abdominais, formalina, placa quente, edema de pata e pleurisia, bem como para a toxicidade aguda. As doses de 100, 200 e 400 mg/kg inibiram as contorções abdominais. No teste da formalina, a dose de 400 mg/kg reduziu o tempo de lambida da primeira fase, enquanto este efeito foi observado nas doses de 200 e 400 mg/kg sobre a segunda fase. O tempo de permanência sobre aplaca quente aumentou na dose de 400 mg/kg, embora a dose de 200 mg/kg também tenha tido efeito significativo após 90 minutos de tratamento. Houve uma redução do edema de pata, do volume do exsudato e da migração leucocitária nas doses testadas. O extrato testado não foi tóxico nas doses avaliadas. Portanto, o extrato metanólicode P. acutifolia exibe efeitos analgésico e antiinflamatório, o que poderia estar relacionado a seu uso na medicina popular


In the present study, the pharmacological and toxic effects on mice of methanol extract of branches of the Brazilian tree Posoqueria acutifolia were investigated. The tests carried out were acetic acid induced writhing, paw licking induced by formalin, hot plate, paw edema and pleurisy, as well as in acute toxicity test. Doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg inhibited the abdominal contortions. In the formalin test, the first phase of paw licking was shortened at the dose of 400 mg/kg, while the second phase was significantly affected by 200 and 400 mg/kg. The time of reaction to the hot plate increased with 400 mg/kg, although 200 mg/kg had a significant effect after 90 min of treatment. All doses of the methanolic extract reduced the paw edema, the volume of the exsudate and the leukocyte migration. The tested extract showed low acute toxicity to mice. It was concluded that (or thus) the methanol extract of P. acutifolia branches possess analgesic and antiinflammatory activity, which could justify the popular medicinal application of this plant.

ABSTRACT

Diabetes mellitus is a widespread disease whose frequency increases constantly and is expected to reach alarming levels by the year 2025. Introduction of insulin therapy represented a major breakthrough; however, a very strict regimen is required to maintain blood glucose levels within the normal range and to prevent or postpone chronic complications associated with this disease. Frequent hyper- and hypoglycemia seriously affect the quality of life of these patients. Reversion of this situation can only be achieved through whole organ (pancreas) transplant or pancreatic islet transplant, the former being a high-risk surgical procedure, while the latter is a much simpler and may be accomplished in only 20-40 min. The advantages and perspectives of islet cell transplantation will be discussed, in the light of tissue engineering and gene therapy. Ongoing research carried out in our laboratory, aimed at developing clinical cell and molecular therapy protocols for diabetes will also be focused

ABSTRACT

Microorganisms with large genomes are commonly the subjects of single-round partial sequencing of cDNA, generating expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Usually there is a great distance between gene discovery by EST projects and submission of amino acid sequences to public databases. We analyzed the relationship between available ESTs and protein sequences and used the sequences available in the secondary database, clusters of orthologous groups (COG), to investigate ESTs from eight microorganisms of medical and/or economic relevance, selecting for candidate ESTs that may be further pursued for protein characterization. The organisms chosen were Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, Dictyostelium discoideum, Fusarium graminearum, Plasmodium yoelii, Magnaporthe grisea, Emericella nidulans, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Eimeria tenella, which have more than 10,000 ESTs available in dbEST. A total of 77,114 protein sequences from COG were used, corresponding to 3,201 distinct genes. At least 212 of these were capable of identifying candidate ESTs for further studies (E. tenella). This number was extended to over 700 candidate ESTs (C. reinhardtii, F. graminearum). Remarkably, even the organism that presents the highest number of ESTs corresponding to known proteins, P. yoelii, showed a considerable number of candidate ESTs for protein characterization (477). For some organisms, such as P. brasiliensis, M. grisea and F. graminearum, bioinformatics has allowed for automatic annotation of up to about 20 of the ESTs that did not correspond to proteins already characterized in the organism. In conclusion, 4093 ESTs from these eight organisms that are homologous to COG genes were selected as candidates for protein characterization

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Determinar o custo do transplante hepático no Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal do Paraná. Método. Os dados do prontuário de 24 pacientes submetidos a 25 transplantes hepáticos foram avaliados do dia da internaçao para o transplante hepático até a data da alta hospitalar ou óbito para determinar o número de dias de internaçao, o local de internaçao, a quantidade de material e medicamentos usados, os exames complementares e procedimentos realizados. Honorários médicos nao foram incluídos no estudo. Resultados. A idade dos pacientes variou de 6 a 56 anos, tendo seis deles menos que 14 anos de idade. Cinco pacientes foram a óbito durante a internaçao hospitalar. Retransplante foi realizado em somente um paciente. O custo médio da retirada do fígado do doador foi de US$ 2,783.19. O custo total do transplante hepático variou amplamente entre os pacientes, na dependência de ocorrência de complicaçoes pós-operatórias, do número de dias de internaçao hospitalar e da quantidade de transfusao de hemoderivados. O custo total variou de US$ 6,359.84 a US$ 75,434.18, com média de US$ 21,505.53. O item mais caro do transplante hepático foi o custo com a hemoterapia, seguido do custo com medicamentos e diária hospitalar. Conclusao. O custo do transplante hepático varia muito entre os pacientes e pode ser realizado no Brasil a um custo inferior ao relatado nos Estados Unidos e na Europa.

ABSTRACT

Phospholipase A2(PLA2), a component of most snake venom toxins, cleaves 3-sn-phosphoglycerides releasing lysophosphatidyl-choline. The indirect quantitative assay method for PLA2 was standardized for specific antivenom titration in a fast and sensitive assay by the similarity with the hemolysis induced by PLA2 and by complement system in sheep erythrocytes. The curves obtained by plotting the degree of hemolysis against the doses of snake venom are concave to the abscissa to the abscissa axis following an equation similar to that previously described for the hemolysis induced by the C system. We observed that venoms of some Bothrops, Crotalus and Micrurus species contained around 1 X 10(3) to 10(4) Z/mg of venom, while the venom of Naja contained over one million Z/mg. Antibodies against PLA2 were titrated by incubating amounts of venom predetermined to give 1 to 5 Z with various dilutions of the antivenoms, and the remaining active PLA2 was determined in the hemolytic assay. We observed the following: a) the antivenoms contained specific antibodies against the PLA2 present in the corresponding venoms; b) cross-reactivity was not detected among PLA2 epitopes from venoms and nonspecific antivenoms: and c) the assay quantitatively performed determined the specific antibodies directed to epitopes on the molecule of PLA2. The method described in this highly specific, sensitive and reproducible, besides being fast and inexpensive.

ABSTRACT

Clinical oncology requires methods to detect tumor markers in patients sera and tissues Presently, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs based enzyme immunoassays are amongst the most advantageous techniques. Here we present a sensitive and specific double-antibody enzyme immunoassay for serum me surement of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). It has been developed with MAbs which recognize nonoverlapping peptide epitopes on the antigen molecule. The capture MAb 6C7 is GOLD 1 highly specific antibody while the tracer MAb 5.D11, labeled with biotin, is GOLD 4 that cross-reacts with nonspecific cross-reacting antigen (NCA) expressed on granulocytes. In addition the biotinylate MAb is shown to be also useful to detect CEA by immunohistochemistry.

ABSTRACT

Com o objetivo de avaliar as opiniöes e conhecimentos de médicos intensivistas sobre doaçäo de órgäos, todos os intensivistas dos 13 hospitais de Curitiba com unidade de terapia intensiva de adulto participaram do estudo. De 81 intensivistas entrevistados, 75 (92,6 por cento) responderam o questionário. Todos responderam que säo favoráveis à doaçäo de órgäos, 74 (98,7 por cento) doariam seus próprios órgäos e 72 (96 por cento) autorizariam a doaçäo de órgäos de um membro da sua família. Sessenta e três (84 por cento) intensivistas näo conheciam ou näo souberam explicar a legislaçäo atual sobre doaçäo de órgäos. Quarenta e um (54,7 por cento) responderam errado ou näo sabiam os critérios médicos e legais para doaçäo de órgäos. Cinco (6,7 por cento) desconheciam a necessidade do doador ter morte encefálica, três (4 por cento) acreditavam que o doador deveria ter morte cardíaca para ser doador e 44 (58,7 por cento) näo souberam explicar o que é morte encefálica. A maioria desconhecia a sobrevida atual dos pacientes submetidos a transplante dos vários órgäos. Conclui-se deste estudo que quase todos os médicos intensivistas de Curitiba säo favoráveis a doaçäo de órgäos e estäo dispostos a participar ativamente na obtençäo de consentimento de familiares para doaçäo. O conhecimento básico sobre a legislaçäo brasileira e os vários aspectos médicos do transplante de órgäos é insatisfatório.

ABSTRACT

A remocao dos calculos coledocianos permanece um problema importante na cirurgia biliar. A alta incidencia de calculos residuais ressalta a importancia da remocao cuidadosa dos calculos coledocianos durante a primeira operacao biliar. Hoje existem disponiveis varios metodos cirurgicos e nao-cirurgicos de tratar tais pacientes. O objetivo do presente estudo e rever nossa experiencia com esses metodos. Foram revisados os prontuarios de 85 pacientes, tratados pelo mesmo cirurgiao, por litiase da via biliar principal, num periodo de 26 anos. Apenas 9,4 por cento dos pacientes nao tinham historia previa de ictericia e 69 por cento estavam ictericos no momento da cirurgia. Colecistectomia havia sido realizada previamente em 16 pacientes, e em dois desses o coledoco havia sido explorado. Oito pacientes foram operados durante um episodio de colangite aguda supurativa. Em tres casos havia calculos coledocianos sem a presenca concomitante de colelitiase. Colecistectomia, exploracao do coledoco, remocao dos calculos e drenagem a Kehr foi realizada em 48 pacientes. Foi associado um procedimento de drenagem em 21 pacientes: em 18 casos anastomose coledocoduodenal latero-lateral, hepaticojejunostomia em um caso e esfincteroplastia em dois. Os 16 pacientes restantes haviam sido submetidos previamente a colecistectomia...
